Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Hood knew exactly what Vito said before he left the hall.

Whether in the virtual game world or in the real world, those noble lords who prided themselves on their noble birth would never allow a person like him with a background of outlaws to create his own country.

Undoubtedly, sooner or later, these nobles will join together to attack him and launch a fierce offensive.

However, it is too early to consider these things at this moment. The most urgent task at present is still to expand the empire's sphere of influence and make its own strength stronger.

With this in mind, Hood walked back to his seat slowly and opened the team panel with ease.

Recalling the siege battle he had just experienced, although the soldiers under his command quickly ended the battle, they still gained some valuable experience points.

It is worth mentioning that the moment he entered the Lord's Hall, the familiar system prompt sounded in his mind again.

The system prompt clearly informed him that some soldiers in his team had met the conditions for upgrading. There is no doubt that this should be attributed to his coaching skills.

You know, according to the original setting rules of the game, the more soldiers the player can command, the more extra experience points the coaching skills can bring.

At this moment, the number of his team is more than 400, so the experience points that the coaching skills can provide must be several times more than before.

[Upgradable troops: 283 new recruits from Vlandia (after Jeff, Kuhn, and Julvus were crowned as lords, Hod recruited 3 more new recruits)]

[Spend 8 silver deer per person, can be upgraded to: Vlandia Conscripted Crossbowmen/Vlandia Light Infantry]

…

[Upgradable troops: 15 elite robbers]

[Spend 2 silver deer per person, can be upgraded to: robber leader]

…

[Upgradable troops: 10 Vlandia Light Infantry]

[Spend 1 gold dragon and 5 silver deer per person, can be upgraded to Vlandia Spearmen/Vlandia Infantry]

Looking at the upgradeable soldiers on the panel, Hod silently recited in his mind, and with a thought, he upgraded all the soldiers.

Fifteen elite robbers advanced to robber leaders.

Ten Vlandia Light Infantry advanced to Vlandia Spearmen.

The 283 new recruits of Vlandia were divided into two routes for advancement by Hod, one of which was advanced to Vlandia Conscripted Crossbowmen, and the other to Vlandia Light Infantrymen.

After upgrading all the soldiers, Hod's team list became as follows:

Team: 400/400

12 Robber Leaders (Level 5 Arms)

15 Robber Leaders (Level 4 Arms)

6 Bandit Leaders (Level 5 Arms)

50 Vlandia Crossbowmen (Level 3 Arms)

150 Vlandia Conscripted Crossbowmen (Level 2 Arms)

24 Vlandia Spearmen (Level 3 Arms)

133 Vlandia Light Infantrymen (Level 2 Arms)

10 Vlandia Servants (Level 2 Arms)

In addition to the soldiers on the team list, Hod also has dozens of Kuyel Rangers and hundreds of Kuyel Shock Cavalry.

In addition, there are 200 Valandian soldiers stationed in Rhine Town, and there are dozens of robbers in each of the three villages. There is also a small patrol team in the wild near Rhine Town.

In addition, the most important thing is that after occupying Kanerba Castle, a soldier can also be canonized and transformed into a lord.

But for a while, Hood didn't know who to choose as the lord of Kanerba Castle.

The only familiar people left around him are Nott, Monkron, Orville, Alder, Batu, and Ashilan.

However, Nott has made it clear that he is not willing to become a lord.

Monkron, Orville, Batu and others, because they each shoulder the important duties of commanders of their arms, are also not suitable to leave the current team to take on the position of lord.

Faced with such a situation, Hood fell into contemplation. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided not to canonize the lord of Kanerba Castle for the time being, but to directly classify it as a castle directly under the empire.

There is a significant advantage in taking such a move, that is, Hod can station troops inside the castle.

Not only that, he can form a patrol team for Kanerba Castle.

Once there are enough garrisons and high-powered patrols, Kanerba Castle will be able to firmly become an integral part of the empire's territory.

Just as Hod was preparing to recruit garrisons, Alder suddenly rushed over.

Behind him followed a group of Vlandian spearmen, who carried several huge wooden boxes and followed him slowly.He walked slowly into the hall.

"Your Majesty, we found these in the castle!" Alder reported loudly to Hod, and ordered the spearmen to put down the wooden boxes, and then opened the wooden boxes.

I saw several wooden boxes shining with gold, and golden dragons were exposed to Hod's sight.

"Well done, Alder." Hod patted Alder's shoulder with joy, and then directly put the golden dragons into the system backpack.

There were six wooden boxes in total, four of which had golden dragons, and the remaining two were filled with silver deer and bronze sheep.

Just after Hod was sure to collect them, he saw that the coins in the wooden boxes were rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Only about two minutes later, the six wooden boxes that were originally full had become empty!

At the same time, the balance in Hod's backpack kept jumping and growing, and finally stopped at the astonishing amount of 4832 golden dragons, 8 silver deer and 69 bronze sheep.

With such a huge fortune, Hood no longer had any scruples.

He decisively temporarily incorporated the 150 conscripted crossbowmen in the team into the castle's garrison.

Then, Hood waved his hand, and with a flash of light, the same number of Vlandian recruits as the previously conscripted crossbowmen appeared in the hall one after another.

After pulling these newly recruited Vlandian recruits into the garrison, Hood once again pulled the conscripted crossbowmen who had just been put into the garrison back into his own command.

Looking at the new batch of troops in the castle, Hood nodded with satisfaction and whispered softly: "Well... I think these 150 garrison troops should be enough to deal with the current situation."

After a pause, he continued: "The next thing to do is to start forming a patrol team."

As soon as the voice fell, Hood opened the newly added territory function on the system interface.

On this option page, he selected the option to form a small patrol team and confirmed the execution of the operation.

Well... the next step is to put up double-headed eagle flags in other castles, villages, and manors in the Marquisate.

Hod walked out of the hall and slowly came to the top of the castle. Facing the breeze, he looked into the distance.
