Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

When the character attribute panel of the square-flag knight named Adonis was closed by Hod, his eyes quickly shifted to the group of Vlandia crossbowmen not far away.

Each of these fourth-level crossbowmen had a firm look in their eyes and a resolute face, and they exuded a strong aura of killing.

As almost full-level crossbowmen in Vlandia culture, they were equipped with the same hickory crossbows as the top crossbowmen in the empire.

This crossbow is well-made and powerful. Just one look at it can make you feel its unparalleled lethality.

In this way, when these crossbowmen stand together, they form a powerful aura that cannot be ignored, which looks quite grand.

Although these crossbowmen are positioned as crossbowmen, each of them carries a huge shield with a health of up to 560.

This means that once they complete the archery attack, they can instantly transform into a shield-bearing soldier.

This also allows these hard crossbowmen to not only output from a distance, but also act as a line of defense in close combat to protect teammates. They can be said to be both output and guardian!

It must be said that such an extremely outrageous equipment configuration is too rare.

However, for Hod, who has been struggling in the game world for many years, he likes this type of soldiers.

After all, in the fierce battle, having a team with such diverse capabilities will undoubtedly bring great advantages to oneself.

Of course, even if they have been promoted to the fourth level, these Vlandia crossbowmen have not been able to get rid of the unique disadvantage of this type of soldiers that has always existed-relatively small amount of ammunition.

Alas~

After sighing faintly, Hod turned his eyes and looked to the other side.

There, five Vlandia chivalrous cavalrymen standing quietly, leading tall war horses, with upright postures.

As a third-level noble cavalry, the Vlandia chivalrous cavalry is undoubtedly a beautiful landscape on the battlefield.

They are equipped with a carefully crafted, light and tough lance, which is not only gorgeous in appearance, but also a weapon for them to launch a fatal attack in battle.

When the charge is launched, these chivalrous cavalry will not hesitate to ride their horses, hold their lances tightly, and become little followers who charge into battle.

The reason why they are called "little followers" is that although they have certain combat effectiveness and courage, they have obvious shortcomings in armor equipment.

The armor they wear is too low, with only 35 points of protection, and the leg armor is as low as 29 points.

Such weak defense makes them seem a little vulnerable when facing enemy attacks.

What's worse is that although they are riding war horses, they are not wearing heavy horse armor.

This means that once they fall off their horses, they can only become live targets of the enemy.

Therefore, when commanding these Vlandia chivalrous cavalry to charge in the game, the commander must grasp the best time.

Normally, the wisest approach is to place them behind the square-flag knights.

In this way, the square-flag knights with stronger strength and better equipment in front can serve as a barrier, effectively attracting and resisting most of the enemy's firepower, thereby reducing the risk of the chivalrous cavalry being severely damaged.

At the same time, the chivalrous cavalry in the rear can also take this opportunity to accumulate strength and find the right time to give the enemy an unexpected blow, avoiding the embarrassing situation of falling off the horse before breaking through the enemy formation.

Hod slowly closed his eyes, and his mind began to replay the scene of commanding the Valandian chivalrous cavalry to charge and break through the battle when he was playing the game before, like a movie.

Thinking of the wonderful part, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly, revealing a trace of excitement that was difficult to conceal.

After a long while, Hod slowly opened his eyes and brought those scattered thoughts back to reality bit by bit.

He turned to look at Adonis, the leader of the patrol team who was tidying up the team not far away, and asked: "Adonis, how did you encounter these criminals?"

Hearing Hod's question, Adonis stepped forward quickly, bowed his head and saluted, and replied: "Your Majesty, when I led the soldiers to perform routine patrol tasks near this area, I accidentally discovered the traces left by these criminals when they passed by."

"Considering that they might pose a threat and harassment to the people of the empire, I led the patrol team to track down these traces all the way, and finally fortunately intercepted them here."

After saying that, Adonis took off the full-face helmet on his head, revealing a middle-aged face with traces of time.

He looked respectful and serious, with his eyes always lowered.He dared not look directly at Hod.

Hod nodded with satisfaction, smiled and praised: "Well, you did a good job! The people of our Holy Roman Empire are the foundation of the country, and we will never allow these guys to invade at will."

Adonis was delighted to receive the emperor's praise, but he still maintained a humble attitude and bowed his head and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise. This is our duty."

"Okay, now that you have dealt with these criminals, continue to perform your patrol mission. Make sure that the lives and safety of our imperial people are not threatened in any way."

Hod waved his hand and signaled Adonis to get up and leave.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" After Adonis saluted Hod again, he turned around and put on his helmet, strode towards the patrol team, and shouted loudly for the soldiers to line up again.

Looking at the patrol team leaving, Hod also turned around and rode back with the shock cavalry, joined Nott and others, and continued to expand the territory of the empire.

————

Time flies, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Lord's Hall of Rhine Town, the atmosphere is solemn and solemn.

The Chief Minister was standing respectfully in front of his seat, reporting in detail to Hod who was sitting above him.

"Your Majesty, after more than a month of expansion, our great Holy Roman Empire has achieved remarkable achievements!"

"At present, we have a town, which is more prosperous than the surrounding areas, and there are as many as seven castles, and even nearly a hundred villages and manors." The Chief Minister's voice was loud and full of pride.

"It is worth mentioning, Your Majesty, now two-thirds of the land in the North has been returned to the Empire, and the double-headed eagle flag is flying high on these lands, but..."

The Chief Minister suddenly stopped talking, and a hint of worry appeared on his face that was originally full of confidence.

Seeing this, Hod frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "But what?"

The chief minister took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty, according to the latest intelligence, the Kingdom of Estera seems to have noticed the changes in the North."

"Not long ago, scouts from the kingdom frequently appeared on our border. They are obviously spying on the situation in the North."

Hearing this news, Hod's face was not panicked at all. Instead, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile: "Haha, it's really those fallen kingdoms!"

"Did you only notice the drastic changes in the situation in the North at this time?"
