Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Estera is an ancient country that has gone through hundreds of years. Although their eastern border has fallen into the hands of the Kuyel people at this time, it cannot be ignored that their southwestern region is still firmly in their own hands."

"These two territories are rich in resources and have sufficient populations, and still contain huge war potential." At this time, the military and political minister walked forward with a solemn expression, bowed and saluted, and said solemnly.

"Hahahaha... Dean, do you really think that a dying kingdom like Estera can become our opponent?"

"If it weren't for the consideration of fully digesting the currently occupied territory, I would personally lead the army to attack their capital!" Hood stood up from the throne suddenly, waving his arms vigorously and shouting loudly.

"The Kingdom of Estra is simply a rotten shell!"

"Those nobles have been living in luxury and debauchery all day long and have long lost their fighting spirit. Their soldiers are even more weak and incompetent, with lax military discipline, and cannot be compared with our army at all."

"Except for its vast territory, this so-called great country has nothing in terms of military strength and has no ability to resist our attack at all!" Hod was full of disdain, and his words were full of arrogance.

However, it must be admitted that Hod did have the capital to speak so arrogantly.

The fierce expansion battle in just one month not only made him famous, but also made his soldiers grow unprecedentedly.

Now, even the weakest soldiers in his army have been successfully promoted to third-level warriors.

This unstoppable tiger and wolf division undoubtedly gave Hod enough confidence to despise all enemies.

Moreover, once the robber lords appointed by him gather together, they can immediately form an army of more than a thousand people.

If he mobilized the people of the empire again, Hod could raise a conscripted army of about 5,000 people at any time.

With his current strength, let alone being able to dominate the world, it would be easy to deal with the Kingdom of Estra.

Just as Hod was considering whether to take such action, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the corridor outside the originally quiet hall.

This abrupt sound instantly broke the atmosphere in the hall, causing the three ministers present to feel nervous.

When the footsteps got closer and closer until they were clearly audible, the three ministers sitting in the hall and Hod almost simultaneously cast their eyes towards the door.

The next moment, an elite robber followed Nott closely and stepped into the hall breathlessly.

At this time, Nott's face flushed, and his eyes were full of unstoppable anger.

The elite robber next to him looked a little embarrassed, not only his armor was torn, but also stained with a lot of blood and dust.

"Boss! Ende Village was attacked by the Kingdom of Estera..."

Nott reported to Hod furiously, with anger flashing in his wide-open eyes.

Ende Village is one of the many villages that Hod personally appointed as robber lords.

It has a special geographical location, right at the border of the empire, and is closely adjacent to the southern border of the Kingdom of Estera.

"What?!"

Hearing the news, Hood's face changed and he asked sternly: "When did it happen?"

Faced with Hood's majestic and oppressive questioning, the elite robber did not dare to be negligent at all. He quickly knelt down with a plop and said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, it was ten days ago!"

"At that time, we were completely unprepared, and the kingdom's army suddenly appeared and caught us off guard. My lord Napark saw that the kingdom's army was strong and immediately sent me to Rhine City for help..."

"Okay! This is outrageous! I haven't taken action against them yet, and these ignorant guys dared to attack me first!!!"

Hood was so angry that he trembled all over, veins on his forehead bulged, and he roared angrily.

He clenched his right fist tightly, and then used all his strength to hit the armrest of the seat hard, making a dull bang.

Huo De turned to face the Minister of Military Affairs, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out. He glared and roared: "Pass my order, issue an emergency summons to all the lords in the empire, let them quickly assemble their troops and prepare to meet the enemy!!! Anyone who disobeys will be severely punished!"

The Minister of Military Affairs bowed slightly and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, calm down. Even if you send messengers to notify the lords in the empire immediately, by the time they lead their troops to come, I am afraid that the enemy has already broken through our border defense line, and everything will be too late."

"I think it is better to directly order them not to come to the imperial capitalInstead of gathering, they should lead their respective armies to the border of the empire directly, so that they may still have time to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.

However, at this moment, the chief minister who had been silent all the time suddenly stepped forward, bowed his hands, and slowly said: "Your Majesty, I think it is not wise to summon the lords' army of the empire at this time."

"You know, we have just completed the rule of those castles and villages. The time is still short and the foundation is not stable."

"If you rashly summon all the lords at this time, I am afraid that those people who originally belonged to the Kingdom of Estra will take the opportunity to cause trouble, and may even immediately launch a rebellion."

"In this way, the empire will inevitably fall into a war. At that time, we will not only lose a large area of ​​​​territory, but also lose the few people of the empire." After speaking, the chief minister sighed deeply, his eyes full of worry and uneasiness.

"They dare! ! Whoever dares to rebel, I will cut off his head! ! ! "Before Hood could speak, Nott, who was standing below, had already roared viciously like a ignited gunpowder barrel.

Compared with the emotional Nott, Hood was also extremely angry, but at least he had not completely lost his reason.

What the chief minister said just now was actually not without reason. After all, the numerous fiefdoms in the empire today were successfully captured after a bloody battle and a forced attack by the powerful imperial army.

Although the people in the fiefdoms of various regions do not seem to have shown obvious hostility to the empire on the surface, who can really see through the truest thoughts of these people in their hearts?

Perhaps many of them just had to choose to temporarily surrender under the deterrence of the powerful military force of the empire.

Thinking of this, Hod couldn't help but sigh deeply. The current ruling situation of the Holy Roman Empire seems stable, but in fact, as long as those subjects fail to be completely transformed into loyal subjects of the empire, the so-called stability is just an illusory appearance.

Because of this, the chief minister always urged Hod not to rashly send out the army to continue to expand the territory and wantonly expand the territory of the empire.

The top priority is to concentrate on finding ways to properly digest and absorb those subjects who originally belonged to the Kingdom of Estera, and through a series of effective means, thoroughly transform them into loyal subjects who are loyal to the Holy Roman Empire.

Only in this way can they have a stable base to provide soldiers and food supplies for the empire's army.
