Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

"We can't just sit back and watch the Kingdom Army's continued offensive! Eli, you will be stationed in Rhine Town and be responsible for handling all internal affairs of the Empire."

"Since we can't mobilize the lords of the Empire to come to support, then this time, I can only lead the army to the border to resist the invasion of the Kingdom Army." After a brief thought, Hood finally made a decision and spoke.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Minister of Finance on the side walked forward with a panicked face and eagerly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, you are the pillar of our Shinra Empire. How can you lead the army alone to the border to resist the invasion of the Kingdom Army? ? This is too dangerous! "

After speaking, the emotional finance minister suddenly turned his head and glared at the chief minister Eli and the military minister Dean standing beside him, and cursed mercilessly: "Eli, and Dean, you two useless things!"

"His Majesty has entrusted you with important tasks from the Calradia continent, but you are so good that not only do you not try to solve problems for His Majesty, but also prevent His Majesty from summoning the lords of the empire to fight the enemy together. What do you want to do! ! ! "

Faced with the rebuke and scolding of the finance minister, the chief minister Eli and the military minister Dean could not help but show bitterness on their faces.

The two looked at each other helplessly, their hearts were full of unspeakable helplessness, and the military minister was even more aggrieved.

It's not me who advised His Majesty not to summon the empire lords, why scold me and bring me along.

"Okay, Minister Levi, what Minister Eli said makes sense. If we really summon all the lords in the empire, our newly established empire may really face the danger of destruction!"

Hode saw that the two ministers were scolded by the Minister of Finance and were red in the face and full of shame. He couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly spoke to dissuade the Minister of Finance.

"Your Majesty..."

The Minister of Finance Levi was so angry that he stamped his feet and continued to mutter. He wanted to persuade him again, but he was interrupted by Hode before he could say anything.

"No need to say, I have decided. This time, I will personally lead the army to the border, and as for you, you will stay in Rhine Town." Hode looked at the three ministers in front of him with a firm gaze and said solemnly.

Then, he emphasized with a stronger tone: "The empire is in your hands!"

Hearing this, the Chief Minister and the Minister of Military Affairs both bowed their heads and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will definitely protect the empire!" Their voices were sonorous and powerful.

However, the Minister of Finance sighed helplessly, and then said slowly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will assist Minister Eli to take care of all the affairs of the empire."

Seeing that the three ministers in front of him had all agreed, the slight hesitation in Hood's heart instantly disappeared.

He suddenly raised his head, stared at Nott with a sharp gaze, and quickly issued a series of orders: "Nott! Pass my order to Monklon, Orville and Alder, and order them to assemble the army immediately and prepare for the expedition!"

After a slight pause, Hood added: "In addition, send someone to inform Batu and Ashlan that this operation will be led by their shock cavalry and ranger troops!"

After receiving the order, Nott immediately responded loudly: "Yes, boss!"

Before he finished speaking, he quickly turned around and left, disappearing in the lord's hall in the blink of an eye.

After Nott left, Hood turned his sight to the Minister of Finance Levi standing beside him, and said solemnly: "Minister Levi, the food and military supplies needed for this army's expedition are extremely important, and they must be prepared as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, the Minister of Finance Levi did not dare to be negligent at all, and nodded and agreed: "Please rest assured, sir, I will go to the warehouse to mobilize military supplies!"

After speaking, he was seen trotting out of the hall and hurriedly ran towards the warehouse where military supplies were stored in the town.

The order was issued in the morning, and the team left Rhine Town in the afternoon.

Fortunately, the army led by Hood did not come from this world, but was materialized by him through the system.

Because of this, when the order was issued, these disciplined soldiers completed the assembly at an astonishing speed.

At the same time, the food and supplies needed for the deployment were quickly pulled out of the warehouse by carts.

The distance between Rhine Town and Ende Village is not very close. Even if all the personnel travel day and night and ride in carriages, it will take at least a Sunday to reach the destination.

However, the situation is urgent. In order to prevent the Kingdom Army from further penetrating into its own territory, Hood has no choice.He could only order the entire team to move forward at full speed.

Not only that, he also sent Batu to lead the rangers to the border area to investigate the latest developments and deployment of the enemy.

Compared with the Valandian soldiers riding carriages, the rangers riding war horses and two other spare mounts obviously have a faster movement speed.

They disappeared from Hod's sight at Batu's shouting and galloped towards the border of the empire.

Looking at Batu and other rangers who disappeared, Hod opened the team panel on horseback.

Compared with a month ago, his current team panel looks more concise.

Team: 400/400

4 robber leaders (fifth-tier troops)

6 bandit leaders (fifth-tier troops)

30 Vlandian chivalrous cavalry (third-tier troops)

50 Vlandian crossbowmen (fourth-tier troops)

150 Vlandian crossbowmen (third-tier troops)

80 Vlandian spearmen (third-tier troops)

80 Vlandian infantrymen (third-tier troops)

The lowest strength of all members is at the third-tier level, which means that the entire team has a very strong combat effectiveness.

Once the opportunity is found to form a battle array, even if it encounters an enemy force that is several times larger than its own, Hod is confident that he can lead everyone to the final victory.

It should be noted that there is an essential difference between these Vlandian soldiers who emerged from the mysterious system and the soldiers born and raised in this world.

Although they have now transformed from pure data into real, living human individuals, they still retain the astonishing unique attributes from the game.

If an ordinary army suffers 20% casualties during a battle, it will often cause panic and chaos throughout the army, leading to the complete collapse of the entire front.

Even for more elite troops, the proportion of casualties they can withstand may be slightly higher, about 30% to 40%.

But what about these materialized Vlandia soldiers?

They can withstand a casualty ratio of up to 90%, and will not fall into a state of collapse and disintegration, at most they will only experience a decline in morale.

In this case, Hood doesn't think there is any army in this world that can go head-to-head with his army.
