Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

At the west gate.

The sun was high in the sky, and Sam, wearing chain mail, was particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.

At this moment, he paced back and forth in front of the gate, looking towards the town from time to time, with an indescribable anxious look in his eyes.

"Brother Hod!" Sam suddenly stopped, his eyes locked on a figure in the distance, waving his hands while walking quickly into the corridor at the entrance of the city, with an anxious expression on his face.

"Captain Sam..." Hod also saw Sam, he quickened his pace and walked in front of Sam.

"How is it, did you find that person?" Sam tightly grasped Hod's arm, looked around, and asked in a low voice.

Hodder smiled, nodded, and said, "Well, I found him. He is now in the Old Charlie Tavern. I have arranged for my men to watch him."

Hearing this, Sam finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again and said worriedly, "This morning, Adam was called to the castle early in the morning. I guess Lord Conrad must have known about the fire in the trading market."

"If he knows, he will know. Didn't we discuss it yesterday? As long as Roy doesn't come back, no one will tell Lord Conrad about the real cause of the fire in the trading market."

Seeing that Sam was still nervous, Hodder said, "Don't worry, Lord Conrad won't know."

"Oh, I'm really uneasy..." Sam sighed.

"Captain Sam, Captain Hodder."

The two guards in front of the wooden house saluted immediately when they saw the two men coming.

Sam ignored his two subordinates and walked directly into the house. Hodder smiled and nodded to the two guards, and followed them into the house.

"Yesterday afternoon, not long after you and Adam left, the messenger of the Barnett Knights who went out to suppress the bandits came back. They are now stationed in a valley about thirty miles east of the town. It seems that they have discovered the bandits."

After saying that, Sam looked at Hod with an extremely serious expression: "Roy must be killed!"

"Don't worry, I know in my heart that we will set off later and will never let Roy come back alive." Hod nodded and said solemnly.

"Nott, you go back to the tavern immediately and tell Danny to set off now."

"Yes, boss."

Nott at the door responded, turned around and strode towards the town.

"Brother Hod, if this fails, Adam and I will have to take our families to live in other towns..."

Sam was silent for a while, sighed, and his tone was full of worry.

"No, Captain Sam."

Hodder stood up, walked to Sam and whispered to comfort him: "As long as we can kill Roy, we can avoid this trouble, and I believe we can do it."

He patted Sam's shoulder, looked at him firmly, and continued: "This operation is not only related to your and Adam's future, but also to the safety of me and my men, so I will do my best and we will succeed."

Sam nodded, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Well, you are right, we will succeed."

The two looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes. Then, they walked out of the room together and stood at the entrance of the corridor waiting for Nott, Danny and others to arrive.

"By the way, Brother Hodder, can you ride a horse?" Sam suddenly turned his head and asked.

Hearing this, Hodder suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Although he had lit up a lot of skills, his riding skills were still level 0.

Perhaps seeing the unnatural look on Hod's face, Sam opened his mouth in surprise: "Brother Hod, you..."

"Hehe... Hehe... That, I really don't know how to..." Hod smiled awkwardly, facing Sam's slightly shocked eyes and replied with a stiff face.

"Aren't you a mercenary? How can you not know how to ride a horse?" Sam asked in confusion.

However, before Hod could think of an excuse to answer, Sam's brows had already frowned: "If you can't ride a horse, then if you want to get to the valley as soon as possible, you can only take a carriage."

After saying that, Sam immediately shouted to the guard beside him: "Go, find a four-wheeled carriage."

The guard took the order and soon found a four-wheeled carriage with some supplies on it.

"When they arrive, you can take this carriage to go there." Sam said.

Hod glanced at the carriage and nodded.

While waiting for Nott, Danny and the others to arrive, Sam, who had nothing else to do, curiously asked Hod why he couldn't ride a horse.

Hod had no choice but to make up an excuse, saying that he had been kicked by a horse when he was a child, and since then he had developed a fear of riding a horse and never dared to learn again.Riding a horse.

Sam understood and patted Hod on the shoulder to comfort him: "You will learn it with practice. As a mercenary, if you can't ride a horse, you will be looked down upon."

Hod nodded quickly, but secretly thanked himself for not exposing his true situation. At the same time, he decided that if he wanted to upgrade in the future, he must first master the riding skill to avoid such an embarrassing situation.

"Head..."

As time passed, Nott, Danny and others also appeared in Hod's sight.

Sam strode directly to Danny, who was wearing a worn leather armor and a dagger on his waist. After taking a closer look, he nodded to Hod.

Hod also nodded in response solemnly, and then asked Nott and others to get on the carriage. Paul drove the carriage and left here soon.

"I hope everything goes well..."

Looking at the carriage in the distance, Sam prayed silently in his heart.

————

A carriage was galloping in the wilderness, raising dust in the air, as if to cover its whereabouts. The horse pulling the carriage was running vigorously, and the horse's hooves stepped heavily on the ground, splashing pieces of mud.

"Paul, stop at the grove ahead." Hood, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly said.

"Understood, boss." Paul, who was driving, responded, and then drove the carriage skillfully. When he arrived at the grove where Kuhn and the others were, he pulled the reins hard to make the carriage stop smoothly.

Since getting on the carriage, Danny has been keeping his head down, as if he didn't want people to see his expression.

When the carriage stopped, he raised his head, looked around, and then quickly lowered his head and buried his face between his legs.

"Paul, you and Julius wait for us here, Nott and I will go to the woods." Hood glanced at Danny, who was like an ostrich, then jumped off the carriage and walked towards the woods with Nott.

"Boss, are Kuhn and the others still here?" Nott asked as he walked, with a hint of joy on his face.

As the first batch of robbers recruited, he still had a deep relationship with Kuhn and Jeff. Although they had quarreled privately, he still hoped to see them again.

Hod was also a little uncertain. Before leaving last time, he specifically asked Kuhn and the others to hide in another place to prevent them from being surrounded and suppressed by the guards led by Barnett as bandits, and also to avoid being attacked by the bandit gang led by the wandering knight.

As soon as the two entered the forest, Nott shouted, calling the names of Kuhn and Jeff, but after a long time, there was still no response.

"Boss?" Nott's expression became a little confused.

"Let's go in and take a look." Hod frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

The two walked into the forest and looked around. Except for some household garbage left by Kuhn and the others, they found nothing.

"Boss, Kuhn and the others are not here..." Nott's voice was full of disappointment and worry.

Hod's face became gloomy. He looked at the surrounding environment silently, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

Did Kuhn and the others encounter any accidents? Or have they gone to other places?

He took a deep breath and tried to stay calm: "Don't worry, Nott, look for other clues."

After that, he began to open the team panel in his mind. After seeing that the number of soldiers displayed in front was still 20, he was slightly relieved.

"Boss, nothing was found." After searching around and finding no clues, Nott returned to Hod's side.

"Kun and the others are still alive. Maybe they changed their hiding place by themselves, but they didn't have time to notify us."

Hod'an comforted Nott, but he felt more and more uneasy in his heart.
