Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

After paying the mercenaries, the big businessman Henry disbanded the mercenary team he recruited, and the mercenaries and bounty hunters who received the rewards also left the wooden fort.

On the road to Rhine Town, Hood and his party drove the carriage slowly forward.

Hood, Nott, Kuhn, and Jeff sat on the carriage and talked in a low voice.

"Boss, do you mean that we really want to be mercenaries?" Nott asked with his eyes wide open, his voice full of surprise and confusion, as if he was very surprised by this decision.

Hood nodded slightly to show affirmation, and then explained: "Yes, we have so many people now, and it costs a lot of money to eat, drink and stay every day, so we must find a suitable job to earn some money."

When saying this, Hood's tone was firm and decisive, as if he had thought about this issue carefully.

Then, Hod took a deep breath and continued, "After my thinking, I think mercenaries are more suitable for us than bounty hunters wandering around in the wild."

There was a kind of confidence in his eyes, as if he had a good reason for his choice.

Hearing this, Nott frowned, his face full of curiosity, and asked in confusion: "Why?"

Facing the puzzled eyes of Nott, Kuhn and others, Hod took a deep breath again and said slowly: "Although bounty hunters can bring you more experience points, they are more dangerous than mercenaries."

Then, Hod continued: "Moreover, the reward of bounty hunters depends entirely on how many outlaws they can kill in the wild, and the income is unstable."

A trace of worry appeared in Hod's eyes, and he was obviously worried about this uncertainty.

Finally, Hod glanced at the people in the car and emphasized: "Mercenaries are different. They are not only safer, but also paid as well as bounty hunters. Most importantly, bounty hunters must be equipped with a horse each, and our current funds are not enough to meet this demand."

After saying that, he sighed helplessly.

Counting the 8 silver deer Henry gave them, Hod's backpack had a total balance of about 6 gold dragons.

According to the prices quoted by the mule and horse vendors in the Rhine Town Market, a top-quality war horse requires 40 silver deer, or 4 gold dragons to buy, and even the worst pack horse requires 3 silver deer, and a slightly stronger travel horse requires at least 6.7 silver deer.

This price is simply not something Hod can afford now.

In addition, the price of mules and donkeys is not cheap. Even if Hod doesn't care about face and equips all the robbers with one, he still doesn't have enough money.

"When I get back to town, I will find out if there are any caravans that need to hire mercenaries, and then we will act together." Hod said.

"Can we fight together again?" Kuhn and Jeff's eyes lit up, and they were eager to fight.

"Kun, Jeff, don't hold us back when the time comes..." Although Nott was looking forward to fighting with Kuhn and others, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Humph, although we are still first-level soldiers, our combat effectiveness is not necessarily lower than yours..." Kuhn snorted, unconvinced.

"Oh, really? I don't know who took the initiative to deliver himself to the door and was captured by a group of robbers..." Nott laughed.

"Nott!"

Hearing this, Hood glared at Nott fiercely.

This provocative guy really doesn't understand the ways of the world.

Just when Hood was about to scold Nott, several fallen trees suddenly appeared on the road ahead, blocking the way of the group.

"Boss, there are fallen trees ahead..."

Paul, who was driving the car, stopped the horse and turned his head to say something.

Hod stood up and looked from a distance. He narrowed his eyes instinctively and found something wrong.

Although there were trees on both sides of the road, they were still some distance away from the road. Even if these big trees fell, they would not fall on the road.

"Everyone, be careful!" Hod raised his hand to signal. Suddenly, the robbers tightened their weapons and stared at the surroundings vigilantly.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Hod felt a little uneasy. It was too quiet. The birds and animals in the nearby woods had completely disappeared.

This situation was too abnormal, so he had to be vigilant. Hod took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and thought about possible response strategies.

The robbers scattered on both sides of the carriage, holding weapons, scanning everything around, looking for possible enemies.

"Boss? What's wrong?"

Nott and his men immediately guarded Hod with swords and shields, staring at the surroundings vigilantly.

"Something is wrong. It's too quiet around..." HodHood put his right hand on the short sword and whispered.

"Swoosh..."

"Swoosh..."

Suddenly, a burst of air-breaking sound came from the woods on both sides, and then several arrows suddenly flew towards Hood and his men at high speed.

"Be careful!" Hood roared, and immediately shrank his body and hid under the shield.

"Duoduo..."

Two or three arrows flying towards Hood were blocked by the round shields of Nott and his four men, but the other robbers had no defensive equipment.

"Ah..."

A cry of pain sounded beside him, and Hood turned his head to see that a robber was shot in the chest by an arrow and fell to the ground. This scene made Hood instantly show an angry face.

"Who are you! Come out if you dare!" Hood's roar resounded through the woods on both sides.

"Hahaha, it turned out to be Hood and his men..."

As this voice sounded, footsteps were heard in the woods on both sides, and the next moment more than 20 figures holding bows, arrows, knives and axes appeared around.

When he saw these people appear, Huo De's eyes narrowed.

He had seen these people before, and it was not long ago. Yes, the people who blocked Huo De's way were the mercenaries who had surrounded the robbers together before.

"What do you want to do?" Huo De looked at them, with a trace of vigilance and anger in his eyes.

"Hey, we just want to say hello to you." One of the mercenaries said with a smile, but his eyes were full of ill intentions.

"Say hello? Is there such a way to say hello?" Huo De pointed at the dead robber on the ground and asked coldly.

"Oh, sorry, maybe our archery skills are not good enough, and we accidentally hurt your people. However, you should also know that we all live to make money." The mercenary said, with a trace of greed in his eyes.

"What do you mean?" Huo De frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

"It's very simple, hand over all the silver deer and bronze sheep, as well as weapons and equipment on you." The mercenary said proudly.

"You want to rob us?" Hod looked at the other side, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Haha, robbery? You are right, it is robbery! Now, you only have two choices, either hand over your property or die here." The mercenary threatened.

"You are looking for death!" Hod said angrily.

"Looking for death? Hahaha, only you will die!"

The leading mercenary laughed loudly, then looked at Hod and his men with a vicious expression: "Don't think about leaving here without leaving your property!"

As soon as the voice fell, the mercenaries around him approached Hod and his men with weapons...

Since you are looking for death, I will send you to die.

Hod drew out his dagger, his expression ferocious.
