Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

The second floor of the main fort.

Taking advantage of the fact that the robbers did not attack at this time, everyone collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, recovering the physical strength consumed by the rapid battle.

Barnett took off his helmet and put it aside, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the guards and escorts.

When he saw Captain Dick grinning against the wall, Barnett suddenly smiled and asked, "Dick, are you injured?"

Hearing Barnett's question, Dick raised his head and said embarrassedly, "The fight was too intense just now, and I was hit on the shoulder by the axe without paying attention."

"Can you continue to fight?" Barnett stood up and walked to Dick's side and sat casually, and asked softly.

Dick was silent for a while, and then nodded firmly: "Yes, sir!"

"Not bad..."

Barnett patted Dick's thigh lightly and praised.

"But... sir, can we win?"

Dick lowered his head again, speaking in a low tone.

As Dick asked this question, the guards and escorts who were still recovering their strength turned their heads to look at Barnett.

Barnett sighed slightly and comforted: "I don't know, but we can only do our best. If we can't defeat these robbers, then we will be the ones to die in the end."

Everyone fell silent after hearing this.

"Lord Barnett, what do you think these people are?" Suddenly, a middle-aged guard asked, his eyes revealing confusion and bewilderment.

His voice broke the silence, and everyone turned their eyes back to him. The guard was burly, and his face was originally serious, but now full of doubts.

Since he started working as a guard, he has never seen such a fierce enemy. Although the enemy has suffered countless casualties and has been beaten back several times in a row by them, he is still trying to attack.

Barnett shook his head and said in a heavy tone: "I don't know either."

His brows were furrowed, and his heart was also full of doubts. The sudden appearance and inexplicable attack made him a little confused.

At this moment, a thick smoke suddenly drifted slowly from the staircase to the corridor, and this scene immediately caused everyone to be nervous.

"Ahem..."

The guards closest to the staircase covered their mouths and noses, coughing one after another. They quickly stood up and stepped back, trying to avoid the choking smoke.

"Damn it, they actually used this method!"

Barnett's attention was instantly attracted by the thick smoke. His face became gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and cursed at the increasingly thick smoke.

He knew that this thick smoke would not only affect vision, but also cause harm to people's breathing. If they did not take timely measures, they would be in extreme danger.

As the smoke gradually spread, the entire corridor began to become blurred and visibility dropped sharply. People's breathing became difficult, and coughs continued to come.

Barnett held the weapon in his hand tightly, cursing those hateful enemies in his heart.

He knew that this battle was becoming more and more difficult, and they had to find a solution to the problem as soon as possible.

"Everyone, get out of here and follow me."

Barnett resisted the discomfort in his throat and shouted loudly, guiding the people in the thick fog.

He quickly ran to the only room at the end of the second floor, kicked the door open, and stood at the door and shouted to the people in the corridor, ignoring the frightened big businessman Henry in the room.

"Quick, here, come here."

The people who couldn't find the direction in the thick smoke heard the voice and immediately quickened their pace.

After everyone entered the room, Barnett immediately closed the door and ordered everyone to bring the bedding on the bed to block the corners of the door to prevent the smoke from seeping in.

"Cough cough..."

"Cough cough..."

Until everyone worked together to block the corners of the door tightly, they walked to the window and took a deep breath.

"Lord Barnett!"

Suddenly, a guard looked down, but it was this glance that made him see Hood standing in the crowd.

"What's wrong?" Barnett looked at the guard in confusion.

The guard turned around and said with an extremely serious expression: "I saw the mercenary who killed the bandit leader!"

Upon hearing this news, Barnett's face instantly became solemn. He hurried to the window and looked down through the window.

Sure enough, below the main castle, Hood was standing under the protection of a group of robbers.

As if he felt someone was watching him, Hood suddenly raised his head and looked straight at the window on the second floor.

"It turned out to be him!" Barnett frowned tightly, his heart full of doubts.

"Lord Barnett, what should we do now?" A guard said.asked nervously.

Barnett looked back at the worried people in the room, and was silent for a while. When he was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from downstairs...

"Everyone upstairs, put down your weapons and surrender! You have been surrounded and can't escape. It is wise to come out and surrender."

A voice came from outside and echoed throughout the building.

Then, another low voice sounded: "Moreover, we only want Barnett's life. If you can throw Barnett's head down to us, we can guarantee your safety. Of course, the premise is that you must hand over Barnett's head."

As these two sentences sounded, the expressions of everyone in the room on the second floor changed, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

Some people looked at Barnett quietly, with complex light flashing in their eyes, some began to look at other people around them, as if they were thinking about something, and some showed a moving expression, as if they were moved by these two proposals.

Barnett's face suddenly became extremely gloomy. He obviously noticed the inner vacillation and changes of the crowd.

He knew that except Dick, the others, whether guards or escorts, were acting for their own interests. If they had a chance to save their lives, they would probably stab him in the back without hesitation.

So he hurriedly said loudly: "Everyone, can you easily believe what a group of unidentified people say? They just want us to fight among ourselves. Who can guarantee that they are not lying?"

However, at this moment, a crying voice suddenly came: "I don't want to die! What if what they said is true... I still have family to take care of, I can't die like this."

Everyone turned their heads and saw that the big businessman Henry was full of tears, his body trembling slightly, and he looked extremely desperate.

With Henry's words, not only the escorts, but even the guards showed hesitation.

They knew that if they continued to fight, the only result would be that the unidentified people below would be killed one by one, but if they listened to the advice of those people below, there might be a glimmer of hope.

"Henry..."

Barnett was furious and shouted, "You are shaking the morale of the army. I will kill you now."

Looking at Barnett's ferocious appearance, Henry was frightened and retreated repeatedly, but his eyes flashed with determination and viciousness.

He knew that there was no other choice at this moment. He would die anyway, so why not take a gamble.

"Barnett, you idiot, do you want everyone to be buried with you? Only by killing Barnett can we have a chance to survive." Henry suddenly shouted loudly, his voice full of temptation.

After that, Henry shouted to the guards and guards on the side: "I will give you another gold royal each, kill him!"
