Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Old Charlie Tavern.

Hod took off the mask on his head, exhaled a long breath, looked at the densely packed robbers in the hall, and whispered: "Go away, Kuhn, Jeff, take them back to rest, I will notify you if there is anything."

Kuhn, Jeff and other robbers nodded, then left the tavern and scattered.

Looking at Nott, Monkron and others who were the only ones left in the tavern, Hod walked to the bar, poured a glass of honey wine, and drank it all.

"Boss, why do you keep that gangster?" Nott saw Hod's relaxed expression, and immediately poured himself a glass of beer. After drinking it, he asked in confusion.

Monkron, Paul, and Jules also looked at Hod with doubts. They were also puzzled by Hod's keeping Gary's life and promising him to take charge of this underground area.

Hod looked at the four robbers who were extremely loyal to him, thought for a while, and slowly asked: "Nott, we have been in this world for half a month. What do you think we should do in the future?"

Nott answered without hesitation: "Boss, of course, we should strengthen ourselves and become the king!"

Hearing Nott's answer, Hod was not surprised at all. He shook his head and continued to ask: "Then how should we grow stronger?"

"Boss, this is needless to say, just rob the village and rob the caravan!" Nott said excitedly, with greed in his eyes.

"When the time comes, brothers will just find a few villages, kill all the villagers in them to gain experience, and rob all their livestock and property, hahaha." Nott laughed triumphantly, and the laughter echoed throughout the room, as if he had seen the future prosperity and wealth.

"Monkron, Paul, what do you think?" Hod turned his head and looked at the other three robbers, revealing a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Monkron hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickered, but finally nodded, indicating that he agreed with Nott's point of view.

He gritted his teeth and seemed to have made up his mind: "This is a good idea. This will quickly improve our strength and wealth."

Jules nodded directly.

However, Paul did not express his opinion immediately. He lowered his head, frowned, and pondered for a while.

Then, he slowly raised his head, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and expressed a different opinion from Nott.

"Boss, if we follow Nott's method, I think it won't be long before we will face the siege of all the lords in this land. We are not strong enough now to deal with the attacks of so many enemies."

Hearing this, Nott's eyes widened and stared at Paul in disbelief. The smile on his face disappeared instantly.

He clenched his fists tightly, glared at Paul, and shouted sternly: "What did you say? You dare to question my plan!"

"Nott!"

Hearing Paul's different opinions, Hood's expression was happy at first, but when he heard Nott's angry questioning, his face immediately became gloomy.

"Hmph, I want to see what good ideas you can come up with." Although stopped by Hood, Nott still looked unhappy.

"Paul, keep talking."

Hood ignored Nott on the side and turned his eyes to Paul, his eyes full of encouragement and expectation.

As if feeling Hood's encouragement, Paul took a deep breath and slowly said: "Boss, I can probably guess why you chose Gary, the gangster."

Hood looked at Paul with a gentler expression and asked softly: "Did you guess it?"

Paul nodded and continued: "Boss, you want to control this area through Gary, and then gradually expand your influence and eventually control the entire Rhine Town."

Hearing Paul's answer, Hood smiled more and more deeply: "Paul, I didn't expect that among so many people, only you guessed my idea."

Paul, who was praised, rarely showed a shy smile: "Boss, this is actually not difficult to guess."

Hood nodded with satisfaction and motioned Paul to continue.

Paul took a deep breath, put away his smile, and said seriously: "We currently have 40 robbers, but only Nott is a third-level soldier, and there are only ten second-level soldiers including me, Jules, Monkron and Kuhn. The rest of the robbers are first-level soldiers.

With such strength, it may be okay to deal with some ordinary robbers or robbers, but if we face the regular army under the lords, we may find it difficult to compete with them, and we may even be easily wiped out."

At this point, Paul glanced at Nott cautiously and found that he was angry, so he turned his head, carefully considered his words, and then said: "Well... maybe we still have the ability to fight the town guards."

Hearing thisHood's expression became more serious, and he motioned for Paul to continue.

Paul nodded and continued, "Boss, there are no less than 250 guards in Rhine Town alone. If there is a war, Rhine Town can easily recruit residents and form an army of more than 2,000 people and more auxiliary soldiers together with nearby villagers."

"Even if we can be promoted to a higher-level army by fighting and killing enemies, we are definitely not their opponents when facing enemies that are dozens of times stronger than us. After all, two fists can't beat four hands!"

Hearing this, Nott was still full of anger, but Monklon and Jules fell into deep thought, as if they had gained some inspiration from Paul's words.

Hood pursed his lips and motioned for Paul to continue.

Paul took a sip of beer, and after feeling his throat moisten slightly, he slowly spoke: "This is just Rhine Town. Although I don't know what the lords of this world are like, when I was on the mainland, any criminals who looted the village would be hostile and attacked by the major lords of their country.

Because the lords need to protect their territories and people and maintain their ruling status, and once we choose to loot the village caravan to strengthen our strength, I think it's not just Rhine Town, I'm afraid the lords of the entire kingdom will send troops to encircle us."

"Humph, the boss can recruit unlimited people, no matter how many lords there are, we are not afraid." Nott muttered unconvinced.

Hearing this, Paul was annoyed. He resisted the urge to curse, took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and then showed Nott a seemingly friendly smile and said, "I know, but have you ever thought that if you want to recruit people, you have to spend a lot of silver deer and bronze sheep.

And the wealth in the village is limited. Once we are targeted by the lords, we can't enter the town. Those lords will directly cut off our financial resources. At that time, even if the boss is capable, he can't get enough money to recruit more people.

Besides, do you think the number of soldiers the boss can lead is unlimited? There are only 50 people now! If we really fight with the army of those lords, once we die in the battle, the boss can only recruit first-level robbers! In this way, our strength will only become weaker and weaker, and the situation will become more and more dangerous! You idiot, can't you even see this?"

When he said the last sentence, Paul almost roared, obviously unable to tolerate Nott's stupidity.
