Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Under the cover of night, the Old Charlie Tavern became quiet.

After Adam and Sam led their men away, Paul and Nott directed the robbers to clean up the messy hall.

There were food scraps everywhere on the ground, and drinks were flowing on the table. All of this made the robbers resent the four guards.

And Hood had already returned to the room on the second floor. Since the Old Charlie was dealt with, the Old Charlie Tavern was basically no longer open to the public. The rooms on the second floor were occupied by Nott, Monklon and others, and they became the robbers' nest.

Lying on the bed, Hood gently rubbed his swollen head and gradually fell asleep.

[Ding... The novice protection period has expired, and the version is being updated...]

[Ding... A bug has been detected... Downloading patches...]

[Ding... Patch loading... Loading completed]

[Ding... Compensation packages have been issued]

The continuous sounds echoed in Hood's mind, but he just moved his eyelids and fell asleep again.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Hood woke up from his sleep, stretched himself, got out of bed, asked a robber to get him some water, and started to wash.

In the lobby on the first floor of the tavern, the sun shone through the window onto the wooden floor, forming a series of light and shadows. The air was filled with the faint aroma of wheat and meat, making people salivate.

Paul had gotten up at some point, wearing the cotton robe he wore when he was promoted, looking a little tired. He walked out of the kitchen carefully with a bowl of steaming wheat porridge in his hand.

"Boss, are you awake?" Paul saw Hood coming down from the second floor, with a hint of surprise on his face, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Well, why did you get up so early?" Hood rubbed his eyes, looked at Paul in front of him, and asked in confusion.

Paul smiled and explained, "It was my turn to be on duty yesterday, so I didn't have time to sleep."

After that, he gently put the wheat porridge on the dining table, and then turned to get the tableware.

"Boss, try it. This is the wheat porridge I just cooked. I added some sausages to it. It should taste good." Paul handed a wooden soup spoon to Hood, his eyes full of expectation.

Hood took the spoon, scooped a spoonful into his mouth, and tasted it carefully.

"Well, it tastes great!" Hood praised, "Your cooking skills are much better than Nott's."

Hearing Hood's praise, Paul's face suddenly showed a proud smile.

"Of course, I'm a master of cooking." Paul said confidently, and at the same time cursed in his heart, that stupid big guy is not as good as me except for fighting.

Hood smiled slightly, secretly glad that he had embodied such a capable robber.

However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered the system prompt sound in his mind last night, and couldn't help frowning.

What exactly triggered this system prompt sound? Hood was full of questions.

While eating the stomach-warming wheat porridge, he opened the system and checked yesterday's information.

Novice protection period?

After seeing the first message, Hood was stunned. He had never seen the novice protection period when he played games in his previous life.

Then he looked at the second system message, but this message made Hood even more puzzled.

Bug?

Since he crossed over, he had never seen any bugs in the system.

After a careful inspection, he found that the so-called bug in the system meant that he could materialize the robbers recruited from the system to any location within his sight, and the robbers could also use other weapons and equipment. This item was also prohibited.

"But what about this novice protection period?" Hood couldn't help but be curious.

He began to carefully study the relevant instructions in the system, trying to understand the meaning and role of this novice protection period.

As time went on, Hood gradually understood some things. It turned out that the novice protection period was a buffer period given by the system to the host, aiming to help the host adapt to the world and develop his own power.

During this period, the system will provide certain protection and support, and will also add some bug functions to the release.

However, once the novice protection period is over, all support provided by the system will be completely withdrawn, and the host will have to rely on himself to develop.

"So that's how it is. It seems that I need to re-plan my strategy." Hod thought to himself.

Apart from other things, the fact that he can materialize the robbers anywhere within his sight is of great help to Hod, and can even be said to be his most powerful trump card.

However, now he has lost this trump card that can turn the tide.

Hod sighed helplessly, thinking that he might have to be more cautious and low-key in the future.

However, when he saw the fourth systemWhen he saw the message, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

"Compensation package?"

This news cheered up the originally depressed Hod, and his eyes became brighter.

He opened the system backpack without hesitation. At this time, in addition to the many weapons and equipment in the backpack, a wooden box appeared in the first slot of the backpack.

[Compensation package]

[Open it? ]

"Yes!"

If not now, when? Hod made the decision without hesitation.

As his mind moved, the wooden box originally in the backpack disappeared instantly, but at the same time, there was a heavy armor, a helmet and a straight blade sword in the backpack, in addition to a military card.

[Closed-eye decorative eye socket helmet]

[High-quality heavy scale armor lined chain armor]

[Excellent straight blade sword]

[Second-level military card]

Looking at the items in the wooden box, Hod couldn't help but take a breath. This was not because the quality of the items was poor, on the contrary, it was because these items were too outstanding that he was so shocked.

You know, if he remembered correctly, both the helmet and the heavy armor were top-level equipment in the game "Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord", and their defense was terrifying.

And the straight-bladed sword was also one of the top weapons in "Mount & Blade: Warband", and its damage value was off the charts.

As for the second-level soldier card, there was no need to say more. As of now, there were only 19 second-level soldiers in Hod's team.

"Oh my goodness!"

Hod was so excited that he almost jumped up. He looked at the items in his backpack with shining eyes. These were all treasures!

"I'm rich now!"

He was so excited that he danced with joy and wanted to hug the system and give it a big kiss.

"System dad, I love you!"

Hod's face was filled with excitement and joy. He completely forgot that he was eating at this time. He couldn't wait to stand up and drag all the weapons and equipment into the personal weapons and equipment page.

However, at this moment, the prompt sound from the system was like a bucket of cold water poured on his head.
