Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Chapter 170

The morning sun shone on the walls of the outer city, casting a faint golden glow on the entire outer city.

At this moment, Hod rode a mottled travel horse and walked out of the outer city slowly and unhurriedly.

At the same time, a group of warriors standing in a neat line outside the city had already been waiting for battle.

Looking around, one hundred spirited Vlandian recruits stood there with their heads held high, their eyes firm and looking forward, as if they didn't care about what was about to happen.

Six burly and fierce-looking robbers held the reins, exuding a chilling breath.

The ten experienced robber leaders looked calm and experienced. They stared silently ahead, with resoluteness in their eyes.

And the thirty elite robbers, each of them was agile and muscular, like a cheetah ready to go.

At the front of the team, a huge blood-red lion flag was fluttering in the wind.

Flag bearer Nott held the flagpole tightly and raised it high. When he saw Hod appear in his field of vision, everyone's eyes were focused on him and they all saluted.

The expressions of these warriors were different. Some were very excited because they were about to embark on the journey, and their faces were flushed with excitement.

Some had a calm and expressionless face, but the fire in their hearts was burning fiercely.

Others had a resolute face and a firm look as if they had no fear of the future war.

Hod pulled the reins and let the horse under his crotch stop steadily on the other side of the suspension bridge.

He turned his head and stared at Paul beside him, his eyes revealing trust: "Paul, the manor is in your hands!"

Paul felt the heavy trust from Hood, he straightened his back, nodded solemnly and seriously, and responded loudly: "Boss, please rest assured, even if I risk my life, I will definitely take care of our manor."

Hearing Paul's firm answer, a gratified smile appeared on Hood's face.

He nodded slightly, and then Hood slowly moved his eyes away from Paul and fell on the fully armed soldiers one by one.

Hood took a deep breath, then raised his right hand high and waved it forward vigorously.

Along with this action, he uttered a deafening roar: "Let's go!!!"

The robbers and the new recruits of Valandia moved at the order, took steady and powerful steps, turned around and left, and the six looters took the lead, rushing forward, raising a cloud of dust.

In the reception room of Kanerba Castle, the atmosphere was heavy and depressing.

Knights in iron armor and nobles in gorgeous cloaks gathered in groups of three or five, whispering to each other.

For a moment, the entire reception room seemed to have turned into a noisy market, with all kinds of sounds intertwined to form a noisy sound.

Time passed by minute by minute, and just when people gradually lost their patience, suddenly, a neat sound of footsteps broke the chaos.

A team of soldiers wearing mail robes and iron helmets walked into the reception room at a fast pace.

They moved quickly and occupied every corner of the reception room in the blink of an eye. These soldiers, each holding a short spear and carrying a kite-shaped shield, stood firmly in place like a sculpture.

Then, under the close protection of several fully armed knights, Marquis Angara slowly walked into the reception room.

As soon as he appeared, the originally noisy reception room became silent as if it was under a spell.

Everyone present stopped talking at the same time, looked at the distinguished Marquis, bowed their heads, and saluted respectfully to express their respect for him.

Marquis Angarna smiled and slowly swept his eyes over the people present.

Then, he walked slowly to the bench in front with the elk flag hanging, sat down calmly, and then waved his hand gently, signaling everyone to stand up.

After everyone stood up straight, he cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, I just got the news that King Ralph has already set off from Rekel City. At the same time, the king also sent a messenger to give us an urgent order, requiring us to set off immediately and assemble in Milda Castle."

After speaking, Marquis Angana turned and left with an expressionless face. His figure gradually walked away under the close protection of a group of knights.

With the departure of Marquis Angana, the reception room, which had just been quiet for a while, suddenly exploded like a pot, and all kinds of noises came one after another.

At the same time, Marquis Angana had arrived at the door of the study on the second floor.He gently pushed the door open, and saw that Hod had been waiting here respectfully for a long time.

Seeing Marquis Angana come in, Hod hurriedly bowed his head to show respect.

"Mr. Marquis..." Hod's voice was low and full of humility.

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted mercilessly by Marquis Angana.

"One hundred and fifty people... You are more powerful than ordinary barons, Knight Hod."

As Marquis Angana spoke, he strode to the desk and sat down.

He stared at Hod, who seemed to be respectful, and his tone revealed a hint of elusive meaning.

Hearing Marquis Angana say this, Hod was slightly stunned at first, but soon reacted.

He slowly raised his head, straightened his body, and showed a serious look on his face. He said solemnly: "Mr. Marquis, this is my duty. As a knight under Mr. Vito, I will do my best to serve you!"

"Hehe..."

A sneer slowly overflowed from the tightly closed thin lips of Marquis Angarna, like a cold wind passing through the air, chilling people.

His turbid eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the serious Hood in front of him, and a hint of murderous intent flashed through his eyes, so fast that it was almost imperceptible.

"Since you have so many people under your command, I have a task for you."

"In order to ensure the safety of the large army, you and your people should go ahead and eliminate all the criminals along the way to clear a safe marching route for the large army."

After that, Marquis Angana stopped talking and just stared at Hood quietly, as if he wanted to see through his slightly young face and see through his true thoughts deep in his heart.

As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more solemn.

However, at this moment, Hood suddenly straightened up, raised his head, and looked at Marquis Angana firmly, with an extremely solemn and serious expression on his face.

"Please rest assured, Marquis, I will definitely complete the task assigned by you seriously!"

Hood responded loudly, his voice as loud as a bell, resounding throughout the study.
