Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Chapter 185

The reason why these Kuyel people invaded the east was ultimately due to food shortages!

The grasslands where they originally lived suffered from a white disaster, the pastures were covered with snow, and the livestock died one by one in hunger. Ordinary herdsmen could only live a hard life with an empty stomach every day.

In order to survive, they had to pick up the horn bows, swords and arrows, and spears left by their ancestors, lead their horses, and follow the leaders of the tribe on this road to invade the east.

At this moment, looking at the three captives in front of him, he only thought that these Kuyel people were fierce and brave. Now, after a careful look, Hod found that except for the captive in studded leather armor whose head had been chopped off by Nott, the eyes of these three captives have always revealed deep fatigue and hunger.

Obviously, these herdsmen at the bottom have not eaten enough for a long time, and even basic food may be difficult to guarantee.

Standing aside, Hod stared at the three people and thought for a moment in his heart.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned around and walked to the cart, picked up a bowl of steaming hot broth, and then slowly walked towards the three captives.

When Hood came to them, he first squatted down gently, and then placed the broth in his hand steadily on the ground.

When the three captives saw the broth so close, they were stunned for a moment, as if they couldn't believe their eyes.

After they came to their senses, they immediately rushed to the bowl of broth, whimpering eagerly, wishing to drink a mouthful of hot soup immediately.

However, because their hands were tightly bound, they lost their balance and fell to the ground as soon as they moved.

But even so, they still refused to give up, and used all their strength to desperately crawl towards the direction of the broth. They looked extremely embarrassed, but it can also be seen how hungry they are.

Seeing this, Hood stepped forward quickly, roughly pulled up one of the captives, and then picked up the bowl of broth again and put it to the captive's mouth.

In an instant, a "gurgling" swallowing sound was heard, and in the blink of an eye, the whole bowl of broth was drunk up by the captive without a drop left.

However, surprisingly, despite this, the desire for food revealed on his thin face did not diminish at all.

Seeing this scene, Hood's face did not show any anger. Instead, he calmly picked up a large piece of fragrant horse meat from the cart, personally handed it to the captive's mouth, and motioned him to open his mouth and eat it.

At the same time, Hood turned around and gave orders to Kuhn, asking him to get some more food.

Although Kuhn had doubts in his heart and didn't understand why Hod wanted to feed the Kuyel people who were captives, he knew Hod's style of doing things, so he turned around and left quickly.

Soon, the first captive was fed by Hod, and then Hod did the same thing, pulling up the second captive and patiently feeding him hot soup and meat, and then the third.

When the three captives were full and stood on one side, they looked at each other, their eyes full of doubts and confusion.

However, compared with before, the hostility in their eyes looking at Hod had obviously decreased a lot.

At this moment, Huo De suddenly turned his eyes to Lao Luoli who was still drinking the broth, and called out: "Lao Luoli, come here!"

Hearing Huo De's call, Lao Luoli did not dare to neglect it, and hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand, took two steps at a time and walked quickly to Huo De, and said respectfully: "Sir."

Hu De nodded slightly, smiled and said to Lao Luoli: "Next, I will say a word, and you will translate it to them verbatim."

Although Lao Luoli was full of questions, he still nodded quickly and said: "Yes, sir."

Then, Huo De looked at the three captives with a kind smile, and asked in a gentle tone: "Are you full now?"

Lao Luoli was stunned, but soon came back to his senses and translated simultaneously.

The three captives listened to Lao Luoli's translation, looked at each other, and then nodded.

"Have you been hungry for a long time?" Huo De asked softly, with concern and pity in his voice.

This sentence seemed to remind them of something, and the faces of the three Kuyel people instantly showed a trace of sadness.

Under the long gaze of Hod's gentle eyes, they nodded gently, admitting that they had indeed been hungry for a long time.

Hod smiled slightly and then said: "Do you want to have meat every day and be full every meal in the future?"

Hearing this, the old Rory on the side suddenly felt nervous, as if he realized something.What.

He turned his head suddenly and stared at Hood closely, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Why are you looking at me! Why don't you translate my words to them!" Seeing this, Hood frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Old Rory came back to his senses after being scolded by Hood.

He turned his head in a daze, and in a trance, he translated Hood's words to the three captives in front of him again.

After listening to Old Rory's translation, the three Kuyel captives looked at each other, and all of them showed hesitation on their faces, obviously guessing Hood's plan.

But after a brief thought, they looked at each other, and finally nodded slowly again, indicating their willingness.

At this time, Hood said again: "I admire your bravery and fearlessness very much. In my opinion, you are all true warriors. Warriors may die bravely on the battlefield, but they should never suffer from hunger."

"If you are willing to choose to be loyal to me and work for me, then I will promise you that you can not only say goodbye to the days of hunger from now on, but also get better weapons and equipment!

"By then, you will no longer have to wear that tattered, leaky fur coat, hold the rusty, long-durated scimitar in your hand, and fight the enemy like a beggar."

"A true warrior should be equipped with the sharpest weapon, ride the strongest horse, and charge into battle on the battlefield!"

"Let those who dare to be our enemy tremble and cry under your iron hoof! "

At this point, Hod suddenly raised his strong and powerful right arm and roared.

The three captives listened to Old Rory's retelling, their eyes fixed on Hod who was performing passionately in front of them.

With Hod's passionate and powerful movements, and the magnificent battle scenes he described, the three seemed to witness their future selves riding horses, holding scimitars in their hands, and slashing enemies off their horses.

Gradually, their originally dull eyes began to glow with a fiery light, their faces turned red, and their expressions changed from numbness to excitement.

Hod, who had been paying close attention to the reactions of the three captives, keenly captured their emotional changes, and was delighted, knowing that this was the perfect time to strike while the iron was hot.

He suddenly waved his right arm, like a general commanding thousands of troops, and shouted in a loud voice: "Be loyal to me! Follow my footsteps, and I will lead you to conquer the world! Let the whole world tremble under our hooves!!!"

Although the three captives could not fully understand every word in Hod's language, just looking at his bold and unrestrained gestures and the confident expression on his face was enough to make their hearts surge and their blood boil.

Almost at the same moment, the three Kuyel captives exchanged glances with each other, and then without any hesitation, they knelt on their knees and bowed their heads deeply...

It was done...

Hod caught a glimpse of this scene with his eyes and his mouth curled slightly.
