Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Chapter 178

Looking at the two elite robbers lying in the pool of blood, the anger could not be restrained from gushing out from the bottom of Hood's heart.

More than a month has passed since he left Kanerba Castle. During this journey, none of his subordinates have been killed.

However, at this moment, two elite robbers died tragically in front of him. How could Hood accept this reality calmly?

Just as Hood was swallowed by endless anger, Nott on the side shouted: "Boss! It's in the main castle in the village!"

Hearing this, Hood suddenly came back to his senses. His eyes full of anger stared at the direction of the main castle in the village through the narrow gap between the shields.

As expected, in the main castle that had not completely collapsed, which was only a few dozen meters away from here, three figures holding bows and arrows suddenly appeared.

In an instant, Horde's roar resounded through the sky: "Kill these bastards!!!"

Accompanied by his roar, the robbers who had long been unable to suppress their murderous intent responded in unison, raised their shields without hesitation, and rushed towards the main castle like a surging torrent.

At the same time, Orville also decisively issued an order, ordering all the crossbowmen of Vlandia to launch suppressive shooting.

Thirty well-trained crossbowmen acted quickly, they raised their light and deadly crossbows high in their hands, aimed at the direction of the main castle, and pulled the trigger mercilessly.

For a while, the sound of bowstrings trembling came one after another, and dense arrows like rain cut through the sky, rushing straight to the main castle with a sharp wind sound.

Seeing this situation, the three figures in the main castle changed their faces, dodged to one side, and quickly hid in a safe place.

"Duoduoduo..."

There was a burst of dense and rapid sounds, and more than a dozen sharp crossbow arrows shot in from all directions. These crossbow arrows, with powerful impact, instantly hit the stone, making a crisp sound.

At the same time, the robbers also seized the opportunity, took big steps and ran wildly, rushing towards the main castle.

They waved all kinds of weapons in their hands with murderous intent, and in the blink of an eye, they had successfully rushed into the main castle.

In an instant, roars and shouts came from inside the main castle.

However, at this time, several clouds of dust suddenly rose from the northwest, and the dust continued to expand and spread.

Then, bursts of shouting and screaming like the roar of wild beasts came from the rolling dust.

Two or three minutes later, dozens of figures gradually became clear in the diffuse dust.

These people wore worn-out fur coats and sheepskin short coats, rode fast-moving grassland horses, and rushed straight towards Hod with fierce looks on their faces, holding short bows, scimitars and short spears.

"Kuyel people!"

Hod stood up straight, staring at the front.

When he was fighting against criminals before, Hod had transported a lot of spoils to sell to the caravans following the large team behind him. During his leisure time conversations with them, he learned a lot about the Kuyel people.

Wearing fur coats, holding scimitars, and having braids are the most obvious characteristics of the Kuyel people.

Seeing the Kuyel people rushing over, the robber leaders such as Kuhn and Monklon on the side showed anxiety on their faces, and hurriedly reached out to grab Hod, wanting to withdraw him into the village for safety.

Hod threw him away and said angrily: "There are only twenty or so people on the other side, why are you afraid of them! Get out of the way..."

"Boss, I'll kill them." Nott agreed in a twisted voice.

"Nott!!!, Boss, the other side is full of cavalry, and the brothers have all gone to the main castle to capture people. We can't rely on these Vlandians alone."

Monkron glared at Nott fiercely, and then lamented repeatedly, but seeing that Hod was determined, he didn't say anything more, and had to hold the iron-covered round shield with other robber leaders to cover the arrows.

And Nott curled his lips, and directly took several robber leaders, pulled out the long-handled crescent axe with cold light from behind, and blocked in front of Hod.

Seeing this scene, Hod's brows relaxed slightly, and then loudly ordered Orville and other Vlandia to recruit crossbowmen to form a battle array.

The Vlandia recruits and recruited crossbowmen, who were still a little panicked, came back to their senses instantly after hearing the order.

Although they were still a little panicked, they still acted quickly, and according to Hod's request, they began to reload the crossbows, and formed a neat formation at the fastest speed, standing in front of Hod and others, ready to meet the enemy.

At this moment, the twenty or so Kuyel cavalry were rushing towards this side quickly, and the distance between the two sides had shortened to less than a hundred steps.

These Kuyel people are indeed a nation that grew up on horseback since childhood, with superb riding skills, and peopleEveryone is proficient in horseback archery.

Under Hod's increasingly solemn gaze, the twenty or so Kuyel cavalrymen almost simultaneously reached out to take out the hard bows they carried with them.

Then, they bent their bows and aimed at the new recruits of Valandia who were still in a hurry to form a battle array. As the bowstrings were loosened, sharp arrows flew towards the Valandian camp.

In an instant, miserable cries came one after another.

A stream of blood shot up into the sky, like blooming blood-colored flowers blooming on the battlefield.

Many new recruits of Valandia were unable to dodge and were hit by sharp arrows and fell to the ground and died on the spot.

The recruits who had escaped by chance continued to grit their teeth and continue to form a battle array. The entire battlefield instantly fell into a bloody and chaotic scene.

[Valandian recruits killed by Kuyel nomads]

[Valandian recruits killed by Kuyel warriors]

…

The cold and mechanical prompt sound of the system kept echoing in Hod's mind, and his face couldn't help but darken.

And Monklon on the side had his eyes wide open, his eyes burning with anger, and roared: "Orville, what are you still standing there for? Shoot!!!"

Hearing Monklon's almost roaring urging, Orville's originally expressionless face twitched slightly, but his hands did not move at all.

Until those Kuyel people entered the range, he quickly raised the light crossbow in his hand, held it steadily in front of him, and then squinted one eye and aimed at a Kuyel cavalryman who was galloping in the distance.

With a light pull of the trigger, an extremely sharp crossbow arrow flew out like lightning.

Almost at the same time, other crossbowmen recruited by Vlandia also took action. For a moment, dozens of crossbow arrows cut through the sky and shot towards the group of Kuyel riders with a sharp whistling sound.

In just a blink of an eye, the rain of arrows had already fallen into the Kuyel riders.

However, something unexpected happened. Facing such a swift attack, the Kuyel people actually showed extraordinary agility and superb riding skills.

Some of them suddenly leaned forward and clung to the horse's back, while others twisted their bodies sideways and avoided the fatal crossbow arrows in an extremely thrilling posture. Only four unlucky Kuyel riders were unfortunately hit by crossbow arrows and fell off their horses.

Seeing this scene, Orville's face changed instantly, and he couldn't help but feel an indescribable shock and anger in his heart.

But he had no time to curse, instead he pulled the bowstring again as fast as he could and quickly loaded new crossbow arrows, preparing to fire a second shot.

Because he knew very well that if he could not stop the charge of the Kuyel people as soon as possible, the consequences would be disastrous...
