Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Chapter 171

After leaving Kanerba Castle, Hood led Nott and three other robber leaders who served as personal guards, and rushed to the camp where their team was stationed.

It is called a camp, but to be more precise, it is just an open space at the bottom of the hillside.

Not only did the robbers and the new recruits of Valandia set up camp here, but even the teams led by other knight lords chose to camp here.

For a while, this empty space that should have been quiet became crowded and bustling.

At the same time, several accompanying caravans saw this "feng shui treasure land" and set up stalls to sell here. Although it was almost noon, the liveliness of this place did not decrease at all.

In contrast to the neat and orderly shops along the street in Rhine Town, these accompanying caravans seemed to be self-contained, and almost every caravan formed a small camp.

Their shops are not fixed buildings in the traditional sense, but are surrounded by carriages to form a unique market.

This unique layout is quite similar to the open-air gatherings that Hood remembered in his previous life.

Among these many caravans, the caravan led by Bach was also prominently listed.

At this moment, they were setting up stalls in full swing, shouting loudly, and trying their best to attract business from passers-by.

What made Hood curious was that Bach got a large amount of wine from nowhere.

As soon as this batch of wine appeared, it attracted the attention of many soldiers and knights like a magnet. They gathered around and crowded Bach's stall. It was very crowded.

You know, these soldiers and knights from all over the marquis' territory usually stayed in their respective fiefs and practiced their skills, and had almost no free time to relax.

Therefore, drinks like alcoholic beverages that can effectively relieve physical fatigue and mental stress are simply an irresistible temptation for them.

Because of this, Bach's alcoholic beverage business is booming and popular beyond imagination.

On the other side, some girls dressed up in fancy clothes are standing in front of their own temporary tents, smiling sweetly to solicit business from passing soldiers.

From time to time, a few soldiers with some spare money in their pockets would come up to chat with them. After a bargaining, the soldiers who reached a deal could not wait to get into the tent to enjoy their good time.

At the same time, some knights were whispering with the leaders of the accompanying caravans. Judging from this posture, they were probably discussing matters such as the repurchase of spoils.

Passing through the bustling camp all the way, Hod came to where they were stationed.

"Boss, how is it?"

As soon as they saw Hod return, Monklon, Kuhn and others immediately came forward and asked anxiously, with deep concern on everyone's face.

Hod looked at the worried faces in front of him, and a warm current surged in his heart, and the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily, revealing a relieved smile.

He lowered his voice and said slowly: "Don't worry, I'm fine, but the old guy Anjana gave us a task to wipe out all the criminals along the way to Milda Castle."

As soon as the voice fell, several excited low shouts came from all around.

I saw Monklon and Kuhn's eyes lit up instantly, full of surprise, and Monklon was so excited that he shouted out: "Boss, this is a good thing! It's just right that we can take this opportunity to kill some criminals and get some experience points by the way!"

Hod smiled and nodded, indicating that he agreed with their views.

To be honest, even he himself had never expected that the old man, Marquis Angana, would actually give him such a task.

Perhaps for most other knights, being responsible for clearing out those criminals along the way is not an enviable job.

However, it is different for the team led by Hood, because all his soldiers are soldiers materialized from the system!

For these soldiers, the only way to improve their strength and be promoted to a higher-level soldier is to continue to fight bravely.

Because of this, when they learned that there was a chance to encircle and suppress those criminals, they were all impatient and full of desire.

Those eyes flashed with excitement, as if they had seen themselves killing people on the battlefield and advancing to a higher-level soldier.

At this time, looking at the unconcealable joy on the faces of Monklon and othersHood smiled slightly, then pressed his hands hard, signaling everyone to calm down first.

After everyone calmed down a little, he gave orders in an orderly manner: "Okay, now we have to act, quickly pack up the things in the camp and get ready to go!"

After receiving the order, everyone immediately cheered up and started to get busy excitedly.

They shouted to the robbers in the camp and the recruited Valandian soldiers, urging them to hurry up and pack up the camp as soon as possible.

For a while, the whole camp was bustling and lively.

People came and went, some were busy organizing weapons and armor, and some quickly packed food and water bags. With the concerted efforts of hundreds of people, it didn't take long for the originally slightly messy camp to be cleaned up, and all military supplies were loaded on the carriage.

At this moment, everyone was ready to go, and they were all eager to try, anxiously and excitedly waiting for Hood to give the final departure order.

After Hod scanned the crowd, he shouted loudly: "Batu, you lead the looters to go first! Once you find the whereabouts of the criminals, come back and report to me immediately!"

"Yes, boss!"

Batu responded without hesitation, and then he turned around and waved to the looters such as Ashilan behind him. Several people quickly jumped on the horse, raised the whip, and drove the grassland horses under their crotch to gallop away.

Seeing Batu and others leave, Hod took the reins from Nott, rode on the travel horse skillfully, waved his arms, and signaled everyone to set off.

However, when the travel horse under his crotch just took a step, a system prompt sound suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Ding... Someone in your team can upgrade]

Hearing this prompt sound, Hod was stunned. How could a soldier be upgraded before the battle.

Curious, he opened the team panel without hesitation.

[Upgradable troops: Vlandia recruits x 10]

[Cost 8 silver deer per person, can be upgraded to: Vlandia conscripted crossbowmen/Vlandia light infantry]
