Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Led by Hood, a group of nine people quickly reached the city gate.

"Stop, 2 copper sheep per person for city entry tax." A team leader wearing chain mail and a long sword hanging on his waist stopped Hood and others with two soldiers guarding the city.

Hood smiled at the team leader, put his left hand into his arms, and at the same time materialized 18 copper sheep from the system backpack.

"Sir... these are for the nine of us." Hood smiled and handed the copper sheep to the team leader.

The team leader took the copper sheep and threw it into a wooden box beside him, then glanced at Nott, Monkron and others, raised his chin high and asked: "Mercenaries?"

"Yes, sir." Hood nodded.

"Foreigners?" The team leader continued to ask, and without waiting for Hood to answer, he said directly: "Foreign mercenaries entering the town also need to pay a deposit of 50 copper sheep per person."

As soon as this was said, Nott behind him couldn't help but walk forward directly, staring at the team leader and asking.

This action immediately attracted other soldiers guarding the city. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen soldiers holding short spears and round shields surrounded Hod and his party.

When the robbers in the distance saw this scene, they subconsciously drew their short swords to support them. Fortunately, Kuhn stopped them in time.

Looking at the soldiers around him, Hod quickly stopped Nott, who was about to be angry, and asked the captain of the city defense team: "Do you need so many?"

You should know that the recruitment price of a robber is only 50 copper sheep.

"Humph!" The captain of the city defense team snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "This is the order of Lord Conrad. All mercenaries entering the city must pay. Who knows if you outsiders will cause any trouble."

After that, he waved his hand impatiently, signaling Hod to pay quickly.

Hod frowned and thought secretly in his heart, but in order not to cause trouble, he still took out 4 silver deer and 50 copper sheep from the system backpack.

After the captain accepted it, he waved his hand to signal other soldiers to make way, and reminded them: "Remember, don't cause trouble in the town, otherwise we will put you all in jail."

Hode nodded, and then led everyone into the town.

After walking out of the tower corridor, Hode led Nott and others directly to the southeast. According to the small vendor Connie, there are several taverns here that combine drinking and accommodation.

Just arrived in the town, if you want to find a temporary place to rest, then the tavern here is undoubtedly the fastest choice.

Moreover, the tavern is also the easiest place to get news.

As soon as he entered the town, Hode felt a completely different atmosphere from the previous one in Lesai Village.

Compared with the lifeless villagers of Lesai Village, this place is full of vitality and vitality, and there are residents coming and going everywhere.

They are busy shuttling through the streets and alleys, talking about trivial matters of life or business dealings with each other, with smiles on their faces, and seem to be full of hope for the future.

Hod couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is what a normal human society should look like!

He took a deep breath and felt the smell of fireworks in the air.

At the same time, Hod saw several town soldiers walking together. They were dressed in neat cotton armor and holding spears. They patrolled and laughed, showing a slightly relaxed atmosphere.

In addition, from time to time, some mercenaries wearing armor and holding various weapons walked through the streets.

They may have just returned from a mission or are ready to set off for a new mission.

Unlike those relaxed town soldiers, the breath exuded by these mercenaries makes people feel a kind of tenacity and fatigue.

Their eyes reveal a kind of perseverance that has gone through vicissitudes, as if they have experienced countless life and death tests.

This breath makes Hod feel very familiar, because he has seen the same eyes in Nott and Monklon.

It seems that in this town, the people here are working hard in their respective positions and fighting for a better tomorrow.

For Hod, this will also be a new starting point for his life in this world.

"Boss, that team leader is obviously blackmailing us."

At this time, an inappropriate word suddenly came into Hod's ears. Looking back, he saw Nott with a face full of indignation.

"Yes, boss, that small vendor didn't say that foreign mercenaries have to pay to enter the town." Monklon also agreed.

"We just came here, it's normal for them to blackmail us. There's no need to conflict with them because of this little thing." Hod, in a good mood, looked back at the two and comforted them.

However, he was still very unhappy when he thought of this. After all, no one wants to be blackmailed for nothing.

"Humph, later, I must get these guysKill them all!" Nott clenched his fists, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, don't be angry, let's go to the tavern first." Hod patted Nott's shoulder and continued to walk forward.

Soon, they came to the door of a tavern, on which hung a shabby wooden board with the name of the tavern written on it.

"Old Charlie's Tavern"

The door of the tavern was closed at the moment, but Hod heard bursts of noise coming from inside, and it seemed that the business was very good.

"You wait here, Nott, come in with me." Hod said to everyone.

After speaking, he pushed open the door and walked in.

The tavern was filled with a strong smell of alcohol, and people sat together in groups of three or five to drink and chat. Most of these people were mercenaries and residents, and there were also several town soldiers wearing cotton armor.

Hod glanced around and found that no one paid attention to them who suddenly came in, so he simply found an empty seat and sat down.

"Boss, give me two glasses of wine. "Hod shouted.

"Okay, please wait a moment." The boss behind the wooden bar responded, and then a bartender brought two glasses of beer.

Hod took the glass, took a sip, and frowned immediately. What the hell, it smelled like Chinese medicine and soil.

But Nott seemed to be unable to feel it. He took the wooden glass and drank it with big gulps.

Seeing this, Hod directly pushed the beer in his hand to Nott, in exchange for Nott's moved eyes.

At this time, the conversation of several mercenaries at the table next to him caught his attention.

One of the mercenaries said: "Have you heard that a group of robbers appeared nearby and robbed several caravans."

Another mercenary echoed: "Yes, I heard that a caravan from Polka Town was robbed by them a few days ago."

"The leader of that caravan is still recruiting people in the town, wanting to take back his goods. "

"How about we give it a try?"

Several lone mercenaries discussed with each other, whether to try to apply for the job and earn some money.

Hood's heart moved, and he stood up and walked towards the mercenaries at that table.

"Boss?" Nott raised his head and looked at Hood who stood up, not understanding what happened.

"Wait for me here."

After that, Hood walked to the table of mercenaries and asked with a smile: "Friends, can you tell me the details of this gang of robbers?"

"Of course, but..." The mercenary hesitated, then looked around and said in a low voice: "But you have to buy us a few drinks."

"No problem. "Hod agreed readily.

Then he asked the bartender to bring a few glasses of wine and handed them to the mercenaries.

The mercenaries took the glasses, drank them all, and then began to tell the story.

It turned out that this group of robbers had been active in the vicinity for a long time. They were numerous and cruel, and often robbed merchants.

Moreover, their leader was said to be a wandering noble knight, and many caravan guards and bounty hunters were no match for him.

And the town's affairs officer Conrad had sent town guards out many times to encircle and suppress this group of robbers, but he never found the robbers' lair.

After listening to the mercenaries, As he spoke, Hod fell into deep thought.

If this group of robbers is really as powerful as these mercenaries say, then he should not get involved in this trouble.

When he first heard this information, Hod planned to take Nott and the others to participate. On the one hand, he could earn some silver deer, and on the other hand, he could let Nott and the others gain experience through fighting and upgrade them to the next stage as soon as possible.

But now he thinks about it, forget it. Although the robbers' weapons and equipment have been replaced, most of them are still first-level soldiers. If they really meet that group of robbers, they may not be opponents.

"Thank you, I won't bother you for now." After making a decision in his heart, Hod thanked the mercenaries, and then stretched out his hand to signal the bartender of the tavern to order a few more glasses of wine for the mercenaries at this table.

"You're welcome, we are all mercenaries, help each other. "The mercenary said with a smile.

Hod smiled faintly, nodded politely to them, and then returned to his seat.

He turned his head, his eyes fell on Nott who had finished drinking, and whispered: "Nott, go and call Monkron and the others outside in."

Nott nodded in response, got up and walked out of the tavern.

Not long after, Monkron and several other robbers walked into the tavern.

Unlike Hod and Nott entering the tavern before, this time Monkron and the others' appearance immediately attracted the attention of other people in the tavern. People drinking cast curious glances and whispered.

The tavern oldOld Charlie also keenly noticed the change in atmosphere. He walked out from behind the bar with a warm smile on his face and said to Monklon and others:

"Dear guests, what do you need? I have everything here to meet your various needs!"

As he spoke, he scanned the crowd with his eyes, trying to understand their purpose.

Monklon ignored him and walked straight towards Hood with the robbers.

"Boss, they are all my companions, don't worry." Hood stood up and said to Old Charlie with a smile, and then continued: "By the way, give us a few more glasses of wine and some food."

After that, he invited Monklon and others to sit down.
