Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Chapter 192

This raid was a great harvest for Hod, but at the same time, it also brought him a lot of pressure and burden.

Although he successfully subdued 20 Kuyel riders who were good at riding and shooting to serve him, there were also 53 Kuyel old, weak, women and children who came with these riders.

While accepting the loyalty of these young and strong Kuyel herdsmen, Hod also had to shoulder the burden of supporting the families of these young and strong herdsmen.

But now it is a period of war, and they are close to the war zone. It is inevitable that it will bring a lot of inconvenience to the whole team to take so many old, weak, women and children with them.

So after some thought, Hod decided to send Jules to lead a part of the people to escort these old, weak, women and children back to Kingsley Manor and hand them over to Paul for resettlement and deployment.

You know, Kingsley Manor is now in a critical stage of large-scale reclamation of wasteland and planting of various crops, and a large amount of labor is urgently needed.

And these herdsmen can just fill the manpower gap.

Not only that, those elderly people and experienced women also have some experience in raising livestock.

It just so happens that a breeding farm is being built in the manor, which can fully allow them to give full play to their strengths and be responsible for raising and caring for those cattle and sheep.

After making a decision, Hood immediately went to consult some young and strong Kuyel herdsmen.

These young and strong herdsmen also knew very well that if their families continued to stay here, they might be in danger of life at any time. Therefore, when they heard the arrangement proposed by Hood, they accepted it without exception.

The next day, Jules prepared to take ten elite robbers and a guard team composed of five Kuyel riders to escort the herdsmen and the supplies seized in the forest back to Kingsley Manor.

However, it must be said that except for seven of the ten carts of grain, the remaining three carts were all various weapons and equipment, bundles of arrows, boxes of swords, and dozens of sets of leather armor and helmets.

It has to be said that Hagen spent a lot of money to make those Kuyel people completely kill Hod.

Seven carts of food are enough for a hundred people to live for half a month, and those weapons and equipment can also arm all the young and strong men in a small tribe.

But all of these belong to Hod now. After bringing these herdsmen back, he distributed those brand-new weapons and equipment to the 17 newly joined Kuyel riders.

This moved the young and strong herdsmen who had never had such "excellent" equipment. They all expressed to Hod that they were willing to kill all enemies for him through the retelling of Old Rory.

Back to the point, in order to ensure that Jules and others returned to the manor without any mistakes and to prevent the lawless people who might appear along the way, Hod took out some of the weapons and equipment he had seized before and distributed them to the old people and strong women in the team.

In this way, even if they encounter danger, they can have a certain ability to protect themselves.

Especially those old herdsmen, although the years have made their bodies no longer young, they have mastered extremely superb archery.

It is no exaggeration to say that even those young and strong herdsmen in their prime may not be able to compare with these experienced old herdsmen in terms of archery.

You know, these old herdsmen who can survive in difficult and harsh environments have experienced battles more than once.

Although their physical strength is not as good as before, once they start fighting, their ruthless and decisive means will probably make those young and vigorous herdsmen far behind.

For these old people, killing is no stranger to them. The practical experience they have accumulated over the years is enough to scare any lawless person.

On the day when Jules led the guards and herdsmen to leave the village.

A team of envoys from Marquis Angana suddenly appeared here.

There are five people in this team of envoys. In addition to the envoy in the lead, there are four guards wearing half-body mail and iron helmets.

They had already reached a location three miles away from the village, but encountered a patrolling raider. At first, they mistakenly thought that they had encountered the Kuyel people.

But after a brief exchange, they learned that this sturdy ranger with a bow and a sword was a subordinate of Hod.

Perhaps it was because he had the support of Marquis Angana, or because of his arrogant habits.

After learning the identity of the raider, the envoy team immediately put on a high-handed attitude and ordered the raider to lead them to meet Hod immediately.

However, their behavior aroused the rage of the raider. You know, as a fourth-level soldier, the looters are all from the dead.A tough guy who crawled out of the pile.

Facing the arrogance of the messenger team, his response was also very appropriate. He directly knocked a guard off his horse with a spear, and then three consecutive arrows shocked the other three guards, making them dare not act rashly again.

At the same time, the raider decisively used a unique method to call for the patrolling Kuyel riders nearby to come to support.

After several nearby Kuyel riders arrived at the scene, the messenger team of only five people was beaten up again.

So when these five people appeared in front of Hod, they looked bruised and swollen.

Looking at the miserable state of the five men, Hod couldn't help showing a trace of helplessness on his face. He shrugged and said to the messenger who was covering his cheek: "I'm so sorry, my men are used to being wild, so they may have been a little heavy-handed."

After saying that, Hod turned his head and glared at the raiders who were laughing and watching the fun and the Kuyel riders who had just finished the violence, signaling them to restrain themselves.

Then, he waved his hand, signaling them to leave here quickly and continue to perform the reconnaissance patrol mission assigned before.

However, the messenger who was beaten the worst was obviously unwilling to give up.

He covered his swollen right face tightly and said angrily: "I am the envoy sent by the Marquis himself, representing the Marquis's majesty and face!"

"How dare you, a bunch of ignorant guys, hit me? I must report this matter to the Marquis and let him punish you severely!"

Hearing this, the other four guards also echoed.

They all looked sad and angry, staring at Huo De, as if they wanted to convey all the anger in their hearts to him through their eyes.
