Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Chapter 174

A burly, fleshy-faced captor suddenly pulled the reins, causing the tall prairie horse under his crotch to neigh.

Then he jumped off the horse's back with a nimble movement, and ran to Hood in a few strides.

The captor knelt on one knee, beat his chest with one hand, and reported to Hood in a loud voice: "Boss, we found a group of criminals ahead..."

At this time, Hood was immersed in the pain brought by his remaining balance, with a sad face and sighing.

However, when he heard the news, his originally dim eyes suddenly burst into bright light, as if he had seen a life-saving straw.

He couldn't wait to lean forward and asked anxiously: "How many people are there?"

"Reporting to the boss, there are about twenty people." The captor quickly answered.

Hearing this number, the fire of hope that Hood had just ignited was extinguished instantly as if it was extinguished by a basin of cold water.

His eyes became dim again. There were only 20 people. With such a small scale, even if they succeeded in wiping out the gang, they would not get much reward.

But on second thought, a mosquito is still meat no matter how small it is. It is much better than getting nothing.

So, Hood took a deep breath, raised his spirits, waved his arm, and ordered loudly: "Brothers, follow me and move forward quickly. We must wipe out this gang of criminals in one fell swoop!"

With Hood's order, the whole team immediately accelerated their pace, and everyone's eyes revealed an unconcealable joy.

You know, as they were materialized from the game world to reality by the system, whether they were vicious robbers or fledgling Vlandia recruits, they were all full of desire and enthusiasm for fighting.

Only by fighting can they gain experience and advance to higher arms!

However, just as Hod led the team and rushed forward at a faster speed, a group of criminals were fleeing in a panic about two miles away from them.

"Swoosh..."

A sharp and piercing sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, breaking the originally dead silence of the wilderness.

In an instant, a sharp arrow flashing with cold light suddenly attacked, accurately hitting the back of one of the criminals in tattered clothes.

Accompanied by a shrill scream, the body of the criminal who was shot by the arrow trembled violently.

Although his body still staggered forward a few steps involuntarily under the strong inertia, he was ultimately unable to resist the invasion of the injury and fell heavily to the ground.

The rest of the criminals who had not yet suffered were frightened by the terrible screams of their companions before they died. They were terrified and their faces instantly lost color.

Fear spread rapidly like a plague, and they had only one thought in their minds - escape!

So, these criminals ran forward more desperately, and even wished they could use their hands and feet to speed up and escape from this terrible place.

"Batu, if you ask me, these small-time characters are not worth alarming the boss..."

Aslan slowly put away the well-made recurve bow in his hand, he casually glanced at the criminal who had died on the ground, then turned his head and asked Batu beside him casually.

Batu frowned slightly upon hearing this, and then responded seriously: "Ashilan, we are here to gather information under the order of the boss."

"No matter what happens on the way, we must report it to the boss truthfully, and the boss should make all the decisions."

After saying that, he lifted the heavy and solid iron leaf spear from the saddle without hesitation, and at the same time, he squeezed the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse under his crotch immediately ran away in pain.

With a dull sound of horse hooves, Batu, holding the iron leaf spear, galloped towards a criminal in front with murderous intent.

"Batu has changed a lot..."

Looking at Batu's departing back, Ashilan murmured, and then he raised his recurve bow, quickly drew the bow and arrow, and shot at a criminal wearing tattered leather armor dozens of meters away without aiming.

Just as Asilan shot the arrow, Batu rushed to the target like a gust of wind.

His eyes were determined, and without any hesitation, he thrust out the iron leaf spear in his hand.

With a muffled sound of "puff", the sharp spear head, with the speed of the grassland horse, pierced through the body of the lawless criminal with a thunderous force.

In an instant, blood splattered, dyeing the grass red.

Batu turned his wrist and stabbedWith a wave of force, the lifeless body was thrown aside like a rag doll.

Then, he quickly looked around, his eyes sharp and his face stern.

At this time, the group of lawless people had already been in chaos, like a frightened flock of sheep that had lost their direction and fled in all directions.

Batu thought about it and shouted at the top of his voice: "Those who kneel on the ground will not be killed!!!"

At the same time, other looters who were cruising around heard the sound and followed up loudly.

After hearing this order, the lawless people who were already terrified and flustered were stunned at first, and then they stopped their panicked steps at the first moment as if they were cast a spell.

They looked at the captors riding on fierce grassland horses and holding gleaming tribal scimitars and bows in fear. Their faces were pale, their legs were weak, and they finally lowered their heads and knelt down obediently.

"Gather them together, wait for the leader to come, and see how he plans to deal with them."

Batu saw that the criminals had knelt down to surrender, and stopped killing. After hanging the iron leaf spear on the saddle again, he ordered the other captors.

The captors immediately dispersed on horseback after receiving the order, driving away the criminal captives and gathering them in an open space.

A dozen criminals with dejected expressions and heads down were kneeling on the ground in unison, their bodies trembling slightly, as if they had lost all the courage to resist in the face of fear.

Around these criminals were looters such as Batu and Asilan riding grassland horses. Holding tribal nomadic scimitars, they watched over the captives while waiting for Hood's arrival.

When Hood and his party hurried over, this was the scene before their eyes.

"Boss, there were a total of 20 criminals. We killed five of them during their escape. The only ones left are these guys in front of us."

Seeing Hood's figure appear, Batu immediately galloped forward and respectfully reported the situation to him.

Hood stared at the criminals kneeling on the ground, with a satisfied light in his eyes. He nodded slightly to express his recognition of the results of Batu and others' actions.

Then, he quickly turned his head and waved to Jeff who was not far behind him, and shouted: "Jeff, come here! Find a way to pry open the mouths of these people and find out where they hid the money they looted."

Hearing Hood's order, Jeff showed a hideous smile on his face and responded: "Okay, boss! Just leave this little thing to me."

After that, he took a big step and walked straight towards the group of criminal captives with a menacing momentum.
