Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

On the road, several black spots were getting closer and closer. Under Hod's solemn gaze, these black spots gradually revealed their figures.

They rode on sturdy travel horses, wearing leather armor on their upper bodies, long robes on the outside, brown leather boots on their legs, and iron pot helmets on their heads, like a group of armored steel beasts.

Each rider held a cavalry spear about two meters and eight in length in his hand, and the tip of the spear flashed with cold light, as if it could pierce everything.

In addition, there were short swords hanging around their waists, and even two or three riders carried light crossbows on their backs, and the crossbow arrows flashed with cold light, as if waiting for the arrival of prey.

After seeing Hod and his group on the side of the road, these riders immediately drove their travel horses and ran quickly towards this side.

"Leader?"

Nott licked his chapped lips, and the machete in his hand had already been pulled out.

"Looks like a bounty hunter..."

Monkron glanced at the riders rushing over and immediately made his own analysis.

"MD, it's that group of ghouls who like to cut off people's heads again..." Kuhn cursed angrily, his face full of hatred.

As criminals, they were often captured by these bounty hunters on the mainland in the game. The lucky ones were sold to slave traders, and the unlucky ones were directly beheaded.

There is no criminal who doesn't hate these bounty hunters who get rewards by hunting them.

"Leader, what should we do? Should we fight them?"

Nott, Monkron and the others all looked ferocious, their eyes looking at Hod, waiting for his orders.

As long as Hod gave an order, even if they risked their lives, they would knock these annoying bounty hunters off their horses.

Seeing the other party rushing towards this side aggressively, Hod's expression became more and more serious, and he quickly opened the recruitment system, intending to use all the money in his backpack to recruit robbers.

However, the next system prompt made his face gloomy.

[The team has reached the upper limit and cannot recruit]

Looking at the 20/20 number of soldiers displayed on the team page, Hod took a deep breath, looked up at the riders rushing towards this side, secretly estimated the distance between the two sides, and immediately gave instructions.

"Monklon, you take Kuhn and others with pitchforks and short spears to form the first line."

"Nott, you take the second line!"

"Jeff, you guys stay with me and wait for my order."

As Hod spoke one order after another, the robbers immediately took action.

Twenty robbers, a total of seven people using pitchforks as weapons, plus the short spears obtained from the dead militiamen in the village, the number of robbers with long weapons reached twelve.

Under the leadership of Monklon, they quickly stepped forward and formed two rows, holding the pitchforks in their hands and pointing them diagonally outward.

The remaining robbers all held hoes, machetes, and daggers as weapons. At Nott's call, five robbers immediately stood behind Monkron and his men with machetes and hoes in their hands.

In the end, only Jeff and Kuhn were left holding daggers, guarding both sides of Hodder.

There were seven riders in total. After seeing the group of criminals in front of them, who were not sure whether they were robbers or bandits, forming a confrontation formation, they immediately laid down their cavalry spears.

"Tap tap..."

"Tap tap..."

The sound of horse hooves was like dense drum beats, constantly hitting the ground. Every hoof sound was like a heavy hammer, hitting people's hearts hard.

The seven riders formed a smaller version of the cone formation. They increased their horse speed again, like an arrow from a string, rushing straight towards the direction where Hodder and others were.

As the distance got closer, the atmosphere between the two sides became oppressive, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere, making people feel suffocated unconsciously.

Hod held the weapon tightly in his hand, his eyes were firm and calm, his heartbeat accelerated, but he had no intention of retreating.

He knew that this might be a life-and-death battle, but he had to protect his own life.

It was too late to escape at this time. With only two legs, he could not outrun these riders riding traveling horses.

If he wanted to survive, he had to confront these riders head-on. Only in this way could he have a chance to survive.

When the two sides were only a few dozen meters apart, Hod finally saw the faces of the other riders. The ridicule and disdain on their faces seemed to laugh at Hod and others for overestimating their own abilities.

For these bounty hunters, it was extremely ridiculous for a group of lawless people to try to resist them.

They thought they had strong strength and equipment, and could easily suppress any lawless people, even if the number of the other side was far greater than theirs.

However, these riders did not know that the robbers in front of them were not ordinary lawless people, but as a group of lawless people in the game.The existence of a player's primary nightmare.

There is a strange setting in the game, that is, whether it is the player's soldiers, the outlaws in the wild, or other NPCs, they all have a common feature.

Fight to the death...

Even if there is only one person left, as long as the morale is not low, these NPCs in the game will fight to the last moment and will not retreat.

Hod has encountered this situation countless times in the game. When he led the soldiers to kill the outlaws and only a few were left, these robbers would still shout and attack him.

It seems that they can't feel fear at all, and these robbers also have this characteristic after being embodied in this world.

With such a soldier who is not afraid of life and death, Hod suddenly has a strong fighting spirit in his heart.

At this moment, he wants to let these arrogant bounty hunters know that what they are facing is not a group of rabble, but a group of warriors with firm beliefs and indomitable spirit!

"Come on, let me show you how horrible the player's nightmare is."

Hod held the short sword, his eyes showing a strong fighting spirit.

The bounty hunters rushed faster and faster, the horses were galloping, and the sound of horse hooves was deafening.

The riders equipped with light crossbows took off the crossbows behind them, they skillfully operated the weapons in their hands and quickly aimed at the target.

With the order of the bounty hunter leader, the riders immediately launched the first attack on Hod and the robbers.

"Swoosh... swoosh..."

Three arrow feathers cut through the air, with a sharp sound of wind, shooting towards Hod and others.

These arrows were shot out by the strong crossbow strings at a very fast speed, drawing an arc in the air, and fell into the robbers in the blink of an eye.

"Puff..."

Some arrows directly penetrated the robbers' bodies, blood splattered, and some arrows missed and stuck in the ground.

However, these sudden attacks did not affect the robbers. The robbers who were shot by arrows fell to the ground and wailed in pain, but the other robbers still looked forward with firm and fierce eyes.

This scene made the bounty hunters who were charging stunned for a moment, and their faces showed surprise.

They originally thought that these criminals would flee in panic, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Facing the enemy's attack, these criminals on the opposite side were not only not panicked, but appeared unusually calm.

This calmness made the bounty hunter leader feel uneasy, and suddenly an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

However, at this time, the horse speed has been increased to the limit and cannot be stopped easily.

If they forcibly stop the charge, they are likely to fall off the horse due to inertia and lose their combat ability.

For this group of bounty hunters who are good at chasing criminals, fighting on horseback is their strong point, but when it comes to equestrian skills, they are far inferior to those regular knights who have undergone rigorous training since childhood.

But at this point, the bounty hunter leader had no choice but to lead the others to continue charging, silently praying that the enemy in front of them was just an ordinary criminal.

"To survive!" Hod looked at the approaching bounty hunters, suddenly raised his dagger and shouted loudly, his voice full of determination and firmness.

The robbers heard the call and shouted loudly, their eyes flashing with the desire for survival and unyielding fighting spirit.

This shout seemed to ignite the fire deep in the hearts of the robbers, making them forget their fear and fatigue, and an inexplicable force surged from every corner of their bodies.

They clenched their weapons in their hands and prepared for the upcoming battle.

"Kill!"
