Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Chapter 189

Old Rory understood, turned around, took a deep breath, and calmed down before asking the three people in fluent Kuyel language.

The three Kuyel people were stunned for a moment, then raised their hands without hesitation, pointed to the southwest, and talked a lot.

Time passed by, and Old Rory listened to the other party's words attentively.

Finally, after a long time, Old Rory turned to Hod again and said in a low voice: "My lord... they said that their tribe was arranged by the big head in a village in the southwest."

After listening to Old Rory's retelling, Hod nodded gently, and then he gave an order to Monkron, ordering him to lead the newly recruited Valandian recruits to escort all the spoils here back to the village where they were before.

Hod took the rest of the people to the Kuyel tribe camp.

According to the previous communication with the three Kuyel people, Hod learned that their tribe could only be regarded as a small tribe, with only forty or fifty tents and a total population of about two hundred.

Excluding the old and weak, there were only sixty or seventy people in the tribe who were really capable of taking up arms and participating in the battle.

And now those warriors who were more skilled in fighting in those tribes were almost wiped out by Hod.

At this moment, their camp was empty, and except for ordinary herdsmen, there was almost no power to resist external attacks.

Faced with this situation, Hod couldn't help but have a bold idea in his mind.

Take this opportunity to go deeper and see if he can capture some herdsmen and incorporate them into his cavalry.

After all, judging from the previous battle experience, the combat capability of these Kuyel people is far better than that of the Estrella people.

They are not only good at riding and archery, but also, perhaps due to environmental factors, they have developed their brave and brutal character. With their will to fight to the death, they are definitely excellent soldiers.

For such high-quality soldiers, it would be a pity if they cannot be subdued and utilized.

In addition, through the understanding of these three Kuyel people, Hod also discovered an important situation.

That is, there is a clear difference between these lower-level herdsmen and the rulers in the tribe.

The lower-level herdsmen only hope to have enough food and clothing.

The upper-level heads are eager to obtain more power, wealth and land.

This contradiction between the upper and lower levels undoubtedly gave Hod an opportunity to take advantage of.

He believed that as long as the plan was well planned, it would be possible to successfully recruit those herdsmen who were dissatisfied with the status quo and strengthen their own strength.

But to be honest, this operation was actually very risky. Due to the limitations of the system settings, the robbers and the Valandian soldiers could not ride horses for long-distance raids. If they wanted to increase their speed, they could only rely on carriages.

Since these robbers and Valandian soldiers appeared in this world through the system, although they are no longer just a string of data, they have never learned the skill of riding horses.

Not only that, even if Hod tried it himself, the result was still unsatisfactory.

He once tried to ride a warhorse with better riding skills than himself, but at the moment he turned on the horse, an inexplicable force suddenly pushed him away, and the feeling of being excluded made him helpless.

Faced with this situation, Hod had no choice but to give a thumbs up to the system in his mind to show his admiration.

Because of this, among this team of 150 people, only Batu's six raiders are truly capable of riding horses.

This undoubtedly greatly reduces the mobility of the entire team. If they encounter a large-scale Kuyel army, the possibility of being surrounded and annihilated will be greatly increased.

But then again, in the face of a brutal war, everyone is just a consumable that can be sacrificed at any time, even these robbers and Valandian soldiers are no exception.

But in order to strengthen his own strength, Hood has no choice but to do everything he can to expand his team and improve the level of his soldiers.

Only in this way can he survive better in this world.

At dusk, the setting sun dyed half the sky red like blood, and the afterglow fell on Doppler Village.

However, today's Doppler Village is no longer the quiet and peaceful village on the border.

Since the Kuyel people invaded the east, this land instantly fell into chaos and panic. As a subsidiary village of Mirdal Castle, Doppler Village was the first to suffer the attack of the Kuyel people.

The lord led the villageThe villagers rose up to resist, but ultimately failed. The lord was beheaded and the villagers became slaves.

The once warm village suddenly became a temporary camp of the Kuyel tribe that came to attack here.

The fertile farmland outside the village is now unrecognizable. The green wheat seedlings have just sprouted, and the Kuyel herdsmen drove the remaining dozen livestock in their tribe to trample and eat them wantonly.

Looking around, this farmland has become a pasture for herders to graze.

In the orchard not far away, people were swaying. Some female Kuyel people were shuttling between the branches of the fruit trees, hurriedly picking the fruits that were not yet fully ripe.

With focused eyes and agile movements, they picked the green fruits one by one, just to get more food to fill their stomachs.

In the center of the village, several wisps of smoke rose, and a pungent smell of smoke could be smelled from a distance.

Obviously, the village robbers, the Kuyer herdsmen, were making fire and cooking. The smoke from the cooking added a breath of life to the village that was ravaged by the war.

At this moment, a burst of rapid horse hoof sounds suddenly came from afar, breaking the temporary calm.

I saw several riders driving the horses from afar, shouting loudly and exuding a rough breath.

When they saw these riders returning victoriously, the originally busy herdsmen stopped their work, their faces bloomed with joyful smiles, and cheers resounded throughout the village.

Several pale and thin herdsmen rode on ponies, imitated the riders, and waved the wooden sticks in their hands as scimitars and quickly rushed towards them.

Some looked so peaceful and comfortable, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of several riders riding half-armored war horses on the high slope in the distance.

Hod stopped on the hillside on his horse, looking at the Doppler village below with an expressionless face. He slowly drew the long sword from his waist, pointed at the village below, and said: "Charge!"

Instantly, six raiders rushed down the hillside with strange howls, and dozens of carriages quickly separated and surrounded them.
