Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

Looking at the crossbow arrow stuck in the heart behind the robber, Richard heart startled, and his gaze also looked towards the direction where the crossbow arrow flew, a middle age person wearing a red scarf is raising With a wooden crossbow facing him in this direction, and seeing Richard looked towards himself, he ran over and said in a hurry as he ran.

“It’s too late, get rid of him quickly, and then follow me, the city defense army is coming soon!”

Richard heard it and quickly took one man one sword and completely took the two robbers He made up for his life, and then ran out of the alley with the middle-aged man. He was still stained with blood. The screams just now must have woken the people in the tavern. If he goes back like this, he will be found. , And was reported to the city defense army who rushed over, so he could only leave with this middle age person who helped him.

After making a circle, Richard followed the middle age person into a bungalow. Using the rays of light of candles placed on the table in the room, Richard found that it seemed to be a storehouse. .

The middle-aged man placed the wooden crossbow on the table easily, then sat on the wooden chair, looked towards Richard, and said: “Please sit down, I haven’t asked your name yet.”

After hearing what he said, Richard sat in a chair and said, “My name is Richard, how about you? Sir.”

“My name is Marion, I am a local in Lagota Businessman.” The middle-aged man introduced himself, and then changed the conversation, said: “Mr. Richard, I think your battle skill is adept, and you should be able to help me, so would you like to hear about the trouble I’ve encountered? ?”

“Please tell me.”

“Okay, there are always bandits in our forests, people are always because of wars, debts or violent fanaticism The grass fell for the bandit. However, they have become more bold recently. They have started to leave the camp in the forest and break into the town, looking for careless prey. The Captain of the town sentry tells us all this is because of the battle on the border-you know , Rageta is not far behind the border with the Batanian barbarians, and the flames of war often come here.”

“Because of the war, the manpower of the city defense forces to maintain law and order It started to decrease, but I didn’t dare to confirm really just for this reason that made the robbers so rampant. In my opinion, the more logical explanation is that these robbers are in the city to help them sneak in and help. They determined the most tempting goal in the city…Unfortunately, just last week, they just kidnapped my brother.”

“Oh, that’s really unfortunate.” Richard said.

“Who said no.” Marion shrugged, continued: “I don’t know what my brother thinks. A young man from a prominent family often goes out alone after getting drunk. Just like this time, if I were a robber, I would definitely look at him… Well, I think you are the same, but you are an outsider after all, and you don’t know how bad things are here. And he too There are no excuses, but he is my relative, what would you do if you can’t protect your relatives? People will start to think that you can’t protect your investment, and I can’t let them have that. Kind of opinion.”

“I can understand.” Richard nodded.

“It’s better if you can understand. Of course, I don’t expect you to really understand me… After all, those greedy bandits will soon raise the news of the ransom, but I I don’t want to pay them.”

Hearing this, Richard really wanted to ask him if dinar is more important than his relatives, but he didn’t ask it rashly, and he continued to listen. Marion’s next words.

“This is what I want to say. I have witnessed the whole process of your fight. You seem to be skilled in battle, able to easily deal with two little robbers, and more importantly, like you Such a youngster who is alone out there must be ambitious, otherwise he will not appear here, but stay at home and live a life like everyone else.”

“Wait, I think I need to make a statement first.” Richard interrupted him, his face was a little weird, and said: “I am not alone, Lord Marion, I have five other men resting in the tavern, and I accepted Croto The mercenary Captain hired by Master Er.”

“The mercenary? That’s really good!” Marion suddenly became excited, he slapped his hands and said: “Then you take your men Follow those damned robbers to their lair, and then take action to teach them a lesson, so that they will always remember the consequences of doing it to me, and then bring my brother back safely. In return, you will receive my permanent gratitude and A lot of money. How about it, are you interested?”

As soon as he heard that there was a lot of money, Richard’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said with a smile: “It doesn’t matter if money is not, Mali Your Excellency, it’s mainly to get your friendship. I’ll take it!”

“Then it’s settled.” Marion said, he got up and walked to a cabinet again, from inside He took out a bulging cloth bag, handed it to Richard, and said, “However, the number of bandits is probably not a small number. If you plan to deal with the whole group only by you and your five fighters, Then I promise, the hunter will be killed by the prey instead. So you can take this hundred dinar, go to the nearby village or go around in the city, maybe there will be some impulsive young man who wants to go out to meet you If the world goes with you, the money will be used as an advance payment for your remuneration. Go and hire more people.”

“Understood.” Richard took the cloth bag he handed over, and then got up. I wanted to turn around and walk outside, but suddenly remembered the blood stains on my body, I could only turn around and said to Marion: “I am afraid I can’t leave this room like this, so please find me a clean dress for me to change into. Right.”

…

When I returned to the tavern, the tavern was already open for business. Richard also deliberately walked to the alley at the back of the tavern and found that the corpses inside had already been cleaned Go, leaving only a pool of horrible to see blood on the ground.

Walking into the tavern, Richard directly found the boss who was busy behind the counter. The boss was also impressed by Richard, the champion of the competition, and he was also a frequent visitor to the tavern, so the whole person seemed very enthusiastic. Richard asked him if there was any place in Ragita that could be recruited. The Boss instantly understood what he meant, and pointed to a few big guys sitting around a table in the corner, and said.

“Here, if you want to find mercenaries, they are just a few. I remember they used wooden crossbows to fight. You also know that shooting is prohibited in the tavern, so they didn’t take their own The weapon is on him.”

“Ok, I understand, thank you.”

After Richard said, he left the counter and walked towards the big guys.
