I followed the thieves to their secret ruins where they were burying stolen goods under the guise of "saving" them from invaders. After a brief interruption by a Mongol patrol, I confronted the group, only to be pulled away by news of an active ambush nearby.
The group began moving toward the secret location where they had been hiding their stolen valuables. I knew I had to discover exactly where their stash was located, so I stayed low and followed them through the brush, keeping a careful distance to avoid being spotted.
Our progress was briefly interrupted when a patrol of Mongols on horseback galloped down the road. Both the group and I instinctively took cover, staying perfectly still until the sound of Mongol horses faded into the distance. It was a tense reminder of the constant danger looming over the island.
I eventually followed the group to a set of ruins where they immediately started digging. They were preparing a spot to hide the valuables they had recently stolen.
Once I had seen enough, I stepped out from the shadows and confronted them. Jin demanded to know what their business was. They tried to defend their actions, claiming they were simply "saving" the valuables from the Mongols with the intention of recovering them once the invaders were gone.
The tense standoff was broken when another member of their group arrived with urgent news. He reported that a group of people had been ambushed by Mongols nearby. Despite Jin's suspicions about the thieves, the immediate threat to innocent lives took priority, and we started moving toward the site of the attack.
When we reached the location, I saw a group of Mongols actively fighting the local peasants. I didn't hesitate; I jumped straight into the fray and began taking down the invaders one by one, using my blade to thin their ranks.
While I was occupied with the main group, I noticed two Mongols had cornered a defenseless peasant. They were closing in, and I knew I had to act fast if I wanted to save him.
I sprinted toward a small cliffside overlooking the struggle and leaped off the edge to land on one of the Mongols. The momentum of the jump carried me down with lethal force.
After piercing through the back of the Mongol, Jin gouged his mouth to ensure he went down silently without alerting the others. It was a brutal but necessary move to maintain control of the chaotic battlefield.
I noticed another Mongol was on the verge of striking down a peasant. I charged toward him and delivered a powerful jump kick, knocking him back and creating the opening I needed to finish the fight.
