I targeted the Stone Arch Crossing territory, beginning with a stealthy infiltration of the watchtower. After a failed assassination attempt on the Mongol leader, I was forced into an open battle. I utilized the verticality of the tower for jump kills before the leader summoned reinforcements with his war horn.
After liberating the tangled crossroads, I went for another Mongol Territory. This one was Stone Arch Crossing. After seeing the leader from a distance, I was climbing up a steep hill to get a better vantage point on him.
After getting close to the leader, I observed him carefully. I was looking for a standoff to test my blade against his, but he was not ready for one as he remained focused on his training drills. I realized a direct challenge might alert too many guards at once.
I decided to take down the nearby archer first, who could be a major threat during a melee fight. I climbed up the wooden tower and took him down in silence.
Then I went for the leader, who was still practicing there in the open air. I tried assassinating him from behind, though he was not that weak to go down this easily. He parried my hidden strike at the last second, revealing his high level of combat training.
The leader called his soldiers immediately, and they surrounded me in a tight circle. I drew my katana, ready for a good fight. They closed in, forcing me to shift into a defensive stance to manage the multiple attackers.
When I was fighting those people on the ground, another archer from the tower was frustrating me with his arrows. I had to dodge several shots while parrying sword strikes. I prioritized him, sprinting back to the tower and taking him down to remove the ranged pressure.
When I was back on the tower, the Mongol leader along with some of his soldiers were climbing up to corner me. I jumped from there on a soldier below and took him down smoothly. The impact of the jump kill was devastating.
This jump kill seemed much easier than a ground fight, so I climbed the tower again to try it on another Mongol. However, I took one down right upon the tower instead. The leader climbed up as well.
As I knew the leader would be a little hard to take down in such a small space, I climbed down the tower to escape his wrath for the time being
Then I noticed he started blowing up his war horn to call all his soldiers from the camp. The deep blast echoed across the stone arch.
