My next target was the Iijima Farmstead. I received news that the Mongols had taken over the place and that the innocent people were being imprisoned, tortured and forced to work. I could not accept such injustice while I was there. So I headed towards the farmstead.
The place was not far, about six hundred meters away. Before attacking directly, I first surveyed the entire area. I saw two Mongol soldiers guarding the entrance. I sneaked up behind one and killed him silently. But the other saw me. He was about to sound the horn to warn the others. I took out my bow and shot an arrow, killing him.
Going further in, I saw a few Mongol soldiers standing around one of the prisoners. They were not in one place, they were scattered. So I threw a blast powder to attract their attention. When everyone gathered together, I used the Chain Assassination skill. Within a moment, 3 soldiers fell to the ground. I finished off the rest and freed the prisoner. In gratitude, he told me the location of the next prisoner.
I went ahead and saw that the second prisoner was locked inside a room. There was only one guard there. killing him was not a difficult task. I killed him and freed the second prisoner. He also thanked me and told me the location of the third prisoner.
The third prisoner was kept in an open place. There were two towers, and an archer was standing on the tower. It was impossible to use stealth here. I decided to attack directly. A battle began with the soldiers on the ground. The archers were shooting arrows from the tower, but I was able to repel them. After defeating all the soldiers below, I took out my bow and killed the archers in the tower as well. Then I was able to free the third prisoner.
There was only one prisoner left. He was kept in a place surrounded by many houses. I climbed onto the roof of one of the houses and shot arrows from there, killing two soldiers. But this alerted everyone. They started trying to kill the prisoner.
I jumped off the roof and got straight into the fight. I killed everyone one by one. Finally, I shot a soldier standing far away in the head. He also fell to the ground.
Finally, I freed the last prisoner. He was very happy and thanked me. He had a key to unlock Gosaku's armor. He gave me the key in gratitude.
After the farmstead was liberated, the villagers slowly started returning. Everyone got busy putting their houses back together. And me? I still need to find a few more keys. Because I want to collect that legendary armor of Gosaku no matter what.

That is good progress toward Gosaku's armor. The final fight to protect the last prisoner was full of tension and made the reward feel earned.
This was a fun post to read. Your use of Chain Assassination was very effective, and the screenshots matched the action well. It was satisfying to see the prisoners freed and the villagers return after the battle.
That Mongol was entirely too excited to blow his little warning horn until you delivered an arrow straight to his face. Great captures 🤗
