Beshi asks Basim to save his men. Basim risks his life and enters the harbor to rescue them. But there are many soldiers around the docks. Most of them are standing in pairs. So killing them quietly is not going to be easy. Still, I try my best to use stealth kills. Honestly, stealth attacks feel really fun in this game.

But I fail on my first attempt. When I try to sneak up on the two soldiers standing on the roof, they notice me and start attacking. However, I quickly stop their attack and kill both of them by cutting their throats. This is my first real fight against the Order's soldiers in this game. They are also my first kills.

I notice two more soldiers inside the dock area. But I don't attack them because they are standing together. Instead, I wait for them to separate. After a short time, one of them walks towards a boat. So, I quietly approach the soldier who is left behind and kill him. After that, I carry his body away and hide it. I know his friend will come back soon, and if he sees the dead body, he will become alert. His friend returns and starts looking for him. I use this chance to sneak up behind him and perform an assassination. Basim quickly pushes his blade into the soldier's throat and kills him. This time, I don't need to move the body because there is no other soldier nearby.

I stay on a rooftop. There are more soldiers standing below me. I know I need to wait for the right moment because they can attack me at any time. I really like how the stealth kills work in this game. In other Assassin's Creed games, stealth kills often look different. Basim's attacks here are very quick. He simply puts his blade into the enemy's throat and pulls it out again.

I wait for the two soldiers below to separate. As soon as they move away from each other, I jump down from the roof and kill one of them. Then, I carry his body away and hide it. Remember, hiding dead bodies is very important when you are using stealth. Never leave a dead body in an open place. The other soldiers may return, find the body, and become alert.

When the second soldier comes back, I quietly approach him from behind and kill him too. So far, I have only had one proper fight.

I also try many times to capture the exact moment when Basim puts his blade into an enemy's throat. But the animation is so fast that I still haven't been able to capture that moment in a screenshot. I kill two more soldiers, but
