After a Leap of Faith, I bypassed guards on horseback to reach an ignored roadside camp. I quietly eliminated the first three guards. I then engaged the tough one with arrows, dodging his spear throws before defeating him and looting the compound.
Landing safely in a haystack after executing a Leap of Faith from the viewpoint, I found my mount waiting nearby while the searching guards finally gave up their pursuit.
Avoiding a direct brawl, I mounted up and rode back toward a small restricted camp I had bypassed earlier, keeping my promise to return.
En route, gate guards fired flaming arrows that spooked my mount, but I pressed forward through the barricades until reaching the perimeter.
Before entering, I summoned Enkidu to scan the camp layout. The aerial recon revealed only four guards patrolling the small restricted zone.
Opting for a stealthy approach, I closed in on my first target, who was busy cooking near the camp center, and dropped him with a swift air assassination.
A female guard spotted the body and caught a brief glimpse of me, forcing me into hiding. Once she abandoned her search and turned around, I eliminated her quietly as well.
I then climbed up a guard tower to pick off the third soldier holding the high ground, leaving the fourth guard on the street for last.
This final target, a heavily armored one, proved tricky. Recognizing him as a tough melee opponent, I positioned myself above him for an air assassination, but his irregular patrol path kept him out of range.
Losing patience, I drew my bow to ignite him with fire arrows just as he began moving again. I canceled the draw, reset my position, and eventually opened fire with incendiary shots.
The fire dealt surprisingly low damage, and the standard enemy attacked me back by throwing a spear at my position, which I dodged before finishing him off with a volley of standard arrows.
With the camp cleared, I climbed down to scavenge the area for valuables. I discovered a reward chest tucked inside a hut, but the main door was barred from the inside with no open windows or alternative entry points available. Unable to breach the structure, I left the locked reward behind and moved on.
That's all for now.
