Infiltrating the Mongol Base.

The contest themes of @gamingphoto helps us seeing things in a video game that we normally ignore.

After clearing the towers of archers, I moved through the Mongol camp using different stances to defeat swordsmen, shieldmen, and spearmen. I reclaimed stolen iron and found a Sashimono banner before scouting a new section of the base.

After climbing up on the tower where I took down the last archer, I looked across the camp to ensure the high ground was secured. I noticed there was another archer stationed on a different tower. I shot him down with arrows real fast, ensuring no one could spot me from above as I moved through the camp.

Then I went to another side of the camp, staying low to avoid the light of the central fires. I found a Mongol who was busy cooking something near the fence and wasn't paying attention to his surroundings.

While I was assassinating that Mongol, I noticed there was another one just passing by. I had to take care of him next as he noticed me slicing his buddies throat. However, there was a third one who saw me from afar and shouted a warning.

The third one was a swordsman who rushed toward me with his swords raised high. I took him down easily by using the correct stance for him, parrying his initial strike and counter-attacking with a flurry of blows.

Right after the swordsman fell, there came a fourth one, which was a shieldman who looked much more defensive. I had change my stance to take him down easily, shifting my weight to deliver heavy kicks that would break his guard.

Then another enemy joined the fray who was a spearman, and I had to change the stance again to handle his long reach. I timed my dodges perfectly, sliding under his thrusts to get inside his guard. And yeah, I took care of him real good.

Once the immediate area was quiet, I found some stolen metal, which was iron that I had to reclaim for the people. This was a key part of the base's objective.

I searched the nearby area and found a Sashimono banner hidden inside a tent. I recovered it and tucked it away, noting that there were still two more to go before I had collected everything in this camp. These banners are important symbols, and I was determined to find every last one of them before I left this place.

I went ahead and climbed up on a height from where I noticed another part of the base was being guarded by some Mongols. The view from the top gave me a perfect tactical advantage, allowing me to count the enemies and see their patrol routes.
