I fought my way down through the guard station with point-blank headshots, joined by Cesare to clear out heavy reinforcements. After escorting Giuseppe out and looting dead guards for ammo, I opened the main gate to cover the allies escape, only to be confronted by the station captain.
Cornered at gunpoint coming out of D'Amico's office, I immediately opened fire, dropped the surrounding guards to carve an escape path through the hallway.
Sprinting toward the lower levels, I dropped a guard on the staircase with a clean headshot. Hearing gunfire echoing nearby, I ducked into cover.
I had to take out another sentry at point-blank range as I pushed toward out of the building as I heard gunshots outside hoping there'd be Cesare waiting outside to cover me.
Just as I assumed, Cesare burst into the interior to provide covering fire, joining me in a heavy firefight against waves of guards pouring into the complex. Knowing they still needed to extract Giuseppe from his cell, I snuck back to the holding area, finding the forger alive and uninjured.
However, Giuseppe refused to step foot outside until the remaining hostile forces were completely wiped out.
Stepping back into the courtyard to clear the perimeter, I encountered a dense line of guards blocking the main yard.
Spotting a sentry winding up to throw a grenade, I shot him mid-motion, causing the live explosive to drop and detonate directly at the feet of the surrounding squad.
With the initial wave wiped out by the blast, I systematically put down the remaining guards patrolling the yard.
With the threat eliminated, I quickly scavenged the fallen guards, desperately searching for medical supplies since my bandage supply was completely depleted. Though I failed to find any healing items, I topped off rifle ammunition and grabbed a few grenades.
Spotting several military trucks parked in the courtyard, I hotwired an engine to see if I could ride it out, though I ultimately left the vehicles behind once the path to the exit cleared..
Guiding Giuseppe and Cesare to the main station doors, Enzo pried the gate open, triggering a cinematic cutscene. Forcing Giuseppe and Cesare to run ahead to safety, Enzo volunteered to stay behind to hold the choke point and cover their retreat.
Just as his allies made their escape, the station captain stepped into the doorway behind him, drawing his sidearm and ordering Enzo to turn around slowly.
Instead of complying, Enzo lunged directly at the captain to initiate a close-quarters struggle.
To be continued.
