While exploring after the camp liberation, I intervened in a fight between Mongols and bandits using a new horse-jump attack. After defeating a the Mongols, I encountered a second patrol where I fell down after attacking them and then I took them down upon get back on foot.

So after liberating the Mongol territory, beach side camp, I was exploring around when it was night again. I noticed a group of Mongols was fighting some bandits in an open field. It was a chaotic scene, with steel clashing and voices shouting in the dark. I watched from a distance, and then rushed to intervene.

This is the first time I tried this action where Jin jumped off his horse and attacked the nearby enemy with a swift, downward strike. The momentum of the horse added a lethal force to the blade. It felt incredible to finally pull off such a cinematic and effective move.

Then I had to fight the Mongols as they were done with the bandits and turned their focus toward me. Their swords glinted in the moonlight as they surrounded my position. I didn't give them chance to strike much.

There was this heavy Mongol left with a heavy shield who was no match for my skill. I used the right stance and took him down real easily by breaking his guard. Once his shield was pushed aside, I delivered a flurry of slashes that ended the fight quickly.

Then I noticed there was a Mongol clinging to life, so I ended his suffering in a cold way under the moonlight, providing a quick death.

I continued with riding under the moonlight and suddenly I noticed another Mongol patrol on my way. I gripped the reins tightly, and was preparing to repeat my earlier success and catch them completely off guard.

I rode my horse towards them real fast and I jumped on this Mongol off my horse and attacked him. The impact made him fall on the ground with a heavy thud. It was a perfect execution of the jumping technique, leaving the other soldiers stunned for a split second as I landed gracefully.

Then that Mongol got up much faster than I expected. And as I was going for him, he hit me with his big spear, which made Jin fall down.

Then I took down that Mongol mercilessly once I jumped back. I started fighting the others as they came in my way. They tried to overwhelm me with numbers, but my resolve was stronger than their steel.

There was this last spearman who tried hard to take me down and I also gave him some chances to prove his worth. But he missed them all, as his attacks were too slow and predictable. I took him down with a final, clean strike that ended the fight.

After I was done with all the Mongols, I just left that place in peace after looting the supplies they had on the cart. I found some iron and wood that would be useful for future upgrades. I rode away into the forest, leaving the quiet battlefield behind me.
