Riding Toward Komtasu - Ghost of Tsushima.

Riding toward Komtasu Forge to meet Yuna and plan Shimura's rescue, I wiped out a Mongol patrol using a clean standoff and jump kick. Under stormy, lightning-filled skies past fallen samurai, I intercepted a group of bandits, executing another swift triple-standoff slash to clear the road.
The time had come to save Shimura from Castle Kaneda, and my next major objective required meeting Yuna at Komtasu Forge. Mounting my horse, I rode out toward the destination.
Along the way, I spotted a group of Mongols occupying the road and instantly challenged them to a standoff.
Stepping forward, I timed my blade perfectly, dropping two of them with a clean standoff strike and immediately cutting down a third who lunged to attack.
One final Mongol charged in heavily, but I overwhelmed him with rapid strikes, leaving him clinging to life on the ground. I stepped up and delivered a merciful final blow to end his suffering.
Just as I finished, another of his comrades rushed me, but I anticipated the charge with a flying jump kick, taking him down completely before he had a chance to counter or defend himself.
Judging by the layout, I understood this had been an active Mongol patrol route or supply exchange point.
Leaving the spot behind, I continued riding toward Komtasu Forge. The landscape grew grim, marked by the numerous dead bodies of samurai scattered along the path, proof of a brutal Mongol massacre.
The weather mirrored the bleak atmosphere, turning heavily overcast with ominous storm clouds and frequent flashes of lightning illuminating the sky.
Shortly after passing the carnage, I encountered a group of bandits along the trail. Challenging them to another standoff, I executed a flawless triple-slash strike that instantly neutralized three of them in a heartbeat.
With the rest of the gang cleared out, I noticed one fallen bandit struggling to hold onto life, so I stepped in to put him out of his misery before continuing my ride to meet Yuna.
If you like the post, feel free to like, comment & share. I will soon come with another post.
That flying jump kick on the last rushing Mongol came out of nowhere. You completely caught him off guard before he could even react.
Wiping out three bandits in a single heartbeat with that standoff strike is peak samurai intimidation right there. Then dropping that charging enemy with a flying jump kick was pure style.
The stormy sky and lightning really matched the dark atmosphere of the journey. Did you notice how many fallen samurai added to the scene?
