The Traitor's Dark Orders - Ghost of Tsushima.

I took an alternative rooftop path to quietly assassinate a Mongol guarding captive villagers. After clearing more guards and rushing to stop an attack on the hostages, the rescued peasants revealed Tomoe was leading the Mongols toward Hiyoshi Springs, prompting Sensei Ishikawa to prepare for a defensive stand.
I was tasked to save the captive villagers while slaying the Mongols down. Knowing it would be a risk for the villagers to let the Mongols see me, I decided to try an alternative path to get there.
Following an alternative path, I jumped and landed on the roof of a house and reached close to the villagers who were being guarded by a single Mongol.
Without taking much time, I assassinated that Mongol with a cool jump and shredded his blood around with pleasure while the captives stayed quiet.
Before rescuing those villagers, I decided to check on the other Mongols. I went inside the close-by house, and I noticed there were two Mongols right outside, so I just assassinated one of them quietly.
I knew going for the other one would be a bit risky as there was another Mongol close-by, but I had to go for him anyway, and I was detected by the other one during the attempt, like I assumed.
Then I noticed some Mongols along with one of the leaders tried to attack the villagers, so I rushed to them real fast and I took them down as fast as I could before they could harm the villagers.
After saving the villagers, Jin asked them if they saw a Japanese woman with these Mongols. One of them mentioned that the woman Jin was asking for was giving the Mongols orders, and she was talking about the sensei and the hot springs.
When I went to speak to the sensei, he mentioned he taught a monster how to hunt. Then he talked about the way Jin fight, which was not their way, and Jin replied they had not faced such enemies before, so they must do what they had to.
Knowing Tomoe was going after Hiyoshi Springs, the sensei mentioned they should be prepared. He said he would see Jin at his dojo, and the quest came to an end.

Fantastic screenshots. I really liked the stealth approach at the beginning. Even after being detected, you reacted quickly and protected the villagers before it was too late.
I'm really glad you enjoyed both the screenshots and the gameplay.
I liked how the rescued villagers became the key source of information. They warn that Tomoe is heading toward Hiyoshi Springs. It raises the stakes for the next mission.
It was a smart way to connect the rescue with the next objective.
That opening assassination was so smooth that the nearby captives barely had time to react before the guard was gone. Your quick approach was spot on.
That quick opening was exactly the kind of start I was hoping for.
I liked how you picked the rooftop instead of charging straight in. That first assassination set the mood for the whole mission.
You're right. Taking the high ground gave me a much better start to the infiltration.
