Stealth and arrows failed against their formidable fighters, so I switched between horseback strikes and careful duels. Despite tough battles, including one with fire arrows, I defeated them all and restored peace in the area. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRVGdraxYVMd1d28iLWs7hAccUhQW52dKhEDPNJwq3n8w/screenshot_1_.png) After helping the foreigner, I should've headed to the Yokohama Grand Villa to get my reward but this place attracted me for the time being so I went there. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQVWyL4kQ5zQeNE8CgdXAf7nN2wstgVEMEwoT6NLtGWoU/screenshot_2_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRSYneaWyfhxABpyM9QmChhkjzjNGwF16ZET6bLpzCHTr/screenshot_3_.png) I thought there would be bandits guarding the place but no, it was a like a shrine with a giant tree in the middle and was open to everyone. I went inside and I noticed I could climb above sing ropes and I found some loots in the big holes of the tree. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPCASWwe87fyVLt3ETiAuGpiugeG9YzAdvAPxEprukC9T/screenshot_4_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXCAnAd4AbYiPBQ3yE6BwzRrWMfiLanstkdjHAPLx1Mpm/screenshot_5_.png) I stopped there for a moment to check out the beautiful sunset scene and then I jumped off the tree and started gliding towards a place that needed my saving. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQew1hiSnuPBSS5NFEqwfEL8Ky9FE213TvatvhQQrVzGL/screenshot_6_.png) I climbed on top of a tower and raised the banner first and from there, I could see the small area that some bandits had in captured. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmefyybp1v8vWJHhk8ahijv3Lpo7wWdvLfDr114R3T86BC/screenshot_7_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZdNXRXaW3NYGmKztb6tTUt58X82ayHeisgEUa6aMCrw1/screenshot_8_.png) I jumped off the tower and was gliding towards the camp after checking their movements. And I jumped on one of the bandits and finished him. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmP1hCQndKLKWUYR3DqZAW6iChXaBfhqrZgRBCZVfKR9F1/screenshot_9_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmezf4xo3knp8e7JHLtoX4rS8rWcYLT7Hf2g7HUXXmSHM1/screenshot_10_.png) Another one saw me and started hitting a big bell to warn others. I shot down that bandit and two more were coming my way. I tried to shoot them as well. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQma4e8WfkHLfB5deizJxyushjK8RL4DgUU2Ne4QV2bbrRk/screenshot_11_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbie52H8G8yD5XUHEiyH6VFF9UjSFvJFWepHW9TFr3CSr/screenshot_12_.png) But both of them were formidable foe so they could dodge arrows and they were stronger. Both of them climbed up together so I didn't take the chance. I tried escaping from them for the time being. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPUvuK3t91AgiTvpf7Ke4fnyep4xWS6jZPVufAFUaB7jw/screenshot_13_.png) When I noticed they were going back to their camp, I rode towards them and I attacked both of them while riding the horse and I escaped again. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmS9j2kUj4qisnjA4LEEXN1YfL4VQ6SDqjLPxw2X4LHpSQ/screenshot_14_.png) Then I went back to them and attacked one of them from the behind and drained most of his health. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNQGos8XYs5xVeuY3WZ6zvtJdFnRyf8ZF4aK8gDVx9BAc/screenshot_15_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmfR1d4h69MNmw66zREARbpbr2op8zuhFj9Xb5wUaDf5f2/screenshot_16_.png) The formidable one was chasing me and I was escaping to a distance from the camp so the other one won't notice. Then I shot that enemy from a distance when he was going back. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTCFChkvTmEgzL1SEJgZzUBeQKVreW9ur7gNYA2XXccbh/screenshot_17_.png) I went for the other formidable foe thinking he was the only/last one but I noticed there was another one riding a horse around. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdj4Faau7fJXnpBWa3tG3xTCyWCLbEF7A4ZBruhHyWZjx/screenshot_18_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZYTFZCgRdKwgeBNfsydgtmEYaPLjjU5XrnAiNN3WeNoz/screenshot_19_.png) When the horse rider went out of the camp to ride outside, I went for my target and I beheaded him after a fight. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQe6CUxg57gaEZEghtREN74RmdvLDyoa6TJqLpdfUMy9d/screenshot_20_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmT5qxHYfVwLpcxBuybzvQj587KwjUPSz18h3ZptsMwcX7/screenshot_21_.png) I climbed up on a height and tried to shoot the last one but I missed the shot. He was climbing above to fight me and I was climbing down. He shot me with a fire arrow so I fell. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmViuPHKYyTj4dWDpSYsLodzdzcaJbS5cYbjnyr9PDw26a/screenshot_22_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbazCKLnDz6u4CMuurv1aMc4NsdqUXy4gNZsnLoRM7Mft/screenshot_23_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWZUxYmb4eTd469ScYnLc6DrrBfm4YvN2C7T3mMYJHaTW/screenshot_24_.png) Then I had a hard fight with him. He was a tough one to break but I at last took him down and restored public order around that place. We'll continue in another post. --- **Thanks for reading.
