The Road to Azamo.

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=naeemulnepun/f29f4c1e My journey to Azamo Bay for Tadayori's armor was interrupted by a fierce bear that unfortunately overpowered me. After returning to the path, I took down a skilled Mongol patrol and intercepted a group of bandits. Despite my victory over the outlaws, I arrived too late to save their initial innocent targets. I was riding toward Azamo Bay, where the legendary archer's armor is said to be hidden. Along the way, I spotted a massive wild bear in the open who could be fatal for people in the future. I stopped to deal with the animal. After dodging its initial attacks, my first move was a heavy kick to its back, trying to create some distance and throw it off balance. The bear took the hit personally and started attacking with renewed ferocity. I had to stay light on my feet, dodging its heavy paws repeatedly just to stay alive in the middle of the trail. I thought I had a moment to catch my breath and heal up since I had enough supplies, but the bear suddenly overpowered me, taking me down before I could recover. After getting back on the trail, I didn't see the bear again. Instead, I ran into a Mongol patrol that was heavily armed and seemingly waiting for something. I challenged the group's captain to a standoff. My timing was perfect, and I took him down with a single, clean strike before the rest of his men could react. The remaining Mongols were surprisingly well-trained, with most of them wielding dual swords. Their aggressive style made them much harder to manage than the standard soldiers I've faced before. Once the patrol was cleared, I searched their nearby wagon. I found a cache of supplies and guessed they might have been in the middle of a trade or a supply run. I continued my ride toward Azamo Bay but was suddenly ambushed by a group of bandits who just butchered some peasats. They clearly weren't expecting a samurai to be the one coming down the road. I went for the swordsman first to clear the immediate threat. All the while, the archers in the back were desperately trying to pin me down with arrows from a distance.

I took them out one by one with some particularly brutal actions, making sure they wouldn't be ambushing anyone else. After the dust settled, I found the bodies of several peasants that had been the bandits' initial targets. I really wish I could have arrived a few moments sooner to save them from such a pointless end. If you like the post, feel free to like, comment & share. I will soon come with another post.
