After freeing the rebels, I lit the signal beacon to draw out Warlord Wasif's elite defenders, allowing Ali's men to engage them in open battle. I eliminated guards defending the upper level, unlocked a trap door using a special key, and dropped silently into Wasif's private chamber to corner the Warlord.
With the cell doors unlocked, the freed rebels declared their readiness to fight alongside us to honor Beshi's memory. Returning to the site where Beshi's body lay, I spoke with Ali to coordinate our next move.
Ali warned that lighting the nearby signal fire would raise an immediate alarm throughout the Great Garrison, drawing the main contingent of guards directly to the courtyard.
Basim proposed using this chaos to his advantage, offering to light the beacon himself to draw out Wasif's elite guard unit before slipping away to track down the Warlord in his personal chambers.
Leaving Ali and his fighters assembled in the courtyard below, I climbed the structure to reach the high signal beacon and set it ablaze. Plumes of smoke and fire instantly triggered alarms across the complex.
With the primary garrison forces fully occupied by the uprising, I turned my attention toward locating Wasif's private quarters.
Heavy waves of guards poured into the open area to confront the disturbance, where Ali and the rebels met them head-on in full-scale combat.
Navigating the high walkways toward the hatch entrance, I encountered a group of guards patrolling the path. I dropped the first soldier with a clean stealth kill and immediately transitioned into a chain assassination to take out two more.
A third guard stepped up to engage, forcing me into a short melee clash before I ran my blade through him.
Reaching the trap door leading to Wasif's room, I was ambushed by a heavily armored guard standing watch directly over the hatch.
Assuming this formidable fighter was Wasif himself, I engaged him in direct combat, trading blows, dodging his swings, and delivering a heavy kick before running my sword straight through his chest.
However, upon checking the fallen enemy, I realized he was merely a top-tier bodyguard placed outside the entrance.
Pulling out the key retrieved earlier from the quarters, I unlocked the heavy trap door and opened it without making a sound. Basim slipped through the opening and dropped quietly into the private room below.
From the shadows, I observed Wasif standing among his remaining guards, who were panicking over the garrison being surrounded. Wasif ordered his guards to clear out and secure the perimeter outside, leaving himself entirely isolated in the room and giving me the perfect opening to strike.
Until next time, happy gaming.
