A Brutal Hit-and-Run Strategy || AC Origins

I used rooftops to shadow a patrolling soldier carrying vital supplies, attempting multiple air assassinations to slowly deplete his health. After several hit-and-run attacks aided by Senu's distractions and quick horseback escapes, my targets grew panicked and retreated into a heavily fortified restricted area.

The soldiers that I was disturbing called more of them and they were patrolling around the dusty streets. I used roofs to move along with them this time, staying out of their line of sight while I waited for the perfect moment to strike from above.

The soldier who was carrying the supply I was after, was right below me, so I tried an air assassination on him, leaping from the ledge with my hidden blade extended, though he did not die.

I called my horse and escaped right away as the bodyguards became alerted. They were about to attack me with their heavy spears, but I managed to whistle for my mount and gallop away just as they put their weapons out.

I did not make much distance from them this time, as I wanted to keep the pressure on. I climbed up another roof nearby and started following them again, watching the group march nervously.

I noticed I was damaging my target visibly, even if it was just a little at a time. I was happy with this strategy, so I jumped on him again for another strike. The impact staggered him, and his guards shouted in frustration.

After escaping perfectly, I followed them again, and this time, Senu helped me significantly. She started distracting them while I jumped on my target again, taking advantage of the chaos she created to land a clean hit.

This time my targets got scared, so they ran to a distance so they could get away from me. They could not escape as I followed them through the alleys and I damaged them again, though I got hit this time during my escape.

Then I noticed my target along with two of his bodyguards ran into a fortress. It was heavily guarded by even more soldiers and was a restricted area for me. I stopped at the perimeter, realizing the mission had just become much more dangerous.
