After unlocking Toyotama region, many villages in Izuhara region were attacked and captured by the Mongol army. So before I really explore the Toyotoma region, I need to clear all of this Mongol from the Izuhara region.
I travelled to Aoi Village with my horse. Aoi Village is located in a beachside area. I saw black smoke coming out of the village. Then, I proceeded with my journey to Aoi Village.
When I reached the Aoi Village area, I saw a group of Mongols, guarding this particular house. I proceed my ride.
My presence was realized by a shieldman. He quickly running toward me. His sword and shield were ready to fight me. I took out my sword and ready to fight back.
It happened so quick. The shieldman meet his end.
While fighting some enemies outside, one of the enemies rushed into the house and tried to kill the hostage. So I chase his down into the house and protect the hostage inside.
More Mongols get inside the house to join the fight. I had to stand beside the hostage and fight for my victory.
The first hostage has been rescued, that being said, there were two more hostages need to be saved.
I moved to the second area, where they held the second hostage. Each area has been guarded by light infantry.
I kill two Mongol armies and quickly move on to the next enemy. I reached the shieldman and started a parrying battle against him. Just before the two dead bodies fell to the ground, I already dancing with the shieldman. That's indicates my skill has improved a lot.
The second hostage has been rescued.
Then, I moved on to the last hostage's location. It was located at the beach house. There were more Mongol guards in this final place.
While I was dealing with the other, the other came and started attacking the hostage.
Heavenly Strike really handy in a situation like this. Activating the skill makes me move faster to prevent the attacker from killing the hostage.
The last hostage has been rescued. So all three hostage have been rescued. This last farmer gave me a key that led to Gosaku's Armor. This key is calle Key of Aoi, one of the six keys. That's mean I need to find 5 more keys to acquired the complete key. This is thrilling!
After liberate the Aoi Village, I walk around to see the refugee's activities in this village.
It seems like this npc is tying up the broken items on the ground. She might found something usable.
This women kneeling and enjoy the view of the ocean that will relax her mind after all the rough thing she's been through.
While some women are already working on their traditional tools for processing paddy.
While others, carrying their baby. If it was real, what a bad time to have a baby.
This two gentlemen must be heating up something.
Meanwhile, there is someone working on the seaweeds.
I think this man is clearing up the barn.
Look at this watchtower. Standing still up there all day make just to make sure the village has eyes from the higher place.
I climbed up the watchtower and enjoy the excellent view from up there.
I can see Kijo Isle from up here clearly and beauty.
Before leaving I took some more screenshots until it's sunset. The NPC really active in this village. From what I see, when the sunset come, some NPC leave their works and went to the beach and start fishing. And the man on the watchtower get down and started to patrol around the village. It's fun to see what the NPC are doing.
So that's all for today, after liberate Aoi Village, I tried to capture as much of the beauty of Aoi Village as I possibly could. Thank you so much for your support, until next adventure! Have a nice day! Goodbye!
