"The Great Wall" is the sixteenth chapter of the manga Assassin's Creed: Blade of Shao Jun written by Minoji Kurata.
Summary[]
Doctor Kaori Kagami holds Lisa at gunpoint and recounts her time at the Madrid facility and how a riot had broken out before she could investigate Shao Jun's memories further. The doors open and guards begin to force Lisa back into Animus.
Shao Jun sits alone and tends to her equipment until Xiao Hu attacks from above. Shao Jun easily counters it and critiques his technique. Meanwhile, both she and her apprentice talk about how the Mongols were amassing an attack on the Great Wall and they are led by Altan Khan. Surmising the Mongols' attack to be imminent, they leave for the Great Wall.
- Great Wall, China, 1532
A guard tells his patrol partner to make a report while he takes a note from an arrow loosed at the wall. However, Shao Jun stabs the guard and reads the note along with Xiao Hu. They learn the Mongols and Zhang Yong have become allies and Zhang Yong offers access to China in exchange for a new title in the Templar Order. Both Xiao Hu and Shao Jun notice the Mongols incoming and the gates below to be open. Below, a guard also sees the open gates and is taken hostage by Zhang Yong's men. Fortunately, Shao Jun dispatches both of Zhang Yong's guards and tells the Wall guard to close the gate. Moving to the next gate, she notices Zhang Yong waiting atop the tower.
