Ashun on his path to Ultimate Conquest

Winning Ultimate Conquest was what drove RoD to perform their best against any opponent in the Alliance Conquest season. Their goal even though this was their first season together, was to obtain the title that all alliances aspire to obtain. It was without saying the toughest goal there is, but that did not scare any of their warriors away, instead it did quite the opposite. Everyone was eager to win the competition and do their best in doing so. Ashun was one of the members most driven by this goal, as he wished to achieve the pinnacle at least once in his career alongside his dear friends.

The path for this goal started rough in their first match together, with a loss against the opponents for the title: BDR. But since then, RoD had improved constantly and this round in particular was no exception, they were going to get even better for the challenges ahead of them.

Ashun was one of the racers of the team, usually he would be winning buildings often, but thus far he has had no luck. He wished to change that moving forward, and was not letting the loses of the past get to him. He was of a mindset that every hardship, no matter how bad it was, could be overcome with enough dedication.

As the opponent for the next round got revealed, he was nothing short of happy to see that it was going to be a real challenge for his races. They were facing an alliance which they knew very well, due to their allegiance to BDR, and this was enough reason for RoD to want to crush them without giving a chance at winning.

Ashun knew that in order to crush the opposition, he needed to win the races, everyone else needed to do so as well, but it was a tough feat to achieve. All of the racers of N0X were highly experienced, and not only that, as Ashun noticed a few familiar names: Grombold, NIGHTKING and Makima of BDR were inside the N0X roster for this round. They were incredibly strong warriors, but also very fast if they wished to test their prowess against RoD.

This prospect was enough for N0X to pose a threat to RoD's maximum amount of points that they could reach, but also to the buildings as those rally leaders of BDR were ready to push for elimination points, every time that RoD would reinforce a building, N0X would make their life hell with solo attacks.

That possibility did not scare B3nni away from the usual approach. He is the strategist of RoD and the one who has utmost faith on the capabilities of the alliance. Ashun respected him greatly and under his leadership he knew that he was in good hands ahead of the match.

Ashun's races were going to be only 2 this match, as he would not attempt to go for Casterly Rock this time around. His timer for the building was pretty poor, and he opted to only watch from afar. The first target was going to be the near outpost, a building which he usually does not race for, it was a new experience but that did not change what had to happen from his side, it was all the same in that regard.

Once the races have begun, RoD racers overall other than Ashun, took it easy, and it showed, with only 2 buildings from the initial 4 being captured, however, Ashun managed to obtain his. Right after capturing the building, an issue became imminent: there was no slow march from RoD, the building had to be hard-swapped, a tough call during a match as possibly tense as this one.

But the call for a swap was made nonetheless, and Ashun used his experience to the best of his abilities, exactly the same as B3nni, who decided to be the one to obtain the building for himself. Once Ashun disbanded, N0X saw immediately and rushed to its capture, but B3nni was too swift, too quick on his feet to care about such matters, and thus they had swapped him in flawlessly.

N0X had failed 1 of their own swaps, and the other outpost fell to rallies, the match was looking grim for them, but this was when the BDR rally leaders came into play. They started soloing as hard as they could, to try and up the pressure on RoD, but it was all in vain. All of their solo attacks bounced off in a surprising outcome. N0X seemed to be destined to lose this match.

When the next races came, Ashun was ready to win his, he knew it would be his last for this match and thus he had to focus on winning the port no matter what it cost. And as the bubble dropped, he was unstoppable, he unleashed a speed that he was never before capable of, in a matter of a few seconds, he had captured the port. RoD had obtained both of them and showcased even more domination as the rally leaders were swapped inside and buildings secured.

Ashun was impressed at the swaps of this match, they were all perfect against an opponent who knows very well how to intercept and also how to race. This was showcasing that the training RoD has been through was great and they were making a lot of progress.

When the last race for Casterly Rock came around, it felt more like a formality than anything else, as the N0X forces seemed to have just accepted the defeat and once the bubble dropped, they were barely trying to win. This resulted in a flawless capture of the building for RoD, and securing their victory.

Ashun was happy beyond belief to see the swaps work out that well for his alliance, as well as his victorious races. This was a sign in his eyes that everything was going to get better for the alliance as the season goes on, and could ultimately reach their goal of winning Ultimate Conquest.

The third round had come to an end with a victory, but the fourth round awaited RoD with an incredible threat: a rematch against BDR. It was going to be an all-in match for both sides, the victor would have the only chance at winning the first spot in the rankings for the regular season. The stakes were high and Ashun was eager for the contest to begin.
