N3O's first round in Alliance Conquest

The excitement and tension within N30 was palpable as they prepared for the first round of the 18th season of Alliance Conquest. With past triumphs under their belt, there was a sense of high expectation despite the setbacks of the previous season where they were eliminated prematurely. Many were still getting over the surprising results of their matches last season, but this time, they were driven by a fierce determination to learn from their mistakes and emerge stronger. For UrCandy, a skilled fighter who had joined N3O since a long time ago, earning many feats within their ranks, this season held special significance as he wanted to reach as high as they could alongside them once again. He has proven himself many times and now it was time for him and N3O to pose a threat to the crown.

In Alliance Conquest, the factions of Lannister and Targaryen fight for control of strategic locations like Casterly Rock, Ports, Outposts, and Mines. This season introduced new changes, where specific combinations of buildings granted powerful buffs to the entire alliance. N3O found themselves on the Targaryen side, determined by their ranking. Their opponents were on the Lannister side, and they aimed for a strong campaign to redeem themselves and secure a spot in the top 16 for the Ultimate Conquest where they would try to win it all. Under the experienced leadership of B3nni, they were motivated and focused on their goal.

UrCandy eagerly anticipated the challenge of the opening round, relishing his role as a rally leader, where he was vital in winning matches by keeping the important buildings for his alliance. Despite his bubbling excitement, he tried to maintain focus as he made his way to get informed about the current strategies that were discussed and reveal of the opponents.

Upon arriving at the information place, B3nni's expression hinted at a surprise. N3O's opponent for the first round was BDR, a formidable adversary that they were very familiar with, every time struggling to perform against them. This revelation dampened the alliance's initial excitement, realizing the tough battle ahead. N3O was understaffed, lacking their full team for the event, while BDR was prepared for a fierce fight. UrCandy felt a hit of demoralization, but his determination started increasing once more once he realised one thing, he could get more eliminations.

With preparations finalized, the fighters entered the battlefield, their demeanor starkly different from the confident group that they were before finding out about who their opponents were. The sight of BDR's formidable forces approaching drained their confidence further, casting a shadow over the once vibrant atmosphere and making the contest seem even harder to win.

Before the battle commenced, N3O marveled at BDR's overwhelming power. The sheer numbers and strength of their opponents seemed unconquerable. With only 91 accounts in their alliance, N3O realized victory was a distant hope against BDR's almost 100 fierce fighters. The before hopeful atmosphere has now turned fearful, with Casterly Rock's imposing walls seeming even grander.

Amidst this, UrCandy focused on the most crucial aspects that he could provide for the alliance, killing enemies and trying to race for the Outpost that he always manages to win. He was willing to push himself harder than ever, racing towards the furthest Outpost, intent on securing it for N3O. He had managed to do just that, in fact not only him but 3 other N3O members were successful in such captures. This was an incredible feat but it was short lived, as the first mistake arrived, N3O could not swap the Warrior.

The battle for the other buildings also ensued, with mixed results, as N3O lost the Mother as well now. This posed a threat to the Outpost which UrCandy was holding, but determined on having a good resistance force, he attempted his best to hold the building. Not long after, his stance has perished, tipping the scales against N3O even further.

As Ports opened, N3O knew they had to win the races if they wanted to stand even a bit of a chance against the incredible foe. But unfortunately for them, they were far from winning both ports, or even one for that matter. N3O has lost both ports, and is now waiting for BDR to swap the racers out, they are now in a dire situation, where if they couldn't intercept the swaps, they are going to guarantee their loss.

Even amidst this defeat with the ports, N3O had one more chance with Casterly Rock. UrCandy knew they needed to race for it flawlessly, but as the bubble dropped, his teammates had let him down. No one managed to capture the grand Castle. They now were watching BDR getting ready for yet another swap, one that would guarantee N3O's loss, as nothing will be left to do.

Despite the disappointment, N3O remained determined to bounce back in the following rounds. They knew the road ahead would be challenging, but they held onto the hope of reclaiming their glory in the Ultimate Conquest. As the dust settled on this first match, N3O stood resolved to rise again.
