RRH and N3O meet in the third round of Ultimate Conquest

Ashun and N3O, who lost to BDR in the second round of the competition, knew that another round of Ultimate Conquest was quickly approaching. As a result of their previous loss, they were placed in the losers' bracket. N3O found the match difficult because they were already in a challenging situation when it started. The leadership was being forced to make a decision they would not ordinarily make due to the costs of additional tough matches. They decided not to go all out if the contest didn't start well because they might have to deal with several strong alliances later on and would have to use up all of their resources until the final.

Ultimately, the way the match began was suitable for BDR, who controlled the majority of the buildings and set the pace of the battle. This ultimately forced N3O to declare the game over and a loss. Now that they were in the losing bracket, N3O would play RRH, an alliance they knew from previous tournaments and seasons. Under normal conditions, Ashun was confident that N3O could easily defeat them, but he also knew that if they were underestimated, they would do everything in their ability to pull off a surprise.

Inside the event, the Lannister and Targaryen sides battle it out in Ultimate Conquest over control of vital areas like Casterly Rock, Ports, Outposts, and Mines. New changes for this season include the alliance as a whole receiving strong bonuses from certain combinations of structures. According to their ranking, N3O was placed on the Lannister side for this match. Their opponents were to the Targaryen faction.

Limits on the number of fighters that can participate in the fight have also been added to the tournament; unlike in the regular season, only 70 out of 100 members are allowed to partake. Another modification was that, as opposed to the customary 30, only 25 people may reinforce a building at once. This was something that the leadership had to consider very seriously while selecting the team that would compete.

The leadership chose the fighters with most high tier troops and activity in events, all to ensure a smooth run for the match as any mistake could mean the end of the campaign, there was no room for rest, everyone had to focus entirely on what was ahead of them. When they decided on who will participate, the announcement had to be made, Ashun was awaiting it anxiously, not knowing if he was chosen given his poor form. However, whilst he was stressing out, every role for the present fighters as well as their spot on the map was announced, he was a part of the selected 70. With that out of the way, it was time to depart, everyone was on high spirits, anticipating a spectacular fight to begin.

The journey to the battlefield was charged with excitement, as each member of the team delved into their strategic preparations with fervor. The meticulous planning and innovative tactics discussed during council meetings brought a sense of anticipation to all. Ashun found joy in witnessing the enthusiasm and dedication of his comrades, their spirits lifted by the vibrant surroundings of blooming flowers and the melodic chirping of birds.

They were met by 62 RRH fighters who were eager to get started and prove to them why they belonged on the battlefield. For N3O, this sight meant only one thing: they had the numerical edge, a huge advantage for the war that lay ahead. This made things worse for RRH since they knew that as soon as they spotted the N3O force, tensions would increase. The total strength displayed by N3O's warriors was also amazing, since they appeared to be far more powerful than RRH even at first glance. The N3O combatants received the necessary assurance from this that the fight would not be as difficult as they had first anticipated. Now however, they have to focus on the plan, as the Outposts, Mother and Warrior were about to unlock.

As they unlocked, Ashun hurried as fast as he could in order to capture one of them. N3O had a great start with 3 out of 4 buildings captured, however, none was by Ashun's hand. The bad run of form continued to overshadow him, pushing him down further. The overall strategy however continued to work, as the swaps were flawless.

The initial worried forces of N3O were now calming down, as the match seemed to take a turn for the better for N3O. The not captured building was soon attacked by every rally leader available and captured without a hitch, whilst RRH was not making a move on any building that they could attack.

This all led to a long wait for the ports to unlock, a wait that for Ashun felt as if it was neverending. But as soon as the ports dropped their bubble, he rushed, more focused and faster than ever before, finally ensuring his highly desired capture. Thrilled by this sight, he was focused in order to not mess up the swap, which had come in an instant, managing to do it successfully.

As the ports were secured as well, it became clearer to N3O that RRH was not there to fight for the win, although many wished for an exciting fight, they were left disappointed. Ashun on the other hand, was more excited than ever, reaching his aim of winning a race. But he shouldn't stop just there, as Casterly Rock was about to lose its protection as well.

Once it dropped, all of the racers once again captured it within moments, this time it was Ana a that came out on top, but for Ashun that did not matter anymore, he was back in form in his opinion.

The swap went successfully, securing the victory for N3O and the progression towards the 4th round of Ultimate Conquest where they were going to face up against NFI. They are a strong foe to have to fight against, and Ashun and everyone else was aware of that. This made the port race even more important for Ashun, as he believed he needed it in order to be in good shape for the next match, where he will have to do the same. Will he be able to do it?
