Fervor and Flame: The Invasion of Kingdom 277 by ASura

On the evening of June 23, 2025, as twilight settled over the kingdoms, a direct message arrived in my inbox. It was from my trusted friend and teammate, NIGHTRIDER. He had spotted a rare and timely opportunity: two BDR enemies were actively attacking members of IcU. This could only mean one thing : they were fresh in fervor and for the next fifteen minutes, they were vulnerable, exposed, and killable.

I acted without hesitation. Within two minutes, I was online. I equipped my war gear, put on my war badges, activated a 75% march size boost, captured a hof lord to quickly execute it, as my Hall of Faces Army Boost was expired. Then, I took a L60 for extra army attack boost as well. With everything in place, I jumped to Kingdom 277. 

Kingdom 277 was largely populated by IcU, yet a small group from BDR had managed to establish dominance there as they had control over King’s Landing buffs. Among them stood the strongest player of the kingdom : Jouza. Fortunately for me, he happened to be offline at the time of my invasion.

That being said, even had he been online, the threat would have remained minimal. Jouza is quite known for being a strong infantry player, a troop that fares poorly against my cavalry-based setup. Unless I was caught without my lord, a solo attack from him would pose little danger, and his lord would most likely end up in my dungeon. This gave me just the window I needed to operate with confidence, striking where it hurt while the odds tilted in my favor.

My first target is Hattori Sai, the weaker of the two enemies. The second, Mr. Jackpute, would come next. The hunt had begun.

I began my assault with Hattori Sai. Using my sapphire dragon’s blockade ability, I trapped him on the spot : immobilized and entirely at my mercy for the next 13 minutes. As an infantry player, Hattori Sai stood little chance against me. The battle was swift and one-sided; I emerged victorious and captured his lord without much difficulty.

With the first target zeroed, I turned my attention to the next: Mr. Jackpute. But he had ported away! A quick scan of the surroundings yielded nothing, it seemed he had slipped away, until, thankfully, my teammates, who were closely following the unfolding events, managed to locate him. He hadn’t gone far; he was still near King’s Landing.

However, this second target would be trickier. Mr. Jackpute a player using a weakness spearmen lineup, is an inherent threat to my female cavalry lineup. The challenge was clear: this target would not fall as easily.

I launched my assault without hesitation, and while it ended in victory, the cost was tangible. Despite dealing nearly eight times more damage than I received, the clash was far from effortless.

Mr. Jackpute had a coherent defense, and on his wall were Jaime, Gorell, Arslan, Patelo, and Drake. It was a weakness defense, designed specifically to counter cavalry like mine. I attacked with a female cavalry lineup, deploying Daenerys, Cersei, Cassana, Leila, and Senelle. Though not optimized for countering spearmen, the synergy and speed of my lineup gave me a crucial edge.

And luck, as it happened, was on my side. My opponent’s defense, while theoretically dangerous as he’s defending with spears, was poorly structured. His strongest troops, his spears, had been positioned in the backline due to his use of an “infantry-cavalry” formation. That gave my cavalry the opening it needed, carving through frontline units that lacked the stats to withstand the assault. The result: devastating damage before his true defenses even had time to react.

Following my first victory, Mr. Jackpute ported away into the wilderness of the map. But unfinished business demanded closure, so we had to zero him! My teammates and I launched into a coordinated search, combing the terrain to track him down. It took just over a minute and thirty seconds, but luck once again tipped in our favor. He was found. I struck swiftly for a second time. This round, the fight was more balanced, the victory still mine, but at a lesser cost, with Jackpute suffering heavily damages once more.

Desperate, he ported away again, initiating a third game of cat and mouse. We were relentless. After nearly two minutes of sweeping the map, we located him once more. I moved in without hesitation. The final blow was decisive. Mr. Jackpute was reduced to ashes, his castle left a smoldering ruin in the aftermath of our relentless pursuit, and his lord was mine!

But glory comes at a price. My actions had drawn attention. BDR now knew I had taken down not one, but two of their players. The hunter had now become the hunted. Realizing the shift in tides, I began to hide myself, using random ports every ten seconds to avoid being tracked by chance or precision. A contact within BDR confirmed my fears: NIGHT KING, one of their top accounts, was now looking for me.

I stayed on the move, keeping up the evasive maneuvers for the remainder of my fervor. As the final seconds ticked away, I cast a protection bubble over my castle, securing myself against any retaliation. The battlefield had quieted… for now.
