SIR ST's last opponent of the AC season

SIR ST was eager to win in the last round of the Alliance Conquest regular season. The reason for it was simple: the goal of reaching 3 victories this season was not yet reached. He is one of the strongest warriors of VME, an alliance that vowed to participate in the Ultimate Conquest, a competition where only 16 alliance can partake, however, despite an incredible start of the season where they had 2 victories in the first rounds, they remained at the same number. All of the matches that followed were defeats but incredibly close in terms of result. This is the reason why VME would sadly not be able to qualify for their goal, but the warriors still kept their spirits high.

Everyone saw that they could hold their own, and now only needed to secure a third victory for greater rewards this season. SIR ST was of the same mindset, he wanted VME to end the season with a great victory and to then shift his focus onto the next events to come. He hoped that Vernei, the strategist of the alliance, would keep his focus and lead the alliance just like he always did, flawlessly.

The opponents for the round were an alliance that they knew very well from their Siege of Winterfell season, 7FD. VME had defeated them there, and this was a great morale boost ahead of the fight. They knew that VME goes in with the first chance, but at the same time, they did not want to be overconfident in their abilities. Doing so would bring about failure, that is what SIR ST always believed.

Their opponents still held great participation and strength, any misstep would lead VME to a struggle that Vernei wished to avoid at all costs as the strategist and leader.

In VME's strategy, SIR ST was going to be the slow marcher on 3 of the buildings, the closest outpost, the closest port, and Casterly Rock. This was not only in case that VME lost the race, but also if needed, to swap him inside the building. This was going to be the aim for a building like Casterly Rock, as SIR ST's strength was needed to secure one of the more important strongholds.

One other important part of VME's strategy was the racing, this was the one way that they could ensure getting an early advantage over their opponents. There was little to no room for mistakes when breaking down races at this level. When they had begun 7FD showcased their proficiency and why they were at this level of fighting, they had secured two buildings, just like VME did. The start was balanced, and so was the number of warriors brought to the battlefield.

As the battle continued, VME and 7FD both swapped the holders of buildings, and were successful in doing so. Vernei was pleasantly surprised to see that their opponent was well-versed in the strategies of the event.

Neither alliance pushed forward, with even SIR ST staying on the sidelines until the next buildings unlocked: the ports. They were buildings not providing buffs, however, their points per minute were more than enough to make them incredibly good to hold. When the races began this time around, VME showcased an improvement compared to previously. They were not equally matched anymore, they dominated. Both of the ports were obtained by them without any hassle.

SIR ST was surprised of the races, and happy at the same time. He wondered if he would be swapped inside one of the ports, but Vernei denied the opportunity, he wanted SIR ST inside the Casterly Rock. Vernei knew that SIR ST's strength was vital to be had there, either intercepting or holding.

Once Casterly Rock unlocked, VME was in for a great surprise. They were not the only side whose racers could improve in the moment, 7FD's fastest racer, chrysaors, had outdone himself, with such a fast race that no one could believe their eyes. However, VME knew that a swap was coming. SIR ST and his comrades were ready to intercept it.

They did not have to wait for long, 7FD tried anticipating the interception, and sped up their slow marcher, only to be caught off-guard by one of VME's best: Kanayoness. She had been flawless, watching the enemy march carefully, and making no mistakes in her judgement, she was now holding Casterly Rock.

With Casterly Rock secured as well, it was time for VME to try and clear up the enemy buildings from the battlefield. SIR ST was not holding any building, thus he decided to wreck havoc among the enemy ranks and push for an almost perfect victory for the final round. His solo attacks were relentless, showcasing why his strength mattered a lot for the alliance. He could achieve with a solo attack more than others with a fully equipped rally.

In the end, 7FD had not done as well as Vernei nor SIR ST expected them to do, but it was for the better. This secured VME their third victory without much of a hassle, and pushed them to start focusing onto the new challenges waiting ahead: other events, as well as a new upcoming Alliance Conquest season, where VME will once again push for the top 16.
