Road to Glory - Arena of Honor Season 4 Round 5

As the autumn approaches Westeros, the season 4 of Arena of Honor is progressing and [N0X]LadyKnight and the team are getting closer and closer to the Glory King rank. While getting there it's not such a hard task for them, keeping 'it for the whole season might be a close to impossible task as the season progresses the team will have to face stronger and stronger enemies and defeating them might prove challenging. LadyKnight is taking each round very seriously and despite round 5 happening just 1 week after round 4 instead of 2 weeks as per usual, she used every second of that time to try and improve her battle stats, troops and dragons. She managed to get a few upgrades just in time, as the days passed quickly and it was already Sunday morning and time for her to head to the Arena of Honor battlefield. Once she arrived there, she signed the pre-registration papers and after Tominy registered the team they all waited patiently for the matchmaking to be completed by the Old Gods.

It didn't take long for the matchmaking to conclude, and the battlefield doors opened for everyone to step in and see what the odds reserved them for this fight. For the Fantastic 10 team, it was another fight on the Targaryen side, so they headed to the South-West forests on the battlefield where the House Targaryen's clan castle is located. Once they arrived there, everyone set their camps around the castle and last-minute strategies were discussed. LadyKnight used a few of those minutes to also check on their enemies and see what they are up to, did they invite very strong teams, will this be a very hard fight? question that will be answered once the scouts return

Once the scouts returned, their reports were quite worrying as there were a few houses that invited teams that could match the Fantastic 10 in strength and their force combined might cause troubles later into the battle. The teams that needed an eye kept on them at all times were the House Greyjoy's team led by KingGoran and Black Bear and the House Stark team led by Minity. The time for strategies was over as the fight started and the strongholds dropped their protection bubbles and as always, as soon as the bubble drops everyone sends all their troops to occupy and then build the strongholds.

Once the occupation time passed, it was time for the construction to begin and Tominy choose to go with military camps once again to try and keep the catapults under control and make keeping the City of Glory easier and with the enemies they were facing, any advantage will be useful, however House Stark decided to challenge that advantage and also went with military camps while the rest of the houses decided to go via trading posts route. The strongholds finished building just in time as the altars started dropping their bubbles and the actual fight began. The team was looking to occupy as many altars as possible, and they sent their spearheads, ImperialRock and light Yagami to try and occupy the enemy altars while the rest of the team tried to keep the Targaryen's altars under control. The other houses didn't want to simply let their altars go so it didn't take long for ImperialRock's altar to come under siege, so he asked for reinforcements to tank the upcoming rallies.

House Stark should've known better than to challenge ImperialRock as their rallies got decimated within seconds and the altar went into House Targaryen's possession after a few minutes. However, there was no time for celebration as more and more altars opened that required the team attention. Beside reinforcing others, LadyKnight was also looking for targets she could solo and while there weren't too many warriors of her level on the battlefield, scouting started to pay off soon enough.

She managed to catch chelino's bows on the wrong foot and her spears kicked them out and managed to take another altar for House Targaryen. As they approached the middle of the fight, the battle for altars had to be put aside for now, as the City of Glory was about to drop the bubble and with so many strong enemies and without catapults, the city will require all their attention if they want to win this round.

As always, ImperialRock took up to the challenge and quickly kicked the neutral NPCs from the city with a solo attack and then everyone in the team reinforced and braced for impact. And the impact didn't let them wait, as all the other houses started rallies to try and stop House Targaryen from winning. Minity and NIGHT KING, KingGoran and Black Bear were among the strongest enemies, so the city had to be fully reinforced for fight those rallies, however without catapults, every minute the city of glory was hit and 5% of the troops inside killed so the members had to reinforce between catapults hits too not just between rallies. Despite having more than 10 million troops under his command, the vale where the City of Glory was located was quite narrow and only like 6 million troops were able to fight at once for defenders while the attackers had room to hit with their rallies in quick sequence. Once the rallies started hitting you could hear the valyrian steel weapons clashing from far away, soldiers were giving their life on both sides and the snow around the city was quickly turning red.

The rallies were hitting relentlessly without any breaks and that gave the fantastic 10 team a very hard time reinforcing after every rally wave and after catapults hits, but they did 'it valiantly and despite continuously rallying and even managing to break the House Targaryen defenses a few times, ImperialRock's strength combined with on point reinforcements coming from the team managed to secure the City of Glory with just a few minutes left from the round.

That secured the win for the team in one of the hardest fought rounds they had on this season. Very well-deserved win for everyone, as they gave their heart and soul on the battlefield and ultimately, they got rewarded. Happy with yet another win and getting very close to the Glory King rank now, LadyKnight took the rewards and the fame points and went back to the [N0X] castle. One question remains; will she and the team be able to keep the winning streak going? We'll all have to wait and see. See you all on the battlefield!
