first defeat?

For many, he started the war with the first attack on a member of WxD. Ganicus had previously reinforced that alliance for events such as Ultimate Conquest and Siege of Winterfell. After that first attack, there were some negotiations between those who knew him. But everything exploded again when he attacked a member of RoD in K86. He had that tag, so for him, it wasn't WxD. But they indicated that he belonged to their alliance. And to avoid further drama, he preferred to break off relations. He was hunting, he couldn't be guessing which people belonged to which alliance.

He preferred to stay in that kingdom for a few days. He had seen others lose their bubble in previous days, but that was during a truce. Now things were different, and he would wait for the right moment to attack again. Without much delay, two more bubbles fell, and he annihilated all their troops. This further inflamed the relationship between the two sides. 

They tried to lure him into a trap, with a castle without a bubble, but Ganicus, thanks to the people behind him, spotted other warriors who were hiding, surely reinforcing the one who appeared to be unprotected. The enemy's movements were quite obvious. Their desperation to hunt him down caused them to make mistakes.

In the same hive where it all began, another bubble fell. “Another absurd trap,” he thought immediately. He paid little attention to them for most of the day. Although the castle was unprotected, it had the lord and was dressed in combat armor. Striking ALONE would mean losing the lord immediately.

Hours passed and the castle was still without a bubble, which seemed strange. But it had anti-scout, which was certainly striking, as an unprotected castle rarely has that. He began to search for the other members of the alliance who were in that kingdom and located them all in a short time.

He began talking to his alliance partners. His intention was to attack with a rally. But there was a problem: most of those who were available had a lot of troops. If they jumped, they could support him, but they would be easy targets for all the other enemies, who could attack them perfectly in SOLO. And the only ones who would win would be them.

Time continued to pass, and the castle still had no bubble. The only solution they found was for Ganicus to join AV0's alternate alliance, AV2. There he would have the support of other vassals. Although the dragons were not very strong and none of them had T4 troops, they could send T4. The rally would be cavalry. So they began to organize. All those who support him will jump at the last moment, so as to avoid losing a scroll if the target decides to raise his bubble.

Ganicus positioned himself to the south, between one of the roads between Kings Landing and Highgarden. He began his cavalry rally. After taking a look at the armor, he believed that the castle would defend with infantry. After more than two minutes had passed and seeing the arrival of one of the reinforcements, the AV0 warrior was blocked. At the same time, three other WxD warriors began to reinforce the one who was about to be attacked. Seeing that there was only one minute left, Ganicus ordered his vassals to jump immediately and send the cavalry to the rally. 

Anticipating what might happen, he also hid part of his troops in a fake rally he staged with the apprentice and also in the shelter.

As soon as the rally left the castle, it was accelerated with speed up. The blow came in a matter of seconds. It was not he who noticed it at first, but one of his vassals. “We have lost, and the lord is a prisoner.” Ganicus did not even heal, as the enemies were now launching a counterattack with another rally. He took care to hide the troops, sending them to collection nodes as far away as possible, and then brought them back so they wouldn't be hunted, but the time it would take to march back to the castle would be longer than his fervor would last. All that remained was to wait for the attack, immobile in the face of the blue dragon's blockade. The members of WxD also sped up the rally, but they were only able to obtain a few resources. He then placed a bubble while his lord was still trapped. He would wait an hour to start another rally, but after that time, the enemy decided to protect themselves, unwilling to suffer another attack. The vassals of AV0 left the kingdom as soon as possible.

The war was beginning, and although his lord had been lost in the attack and it could be considered a defeat, after that rally the enemy had lost more than three hundred million in power. For him and the members of AV0, it was a painful victory. The enemy had lost more troops than they had. And the decision not to go with members of the alliance had been the right one. With Ganicus without his lord and with the abundance of blue dragons in that kingdom, they were able to avoid a massacre. The war would continue for him, but now his objectives would be outside K86.
