Hearts Bound by Honor - [N0X] vs [mfa] - Alliance Conquest Season 22 Round 1

There's almost winter in Westeros and that means it's time for another event liked by most warriors to start, Alliance Conquest. [N0X] made an objective in the past seasons to get in the top 16 at the end of the 6 rounds of the season and qualify for Ultimate Conquest and they actually made their objective on the season 20 and while their first presence in the Ultimate Conquest didn't last too long as all the alliances there are very strong, they want to at least repeat the performance this season. With that in mind, on the months between the seasons the [N0X] council was very busy with helping the warriors improve their battle performance as well as recruiting new warriors for the upcoming season. Their roster is not as strong as it was at the begin of the last season but still managed to secure some strong warriors into their roster, like Balrum, ChristianOr and LordStrandli so their odds to get to Ultimate Conquest weren't looking bad at all. Once the preparations were done, Scythe, the queen of [N0X] registered the alliance for the first round and on that night, everyone eagerly waited to see who they are going to face. It didn't take long till the raven with the matchmaking arrived and as expected, the enemy is not going to be an easy one.

The enemy that Old Gods reserved for [N0X] was [mfa] alliance and multiple questions were raising, who is [mfa], how are they so strong in alliance score and flew under everyone's radar? That didn't discourage anyone in [N0X] as everyone was expecting a very strong opponent, so the [N0X] council stood down at the table and started gathering information's about [mfa]'s strongest warriors, what troops they main and also make a strategy on how they can be defeated. It was already evening when the strategy finally got completed and it was announced to every warrior in alliance to prepare accordingly and once that was done, everyone gathered together and headed to the battlefield. They arrived there just in time as the battlefield doors opened, and everyone started entering and placing their camps on exactly the positions assigned by the council. Probably tired of him not winning any races, the council upgraded Shado to the rally lead title together with LadyKnight, bad news for Shado as he just bought 2025 model of F1 flipflops and was completely ready to win every race. The attendance wasn't great for any of the alliances, with just a few seconds before the start there were 73 warriors for [N0X] and 71 warriors for [mfa], but them being in sorta equal numbers was still announcing a great fight. The fight started with the opening of the first 4 buildings, Tower of the Warriors, Temple of the Mother and both outposts and [N0X] had racers assigned for all of them.

The buildings got split equally within the 2 alliances, at least as numbers cause at important [mfa] managed to secure the most important ones, so it was up to [N0X] to recover them as quickly as possible. But before that, they had to swap their racers for some strong rally leads so the call was made for the swap, first on the close outpost and then on the far one.

The swaps were executed perfectly and once the 2 outposts were secured it was time for [N0X] to go on offensive and start recovering the buildings they lost on the initial races starting with the Temple of Mother. A wave of rallies was quickly assembled on the [N0X] side and after they were all filled and launched, they tried to take [mfa] by surprise with speeding up the rallies.

The speeding up took [mfa]'s reinforcers by surprise and [N0X] managed to secure the Temple of the mother. There was no time for celebrations as they're attention moved to the Tower of the Warrior and this time they decided to try and see if they can secure that with solo attacks. Shado decided to also give'it a go to the solos and see what he can do in terms of damage.

Despite not being able to win the fight, he did quite a lot of damage to ODe's forces there and that combined with the damage done by the other people that were soloing at the same time ended with the result [N0X] wanted, the Tower of the Warrior fell in their hands. With no building left on the battlefield it was time for [mfa] to go on the offensive and start organizing rallies to recover some of the buildings they've lost. First, they tried on the Temple of Mother, but facing Bearface wasn't an easy task for them, especially since they're rally timing was very off on the first wave and they hit at high intervals so there was enough time for [N0X] to refresh the reinforcements between hits. Despite their rally timing being off, they were looking like a strong force able to recover buildings and as the time passed, their rally timing got better and better and even managed to kick [N0X] from a few buildings. The race for Casterly Rock was on horizon and ODe was on a roll and managed to get the first occupying points but when they tried to swap one of their rallies leads in, HotepRa from [N0X] had his interception flip flops ready and managed to snipe the swap.

You'd think that secured the Casterly Rock for [N0X] right? Wrong, when [N0X] tried to swap one of their rally leads in, ODe from [mfa] was there to recover what he priorly lost. The battle for the CR went intense with swaps after swaps, rallies over rallies on both sides, it changed hands a few more times but ultimately [N0X] managed to secure'it for the rest of the battle. When the mines open, it was [mfa]'s last chance to win the round so they gave everything they had, but [N0X] was ready to defend them till the last soldier so a battle of epic proportions took place around the mines. Millions and millions of troops fall on both sides, but nobody wanted to give up, so they were just healing the troops and send them right back on the battlefield.

Despite all [mfa]'s efforts, [N0X] was more determined to win and didn't spare any healing or marching hastens on their road to victory. Excellent effort from both alliances but ultimately [N0X] is the one that leaves the battlefield with the win in their bags and hopes that they can continue winning in the upcoming rounds too. Will they be able to do so? We'll have to wait and see. See you all on the battlefield!
