RoD's challenges in UC continue

It had been an interesting season thus far for RoD, in their second season of Alliance Conquest together as an alliance, they had experienced some ups and downs but thanks to their efforts and teamwork, as well as the great leadership of B3nni inside the event, they had always come out stronger. This season they only had one defeat against reigning champions BDR, and they made use of every fight to improve. During that match multiple weaknesses were revealed, and B3nni made it his mission to achieve perfection with the team.

However, the mission to achieve such a goal was unrealistic, a fact which he realised once Ultimate Conquest had begun. Slowly during their first match of that competition he had come to see that no matter how hard everyone tried, one slight mistake would prevent them from having a perfect match. Now, B3nni's goal had changed, perfection was not to be chased, but instead they had to work on improving their reactions when a mistake was committed.

Unlike Alliance Conquest, RoD knew exactly who they were going to face against with days ahead of time, giving both alliances enough time to prepare special strategies to overwhelm their opponent. This round, RoD was going to face against one of their allies, HD!, an evergrowing force on the battlefields of Westeros who typically does not go down easily, as their aim is the top 5 of the ladder. A goal lower than RoD's, but a very calculated one, which shows how cunning they are as a group.

B3nni was highly familiar with the way that HD! fought, and what troop type their strongest warriors used. Thus his tactic for this match was going to be just to put a counter for their strongest warriors in every building. But before that, races had to be won, this was a critical part of every match, and also the one where RoD struggled the most at the start of every round, as it come to mind, that they did not have enough of them, but B3nni had finished some recruiting ahead of this match, they had more racers than ever before ahead of this match.

As the battle began, it seemed as though that racing was not going to be a problem this time around. All of the inital buildings were captured without a mistake from the RoD racers, a sign that B3nni's choice was correct, and that numbers help you capture the buildings more easily. However, a harder part was coming in their path, HD! were great at intercepting swaps, whilst RoD struggled with it quite a bit this season...

The first swaps were perfect, HD! tried their best to intercept, but the reinforcements of RoD were just one step ahead of the curve, sending everything timed at the exact milisecond needed to arrive. However, it was not the same for all of the swaps, as HD! managed to intercept the closest outpost, and hang onto any chance they could grasp.

When the ports unlocked, it was a repetition of the same scenario all over again, with RoD winning the races, making B3nni proud, but the swaps not always being done the right way, allowing HD! to this time intercept the close port. Seeing this, B3nni knew that he should not give any more chances to his opponents, even though they were allies, RoD was not going to go easy on them.

This led to solo attacks on the enemy outpost, until the reinforcements of HD! could not hold the building anymore, with now leaving only the far port for the taking, which was still under a protective bubble, for the time being.

HD! was not staying idle, as they rushed to capture the outpost closest to RoD, only to be denied again and again, no matter how hard they tried. And now, it was RoD's turn to be aggressive, and with the rallies filled and sped within minutes, the port of HD! collapsed.

Now RoD was holding onto all of the buildings, no chance for HD! to bounce back in sight, other than the capture of the most important building on the map: Casterly Rock. But RoD was not going to give it up without a challenge, and HD! knew that very well, but even if they were going to lose the race HD! believed that they could intercept again on the swap.

The outcome of the race was undeniable, with RoD capturing it, demonstrating their total domination on this area over HD!. However, HD! was ready for the swap, analysing everyone that was marching towards Casterly Rock closely, "who will it be?" they all asked themselves, but when they looked in the distance, they saw B3nni, smiling from ear to ear: "We don't swap, we can hold with this racer, he is strong.".

This outcome crushed HD!'s hopes and the battle had come to an end unexpectedly, HD! had given up prematurely.

The match had shown B3nni more than just RoD's strength in racing, but that they are capable of adapting perfectly fine and surprise the opponent whenever needed. HD! pushed them on the swaps, but they had overcome it, deepening the trust between the members of the alliance and B3nni, whilst raising their hopes of reigning over everyone at the end of the season.
