The shadow in King's Landing...

Winter was beginning in the kingdom of K29, where snowflakes were starting to fall on the endless horizon. Latrasil, a warrior seasoned in a thousand battles, had arrived some time ago with his friend Vanette with a clear mission: to fight kingdom wars, expand their dominion in the kingdom, easily improving their castles as Ultimate Conquest was in its final stages and their respective alliances, RoD and WxD respectively, were advancing decisively, while GeN was in contact with their enemy alliance, BDR. At this critical point, any enemy casualty was a fatal blow as it reduced the alliance's forces in terms of resources and combat readiness. The pair of friends had arrived at K29 with a purpose, and they would stop at nothing.

It was under these circumstances that one day, while Latrasil was attacking rebel leaders in the vicinity of King's Landing, the most important city that stood as the heart of the kingdom, he came across a lonely and unprotected castle. There were no guards on the walls, with the GeN banner waving in the wind. The silence in the world chat made it even more disturbing and suspicious. Latrasil, with his keen instinct, knew that something was wrong. This was ZUMORITO's castle, so why was it there? The RoD warrior wondered as he continued his daily tasks. Could it be that they had decided to take revenge because he had taken their kingdom from them?

“A trap?” Vanette murmured, her voice low but tense, as she studied the horizon. The GeN wouldn't have thought of something like that on their own; they didn't have much experience in battle and made considerable mistakes. Therefore, the possibility that this situation was a trap to catch one of the warriors guarding the outskirts of that huge city seemed more likely.

Latrasil nodded, distrust etched on his face. GeN did not have warriors to attack directly, but their contacts made them dangerous, for they were formidable warriors with resources and strategies that could crush their adversaries in an instant. An attack here could further weaken GeN, which was already in decline, but it would also provoke the wrath of its king, who was in another kingdom, unleashing a greater conflict. Furthermore, the friction between them over control of K29 was complete madness, battles and clashes of ideas that triggered the war, and the tension could still be felt in the air like a thick fog.

The possibilities danced in Latrasil's mind like shadows on a bonfire:

Attack: Hit ZUMORITO quickly.

Retreat, avoiding a trap and preserving strength for future battles.

Investigate: Send spies or vassals to discover the enemy's true intentions.

Or perhaps these were just Latrasil's delusions and ZUMORITO had simply abandoned his castle. Vanette laughed out loud, told her friend he was overthinking things, and left to attend to her duties.

After silently pondering his friend's words, Latrasil decided to leave. It was not the time to rush into anything. Perhaps by the time he returned, the castle would have disappeared, lost in the woods like a ghost.

The hours passed. Latrasil's curiosity remained unquenched. He returned to his castle at nightfall to conduct his expeditions to the rebel leaders once again. And what he saw made up his mind: the castle was still unprotected and in the same place. Not a soul in sight. He sent his vassal to explore, and the result dispelled the doubts in his mind: there were more than 21 million soldiers in that castle, and his instincts screamed that this was an opportunity to earn rewards and merit.

The spears were sharpened. There was no time for hesitation.

Stealthily, the seasoned warrior rallied his closest vassal. The attack was swift and brutal. The castle's defenses were practically non-existent, and millions died in seconds. ZUMORITO would surely be surprised when he saw the disaster at his castle; his soldiers had no chance to react. Latrasil himself led the attack, his spears cutting through the air with a battle cry, destroying the enemy castle as if it were a training exercise.

The castle with fallen walls was transported to a random location, as this happened if the defeat occurred in the tree zone of King's Landing. The attacking warrior's vassal, however, had tracked it down with a rally. And he quickly found it still nearby in the Crownlands in Blackwater Bay, equally unprotected. Latrasil launched a second assault that was just as devastating as the first, if not worse. By the third attack, ZUMORITO had been captured and his castle lay in flames. The rumor spread like wildfire in K29: Latrasil had dismantled Zumorito, and everyone had to be protected to take care of their castles. All those ideas that Latrasil had generated were nothing more than mere suspicions.

Latrasil smiled, a mixture of adrenaline and caution. He knew that this would not end here, more wars were coming, and he was growing stronger to face each war in its own time...
