Preparing for the final!

The preparations for the final of the Ultimate Conquest tournament were in full swing, with dreams of winning the competition against BDR, who managed to defeat RoD twice, UrCandy was going to do everything in his power to obtain an advantage over the opponents.

The two encounters between the two alliances were fierce, showing that the smallest of mistakes could bring it to a loss for either side, and that was when UrCandy got a brilliant idea: hunting BDR members outside of the event to ensure a loss in their troops and resources ahead of the final.

That strategy is what he is doing best, with his strength, speed and cunning strategy, he always obtained merit that brought him on top of the ladder. He knew how to keep track of the BDR members and any mistake would be punished without any hesitation.

Hearing this plan, RoD was thrilled to offer their help with the scouting, after all, the more people searched, the higher the chance of a good outcome to happen and boost the chance of a victory in the finals. However, even if they were to succeed on a few members here and there, BDR would swap them out of the participating roster, meaning a simple but harsh fact: the target needed to not be a rally filler or reinforcer, instead, the one targeted needed to be a rally leader.

This factor made the search even harder, as the possibilities were limited, and most of BDR's strongest were in the same kingdom, making the risk all that much greater. UrCandy was embracing that very risk, and the costs it could bring, he was ready to pay and risk it all, just for what someone would call a simple victory in the finals of an event that did not matter much for many in Westeros. However for RoD, it was more than just a simple match, it was a testament against their biggest rivals, a victory against the ones that they've dueled with for years, and even allied in dire times. It was to show that despite multiple failures of the past, they could still compete in this competition and triumph at the end.

The search that followed was intense, traversing many kingdoms over and over, multiple times a day for a few weeks, close to giving up all hope of finding a target. "Everyone in their alliance must be on alert, just like us." were the thoughts that came to every RoD's member's brain. But when all that search seemed hopeless and only became a routine, the inevitable happened: a rally leader of BDR dropped his bubble right as RoD looked at his castle. It was not a big rally leader, but he was just enough to weaken BDR should it come down to it, TyrionLanstr was going to get attacked by RoD.

The RoD members were in a hurry, trying to find UrCandy and alert him of the bubble drop. But to their surprise, he was nowhere to be found. Everyone got desperate, "Where could he be in such a time of need?", "Are we going to waste this opportunity and come to regret it later during the match?", many such thoughts crossed through everyone's heads, but as they looked upon TyrionLanstr once more, there he was, with his castle burning.

An alert came through the ravens set up by the Old Gods, "UrCandy has attacked TyrionLanstr's city", making everyone realise why they could not find him, he was already on his way, and more ready to strike than anyone else in the alliance.

The first hit was a shocking result, TyrionLanstr's cavalry although strong, could not hold against such a monstrous strength, at least not in his rebel gear. He was not equipped to fight, no bubble, not online, everything lined up perfectly for UrCandy, and awfully for TyrionLanstr, who just in the first attack lost most of his troops, with a second already on the way...

The second attack was just as striking, if not even better for UrCandy, whose losses were almost nonexistent. The dead troops piled inside the castle, leaving only a few soldiers alive, who were begging for mercy, but would receive none. This long search showed UrCandy to be merciless, any troops left alive could be a deterrent in the future, especially with how rare of an occassion it is for a rally leader to drop their bubble.

After the fervor effect ended and UrCandy went back into safety, unable to be chased down by the BDR guards, he wanted to reflect on what happened, as every bit of information this small adventure provided could be vital for the days to come, where everyone was going to be even more wary and ready, perhaps creating traps across the many Kingdoms just to catch UrCandy or any RoD willing to adventure just as recklessly.

UrCandy knew this could be the only chance he had to zero someone ahead of the finals, and he was proud to have taken it, but it was time to alert everyone in RoD to stay safe, no one knew when BDR was going to strike back after all...
