Hazard KvK

In the midst of the war between the kingdoms, Lory found herself alone on a server without allies. She looked at the map. Everything was quiet... too quiet, the server she was on was losing. The enemies were too strong and numerous. The TIS, an alliance renowned for its power, were winning.

The conflict had been going on for hours, and was destined to see the defeat of the server Lory was on. During the night, many had fought and fallen. So many troops burned, resources, speed ups. But there was no way to win. But this KvK was special, Lord of Light's Glory. The rewards were considerable, merit and tokens increased. She couldn't help but try something.

Since morning, Lory had searched for castles to attack, but she had found only ashes. Past battles had already taken place and nothing remained. She had returned several times to search, but the result was always the same.

Then, during the afternoon, when hopes had faded, an enemy castle appeared. In King's Landing, right in front of her was a depleted castle with a power exceeding 2 billion. That player was holding King's Landing alone.

Lory, in her solitude, observed that castle and wondered how many troops it might have. The anti-scout was there specifically to leave her with more doubts and uncertainties. But King's Landing could be scouted. Since the land was teeming with very strong enemies, Lory prepared for battle anyway, hiding her troops.

Calmly and without being too noticed, she sent a scout to that city.

The scouts' report left Lory with a bitter taste in her mouth. He was a very strong infantry player. He had the same formation as her and many more T5s than her. There were 1.4m infantry troops but 1.1m T5s. A head-on clash could have been fatal. Her army size, even with a 75% buff, didn't exceed 1.6m, and that wall was very strong. The chances of failure were more than 80% according to her calculations.

But Lory thought,

"If his lord and his wall are there, who's left in his castle? How many troops?"

She began to calculate how much power 1.1m t5 could provide by adding the power of research and other troops, but the unknown was truly a mystery.

It could hold 20 million troops, and what if there was a garrison of horses to protect it?

Lory searched around the map but didn't see anyone from the opposing alliance who was undeterred. Sure, he could be further away, but where? The more time passed, the more that one chance to score points disappeared. That enemy could recall troops from the city, and she would no longer be able to attack the castle with that formation inside.

The decision had been made: a solo attack against the castle lordless.

Lory took her best commanders and assembled a powerful army, receiving a 75% buff, and now had 1.6 million soldiers ready to march. She decided to use Rhea instead of Jon, trying to imitate the formations of other powerful players. Even though she knew in her heart it was only a pale imitation.

Her heart began to beat faster.

Lory closed her eyes for a moment.

Could she do it? She opened her eyes and took one last look at the map.

Her troops were ready, but the cursor remained stuck over the Attack button.

A thousand thoughts raced through her mind.

What if she had a garrison?

What if enemy reinforcements arrived?

What if her army wasn't strong enough?

The silence in the room seemed heavier.

"I have to try or I'll never know."

No step back.

No doubt.1.6 million troops against an unknown number.

On the map, the troops began to move. A long line crossed enemy territory, running at full speed.

Lory held her breath and squinted. Every second seemed like an eternity. She didn't breathe until a small icon appeared at the bottom depicting a summary of the battle.

It wasn't just numbers anymore.

It was pride.

It was determination.

It was proof that Lory could launch a powerful solo attack.

During the battle, her power numbers began to drop rapidly, but they didn't drop too much. This gave her hope, and as the troops prepared to retreat, Lory quickly glanced at the report, seeing that she hadn't lost many troops.

Everything was hectic at that moment.

Heal. Replace the dead troops. Reform the army. Send the attacking troops back as quickly as possible. Before the player recalled their lord, before the enemies aided their comrade, before they surrounded her, before... before everything could fail and that single moment of glory and success could turn into a terrible failure. The action was so hectic that the enemy didn't have time to react. Lory sent her troops forward in a second, ferocious, lightning-fast attack, and this time, her eyes wide open, carefully observing the enemy's possible movements, she awaited the outcome of the battle.

This attack, too, was a success. The enemy troops not protected by the lord fell one by one.

Only the troops that was still holding in King's Landing would survive, but that was not a battle Lory could win. Now her troops returned triumphant, and she placed them safely within her walls and leaped away from that place, which would surely now be filled with enemies. Now far away and safe, Lory could observe and analyze the reports of that small battle, which, even if it hadn't changed the outcome of the war, had certainly left a mark of pride in her heart.
