Arena of Honor Round 5 was about to begin; It was a competitive event where a minimum of seven and a maximum of ten players would team up to face off against other groups on a large map. Various buildings offering different strategic advantages were scattered throughout the map. For every minute these buildings remained under the control of a group, that group earned points. At the end of the hour-long battle, the group with the most points is declared the winner of that round and earns a certain amount of event currency that can then be exchanged for items in the event's special shop.

As usual, before the event began, SULTAN and his new team met to discuss strategy. They would use their usual tactics; A simple but feasible strategy. The plan was to establish cavalry centers on the first and second lines, prioritize capturing the Maiden Towers, seize the enemy's main strongholds, capture as many mines as possible, and attempt to capture the City of Victory if the opportunity arose. Victory City had always been a difficult target, so it was no longer a real priority, but a secondary objective to be pursued if the opportunity arose.

The timer has reached zero. The battle map has been opened. SULTAN entered the battlefield. He first examined his opponents; he was facing strong opponents again in the match. This would be his first battle with his new teammates, so everything had to go according to plan; otherwise, it wouldn't just be a defeat, they'd lose a lot of previously earned ranking points. He reminded his teammates of this again: sticking to the predetermined tactics and staying focused during the battle was extremely important, because they could only win this battle by fighting as a true team.

The timer has reached zero. The war has begun. Sultan and his teammates quickly captured the first line and began constructing cavalry buildings. Observing their opponents, Sultan saw that they were minutes behind; a significant advantage because capturing and constructing the second line would allow them to advance to the next stage even faster.

After completing the construction of the first line, he and his team quickly captured the second line and began building cavalry buildings. Meanwhile, the opposing teams had only just finished constructing the first line. He and his team made excellent use of their time advantage, completing the construction of the second line and rapidly advancing to the next stage. However, a single mistake could reverse this advantage, so focus was extremely critical.

Sultan made a crucial move, capturing the enemy's main fortress. He reinforced its defenses with additional troops from his teammates, earning his team points and propelling them to first place. However, this would only be temporary, as there were many other important fortresses with similar points; they needed to hold them all until the end of the war, requiring intense teamwork. He wholeheartedly believed his team could achieve this.

In the ongoing battle, his teammate captured the dragon pit before the enemy, and he and other teammates quickly sent reinforcements to the dragon pit. Holding onto the dragon pit would give them crucial combat bonuses, which would be extremely important. Enemy players began gathering to attack the dragon pit; attacks on the dragon pit were launched one after another in a short time. The team that successfully defended it was ready to move towards the victory fortress that would open in minutes.



Seconds after the victory fortress was opened, enemy teams engaged in a bloody battle, the victory fortress constantly changing hands, none yet able to fully defend it. Meanwhile, Sultan instructed his teammate Br0ly to initiate the rally and wait, because he wanted to create a strong defense against the initial waves of attacks by dealing a lot of damage while taking little damage himself when the opportune moment arrived.

When the moment arrived, he told his teammate br0ly to initiate the attack. Sultan was completely focused on the advancing rally. As the seconds passed, a drop of sweat fell from his forehead; he was nervous, unsure if they would succeed. Seconds later, the rally struck the victory castle, but it didn't have the desired effect. They took a lot of damage, but it was a powerful enough attack to drive the enemy out of the victory castle. Now, they had to defend the castle for 3 minutes.

At the same moment, two rally attacks launched by the enemy were rapidly advancing towards the victory fortress; he and his team had to defend the victory fortress at all costs, but things wouldn't be easy, as they hadn't had time to send reinforcements again, which meant risking everything, since they had already fallen to third place in the standings, a defeat here would make everything even more complicated.

Shortly afterward, two enemy rally attacks advanced one after the other on the victory fortress. As time passed, the tension he felt inside was reflected on his face. They had managed to get a few reinforcements, but he thought it wouldn't be enough. Minutes later, the first enemy attack reached the victory fortress. He and his team put up a strong defense against the first attack, routing the enemy rally attack. He was momentarily happy with the joy of their victory in the first defense, but when the second large enemy rally attack reached the victory fortress, all that joy instantly turned to disappointment. They suffered heavy losses and lost the victory fortress. He understood that they had to give up the victory fortress. They were going to try their luck in the mines.



With only 10 minutes left in the battle, the mines opened. Sultan and his teammates quickly seized them, and with each passing minute, they gained a high number of points from the mines, closing the gap to second place. However, the team in second place was also seizing mines, and the point difference gradually narrowed. But he and his team had more mines, which opened the door to second place for them in the final moments of the battle.

The timer reached zero, and he and his team, in an extremely difficult battle, managed to finish in second place by a small point difference thanks to critical moves they made in the mines in the final moments. He was disappointed because they could have done better, but the types of soldiers brought to the battle were wrong. Nevertheless, they fought their best and completed the arena of honor battle.
The Sultan learned a valuable lesson from this battle, understanding that he needed to participate with a better strategy and a more coordinated team. The experience he gained here enlightened him about what needed to be done in the next arena of honor battle.
See you at the next Arena of Honor battle :)
