A Young Lord of the Ancient Kingdoms Part 111 (Reaching the Maximum Rank! AOH)

The afternoon of that day descended slowly and peacefully, and the landscape offered absolute tranquility to anyone passing by and enjoying these last moments before a great weekend.

Our Lord, without any hurry, awaiting a grand event that always took place every weekend, reviewed photos and letters he had kept, laughing at the long moments and remembering the warmth of certain times in his past.

In doing so, he remembered his first friend, whom he made while exploring the world, and who, thanks to him, would now be in the alliance and have a group to return to and call home. That's right, his friend Atarasshi, who now went by the name AmaiAmai.

It had been a long time since he had fought alongside him in a purely exploratory capacity, except in the events of alliance battles, so after thinking about it for a while...

“For this grand Arena of Honor event, I will invite my good friend. I hope he will join our group,” our Lord thought, a faint smile playing on his lips as he looked at photos from the past.

A letter was quickly sent, and our Lord waited, already in formation with his friends DarkSama and QUEEN. He wasn't too hopeful that his friend would arrive, as the area where he was located was just awakening.

A few minutes later, doing his best and somewhat desperately, his friend AmaiAmai arrived. To everyone's surprise, his presence was a relief. Our Lord was pleased with his arrival; now all that remained was to register the other new participants and enter the battlefield.

So this time they would fight in the name of the STARK FACTION, and of course, as is now the case, alongside its respective counterpart, the GREYJOY FACTION.

Also on the great battlefield would be the LANNISTER FACTION, together with their copies, the BARATHEON FACTION.

And lastly there would be the Targaryen faction with its copies, the Tyrell faction

With these enemies already selected, the battle was going to be tough. Some former TWA members would be in the fight, and while they didn't exactly have much in common with our allies, they were still powerful. Among them was John Wick, a Lord who was a strong contender in the Infantry formation, and from another faction, there was CallMeNing, a powerful Lord in the Lancer formation.

The best option was to go with Infantry, and Atarasshi, who had superior Infantry stats to Queen, would be perfect to take Glory City Castle, which was their primary objective.

Now positioned for battle, this time they wouldn't gain or capture the castle in glory, because AmaiAmai would start by sending a small regiment to take the castle, which had practically no lord or anything of value. This worried our lord.

Because any potential attacks on the castle could be very damaging, since they would have a force to defend against them.

Our Lord quickly went to gather troops, and seeing that the enemies in the buildings were now spearmen, he decided to go with infantry, with the exception of two buildings where he switched to cavalry.

This was to counter the enemies' ultimate infantry compositions, allowing him to seize the towers and catapults without difficulty, unless one of them attacked with spearmen.

But something else would surprise our Lord…

I didn't understand how, but the Stark faction, which they were fighting for, had already taken two castles, both the Tyrell and the Baratheon, even though the castle in question didn't have a primary allegiance. It was something I didn't fully grasp.

But aside from figuring it out and realizing that time was of the essence and they could lose control of the castle, Queen and our Lord quickly split up to take each castle and prevent it from being seized by other factions or recaptured by their own. It was an opportunity that couldn't be missed.

The center quickly became the territory of our Lord's faction, but defense was no longer the priority; the task now was to build in order to capitalize on the captured buildings.

However, as soon as something went better, something else went wrong. Our Lord didn't have much support for the construction, yet the Glory Castle had already lost its shield.

Our Lord, who initially controlled the buildings, was losing them, but Atarasshi captured the Glory Castle, which was then quickly reinforced by everyone.

The buildings had stopped being upgraded; our Lord continued constructing them alone with his friends, and little by little, control of the towers and catapults was being lost. Our Lord wanted to quickly reverse what was happening.

Since the catapults were destroying and damaging 5% of the troops inside Glory Castle, and as he gradually lost control of them, the troops inside the castle were at greater risk of another force launching a powerful incursion and driving out his allies.

Even so, he defended himself very effectively, since the enemies had very powerful lords and it was difficult to hold them off. Having his friend in the castle was a relief, although it would require constant reinforcement.

Because many troops were being lost, he couldn't hold out for long without replacing them.

However, despite our Lord's efforts, holding the buildings proved very difficult. All that remained was to wait and continue replenishing troops, who fought within the castle walls to defend and secure a decisive victory and earn points.

Our Lord quickly switched places with DarkSama in the castle to capture one of the buildings: the Dragon Pits. These pits granted battle stats that would help reduce enemy attacks.

The attacks were relentless, and the constant flow of troops arriving at and leaving the hospital made it impossible to defend effectively or capture new structures.

Sometimes, our Lord's forces alone weren't enough to take or hold the dragon castle, so he had to organize another rally to recapture it. Even with the few participants he had, he still managed to surprisingly retake it.

While his friend AmaiAmai would lose the castle to a lancer at the last moment, this was because all the allied troops were severely weakened.

However, time would not be kind to the enemies, and this time it would work in favor of our champions.

With the clock ticking down to zero in just one minute, insufficient time for the enemy to capture the castle, our surprised allies collapsed to the ground after a tremendous battle.

"Damn... I thought we were going to die. There were too many of them..." DarkSama muttered.

"I know, but we still managed to secure the victory. I'm so exhausted I can't even celebrate..." our Lord replied, a satisfied expression on his face as he lay down on the ground.

And indeed, they emerged victorious, claiming all the emblems and securing a significant number of points for their triumph.

As a Result;

Our champions' Stark faction would take the overall victory with almost double the score, thanks to the point exchange building in one of the castles captured from the other factions.

AmaiAmai would reach the maximum rank of "King of Glory," a rank that the rest of our friends would now lack, but which our Lord and Queen will possibly reach first in the next round.

Recommendations;

I always mention this, and I will continue to do so: maintain constant reinforcements after each rally attack. It's good to calculate the arrival time, since whoever is holding the castle will always need the support of all their comrades to keep it standing.

And not only that, but also pay attention to the castle's constructions and bring the type of troops required and usually requested by the rally leaders. This will guarantee a better probability of winning the battle.

That's all for today!

Until next time!
