In danger! - Invading K94

I was about to make a big mistake, for the third time. I had received coordinates of an unprotected castle in an extremely dangerous kingdom, but I was in a somewhat complicated situation, which forced me to think twice before making any decision.

I usually carry out my invasions with fewer than 3 million troops, and after each attack, I can hide everything in the shelter and with fake rallies without any problem. Besides being a sufficient number for an invasion, it helps me avoid any surprise attack that could wipe out my army. But this time I was in a different scenario… the new Champion City Siege season is this Sunday, and I trained nearly 10 million troops specifically for it, so launching attacks, especially against a powerful alliance in a dangerous kingdom, could cost me everything I had built over the past weeks.

The target had a name: Filipy. A castle with a bow formation and mixed troops that would grant nearly 30 million merit points to anyone brave enough to carry out those attacks. I was ready; I wanted to do it. My friends warned me about the level of danger, but I believed that if I were fast enough, I would succeed.

Before anything else, I sent a scout to that kingdom with the goal of gathering important information. I needed to know who was online, who was in battle gear, and whether Av0 had a defense tower available. That needed to be a calculated and fast operation.

My relationship with those people is a little bit complicated. I had already invaded their kingdom and attacked Av0 several times, which resulted in strong retaliation when Ganicus invaded and attacked my alliance a short time ago. After that, I knew they would punish me or my allies whenever they could or after my invasions. The truth is that their patience with me had run out, and I was certain that they would not miss the chance to attack me if I dared to invade them again. At that moment, both Ganicus and Espartaco were threats, not only Ganicus, as in my previous invasions.

I was very afraid. Not because I was attacking the alliance of Ganicus and Espartaco, but because I was full of troops, and if I was attacked, I would need weeks to recover. That made the atmosphere much more tense and dramatic. But knowing the size of the reward, I decided that I would take the risk and do it. I just had to be fast enough to hide all the troops after the attacks.

I prepared my preset, activated all buffs, took a level 60 lord to add more battle stats, and then I took a deep breath. I do not know why I was so scared. I usually tell myself: ‘’Brother, it's just pixels, go have fun!’’ And after a few minutes, I jumped to kingdom 94 and launched the first attack against Filipy.

The first attack was a surprise. I thought it would cost me much more, but I lost far fewer troops than expected. Filipy was defending with a mixed formation, not a pure bow formation as I had assumed. Even so, I lost nearly 120 thousand men in battle. The large number of T4 troops made the fight a bit more difficult for my army, but the result was still a success, with more than 4.6 million troops eliminated and 7.17 million merit points earned. Filipy was very vulnerable, with no base attack or battle gear to support his defense.

And in that instant, I was sure that Av0 knew I was there. I started changing my location frequently. It was too late to regret and stop the attacks. I sent a new and quick attack on Filipy.

On the second attack, the difference was bigger. The wall was already broken, and a large part of the defending troops had already fallen. This time, I lost 88 thousand soldiers only, still a significant number, but far more acceptable than the first impact. Filipy lost even more troops, and I could feel it was working. In that attack, 7.7 million troops were eliminated, more than half of the defending forces. After checking the result of that impact, I launched the third attack, this time with much more speed to avoid getting caught.

On the third attack, I was already right on the edge between being the danger and being in danger. I was changing my location constantly, trying not to leave a trail, trying to keep attacking without giving them time to catch me. The tension and suspense were high. And one more time, my troops came back with almost 5 million enemy soldiers eliminated.

Filipy still had some troops remaining inside his castle, so I removed the dragon skill ‘’reroute’’ and attacked for the fourth and last time.

After a lot of tension, that invasion was finally over. After the fourth attack, I was terrified. Espartaco had changed his location, and I had no idea whether he knew where I was or not. I had less than a minute to hide all my troops, and it worked.

Once again, I had invaded that kingdom and made it out unharmed. I know this is not something that happens often, and that pulling this off three times is pure luck. On the other hand, I know that Av0 is not good at managing bubbles, and I will likely be back here again soon, but I have no idea how long I can keep doing this and survive. But one thing is certain: some invasions are truly breathtaking ^^

Thank you for reading this far!
