The failed revenge - K515

My personal pursuit of revenge was insatiable. A few weeks ago, I left the TFI alliance in the worst possible way, but with a promise that I would attack their players whenever an opportunity appeared, without exception, even players who used to be my friends. Since then, I have kept my eyes open day and night in that kingdom, searching for any window of opportunity, and I knew that soon I would have my chance to bring fury and fire to Kingdom 515.

I was actively carrying out new invasions, and at all times, I tried to make sure I had enough troops and resources to invade TFI as soon as a target appeared on my radar. I wanted to be certain that if I was suddenly given coordinates, I would be ready to act myself. And after a few days of waiting, it happened… I was healing my troops after a bloody battle in Kingdom 94. My luck was finding a castle packed with resources, so I was able to heal my troops and rebuild my army without using anything from my inventory, and that made all the difference. I was about to close the game and go to sleep when a close friend sent me a message:

“You will not believe this. There are four castles without bubbles in Kingdom 515, two from Arp and two from TFI. You should take a look.”

At that very moment, I sent a scout to gather information, and while I waited, I prepared myself. The information was that all four castles were bows, with the two from TFI being the strongest. I knew those attacks would be costly, but I was determined to do it. I still had plenty of resources available in hand, so I trained troops until my stock was empty. In the end, I trained far more troops than necessary for those attacks, but I knew that would not be a problem, because TFI would probably not retaliate.

After nearly 10 minutes, I was finally in Kingdom 515. The feeling was very strange; it was as if that place were my home. Deep down, I was sad about everything that had happened. If I had a choice, I would have wanted none of it to happen. We were all happy together, and things changed in the blink of an eye, and now I was here as an enemy, bringing fire and destruction. My mind tried to make me give up on that idea, and before it was too late, I launched the first attack.

I decided to start by attacking the two Arp castles. The reason was simple: all four castles were bow builds, and I chose to begin with the weaker ones. The result of the first battle would show me how the fights would unfold from that point on. If I had started by attacking the strongest target, I could have been caught by surprise and even lost my lord. That would have been a cold shock and would have given TFI a reason to mock me. But I was lucky.

The first attack wiped out almost all of Lily’s army. More than five million soldiers fell beneath a collapsing wall. The defenses were prepared, the defensive formation was correct, and the number of T4 troops was ideal, but the lack of bow troops allowed my men to break in and destroy everything in their path without much difficulty. On my side, the losses were controlled; 91 thousand soldiers were lost, a number that did not concern me at all.

The second attack was quick and clean, 40 thousand losses on my side and 3 million on Lily’s side. The difference between those numbers was striking. After that second attack, my first target was defeated. The feeling of power and control took over quickly; I began to believe I could destroy all four castles without suffering heavy losses. I quickly healed my troops and moved on to the second target, also from the Arp alliance.

The second target was Jack. A castle of… I am not exactly sure; it had everything mixed inside, which made the attack much less painful for me. Castles without synergy between commanders and filled with mixed troops are an invitation to gain millions of merit points with little effort, since their defenses are extremely weak. Jack lost nearly six million troops in a single attack. The superiority of my cavalry was clear, and that invasion had everything it needed to be a complete success.

After another attack, Jack was no longer in my way. Half of my objective had been achieved, and two castles were in flames. Before attacking TFI, I healed all my troops, bought speed boots, and increased the number of troops I would send. That was the moment I had been waiting for. And when I opened the map to launch the attack, I had a surprise…

I had lost track of time, and when I realized it, more than 10 minutes had already passed, and it was too late… Evgen, or maybe Lovka, was online and bubbled all four castles. I almost exploded with anger, and because of my delay, I lost the two main targets.

A feeling of frustration took over. I had waited weeks for an opportunity like that, but I did not take advantage of it. On top of that, TFI now knows my plans and will certainly manage their bubbles more carefully from now on. I will wait, patiently, for another chance to return here… If I really find a new window.
