You are not scary - K179

The last invasion brought up some traumas in my army, not from the battle itself, but from fear. Entering a completely unknown kingdom, in enemy territory, and fighting to the death is an easy task for them; my troops are used to living knowing that death is a risk in all invasions. But when the atmosphere is filled with suspense, when you are hunted like a boar, and you do not know what is coming, fear consumes even the strongest of men.

The invasion of Kingdom 327 brought that fear to the surface. The attacks were highly successful, but the feeling of being the prey created immense tension. I knew the strongest hunters from NpW were there, and only the bravest warrior would have been able to complete that mission. In the end, my men proved their worth, and we left that kingdom with our duty fulfilled, and the attacks from Sinpaz did not kill any of us.

On the same day, one of our allies had been quietly watching the enemy kingdoms, checking every movement around the great cities, waiting for a mistake, a chance for a new invasion. And a target has appeared. A big castle with a power of over two billion, from the MBL alliance, the 6NK secondary alliance. He was big, I agree, maybe even scary, but in this game, negligence is an open invitation to hunters.

I knew that territory; I had invaded that kingdom a few times in the past, and I knew that the danger was present in those lands, so I had to take a closer look to understand what was happening in that moment. My spies returned with information that left me a little concerned and made me wonder if it was really worth entering that territory. CrimsoNDawn was there, but I did not know if he was online. The truth is that K179 is very cheap to jump, so when somebody loses the protection bubble, they get zeroed very fast. So at that point, I had 6NK, CrimsoNDawn, and other invaders as a big problem, so I had to be very quick.

That night was strange. My target was big, the perfect size to scare any hunter, and all that information was giving me the chills. It was not the first time I had felt something like that, a knot in my stomach. But I decided to take the risk anyway, as I always do. Before attacking, I checked to see if I had enough resources and troops for that combat. And after a few minutes, I gave the order for the first attack to be launched.

The wall collapsed on the first impact. The lack of synergy between the commanders left him completely vulnerable, causing him to lose almost half of his defensive troops. My men fought as hard as they could, but they had to retreat to catch their breath and replace the lost troops while I planned the second attack.

From that moment on, everyone in that kingdom, including the invaders, knew I was there, and the thought of being attacked by CrimsoNDawn became a nightmare in my head. I quickly healed my troops who were in the hospital. I did not want to waste a single second; I knew someone else would attack him very soon.

The second impact, even without fortifications on the wall, dealt less damage than the first one. On my side, almost the same losses. I was attacking with cavalry, and honestly, I should be able to give more damage once I’m fighting against an infantry wall. It shows that even without any synergy, NKMRTIMELES had the army size advantage on his side.

The winds are making a weird sound, and the kingdom was silent; no one had moved. The few noises that could be heard were only from NKMRTIMELES' castle in flames. It was too strange. I didn't see anyone attacking rebel leaders, no one sending troops to gather resources, no one opening rallies in rebel camps. I realized I was only wasting time, so I launched the third attack before my target could use the bubble.

Before the smoke could even fade, and NKMRTIMELES could use the bubble to protect the rest of his army, the third battle happened, and after analyzing the report more closely, I noticed that his army was heavily reduced, which left him with no troops to replace. He was finally falling. Someone who looked very scary on paper had become just another victim.

The invasion was still not complete. NKMRTIMELES was still hiding with the remaining troops inside his fortress. But (as always), a bow trap dropped its bubble right next to my target, to challenge me, and as a good boy, I always ignore lol Instead of attacking it, I sent another wave to finish my target.

The final attack ended that wave of assaults. Not because I wanted to, but because CrimsoNDawn attacked the target right after my last attack. My only reaction was to hide my troops and go to a safe location for the next twelve minutes. When NKMRTIMELES finally activated his bubble, it was too late. All his army had been eliminated. His fall proved that no one can ever be 100% confident in their protection bubbles.

Invasions like this are always tense. The seconds of each attack feel like an eternity, and it is almost impossible not to have negative thoughts. This time, the mission was a success. The fall of NKMRTIMELES sent a message to everyone: watch your bubbles, or Phantom will come for you.
