~ DIAMONDS vs Brokenjades - The Price, Kingdom 327 ~

📘Prologue - The Calm Before the Breakthrough

Kingdom 327 was in a precarious situation. As discussions within the major alliances grew increasingly tense, intelligence from scouts circulated among the officers.

RRH advanced with certainty, thanks to rigorous organization and players capable of transforming a simple attack into a show of force. The alliance sought to impose its rule on the kingdom through swift and precise strikes, not through words. Meanwhile, NpW refused to back down, as it still had seasoned defenders to withstand pressure and protect its members. Several players, faced with recent rumors of imminent attacks, still believed they could hold their defenses. But some battles begin long before the first impacts.

Within the ranks of RRH, DIAMONDS was already preparing his flanking maneuvers. A renowned launcher known for his aggressive and systematic attacks, he was monitoring the enemy's movements, searching for a formidable opponent capable of putting up a real fight. His gaze finally settled on Brokenjades, an infantry member of NpW, known for the strength of his defensive formations.

On one side, an attacker capable of pushing forward to capture the lord.

On the other, a defender convinced his castle could hold.

Kingdom 327 would soon find out who was right.

Diamonds certainly wasn't the type of player to rush in as soon as there was a target to aim for. Her reputation, moreover, wasn't immediately linked to that. Consider the almost unbearable calm that accompanied each of her offensive actions. A RRH player with the precision of a spearman, she had a unique way of creating a sense of threat before the first blow was even struck.

There was no feeling of fear that overwhelmed her. An opponent did not intimidate her. Where did her confidence lie? Never in reflex, in hasty action, in the wounded. Within her, victory took shape long before the final minute. She did not disarm her competitor. In the anticipation that made him think in codes, she kept the enemy, so conducive to energy, within her. Perhaps she was seized by the possibility of the impending improvement. When, on time, she reigned over her opponents.

On Kingdom 327, Brokenjades was known as a formidable defender. An infantry player for the NpW alliance, he relied on the robustness of his formations and his ability to withstand even the most brutal attacks. His troops, entrenched behind his walls, had a reputation for holding out for extended periods under enemy pressure, sometimes even when the situation became extremely precarious.

Calm and patient, Brokenjades was the type who never panicked after a first defeat. He analyzed, refined his defenses, and looked for any way to slow his opponent down. However, with Diamonds' repeated assaults, even his formidable resistance would begin to show signs of wear.

⚔️ First Attack - The Spear in the Mist

It was still early night in Realm 327 when the first steps of RRH's weapon began to move. Few players noticed this movement at first, but in the corridors of NpW, some scouts quickly realized that a target had been designated: Brokenjades.

The infantry castle of NpW seemed like a fortress that would be difficult to take. Its defenses had already withstood several assaults, and many thought that a single attack wouldn't be enough to breach its lines, but that night, something seemed to change.

DIAMONDS advanced silently, like a predator already certain of its attack.

RRH's spearmen pyramided across the map with lightning speed. Behind Brokenjades' walls, the alarm was raised in haste. The urgency of the situation allowed defenses to spring into action, infantry troops took up positions, and commanders tried to stabilize the situation before impact. But despite this preparation, an unexpected tension was already beginning to surface.

Brokenjades knew that DIAMONDS wasn't a player who sought an immediate reaction. When they moved, they acted with a precise plan in mind for every move, and this certainty made the wait all the more agonizing.

Then came the impact.

The spearmen demonstrated their strength by crashing into the front lines of infantry with the brutality of their attacks. The shock was commensurate with the power of Diamonds' corps; several defensive formations barely yielded to this initial blow. Brokenjades' soldiers tried to hold their positions, attempting to block the first charges with their shields if possible, but Diamonds seemed to have exploited every weakness in their defenses through relentless attacks.

Then, little by little, the defenses of NpW, though so valiantly employed, seemed to crumble. The ranks of the opposing troops closed with difficulty, and Brokenjades tried to regain control of the battle. From his castle, the lord must have seen his men struggling against disaster at the end of their front line.

But Diamonds advanced.

Red Ridge's spears gave the enemy no respite. Each breakthrough added another opening, each step back another sacrifice to keep the fortress standing. Little by little, the pressure became overwhelming.

The walls still held.

So did the troops.

But already, the balance of power in the battle had shifted.

DIAMONDS Victory 9M vs. 223M for Brokenjades

When it was all over, the ensuing silence was almost heavier than the battle itself. Brokenjades had just suffered a crushing defeat in a single engagement, losing 223M. This was no longer a skirmish between two warring factions of Kingdom 327. A message was being sent to RRH's camp.

Within NpW's ranks, some immediately realized that this initial attack was surely just the beginning. Brokenjades had held their ground, but at a terrible cost. The enemy had breached their defenses, depleted their available forces, and, most importantly, DIAMONDS had just discovered exactly how each side would react under pressure.

On RRH's side, confidence was rising. Reports indicated that the attacker had breached the enemy guards. Yet, victory was not yet definitively declared by DIAMONDS.

For while Brokenjades had indeed suffered heavy losses, the Lord was still free.

And as long as the Lord did not surrender, the war would not yet be over.

⚔️Second Attack - The Wall Begins to Give Way

The second attack presented itself in a different light: Brokenjades knew it. It was no longer an incident, a skirmish; the losses from the first salvo had been enough to render his forces vulnerable. Every second before the arrival of the attackers had taken on the air of a countdown.

On the very spot of his castle, the last remaining troop was repositioned. Orders circulated more quickly, but less calmly. The infantry, still haunted by the memory of the first shot, had to fire again. Her suffocating strength lay in the awareness of having suffered the violence of the DIAMONDS lancers, the horror of the fact that it was now real, no longer abstract, for the benefit of a well-understood theory, which took shape in the flame of the eyes that pointed at her.

DIAMONDS had reached this point in the march: the attack was like a blade already bloodied, digging itself into the same spot to avoid bending, excavating every point of contact until the ground crumbled. This time, the assault seemed more direct, harder, more compelled by disproportionate individual brutality. It was no longer enough to simply create a crack; the wound had to be enlarged.

Faced with the clash of the two armies, Brokenjades strove to act more aggressively. Her infantry line closed to absorb the shock before counter-attacking. For a moment, the defense seemed to breathe easier. With DIAMONDS' first rank overwhelmed, the battle tightened, and the outcome appeared less certain.

But this moment of hope was short-lived.

Diamonds retraced his steps. The spearmen struck harder than before, where losses had already been dealt during the attack, each calculated move designed to prevent Brokenjades from regaining even a minimally stable defensive line. The infantry still held, but no longer dominated the battlefield. They were under attack.

At the castle, the pressure became human. It was no longer a question of numbers. Purely numerical as always, Brokenjades must have felt his army losing ground, that each movement was more difficult than the last, that each flanking maneuver inevitably backfired on a neighboring flank. Reinforcing one flank weakened another. Saving one line meant abandoning another segment of the battlefield.

And Diamonds pressed on.

DIAMONDS Wins 5M vs. Brokenjades 175M

The second victory confirmed the first. DIAMONDS had sacrificed little, while Brokenjades expended a great deal. An additional 175M of power fell beneath the spear's blows. Kingdom 327 watched its defenses burn, attack after attack.

The circle was closing in on Brokenjades. The castle was still standing, but the space was shrinking. His troops had already suffered two crushing defeats. The walls were still holding, but the troops behind them were beginning to tire, to despair.

For RRH, this second attack confirmed that the target could be broken. DIAMONDS had weakened Brokenjades' reaction. Only one final stage remained, the most dangerous, the one where the opponent had nothing left to lose.

Because a wounded target can sometimes be more dangerous than an unbroken one.

⚔️Third Attack - The Lord's Silence

The second attack was tense. This time, Brokenjades knew it; he could no longer believe it was a simple assault. The previous losses had weakened his forces too much, and every second before impact was a true countdown. At the castle, troops were being hastily redeployed. Orders circulated faster but less calmly. With infantry still reeling from the first clash, they had to hold their ground. The defenders now knew the price of the clash with the DIAMONDS spearmen, and it weighed heavier on their hearts than any armor.

Diamonds pressed on without hesitation. His troops advanced like the blade of a dagger, already covered in blood, ready and determined to strike, always in the same spot, until the stone was shattered. Here, the assault seemed more direct, more brutal, more personal. It was no longer simply a matter of creating a breach; it was now essential to deepen the wound.

When the two armies met, Brokenjades took the offensive with greater aggression. His infantry lines closed in to absorb the shock, then counterattacked. For a moment, the defense seemed to have regained its strength. Diamonds' front ranks tightened, the battle intensified, and the outcome seemed less certain.

But this moment of hope did not last.

Diamonds adjusted his pace. The spearmen charged further, bearing the predictable brunt of the losses already suffered in the first attack. Every move seemed carefully calculated to prevent Brokenjades from rebuilding a stable line. The infantry still held their ground but no longer controlled the field. They were buckling.

The pressure within the castle became palpable. It was no longer a matter of numbers. As Brokenjades had outlined, the disintegration of his army was already evident, each decision more complex than the last, the reinforcement of one flank becoming merely the price of a weakness on the other. Reinforcing one line meant surrendering another from the battlefield.

And Diamonds continued to advance.

DIAMONDS Wins 5M vs. Brokenjades 175M

The second victory confirmed what the first indicated: DIAMONDS lost little, Brokenjades lost a lot, 175M power vanishing under the spearmen's blows, Kingdom 327 watching its defense crumble attack after attack.

The problem became critical for Brokenjades. The castle hadn't yet fallen, but the surrounding area was closing in. Already hit by the first wave of two teams, the walls were still holding but crumbling as fatigue and doubt crept in behind them.

And for RRH, this second attack reinforced the certainty that the target could be broken, reducing Brokenjades' reactive framework to the last, most dangerous step, the one where the opponent may have little left to lose. This is especially true given that a wounded target sometimes becomes more effective than an intact one.

📜 Conclusion - The Silence After the Battle

At the end of the fighting on Kingdom 327, only ravaged walls, terrible losses, and the silence of the lord of Brokenjades remained.

DIAMONDS had built his victory attack by attack; the first breached the defenses, the second weakened the last remaining defenses, and the third finally brought down the fortress of Brokenjades.

Despite the pressure, in vain, Brokenjades and the NpW troops held out to the very end. But, faced with the energy of RRH's spearmen and the force of the offensives led by his men, the defense crumbled.

Following these assaults, DIAMONDS left his mark on Kingdom 327, reaffirming that war is not only the art of power, but also of patience and timing.
