~ JustKebab vs Bapn14 - The End of the Resistance, Kingdom 395 ~

📘 Prologue - Two Alliances, Two Destinies

The RRH alliance had already forged a formidable reputation, traversing numerous kingdoms. Discipline, coordination, and experience made each of its members a skilled fighter, capable of turning misfortune into victory. Every battle was studied in its entirety, every move meticulously calculated.

Facing them was the MDs alliance, known for its confrontational nature and its refusal to cede its lands without putting up a strong fight against the decision to let them be taken. Even though the situation was dire, it fought to maintain the integrity of its ranks, refusing to yield anything to this alliance.

When the law of combat failed to bring these two alliances together on the same ground in Kingdom 395, everyone knew it was far too fortunate for anyone to escape.

JustKebab is a rider who hits hard. A specialist in enemy weaknesses and the right moment to strike, he relies more on the speed of his attack than on its devastating power.

His cavalry are trained to exploit the slightest weakness, turning a simple enemy mistake into a disaster. During the War of the Crowns, JustKebab proved his worth not only by seeking heavy losses, but also by attempting to capture enemy lords to ensure the opposing side could not return.

Bapn14, a member of MDs, was also a seasoned rider. Accustomed to battles and clashes with the most powerful, he had already fought in numerous wars, but he would not have hesitated to do so if he did not possess the desire, inspiration, and tactics that had brought him so much success!

This castle was much more than a fort. It was a symbol of his efforts, his improvements, and his presence within his alliance. Losing a monument like this would be a difficult and unforgettable experience.

📖 The Hunt Begins

The battle had been raging for several hours when our RRH scouts brought back some very interesting information.

Right in the middle of a hotly contested territory lay Bapn14's castle.

At first glance, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. However, this time JustKebab noticed several small details that quickly caught his attention. Some units were hesitating slightly, and several reinforcements that were supposed to be in that position had only just arrived.

But opposite him, Bapn14 was managing the fighting. The battles were escalating rapidly, and decisions had to be made quickly. The fighting around him didn't quite capture his attention.

Unbeknownst to him, he had just entered the field of vision of one of RRH's most dangerous predators.

A storm was brewing.

⚔️ First Attack - The Invisible Rift

Just after RRH's scouts confirmed Bapn14's location, we agreed that JustKebab needed to prepare his attack. Hours of fighting had raged in Kingdom 395, with numerous armies moving in all directions.

Bapn14's castle, amidst the chaos, was holding firm. In truth, behind the castle's apparent solidity lay its weaknesses, which the RRH rider had detected. Clearly, some troops had left the fortress, and several recent exchanges were weakening its defenses. But nothing was lost yet; JustKebab had just found the perfect opportunity.

Just moments later, JustKebab's riders charged. The army's hooves echoed on the plain; RRH's banners advanced swiftly toward the objective. At Bapn14 Castle, at the first alert, the defenders took up positions on the ramparts and prepared their formations.

No one knew exactly how the attack would unfold, but everyone knew a clash was about to begin and that it would be decisive.

The impact was powerful. The front lines tore each other apart in a deluge of iron and dust. The RRH cavalry tried to set the pace while the MDs defenders attempted to halt the assault.

For several minutes, neither army seemed able to gain the upper hand. Casualties mounted on both sides, and the reports reaching the command posts were terrifyingly close.

Bapn14 watched the unfolding battle with confidence. For despite the force of the attack, his troops were still holding their ground. Several waves of attackers were pinned down, and some RRH units were even beginning to breathe their last. The impression of a balanced fight was gradually taking hold, and yet, JustKebab continued to analyze every enemy move.

A weakness was quickly identified. This weakness, however, became a genuine opening. JustKebab rushed in, sending its best units into the breach.

The cavalry thus broke through the enemy lines, creating chaos behind the main defenses. From then on, the battle took a completely new turn.

The Bapn14 formations gradually disintegrated, with the power of RRH shifting its attack strategy in response to the enemy's defenses, a shift that became more pronounced with each passing minute.

The fighting ultimately culminated in a result that nothing, ever, could have altered.

Victory for JustKebab, 32M against 127M for Bapn14.

The castle had held out, but at what cost! Over 127 million for Bapn14, while the MDs rider, stripping them of the captured battle reports, realized that this first attack had just compromised his already precarious position. For JustKebab, the hardest part was yet to come.

If he finally weakened his opponent, the lord would remain free, and the decisive battle was about to begin.

⚔️ Second Attack - The Lord's Capture

A heavy silence fell after the first battle; everyone at RRH knew it was time to finish. JustKebab, meanwhile, reviewed the new reports and noted that the first offensive had considerably weakened the enemy fortress. But they were still in great danger. Other players were involved, and the arrival of reinforcements could change everything at any moment. Time was becoming threatening.

The situation in the castle was very different than before the first assault, with losses, surviving soldiers on the battle line, and commanders searching for solutions to the gaping holes in the defenses. Despite their cautious, anxious work, the reports left little room for optimism, and everyone knew that the next attack might be the last.

When the scouts reported the approach of a new RRH army, the tension reached its peak. The defenders retook their positions, knowing they shouldn't yield an inch of their territory, but this time, the confidence that had previously driven them turned to anxiety. The previous losses weighed heavily on the troops' morale.

JustKebab then sounded the hunting horn and launched his final offensive. The RRH cavalry surged across the plain with formidable cadence. The defenders fought bravely and managed to slow the enemy for a few moments. Hope seemed to be rekindled for a brief instant. Some units of meta-dynamic devices managed to repel several assaults, and reports indicated a more complete resistance than anticipated.

But the resistance did not last.

Deeply affected by the damage sustained during the initial assault, RRH's cavalry easily found their way to the very heart of the defenses. The front, cracking, opted to end it, and JustKebab understood that he had the opportunity to deliver the final blow to the battle, ordering a general push. The defensive lines were already collapsing one after another as the last soldiers of Bapn14 tried in vain to stem the tide.

At the height of the battle, RRH's troops penetrated the last heavily fortified chambers of the castle. Though the defenders fought on, the pressure proved too much for them. Losses mounted, and the possibilities for a counterattack dwindled. And finally, the moment they had dreaded, like the Holy Grail, approached.

The lord of Bapn14 was finally located and captured.

And at that instant, all resistance ceased. The defenders' last hopes vanished as RRH's banners finally flew over the battlefield. History was turning. More than a military victory, the lord's capture heralded the decisive defeat of Bapn14's defenders.

Victory for JustKebab 2M vs. 73M for Bapn14

The second charge finished what the first had started. Seventy-three million more power vanished, and this time the enemy lord fell into RRH's hands.

For Bapn14, the battle was won by the attackers. For JustKebab, the objective was achieved: having detected a weakness, then breached it, and finally capitalized on every advantage gained, RRH's knight had just secured a first victory, a complete triumph.

📜 Conclusion - A Methodical Victory

Bapn14's defeat was not the result of a single offensive. The first of the two, which would ultimately secure JustKebab's victory, weakened the defenses, striking before giving the attacker the opportunity to create the fatal defense. Insofar as the second [strategy] only emerged after the fact, having merely managed to exploit, at the right moment, the fact that the initial assault had annihilated everything up to the enemy's coup.

The battle of the MDs' troops took place, but to what end, since RRH's blind pressure was too strong, where each confrontation, like a distinct whole, forged the initial victory and determined the outcome of the final battle.

Once peace returned to Kingdom 395, JustKebab left this battlefield with complete control over the captured enemy Lord, while Bapn14's patient invasion brought the islands of disaster to the surface throughout the kingdom.
