P4RTYStoppa Raids K433

P4RTYStoppa had only recently returned to hunting when another opportunity appeared. This time it came from Thanix, a friend he knows for years and trusts. Instead of sending coordinates directly, Thanix sent screenshots of two unbubbled targets he had found in kingdom 433. That was enough to get P4RTY interested. He immediately switched onto his scout account and started checking the reports for himself. After a successful trip to kingdom 401, he was more than ready for another hunt and did not want to let good targets disappear while he sat around doing nothing.

There was only one problem. P4RTY was still on cooldown from the previous hunt and could not port immediately. While waiting, he carefully studied both reports. The first target was DEMIR YUZ from H1G alliance. A mixed wall, plenty of T4 troops and enough value to make the port worthwhile. Nothing about the report looked dangerous. It was exactly the kind of target hunters like finding. The second report, however, kept pulling his attention back every time he finished looking at the first one.

The second target was much more interesting. Torsta, also from H1G alliance, was a bow player with a huge amount of troops. What immediately stood out was the enormous T1 meatshield protecting everything behind it. To make matters worse, he was sitting in proper fight gear. At first glance, the report looked annoying rather than exciting. Then P4RTY noticed the wall setup. The commanders did not work particularly well together and the overall formation looked weaker than it should have been. The target would be a grind, but it looked killable. The more he studied the report, the more convinced he became that the reward hidden behind those T1 troops was worth the effort.

The moment the cooldown ended, P4RTY ported into kingdom 433 and started with DEMIR YUZ. The first attack immediately did heavy damage and showed that the target would not last long. The mixed wall simply could not handle the pressure. A second attack followed shortly afterward and finished the job. DEMIR YUZ was completely zeroed and the lord was captured on the final hit. It was a clean kill, exactly as the scout report suggested. Two attacks, one captured lord and a good amount of merit already secured before the more difficult target even came into play.

With the first target gone, all attention shifted toward Torsta. This was the target that worried P4RTY a little. Not because of the wall itself, but because of the massive amount of T1 troops waiting to absorb damage. He knew the first reports would probably be frustrating. Even so, there were too many valuable troops hiding behind that meatshield to walk away. If he wanted the merit, he would have to work through the wall the hard way.

The first attack landed and immediately confirmed his expectations. Plenty of damage was dealt, but most of it disappeared into the giant wall of T1 troops. The second attack looked very similar. More meatshield disappeared, but it still felt like there was an endless amount left. Looking through the reports, P4RTY could not help wondering how many more attacks it would take before he finally reached the troops that actually mattered. The target was clearly getting weaker, but it was not the kind of progress that immediately showed itself on the report.

The third attack finally started changing things. The giant wall of T1 troops was becoming slowly smaller and smaller and more damage began reaching the higher tier troops hidden behind it. The fourth attack pushed the target even closer to collapse. At this point the castle was clearly running out of options and the reports continued improving with every hit. The expensive part of the hunt was finally behind him and the reward was beginning to show itself.

The fifth attack finished everything. The remaining defense collapsed, Torsta was completely zeroed and the lord was captured on the final hit. After spending several attacks cutting through the endless T1 wall, seeing the final report felt incredibly satisfying. The target had taken work, but the reward was finally there. Everything P4RTY expected from the report had happened almost exactly as predicted. The wall was annoying, the grind was real, but in the end the stronger troops behind it fell just like everything else.

For a few moments, P4RTY looked through all the reports from both targets. The difference between the hunts was almost funny. DEMIR YUZ fell over in two quick attacks while Torsta turned into a long grind against millions of meatshield troops. Yet both castles ended the same way. Zeroed, lord captured and merit added to the total. Looking back at the reports, the first attacks on Torsta felt completely different from the last ones. At the start it looked like the castle would never run out of T1 troops. By the end, the higher tier troops were exposed and the fight became much easier. That was usually how these bow traps worked. The hard part came first, then everything suddenly started collapsing.

The final numbers showed roughly 28.5 million merit gained from the kingdom. For a single cheap port, it was an excellent result. The scout report on Torsta looked much scarier before the hunt than it did afterward. Nearly thirty million merit for one scroll was more than enough reason to be happy with the trip. As kingdom 433 settled down again, P4RTY saved the reports and prepared to leave. Two targets were gone, two lords sat in his prison and nearly thirty million merit had been added to his total. The giant T1 wall had been annoying and the grind had taken longer than he liked, but the result made the effort worthwhile. It was not the fastest hunt he had ever done, but it was one of those hunts where patience paid off from the first scout report all the way to the final attack!
