Phantom79 raids YGI - K204

In just a few months, Phantom79 became one of the most successful and well-known merit hunters in the game. His level of commitment and courage to invade the super alliances’ kingdoms earned him respect from many players around Westeros. He is far from being a very strong warrior, which forces him to study and calculate every invasion down to the smallest detail. Otherwise, an exciting adventure can turn into a huge nightmare.

While his troops were gathering resources and preparing for the next invasion, Phantom was in his camp, sharpening his sword. Suddenly, a raven from the north arrived, carrying news. Phantom opened the letter, but there was nothing written on it, only numbers and coordinates pointing to a kingdom. He quickly opened the map to find out what it was about, and the news was not good.

Bloethgarn's castle stood right in the middle of Kingdom 204, ruled and controlled by the YGI alliance, one of the strongest alliances in the game. Moreover, Bloethgarn was an essential part of that alliance, which meant that attacking him would be the same as declaring war, something that would certainly bring trouble to Phantom.

The YGI alliance has been growing and becoming more prominent with each passing day. With the addition of new players, the traditional German alliance has become so large and dangerous that it intimidates any merit hunter who considers attacking them.

Phantom had two options: go there and prove his courage by attacking Bloethgarn and provoking that powerful alliance, or turn back and look for another opportunity elsewhere, in a weaker kingdom with less protection, one that would bring him neither glory nor respect.

All of his men were watching, waiting for his signal. He spent several minutes staring at the map, thinking about what to do. Then he stood up and ordered everyone to prepare. The invasion of Kingdom 204 would happen, regardless of the consequences. Fear spread across the faces of every soldier in the army. Their legs began to shake, and their eyes grew wider and wider. But there was no turning back. Phantom jumped into Kingdom 204, positioned his castle where he would have the advantage and a faster march, and launched the first attack.

A massive explosion could be heard from miles away as Bloethgarn's main gate was struck by Phantom's unstoppable cavalry. The battle was bloody enough for Phantom to realize that Bloethgarn would not fall easily.

Even without losing a single T5 troop, a considerable portion of his T4s were hit, causing significant losses to his army. On the other hand, Phantom faced a wall defended by more than 17 million soldiers, all of them pure T4 troops. It was far from an easy battle. Even so, his fearless cavalry managed to eliminate just over 3 million troops, all of them infantry. A relatively low number.

It was only after that attack that Phantom realized the size of the problem he was getting himself into. Bloethgarn's castle was enormous, with millions of troops inside. If Phantom continued eliminating only three million soldiers with each attack, it would take many more waves to finish it. That meant exposing himself over and over again, making him an easy target for YGI's defenders.

Fear and uncertainty began to take over Phantom's mind, as he believed he wasn't strong enough and didn't have enough troops to destroy his target. But he decided to try one more time. As his troops marched, he watched the activity around him, fearing a counterattack.

The second attack produced a much better and more satisfying result. Phantom realized that the main reason behind Bloethgarn's resistance was his wall and fortifications, but now that they were gone, the path was clear.

Trying to deal even more damage, Phantom sent more T5 troops into battle, which was enough to eliminate almost all of Bloethgarn's infantry and leave him far more vulnerable and exposed.

Afraid of being attacked, Phantom kept jumping around the map like a flea from one spot to another. At the same time, he had to scout Bloethgarn's castle to check whether anyone had sent a garrison or reinforcements. The fear was great, but his courage was even greater.

Another attack was launched, and Phantom's losses kept decreasing. His cavalry marched at an incredible speed, breaking into the castle and striking the enemy troops like lightning before escaping a possible ambush. Bloethgarn was weakening. His power was dropping dramatically as his army vanished from the map. His allies, despite being powerful, were too slow to use Blockade and stop Phantom, who disappeared from the radar after every attack.

Bloethgarn was confident that his defenses could withstand the attacks, but that was a lie only he believed. Another five million troops were killed, leaving a massive hole in his army.

After the fourth attack, nearly ten YGI players were seen either changing their location or switching to battle gear. Phantom was in trouble. He had become the hunted.

Phantom had no choice but to use 75% Boots on every attack. His enemies were searching for him. But for some reason, none of them were sending a garrison to Bloethgarn's castle, revealing their lack of battle experience. Knowing that, Phantom launched a fifth attack, wiping out another massive portion of the enemy army, which had almost completely disappeared by then.

After six bloody attacks, Bloethgarn finally fell. A total of 27 million troops were wiped out, while Phantom's losses were around 650 thousand, the total opposite numbers. The hunt continued for another 15 minutes. Phantom changed his location every 10 seconds to avoid being tracked, and that was what saved him.

YGI failed to protect their ally, leaving the alliance weakened and shaking the confidence of its members. But the truth is that Phantom was fortunate. He only made it out alive because none of his enemies thought to send a garrison to Bloethgarn's castle.

Against all odds, the great warrior left the kingdom untouched and with one more victim on his long list of targets. Invasions like this are always tense. The seconds of each attack feel like an eternity, and one garrison can destroy everything. This time, Phantom’s mission was a success, thanks to the Seven!
