P4RTYStoppa triumph over a 2.5B

P4RTYStoppa was still sorting through reports from his previous hunts when another message appeared from Thanix. By now, the routine was almost predictable. Thanix would stumble across an interesting target, send over a few screenshots, and leave it to P4RTY to decide whether it was worth spending a scroll.

More often than not, it was.

This time, however, one detail stood out immediately.

2.5 billion power.

The number alone was enough to make P4RTY stop what he was doing and switch over to his scout account.

The target was TamHoang from the VNV alliance.

After jumping into the kingdom, P4RTY began scouting the castle for himself. The deeper he looked into the report, the better it became.

TamHoang's castle held an enormous number of higher-tier troops, protected by surprisingly few lower-tier units. The defensive wall was a complete disaster. The commanders had little synergy, the formation offered obvious weaknesses, and nothing about the setup resembled a properly built defensive account.

To make things even better, TamHoang was sitting in rebel gear.

Every new detail made the target look even more tempting.

P4RTY was already preparing to port when one final detail caught his eye.

The scroll cost.

It wasn't cheap.

For a few moments, he simply stared at the screen. The target looked incredible, but reaching it would cost a significant amount. Then there was the castle itself. At 2.5 billion power, this wasn't a routine solo kill. Even with a weak wall, there was no guarantee he could finish the job alone.

His eyes moved back and forth between the scouting report and the price of the scroll.

Eventually, he smiled.

Big rewards always came with big risks.

This hunt simply came with more than most.

A few moments later, P4RTY arrived in the kingdom and launched his opening attack.

The first report couldn't have looked much better.

His infantry march punched straight through the weak defensive wall, tearing away an enormous number of troops while keeping his own losses surprisingly manageable. One glance at the report filled him with confidence.

The castle was huge...

But it was definitely killable.

After healing his wounded, he launched a second attack.

Once again, the results were excellent.

TamHoang's power continued to fall rapidly as another massive wave of troops disappeared. A third attack followed with nearly identical results, and by the fourth strike, P4RTY felt completely in control.

Everything was going according to plan.

The reports were clean.

The merit was climbing.

The target was steadily collapsing.

Then the battle began to change.

After the fourth attack, the sheer size of TamHoang's account started making itself felt.

Every march removed millions of enemy troops...

But every march also took a noticeable bite out of P4RTY's own army.

He healed once again before preparing another attack, but this time something caught his attention.

His troop count was falling far faster than he had expected.

The fifth attack still produced an excellent report, but the cost of the hunt was beginning to climb.

To keep the momentum going, P4RTY had already started retraining troops between attacks something he never imagined needing when he first saw the scouting report.

The sixth attack landed soon afterward.

Again, TamHoang grew weaker.

Again, P4RTY paid heavily for every bit of progress.

More troops disappeared.

More speedups were consumed.

More resources vanished.

What had started as an exciting hunt was quickly becoming one of the most expensive solo kills he had attempted in a long time.

Despite the growing cost, every battle report still looked fantastic.

The merit gain was enormous.

The target was clearly dying.

On paper, everything was working perfectly.

Yet with every round of healing, P4RTY watched another pile of resources disappear. The reports celebrated victory, while his inventory told a very different story.

Then another obstacle appeared.

His gold reached zero.

For several seconds, P4RTY simply stared at the screen.

TamHoang was already heavily damaged. Walking away now would waste every troop, every speedup, and every scroll he had already invested.

Quitting was the easy option.

Finishing the hunt would require finding another way.

Without hesitation, P4RTY chose to keep going.

Instead of using gold, he switched to blue diamonds to continue healing his army. It was an expensive solution, but it kept the hunt alive.

Then he made another adjustment.

Rather than rebuilding more higher-tier troops, he began mixing T2 troops into his marches alongside whatever stronger units remained available.

The marches were no longer perfect.

They simply needed to be good enough.

At this stage, optimization no longer mattered.

Only one objective remained.

Finish the target.

The seventh attack landed.

Then the eighth.

TamHoang was barely holding together.

Each report showed the same pattern. The defending army continued shrinking, but every attack demanded another painful payment from P4RTY's own account.

There was no turning back now.

Too much had already been invested.

The only option left was to see the hunt through to the very end.

Finally, the ninth attack struck.

The remaining defenses collapsed.

TamHoang was completely zeroed.

The lord was captured on the final blow.

After nine consecutive solo attacks, countless wounded troops, repeated healing cycles, retraining sessions, and constant resource spending, the hunt was finally over.

P4RTY scrolled back through every report from the beginning.

The first few almost looked easy.

Back then, he still had plenty of troops, speedups, and gold.

By the final reports, that comfort had disappeared completely.

He couldn't help but laugh at how quickly everything had escalated.

Before leaving the kingdom, P4RTY took one final look at the now-empty castle.

The hunt had begun with excitement.

Halfway through, it had turned into a resource nightmare.

Yet somehow, it still ended exactly the way he wanted.

By the final attacks, he was healing with blue diamonds, retraining troops between marches, and piecing together whatever army he could still field.

It wasn't pretty.

But it worked.

TamHoang was gone.

The lord was captured.

Nearly 68 million merit had been secured.

The scroll had been expensive.

The troop losses had hurt.

Running out of gold was a problem he would deal with later.

Those concerns could wait.

For now, P4RTY was simply glad he hadn't walked away when things became difficult.

Sometimes determination is stronger than perfect preparation.

This time, stubbornness carried him all the way to the final attack.

This version leans more into the rising tension, making the hunt feel like a battle of endurance rather than just a sequence of attacks, while preserving every major event and statistic from your original story.
