The time when everything went to hell - Arena of Honor Season 6 Round 4

Video Trailer

With the Summer is almost over in Westeros, the temperatures finally starting to go down and you can actually go out midday, it's time for the warriors in Westeros to embark into another round of Arena of Honor, the 4th one of the Season. After winning the first 3 rounds along her team, [N0X]LadyKnight started preparing for the 4th win(hopefully). She trained more troops, smelt more valyrian steel weapons, even got a new dragon skill and an upgrade on weapons and by the time she was done with the preparations it was already Sunday at noon so time for her to head towards the Arena of Honor battlefield. Once she arrived there, she signed the pre-registration papers and then waited together with the team for the matchmaking to be concluded by the Old Gods.

As the matchmaking only takes a few minutes it didn't take long for it to be completed and once the battlefield doors opened everyone stepped inside to see which house they going to choose them this time. Shado's team was chosen by Daenerys this time, to fight for House Targaryen and together with her they all went to the South-West forests of the battlefield towards the House Targaryen's Clan Castle.

Once they arrived there, everyone set camp around the castle and started doing the last minutes preparations. LadyKnight used a few of those minutes to send spies to the Starks and Lannister's and see who they invited to fight for them.

The news they got back sent chills to their spine, while the Lannister's team wasn't extremely strong, the Starks invited probably the strongest team in the whole Arena of Honor roster, a team made mostly of [RoD] warriors with a few additions from other alliances. While the Fantastic 10 team knew this will eventually happen when they decided to change the timeslot they were playing, they hoped it won't happen that soon. The time for strategies was over though as the horn sounding the start of the battle was heard and the strongholds opened for attacks.

After the 2 minutes of occupation, the team decided to once again go with military camps and try to fight for the 1st place as always and while the Starks decided to do the same, the Lannister's took the trading posts route so for the Fantastic 10 it was clear that this is going to be either a 1st place or a 3rd place. The altars started opening soon after and a battle between the Targaryen's and the Starks emerged as both teams were trying to get the altars of warriors so their NPCs will be strongest on the battlefield.

Even for the first altars opening the team felt a bit overwhelmed by the Starks, as despite having the strongest warriors in the team there were only 2 of them against 10 of Starks. The altars fighting was slowly but surely leaning towards the Starks, and it could be seen on the battlefield too as their NPCs were slowly but surely getting stronger and occupy all the watch towers and catapults. With the altars fight not going their way, the Fantastic 10 team had only one card left to play, the City of Glory.

ImperialRock's took the lead on the city as his impressive cavalry force charged towards the neutral NPCs guarding the city and left no survivors and then everyone in the team reinforced and prepared for the upcoming attacks. Despite only having 2 real enemies, both teams were packed and they quickly sent their strongest warriors to rally the city and claim 'it in their names. Lord Orval,Vitoo and Ur Candy, all made rallies and in a matter of seconds they were already marching towards the city.

The troops defending the city got in front of the walls and once the rallies arrived, they started charging towards the defending forces. Despite being able to deflect most of the rallies, each of them was chipping away quite some of the defending forces f so it was up to the team to quickly heal them and send reinforcements as quickly as possible to defend against the relentlessly incoming attacks. Unfortunately, without the catapults it was a thing easier said than done as the damage done by the rallies combined with the damage done by catapults was too much for anyone to handle so Starks managed to occupy the city, for now at least.

ImperialRock and light Yagami quickly organized counter rallies, and they managed to kick Vitoo quite easy from there and then they went on the defensive again.

This time Starks went even harder at them, making not 3 but 4 rallies this time with Lord Shorty joining the rally makers too.

After a battle of epic proportions between the 2 teams, going back and forth as it was looking like none of the teams will be able to hold the city for the 4 minutes required to fully occupy'it, the Starks drew the winning card again with managing to sneak Lord Shorty in and then another set of problems started for the Targaryen's.

While ImperialRock was strong enough to win easily against Lord Shorty, with light Yagami being spears, the team didn't had another very strong warrior that could duo rally with Rock and flip the city in their favor so after a fight that lasted almost 30 minutes but felt like an eternity to everyone involved, the Targaryen's had to admit defeat on the battlefield.

Them willing to go for 1st or die trying felt at the end in points difference and the team suffered the first crushing defeat since they formed as a team but since it was against probably the strongest Arena of Honor team, not many tears were spilled. All they can do now is dust off and come with a better strategy for next time when they'll face this team. Will they be able to win and take revenge or that's simply a too tough nut to crack and they should play for the 2nd place instead? We'll have to wait and see. See you all on the battlefield!
