Playing with Fire - K357

Looking for a new target, I started checking my favorite kingdoms one by one. However, I needed to be careful. The new Alliance Conquest season is coming, and because of that, I had to train additional T5 troops, considerably increasing my power. Because of this, the kingdoms that I used to pay one scroll to enter now cost two or even three. But there were still many places I could go to with just one. My search for castles without a bubble did not last long, which was strange. And I quickly found a new target.

I found two castles without a bubble in Kingdom 357, where the N0X alliance has lived for quite some time. However, when I took this screenshot, only one of the castles was unbubbled (the other was Ismandem, but since he was a spear, I wouldn't go for him).

That was not a kingdom I usually kept an eye on, because besides knowing CRY has a nap with them, I know how strong that alliance is, and normally their players are not the type of targets I like to attack. But I still gave it a chance and went there to scout.

I was very surprised by what I was seeing. How had an alliance of that size and strength allowed a player with that formation to become a member? To me, the only explanation was that he had T5 troops unlocked and had also trained a good amount of them, enough for the new Alliance Conquest season that is coming in a few days.

Attacking and zeroing a player from a big alliance is what every merit hunter wants. I was ready to record the attacks and turn them into a video for YouTube. However, knowing that my computer and also my game would become much slower, I decided not to. I had only one chance to take Voidas down, and I might even need two attacks. But if I took longer than that, I could face serious consequences with a powerful N0X player placing a garrison inside Voidas's castle.

I was not willing to back down. I switched to battle mode, prepared everything, jumped to Kingdom 357, took a deep breath, and launched the attack.

I was expecting to lose my lord to a garrison. My stomach was cold, and my hands were shaking. And when the report appeared, I had confirmation that I had achieved a great victory.

Voidas lost half of his army in that attack, while on my side, 204k troops were wounded and another 87k were lost. I had little time to react, and knowing that my hospital capacity was over one million, I did not waste time healing the troops that were already there.

I could not give N0X time to react, because every second was valuable. So I quickly repositioned and launched the second attack, this time hoping to finish the job.

I forgot to remove the reroute skill from my dragon for the second attack, which allowed some troops to survive. But that was fine; I was not willing to risk a third attack, so I left them behind.

With almost no losses and 12 million merit points earned, I defeated Voidas. My troops returned triumphantly. I jumped and hid them all before any N0X player could find me. And of course, I went back to looking around the major cities for a new target. But everything seemed calm: Casterly Rock, Winterfell, Eyrie, there was no one. And when I looked at King's Landing once again, I got a surprise.

It is no surprise that in many of the kingdoms I invade, a bow trap or some very strong player tries to set up an ambush for me. And that was exactly what Mickyvee from N0X did. As soon as I laid eyes on King's Landing, he was there, without a bubble, waiting for me.

As soon as I opened his profile, I saw that he was in battle gear and also had the Night King equipped with his weapon as his main Lord. I tried to scout him, but he had anti-scout activated, preventing me from gathering information about his formation and the number/composition of his troops.

I have a basic rule that I follow in every invasion, which is: if I cannot scout my target, I simply do not attack, especially if he is online.

As soon as I opened the personal score ranking and also the strongholds ranking, it became clear that he was much stronger than me. And I do not know if he thinks I am stupid or something like that for attacking him, because, of course, I would not do that. But I also would not miss the chance to have a little fun with him.

I jumped next to him and started dancing, constantly changing positions. I even thought he was going to attack, but he stayed quiet. And we stayed there for about 15 minutes until I got tired, activated my bubble, and waited for the moment to leave the kingdom.

I was playing with fire, but this time it had worked. Luckily for me, Voidas fell in just two attacks, preventing something worse. But I know that the next time I enter this kingdom, N0X will not let me get away with it.
