Video Trailer

There's almost Autumn in Westeros and that means it's time for another event liked by most warriors to start, Alliance Conquest. [N0X] made an objective in the past seasons to get in the top 16 at the end of the 6 rounds of the season and qualify for Ultimate Conquest and they actually made their objective on the season 23 and while their first presence in the Ultimate Conquest didn't last too long as all the alliances there are very strong, they want to at least repeat the performance this season. With that in mind, on the months between the seasons the [N0X] council was very busy with helping the warriors improve their battle performance as well as recruiting new warriors for the upcoming season. Their roster is not as strong as it was at the begin of the last season but still managed to secure some strong warriors into their roster, so their odds to get to Ultimate Conquest weren't looking bad at all. Once the preparations were done, Scythe, the queen of [N0X] registered the alliance for the first round and on that night, everyone eagerly waited to see who they are going to face. It didn't take long till the raven with the matchmaking arrived and as expected, the enemy is not going to be an easy one.

The enemy for the first round was going to be [ili], an alliance known by [N0X] fairly well. They've met each-other in the past, the last fight being on the Siege of Winterfell and despite [N0X] playing very well in that round, [ili] managed to turn the tides of that round in the last minutes and win so there was a revenge for [N0X] to take in this Alliance Conquest fight. Once the opponent was known, the leadership adapted the strategy to fit exactly the opponents and once everything was set and done, everyone headed towards the Alliance Conquest battlefield, ready to give everything in their power to win.

The battlefield doors opened and everyone started entering, the attendance on both alliances it was very high for the first round, with 95 warriors in [N0X] against 98 warriors in [IlI]. and while [N0X] had a bit of alliance score and power advantage, the numbers count more in Alliance Conquest, so times were looking rought for [N0X]. 30 minutes after the battlefield opened, the horn sounding the start of the battle was heard and the [N0X] racers equipped with the 2026 all-terrain flip flops were ready to rush the buildings.

After the first set of races, it was clear that the leadership didn't cheap out on the flipflops and bought original ones and the [N0X] took full advantage of it and managed to secure both outposts, the Tower of Warrior and Temple of Mother but now it was time for the hard part, swapping the rally leaders in. With slow marches coming from [IlI] the swap timing needed to be impeccable, and it was at least for 3 of the buildings, as [IlI] managed to intercept the tower swap.

While [IlI] decided to go for the Lannister Outpost, [N0X] prepared their defenses while their rally leaders started rallies to recover the tower.

15 offensive rallies for [N0X] were quickly formed and [IlI] responded with 19 on the outpost. Epic fights took place for both buildings with reinforcements dropping as low as 5 just to be replaced quickly but ultimately the [IlI] defenses failed while [N0X] managed to successfully defend their outpost.

While they lost that battle, [IlI] were relentlessly rallying every building that [N0X] was holding and now it was VERGO's time to defend the temple of mother and keep the healing speed secured for [N0X], very important in such a close round.

This particular fight was a very hard one for [N0X] as [IlI] sped their rallies and despite Vergo fighting valiantly his reinforcements dropped as low as one. But that one lonely soul and his 900.000 troops managed to protect the temple long enough for the reinforcements to arrive and once again [N0X] managed to save the building.

While they were being very busy with the temple they didn't notice the quick wave of rallies set on the tower and once again the tower fell into enemy hands and had to be recovered cause all the base stats buffs are tied to it and when the alliances are so close in power, if [IlI] managed to secure the outposts too they could turn the tides of the battle once again as they did in Siege of Winterfell.

After [IlI] took the port too and managing to defend the tower, a bit of panic settled in [N0X] hearths, will they manage to turn this fight around too?

No, they did not, as [N0X] instantly made a wave of rallies to recover the port and speeding them up took [III] completely by surprise. And then the things got very chaotic for the rest of the fight, with buildings being lost and recovered by both alliances in a matter of minutes, but with Casterly Rock and one of the ports locked down, [N0X] was still gaining more points per minute. But even like that, it was down to mines to settle the winner for this round.

The [N0X] racers were on point once again and they managed to secure both of the mines and then the swaps were executed flawlessly and despite [IlI] organizing waves after waves of rallies in desperation to recover the mines, the reinforcements were on point for [N0X] and they managed to keep them both and with that, secure the win.

As so once of the best rounds that [N0X] fought in all the Alliance Conquest seasons ended up with them winning and taking the revenge for that loss in Siege of Winterfell. Season starting great for them, but as they win, the opponents will get more and more dangerous. Will they be able to get enough wins to secure a top 16 at the end? We'll have to wait and see. See you all on the battlefield!
