Dark clouds on the horizon - Alliance Conquest Season 24 Round 3 - [N0X] vs [RoD]

Video Trailer

As September it's getting closer and closer to its end, the Alliance Conquest Season 24 it's heading towards the 3rd round. First 2 rounds went great for [N0X] that managed to win against the [ili] and [31O] by quite a large margin. While the victories made everyone happy, they knew that being so high in the rankings means the opponent they're going to get will be very strong, maybe even undefeatable. That didn't bring their morale down as they were determined to try and win or at least put up the best fight they can, so strategies were made and put in place to ensure that. As it was already Friday late in the night, it was time for Scythe, the queen of [N0X], to register the alliance and hope for the best.

As soon as the clock showed midnight the raven with the matchmaking result arrived at [N0X] base and sadly for [N0X] it was as bad as it could be, [N0X] was set to face [RoD]. Who is [RoD] you might ask? [RoD] is a strong alliance formed mostly from the old members of [N3o], an alliance that has more strong warriors than [N0X] does. That didn't discourage [N0X] though and they were determined to do their best and get as many points as possible to try and not fall too behind on their goal. The match was set at 19:00 so the [N0X] leadership used the hours left till the actual fight to strategize the fight the best they could do. Once everything was set in place and everyone in [N0X] got their personal assignments it was time for everyone to take their best commanders and troops and march towards Alliance Conquest battlefield. They arrived right when the battlefield gates opened, and everyone started stepping inside and setting their camps on the assigned position.

With just a few seconds left to enter, it was looking like [N0X] is having a bit of number advantage, to what help nobody knows as [RoD]'s raw strength was just insane compared with [N0X]. The battle started with the opening of the 2 outposts, the temple of the mother and tower of the warrior.

Once again, the [N0X] racers were top notch, and they managed to secure 3 of the 4 buildings but now it was time to swap them and that would be a very complicated thing with [RoD] interceptors flying by. The first swap was as always; the Targaryen Outpost and the team tried to bring Mickyvee and his kangaroo army in

Unfortunately, Env0y from [RoD] border patrol was ready to intercept the swap and [N0X] only managed to get 2 souls in before they got caught and sent back home.

VERGO had the same faith on the temple of mother, very hard to do swaps against an alliance that can send 40 people to solo you.

The only successful swap was putting Bearface in the Lannister Outpost and [N0X] had to keep him there for as much as possible if they wanted to keep the ranking points loss as small as possible. Helped by the reinforcements, Bearface fought very well against solos, so well that [RoD] had to do rallies to take him out. [RoD] didn't bother to time their first wave of rallies thinking Bearface is an easy target, guess Bear in his name wasn't a good clue, but somehow helped by reinforcements, he managed to outlast the rallies and that pissed [RoD] warriors off.

The next wave had a lot more rallies and they were timed so there was no chance for [N0X] to hold that, but the time they hold'it helped them to score a few more hundred points. The ports were split equally between the alliances and [N0X] managed to swap Sir Coppard successfuly there, but he didn't last long as the solos next to [RoD]'s base are just ruthless and now [RoD] was controlling all the battlefield.

Meanwhile [N0X] kept trying to rally the [RoD] buildings but with little to no success as their members were very strong so all that was left were the [RoD] personal points and of course, Casterly Rock and the mines. Once again [N0X] managed to race flawlessly and even the swap went great and now Balrum was residing in the Casterly Rock, waiting for guests.

Once again, a crushing wave of solos were launched, but Balrum isn't really a target you want to keep soloing so [RoD] had to once again rely on rallies.

While defending against solos worked great, defend against that many well timed rallies its close to impossible so [N0X] had to admit defeat on defending the Casterly Rock.

What they couldn't do in terms of building defense they did by taking [RoD] personal points, and [N0X] was already at 40k points even before the mines opened.

Once again, the racers went insane and managed to secure both mines, but [RoD] border patrol was there once again and only one of the mines was secured by [N0X] with Balrum. Probably as many as 100 solos were launched by [RoD] in an attempt to quickly recover the mine, but [N0X] was once again on point with the reinforcements and managed to secure a few thousand points before [RoD] decided to rely on rallies and take the mine back and with that the round basically ended for both alliances.

While they lost, [N0X] did an amazing job in this round and managed to secure 50k points from where in the past seasons they barely managed 35-40k. Great result for them, a result that keeps them in cards for the Ultimate Conquest at half season. How will the next 3 rounds go for them? Time will tell. See you all on the battlefield!
