Alliance Conquest | S24 | Round 2 | WxD vs PRP

A grand start to the season was the one faced by WxD in Alliance Conquest.

After a tense clash against KGU where they managed to snatch the final victory, Vlodek was fully satisfied with the progress of the season, the group absolutely wanted to secure a ticket to play the final phase of the competition against the best sixteen alliances of the kingdom, and at this pace it was not a mirage for them.

‘’Who knows who we will face today’’ he thought doubtfully during the wait while deployed on the battlefield. The members of WxD had arrived in large numbers today to face the third round and while they waited for the arrival of the mysterious rivals, they were busy with the last preparations.

A few minutes before the start of the match, on the horizon, an imposing army made its appearance fate put PRP on their path!

The rival alliance was without a doubt of very high level, also a strong candidate to rank among the best sixteen at the end of alliance conquest. Led by the incredible Slarchik, Expedition 33 they would certainly be a hard obstacle for WxD to overcome today.

‘’It will be a surely balanced match, we must pay a lot of attention to reinforcing the buildings under our control very quickly’’ was Vlodek’s thought, knowing the offensive strength of the rivals.

‘’In past seasons we had quite a few difficulties against them where they also managed to overpower us’’ the members of the leadership recalled ‘’but today our organization is superior, we are convinced that it will lead us to victory’’ they concluded the speech showing great confidence in their companions who would lead them in the upcoming battle.

The heat of the sun shining high above their heads was being felt. The air was tense and the breaths of the deployed fighters heavy, the painful wait of the sixty minutes of clash was used to sharpen their swords and spears.

When the awaited clash began, it was immediately one of the two alliances to have the better start… it was WxD!

The capture of three out of four available buildings put them on the right path immediately forcing their rivals to take the initiative… and so it was!

PRP, taking advantage of a not excellent swap by their rivals, managed to intercept and immediately capture Mother’s Temple bringing the score to two buildings each side.

It was however for them a bittersweet result because almost at the same time, the rally leaders of WxD launched the siege of Lannister Outpost managing to overpower the defender thanks to the strength of JustATurtle.

In the following minutes, Expedition 33 and his teammates decided to assault with rallies Warrior under the control of Strawberry, an ambitious target taking aim at one of the strongest fighters in the ranks of WxD. When the attacks landed… they were surprisingly effective!

The move of PRP was really clever: not only did they manage to capture the building where WxD reinforcements were not sufficient, but they also showed they could stand against fighters like Strawberry who with the few reinforcements available did his best but could not maintain control of the position.

It was however once again, a bitter conquest for them…!

Taking inspiration from the match played against KGU, WxD’s strategy was to respond blow for blow, as soon as a building fell into enemy hands, Vlodek and his teammates managed to assault another almost simultaneously and this time it was Mother’s Temple.

A start of clash between the two alliances with fireworks and without restraint but the result close to the opening of the ports always saw WxD protecting their advantage of three buildings to one.

‘’Let’s capture the ports and put pressure on their shoulders’’ was the message spread by the leadership bringing the attention of their racers to the upcoming buildings.

When the ports opened… WxD managed to capture both of them!

The great speed shown by Astrryx and Problemka brought their alliance into a lead of five buildings to one. The members of PRP saw the gap in score between the two alliances start to grow more and more and they absolutely had to do something.

To stop the rivals’ escape, Expedition 33 and his teammates decided to assault Targaryen Outpost in possession of BLUE MANGO. When they landed… once again they were effective showing that the offensive strength of the group was of high level.

WxD’s response however did not take long with the group targeting Warrior. After a series of ruthless attacks, it finally fell with Slarchik who had to surrender to the strength of Jason and his Spear-Weakness formation which despite being countered by the enemy Inf-Bleeding, managed to prevail proving to be yet another hit landed in the space of a few moments.

‘’We are playing a great match’’ Vlodek thought even though he was bitter about not managing to resist the enemy sieges.

‘’As long as we replace the lost buildings with others, the result will remain favorable to us’’ Azuraz told him highlighting how WxD’s greater organization was proving effective on IlI.

But a surprise move was put into action by the rivals…!

When everyone seemed to be waiting for the imminent opening of Casterly Rock, Slarchik and his teammates with very fast and effective assaults managed to snatch control of Mother’s Temple again from WxD’s hands.

‘’It doesn’t matter, we keep focus high to capture the next building, it is without doubt more important’’ was the strategy decided by the leadership leaving therefore a gap to close the score difference which would become terribly large in case of CR capture by the rivals.

When Casterly Rock became available… it was WxD who obtained control of it!

The speed of Napoleon proved devastating reaching the objective first and capturing it for his group.

At the end of the sixty minutes of battle, the final victory went to… WxD!

‘’We were really effective in countering our rivals’ strategies by continuing to put pressure on them. We must continue with this spirit for the rest of the season!’’ was the message from WxD leadership before saying goodbye to their companions to return to their kingdoms.

‘’I was expecting a completely different level match’’ Vlodek confided to his allies during the march in home. In past seasons clashes against PRP were much more balanced so the WxD member was surprised by such a one-sided battle despite sporadic events.

‘’It must be said that from previous match we have improved a lot and high-level allies have joined our ranks, maybe as a group today we are superior again’’ Azuraz replied to his ally.

A two out of two that had not been seen for a long time for WxD. Will they continue this winning streak in the next round or will fate have something else in store for them? We will find out together!
