Timing or luck? (Invasion)

Timing or luck? (Invasion)

Phantom79 is becoming a feared hunter in almost every kingdom in Westeros. The young wolf, who has accumulated more than 9.5 billion merit points over the months, has already invaded practically every kingdom within his reach, making almost every player know his name. However, a respected hunter does not live on simple invasions alone. Attacking farms, weaker players, or those who are not prepared for a war is something every merit hunter can do. But challenging an alliance when all their players are online is something few invaders dare to do.

The Alliance Conquest season has already ended for FDH, but Phantom79 still has not managed to get rid of his additional T5 troops he built for the event, which were causing some trouble and keeping his weight 150 million above normal. As a result, in some kingdoms where he only needed one scroll, he started needing two or three, which is a problem.

Even so, there is still a large number of kingdoms within his reach with just one scroll, ready for a new invasion. With his T4 troops restored, Phantom began checking kingdom after kingdom until, for the first time, he found a castle in kingdom 500 belonging to an alliance he had never attacked before.

The ExF alliance used to live in a different kingdom, but moved to kingdom 500 a few weeks ago to breathe new air. Phantom had invaded them in the past, but had never attacked the main alliance, which made him wonder how that kingdom would react if he invaded and attacked them.

That was not a usual time, so it was strange that one of their players was unbubbled. At that moment, the alliance was participating in the Kingʼs Landing Conquest event, and almost all its players were online in battle gear. Phantom found himself stuck, not knowing what to do.

Phantom spotted Ali27 on the right side of the alliance hive. While logging into the scout account, he noticed that ExF had already been playing the event for 55 minutes. In other words, all members would be free in less than five minutes. And if Phantom was not fast enough, he would have problems.

The internet was terrible, and the scout account was not loading. One minute passed, then two minutes, until the account finally opened and he managed to see what Ali27 had inside her castle. And that was the only good news at that moment.

That was definitely a target Phantom could bring down. ALi27 had an infantry formation, but did not have Sinara, Rhea, or Latz Karin. In other words, no synergy. The perfect type of target for Phantom's cavalry. ALi27 had just over 8 million T4 troops and almost no T1 troops to form the frontline and help with the defense.

And incredibly, he was online, but was not participating in the event and was not even in battle gear. Did he arrive late, or did he simply not want to participate in the event? It does not matter, because he is about to be zeroed.

Phantom was not sure whether players could leave the event map and return to the world map or not, since this was a new event and it was the first time players were able to play it. But considering that the rules were similar to those of Alliance Conquest, Phantom parked his castle next to Ali27, and with less than three minutes remaining before the event ended, Phantom launched the attacks.

The ExF players were playing the event, doing their best to leave that match with a victory, when suddenly a notification appeared in the alliance chat. One of their members was being attacked. But how? Why would someone be attacking the alliance at that moment? Some players tried to go to the world map to try to intervene, but it was not possible.

Phantom sent his cavalry, which marched at an impressive speed, hitting the wall and causing a large fire in the fortifications. His army eliminated 6.5 million troops while suffering only 50k casualties. That was a war that Ali27 had no way of winning.

The troops returned, and Phantom did not have much time. Less than two minutes separated him from the end of the event and from suffering the consequences coming from the EXF players. So he quickly healed his troops and launched the second attack.

The second attack declared that the battle had come to an end. Phantom had only 6k losses, an impressive number that only shows how experienced his army is. On the other side of the battlefield, Li27 lost 3.7 million soldiers, which meant his entire army. In addition, the powerful cavalry of the young wolf's phantom brought his Lord back as a prisoner, a symbolic trophy that announced that the battles in that kingdom had come to an end.

The event ended, and when ExF was ready to react, Phantom had already disappeared. He was in the shadows, and all his soldiers were very well protected. Do you think he was lucky? Or do you think his experience saved him? I know one thing: ExF will not let things go easily if he dares to step into this kingdom again, because this time he got out alive, but there will not be a second chance.
