As the Summer is packing its bags and prepares to leave Westeros, the Alliance Conquest's Season 24 it's getting closer and closer to its end, now heading towards the 4th round. [N0X] record isn't looking too bad after 3 rounds, with 2 wins against [iIi] and [31O] and one expected lose against [RoD] but if they want to keep their chances at Ultimate Conquest alive, they need to continue winning. In the 2 days after the [RoD] match the leadership carefully strategized everything they could about the 4th round, especially since they noticed that based on the current rankings, they'll meet a quite strong alliance. Once the strategy was made and announced to the other alliance members, it was time for Scythe to register the alliance, and everyone waited on their toes for the matchmaking to be done at midnight.

Nobody was surprised once the matchmaking was done and the opponent announced, as based on the rankings, [CRY] was the closest to [N0X] in ranking points and the most obvious opponent. [N0X] met [CRY] a few times in the past in both Alliance Conquest and Siege of Winterfell and despite winning back then, none of the fights against them were easy so everyone in [N0X] had to bring their A game once again if they wanted to get the win. To make things even worse, this time [CRY] had guests for this fight, a few of the strongest warriors from Westeros, ImperialRock, light Yagami and Menat, decided to fight on their side. That made a fight that was announcing to be hard even harder, but despite knowing they're going to be soloed the whole fight, [N0X] was determined to win and keep the chances to qualify to Ultimate Conquest going. The match day passed quickly while being busy with the last-minute strategies and it was soon time for everyone to head towards the Alliance Conquest battlefield. They arrived just in time as the battlefield gates opened and tens of warriors from both alliances leading millions of troops each started entering the battlefield.

With a few seconds left to enter battlefield, [N0X] was having a serious lead in terms of numbers, 97 warriors for [N0X] vs 84 for [CRY] but in Alliance Conquest that doesn't mean much if you aren't very coordinated and face very strong warriors on the other side. The racers took their places in the starting pits as the round was about to start within a few seconds.

[N0X] racers did great on the first set of buildings and they secured all 4 and then the swaps were made, which were all successful and as expected the solos from [CRY] started as soon as the swaps were made. Their targets of choice for now? Mickyvee in Targaryen Outpost and LordStrandi in Tower of the Warrior. Besides having to keep both buildings under constant reinforcements, [N0X] seen themselves into other troubles too as [CRY] were preparing to assault the Temple of Mother too, with rallies this time.

The rallies were filled and launched and withing seconds they started hitting the temple in a quick succession but [N0X] had VERGO guarding the temple, one of their strongest warriors and with the help of quick reinforcements coming from [N0X] base, despite dropping to 15 reinforcements and sometimes even lower, [N0X] managed to defend the temple, and good that they deed as the solos from [CRY] would've bled them dry if they lost the healing speed from temple.

Seeing that [N0X] shot callers were doing a great job calling buildings under attack and they weren't able to take any of them, the solos were bouncing from building to building in an attempt to maybe run them dry on marching hastens.

While the attacks were ruthless and kept coming every few seconds, the [N0X] reinforcements didn't slow down, and [CRY] was still without a building at least till the ports opened for attacks. The [N0X] racers did great once again manage to secure the Lannister's Port but this time ImperialRock managed to take the Targaryen Port.

[CRY] now had a decision to make, lose their strongest soloer and make some points or attempt to swap ImperialRock from there. They decided to take the 2nd option and while for [N0X] that ment a higher bill to pay, they managed to take the port back and they were having all 6 buildings for now generating quite a lot of points. It was now time for the last important building till mines to open, the Casterly Rock. Unfortunately for [N0X], [CRY] won the race on this one with Darkesteagle and this time, they decided to give up on one of their people soloing, and put Menat in there.

This was the sort of good news bad news for [N0X] as defending become easier for them but considering how strong Menat was, there was no chance for them to get the Casterly Rock back, so they had to keep everything else to offset the points given by the CR. And so, they did, at least for a while cause as the fight progressed, [CRY] managed to take the Targaryen Port a few times with ImperialRock but every time he decided to leave and [N0X] took'it back.

The fight progressed in [N0X] favor, they gained advantage slowly but surely, but the win was still within [CRY]'s reach if they managed to take both mines, so if they sneaked ImperialRock and light Yagami over the border and take them both it would've been over for [N0X]. [N0X] goal now was to take at least one of the mines and keep 'it long enough to secure some points from it.

And then disaster happened, [CRY] managed to secure both mines, one of them with ImperialRock, so [N0X] last chance was to intercept the swap on the 2nd one or to kick Darkesteagle from there. No swap was made so [N0X] made a wave of rallies to secure the mine, and they managed to do so with one of their strongest warriors, Balrum.

With ImperialRock in the other mine and Menat in Casterly Rock, [CRY] still tried to take the mine back with rallies, waves after waves made every minute in hopes that one of the waves will kick Balrum out or that [N0X] members are too tired or too poor to keep sending reinforcements. But [N0X] reinforcers weren't either tired or poor and with the help of the constant reinforcements, Balrum managed to keep the mine and together with the other buildings, set [N0X] on the path to victory.

The fight ended with [N0X]'s victory, a very hard fought and very costly victory that keeps them on track to Ultimate Conquest. They took the rewards and head back to [N0X] castle and instantly went into quests to get more marching hastens and healing hastens as there are still 2 rounds left to play from this season, and they have to win them both. Will they manage to do that? We'll have to wait and see. See you all on the battlefield!
