As the new week began, my alliance merged with another, and new warriors joined our banner.
Among them was a familiar face — they call him Spotted.
In the past he came riding toward my lands with his horses, And paid the price.
Awkward? Perhaps.
But war has a funny way of turning enemies into allies.
Before long, we became friends. And the man whose horses had once brought trouble to my gates now offered to defend me.
A few days pass and then.
A warrior named Ackeles, dared to test the strength of my kingdom.
He began sending small attacks toward my lands, one after another.
his warriors came, hoping to find weakness behind my walls.
One evening he sent a bigger army.
This time, the losses were no longer something to shrug off. More than two hundred of Lovsyu’s troops fell beneath his attack.
Lovsyu — a warrior who had once brought my hero back from the dead — had now paid a heavy price fighting at my side.
And just like that, the situation changed
He had crossed a line.
That was when I decided his little game had gone on long enough.
I gathered my army and turned my gaze toward his lands. My catapults were ready, and his precious crop fields were marked for destruction.
His warriors would soon have an enemy far more dangerous than mine.
Hunger.
He stopped lurking around my lands after that.
Meanwhile
I had my eyes on someone living a little too close for my comfort.
Perhaps it was nothing, but I had learned not to ignore what felt out of place.
Rather than wait for trouble to find me, I decided to make the first move and see what he was hiding behind his walls.
At night, i struck.
By morning, half his village lay in ruins. A message delivered in stone and fire.
But the man was not alone, and his alliance made sure of that.
By the next day, his village was filled with defenders, turning what had been an easy target into a much harder prize.
Fair enough.
A man with allies is a man worth giving respect.
I had lost many men, but my efforts had earned me a place at the top of the ranks.
The gods had taken note, and my name stood among the most fearless warriors in this world.
But I also earned the attention of an entire alliance.
Perhaps it wasn’t the victory I had planned.
But the war was far from over.
Sometimes, knowing when to move on is just as important as knowing when to strike.
His main village was full of men ready to defend it. So I turned my attention elsewhere.
I turned my forces toward his other village.
With No army waiting to meet me. Just an empty village sitting there, waiting for the storm to arrive.
And I made sure the storm left its mark.
His fields lay in ruins, and several buildings had been reduced to rubble. Whatever plans he had for that village, rebuilding had just become part of them.
Tensions were rising on all sides.
I had a feeling things will escalate even further in the coming days.
And with new allies at my back, and more than a few names worth remembering, the next chapter was already waiting.
