Victory for the No - Tong - Su Alliance! Key Highlights of the 7th Siege War

The No - Tong - Su Alliance claimed victory in the August 2nd Siege War, held during the second week of the first server transfer period. The alliance successfully captured both Kent and Windwood castles from their rivals, the The-K Alliance, in Kenlauhel and Pa'agrio—the The-K Alliance's home servers—and secured more castles across the entire server landscape.

Kenlauhel was a particular focal point today, as internal strife within the The-K Alliance led to a three-way power struggle. Following the departure of the GOD Alliance (from Kerenis) due to discord after last week's siege, the 'Balrog Corporation' clan withdrew from the The-K Alliance this week to become neutral, setting the stage for a three-way battle. In the ensuing siege, the No-Tong-Su Alliance took Windwood and Kent castles, while the Balrog Corporation seized the Orc fortress, leaving the The-K Alliance empty-handed on their home turf.

Pa'agrio also saw intense combat. As another home server for the The-K Alliance, both sides dispatched massive numbers of troops led by The-K's main forces to fight for control. However, the No-Tong-Su Alliance, which had successfully captured Kent Castle last week with superior combat prowess, managed to secure Windwood Castle in the final moments, successfully holding two castles.

With the The-K Alliance losing all castles on their main servers, they are expected to undergo major restructuring through server transfers as this week marks the end of the transfer period. The question remains whether they will regroup on main servers like Kenlauhel or Pa'agrio to launch a counterattack, or abandon the lost servers to plan for the future on a server where their allies hold stronger ground.

'Invasion Complete' - Kenlauhel

The Kenlauhel server concluded with the The-K Alliance losing all its castles; the No-Tong-Su Alliance took Windwood and Kent, while the Balrog clan, having split from The-K, secured the Orc fortress.

Most of the major fighting took place at Windwood Castle. After a brief skirmish at Kent Castle in the very early stages, the situation stabilized, allowing the No-Tong-Su Alliance to focus its full strength on Windwood. Meanwhile, the Balrog Corporation began its activities as a third force by quickly attacking the Orc fortress, which was largely ignored by others.

The battle for Windwood saw the The-K Alliance holding firm until the mid-to-late stages. As both sides concentrated their forces, the combat zone expanded outside the castle, but the barricade formation held. Seeing the Orc fortress as relatively safe, the Balrog clan repeatedly joined the Windwood fray to attack every visible clan before retreating back to the fortress.

Despite the constant fighting, Windwood seemed sturdy, but perhaps the chaos took its toll. Eventually, the defensive line began to buckle, starting at the east gate. Attempts to rotate troops to flank the enemy proved ineffective due to the sheer volume of opposing forces, and soon, individual attackers began breaching the interior.

With Windwood in turmoil, the outer gate barricades collapsed, leading to a full-scale battle for the Guardian Tower. The ownership of the castle shifted repeatedly between No - Tong - Su and The - K in a fierce struggle. The No - Tong - Su Alliance emerged as the final victor; they successfully tapped the tower with three minutes remaining, and as soon as they secured the 'Bound' status, they rebuilt the outer gate barricades to seal the victory. Meanwhile, the Balrog clan, having successfully played the spoiler in the three-way fight, returned to the Orc fortress early to enter 'defense mode' and ultimately claimed it.

A Battle of Last-Second 'Bounds' - Pa'agrio

Pa'agrio was the site where the No-Tong-Su Alliance, led by the Hook team, successfully snatched Kent Castle last week. Today, they added Windwood Castle to their tally, marking a textbook success for their invasion campaign.

In Pa'agrio, combat was also concentrated on Windwood Castle. From the start, No-Tong-Su forces surrounded the castle, and the clash between the two massive armies filled the fields between the east and main gates. After dozens of minutes of intense fighting, the Windwood barricades began to show signs of giving way.

Once the enemy forces breached the gaps in the barricades, Windwood fell in an instant, triggering the battle for the 'Bound' status. The No - Tong - Su Alliance, having taken the castle, tried to set up a defense, but the sheer number of The-K Alliance troops quickly breached the outer gate, and the ownership changed as soon as the Guardian Tower battle began.

The speed of the 'Bound' attempts was even faster than the final moments in Kenlauhel. The-K and No-Tong-Su traded ownership every 1-2 minutes, creating a situation where it was difficult to even track which clan had successfully claimed the castle.

The No - Tong - Su Alliance put an end to this cycle. By successfully 'bounding' Windwood just before the siege ended, they established a defensive perimeter around the Guardian Tower. Despite a final all-out assault by the The-K Alliance, the siege timer expired, resulting in the loss of both Kent and Windwood castles from the The-K Alliance's home servers.

All Three Castles in the Hands of the Dissidents - Gunther

On the Gunther server, all three castles fell into the hands of the dissidents, led by the Wang clan. The Gunther Alliance, which had been losing ground during field skirmishes after the Wang clan joined the No-Tong-Su Alliance, had already begun to falter in their first siege after joining the The-K Alliance. This week, their strength was further depleted by the withdrawal of the The-K Alliance and several allied clans from the original Gunther Alliance.

Under the relentless assault of the No - Tong - Su Alliance, bolstered by powerful reinforcements, the Gunther Alliance tried to find a breakthrough by shifting between Windwood and Kent, but to no avail. The situation tilted heavily when Windwood, captured by the Pumgyeok-dan clan last week, fell first.

While continuing to fight for Windwood, the Gunther Alliance attempted to attack Kent Castle, but the defense was too strong, and they failed to break the barricade line. After a brief pause to regroup, they scouted Windwood again but found no openings. A second attempt at Windwood was also thwarted when they were flanked by enemy forces in front of the outer gate.

Ultimately, the Gunther Alliance abandoned the two main castles and diverted their forces to try and capture at least the Orc fortress, but No-Tong-Su forces were waiting there as well. Just before the siege ended, the No-Tong-Su Alliance captured the Orc fortress, completing the dissident takeover of all three castles on the Gunther server.
