In the second week of the 3rd server transfer, The K Alliance launched invasions into Valakas, Gillian, and Heine during this Siege War. The attacks on Valakas and Gillian were executed by small, elite forces. The K Alliance's Auto Series infiltrated Valakas, while Dangyeol invaded Gillian, demonstrating formidable combat power by breaching deep into the castles multiple times. However, due to their small numbers, holding the castles was impossible. Recognizing this, the No-Tongsu Alliance focused on reclaiming the castles rather than engaging in drawn-out combat, ultimately maintaining their triple-castle control.
A large force was deployed to Heine. Multiple blood pledges—including Decon's Master Team (Avengers) as well as Astaire's Legend and Revenge—joined forces to capture Kent Castle right at the start of the siege and held it until the end. However, with Decon left undefended during this maneuver, all of Decon's castles were lost, resulting in a net decrease in total castle holdings for The K Alliance.
In Ken Rauhel and Gunther, the No-Tongsu Alliance crushed the Noble Alliance—including Jalnan and Wang, who had declared independence—and took control of the servers. The Noble Alliance launched a counter-invasion into Deporouge but failed to capture a castle, resulting in a heavy blow to one of the three rising neutral factions alongside Agibalsen and Kereteam. Of course, this is still preliminary skirmishing. With the end of the 3rd server transfer approaching, each alliance is expected to move quietly to set up what they consider the 'real battlefield'.
Unshaken Defense Despite Noble Alliance Invasion – Deporouge
In Deporouge, anti-King forces—including the existing Dokdo Pledge—joined with the Noble Alliance, who launched a counter-invasion after being pushed out of Ken Rauhel and Gunther, to issue a challenge to the No-Tongsu Alliance.
Fierce combat ensued as a sizable force launched the attack, but the main force of Ddolki and the returning Jeontu Myeongga in this 3rd transfer proved formidable. The anti-King forces shifted their attacks between Kent Castle and Windawood Castle from multiple angles, but failed to breach the outer gate barricades and were repeatedly forced to retreat after being cut off by numerous interception squads.
Around the 45-minute mark, the anti-King forces redirected their target to the Orc Fortress, where the Dokdo Pledge succeeded in completing an imprint. However, they were unable to defend it. The No-Tongsu Alliance drove the enemies out of the fortress and deliberately held off on imprinting, surrounding the Guardian Tower and holding out against attacks until just before the end of the siege.
Then at the 59th minute—with just 1 minute remaining—the No-Tongsu Alliance imprinted the Orc Fortress and blocked the enemy's approach until the end, maintaining their triple-castle control structure.
Opened Castle Gates Repeatedly, But Had No Forces to Defend – Valakas
In Valakas, a small elite force from The K Alliance carried out an invasion. The overall atmosphere was quite peculiar. The invading team from The K Alliance appeared more interested in 'enjoying the battle' than 'taking the castle,' whereas the No-Tongsu Alliance was determined to 'protect the castle no matter what.'
Leveraging powerful firepower, The K Alliance breached Kent Castle right at the start of the siege and successfully executed an imprint. When the No-Tongsu Alliance immediately counterattacked to reclaim the castle, The K Alliance pivoted to Windawood Castle, fracturing the defense line and expanding their numbers inside to secure an imprint on Win Castle as well.
However, defense was impossible due to their small numbers. Whenever the No-Tongsu Alliance reclaimed a castle, The K Alliance would breach Win Castle again for a re-imprint, then move to Kent Castle, advancing all the way to the Guardian Tower to achieve a second imprint on Kent Castle. In the final phase, after imprinting a castle, they even resorted to spawn-camping PK at teleport points without bothering to set up barricade lines.
Conversely, the No-Tongsu Alliance focused on reclaiming castles rather than engaging the invaders, successfully re-imprinting immediately whenever a castle was taken. As a result of this dynamic, the siege ended with the No-Tongsu Alliance holding the gates and recovering all three castles.
Dangyeol and Jeoseung's Guerrilla Warfare Achieves Imprints – Gillian
In Gillian, Dangyeol from The K Alliance invaded solo, engaging the No-Tongsu Alliance alongside a small contingent from the existing Jeoseung Pledge active on the Gillian server.
Given the massive disparity in numbers on this server, the No-Tongsu Alliance intercepted the invasion force from the start and stabilized their defense by placing interception squads out to the flag line. Outnumbered, Dangyeol and Jeoseung adopted a guerrilla warfare strategy, shifting between Kent Castle and Windawood Castle in constant attempts to disrupt the defenders.
An opening appeared around the 30-minute mark. The defense line at Win Castle's main gate was breached, allowing the attacking force to infiltrate inside, where Dangyeol successfully completed an imprint to capture the castle. However, the No-Tongsu Alliance launched a fierce counterattack. Immediately upon losing the castle, they launched a counter-offensive, quickly breaching the outer gate barricade line. Although Dangyeol set up barricades around the Guardian Tower to resist, they could not hold back the swarming forces and surrendered the castle once more.
Afterward, Dangyeol and Jeoseung continued searching for gaps, but with the main castle defense remaining firm, they headed to the Orc Fortress around the 53-minute mark. Their attack landed with sharp precision, toppling the Guardian Tower, but the No-Tongsu Alliance responded by switching the castle lord. After probing Win Castle once more, they attacked the Orc Fortress again and secured an entry path to the Guardian Tower, but failed to achieve an imprint as their Monarch was unable to reach it before time ran out.
The outcome was the No-Tongsu Alliance maintaining their triple-castle control. Nonetheless, the combined forces of Dangyeol and Jeoseung mounted a persistent challenge throughout the full hour, achieving the notable feat of securing a castle imprint.
Took Kent Castle, But Left Their Main Base Empty – Heine
In Heine, an invasion force assembled featuring Decon's Master Team alongside key members from Astaire server's Legend and Revenge. Unlike the earlier operations in Valakas and Gillian, the invasion force fielded substantial numbers, resulting in a distinctly different battle dynamic.
Targeting Kent Castle from the opening moment of the siege, the invasion force launched a fierce assault that swiftly flipped castle ownership. Once Master Team completed the imprint, they rushed to the castle gates to establish a defense line. The No-Tongsu Alliance immediately counterattacked in an effort to reclaim Kent Castle.
For the entire hour, the No-Tongsu Alliance pressed their attempts to reclaim the castle. Heavy pushes caused the barricade line to buckle several times, allowing some enemy forces to penetrate inside, but The K Alliance quickly reinforced from the rear to secure a complete hold. In the end, aside from the initial ownership change at Kent Castle during the first engagement, no further imprints took place, and the siege concluded with Kent Castle falling into enemy hands.
The Heine invasion has sparked widespread discussion regarding future strategic directions. While taking Kent Castle was an encouraging achievement for the invasion force, all castles on their home server of Decon were lost in the process. With server transfers still ongoing and tactical hit-and-run tactics frequently employed to exhaust opponents' transfer limits, it remains to be seen whether Heine will receive further reinforcements or if forces will shift back to another server.
