The Dissident's Comeback Story Amidst Fierce Combat! Key Highlights of the 4th Siege War

The 4th Siege War was defined by the intense battles on both established and emerging servers. On the Christer and Isilote servers, while the ruling alliances remained unchanged compared to the 3rd Siege War, the reputation of these servers as 'must-watch' battlegrounds held true, with fierce fighting lasting the entire hour. The underdog Star and Guardian alliances showed relentless fighting spirit, while the ruling lines remained on high alert, providing a dopamine-filled spectacle for all spectators.

On the Lindel server, the rivalry between the Sword and Sky-Undefeated alliances had previously kept the Kent and Windwood castles evenly split. However, this siege saw a shift in the balance of power: the Sword alliance seized both castles, pushing the Sky-Undefeated alliance back to the Orc Fortress.

The Sayha server saw a remarkable turnaround by the dissident forces, who were previously at a significant disadvantage. The former ruling Winner alliance split following the departure of the Winner and Reaper clans, reforming as the 'Legend alliance.' Meanwhile, the Hangil alliance overcame a four-fold disadvantage in size to secure a decisive victory.

Same Picture, Yet Thrilling - Christer

The Christer server is considered to have the most passionate dissident forces. Although the Seop-Seop alliance held all three castles through the 4th Siege War, the Star alliance never lost its drive, actively challenging the castles with massive numbers and creating a compelling dynamic.

As soon as the Siege War began, the Star alliance launched an assault on Windwood Castle. They employed 'east-west' diversion tactics, shifting their attack between the east and south gates to find gaps, while simultaneously pivoting to Kent Castle whenever they sensed an opening. They even managed to secure an 'insurance policy' by diverting troops to raid the Orc Fortress.

With the Seop-Seop alliance holding the two main castles and the Star alliance taking the Orc Fortress, the battlefield expanded to all three locations. The fighting saw constant back-and-forth, with the Star alliance repeatedly pulling troops away from the Orc Fortress to defend against or launch attacks on Windwood Castle.

As the siege progressed, the center of gravity shifted toward the Orc Fortress. The Star alliance fortified the area around the Guardian Tower to prevent the 'Bound' process, while the Seop-Seop alliance circled, looking for an opening for their Master to enter. In a familiar turn of events, the Orc Fortress changed hands multiple times in the final minutes, but it was the Seop-Seop alliance that succeeded in the final 'Bound' with just two minutes remaining.

While the results on the Christer server remain consistent, it remains a server where upsets are always possible. The Orc Fortress is always a chaotic mess until the very end, the Star alliance refuses to give up despite being pushed back, and the Seop-Seop alliance remains diligent rather than arrogant. For now, Christer is expected to retain its title as the 'most exciting server for Siege War.'

The Hardened Iron of Age - Isilote

Isilote is also known for constant combat, even if the siege results ended in a three-castle sweep. The Guardian alliance fought hard to take castles from the Age alliance, but the Age alliance's defense proved even more formidable, leading to a true clash between spear and shield.

On Isilote, the Guardian alliance launched simultaneous attacks on Kent and Windwood castles from the start. The screen was filled with massive crowds clashing, moving from the Kent east gate to the Windwood south and east gates, and back to Kent.

While the offensive was as stormy as ever, the Age alliance's strengthened defense shone through. Unlike previous sieges where they occasionally allowed enemies inside or struggled at the Guardian Tower, this time they actively intercepted the enemy outside the outer gates, keeping the castle secure.

After nearly an hour of fruitless attacks, the Guardian alliance made a final attempt on the Orc Fortress, but the Age alliance saw it coming. After a final skirmish outside the north gate of the Orc Fortress, the Age alliance successfully defended all castles and claimed victory once again.

Sword Alliance Takes the Lead - Lindel

The Lindel server had been defined by a rivalry where the Sword and Sky-Undefeated alliances each held one major castle. However, today's siege saw the Sword alliance take both Kent and Windwood, while the Sky-Undefeated alliance retreated to the Orc Fortress to plan for the future.

The siege began with the Sword alliance attacking Windwood Castle, held by the Sky-Undefeated alliance. The defenders held out well for about 20 minutes before their formation began to crumble. Although the Sky-Undefeated alliance managed to repel the attackers by swapping their Master, they couldn't recover their formation, and the Sword alliance took Windwood Castle five minutes later.

The Sky-Undefeated alliance spent most of the remaining time trying to reclaim Windwood, but the Sword alliance's defense was rock solid. When they shifted their focus to Kent Castle, they were met by intercepting forces, leading to a war of attrition in the fields that ultimately favored the Sword alliance.

With little time left, the Sky-Undefeated alliance made a final push, but after being blocked, they turned to the Orc Fortress. By the end of the siege, the Sword alliance held Kent and Windwood, while the Sky-Undefeated alliance held the Orc Fortress.

The Dissident's Comeback Story! - Sayha

The atmosphere on the Sayha server is shifting. The Winner alliance previously held a much larger force than the Hangil alliance, but after Hangil took two castles last week, rumors surfaced that the Winner and Reaper clans had left the Winner alliance. Consequently, only the Legend and Top clans participated in this siege as the 'Legend alliance.'

The main stage for the Sayha siege was Kent and Windwood. Early combat focused on Windwood, where the outer gate fell in 10 minutes, leading to the castle changing hands every few minutes. The Legend alliance then targeted Kent, and while the Hangil alliance returned to defend it, Legend reclaimed Windwood. After 30 minutes of back-and-forth, the situation returned to the status quo.

After a brief lull, the Hangil alliance resumed their attack on Windwood at the 37-minute mark. The Legend alliance defended well against fierce attacks on the south and east gates. However, with less than 10 minutes remaining, the Legend forces guarding the south gate suddenly abandoned their positions and rushed toward the Guardian Tower. The Hangil alliance had successfully infiltrated.

In the ensuing chaos, Windwood Castle changed hands, putting the Legend alliance in a desperate spot. They chose to attack Kent Castle instead of reclaiming Windwood. With three minutes left, they breached the south gate, but the Hangil alliance had already secured the upper hand at the Guardian Tower. As the ruling clan swapped, the inner-castle personnel were teleported out, and upon returning, they found the Hangil alliance guarding the gates.

The siege ended with the Hangil alliance successfully entering both Kent and Windwood castles. There are also reports that the Tushin clan, which took the Orc Fortress, is affiliated with the Hangil alliance. If confirmed, this would be a rare case of an underdog force overcoming adversity to achieve a three-castle sweep.
