The only noise I can hear was the gentle breeze calming the lands before the storm. It was 8:00pm GMT+8, our forces gathered and our teams were formed, I was placed in charge of Sapphire Squadron. I knew they were coming, I knew the enemy was fast approaching. ” RALLY YOUR COURAGE, READY YOUR MIGHT TONIGHT WE DIE PROTECTING THIS SPOT…. HERE THEY COME!!! FOR HONORRRRR!!!”…Those were the last words I could utter as Captain as the enemy and us locked into combat.. I knew it was going to be a tough fight, but I didn’t this many of them. Enemies everywhere, my eyes saw death left right and centre, the stench of blood reeked across the sky. “Chain Lightning” My dear elementalist yelped as she was swarmed by the enemy fighters, like bee’s around honey. I can’t even possibly remember how many times my scout uttered the words “Resurrection” as I attempted in vaine to revive my fallen brethren… Chaos was everywhere, the once peaceful wind gushing against me was gone, all that remained was the sound of spells and swords clashing…. “Lightning” zap One down… zap two down…. zap three down, I mowed down as many as I could with my magic but there were simply too many of them. “Vortex Slash“, screamed my fighter as he hurtled a flurry of violent swings at the enemy troops, “another one down, only 100 more to go” I thought to myelf as I hastily swallowed a healing potion or two..
My family did die a couple of times but each time, with more determination than the last I kept re-warping back into the zone, and almost everytime I would be swarmed by those Celestians almost immediately as they knew I was their biggest threat. Luckily I had a surprise or two up my sleeve and spawned the ferocious Golden Spiders which tore apart at all those who dare stand near… At this point in time we we’re up against Four other great armies all against us. Calling for reinforcements and waiting seemed like an eternity. Our forces were getting annhilated and my men around me were losing the battle and losing hope. Even I started to give up hope, but I knew that other teams had their hands full in Via Fluvial also.. Just when all things seemed lost my family regained consciousness and rejoined the fight, whichever angel brought me back to life I was greatful, for I was able to be part of the greatest fightback ever for our reinforcements had arrived.
Thinking we had succesfully repelled the oncoming assaults from the enemy, we let our guards down…. CloudNiners surrounded our troops and took advantage of the entrenched cliff. Surrounded by turrets and dolls we all died the moment the declaration of war was signed off… they’re massacred us in an instant not leaving a single Wrathian alive, time of death? 9:30pm. We will have our revenge one day…. Having said that CloudNiners didn’t get to rejoice for long as the army from the south belonging to Fenrir and the army from the west belonging to Dominion rushed to the cliffside and destroyed any reminance that cloudnine was ever there within minutes.
Meanwhile in Via Fluvial
Right from the very beginning Via Fluvial was under heavy assault. With our member online count low and vet online count even lower, it was a struggle to hold off as we did. We ended up losing Via Fluvial within the first hour. At 9:00pm we attempted to regroup and assault Via Fluvial once mor, and with the angel of war on our side things were looking good. We annihilated Anonymous with the help of a squad of Fenrir’s. We ended up winning the colony at 9:15pm.
When everything seemed to be going fine, Anonymous launched their final assault. Them we could handle… them & Vendetta was a whole different story. We we’re outnumbered and over powered. The lagging didnt help much either. We all tried as much as we could but we couldn’t stall them long enough. The colony in Via Fluvial fell at 9:50pm.
At 9:55pm, I remember being directed by our great general to pull our forces towards Via Fluvial for one last ditch attempt. Desperate as we were, we tried our best but in the end the lagness was too great for us. We knew we had lost Via Fluvial this time.Tick Tick Tick…. 10:00pm finally came and with it the end of the Colony Wars, it was finally over. I was glad all the bloodshed was done for the night but was saddened by the fact that we had failed the emblem on our shoulders, we had failed our faction….
This was the result..
This is what we were up against…
Good work everyone who attended. We lost this time due to people having RL commitments. We will get our colonies back next time
