The 7th of June, Saturday, after a much-prolonged standstill, the clans of Aria roar with battle cries once more as the sieges unfolded over the weekends. Several clans participated to siege the highly coveted Aden castle. Among the attackers were ArmedAssault, ArenaXL, Hybrid, LightningStrike, SignumVires, Solitude, and Unleashed. Castle owners like DesertWolf contribute to the effort by Assisting in guarding the encampments.
The front gates were brought down within the first 10 minutes of the siege by using a combination of Siege Golem and Swoop Cannon. The ensuing battles in the front part of the castles were too intense for the attackers, mainly due to the Aden guards and defense put up by Astronix, along with its allies. Coey regrouped his forces and made a second attempt to enter through the western wall. On the third attempt, they managed to bring down the wall 1 hour into the siege.
Despite the following loss of the encampment and siege golem, SignumVires managed to regain an encampment and make a push for the castle interior. Their primary tactic was to lure out the guards, but having missed a couple of life control towers, the Aden guards just respawned too fast for them. Lack of coordination between the attackers was also very apparent. One hour and fifty minutes into the siege they were still trying to lure the guards. As the final 5 minutes expired, siege ends and the Siege on Aden castle fails.
Meanwhile, over at Blackbird, there was a concurrent siege for Aden Castle. The attackers were the clans Untouchables and Enomenos from the Warmongrels alliance. Ten minutes into the siege they bring down the outer castle wall. Another five minutes and they managed to destroy half of the inner castle gate, at the cost of their entire front line. The alliance regroups outside the wall, only to be engaged by their rival alliance, the Einherjars. The Warmongrels were wiped out. They regrouped in retaliation to the Einherjars, and a massive alliance war ensued ‘til the end of the siege. The Warmongrels fail their attempt at Aden, being outnumbered by their rival alliance.
On the following day, Aria, the clans Solitude, Arkyris, LightningStrike, ArmedAssault, ArenaXL, and InfinityXT assemble on a Sunday afternoon in Schuttgart to prepare for their assault on Schuttgart Castle, held by the clan Endless. On the defending side were the clans Sanctuary and CanesVenatici. Additional forces from castle owners DesertWolf, Myth, and Infinity arrive as well to aid in sieging the castle.
On the first five minutes, the attackers break the gates and slice through the defenders. Another 5 minutes pass and they arrive at the seal room. Shivanlancer of the clan Solitude manages to engrave the seal of ruler, only seventeen minutes into the siege.
The now-dethroned owners of Schuttgart totally abandons the siege effort and did not attempt to retake their castle. The remaining one hour and forty three minutes that followed was nothing more than trash-talking by players.
Siege ends, and Solitude clan is now the new owner of Schuttgart.
Over on Blackbird, the clans DeathBringer and Enomenos signed up for a Giran siege, but fail to show up during the siege time. Camarada still holds Giran Castle.
