Once the capture progress bar is full, the guild has successfully captured the stronghold. If, during the capture process, the guild's numbers are insufficient or the stronghold is completely repelled by other guilds, the capture progress will be reset.
In addition, various buff items will randomly spawn on the battlefield, granting players corresponding effects upon pickup. Traps are set up within and around the stronghold; players or guild teams that trigger them will suffer corresponding damage or negative effects. Traps can be dismantled by players with engineering skills or will become ineffective after being attacked a certain number of times.
Each player starts with two lives. Dying in a guild war ranking match is not a true death; it simply means the player cannot revive before the game ends and will remain in spectator mode.

The match is about to begin.
[3, 2, 1...]
The faint scent of grass was suddenly replaced by a rich aroma of bread.
Yu Xiangnan looked around.
The location we are in now appears to be a city-state... and in terms of architectural style, it has a typical European style.
The city walls were constructed from massive white stones, each carved with exquisite bas-reliefs. At intervals along the walls stood towers, each topped with a flag embroidered with the city's coat of arms. The eagles on the coat of arms were remarkably lifelike.
Yu Xiangnan slowly entered the city as he followed the bustling crowd.
The noise surged in like a tide.
The stone-paved streets meandered, flanked by bustling markets where merchants from all over the world hawked their strange and unusual goods.
In the central square of the city, a magnificent fountain was spouting water. Around the square, nobles dressed in gorgeous attire strolled leisurely, their clothes embroidered with gold thread and jewels, exuding luxury and nobility.
There are a lot of NPCs on this map...
Yu Xiangnan quickly opened the map in the lower left corner to check his location and the locations of ordinary strongholds.
Tap to expand the map; a blue dot indicates your current location, and yellow circles mark ordinary outposts. A countdown timer in the upper left corner indicates the countdown to the opening of an intermediate outpost.
Her current coordinates are: (799, -16, 35)
Location: [Azure Radiance City]
The first phase lasts for the first 3 days, during which ordinary strongholds are contested; the second phase lasts for 4-6 days, during which intermediate strongholds are contested, while ordinary strongholds can still be contested; the final phase lasts for 7-8 days, during which core strongholds are contested, and all strongholds can still be contested...
Of course, although there is no team voice chat in the points competition, there is a dedicated chat channel within the guild, where members can quickly send their real-time location coordinates to regroup quickly.
Her guild happens to have two members with the profession of "Engineer," which means they can quickly eliminate the traps around the stronghold and gain the upper hand.
[All the mountain cakes are on sale!] (Exclusive internal channel for the points-based competition)
[Yu Xiangnan]: Coordinates: (799, -16, 35). Everyone, this is my current location. I'm heading to a regular outpost at coordinates: (1050, 49, 33).
[Yu Xiangnan]: Members in this area can come and meet me first. As planned, we'll first capture the regular strongholds. If we encounter members from [Wanxiang] or [Qingyun] later, immediately report our coordinates.
[Ji Xiaoyin]: Received!
[Dongwu Bai]: Received!
[Shi Gu]: Received
[Shi Gu]: I'm nearby, coming right away!
[Xing Chenxi]: So cunning! I'm so far away from the president!! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
[Ningxiluo]: I'm here.
【Ningxiluo】：Coordinates: (3799, 560, 124)
[Xing Chenxi]: No, you're way too far away!
[xxx]: ......
Yu Xiangnan selected the nearest ordinary stronghold, grabbed a small broken shovel, and quickly headed to the location of the stronghold.
Before the guild war began, she set up a main assault echelon, a support and logistics echelon, and a mobile guerrilla echelon, with Ning Haizhi, Ji Xiaoyin and Ning Xiluo serving as captains respectively.
Guild members joined the corresponding teams based on their own wishes and professional skills.
Although the teams are clearly defined, at the beginning of the game, members of the three teams are not required to immediately meet up and act in unison. On the contrary, members of each team who are close to each other will spontaneously group together to form new combat squads.
For example, if members of teams A, B, and C are located close to each other, they can quickly assemble to form a new team to attack and capture a point, ensuring that all members of teams A, B, and C are present in the team.
The squads formed in this way possess multiple capabilities, including offensive and defensive abilities, greatly enhancing their flexibility and combat effectiveness.
The core responsibility of each team leader is to effectively manage their team members, maintain close and smooth communication with them, and ensure the timely transmission of information and efficient teamwork.
Yu Xiangnan originally wanted to include herself in the mobile guerrilla echelon, but the guild's main assault echelon was short of people, so she had to make flexible allocations to make up for the manpower shortage.
However, don't think too much at the beginning; just take over any stronghold you see.
Just do it.
Anyway, after a stronghold is captured, there will be a five-hour invincibility period. After the invincibility period ends, a health bar will appear on the stronghold, and other guilds will be able to compete for the stronghold.
However, in the later stages, controlling the distance between the captured strongholds becomes crucial. If the distance is too large, members stationed at other strongholds will find it difficult to provide rapid support in emergencies, easily putting the team at a disadvantage when dealing with unexpected situations.
In this way, we can take a comprehensive approach and abandon some outposts that are too far away in the later stages.
Hmm... It's strange, this ordinary outpost is located inside a shop called "Nightingale Tavern".
Yu Xiangnan strode into the "Nightingale Tavern".
[Prompt]: Player Yu Xiangnan (ID: H00) has reached the required luck stat, triggering a special mission. Upon completion, you can directly occupy the ordinary stronghold at coordinates (1050, 49, 33), ignoring all surrounding traps. Accept the mission?
Yu Xiangnan was stunned.
Luck stats met? Trigger a special mission?
Without much hesitation, she pressed "Yes".
bite--
[Congratulations, player, for triggering a special quest.]
[Special Mission] (00:59:59): Obtain a glass of ale at the Nightingale Tavern and successfully drink it.
[Task Hint]: Players can find the hostess "Ellie," tell her they have no money, and ask her how to get free tavern beer.
"......"
After seeing the details and instructions of this special mission, Yu Xiangnan was speechless.
Isn't this a classic case of someone who takes advantage of others for free?
