The current situation is extremely unfavorable.
With 4 against 7, they were outnumbered and had used up a lot of skills and items in the battle against Wu Mu, so their overall situation was worrying.
call out--
The archers of 【Longcheng】 took the lead in attacking, their arrows flying with lightning speed, accurately hitting the ordinary stronghold located at (1050, 49, 33).
In an instant, the ordinary stronghold that originally had some health points lost 500 health points.
Seeing this, Yu Xiangnan made up his mind to prepare for retreat.
This ordinary outpost is located in a very remote area, on the edge of our own stronghold. Given that we are outnumbered and outgunned, there is really no need to hold on to it.
Moreover, the competition still has seven days to go, and if a member loses their life on the first day, it will be a huge problem.
This ordinary stronghold has pitifully little health, less than half of her own health. It's as if a few people could easily take it over with just a spit from each of them; it's so fragile that it's vulnerable to attack.
The moment Yu Xiangnan uttered the word "withdraw," a commotion suddenly erupted in the Nightingale Tavern.
Looking up, they noticed that Ellie, the waitress who had been hurrying between the tables and chairs, and the drunken, bearded man had suddenly stopped what they were doing and were looking at Long Cheng and his group with hostile eyes.
"Well, you bunch of guys actually dare to cause trouble in the tavern?"
"A bunch of ignorant brats, how dare they disturb my drinking?!"
Ellie swiftly tossed the beer in her hand, sending it hurtling towards the player wielding the bow and arrow like an arrow shot from a bow. Without hesitation, she drew her dagger and charged towards the group in a few quick strides, her movements incredibly agile.
At this moment, the bearded, burly man roared and pounced on the members of [Dragon's Roar], instantly initiating a fierce battle.
Upon seeing this, Yu Xiangnan was greatly shocked.
Wait, why? Could these NPCs be part of a base "trap"? Or is it my affinity with them that's at play?
So... is this the purpose of reputation points in the points-based system?
Not only Yu Xiangnan, but also Ning Xiluo, Ji Xiaoyin and Shi Gu were shocked by this sudden situation. When the group of Long Cheng saw that the NPCs who were originally fine suddenly deviated from their original movement trajectory and launched an attack on them, they were instantly thrown into disarray.
It was less a surprise and more a horror!
NPCs will attack players unprovoked, and you can't kill them no matter what you do—it's terrifying!
The seven of them knew that if they abandoned their original formation, they would all flee in panic. They frantically attacked the NPCs, only to be surprised to find that their attacks did not cause any harm to Ellie and the bearded burly man.
To make matters worse, some members accidentally triggered the barbed wire trap, and with the added attack from Yu Xiangnan and his group, the number of members in the [Dragon Soaring] guild instantly dropped from seven to four, creating a 4v4 standoff.
In addition, there are two NPCs on Yu Xiangnan's side, so it's not an exaggeration to say it's a 6v4 situation.
The numerical advantage that Longcheng once relied on has now vanished.
The remaining four people clearly realized this as well, and in order to avoid greater losses, they quickly evacuated the Nightingale Tavern.
After the members of the [Dragon Soaring] guild left, the tavern returned to its usual bustling and noisy state, as if nothing had ever happened.
Shi Gu was stunned, his face full of confusion and astonishment. He subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his eyes hard, as if trying to confirm whether the scene in front of him was an illusion.
After repeatedly confirming, he asked, "Wait...were these NPCs just helping us guard the outpost?"
Ji Xiaoyin nodded blankly, clearly still quite frightened by the bizarre and strange scene just now.
Compared to their shock, Ning Xiluo seemed much calmer. Without saying a word, she strode straight toward the drunken, bearded, burly man.
Without hesitation, she raised her foot and kicked the burly man to the ground with a powerful swift motion.
Ji Xiaoyin: "???"
Shi Gu: "???"
The burly man with the beard suddenly opened his eyes wide in anger, his facial muscles twitching with rage, and he scrambled to his feet in a very disheveled state.
But Ning Xiluo wouldn't give him a chance to retaliate. He quickly launched another kick, aiming precisely at the burly man.
Now we're completely finished.
The other patrons in the Nightingale Tavern couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
Ning Xiluo remained calm, her gaze sweeping lightly over Shi Gu and Ji Xiaoyin before finally looking at Yu Xiangnan and saying in a completely indifferent tone, "The favorability rating has increased."
"ah?"
Shi Gu and Ji Xiaoyin were even more bewildered.
Yu Xiangnan sighed and asked the three of them, "Do you have a list of NPC favorability ratings? You can click the heart icon in the upper right corner to view it."
"Huh? An NPC affinity list?"
"No......"
Shi Gu and Ji Xiaoyin exchanged a glance and both shook their heads.
Only Ning Xiluo nodded slightly and said, "On the way here, I rescued an NPC. A heart appeared in the upper right corner."
Yu Xiangnan said, "Okay, I understand."
No wonder Ning Xiluo suddenly beat up the bearded burly man earlier; it turns out she had already successfully unlocked the NPC favorability list beforehand.

[xxx]: ......
As the invincibility period of the first ordinary stronghold ends, more and more strongholds that have been successfully occupied will also lose their invincibility period, thus becoming targets for attacks from other guilds.
Finally, Ning Xiluo and Shi Gu were responsible for holding the "Nightingale Tavern" stronghold, while she and Ji Xiaoyin rushed to the dark alley.
