“Chicken delivery! ”

“Yes, it's a card, right? ”

“Yes, enjoy! ”

“Thank you."

Yoohyun who received the chicken delivered called Jinsung who was lying in bed and watching TV hard.

“Dude, come to work. Let's eat first."

“Wait, it's important now. ”

Yoohyun, who had checked the TV screen, shook his head.

It was because Kylan's broadcast was being broadcast on a screen with Jinsung's gaze fixed.

“Hey, we haven't even started broadcasting the Territory War yet. Before that, let's eat quickly. ”

When Yoohyun persuaded me, Jinsung climbed down from a miraculous bed and picked up a chicken leg.

But the eyes were still on the TV.

“Hey, can you focus on that for a second? It's still a little late to get you on the air, but soon, a reporter will organize some territorial warfare rules. ”

At that point, Yoohyun's gaze was also on the TV again.

In fact, the reason Yoohyun came to Jinsung's trail today was to rip the chicken together and watch the land war broadcast.

Today was the first time the guild's Node was freed from protection.

After three days, the Lotus Guild's territory will be unprotected, so it was necessary to study about territorial warfare in advance.

Their gaze was fixed as if they had been sucked into the TV.

“Hi, I'm Lucia, YTBC's reporter. ”

“Nice to meet you all, Reporter Hines. ”

On TV, Lucia and Hines, YTBC's signage reporters, were broadcasting as skillfully as ever.

“Yes, Heinz. Can you briefly describe where we are right now? ”

Hines looks around and continues into a soft tone.

“Of course, Lucia. ”

And his gaze shifted towards the off-screen viewers.

“This is where we are, the ‘Battlefield of Valor’. As many viewers know, this is where the guild war takes place. ”

His words resulted after a short wait.

“Today! It was finally here that the first" Territory War "happened, so we came to this place in a long time. ”

And Lucia explained to me by her side.

“For those of you who don't know much about the battlefield of bravery, this battlefield of bravery is a virtual space that none of us know about. Whenever a Guild War is triggered, it is how the members of the Guild War are warped into this brave battlefield. Even users unrelated to the guild can enter the battlefield and watch the battle for a small fee. ”

“Yes. Lucia speaks well. ”

Hines smiles with his thumb outstretched, and Lucia winks at him.

“Now, let's find out about the rules of the Territory War before I relay the ranking of the 1st ranked Korean Server Guild to the 4th ranked Dark Cruna Guild and the territory war of the Oklan Guild." ”

Hines continues with Lucia's words.

“Yes, from now on… let me explain to most viewers the rule of 'territorial warfare’ on an unfamiliar day. ”

And a very clean description of Heines began to follow.

Yoohyun turned his gaze toward Jinsung.

“Hey, Jinsung. Do you have a notepad or something? ”

When he came to his senses, he went up to his study notes (?).

Jinsung began to organize the notes in Hines' explanation.

Territory Rules

1. To take away the territory of the opponent's guild, a territory battle must be fought.

2. There are two types of territorial war.

One was a field war in the ‘Battlefield of Valor’, just like a regular guild war.

The other was a "siege" type of battle in which the defense guild had to defend the territory and capture the attacking guild.

Siege battles take place on a map called the "Battlefield of Protection," which changes the terrain for each territory because it was a virtual map that actually brought the terrain to that territory.

All territory wars will either be annihilated by both users, or will expire after an hour of combat time has elapsed and many survivors will win.

In the case of the Defensive Battlefield, the Defensive Crystal forms inside the Defensive Territory at the same time as the battle begins, even if it is destroyed.

3. Winning a Territory War once does not give you control over the territory.

After three victories in the Battlefield of Valor, the map turns into the Battlefield of Protection. You must win the Battlefield of Protection in order to take possession of the territory.

A defensive guild, on the other hand, only has 3 total victories across the Brave Arena and the Defensive Arena to succeed in defense.

4. Territory war takes place every 24 hours, and once all territory wars have ended, the territory determined by the winner becomes‘ Node Protection ’for a week.

5. All territorial wars can only be fought by 30 users per faction. (As national war grows in size, the number of players will increase to 100, and there will be no number limit for NPCs in the Territory.)

6. Once one user has entered the same territory twice, it is no longer possible to enter.

Rules of territorial warfare that may seem complex.

But after keeping things straight, I felt the developer's efforts to balance the game.

Yoohyun mumbled as he read the contents of Jinsung's summary.

“Wow, it's just so much more complicated than the Guild War. ”

Jinsung nodded.

“I have no choice. It's a regular guild battle.You can't lose without losing a guild's reputation. Once you're one or two places down, that's it. Weight is different from Territory War itself. ”

“That's right."

Hines explained things very easily, but he was able to quickly understand the rules of territorial warfare thanks to his sincerity.

Yoohyun opened his mouth again.

“So let me give you an example. ”

“Go ahead.”

“If I'm an attacking guild, and you call it a defensive guild, if I want to occupy the territory in the shortest time possible, I have to win four battles? ”

“That's right."

“On the contrary, you will succeed in defense in just three wins. ”

“Yes, it is. ”

Yoohyun who was thinking for a while said again.

“Then I would have won three battles on the battlefield of the brave and gone to the battlefield of the Guardian. And the first defeat on the battlefield of Protection. Then where does the fifth Territory fall? ”

I answered without hesitation.

“That's the battlefield of protection, of course. Once the attacking guild has won the Battlefield 3 times, we must continue the siege from then on. ”

“Aha... ”

Yoohyun nodded as if he understood.

“This is definitely a good rule for defensive guilds. ”

“I have no choice. Defensive guilds have more to lose than attacking guilds. It's an attacking guild. Just like regular guild wars, it only loses the guild's reputation, right? There are many ways to recover even if you lose a little, but the damage will be enormous once you take away the Guild territory. ”

The other peculiarity of the territory was that one user could not enter the same territory more than three times.

Distribution of people became very important in each battle to win the territorial war.

Ian mutters as he reads this.

“The fact that there is a limit of 30 people allowed to participate in a battle seems the same as in a typical guild war... The rule that prevents one person from entering more than three matches... is that one absolute person cannot carry a Territory War alone. ”

“I think so. Assuming there is someone strong enough to lead the Territory War to victory, he can bring his own victory up to 2 times... The remaining 2 matches for the attacking guild and 1 match for the defending guild must be brought to the strength of the rest of the users. ”

After roughly finishing cleaning up, the two of them hurriedly started eating the chicken.

Soon the territorial wars between the two guilds at the top of the Korean server will begin.

The defensive guild was the Aucklan guild, and the attacking guild was the Dark Cruna guild.

Yoohyun asked Jinsung with an interesting expression.

“Hey, where do you think you're going to win? ”

“Hmm... I don't know? ”

“I think there's more to the Dark Cru or Guild. It's so overwhelming. ”

“That's true, but you've recruited Remir from Oklan this time. So I don't really know what's going to happen. ”

Yoohyun looked a little surprised.

“Madosa Lemir of Crimson Flame? First in Wizard's Rank? ”

“Yes, it is. You were in the community yesterday. ”

“Well, you never know. Once you get into the Lemir Area Deal, everything will melt... Somehow the Wizard must have been extremely strong in the Siege War.... Water is also advantageous. ”

The two of them began to focus more on the TV, chewing the chicken.

The two Giant Guilds' territorial wars were about to begin.

Jinsung looked at the levels of the users and muttered to himself.

‘Now they can catch up too...! ’

The levels of rankers that have been seemingly lazy since the initialization are now reaching out and not far enough.

Some of the highest-level users who made their levels public on the screen were in their late 120s.

‘The top 10 users are probably in the early 130s now. ’

Ian's level is now 111.

It was now largely narrowed down to about 20 levels.

In a way, it might still seem like a big difference, but Ian's level-up speed would soon be catching up.

Ian burns more devotion.

* * *

The scores for the two Great Guilds' territorial wars concluded in 3: 3.

The scores were the same, but the winner was the Auckland Guild.

Successful in the end.

On the strength of the Darkness, who had taken two battles lightly to victory on the first battlefield of bravery, people predicted victory for the Darkness.

However, after putting the main force into one and two matches, Darkness lost the third battle.

Despite the hard work, the Defensive Faction failed to attack in the battlefield of defensive defenses in vain.

As predicted, Madosa Lemir of Crimson Flame showed tremendous power at the Holy Water Temple.

And Ian, who watched the battle from start to finish, realized one thing.

‘Guild members' abilities are important... but NPC is really important in territorial warfare. ’

Ian felt the impact of high-level NPCs on the battlefield was greater than he expected.

NPCs were especially important for strategizing, since they were able to continue in succession if they did not die.

‘It didn't go well on the broadcast... But I think Aucklan's guild won the tactical victory over Lemir...' ’

The Aucklan guild has used the first two matches as a throwing hand.

NPCs that cannot be resurrected once they die are hardly placed in the first two matches, and all of the major rankers are missing.

The most powerful badger, Madosa Remir of Crimson Flame, had secured two victories by pulling them out of the Water Temple twice, and had also taken the first place in the field by using all the remaining power.

‘It may be an interpretation rather than a dream.... ’

After Yoohyun returned, Ian connected with Kailan felt he needed to rush the registration of his subordinate NPC.

In total, Ian was able to register 20 NPCs in the baron's position.

However, when Ian banished the NPC he registered, he was cautious because his reputation had fallen by 100,000.

And there was another reason.

‘The last reason I hesitated was because I didn't know what the penalty would be if the undertaker NPC died in battle…. There's no reason to hesitate now that we've learned that the NPC registered by the user resurrected after a week. ’

It was information that had not been released to the community because there were not many users with noble status. This time, the territorial war caused a lot of NPCs that were equalized as individuals to die.

Ian hurriedly set out for the ‘Summoner's Guild’ in the territory.

A few days ago, there was an NPC that Ian had reserved for him to equip.
