Compared to individual matches, major guilds and clubs paid more attention to guild battles.
Unlike individual matches where the rewards were more honorary, the prizes for guild battles were much more substantial.
The victorious guild not only claimed the prestigious "Champion Guild" title, but also received priority for various special missions. They might even be given imperial treatment.
Due to the participant requirements, smaller guilds were not qualified to compete in the guild battle.
As a result, the guild competition turned exceptionally brutal from the preliminary rounds, with only ten teams making it to the final showdown.
In this grand event, the most eye-catching were undoubtedly the few powerful families—Royalty, Mechanical God Cult, Magic Coin, and Sword Pavilion.
They were collectively referred to by forum players as the "Four Great Nobles."
The first three were old guilds that had risen during the closed beta phase, each backed by real-world forces.
