The most troublesome part of a siege was mobilizing troops. Even though major guilds and servers now had quite a few Space Element Players and had stockpiled large numbers of Mass Teleport Scrolls, gathering enough forces to attack a Guild Headquarters was still no easy task. It often took one or two hours, after all, since sieges involved mobilizing tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of players.
With troop deployments taking so long, all sorts of unexpected developments could naturally arise. For example, Misty Pavilion and players from other guilds and servers could make preparations in advance, while Ye Luo and his group could form Elite Squads to harass and launch sneak attacks on players already outside the headquarters. All of this would greatly affect the efficiency of the siege.
However, if a headquarters could be built near the target Guild Headquarters, mobilizing troops would become much easier. After all, large numbers of elite players could be teleported over through Teleportation Arrays in a short time, greatly reducing the time needed for deployment.
