In one embodiment, if the mercury side occupies the scoring spot, the team battle providing unit 160 may subtract the siege side. For example, the group battle providing unit 160 sets either the siege side or the Mercury side to which the character who first reached the scoring spot belongs to occupy the scoring spot, and if the Mercury side occupies the scoring spot, The point of the side can be subtracted.

In one embodiment, the team battle providing unit 160 may determine the scoring spot close to the basic location point (location on the virtual battlefield that is initially placed) of the group that destroyed the sealed item. For example, the group battle providing unit 160 may randomly generate a scoring spot within a predetermined distance from the basic location point of the group that destroyed the sealed item.

In one embodiment, the team battle providing unit 160 may give points only to the siege. The team battle providing unit 160 may determine that the siege has won if the siege point is greater than or equal to a predetermined point. The team battle providing unit 160 may determine the length of a predetermined period of time for which exclusive use authority is granted using the siege points obtained when the siege wins. Here, when the mercury side wins, the group battle providing unit 160 may determine the length of a predetermined period of time for which exclusive use authority is granted to the mercury side in inverse proportion to the acquisition point of the siege side. For example, the fewer points on the siege side, the longer the exclusive use authority of the aqueous side can be set. This is because the greater the interference on the aqueous side, the fewer the siege points.
