Without an opposing guild, 100 funds wins the challenge regardless, meaning you can save more funds to level up to 4 quicker.
We did fight another guild once. They attacked us and died horribly. They failed to capture the open cities that they attacked. Now we have all five cities in light realm. Nobody remains that we can attack; our only fights will be to defend.
