The Degree
War Statement

When the city of the central west is busy with the chaos that a person causes. The Maguire Order is gathering its troops for something.

“About why the boss calls us?”

“Once, there seems to be something very important. Look, the higher-ups are gathered too.”

“What might the war finally begin? Somehow I feel it's going to happen.”

“Entailah but I doubt we will fight. This situation has lasted more than two years. Impossible war will break out for no really obvious reason.”

“Then what really happened? Why does the chairman round up all Blueeast members?”

“Entahlah .. I'm sure we'll find out soon.”

Everyone waited in the spacious hall that was deliberately vacated at any moment for an impassable announcement through the union system.

The hall would be crowded when a call from the guild leader came to get them to gather.

For some time waiting for the presence of their leader, before long, the figure finally appeared.

His appearance was not extraordinary but the fact that he wanted to appear was a rare thing.

“Are you sure you want to say it, Mister?”

“Of course. They should at least know this. The Redwest Union has been destroyed and our old rivals have vanished.”

Leaving that sentence the Order mustered its attention to its guild members.

“Please silence!”

With that one command, everyone shut their mouths. The hall that was previously crowded like a market became quiet like a funeral area.

The order nodded in satisfaction. He doesn't like wasting energy on unnecessary things. Whenever anyone does not speak his words, that person becomes his enemy.

“I gathered you here for one purpose. There is good news but it is also sad to hear. At least you need to know this one thing.”

Everyone stared at and whispered between them.

Surely the words of the Order will cause ignorance and great curiosity.

Great news but also sad. What kind of news is capable of creating two opposites at the same time?

One thing is certain. This is not good news to hear.

“This has something to do with why I formed the Blueeast union. You may know that there is a bonus task that appears to make the strongest union. I'm not an ambitious person, but it's just that task that keeps me from letting go.”

The grand prize offered by Secret for the task was not something that could afford to be ignored.

The Order is very confident that whoever manages to get the prize will be the number one person in this trial.

It cannot be opposed because even ordinary people will know how valuable the gift offered.

“I built Blueeast for it. Hoping to be first in a short time but some dispute ensued. That woman, Erina started to build a union because she wanted the same thing as me.”

It was the beginning of the dispute between the two. When Erina got the same task, she started to oppose the Order and chose to form her own comrade.

At first the Order ignored him because the union was much more developed at that time.

“I never imagined that his Degree could be used for that. He progressed by leaps and bounds until one time was able to match our union in less than a year.”

The Order did not regret for ignoring Erina until now. He didn't even try to destroy it unless Erina herself made the first move for it.

But now the situation is different. One thing that was beyond expectation had destroyed all the schemes that the Order had thought of.

A little cheering could be heard. The cheers came from people who did not understand the situation.

For those who understand, at least know that it is part of the exhilarating. The sad thing has not been disclosed.

“That means, the union leader has earned a reward from that bonus task?! It's great news!”

“Yes! It seems we should celebrate this!”

“Unfortunately we can't do it.” The order interrupted the conversation of its guild members.

It cannot be done because one thing has happened beyond hope.

It was also the reason for the Order to gather everyone and have them bring full supplies.

“One thing happened. A mysterious group appears and embraces a small union with them. Their number there are eight steps below us.”

Even so the fact that now Blueeast is the biggest union is indisputable. But the Order knew very well that it would not last long.

Moreover, statistically new unions that embrace many small unions have higher combat statistics.

“If the Redwest union has been completely destroyed then its members will be displaced. At that time it did not rule out the possibility that they would attract former Redwest members to their group.”

If that happens the group will move up to first place in the Open World.

Everyone understood it well immediately. Anyway, this is sad news.

“We can't do any celebration. The situation is getting more difficult because the presence of a new group thinking about this has a power equal to or higher than ours. That's why we gather. I gathered you with this purpose.”

Without another word they immediately understood the purpose of the Order.

The reason the weapons had been prepared, all the Degrees the Blueeast guild had held had been deployed for weaponry and supplies.

With that much resources, there is only one thing they will do.

The order stared at the sky in silence. Implied feelings of sadness and reluctance in doing so. Even so it is his obligation to do so, it is imperative for him if he wants to survive.

Taking a deep breath, the Order steadied the resolve.

“Teams! Now we're going west. In order to become the strongest guild and complete this test of hell, I declare we will start a war! Not only to help the Redwest but to destroy this new union. Union named, Rebellion!”

“YA!”

No one refuses to fight. Since two years ago, the Blueeast guild's greatest wish was the ambition the Order had.

To become the strongest union in the Open World and beat its creator, Secret.

“It's sad news that in war we will lose a colleague. But I promise to those who will die. I will finish all these trials and destroy Secret with my hands!”

“YA!”

“The first step we need to do is destroy Rebellion as well as the damned task, this fifth task!”

The order immediately jumped down. Although he was in a high place where people would get hurt if he jumped, the fact was that he was fine.

“All troops heading west. This is an all-out declaration of war!”

“Ya!”

Together with his people, the Order headed west with the aim of war.

The situation in Open World is heading towards the end. It seemed, the path to reveal the fifth task was only one more step left.
