"Insufficient wager from the Challenger." A voice of a cute child suddenly echoed in the room.
The cute voice came from a toon like character in the form of a rabbit in a tuxedo. This is the mediator that was summoned using the Challenge Scroll. They are special NPCs that are the helpers of the God of War Ares.
"If that is the case then we shall bet a quarter of our territory." Dame stated but it seems that she did not understand what the mediator stated.
"How much should be waged from our territory?" Dame asked as she needs to settle it immediately upon summoning the mediator. The wages should be immediately settled the moment the mediator is summoned or else the challenge will be postponed by another week.
"According to the value of the territory of the one challenged, the Challenger Dame should wager all of her territory that she controls or something of the same value in order to issue the challenge." The mediator stated which shocked everyone in the stadium.
Everyone knew that the territory of the Fallen Knights is about five times the size of the current Avalon. The size is different, yet the value of both lands is the same. This came to a shock to Dame that her brain started to blank as she did not expect this outcome.
"Is the mediator not wrong?" Mord asked which suddenly made the entire atmosphere heavy.
"You dare question my assessment when it was aided by the Goddess of Vengeance herself? Do you wish for me to rescind your challenge order?" The mediator asked as it turned from a cute looking rabbit in a tuxedo to a nightmare fuel.
"Can you please explain why for us to understand?" Dame asked.
"Since the challenger is not that intelligent, the territory of the challenged is a floating island. It also has the Tree of Life and Death that is a holy being in itself. In fact, this decision is already in favor of the Challenger or else you will not be issued a challenge." The mediator stated as it changed back to its cute form.
"Do I not have a say in the wager?" Adrian asked the mediator as he was the one challenged.
"Unfortunately, the scroll used is a forced challenge and you can only prepare for battle which is why a one-month grace period is given." The mediator stated.
"So, still want to challenge?" Adrian asked the Fallen Knights guild.
The Fallen Knights guild members suddenly felt that they jumped the gun. They did not expect that the wager would encompass their entire territory for Adrian's territory. Then again, a territory that is just bought with money cannot compare to Adrian that has been cultivated for a long time. Avalon is also a special place in itself because of the fact that it is a floating island.
The Fallen Knights guild know that they cannot delay their answer but a decision about their whole territory should not be done easily. Even if they have the overwhelming number compared to Adrian's guild, they do not have the confidence that everything that will happen in the war will be in their favor.
They already know that Adrian is able to defeat three of the most powerful players by himself which means he can equal at least ten of their most powerful guild members. They also know that Creepysoo is a member of his guild which means they will fight against the prince of the undead.
They also have the Envoy of the Twin Gods who can basically heal every member in the battlefield. A swordsman that can create tornadoes. A cute child that can create fire tornadoes and can summon a giant fire lion. A vampire and a werewolf that is more powerful when in darkness. A powerful elemental mage that can use four elements.
"Do you wish to still issue the challenge?" The mediator asked.
The Fallen Knights guild could feel the other guilds looking at them with a mocking gaze. They could feel the Fallen Knights did indeed think that they will not sacrifice everything. Since their pride is on the line, the Fallen Knights guild can only accept it or else they would become a laughingstock.
"We accept!" Dame shouted.
Adrian acted like he looked shocked that the Fallen Knights guild leader accepted the offer, but he was actually smiling deep inside. The reason he is excited is due to the fact that he can fight to his hearts content. Another reason is that he could use everything that he wins in this fight to make sure that his territory expands to the fullest.
It was not only Adrian that seems sure of their victory as Dame is also sure of that. Since the outnumber the guild ran by Adrian by a lot, they can just run them over by sheer numbers to make sure that they win. The guild war will happen in three rounds anyways which is why they are sure that they will be the winner.
"The Fallen Knights guild has stated their terms and the Challenge Order will be drafted. In one month from this day, the two guilds, Fallen Knights and Pantheon, will have their guild war. I shall now announce the rules of the battle." The mediator stated as it suddenly took out a scroll and a pen.
"The rules of the fight will be as dictated.
1. A total of Three Rounds of Guild War will be done to determine the winner. Should a guild win two of the fights immediately then they will be declared the winner.
2. Only the guild members that are a part of the respective guilds at the time of this challenge can participate in the guild wars.
3. Items and consumables will be limited in the guild war.
4. Cooldowns and items used in the guild wars will not reset when continuing in the next set of battles.
5. Only a total of fifty participants per guild is allowed to do battle in all three rounds.
6. This is a winner take all scenario but the territory to be surrendered can be replaced with something of equal value should the winner be fine with that.
7. Any violation of this rule from either side will automatically disqualify them.
This is all the rules for the guild war. Are there any objection?" The mediator asked for the last time but both parties involved are silent as the rules are fair to both sides.
"Since both parties are in agreement, I shall now present this challenge scroll to the Gods of War and the Goddess of Justice!" The mediator stated as the scroll it held suddenly got sent to the heavens above.
When the scroll vanished into the sky, a powerful rumble of thunder and lightning could be heard. This is the sign that the Gods of War and the Goddess of Justice has accepted this challenge order. This is evident because all members of the two guilds received notifications about the guild war.
[Your guild, Pantheon, has been challenged by the Fallen Knights guild to a guild war.]
[The guild war will be held thirty days from now and all accepted challengers will be transported to the Holy Sanctum Arena for the fight.]
[The Gods and Goddesses of Pandemonium are looking at this guild war with interest as two high officials of a denomination are a part of this war.]
[As the Challenge Order has been successful, the two guilds Pantheon and Fallen Knights cannot be challenged by other guilds using a Challenge Scroll for a duration of six months.]
"See you in thirty days then." Adrian said with a devious smile as he exited the stadium with his friends.

"Are you confident that we will win in the upcoming guild war? We are like only nine people in the guild, and we will be against fifty people." Lycan asked as even he finds it difficult to fight against fifty people at the same time.
"We have a chance to win because not all fifty people will be present in all three fights. They will surely spread out their forces in a fitting manner so that they will have a higher winning chance." Adrian stated.
"So, will we be fighting by threes for each fight?" Lycan asked but Peridot suddenly sighed as she already knows what Adrian is thinking.
"He wants us to win the first two fights so that we no longer have the third deciding match." Peridot stated as they also had guild wars back then in their previous games.
"Bingo! Which is why all of you need to be stronger than you are now. We will train in the last remaining days before the actual guild war. I need to do something immediately because of this development. Bye!" Adrian said in an excited manner as he teleported somewhere.
