The story begins with the Unicorn Bull Guild.
Before its downfall, the Unicorn Bull Guild was always the most popular guild in Shan City, without exception. It was very generous in offering benefits and recruiting new members, attracting a significant number of newcomers almost every year.
As a result, other guilds naturally received fewer visitors.
Some smaller guilds even closed down one after another due to being unable to recruit enough members for a long time.
Only established guilds like the Iron Blade could barely hold on, relying on their strong foundation.
However, even so, Iron Blade was still facing the risk of being downgraded.
Currently, Iron Blade is a Second-level Guild, able to accept defense tasks from third-tier and below settlements, as well as some medium and long-distance trade missions.
If downgraded to a Third-level Guild, the permissions for accepting tasks would be reduced as well.
