On August 27, 2024, the Secret Service officially declared war on the Templars naming it War of Vengeance, due to the fact the Knights also declared war on the Service – when both armies showcased an intense fight for Migrator. After a full week of battles, the Service was already ahead of their opponents, with a score of 10-0 in their favor. The situation was seemingly unfavorable to the Knights, as their sizes met an astounding downfall. Knowing the circumstances were not the best on their side, the Templars Grand Priors approached the Service leadership seeking a peace treaty. Therefore, on September 2, a treaty was signed between both armies, marking the end of the War of Vengeance. Indeed, the Service avenged their defeat in Migrator.

Written by: Chicken
Midway through September, on the 14th, the Rebel Penguin Federation released a shocking post titled ‘The Autumn Tundra Clash.’ In this post, they expressed concerns about “an alarming pattern in the behavior of the Secret Service.” It detailed increased signs of aggression towards the RPF and noted that most Secret Service members suffered banishments from the RPF. The post also addressed various issues that the RPF does not tolerate. Consequently, the Rebels declared war on the Service. As of the post’s release, the war score stands at 44-0-0 in favor of the Rebels, as the Secret Service has not participated in the majority of the battles.
As October begins, we cannot help but wonder what it has in store for the army community. Will it be a quiet month with minimal activity, or will it have unexpected twists and excitement? Reflecting on September, what were your standout moments, and why are they so?
