Why is this self-made systemd service failed on CentOS 8.3 as "Failed with result 'protocol'"?

First, this issue becomes a problem only on CentOS8, while it works well on CentOS7. This is the version:

# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 8.3.2011

I tried to make a service to execute bash commands to change route. Here is the executable bash /root/route_degrade.sh:

#!/bin/bash
# ensure router role
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
systemctl start firewalld
firewall-cmd --add-masquerade
#firewall-cmd --add-port=1194/udp
firewall-cmd --add-service=openvpn

# degrade original default router to LAN only router
cloudroute=$(ip route | grep default | cut -d " " -f 3)
if [[ $cloudroute == 10.* ]]; then
  ip route add 10.0.0.0/8 via $cloudroute
  ip route del default
fi
exit 0

This executable is absolutely OK since I did execute it alone in root directory by ./route_degrade.sh.

and here is the autoinit.service in /usr/lib/systemd/system:

[Unit]
Description=Changes Default route to Route within cloud Permanently
After=firewalld.service
#Before=openvpn@Client_d.service


[Service]
Type=notify
ExecStart=/root/route_degrade.sh
PrivateTmp=true

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

But it keeps on failing, even after I reload the service files by systemctl daemon-reload and restart it, here is the status by systemd:

● autoinit.service - Changes Default route to Route within cloud Permanently

I don't know where is wrong, obviously it did execute the bash script and the firewall-cmd commands threw out success and it captures the exit code 0. So what does the Failed with result 'protocol' mean?

systemd centos8
