Chapter 198 War Against The Gandalf Gang
The aim was to wipe out all traces of the Gandalf Gang in the Red Zone completely within one day and Rex was determined to achieve this.
Onlookers saw military trucks trooping out of the Berserk Mansion in large numbers, but they had no idea what they were up to.
They could only speculate in curiosity and fear.
…
One of the few secret bases of the Gandalf Gang in the Red Zone.
Before upgrading to the Snake Territory where he grew over the years to establish his gang as a powerhouse, Gandalf, the energy blocker once plied his trade in the Red Zone and also left a deep imprint here.
Upgrading to the Snake Territory did not mean that he completely abandoned the Red Zone, he left some elements here to monitor this territory.
With his previous strength and influence in the Red Zone, establishing secret bases without drawing too much attention was no hard task for him.
Over the years after establishing the secret bases for his gang, they became akin to spies as through them, he got every information regarding the Red Zone.
Through the secret bases, he knew when Rex and his companions were smuggled into the Gundam Shelter and when they took over the Berserk Gang.
He also knew when Arthur Elliot and his old friend, Scorpion came to the shelter. Long before Scorpion took the initiative to meet him, he already started stalking this old friend of his to know his motive for coming here.
Inside one of these secret bases…
A burly blonde-haired warrior attended to the pimples on his face through a rotating mirror as he constantly applied pressure to his face, bursting the pimples that were ruining his impeccable beauty in the process.
This handsome blonde-haired warrior was dressed in thick leather armor, with a pair of daggers attached to both sides of his waist.
Due to his look, he may seem like a good-for-nothing playboy but this playboy was the leader of this secret base of the Gandalf Gang, an intermediate mystic warrior. He was tested and chosen by Gandalf himself.
Today was different though. As he attended to his pimples, against his wishes and order, one of his subordinates rushed into the room.
"Insolence!"
Without even thinking, this angered mystic warrior turned and before the intruder's eyes could barely register his change in position, the wind blew slightly and a dagger passed, then red flowed and a head rolled.
Without even trying to know what happened, this tyrannous leader killed his subordinate in cold-blood without batting an eyelid.
With a nonchalant look on his face, he turned back to focus on attending to his handsome face but only a few minutes later, another one intruded.
"You are courting death!"
He was about to attack already, but unlike the first, this subordinate was wiser. Even before he barged in, he was already yelling his report.
"Tyrant, we are under attack!"
"Huh?" Tyrant paused mid-action of almost severing the subordinate's head already. And yes, his well-known nickname was Tyrant.
"What did you just say?"
"We are suffering an…"
This time, the subordinate didn't get to finish.
BOOM!
Tyrant felt as if an earthquake was imminent as the ground underneath him shook. The loud sound was like those of exploding dominoes as he clasped his ears in discomfort but they still rattled at his senses.
Dozens of explosion sounds rocked this secret base as the few armed war trucks among those that came here attacked, sending the enemies into a panic.
When the loud explosion sounds finally died down and Tyrant recovered, with a look of horror in his face, Tyrant could only watch, stunned as the explosion sounds were replaced with those of clashing cold weapons.
He rushed outside and what appeared before him stole his confidence away. Over a dozen military vehicles and trucks surrounded the small base, and dozens of mystic warriors were already inside attacking like their lives depended on it.
"How dare they?"
"Who are these?!" He roared angrily.
"The Berserk Gang!" The leader of this attack team answered, also an intermediate mystic warrior as he drove one of the trucks towards Tyrant.
Tyrant was intimidated but he had too much pride to escape with his tail behind his legs. He may be a fool and tyrant in a lot of ways, but he was no coward. When his pride was challenged, he was ready to die than to preserve his life.
Extremely triggered already, he roared and pounced at the military truck as his outrageous speed talent was put in use.
His 2 mystic abilities were related to the wind and a physical damage-amplifying one. With these 2, he was the perfect intermediate mystic assassin.
Unfortunately for him though, this was not an assassination mission. This was a frontal battle where he had to fight against an equally strong opponent.
With his war axe mystic weapon, the tenacious intermediate mystic warrior from the Berserk Gang stood his ground until this secret base was taken over.
Once it was taken over, more warriors came to support him and the instant that Tyrant could no longer use his outrageous speed to harass him, he died.
This powerful warrior separated Tyrant's head from his body with his war axe, then he raised it up and roared. "For the Berserk Gang!"
His warriors responded. "For the BERSERK GANG!"
Killing Tyrant and taking over his secret base was not the end of his quest, thinking about the juicy rewards that Lord Aragorn automated to be given to warriors based on their performances, all of them were pumped-up.
Without wasting a single second to rest, they left to their next destination.
To motivate the warriors to give their best in this battle, having learned through experience of studying other gangs, Aragorn put down lucrative rewards that would surely push them to giving beyond their best in this raid.
This was what motivated the Berserk Gang's incredible performance.
Just like happened with Tyrant's secret base, the secret bases of the Gandalf Gang who already grew to become complacent through the years paid the price of their incompetence in blood.
All over the Red Zone, scenes like this happened as the Berserk Gang became their first major military operation after a long time of silence and accumulation.
…
Alongside Aragorn's Monster Truck, Rex's only companion was Storm.
For this gang raid, he intended to reveal only one of his beasts to intimidate his opponents with Storm's current strength and leave them guessing about the current strength of his remaining beasts and transformed warrior.
Wars between gangs did not just involve the physical aspect but the psychological also. Rex already started a psychological battle with them.
Inside the Monster Truck, having upgraded it and personalized the truck, Aragorn was able to oversee the whole raid from inside the truck.
With him overseeing everything, he didn't need to fight, all he needed was to escort Rex, Ben, and Elanor to the destinations which were giving their subordinates a headache like here.
4 Intermediate mystic warriors of the Gandalf Gang put up a fierce struggle with their warriors as they ended up killing one of the intermediate mystic warriors of the Berserk Gang that raided this secret base.
That kill was their last though because a massive truck soon appeared.
Almost immediately after the truck appeared, a massive Storm Kamaitachi also appeared. Storm appeared with the wind; Rex rode it like a horse as Storm used its weather manipulation ability to take control of the weather.
Lightning and thunder roared in the sky even as the sky turned dark like a storm was imminent, and it was in this storm that beast and master wreaked havoc.
Storm wreaked havoc with its speed, storm harness, and storm assassin skills which made it more or less a speed demon assassin in this battlefield.
As for Rex, he simply slaughtered with his sword from on top Storm.
Since there were no enemies here that could hold a candle to him, it was a one-sided slaughter that left blood flowing like a river in his wake.
Elanor and Ben only joined the battle to not remain left out of the fun. For every secret base that they personally attacked, it didn't take up to a minute before a massacre was completed, they were simply that outrageously stronger.
Adding the fact that the Gandalf Gang never expected Rex's sudden return and aggression, they stood no chance as the secret bases just kept on falling.
From the morning when the Berserk Army was mobilized, with Rex leading the charge, they fought more and more to the deepest corners of the Red Zone.
Over decades, the Gandalf Gang despite not maining here had deep roots all over the red zone. This time, Rex was not just content with cutting these roots, he intended to cut off and integrate these roots into his own tree.
The Berserk Gang massacred, integrated, and took over these secret bases.
That day, the Berserk Gang really dined in the blood of their enemies. The aggression led by Rex was so strong that it overshadowed everything else that happened in the red zone that day.
Despite the fierce resistance of their enemies, under Rex's leadership, they were able to wipe out all of them, the Berserk Gang emerged victorious.
Rex raised his sword. "This is just the first of many victories".
"For the Berserk Gang!"
"FOR THE BERSERK GANG!" The excited warriors roared.
