Chapter 213 The Space Box
"Rex, you need to do something". Princess Elanor finally voiced her worry as she was tasked with tracking the battle situation from the Berserk Mansion.
Of the 50,000-capacity army of the current Berserk Gang, only a little more than a thousand were left by Rex to guard the Berserk Mansion this time.
The only boon was that alongside them were 3 leaders of the Berserk Gang, Rex assigned not just Elanor this time, but Erling and Jacob to also stay behind.
The Exquisite gang army attacked with 80,000 of their army that was rumored to be more than a hundred thousand, which made it very likely that the enemies still had an army of 20,000 at their disposal.
Just for safety reasons for his gang to not fall so terribly, Rex left the 3 of them to protect the headquarters in the case that it was attacked from another direction that was different from the main battlefield in the Spring Valley.
Apart from protecting the gang mansion, 3 of them were also tasked with protecting Melkor as he did his job of bringing in more minotaur pool water.
Apart from those 2, they had one last mission, the most important of all 3 which was to track the proceedings of the main battlefield through a satellite battle projection that Aragorn invented some time ago.
When embroiled in battle, even warriors as strong as Rex could lose themselves in the moment and fail to pay attention to their surroundings.
This was the exact reason why Dave of the Berserk Gang never made his war champions Army Commanders. Rumors said that even in decisive wars where he fought, he never made himself the Army Commander once.
The Army Commander was always a warrior that was not fighting but was rather much more ardent at strategies and battle formations.
Rex desired to achieve the same effect with his 3 leaders.
Through the satellite battle projection, Elanor and the other 2 were able to watch the battle and see everything that was going on for the past 20 minutes.
"The enemy's numbers advantage is simply too much for us to overcome. Their advantage of having much more intermediate mystic warriors is also a great hindrance since they are the main game changers of this battle".
"If we continue like this, even if due to some miracle we win, it will be at a huge loss after losing more than 80% or even 90% of our army".
"If that happens, then it's safe to say we lost".
"Apart from the Axe Gang which would be an even more powerful opponent, if this trend continues, we also have the Kong Gang to face in battle".
"We can't think of those if after each battle, we lose so many warriors".
Jacob interrupted Erling and butted in. "Rex, we need to do something to end this battle with as few warrior deaths as possible or we would have lost".
"Think of something!" Rex screamed from the other end.
Still embroiled in a battle of advanced mystic warriors, Rex did not have the time or the luxury to focus on thinking since he started feeling the mental toil.
Elanor took a deep breath then she spoke. "We need to assassinate Dave".
"Killing him is the only way to put an end to this battle".
"But he's safe in his territory!"
"That's it". Elanor stood up as she transmitted. "You think he's safe but he's not. For a long time, he was already used to being protected by his huge 100,000 army but now with majority of them gone, he's as vulnerable as never before".
"20,000 is still an extremely powerful army, but they are not used to thinking like an army of 20,000, they are used to thinking like an army of 100,000 warriors".
"If we play our cards well, you can assassinate him".
In the chaotic battlefield, Rex finally retreated a bit as he paused and looked at the battlefield. In just a few seconds, he saw what they saw, if nothing was done, the Berserk Army would woefully lose this battle.
This was not the time to hesitate in his decisions but he was just not confident, fighting against 20,000 enemies to assassinate 1 man was in no way easy, he doubted if he was up to the task.
In his dilemma, he heard Aragorn speak in the comm despite still embroiled in a fierce battle with the enemies. "Rex, you can do it".
"I've seen you achieve even more difficult feats, this is not impossible for you. I believe in you, do us a favor and also believe in yourself".
"As for the battlefield here, don't worry, we'll hold the fort until you are victorious, Erling, Jacob, and Elanor will come reinforce us".
"The mansion has no use if we lose the battle".
Elanor and the others also voiced their support. "Rex, don't worry about here, we'll try our best even if it means dying just to prevent the enemies from taking over the Blood Market region".
This was something that Rex was not used to. As he received the encouraging words from his leaders, he first felt it cringe but he soon started accepting it.
Having warriors that had his back felt great, Rex loved this feeling. His blood started burning hot again as these encouragements served as fuel for it.
Rex looked at the chaotic battlefield one last time then he backed off.
"Storm!"
The Storm Kamaitachi responded as it rode the wind and sprinted towards him. This time, Storm alone was not enough, Rex called for the others through the telepathic relationship that he had with them in his mind.
A minute after he escaped out of the battlefield, he met Grey along the way. Instantly after he appeared, Ambition appeared from his invisible state while dust appeared in the air as King formed out of the dust particles.
All 4 of Rex's transformed beasts and warrior were now available.
For this assassination, Rex was ready to pull out all the tricks in his repertoire, he could not afford to underestimate the difficulty of this mission.
Before leaving, Rex looked down at the box that Aragorn gave him as a gift. As he held it, his system lit up another notification on his order.
