BXBX NOVEL Chapter 218 Pressure To Perform
Before crashing to sleep, Rex left orders to his subordinates.
Though in a literal sense, he already annexed the Exquisite Gang and they were not part of the Berserk Gang, Rex still didn\'t fully trust Tango enough to leave everything including his life at the hands of this advanced mystic warrior.
Before sleeping, Rex promoted 2 of the more outstanding warriors of the army who were previous Commanders of the Exquisite army to leader status.
Both of them were meant to balance the power at Tango\'s fingertips.
Rex only slept after doing that, and as for his safety, all 3 of his transformed beasts and Ambition were together with him in the room protecting him.
If anything happened, his transformed beasts and warriors were more than capable of taking care of it since they already completed the hardest job.
Having received Rex\'s orders before he slept, after taking in most of the gangs that were trying to escape, Aragorn went to Rex\'s new palace for the first time with the army of 50,000 warriors and the new additions that he came with.
He was the one in charge of the indoctrination process, and he also needed to impose on Tango that he was the 2nd in command of the Berserk Army.
Imposing his authority on Tango was the hardest task that he needed done but Aragorn didn\'t shy from it as he confronted the mystic warrior head-on. He was not aggressive, he just made sure that they were on the same terms.
Once this was concluded, everything else became super easy for Aragorn. As a mystic mechanic, communicating to hundreds of thousands of warriors was not a problem for him since that was how he would indoctrinate the new soldiers.
Apart from ingraining in them the rules of the Berserk Gang, Aragorn\'s other important task was making them respect and trust their new leaders.
It was a hard task but it was not impossible.
Having done it previously when Rex just took over the Berserk Gang, Aragorn already had a blueprint to draw ideas from which made things smoother.
That same night, having received Rex\'s orders, Princess Elanor also embarked on a journey with an army of 5000 warriors to the Southern region after leaving the Blood Market region under the leadership of her boyfriend.
All the leading figures and Advanced Mystic Warriors of the Berserk Gang found themselves in the Southern region in no time, Aragorn addressed all of them.
"The Gang Leader is exhausted but he already laid the foundation for us".
"Unlike the Blood Market region where we ruled, the Southern region is one of the major cardinal regions of the Red Zone".
"There are much more easier ways for armies from the North, East, and Western regions to attack here which is why we need to act fast".
"Every second wasted without doing anything is taking a great risk".
"While the gang leader recovers, I want us to fully integrate the Southern region under our rule and organize a defensive perimeter around the region".
"We need to be prepared for the Axe Gang or the Kong Gang\'s attack".
"We don\'t know when they will attack us".
After making sure that they got the message that he intended to pass across, Aragorn divided them into groups before sending them out with the army.
Half of the army was left at the palace while the remaining half were all sent outside to go set a defensive perimeter in preparation for war against the other overlord gangs of the remaining 2 cardinal regions.
Rex\'s individual brilliance was the sole reason for the Berserk Gang\'s victory over the Exquisite Gang, the inventory of this top gang revealed this.
After scouring through the incredible new inventory that he had access to, with his mechanic genius, Aragorn was able to delegate duties to the machines, rapidly speeding up progress.
In just an hour and 20 minutes, the Berserk Gang succeeded in setting up a defense perimeter. Ben was the twin Commander of the defense perimeter alongside one of the best traditional Commanders of the old Exquisite Gang.
Having witnessed their effectiveness in large-scale wars already, Aragorn took a script from Dave\'s book and left the strategists in place.
By pairing a strategist Commander with a war champion Commander like Ben, Aragorn believed that this was the best way to achieve maximum effect.
One thing that Dave neglected was morale. As much as impeccable strategy in wars was vital and could singlehandedly win battles, so also was the morale of the army. When the army was high on morale, they perform better in battle.
It was after finishing all this that Aragorn and the others finally felt confident enough to sleep. Just like Rex, they were also tired.
…
The next morning, like they were used to, explosive news came.
For some reason, it seemed like Max never got exhausted, like he was a robot. It was not even a full day yet since he conquered the East zone and the Godzilla Gang, but the Axe Gang already went after the Kong Gang.
They marched in the night, hiding their traces and intentions until they arrived at the Western region where another war broke out in the night.
As soon as the news came, Aragorn woke Rex up.
Rex was still not fully rested but once he heard the news, his eyes shone in alert as he immediately convened a meeting between all the leaders of the Berserk Gang and this time, the Army Commanders also.
Rex rubbed his aching head as he focused on his subordinates. "We are already at the eye of the storm, we can\'t retreat nor can we rest".
"We and the Axe Gang are currently under a great pressure to perform".
"You\'ve heard about Max Fury\'s movements, I need your opinion".
Ben spoke first. "Attacking is the only option, we cannot stay idle and allow Max to keep on riding the momentum to annex a 2nd top gang".
"If he does, the war would be literally over for us".
"At this moment, the war is at a very delicate moment where the one to take the first advantage has a very high chance of winning".
"Rex already did it once, there\'s a 99% chance that Max won\'t fall for an ambush. Besides, if we let the Axe Gang to annex the Kong Gang, the tides of the war would become completely one-sided".
"We should either decide to join the war as a neutral and seek to earn benefits, or we should try negotiating with the gang leader of the Kong Gang".
"Either ways, we need to stop Max Fury from succeeding".
