Chapter 258 Invasion Of The Mystic Apes! [3]
"Do not let the Apes trample on our territory!"
"The Gang Leader entrusted this territory to us, it cannot fall!"
"We cannot let the Gang Leader down!"
Perhaps, he was roaring this to his warriors, perhaps he was roaring it to himself to motivate himself but all that didn't matter because Melkor was really at his wits end.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Despite Melkor's desperate roars, the Apes did not listen to his pleas.
They breached the defense of the perimeter in less than an hour, and that was where the real massacre began. With thousands of powerful mystic Apes charging at them, Melkor's warriors were exposed.
The incredible strength and vitality of the massive Apes made them the worst enemy, they could pack a lot of punch and could also absolve a lot of damage.
The tremors made by their stomps through the streets of the Blood Market territory left Melkor's blood pressure rising by the minute.
The screams of his warriors dying, the shrieks of the civilians dying, they all added together to form a cacophony straight from hell in his ears.
As he watched from the strategy room, his eyes turned bloody red by the minute. After all his hard work to get to where he was and after getting the minotaur pool, everything was about to crumble before his eyes because of Apes.
"Because of bloody Apes!" He mumbled aggressively.
For the first time, Melkor started thinking of extreme measures.
Having served as a gang leader of a small gang who fought against stronger gangs as the underdog for most of his life, he was good at evaluating victory chances when fighting against overwhelming odds.
At this moment, Melkor could tell that if something drastic didn't happen, the Blood Market territory of the Berserk Gang would fall today in his watch.
"Not in my watch!" Melkor finally made his decision.
He spat. "F*ck them! F*ck the Apes!"
"If they want to f*ck with us, let's show them that we're not whores!"
"They'll have to work and bleed for it before f*cking with us!"
"Warriors, heed the orders of your regional commander".
"Ingest the water and follow me into battle!"
"Let's decide our fates ourselves".
Melkor's decision was drastic as his subordinates were shocked.
Having used the water from the minotaur pool in large numbers during the last inter-region war, they had a good grasp over the power boost that it brought and the aftereffects that also followed it.
As soon as the water was ingested, every single warrior that ingested it lost his mind and became a brainless maniac, they attacked every other person that was not a minotaur like them even if they were allies.
Since the Apes already invaded inside the territory, if they followed Melkor's orders and all transformed now, they would kill both Apes and civilians alike.
"Don't worry". Melkor reassured his soldiers.
"It's been more than an hour already and most of the civilians have already been evacuated to the underground shelters, the others are the unlucky ones".
"If we don't want the lucky ones to suffer the same fate as the unlucky ones after we all die, we should strive hard to save their lives now".
"Any warrior that believes in my leadership should do it with me now".
Melkor opened the bottle first and downed its contents.
His eyes turned brown as his body expanded, he clenched his fists and opened his mouth wide to scream silently as he transformed the next moment.
"Roar!!!" Melkor roared and charged out of the building.
"ROAR!!!" He roared again and charged at the nearest Ape.
Seeing their Commander make the first move to transform, all the warriors were shocked. They were even more shocked when another warrior did it.
At the very forefront of the battlefield where the battle was hottest, where the only Advanced mystic warrior of the Blood Market region fought valiantly.
All bloody from injuries already, as soon as Melkor transformed, this warrior no longer hesitated as he also downed the contents of his bottle.
"Roar!!!"
Not only did all his injuries heal, he became a minotaur that was far stronger than Melkor. He grabbed the nearest Ape and tore it to pieces.
Melkor transforming already pushed them close to the edge, the only champion of the Blood Market Zone also transforming pushed them over the edge.
The frenzied warriors of the Blood Market region all downed the contents of their bottles as the next moment, roars of minotaurs filled the battlefield.
From a battle between mystic Apes and humans, it became a battle between mystic Apes and transformed minotaurs who had no fear of death.
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Roar!!!
Both sides collided again as the battle started afresh, this time with the minotaurs putting up a far better resistance than the humans ever did.
For the first time since the invasion started, they started killing the Apes at a regular basis as their counterattack started for the first time.
Despite their current momentum, it did not mean much since more and more Apes kept on trooping out of the Great Ape Forest.
Also, the first horse-riding Ape was finally attracted into the battlefield.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The hooves of the hell horse hitting the ground reverberated like thunder.
With fiery red eyes glowing from its eye sockets, the Ape that rode the hell horse beat its chest with its ancient wooden spear as it charged into the minotaurs.
Boom!
Every strike from this Ape induced a sonic boom.
Every strike from the Ape claimed at least 2 Minotaurs with it.
The momentum of the hell horse was unstoppable as despite the fact that its strong legs carried it penetrating through the blockade of the Minotaurs, its strongest trait was its hellfire that burnt the minotaurs to death.
Roars of pain filled the battlefield but the minotaurs never relented.
Like zombies that had no feeling of pain nor fear of death, they simply threw themselves at the massive horse-riding Ape who was glad to dine in their blood.
With this single Ape, the tides of the battle turned again.
The momentum of the Apes resurged as they pushed the Minotaurs back, in a few minutes time, they started steamrolling through them again.
The battle continued like this for another 10 minutes until a different sound reverberated. After spending its time, the Monster Truck finally arrived on the battlefield, an angry Rex rushed out to greet them.
"Damn Apes!"
"My territory shall be your graves!"
