Rex was tired.
He was just coming out from back-to-back wars without sleep. After taking in the whole Blood Spartan Tribe in a single day, he celebrated throughout the night and without rest, he had to organize a defensive perimeter around his territory.
After establishing the defensive perimeter, the Exquisite Gang attacked and still without rest, he was dragged into another war.
After fighting for a long time, killing over a thousand mystic warriors in the process, his fellow leaders finally suggested the assassination plan.
Once again, without rest, he forced himself to go on the assassination. Unlike a war, an assassination was even more draining mentally since he had to be alert 100% all of the time to avoid falling into a harrowing situation or worse a trap.
From an assassination, he messed up and it became another full-blown war until he finally killed Dave and 2 more Advanced mystic warriors.
He achieved all these in 2 days and a night without an ounce of rest in between. Now, Rex wanted nothing more than to retreat to a nice and cozy room to rest his back but circumstances did not allow this.
At the current rate at which gangs were leaving the Southern region, if he were to sleep first, perhaps he would wake up to see a Southern region with only the Exquisite Gang as the only gang around.
And having won Tango's trust only due to his powerful display in the war, he did not trust him enough to lead this operation alone.
"Tango, mobilize 15,000 soldiers and follow me".
Having dominated the Blood Spartan region with even lesser mystic warriors, Rex already mastered the craft as he left the huge palace with the army.
Unlike in the Blood Spartan region where he had to take so many complicated steps because he was not really notorious yet, here, he didn't need to take all those complicated steps since the Exquisite gang already did it for him.
Despite not taking the other lesser gangs around in, the Exquisite Gang was for a long time recognized as the overlord of the Southern region.
Their army was feared and Dave was feared even more.
When the news that the mystic warrior who killed Dave was out to integrate the other gangs into the new Berserk Gang, only few dared to resist.
As for the few gangs that resisted, Rex was already too mentally drained to try knowing the reason for their rejection or negotiating with them.
"Kill them till they agree".
The army of 15,000 mystic warriors that Rex carried along swept across the Southern territory like a plague, annexing different gangs.
Rex didn't need to exert himself much since the gangs that rejected their offer were also scared of fighting them head-on. It was a one-sided war as the Berserk Gang hunted them while they focused on escaping.
The real war was not inside the region, it was at its borders.
…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions rocked the battlefield as blood flowed like a river.
Having acknowledged the orders of their gang leader, Aragorn and Ben rushed from the Blood Market zone with their army of 50,000 mystic warriors.
On their way to their destination, they met some of the gangs that were trying to escape from the Southern Zone. Those gangs who were brave enough to escape first were either the top gangs or those at the middle ranks.
The least that their armies numbered was warriors in the thousands.
As soon as they met them, Aragorn did not even try to stop them or negotiate with them, he unleashed fire on them instantly since that was the language that they best understood. Of course, the gangs retaliated furiously.
"Create a circular perimeter around them".
"Don't let a single warrior escape".
"We'll box them in and pick them one by one until they surrender".
Aragorn gave orders from inside his Monster Truck as he focused on being the battle Commander this time. As for Ben, he led the attack at the very front of the battlefield where he displayed his sword skills.
Ben killed with impunity. Back from his lizardry hunting days, he already had in instinct for killing, all that he needed was unlocking his full potential.
As he became stronger as a mystic warrior, the more he understood and unlocked his potential, now he could freely wreak havoc on this battlefield.
After 15 minutes of intense battle where 15% of the enemies were dead and their gang leader was dead, they finally surrendered.
The first battle served to herald the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th as battles raged all over the border that led out of the Southern region.
To occupy more ground, Aragorn divided the army into 4 equal parts so that they could intercept more of those gangs that were escaping.
This continued all the way till it was evening, this was when all the escaping gangs finally came to an end. Majority of them were captured and retrieved by the army, while the others were all officially gone.
For the first time in forever, the Southern region became united under one banner, under the banner of the newly rising Berserk Gang.
Rex became the leader and lord of all this new subjects and territory.
This time, he left the taking over, indoctrination and setting up a defensive perimeter to his subordinates. After stressing himself so much already, Rex was absolutely tired and had no other craving than to sleep.
As soon as he laid his back on the new king-sized bed that was presented in the room of the gang leader inside the palace, Rex's system notification lit up.

Rex did not finish reading it, he fell asleep due to exhaustion.
