"Our counterattack begins".
Rex did not just say this in words, his actions also echoed it.

With a single skill, Rex successfully isolated one of the horse-riding Apes from the others as the air around it erupted into a burning fire cage, trapping it.
The others tried to intervene but they could not.
From afar, Aragorn led the army like a veteran War Commander.
"Reinforce our comrades".
"Revenge their deaths by wiping off all the Apes".
"On me!"
In Aragorn's sight, his Monster Truck have been massively underutilized by Rex and the other warriors in his team so far.
Once he entered the battlefield, the first thing that he did was locating his Monster Truck. As soon as it detected his presence, from afar, the Monster Truck was already bulldozing its way towards its real owner.
"Welcome big boy, let's show the Apes some love".
Aragorn in one smooth motion dived into and boarded his truck.
He activated all the defense and offense systems of the upgraded Monster Truck as from all over its metallic body came out gun and canon muzzles.
Over the months, as Aragorn researched more into his mystic mechanic profession, he never once neglected his inherited Blood Gunner ability.
Instead, one of his main ambitions was merging the powers of his 2 main mystic abilities and after months of research, he achieved preliminary success.
Though he could not use it on himself as easily, by incorporating some rare reactive exotic metals in his Monster Truck, the truck could now resonate with his mystic energy to unleash Blood Shots at enemies.
Blood Shots from the Monster Truck were even more lethal than those that he could shoot personally with his Blood Pistols.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground vibrated like the earth was being drilled open as it fired.
As the red blood shots flew through the air like envoys of the god of death, blood blossomed wildly in the air, the perfect world for a vampire as the gun muzzles and canon muzzles of the Monster Truck went releasing their loads.
Despite their incredible strength and endurance, the Apes could not endure the impact. It was either a part of them exploding or them bursting into a bloody mess, the Monster Truck made an instant impact on Aragorn's hands.
Aragorn was not the only reinforcement though, with the Monster Truck taking the lead, all the other trucks unleashed their loads on the Apes.
They spread the fury of the Berserk Gang to the Apes.
Gunshots filled the battlefields, swordsmen, spear experts, they flexed their mystic energy as they hunted the Apes that once hunted their comrades.
"For the Berserk Gang!"
Chants like this filled the battlefield as the momentum of the battlefield shifted, leaving the favor of the Apes and favoring the human warriors.
For every Ape attack, the humans pounded them 10 times more and harder.
This was a pound for pound battle but the humans hit harder now.
In just 10 minutes after the reinforcement arrived, the tides changed completely as corpse of Apes filled the battlefield, painting it red and black.
During this time, Rex and his comrades already fought the isolated horse-riding Ape and severely injured it. Though the 2 other Apes and their Hell Horses tried to interfere, the flames of Rex's oxygen manipulation were just too fierce.
Whoosh!
As soon as her grapple hooks were launched, Swift Spear descended to unleash the last judgement to the already incapacitated Ape.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Her spear cut through its thick hide like a butcher slaughtering a pig.
Before he could finish the Ape off though, Rex who had been watching attentively rushed in for the kill.

As soon as Rex's hand touched the head of the Ape, its eyes turned white like its soul was ruthlessly yanked out of its body.
For a few seconds, it jerked like it was struggling before going still.

As soon as Rex received this series of notifications, the Ape's eyes returned to normal as it looked at the sun in horror and gasped for breath.
While it looked, its eyes faded as its body withered in seconds.
The gigantic Horse-riding Ape faded into dust.
The sight spooked not just Swift Spear and the others who were able to watch this from up close, but also the remaining 2 Horse-riding Apes.
The 2 Horse-riding Apes briefly turned to look at the battlefield, everywhere, Apes were now the ones dying as the humans slaughtered them.
The bigger of the 2 raised its war Axe the next moment and roared.
"Roar!"
Soon after he finished roaring, he kicked his hell horse as the fire of the horse burned brighter than ever before. Without a moment's hesitation, the hell horse turned around and turned into a fiery streak, disappearing from the battlefield.
The other Horse-riding Ape who also wielded a war Axe did the same thing. They escaped but Rex was not having it as he was already prepared for a scenario like this while he still fought them.
After so many of his warriors dying in this invasion attempt, he had no intentions of letting 2 of the main culprits escaping so freely.

Whoosh!
Rex was dyed with a blood aura as he rose from the ground and flew into the skies the next moment deep into the woods after the 2 Horse-riding Apes.
He disappeared as a red streak was left in the sky.
Whoosh!
Swift Spear reacted almost at the same time that Rex moved. Launching her grapple hooks, she flew into the skies and rapidly went in pursuit.
Just like Rex but though with different reasons, she did not want to let the 2 Horse-riding Apes escape without a proper fight.
Elanor and Ben were about to go in pursuit but Cassandra stopped them.
"We're not as fast as them, we won't be able to keep up".
"We should rather help the warriors to finish off the remaining Apes".
After the mighty roar from the Horse-riding Apes, a lot of the Apes already started retreating back into their Great Forest but most of them were still in the Berserk Gang's territory. This was ripe time to pick them one at a time.
With Cassandra leading them, the 3 of them dived into the battle enthusiastically as they accelerated the massacre of the mystic Apes.
Ben's sword dissected them apart with a vengeance. "This is for the shock!"
"This is for my dead comrades!"
"This is for making me remember sad memories".
"This is for the freaking destruction!"
In 20 minutes time, thousands of Ape corpses were littered across the Blood Market territory all the way to the Great Ape Forest.
The remaining Apes escaped but not after a scar of a lifetime from the warriors of the Berserk Gang, they survived the invasion.
