Berserk: The Prophet

Chapter 170 Reinforcements

The 2.16-meter-tall serpent tyrant Ovos was covered in heavy plate armor from head to toe, like a giant, mobile iron barrel. At this moment, he was wielding a giant axe, and with one strike, he deflected the flying arrows.

"You newly appointed brat of Yaoyang Port, I advise you to come out and surrender quickly, or I'll smash your head in!!" Ovos shouted at Aleris, looking up at him.

A resolute glint flashed in Aleris's eyes. He would not yield to such a threat. He drew his longbow to its full draw and fired it at Ovos.

Ovos hurriedly held his giant shield up to the front of the battle. Arrows struck the shield with a loud thud, and some even nearly pierced through it completely, which undoubtedly enraged him.

"Prepare to die, kid!!"

"Battle Ram!! Clear the way!!!"

At Ovos's command, the battering ram carrying the serpent sculpture was pushed into front of the fortress by four cobra warriors, instantly destroying the barricades used to block the advance of the Serpent Cult.

The army of the Serpent Cult launched a final assault on the lord's fortress, the battering rams beating like war drums, each impact causing the fortress walls to tremble.

Meanwhile, the Viper Shadowwalkers threw grappling hooks and began climbing the fortress walls, while the Cobra Warriors hurled poisoned axes toward the top of the fortress.

"Fire arrows!!" The fall of the city to the Serpent Cult seemed inevitable, and Aleris could only try his best to deal with the Serpent Cult scum.

The soldiers drew their bows and arrows, firing at the Viper Stalkers scaling the walls and the Cobra Warriors hurling axes. Arrows rained down, axes flew like locusts, and the battle on the walls was fierce.

More Viper Shadowwalkers scaled the city walls, engaging the defenders in close combat. Aerys led the charge, wielding his longsword and fighting alongside the enemy.

Meanwhile, some cobra warriors stealthily circled around to the side of the city wall, attempting to find a breach. Aleris noticed their intentions and immediately dispatched a squad of soldiers to intercept them.

With the fortress gates breached, the battle between the two armies intensified. Facing the almost inhuman giant python infantry, Yaoyang Port suffered heavy casualties.

But Aleris and his soldiers remained steadfast in their posts, refusing to back down an inch.

"Hahaha, crush them!!" Ovos laughed wildly as he watched the Sunburst Port soldiers retreat in disarray within the fortress.

Aleris shouted, "Soldiers, we have nowhere to retreat! Only by fighting to the death can we have a chance of survival!!"

The soldiers responded to his call, mustered their last bit of strength, and fought a desperate battle with the giant python infantry, filled with grief and indignation.

However, the giant python infantry were more powerful than they had imagined. They had tall bodies and tough heavy armor, and even hard scales under their skin, making the soldiers' attacks almost ineffective.

"Woo--Woo--"

Suddenly, a loud horn blast rang out outside Radiant Sun Harbor; the familiar and endearing melody was the horn of Barkley's allied forces!

"Reinforcements!! Reinforcements!!"

Hearing the resounding bugle call, the soldiers' fighting spirit was ignited, and they finally held out until reinforcements arrived!

"Aaaaaah! Damn the Serpent Cult, I'll fight you to the death!!"

The soldiers who lost their loved ones in the Battle of Yaoyang Port were filled with rage and fought back like they were on steroids, even though they were far inferior to the Python Infantry in terms of physical fitness and equipment.

The sudden sound of horns startled Overs. Turning around, he saw that the city gates and walls had indeed been recaptured by Barkley's allied forces!

The black Barkley flags with double eagles that have been replanted all over the city walls are the best proof!

Seeing that their retreat had been cut off, the elite members of the Serpent Worship Sect felt a chill in their hearts. They were no longer willing to enter the fortress to fight to the death, and one by one they withdrew to observe the situation.

What happened to the Saintess's priestly forces? Did the ambush by the Cobra Tyrant and the Viper Tyrant fail?

Barkley's reinforcements flooded into Sunshine Harbor, instantly turning the tide of the battle.

Seeing reinforcements arrive, Aleris felt a surge of hope and raised his arms, shouting, "Brothers, follow me and fight our way out to avenge our fallen comrades!"

The soldiers' morale soared, and they charged into battle alongside Aleris. A fierce melee ensued, with shouts of battle shaking the heavens and the earth.

With the overwhelming advantage of superior numbers of reinforcements, the army of the Serpent Worship Cult gradually suffered defeat.

"Don't panic, we have a chance to survive if we break out with me!" Seeing the situation was bad, the leader of the Serpent Cult, Ovos, mounted his horse and tried to organize his elite troops to break out, although he still couldn't stop some of the smaller Karami from escaping.

Only the clumsy, simple-minded, and physically strong giant python warriors loyally followed Ovos. After only a moment of hesitation, they quickly regrouped under the organization of the tyrant Ovos.

Three hundred giant python knights, under the cover of five hundred giant python infantry, mounted their horses, preparing to lead their commander, Ovos, out of the encirclement.

But Trunks, the mighty warrior of Barkley, had already set his sights on him. As early as when he entered the city, he led the Holy Dragon Knights to ambush him in the alleys.

Trunks closed the Holy Dragon Mask that had been raised above his head, and as the Serpent Knights charged toward the battle formation of Barkley's soldiers, Trunks led the Holy Dragon Knights toward the flank of the Serpent Knights.

Trunks' heavy halberd quickly tore a gap in the Giant Python Knights, who were instantly caught in a fierce battle under attack from both sides.

Meanwhile, the giant python infantry charged toward the city gate of Radiant Harbor, attempting to break out together with the giant python knights.

Trunks wielded his heavy halberd with fierce determination, relentlessly reaping the lives of his enemies. Under his leadership, the Holy Dragon Knights swept across the battlefield like a whirlwind. Caught off guard, the giant python knights fell one after another, their flank defenses completely torn apart.

The gradual arrival of the giant python infantry caused the Holy Dragon Knights to suffer losses. Trunks led the Holy Dragon Knights to turn around and regroup, accumulating a new round of sprint damage.

"Damn it!" Just as the giant python knights, led by Ovos, had torn a gap in Barkley's heavy infantry formation, Trunks ripped open their flank. This enraged Ovos, who immediately led his giant python knights to turn around and charge towards Trunks amidst the sea of ​​men. However, turning around now was quite troublesome and time-consuming.

Trunks had already led the Holy Dragon Knights in another charge through the alley. No matter how muscular the giant python infantry were, they couldn't withstand the impact and trampling of the heavy warhorses.

Meanwhile, the Silver Knights, led by Vilian, came from the other alley to support Aleris from the rear. Aleris wisely ordered his troops to give the Silver Knights room to charge.

"Charge!!" With Vilian's command, rows of gleaming silver-armored knights donned mithril lances and charged forward, impaling the giant python infantry into a skewer of pieces before their terrified eyes.
