Berserk: The Prophet

Most of the cavalry have now rushed back to the "Fire Dragon's Nest" at breakneck speed, and at least three hundred Flame Dragon Heavy Knights are protecting Gurenbeldo.

Abecassis, leading his elite cavalry, pursued relentlessly, and the distance between them gradually closed. Gurenberudo grew increasingly anxious; he knew that once caught, his side would be plunged into a fierce battle. Even with the valiant strength of the Flame Dragon Heavy Knights, heavy casualties were inevitable against Abecassis's relentless pursuit.

Just then, the narrow valley passage they had come from appeared ahead, and Gurenberudo had an idea. He ordered three hundred Flame Dragon Heavy Knights to quickly pass through and then form ranks at the wide entrance of the valley, ready to meet the pursuers.

"Let's crush their arrogance right here!! Let Abecassis taste the might of the Flame Dragon Knights!" Gurenbeldo roared, raising his warhammer. Many of the soldiers who had fought and died for him over the years had come from Juda's concentration camps, and they all longed to tear Abecassis apart alive with their own hands!!

Abecassis saw Gurunberdo's formation and a disdainful smile appeared on his lips. "He thinks he can stop me with this few men? How foolish."

But he forgot that the valley he had led his troops into was wide inside but narrow outside; escaping would be easy in but difficult out. Moreover, he had already created some distance between himself and the main force, and the narrow passage meant that the army could not provide immediate large-scale support!

Seeing Abecasius don the armor, the Flame Dragon Heavy Knights launched a charge, with Gurenbeldo leading the charge. He swung his warhammer, each swing sending sprays of blood through the air.

Despite his initial shock, Abecassis remained calm. He roared, urging his soldiers to fight back. However, the Flame Dragon Heavy Knights, with their overwhelming momentum, advantageous terrain, and deep-seated hatred for Juda and Abecassis, gradually put Abecassis's pursuers at a disadvantage.

Watching Abecassis's retreating figure, Kadi couldn't help but curse him under his breath as an idiot! At the same time, he was pondering the reason for Gurunberdo's sudden withdrawal. However, his immediate priority was to take down Gurunberdo as soon as possible!

"All troops, advance at full speed! Maintain formation!" On the battlefield, Kadi, dressed in silver armor, temporarily took command. The unique armor shell of Juda, inspired by marine animals, was truly unappealing.

When Abecassis saw that Gurenbeldo had stopped, he assumed that Gurenbeldo had nowhere to run and was overjoyed. "Gurenbeldo, let's see where you can run now!" He led his cavalry to accelerate towards the valley.

As Juda's cavalry entered the valley, Gurenbeldo gave the order, and the Flame Dragon Heavy Knights raised their lances and charged towards the enemy.

The narrow valley terrain restricted the Juda cavalry's mobility, and they fell into chaos before they could even regroup. Gurenbeldo, wielding his warhammer, leaped from his chariot and charged into the enemy ranks, each strike like a dragon's tail sweeping Juda cavalrymen off their horses.

"That idiot Abecassis, he's so weak yet he dares to stand so far forward!"

—Those who stand in my way die, those who stand in my way die. Killing is as easy as breathing. Ordinary people can't charge into battle like him; only Grünberudo can do it. He's human, yet he's not human at all; it's less about killing enemies and more about crushing pests. The difference in physique and weapon size makes the trick to being effective on the battlefield incredibly simple: wield a heavier weapon faster than your opponent—for Grünberudo, that's the truth.

As Abecasius watched Gurenbeldo draw ever closer, a sense of fear finally crept in. He frantically swung his greatsword, trying to break through the Flame Dragon Heavy Knights' defenses. His greatsword slashed and hacked through the crowd, putting considerable pressure on the Flame Dragon Heavy Knights.

After single-handedly killing more than 100 soldiers and crippling more than twice that number, Gurunberudo finally faced off against Abekasis.

As a general, Abecassis's duty to command on the battlefield caused him to miss the best opportunity to escape.

“Grunberdo…!!” Even Abecassis, whom Juda called a “giant,” seemed extremely small as he looked at the Grunberdo that was almost right in front of him, and he desperately pulled on the reins, trying to escape.

Gurunberdo seized the opportunity, smashing all the troublesome figures to pieces with a sweeping motion, and then rushed towards Abekasis, slamming his giant hammer down.

Abecassis dodged in a panic, the warhammer's head slicing into his left arm. Although it didn't hit him directly, his elbow joint was shattered, and it flew away along with his armor in fragments.

"Eee, ee-yaa ...

However, they were clearly not as lucky as General Abecassis. The valley passage behind them was extremely narrow, and they quickly became crowded, resulting in a stampede.

...Flesh and armor were trampled into the mud, making it impossible to distinguish between bones and other materials. The Flame Dragon Knights of Gurenbeldo achieved a resounding victory.

Gurenbeludo desperately wanted to catch up with and kill Abecassis, but too many exhausted soldiers blocked his path. He could only watch helplessly as Abecassis's figure was swallowed up by the sea of ​​enemy soldiers.

"Now! Eliminate as many of these Juda cavalry as possible!!"

The Flame Dragon Knights charged towards the Juda cavalry like a surging tide. Gurenbeldo stared at the direction where Abecassis had disappeared, his eyes filled with resentment.

Even though Juda is currently in complete disarray, the enemy had planned this from the beginning, and the situation remains fraught with danger. Moreover, the enemy has a full 20,000 soldiers as support, which is not enough no matter how many Gurenbelud kills.

At this moment, his confidant came to his side and whispered, "My lord, we should not stay here any longer. Although Qiu Da's army has been defeated, its main force still exists."

Gurenberdo nodded in agreement and did not press his advantage, so he led the Fire Dragon Knights back to the "Fire Dragon's Nest".

On the other side, Abecasius clutched his injured arm, looking utterly disheveled. His heart was filled with resentment, and he vowed to exact revenge on Gorombeldo. Amidst the chaotic procession, a pair of eyes silently watched him—that of Kadi.

Abecassis was so impulsive and reckless, and now, like a stray dog, he had lost an arm and was no longer fit to lead an army.

Moreover, since Tokar's defeat, he has taken over the position that Abekasis originally held.

"...It seems the plan has been exposed. Until General Abecassis has bandaged his wounds, I will take command of the army." Kadi loudly announced his takeover to the remaining soldiers.

The soldiers looked at each other, feeling some sympathy for Abecassis's plight, but also knowing that the current situation was dire and not as planned, leaving them no choice but to follow Kadi's orders.

“...You!” Even though Abecassis was very unwilling, he had to admit that his decision just now was too reckless.

Not only did it fail to stop Gurenbeldo's advance, but it also cost him his left arm. Although it is most taboo for a defeated army to continue fighting, it is clear that... the Juda soldiers stationed in Chester are used to defeat, and the veterans will start to flee when things go wrong.

"...All of this is to stabilize morale. Go and bandage your wounds," Kadi said calmly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Abecassis glared fiercely at Kadi, but knowing he was powerless to refute her, he could only grit his teeth and turn to walk towards the medical tent. Kadi watched his departing figure, a complex expression flashing in his eyes, a mixture of contempt for Abecassis and his own calculations.

Kadi reorganized the remaining troops and began to devise a new strategy to take down the "Dragon's Nest".

Although it's unclear where things went wrong, catching up with Gurenberdo is clearly too late now. They can only take it one step at a time and see what Hekun does next, especially if he still wants to remain a member of the Juda royal family...

Meanwhile, Gurenberudo, who was returning to the "Dragon's Nest," began to have doubts. Why would the Grand Duke collude with Juda? This attack was clearly intended to lure him out.
