Mercenary Wars

Chapter 160 Winning streak
While excited, Gaucano also felt a little regretful. After all, this was the Ring of Duels, and both sides had sworn an oath to fight to the death. The Mark of Enslavement meant that there was no room for any fancy tricks.

Furthermore, he didn't want others to know that it was a mark of enslavement; it would be better if they misunderstood it as a "human immobilization spell."

So once the mark of enslavement was triggered, he immediately commanded in his mind that Makar should remain still.

Then he stepped forward, first taking the greatsword, then removing his armor, and then taking off his storage ring...

Makar's face showed expressions of terror, anger, and shame. He seemed to be struggling desperately, but to no avail. He could only watch helplessly as Gaucano stripped him naked, leaving him with only a thin undershirt.

Having collected all the spoils beforehand, Gaucano smiled slightly, then gripped the Blood Summoning Sword tightly with both hands, repeatedly gesturing at Makar's neck—like chopping down a tree.

After demonstrating, he raised the Blood-Summoning Sword high and then let out a sharp shout.

A devastating blow!

Under this fiercest and most accurate strike, even with Makar's physical toughness, a deep and long wound was cleaved open on his neck, and pale blue blood spurted out along with wisps of electric arcs.

The fear on Makar's face turned into despair.

Gao Jiano then repeated his previous action, delivering another fierce slash.

A devastating blow!

Seeing Makar lying dead on the ground, the Mosas erupted in thunderous cheers: "Victory belongs to the Mosas!"

"The invincible Gaucano!"

"The warriors of Nordanron!"

"For Mosa!" Gaucano raised his flag amidst the cheers of the crowd.

At the same time, he also started to reconsider?

Should we have another match?
He only needs to win one more game to advance.

Moreover, he didn't reveal his trump card before the third game started, and he still didn't reveal it after the game, so theoretically he still has a certain advantage in terms of trump cards.

Gaucano further considered and found that after winning the fourth match, his winning percentage should only increase, regardless of who his opponent was in the fifth match.

If you really can't beat him, you can choose to upgrade and select a blessing that can handle the situation, and turn the tide directly.

In this way, winning five consecutive games is not difficult at all.

Five consecutive victories in front-line duels!

This is a rather amazing achievement.

After all, according to some busybodies' statistics or speculations, winning one duel in a battle signifies having the strength of one-sixth of the top in the same level, winning two consecutive battles signifies one-fortieth of the top, and winning three consecutive battles signifies one-seven-hundredth of the top...

With a five-game winning streak, theoretically, he could rank among the top 350 million in his class!

Almost without exception, those who achieved such feats became famous figures—such as Marshal Windsor of the Kingdom of Sain. It was because of this amazing achievement that the young Windsor was warmly received by the previous King of Sain, and from then on, he reached the pinnacle of his life.

It is entirely predictable that once Gaucano achieves a five-game winning streak, his life path will immediately change.

However, no one can say for sure where this road leads, especially Gaucano himself.

He was lost in thought.

Until a cry of surprise came from afar.

"Enemy attack!"

"It's reinforcements from Dibto!"

Gaucano turned his head to look over.

Suddenly, an enemy army of several hundred men appeared at several magical nodes of the intervention array, and had already destroyed one of the nodes.

Among the several locations where the attack occurred, one of them prominently displayed the flag of the Gray Eagle Mercenary Group.

Prince Eric abandoned the duel and immediately led the nearby Mosas to provide support.

After a moment's thought, Gaucano followed suit. "For Mosa!" Prince Eric roared with holy light, his voice a testament to his faith, instantly boosting the morale of all the Mosa followers nearby.

Gao Jiano also arrived at the node under the control of the Gray Eagle Mercenary Group.

The arrival of this army of Dibto did not change the overall balance of power between the two sides, but because it came suddenly, the Mosa army was temporarily overwhelmed.

At this moment, all the attacked nodes were in chaos, the intervention array was also affected, and the denial barrier showed a faint tendency to expand outward.

After briefly observing the situation, Gao Jiano drew his bow and nocked two fine steel arrows, each with five swift gusts of wind and a blood-stained arrowhead, and aimed them at the sky.

"call out--"

With a whooshing sound, two arrows flew into the sky, then, guided by a swift breeze, they veered off course and shot towards the attackers from behind.

They only managed one kill, but because the shot was fired from behind, some of the Dibto soldiers mistakenly thought they were being surrounded, causing a brief period of confusion.

Gaucano used the same tactic again, firing two more arrows and killing another enemy.

His actions quickly attracted the attention of the opposing marksman, and several lines of information flashed through his mind.

[Status Acquired: Hunter's Mark (Level 3)]

[Countermeasure: Hunter's Mark (Three Rings)]

【Successful countermeasure】

Immediately following was an arrow.

Using the hunter's mark as a means of perception, Gaucano easily dodged and fired again.

Black steel piercing arrow, swift breeze, blood-stained arrowhead!

Aim and fire!

"call out--"

"Ah!" Just then, a somewhat familiar scream rang out.

When Gaucano turned around, he saw that the one screaming was none other than the captain, Lucius.

Lucius appeared to have just killed a powerful enemy, but was immediately approached by another enemy who severed his right arm, blood gushing from the wound.

He gritted his teeth, his face contorted with malice, and with his left hand holding the sword, he charged toward the enemy who had severed his arm.

As the leader of the Grey Eagle Mercenary Group, Lucius's strength is certainly not to be underestimated. Moreover, it is well known that he is ambidextrous, and the dexterity and strength of his left hand are in no way inferior to that of his right hand.

Therefore, after a brief exchange, he defeated his enemy using only his left hand.

At this point, the attack was essentially over.

The Mosaic side lost three nodes, while the attackers were almost completely wiped out.

The situation at the node under the control of the Gray Eagle Mercenary Group was relatively good; the node was intact and the casualties were not significant. The most notable loss was probably Lucius's right arm.

Lucius sat in the corner, silently receiving the priest's treatment. Pain, shame, resentment, and regret... all intertwined on his face, forming a hideous expression.

After all, a disability is different from a regular injury; it is almost irreversible. One can imagine how he felt at that moment.

Gaucano had never seen Lucius look so grim.

Of course, he didn't have much of a relationship with Lucius, so he didn't care about it and only glanced at it from afar before looking away.

He has more important things to deal with now.
