25. Strategy meeting (1)
Did Sanghyun’s interview touch a very painful spot?
Some local reactions were not only scary, but even bloody.
Even Korean users, who are ranked second in the world when it comes to spicy remarks, are surprised.
-The European brothers are fierce
-It’s a bit scary;;
-French business people go crazy for mentioning K meat~
└K meat ㅇㅈㄹㅋㅋㅋ
└ㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋ
-Look at the devil’s effect in the interview lol -Breaking
news) Solomon “Recruiting the 73rd devil”
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└Oh, that can’t be…?
-Spain can really feel the heat up to this point lol
-Just enjoy it~ You won~
Among the reactions from overseas, there were a lot of comments making personal attacks with clenched teeth. Fortunately, the Korean fans didn’t suffer much as they had already won the game against France.
-France said haha. Stop crying and say it
. -Hey. “Byung-in” If you lose, shut up.
-Information) Byeonginyangyo is also recorded as a defeat for France.
└“You idiot”
└He’s a legend hahahaha └How
are you trying to beat Cyber Joseon when you can’t even beat real Joseon hahaha
– Meanwhile, there’s a comment saying you’re handsome hahaha
└ㄹㅇ
– Oh, you’re so funny hahahahaha
– Other players are trash too. It would be fun to talk about it
└ㄹㅇ
“Hmm….”
Sanghyun thought this as he read further.
‘If I had lost…’
Now that I’ve won, I’ll just laugh it off like this.
What would have happened if you lost?
Of course, there would be no way to do an interview like that after losing.
‘….’
Wait, is that really true?
After thinking about it for a while, Sang-hyeon realizes that this is a problem he cannot give a definite answer to.
“Hmm…”
What would it have been like if you had done this interview after losing and the reaction was like this?
If that had been the case, Korean public opinion would not have been as positive as it is today.
Anyway, I’m really glad I won.
With that thought in mind, Sanghyun put his cell phone away.
“okay. Have you seen all the ‘foreign news articles’?”
Joo-hyuk asks with a genuine smile.
“It’s better than the domestic response.”
Phew.
Joo Hyuk could barely hold back his laughter.
It wasn’t wrong, but it was clearly written on Sanghyun’s face that it wasn’t exactly the reaction he was expecting.
“what. That’s enough. “Stop looking at the interview reactions…”
Joo-hyuk held out his cell phone this time.
“Look at this.”
What appears on the phone screen is the main page of Runestargram.
“…Rune Star?”
How long has it been since I stopped taking care of that? Suddenly a rune star?
Perhaps because of poor management, the number of followers, which had been increasing continuously, was stagnating at around 130,000.
“You said you would manage this yourself. “You didn’t do anything?”
“…Actually, it’s not very helpful. “For streamers.”
“okay. But I think we’ll have to do it again.”
“?”
Joo-hyuk says he has to manage Rune Star again.
chuck.
Joo Hyuk held out the screen.
There was a Runestar account with 600,000 followers.
“…It’s mine, right?”
It was in the low 100,000 range, but suddenly it was 600,000.
I wonder what’s going on here.
* * *
Tak.
Chi-seung sets down the coffee they are all drinking together and asks vaguely.
“It seemed like the Spanish kids were really excited. Is this all strategy? Cookie hyung?”
There are a total of six at the conference table.
There were three commanders of the Joseon team and three key brains of the think tank.
Everyone gathered to discuss the next game strategy.
“what? “What strategy?”
However, from the beginning, the subject matter is somewhat strange.
“…Oh no. Interview. “You didn’t provoke me on purpose?”
“What…interview?”
Heechul tilts his head.
He had no idea because he conducted a separate interview with the general commander and immediately left the capsule to prepare a strategy.
“Ah…”
Chiseung scratched his head.
“That wasn’t what was mentioned. “Almond said something that my brother usually joked about.”
“?”
Heechul takes a sip of coffee and searches.
“What did you say?”
It wasn’t difficult to find.
Now that the error has been restored, all the posts that received a lot of ‘fire’ (*MBul-style recommendation) just by going into MBul were talking about that.
“The devil of the interview? Even the devil said something.”
“Haha…”
Chiseung laughed as if he was having trouble.
If you didn’t know, just pass by without knowing… What else are you looking for?…
“The compatibility between the Franks and Joseon is like an invincible armada… Invincible in name only…?”
There was surprise in Heechul’s eyes.
“I can’t believe you really said this.”
It was something he sometimes said as a joke. I guess it’s high-class humor between people who know history well.
This is to point out that Spain’s Invincible Armada is actually most famous for its name and not for its combat power.
“I can’t believe you’re talking about it to the actual person, not just at a certain level.”
Phew… Phew…!
Heechul ultimately can’t hold back his laughter.
“Hahahaha!”
“?”
“Is it fun? “It’s a hundred times better than the jokes I told.”
Chiseung sighed.
“Well… Anyway, I’m glad it suits your taste. Yes….”
Chiseung had no idea that this was an interview that had not been discussed in advance.
‘As expected, he is a crazy person.’
Tuk.
Barum, who had been quiet, puts down her coffee cup.
“I know that interview, too.”
“okay?”
“yes. France and Spain were very excited after seeing that interview. Especially since Spain’s next game is against us. “I was very excited.”
“But how did you find out about the overseas reaction?”
Cookie thought it was an obvious question, but Barum’s face turned red.
“?”
“I… I was just browsing the internet…”
Barum turns his head and avoids gaze.
Chiseung immediately realized what was going on.
‘You searched your own name terribly.’
This is what people usually do when they are interested.
Barum was a secret servant, so he was probably excited and watched the reaction to himself for a long time.
Because he performed well in this game.
“No matter what, it’s a good sign that the enemy is excited.”
Chiseung nodded.
“yes. Since we are an all-pro team and have sponsors, we will be sensitive if we are exposed to such provocations.”
“oh. right. As expected, Chiseung sees the flow well.”
Heechul grinned.
This is because it contained what he wanted to say to his teammates.
“It may seem like the pros will have an unconditional advantage, but that’s not true.”
There were quite a few members of the team who felt fearful about Spain’s All-Pro lineup.
But Heechul genuinely thinks it’s worth a try.
“Is the spear that a professional uses 1cm longer? Not really. On the other hand, they have a huge amount of pressure on them.”
What does the word professional mean?
It means receiving money. It is under the influence of the sponsoring club that provides the money.
Who cares about those sponsors and clubs?
It’s a fan.
“These players have no choice but to be sensitive to public opinion. “Rather than being angry about the Almond interview, he probably feels burdened by the fact that his fans are upset.”
“Ah… there may be confusion in the operation. “If we overdo it a little more…”
“There is a good chance that will happen. “Anyway…”
Heechul seemed to have wanted to say these last words, as he adjusted his posture and spoke neatly.
“People who play games for a purpose and to make money. “You can’t beat someone who really enjoys it.”
Everyone quietly nodded.
“Okay, that’s enough chatting…”
Heechul lifted something that looked like a chessboard piece on the table.
thud.
Insert it into the main base of Spain on the virtual map.
“Now…”
The words he was pointing at were referring to siege weapons.
Siege weapons are generally used starting from the 3rd era.
This means that this match will have a 3rd era aspect.
“Let’s look back on that operation. “What did you say you named it?”
“ah. “Operation ‘Destroy’?”
Eat.
Heechul smiled at the sensible name.
“okay. That name. Do you like it. The review of Operation Destroy begins. Because we couldn’t scrimmage. The simulation must be done thoroughly. This time, Barum is in charge of Spain and Doojun is in charge of Korea.”
“yes. yes.”
* * *
Meanwhile, the Spanish command center was also meeting in This World.
“Joseon defeated the Franks with a rush of archers in the 2nd era.”
General Commander ‘Nacho’ was giving a briefing on the Joseon War.
“This is before we even upgraded the Conqueror faction! “It means you can finish the game in the 2nd era.”
conqueror.
It is a 3rd era faction representing Spain, which aggressively expanded its colonies.
It speeds up the production of long-range weapons using gunpowder by as much as 30%.
Yes.
Spain has been producing guns, long-range anti-personnel weapons that use gunpowder, since the 3rd era.
The problem is before we reach these three ages.
“What do you think?”
Nacho asks the other people.
“Yes… nachos. “I was a little stricken.”
Assistant commander ‘Uno’ answers carefully.
“I thought, if we can do that against the Franks, wouldn’t it be easier for us against Spain?”
The Franks were a representative early, strong civilization that emerged from the Second Age.
Joseon, a late-stage strong civilization that created a successful early all-in rush against such civilizations.
From the opponent’s perspective, it was quite painful.
This is because Spain does not have a faction as powerful as the Frankish Knights in the 2nd era.
“I recommend producing more infantry weapons in the 2nd Age and equipping yourself with a solid defense tower before entering the 3rd Age.”
Murmur.
The table is noisy for a moment due to Uno’s words.
This is because Spain has never thought of having to consider the second era against Joseon.
“Going solid? Then what if Joseon goes into the third era again?”
“Then we can use the infantry we made to keep them in check.”
“okay. We should even consider taking the lead. “Isn’t that too passive?”
“What kind of initiative are you taking against the archer civilization? I think that opinion is correct. “Going to the 3rd era a little later will not put us at a disadvantage.”
bang!
Someone boldly intervened among the noisy people.
Another assistant commander is ‘Tress’.
“out of it.”
“…?”
Everyone looks at him and asks him to explain what is wrong.
“The premise was wrong in the first place. “Isn’t that a mistake Frank made while considering Joseon’s defense tower rush?”
“so?”
Uno asked, crossing his arms in annoyance.
Then Tres growls even more.
“Joseon is not a civilization capable of carrying out a second era rush! That kind of firepower is not real firepower! “It overlaps with Frank’s mistake!”
This situation happened because of Frank’s mistake and is not a strategy Spain should really consider.
It wasn’t wrong.
However, Uno, who insisted on ‘let’s go solidly’, refutes this.
“Then what about us? Can we not be fooled? Can you tell if Joseon’s 1st era defense tower rush is coming or if they’re just scouting? In Joseon, you can’t tell the difference because soldiers build defense towers!?”
Among the factions of the 1st era of Joseon, there is a thing called ‘Noyeok’. Joseon was able to build defense towers using soldiers if necessary.
Of course, it is less efficient than a worker, but the problem is that it can be done.
“It’s slow for soldiers to build defense towers! Once it starts, you just have to stop it. “There’s no need to be scared!”
“Are you scared!? “Who was scared!?”
“no no! Uno tres!”
Bang bang bang!
Nacho slams the table to calm him down.
“I didn’t bring this topic up so that you would be swayed by Joseon’s anomalies.”
Everyone becomes quiet at Nacho’s words.
“Find a solution. “A solution to prevent them from doing strange things as we enter the Third Age into a similar time zone!”
Kill two birds with one stone?
Everyone gathered at the table looks bewildered.
How do you do something like that?
Tres retorts.
“Honestly, even if we were deceived and entered the 3rd era a little late, we have the advantage in terms of power. Nachos. “Looking for a solution is actually being swayed.”
“It’s not easy!”
At this, Nacho scolded with burning eyes.
“Frank was thinking exactly that and got hit! Can you handle losing to Joseon!? Do you know what it means to lose to Joseon in this group? “It’s a death sentence!”
“…”
“Besides, didn’t you all see what that bastard said in the interview!?”
Everyone nods slowly.
“I saw this and this is what happened!? Do you think our fans will accept defeat? Even if you win, you will be criticized if you win with difficulty. “Am I wrong?”
Everyone slowly shook their heads.
Having many fans is both a great weapon and a great responsibility.
If I let you down, it wouldn’t be surprising if something happened.
Nacho was fully aware of this, so he was very excited by their attitude.
He stood up and shouted.
“Step on it!”
Cooung.
Nacho stomping his feet.
“Take it down completely for the next game!” Don’t even show yourself being swayed in the beginning! From the beginning! to the end! Win! “Find a solution right now and bring it to me. I’m sure there is one!”
He looks like he’s really excited about someone’s interview.
