Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 148
50. Rugged Mountain Valley (1)
The temperature difference between online and offline was clear.
If this were the online preliminaries, Sanghyun would have just lounged around at home in comfortable short-sleeved shorts and then entered the capsule.
But now I am waiting in the player waiting room.
That too with 200 players.
The noise they made while talking, the sound of their breathing, the stuffy air…
everything was different.
As the start time of the game got closer and closer, the chatter gradually died down one by one.
The waiting room was suddenly filled with silence.
It’s coming soon.
“Players! This is my position!”
A staff member’s shout was heard.
Cookie, who was in the lead, got up first.
“ruler.”
He raised his arms and looked back at the players.
And shouted loudly.
“Let’s go! To win!!!”
The players also shouted together in response.
“Ajaaaaa!!!”
It was a simple slogan.
I guess we don’t have much time here and there aren’t enough seats.
It was simply finished.
Cookie put on her white uniform and walked outside.
Viking players came out of the waiting room across from us.
After they exchanged only eye contact.
We walked forward side by side.
It was a narrow and dark passage. There is a bright light outside.
And the cheering sound of the cheering crowd leaks in.
“Waaah….”
Just the aftershocks of that shout already makes my heart pound.
Sanghyun made eye contact with Jessie, who was coming out from the other side.
Jessie greeted me with a smile, but as expected, she didn’t say anything.
Apparently, she is also nervous.
The first match of the finals.
This is probably a game the Vikings should never lose.
Of course, that also applies to Joseon.
Sanghyun just nodded and walked next to Jesse.
As the light gradually got closer, shouts could be heard clearly.
“Now, players! When you leave, sign the autograph and shake hands with the person next to you! Please move to your seats—”
The guide’s voice was erased as if it never existed.
“──Waaaaaaaa!!!”
Bright sunlight shone down from the open ceiling of the stadium, and spectators surrounding the stadium welcomed them.
thud. thud. thud.
I couldn’t tell if it was the sound of drums or my heart.
The strange sounds coming from all kinds of cheering equipment and the name calls of the cheering players are mixed together.
As I look around, I see numerous white crosses filling the stands.
The Vikings were overwhelmingly numerous.
Maybe it’s because not many people expected to advance to the finals, so they couldn’t come to cheer, or because there are no real fans of Civil M in Korea, so they didn’t want to go through the trouble of buying plane tickets offline.
There may be many reasons.
In any case, the current atmosphere was similar to that of a Vikings home game.
When I actually faced this number, I felt a tremendous amount of pressure.
The shouting was so loud that it felt like I couldn’t hear anything.
I could barely hear the guide waving his arms and shouting something.
“handshake!”
I turned to the side at the sign. Next to Almond was Jesse.
Without even knowing who was first, strange smiles appeared on the lips of both of them.
click!
At the end of the handshake procession, the photographer set off his flash.
After that, the players turned their backs on each other and walked in opposite directions.
In front of it, 201 capsules were open and waiting.
* * *
“hello! To all the wandering mercenaries across the country! this place! Greetings from Osaka, Japan!”
The broadcast began with the caster’s booming voice.
-Wow~
-Hehehehe
-The beginning of a legend
-Gazuaaaa
-Hehe!
-Fake gukdae fighting!
.
.
.
Is it the power of a fake national team? From the beginning, numerous chats come up.
“today! Finally, Joseon’s first final match! It’s the day of the game against the Vikings. This match. What do you think? Mr. Kinggyul?”
“ah. yes. First of all, it is obviously a game in which the Vikings have the advantage.”
“Oh, that’s clear!”
“Yes. That’s the prevailing opinion right now. “You have to admit what you have to admit.”
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㄹㅇ
-ㅠㅠ
-But you’ll do well
-Oh…
-It doesn’t seem easy since the finals
-Tangerine packaging department Kinggyul is not good at packaging…
Kinggyul was cut right from the beginning, so Viking was evaluated as having an advantage.
“ah. Why do you think Viking has such an advantage? “Is there a problem of compatibility between civilizations?”
“no. When it comes to the compatibility of civilizations, it actually has to be seen as well-balanced, right?”
-ㅠㅠㅠ
-“I just can’t do it.”
-Caster, are you asking this on purpose to make me angry? LOL -Ah
…
“What’s interesting about Vikings is that the 1st era is extremely powerful. It peaks in the 2nd era. Surprisingly, the 3rd era is just the same as the 2nd era.”
“yes? Are you saying that the 3rd era is also the peak?”
“no. “It is the third lost era.”
-???
-japan:???
-Why is it suddenly Japan lol
-Localization of commentary ㄷㄷ
-No, isn’t it Japan?ㅋㅋㅋ
-Mㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋ
-Currently in progress for 50 years of the Lost Samurai~
-Lost Samurai ㄷㄷ
“Ahaha. okay? “The 3rd Age is weak?”
“you’re right. It’s really weak. “Is that because it is a barbarian, plundering, and fighting civilization?”
“ah. On the other hand, Joseon is pretty good in the 3rd era, right?”
“yes. Joseon is also compared to a tier 1 civilization in the 3rd era. “The problem is what you put out during the process of getting there.”
“Hey. Even if you just listen to the explanation, it’s a very interesting structure where people bite each other, right?”
“It’s quite balanced.”
-Hwangbal haha
-Ouroboros battle
-Civilization is all about yellowbattle
-But isn’t it a bit disadvantageous for Vikings to take the first turn and then beat them since they have the advantage first?
-ㅇㅈ~
“But why did you say it was at a disadvantage?”
“That’s right…”
“We are at a disadvantage not because of our civilization compatibility, but because of our skill gap. Is this it? “We just can’t do it?”
-Kkkk Assassination attempt
-When the Gukbbong brothers come, they will get beaten up now, Kinggyul
-Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk When the other brothers come, they will get beaten up now.
Kinggyul quickly adds to the caster’s words.
“that! Run! place!”
-ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ
Citrus Packaging Department Major
-Packaging Gazua ~!
-How will we get through this time? Haha.
“Everyone. Look at the countries that Joseon has defeated so far? Was there even one favorable match?! Our country!! Korea!!! When has there ever been an advantage!? No resources! “Everything is in ruins due to war!”
-The build-up has started haha.
-Atta, the foundation construction is going strong with concrete pouring~
-hahahahaha
-Have you prepared?
Kinggyul shouted as if he was spitting out blood.
To survive.
“therefore! Joseon! at last! We will do it! Long live Korean independence!”
-ㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Kya
-ㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋ
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I’m going crazy lol
-Kinggyul’s waist was bent like a bow…
-It was torn apart
-In the middle of Osaka lol
-ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋ
-Today is March 1st. ?
-I tore the wrapping paperㄷㄷ
-Conclusion: Win with spirit.
Like the reaction in the chat, I was not talking about an abstract story about overcoming this with determination and spirit.
Kinggyul believes that there is actually quite a bit of hope for Joseon.
“ah. Select the map now for the final match. ruler. “I think it will start soon.”
It’s map selection.
“yes! Is it coming out now?! This Joseon could be completely advantageous! “Just one chance!”
“Oh, is that a map option?”
“you’re right! “Isn’t this very big in a country like Joseon where the commander’s capabilities are good?”
-ㄹㅇ
-ㅇㅈ
-Let’s go -What
did you prepare
? -Oh
“Overseas public opinion thinks that the map selected for the game is fairly well-balanced, so it may not be very useful?”
“That is also true! still! Didn’t Cookie show us a wit that caught us off guard? What if someone like that could even choose the map!?”
-ㄹㅇ
-Kuberji Degasa
-ㅇㅈㅇㅈ
“I can’t not have expectations!”
The brilliant wit that Cookie has shown so far.
It will definitely appear once in the finals.
Kinggyul is betting on that.
“ruler. You have selected a map. cookie.”
“Where exactly?”
There were signs that Cookie had selected the map, but the map had not been released yet.
“ah. Can’t this be delivered to the broadcaster? It’s not even on the broadcast screen right now, right? “I’ll probably only find out when the game starts.”
It seemed like what the caster said was true.
There was already time for it to be revealed, but the camera only showed the faces of the two commanders.
“ah. Commander Yang’s expression appears now. Viking general commander. Xmaster. “The expression on his face isn’t very good either.”
“yes. A commander who needs to be careful about pronunciation. Xmaster. A situation where your opponent chooses a map can’t be very pleasant, right?”
-TMI kkkk
-Gapbun pronunciation kkkk
-kkkkk
“Ah. I guess so. And from what I hear, this is Viking’s Wek Jessi. This player narrowly missed out by taking second place…”
“That’s right. It is said that she took second place in the best dressed selection. 1st place comes from the Joseon team. “Now you have a choice of maps.”
-Jesi Jwa
-Jesi was good, but ㄲㅂ~
-I really thought I was being robbed of the map selection haha
-I was annoyed that King God Emperor Chungmugong didn’t appear at the end
-But who on earth is that person in Korea?
In the case of the dinner party, although it was through an overseas channel, it was broadcast live through an official account.
There seemed to be quite a few viewers who knew the circumstances of the Best Dressed winner.
“ruler! The moment I tell you! The game begins! Now we know what kind of map it is! I can explain! Let’s go!”
Eventually, the screen turned and the appearance of the camp and map was revealed.
“Joseon will probably not choose maps with a short early rush distance. And in the direction that can be easily pushed in the middle… Ah. It came out. “Huh?”
Kinggyul tilts his head as if something is unclear.
[Rugged Mountain Valley]
“Now. First of all… did Rush choose a truly impossible map in the beginning?”
“Oh yeah! It’s a ‘Rugged Mountain Valley’ map, right? I think I made a good choice. Something seems vague!?”
“It’s good in that the early rush is very, very difficult. But…”
“But?”
“The reason Joseon’s 3rd era was strong wasn’t just because of the archers, right?”
Kinggyul’s concern is that even Joseon’s strength may be buried in this map.
“Joseon’s horse archers are also quite powerful. It’s expensive, but players handle it very well and actually like it. To begin with, the cavalry side isn’t that bad. “What’s special about these Vikings is that they can’t ride horses?”
“ah…!?”
Although Joseon was not a civilization specializing in cavalry, fighting was always relative.
Since the Vikings were a civilization that could not ride horses at all, they would have had a relatively difficult time coping with Joseon’s horseback tactics.
“I can’t ride a horse on this map because it’s all mountains? “Actually, I thought I would choose a map that had a lot of plains, like an ancient castle wall, but only the main base was blocked off.”
“ah. okay? After listening to it, I think it’s better… no, it’s Cooberji. We all have our own ideas! Now you understand! “Kingyul!”
-Kkkkkkkk -Now
you understand! Tangerine burger!
– Hahahaha
– Don’t be suspicious
– But I’m a little worried.
While Caster was giving Kinggyul a warning, the scouting forces of both camps were already expanding their strength and starting to brighten their view.
“ruler. First of all, it’s 7 o’clock in Joseon. Viking 11 o’clock. positioned diagonally from each other. “Because it’s a rugged mountain valley, the speed of reconnaissance is a bit slow, right?”
“yes. In particular, the Viking side seems slower. Apparently, Joseon has a mountain people faction. In this map, Joseon can just move one step faster!”
“iced coffee! “That’s great!”
Mountain people.
It is one of the basic factions of Joseon.
It is a very simple and clear faction that has fast movement speed in mountainous terrain.
Efficiency varies greatly depending on the map, but when the situation is right, it boasts an extreme usage rate.
Of course, Joseon was not the only faction.
“step. Viking. You know? Barbarian warriors? These people have been able to lift axes since the 1st era. “It’s already gone into production, right?”
“Ahhh! It looks like the English shield, doesn’t it? “Is this too scary?”
“This ax! I use this until Age 4! Use it as a throwing axe and just use it when fighting! “Just keep using it!”
-Hahaha
-ㅁㅊ
-ㄹㅇ???
-They fought with axes until the 4th era. -Wow, this
is an extreme civilization.
While Kinggyul was explaining, the Vikings started producing axes one by one and distributing them.
Joseon moved quickly and slowly revealed about half of the map.
“Joseon will probably play stably based on the terrain information they quickly obtained. Until the 3rd era.”
“But there’s no way the Vikings would just leave it like that!? “Even though this is a rugged mountain valley!”
“Yes! That’s where Cookie’s strategy comes in. Normally, when Joseon defends itself, it is defended with defense towers and castle walls led by archers…”
“Is that so?”
“The problem with this map is that there are too many trees! Didn’t I tell you back then that bows are surprisingly disadvantageous in a forest with many trees?!”
“Oh yeah. Yes!”
“Of course that applies here too! concealment! obscuration! There are a lot of places to do it!? There is a very high chance that the arrow will fly and be blocked by a tree! “Melee soldiers have plenty of cover to use when they get up close!”
“Ah… it doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t work… there are various difficulties, right? What is Cookie’s plan? “Did I choose the wrong map!?”
If you listen to this point, it seems as if you chose the wrong map.
This time Kinggyul shook his head.
“still! Isn’t it our Cooberji!? Cookie couldn’t have chosen this place without thinking! She must have a plan!”
-ㄹㅇㅋ
-There will be
-Kinggyul has realized it a bit now;
-There must be something ㅇㅇ
-ㅇㅈ
