Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 151
51. Indoctrination Training (1)
Peeing!
[Move]
The command given was simple.
Anyway, go to that area.
It is certainly strange that an order was given to go to that area even in this situation where the Vikings were encountered.
However, none of the Joseon soldiers delayed.
The same goes for almonds.
Sasasasak…!
He took the lead and advanced through the dense bushes.
‘Near.’
His keen senses were clearly telling.
Besides the 20 of us, there were more enemies coming around.
Usually, Panga would give signs for this, but this time he was the leader.
Almond signaled by raising his index finger and spinning it around.
It means that enemies are approaching nearby.
Whilick.
Fingers turning one more time.
This means that enemies are surrounding you on all sides or at a density close to it.
In the midst of the confusing travel route of the mountain road full of bushes, the soldiers were only moving forward looking at Almond’s back, so they all accepted the signal.
Is that why? When Almond changed his hand signal by extending all his fingers, everyone moved quickly and took a guard formation.
The procession, which had been moving in a straight line, spread out in the shape of a diamond, creating a four-state border.
Of course, the speed was slower than when running in a row.
For almonds, I decided to stick with this form.
This wasn’t his judgment, it was a manual that had already been discussed with Cookie.
It was important to move quickly, but it was even more important for all 20 people to go.
’20 people take their places near the valley.’
Almond took one step at a time, repeating the essence of this operation to himself.
Sssssssseu!
As the speed on this side slowed down, the sounds coming from the other side became clearly distinguishable.
That person was running like crazy without paying any attention to our situation.
‘Let’s run.’
Swish.
He waved his hand again and pointed to the destination.
Now that the ranks have been sorted out, it’s time to run again. When
the [Mountain People]
faction is activated, their speed noticeably increases.
Ride, ride!
Archers run so fast that it can hardly be considered as running in the mountains.
However, there was also a faction that allowed Vikings to move faster when moving towards the enemy, and the movement speed of melee soldiers was initially set to be faster.
Paang!
The sound of an arrow being fired rang out from the right rear.
‘already?’
puck!
I heard the sound of an arrow shattering a young tree.
The Viking soldier was not hit.
“Hwaaaah!”
“There it is! Run!”
“Hooooooooo!!!”
The cries of Vikings echoed from all directions.
‘I’m screaming on purpose.’
They were making noise so that no one could tell where they were approaching.
It definitely worked.
The voices echoed and I couldn’t focus on the footsteps.
“Yoooooooooo!!”
As their sounds gradually filled my ears, my senses became mixed and confused.
The bushes blocked my view, and the sounds came and went with echoes, so I couldn’t hear them properly, and all I could feel were the branches that got in the way.
Almond had a hunch.
Trying to live here can be greedy.
Obviously, given the priority Cookie gave him, it is true that more people should reach the destination rather than arriving quickly.
The top priority is to get there once you get there.
At this rate, we were completely surrounded and could not even arrive.
‘run.’
Almond motioned to the rear ranks and began to increase his running speed.
The diamond formation that was on guard for four weeks became longer and longer.
The diamonds became longer and longer and became a line.
Ride, ride, ride!
The sound of running footsteps echoed in the forest, whether they were the footsteps of Joseon soldiers or Vikings.
The Joseon soldiers ran forward, looking only at the black dirt and green bushes.
But—
Faaah!
At one point, Vikings came out from all over the bush.
──Puck!
A Joseon soldier is struck by an axe.
A soldier falling away as if a child had been hit by a car.
“Shit!”
“One person was hit!”
“Shoot!”
Other Joseon soldiers responded by shooting arrows.
Paang! phut!
But it had no particular effect. They didn’t even think about their bodies and only covered their heads with shields.
Teuong!
chin…!
Only the dull sound of the blow rang out, and none of the Vikings died, except for their shields, which had thorns like hedgehogs.
“Don’t shoot!”
Carrot’s voice rang out.
“If you shoot, it will be delayed! You can’t win if you shoot like this anyway! “Just run!”
She was right.
I just had to run.
“If you run like crazy, we’ll be faster!”
The reason archers counterattack is because archers are usually slower than close-range soldiers.
Not here. Joseon soldiers move much faster than other soldiers in the mountains.
So you have to run.
The notice was not far away.
The counterattack will start from there.

“Are you really going to choose this map?”
During the meeting about map options, Chiseung asked the most puzzled question.
“okay.”
This is because the map Heechul chose was not convincing at first glance, even by the think tank team’s standards.
It is good for preventing early Viking raids, but it is difficult to use with a bow and cavalry cannot be used.
“Isn’t the ancient wall better?”
In ancient castles, walls were provided as standard to protect the area, and there was nothing bad about using archers.
“no. You can’t defeat the Vikings simply by blocking their base. Until now, many civilizations have attempted such an attempt. “Have there been many instances where it actually worked?”
Chiseung could not help but shake his head at Cookie’s words.
Now that I think about it, it was like that.
‘That’s right… Of course, all civilizations know this basic theory. Nevertheless, the Vikings came out on top of the group.’
If it had become easier to deal with the Vikings just by preventing them from infiltrating the main base in the beginning, the Vikings would not have had to face Joseon in the finals.
“The Vikings are very good at suppressing opponents in the early stages. “Especially in terms of food.”
Not all Vikings are the same.
Depending on how a person plays, his/her personality could be completely different.
“When the enemy shows signs of trying to block the early game, this Viking immediately goes into food control for the entire map and rolls the snowball very quickly.”
“…Yes.”
This Viking team showed great technological prowess in controlling food resources, the core of the Viking civilization.
In the preliminaries, there were even matches where the enemy was not allowed to have even a single prey.
“Especially because the ancient walls are desert terrain, so there is little food. “For Vikings, it’s easier to control.”
“ah.”
It was like that.
If the Vikings begin to control food based on the strength of the 1st era on the ancient castle walls, Joseon may not be able to eat anything since there is already no game.
It was only then that I found out.
“ah. So here you are?!”
Rugged mountain valley.
Because it is a mountainous terrain, this map has a lot of mountain animals.
It was a map rich in food.
So even if the Vikings try to monopolize food resources, it won’t be easy.
In the beginning, it is difficult to invade and control food.
Is this considerable?
Even though Chiseung was thinking like that, he soon began to see a blind spot.
“uh? Even so, it means that the Vikings have to eat only what they spill…”
No matter how many wild animals there are on the map, the Vikings will still take much more.
“But it is difficult to spread farmland in the mountainous terrain here.”
It costs more to farm in mountainous terrain. In the beginning, your belly button will be bigger than your stomach.
“hmm. We don’t farm. “I will go hunting the same way.”
“And what if you run into Vikings? Even archers can’t use their strength in a place like this…”
Another biggest drawback of this map.
The problem was that archers became useless because of the dense trees.
For Joseon, where the bow was the best means of attack, this was a fatal flaw.
“I’m going to use archers.”
“…?”
But Cookie says he uses archers.
How?
“It’s technology.”
“Technical skills?”
“The Vikings too. “We offset the shortcomings of civilization with our technological prowess in squeezing out opponents who blocked us in the early stages.”
“…So you’re saying you’re improving your skills?”
no. By that logic, wouldn’t the Korean team be able to win the World Cup?
Shouldn’t I improve my soccer skills?
Of course, what Cookie was talking about wasn’t such a comprehensive skill.
This means that you will learn something that can truly be called a ‘skill’.
“ah. In the end, I guess that’s the case. I’m talking about a specific skill. “Chiseung.”
Afterwards, Cookie showed a scene to the think tank members.
What appeared on the screen was an almond.
This is the scene where he catches Tres on a horse.
“…!”
Everyone at the think tank was shocked.
The scene where Almond catches Tres is already familiar as it is still widely circulated on the Internet.
‘Let’s learn that?’
The technology used there.
He was shocked by Cookie’s insistence on learning that skill.
“Curve shot. “If you have this, you can hit an arrow even if there are obstacles.”
Even in Persia, which can be seen as the origin of that technology, there are only a few soldiers who can freely use that technology.
The situation is even worse in Joseon.
The only person who knows how to do that technique is Almond.
So this question is bound to come up.
“How on earth?”
“There is a way.”
At that time, the cookie pointed somewhere on the map as if it had been waiting.
chin.
‘Valley…?’
A valley passing through a dense forest.
What’s going on here?
The next moment, Chi-seung’s eyes widen at what Cookie said.
“!”
I now know for sure why it is this map.
* * *
After a while, a dense forest with a valley flowing through it.
The archers gathered in groups of twos and threes.
They were all looking at one place.
It’s almonds.
“here.”
Almond says, pointing somewhere on the bow.
About 1/3 of the bow string.
“If you hang the bow string out of balance instead of in the center…”
Piyung.
The arrow he lightly shot passed around the tree in front of him and accurately hit the target behind him.
“This is it. “The method is easy.”
Almond shrugs and concludes the demonstration.
Clap clap clap.
The archers sitting in front of him clapped and shouted one word at a time.
“and.”
“It’s crazy.”
“The bar method is easy, right? Haha….”
As he said, the method itself was not difficult. To borrow a carrot analogy, this was like a computer job.
The binary method used by computers to calculate with 0 and 1 is simple and primitive.
However, no human can calculate faster than a computer.
There is no human being who can apply that simple thing to any situation and process it infinitely quickly.
The same goes for curve shots.
The problem was not how to shoot, but how accurate it was to hit the opponent with this weapon.
“But how can I learn this to the point where I can use it in real life before the finals? “It’s a bit too much…”
The archers were all dumbfounded.
Cookie had a special plan.
“Memorize it.”
He commanded simply.
“Everyone, take your positions and memorize the curves for the cover you can shoot from from this position.”
His solution was a rote curve shot.
It will take a lot of training to be able to use a curve shot in any situation.
It is different within a specific situation.
It’s like a math problem. If you memorize certain formulas, you can solve certain problems very quickly.
Even if you change the problem even a little, it becomes unsolvable.
So, if the terrain changes, it is of no use.
Civil M’s maps only maintain the concept, but the terrain details always change.
However –
“It is not a well-known fact, but some maps in Civil M have areas that do not change in order to maintain the concept.”
“!”
Then everyone realized.
Even though they practiced several times, this area never changed.
“That is the valley that flows in the middle of the rugged mountain valley here.”
* * *
“Ugh… wow… it’s here!”
After a breathless run, the Joseon soldiers finally reached the valley.
The valley I had seen so many times.
Almond shouts, gesturing.
“To your respective positions!!”
With these words, several rays of light fell from the sky in succession.
Peeing!
ping!
[1]
[2]
[3]
[4]
.
.
.
Specific locations around the valley begin to be assigned numbers.
A rare and highly detailed battle order.
This meant that this battle was important.
“To location!”
Each archer repeated the song and moved with his or her number.
The archers moved to their respective positions and pulled their bowstrings towards the Vikings.
Giririk!
When the Vikings see the bow, they move behind cover and approach.
“atmosphere…!”
White light slowly blooms from the tautly pulled arrow.
[Concentration]
At this time, light falls from the sky once more.
Cheeeeeeeek…!
The light began to draw a long line on the ground. It was a curve. The curve soon became a circle and closed, and it continued to repeat itself in large and small sizes.
Before I knew it, circles like targets were being drawn in layers.
As if each soldier created ripples in a calm lake.
The identity of these circles and their uses were quickly apparent.
From this time on, Joseon’s archers began to use bowstrings.
“Shoot!!”
Pababababang!
Numerous white-flaming arrows flew, charting their own paths.
