Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 168
56. You Go to Valhalla (1)
Before the battle in the central zone begins.
Almond looked at the large letters that appeared in the center of his vision.
[Infiltration]
Almond looked back on his memories.
When Chetamin was practiced, only Almond and three other people were trained.
When Cookie gathered them together and explained about the Chetam people, he said this.
“The Chetam people are not actually combatants. It is a special class that minimizes combat and executes orders to achieve strategic victory in war. So it will be different from the training methods we have had so far.”
Almond himself thought that it was probably not a coincidence that he glared at Almond while telling him to minimize fighting.
Because Almond’s style of play is a bit too aggressive to be Chetamin.
Of course, Almond himself thought that it was not belligerence, but just efficiency.
Nevertheless, he listened to Cookie’s words during the practice process and embodied Chetamin’s special effects and skills.
The three carrot tomahawks selected along with the almonds also successfully completed this training.
These people were all talented people who were as resourceful as carrots.
‘In the end, I was chosen.’
In the actual battle, it was Almond who was ultimately chosen.
[Gabbowman → Chetamin]
As the class changed, his clothes also turned black.
A black hat was placed on his head, his top was short, and his bottoms were wide black pants. And as for outerwear, as expected, a black robe was wrapped around it like an agent’s coat.
Attached to his waist were the shuriken and quiver of arrows used by the Chetam people, and a horn bow tied to his back.
The shoes were simple, similar in shape to rubber shoes, and made no sound at all when walking.
This unusual outfit is probably unique to Almond in all of Joseon. Because he is currently the only Chetam person.
Because it costs a considerable amount of money to switch classes, Chettams rarely choose more than one.
It’s still the same now.
The only one chosen was Almond.
Almond stares at the letters floating in the air again.
[Infiltration]
So, currently, Almond is the only one who can complete this mission.
It was something that could not be passed on to anyone else.
Still, there are people who can help.
“depart. “Get in the back.”
Coffee approaches and points behind his horse.
“We are infiltrating the enemy camp, but some of the Vikings are probably returning to our base as well. It always happens when there’s a big fight. “There is a chance we will run into each other.”
This means that if you encounter a Viking while taking the infiltration route, it will be very difficult, so an assistant commander will accompany you.
At a time like this, one assistant commander is a tremendous force in many ways.
Almond’s task was so heavy that he gave up on putting this on site.
“I will use my falcon attack to secure a safe route. “I stacked two falcons.”
The assistant commander leads the way, lighting the way, and Almond follows a safe route to infiltrate the enemy lines.
“Get as close to the enemy lines as possible and use a disguise. Because there is a time limit. “I’ll tell you the location at the edge of my field of vision.”
“okay.”
After hearing Almond’s answer, Coffee rode the horse.
“Hiya!”
The horse began to gallop along the path at a rapid pace.
Shut up! Shut up!
This path was drawn by Cookie.
But you can’t absolutely trust it. Cookie will hardly see this side now as he prepares for the final battle.
Coffee had to take the place of cookies.
Shut up! Shut up!
Coffee thought, listening to the sound of horses’ hooves.
‘That’s what I said, but in the end, I dragged it out until the 4th era because of this guy.’
Coffee has a rough guess as to why Joseon was drawn to the Fourth Age.
You probably can’t imagine the bread being off-putting, but the coffee was predictable.
‘It’s because of that guy riding behind me.’
Cookie changed the era because of one almond.
This guy in the back is definitely a crack at our game. Even Coffee fully acknowledged that.
His physique and fighting sense are so strong that it’s hard to believe they’re the same age.
He had certainly seen it several times.
‘Cookie’s methods are so…’
He just doesn’t understand Cookie’s methods. This is a method of keeping a considerable distance considering the public opinion of the members.
To Coffee, the method of achieving harmony sounded like a lack of trust in the members.
It’s just that he doesn’t speak highly of Almond directly, but Cookie’s true intentions are already visible through this strategy.
‘Why can’t I speak?’
A familiar voice passed through Coffee’s mind.
“Why can’t you speak? It’s not that I don’t have confidence. You don’t trust us after all. That’s why I can’t speak. “I’m not going to drag you down, idiot.”
A voice that passed by as quickly and cheerfully as the scenery passing by while riding a horse and disappeared.
‘Well, I’m the same way.’
He reflects for a moment and then shakes it out of his head again.
What is important now is not these idle thoughts.
What’s important now is….
“If you get along, next time you’ll win.”
It’s the team’s victory.
Coffee’s eyes glowed fiercely.
He put his finger in his mouth and blew loudly.
Hwiiiiiii──
[Flying a falcon]
The sight becomes bright with the sound of a whistle.
The location revealed by the falconry is marked on the minimap by Coffee, even if Cookie does not confirm it. Because he is an assistant commander.
And she’s probably seeing this signal too.
‘I guess the battle is about to start.’
Pubububung…!
The sound of Singijeon’s explosion echoes from afar.
Fireworks are unfolding in the sky.
“Hiriya!”
Coffee spurred his horse once more and ran.
* * *
Almond took deep breaths while sitting on the back of his coffee.
‘Maybe we can fight one more time.’
Since I had gotten used to the dedicated capsule, I had forgotten this feeling.
As the battle was repeated, his condition deteriorated significantly.
I remember the Lille Nant match.
There was a time when I showed off one-handed play.
This was possible because there were incarnations that did not need to use their right hand often.
Above all, the people I faced were all amateur level.
But it was different here.
‘It’s all sincere.’
A game where everyone lights up their eyes and tries to win.
And since it is now the finals, most of the opponents are professionals.
The subtle pressure that I felt only when I first faced former professional pickled radish and challenger black tea is very thick and prevalent here.
‘are you okay.’
Almond repeated to himself.
‘I’m different from back then too.’
It’s not just the enemies’ skills that have changed.
Almonds are also different from back then.
He can now fight individually or as a team.
I now know to some extent what it means to fight as a team.
It’s definitely grown more than before.
“this. Mr….”
At that moment, Coffee curses in front of me.
I hit the hawk one more time earlier. Did you discover something?
“We meet. There is no escape. “I think these kids are conscious of Chetam people.”
“…!?”
Are you preparing for Chetamin?
I knew Chetamin was a strategy that wasn’t used often.
“I can’t believe I’m preparing for this.”
“This is the professional level. The biggest variable among the four eras of Joseon was the Chetam people. So, prepare at least a little bit. “This distribution of thoughts happens like breathing.”
Even if I don’t use it well, I’m always prepared.
Because it is a real risk.
The enemy commander is that kind of person.
“Knowing that there were no horse archers and that they used pyeonjeon, they probably expected Chetam people. So we are taking precautions now.”
“which?”
The best way to prepare for Chetamins, who are good at disguise and escape infiltration, is to block them in advance.
“I’m trying to discover it in advance. “On our street.”
The Vikings occupy a corner of the road and are slowly approaching the Joseon main camp.
This is partly to keep the Joseon workers in check, but there is also something they are looking for when looking at the arrangement and speed.
That would be Chetamin.
“Can not help it. Anyway, there’s no point in flying anymore…”
Coffee made a decision.
He tied the bow that was hanging on one side of his horse and said goodbye to Almond.
“We’re almost there. From here, take the forest and go as far as you can. It’s northwest. Because I will attract attention. hurry!”
In this situation, attracting attention means dying.
If the assistant commander dies, he or she is completely out.
“what? “He’s an assistant commander… wouldn’t it be better to fight together?”
“no. “You can’t fight now.”
Coffee snatched Almond’s hat and pushed him away.
chin!
“!?”
“From now on, I am a Chetam person.”
With those words, Coffee put on his hat, rode his horse, and quickly disappeared towards the front.
Almond, who had fallen from his horse, still had an order in his sights.
[Infiltration]
“….”
He quickly got up again and looked at the forest that Coffee had pointed to.
Cheeeeeeeek….
A blue road is drawn.
Coffee is drawing a path toward the forest.
* * *
“Huh… Huh….”
Almond ran desperately with the bow strapped to his back.
‘We have to go quickly.’
As soon as our allies notice that there are no mounted archers, the battle has already properly begun.
I don’t know if it was because of Coffee’s sacrifice or what, but there was no sign of the Vikings and Almond was able to continue running along the road.
‘Is this place?’
The path drawn by coffee is broken.
And the enemy’s castle can be seen far ahead. It is the enemy’s headquarters.
Almond looked back and forth at the castle and the broken road that Coffee had drawn.
‘It’s vague.’
He said that Coffee would show him where to disguise himself.
But is this the point where the road is cut off?
Or did it stop while drawing?
‘It seems like it’s farther than I thought.’
The distance to the castle is quite far.
The time for disguise is limited.
The cooldown is quite long unless you kill someone.
It was advantageous to get as close as possible and disguise yourself without the enemy seeing you.
But Almond has no way of knowing that point.
You either had to see it from above and draw it accurately, or you had to have someone with an almost absolute sense of distance like Panga next to you.
I’m worried.
‘Go further and disguise yourself?’
Almond finished his decision quickly.
‘no. If that happens, it’s over.’
I cannot currently take the risk of being discovered and disguised by the enemy.
And Joseon was in a hurry right now.
[Disguise]
Ssssseu….
Almond began to transform into the appearance of one of the Viking warriors in front of the line drawn by Coffee.
* * *
Chetamin.
He freely rides all vehicles and is skilled in using long-range weapons.
They also wear a black hat with a wide brim.
This is the Chetam people that the Vikings knew.
I didn’t practice separately considering I would go up to Age 4, so I wasn’t able to receive it accurately.
But this is more than enough.
So they thought.
Sure enough, it caught me as expected.
A guy riding a horse and wearing a black hat.
There is also a bow hanging behind it.
“It’s him!”
One of the Vikings shouts “whale whale”.
“Catch it!”
“That bastard is Chetam!”
The Vikings, with their eyes wildly wide, rush in.
The face beneath the black hat is smiling slightly.
‘good.’
Coffee changed the direction of the horse and spurred it hard.
He even took out a bow and turned around to shoot.
Paang!
While it is clear that there is currently no mounted archer faction, the only ones who can shoot arrows from horseback are Chetamin and assistant commanders.
So they are convinced.
“It is certainly! “It’s him!”
Huh!
The person in the lead throws the ax and strikes away the arrow.
Coffee’s goal was to make them follow anyway, so he didn’t really care if he got hit by an arrow and kept running.
Meanwhile─
‘Huh?’
Suddenly the Vikings stop pursuing.
‘…what.’
It got quiet for a while and I looked back and realized that the Vikings were shouting like this?
“That guy is not Chetam! “I’ve infiltrated the main base!”
“Then what about us?”
“Let’s just go to the Joseon headquarters!”
Coffee’s eyes widened.
‘Did you get caught?’
Something is going wrong.
He thought for a moment.
‘Here…’
If I tried to lure them here again, I could have died.
When an assistant commander dies, it ends as is.
You are out of the game.
Coffee closes his eyes for a moment.
‘Can I…?’
Stop those Vikings single-handedly.
Is it possible?
How long can I last?
‘Will the game be okay even if I, the assistant commander, die…?’
Can Almonds Do It?
Maybe it has already failed?
I feel dizzy.
Assistant commanders must be careful about when to die.
It’s better to die if you can win the game by dying.
I think that’s rarely the case with coffee.
Or, even if there is, they think they won’t be able to judge for sure.
So, it is definitely better to buy an assistant commander. This is his theory. Because the role of the assistant commander is more important than you can imagine.
But one word passes through my mind again.
“It’s not that I don’t have confidence. In the end, you don’t trust us.”
Is that so?
He mumbles and opens his closed eyes.
And pull the horse’s reins.
Hehehe…!
The horse started running again in the opposite direction.
Coffee shouted.
Toward the Vikings returning to their base.
“Yaaah! Where are you going? Let’s go together!”
Sreung!
He took out his sword.
