Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 169
56. You Go to Valhalla (2)
In the early stages of the game, it is quite easy to enter the opponent’s base.
Except for very special maps, there is no castle built around the main base and there are actually only a few soldiers guarding it.
It’s best to have a defense tower or a few defense towers. If you are careful about such things, it is possible to infiltrate and harass workers, and in fact, such things have happened many times.
However, when you enter the 3rd era, the story changes.
Even infiltrating the main base and killing workers becomes a very difficult mission after the 3rd era.
There are many defense towers around the main base and a castle surrounds it.
A castle can never be breached without siege weapons.
Even if infantry throws torches, there is no damage at all, let alone archers.
That’s why I’d rather aim for multiplayer than main base.
To begin with, around the 3rd era, there are few workers and almost no resources in the main camp. Even more so, what about the 4th era?
In many ways, it would be better to go multiplayer to deal resource damage.
Nevertheless, Almond was heading towards the opponent’s base.
‘come.’
The high castle of the main camp blocks him.
The pressure of the height can be felt just by looking at it.
If you ask someone to climb a ladder to do this, in reality no one will be able to do so easily.
Almond didn’t care and ran in that direction.
Yes, he is Chetam.
It was not safe to say that it had value only if it entered the main camp.
Even though resources are dry at the base, there are all kinds of important research lab buildings.
For Chetam people, it is a place flowing with milk and honey.
Of course, being a Chetam person did not give one the ability to climb up that tall castle like Spider-Man. It was not possible to run towards a solid castle and disappear between the 9 and 3/4 walls like Harry Potter.
As Chetams, their method of infiltration was much simpler and clearer.
Just walk confidently through the castle gate.
Tak─
Almond stood in front of their gate.
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The glottis reacts and moves upward.
Right now, he can only be recognized as an almond in Cookie’s sight…
[Disguise]
[Time Remaining 01:27]
To the enemies, he appears to be one of the Viking warriors.
He has also been transformed into one of the dead. Unless the commander was very careful, he could not be recognized.
If the commander sees you entering the main camp alone, your identity will be revealed right away. The commander was currently concentrating on the middle zone, where the most important battle was taking place.
Pump… plop…
You can almost hear the faint sound of a new weapon exploding from here.
It’s still a long fight.
So, it was Cookie’s deliberate plan for Almond to infiltrate the main base as soon as the battle in the middle ground began.
Of course, Almond did not confidently enter the castle gate knowing the whole reason.
He just did it because he had already been told that he could do it this way.
That is the greatest advantage of a soldier named Almond.
Once the order is received without question, the problem is dealt with thereafter.
Don’t ruin the operation by hesitating because you’re worried that problems will arise.
If you tremble before the arrow hits the target, you cannot hit the target.
Almond has already learned all of these truths in high school, so he steps into the gates very naturally.
thud!
You can hear the gate closing behind you.
He enters the main camp.
‘Here…’
You can see buildings that are clearly different from the architectural style of the Joseon Dynasty.
Perhaps people with this level of architectural technology can no longer be called Vikings, but since the civilizations of Norway and Denmark were incorporated under the name Viking, the Vikings of the 4th Age also boasted quite grandiose architectural skills.
Since there are very few cases where only one civilization exists in one land, it is like a game permission that is inevitably applied.
The same goes for Joseon, which is said to be a single nation.
The 1st and 2nd eras are in the style of the early Three Kingdoms period, and the 3rd era has a Goryeo-early Joseon feel.
‘Where is it?’
The reason Almond focused on the appearance of the building like this was not because he suddenly became interested in aesthetics.
‘The research institute…’
He visits the research institute because he has memorized its appearance in preparation for when he becomes a Chetamin.
‘It’s hard to find it in so many different buildings.’
He was having a ridiculously difficult time finding the building.
‘Under the roof as much as possible.’
He walked as best as he could under the overhanging roof.
Since the commander usually views from above, it moves so that he cannot see it.
The problem is that when you walk like this, your view of the building is limited.
[Time remaining 00:19]
There was not much time left.
Soon the disguise will come off.
I had to kill someone before I found the lab.
Killing one of the opponents resets the disguise’s cooldown.
In other words, the disguise could be used again as soon as it was removed.
‘There’s no one around.’
The problem is that there are no soldiers left here because we are engaged in an all-out war.
‘Even if it’s a worker.’
The worker is a little far away, but you can see it over there.
Some workers are moving around carrying things like hammers and sandbags, as if there is something to build a new building.
Swish—
Almond went to a dark, shaded spot, took a seat, and took out a bow hidden behind his cloak.
He also took out a tongah and a short arrow hidden at his side.
[Time remaining 00:11]
There was not much time left.
Put the baby meat inside the tube and pull it together by attaching it to the string.
Grumble.
With the wild pulling sound of each bow, Almond holds his breath.
‘In one shot.’
The distance was quite far.
This is my first time shooting such a long distance with a bow.
It is also the first time to use Pyeonjeon in real life.
[Time Remaining 00:06]
He quietly holds his breath and waits for one of the workers to properly enter the box.
Trudging. Trudging…
At that time, footsteps were heard nearby.
I can definitely feel the vibration on my knees that are touching the ground.
‘come.’
Someone is coming this way.
Did you notice? Or is it a coincidence?
[Time remaining 00:04]
There is no time.
There was no room to check.
The tip of the arrow shakes for a moment and then settles on one point again.
The torso of a worker.
Make sure to aim for the torso.
Even if you don’t shoot the head, it’s a concentrated, fully charged battle, and Chetamin’s long-distance attack power bonus is of course one hit.
Rather, you will have to worry about what will happen if the people behind you die as well.
[Remaining time 00:02]
Sreuk.
Almond slowly relaxes his right hand and lets go of the demonstration.
[Remaining Time 00:01]
Piyuuung──!
The speed of sound breaks through and the air is torn apart.
[Disguise removed]
Sssssssuk.
The disguise falls apart, revealing the black clothes he was originally wearing.
──Sigh!
In the distance, a worker collapses helplessly.
At the same time, a sound comes from behind.
“there. What are you doing.”
As expected, the sound of footsteps came from this direction.
[Disguise]
Almond turned back and shrugged his shoulders.
“….”
I didn’t say anything.
It will be interpreted, but it’s sure to sound awkward.
The enemy was still far away.
Almond had already turned into another Viking.
Please just pass by.
“…uh? “Did you just get resurrected too?”
But it seems like that guy has turned into someone I know.
“I thought you died a long time ago. Looks like he died again. “What happened to Valhalla?”
He stops in his tracks and speaks for a moment.
When Almond didn’t respond, he thought he was too far away and couldn’t see him, so he approached him.
“what. Can’t you see me!? “I’m Chad.”
There’s so much talk when it’s an urgent all-out war at 1 o’clock.
Almond bit his lip.
‘Is this guy from the same squad?’
The guy keeps coming.
Almond has no choice but to take a different route and disappear.
“uh?”
He seemed to notice something, stopped talking, and hurriedly followed Almond in.
“Who are you, you bastard?”
──Pow!
The moment he turned a corner, an arrow glowing with white light greeted him.
Chetamin’s ranged attack bonus focus headshot.
With the combination of this trinity, even the Vikings of the 4th Age fall down without a hitch.
‘It is resurrected.’
Almond approached him and retrieved his sword.
Ugh…!
The Viking rose again, burning with white light.
“You bastard——”
Huh?
He jumped up with a burning desire for revenge, but there was no Almond in sight.
‘The sword…’
His hand waved in the air in vain.
There is no sword.
The answer came quickly.
──Chaaaaaa!
A strong shock came from behind and the world turned around.
The head was blown off.
As soon as you are revived, your health is not that high, so if you take a hit right away, you will die much easier than you think.
Additionally, you may lose your weapon between respawn times.
The opponent knows exactly what the destruction is.
‘What is this guy?’
It was a perfect assassination of a Viking from the 4th Age, with no flaws whatsoever.
I never thought that I would be defeated without even lifting my hand.
“Ched.”
Is it an answer to a question or a repetition to memorize?
Almond muttered the name Ched against his fallen head and disappeared into another street.
* * *
Since I had plenty of time to disguise myself, it was easy to find the lab.
‘Here it is.’
He walked confidently into the entrance.
Of course, there was no guard installed to block him.
This game is, after all, an RTS where soldiers fight each other in the field.
Because it’s not a stealth action game.
No guards were set up at the research center for Chetamin Hana.
In the first place, it was as if he had already broken through numerous guards.
The laboratory had a very simple structure.
As soon as I entered, golden lights were shining on the luxurious wine-colored wallpaper, and underneath there was a large bookshelf.
Most of the books there are gray.
However, some books were glowing with a faint chromatic light.
‘That’s it.’
Those are technical books whose research has been completed.
‘Here…’
Almond’s eyes, which he had been skimming through, settled on a certain book.
[Valhalla]
He grinned and placed his hand on that side. The
[Seasoning]
skill is activated.
[Do you want to acquire the research ‘Valhalla’?]
[*You can only take one research item.]
What was mentioned in the first place was Valhalla.
Of course the answer was ‘yes’.
Tiring.
[Research ‘Valhalla’ has been acquired.]
Activation was immediate with no delay.
[Please return and share your research results.]
However, this only applies if you return with this research.
[Disguise]
He used the reset skill cooldown again.
He took on the appearance of Ched, whom he had killed earlier.
Now he even knew the name of his disguised target.
It has become much easier to deal with.
* * *
Almond sneaked out of the lab in the form of Ched and found the enemy barracks.
One worker has already died and one soldier has also died.
Going out into enemy territory alone here again is a very noticeable thing.
He plans to join the resurgent Viking warriors in the barracks and return to the Joseon camp.
I vaguely remembered where Chad came from earlier, so I went up in the reverse direction and quickly found the barracks.
“iced coffee. “He’s dead.”
“I was baptized by Pyeonjeon and just died.”
“Ha… But we were last. “You’re winning, right?”
“Because there is even Valhalla. “I will win almost 80% of the time.”
While listening to the words of the dead and resurrected soldiers, Almond turned back and quietly stood in front of the barracks.
‘Let’s join here and naturally go out and separate.’
After waiting for less than 2-3 seconds, they started running somewhere as if they had received an order.
Almond runs after them.
Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The gates were safely opened and the Viking camp was free.
‘after.’
Almond unconsciously breathes a sigh of relief.
‘Let’s go out quietly.’
There should be no fighting as much as possible.
“Chetams are not combatants, but intelligence agents.”
A contradictory class that is best at combat but must be avoided the most.
The back of the Viking’s head, which looks like a target in front of him, flickers, but Almond engraves Cookie’s words into his brain and slowly follows the group.
But—
“Huh?”
“what. “Did I get the wrong ping?”
“…?”
Suddenly all the Vikings around him look at him.
“hey. Ched. They want me to attack you?”
I don’t know why.
The corners of Chad’s mouth slightly turned up.
