Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 194
64. Elephant (2)
Love’s eyebrows furrow.
‘What just happened?’
Didn’t listen to orders.
The order was clearly given, but the soldiers hesitated.
‘What are we going to do?’
I didn’t expect this to be the case.
‘I can’t believe the national team is like this.’
What she is ruminating about is the early rush situation earlier.
Although Joseon ended in failure, there was an angle of conversion seen through the eyes of love.
While the barbarian soldiers pretended to retreat, the Joseon archers could have dug in and inflicted great damage.
However, it was only one almond that moved as intended.
The rest all hesitated to charge and hesitated, but the situation was already over. That brief moment eventually disappeared when Almond took it alone.
Sarang gave other orders to the remaining soldiers to take a detour to the gold mine.
That command was carried out properly.
What is the difference?
Almond is fearless and doesn’t really have any questions?
well. I don’t know.
I can’t figure out what the difference is.
This has never happened in solo queue.
No, even if there is, it doesn’t make a big difference.
Anyway, the enemy is in a similar situation.
But now Persia is different.
We are moving as one.
Anyone can see that they are one team.
‘Tim…’
Her expression became increasingly stiff.
Of course, even if the commander gives an order, it may not work properly.
But the opponent is different.
The opponents are moving as one.
Why aren’t we one?
“If you come, should I go!? “Huh?”
“Hey. It’s space. Hold on. By the way…”
“I’m a dealer too! Fuck! I need to be invested too! I don’t do it because it’s dirty! “You bastard!”
Gulp.
She swallowed old memories with dry saliva.
‘For now… to the 3rd era.’
In the 2nd era, the battle structure has already almost passed.
Joseon had to prepare for the third era.
* * *
Winter in the steppes of Mongolia.
A place where the cold desolation of winter dwells.
The grasslands were almost completely gone, so there were only a few sheep and, of course, not many deer.
It was a map where it was not easy to obtain food through hunting.
Meanwhile, Persia was unable to eat wild boars, which were the most efficient food source.
However, there was a bonus faction for farming.
[Muslim blessings]
Instead of eating meat, blessings come to the land. Farming efficiency becomes better than that of other civilizations.
This was the same not only for Persia but also for other Muslim civilizations.
Just like farming, the farming bonus gained strength over time, making it possible to raise elephants from this barren land.
Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Cooung.
As the vibration of the elephant taking its first step rang out, the cheers of the Persian spectators filled the stadium.
“The elephant defense has now been upgraded. This… I keep telling you about Persia, but upgrading takes a lot of time and is free!?”
“Ah… Is this the level that Joseon can break through with the firepower of the Gakgung!?”
“A new game has to come out.”
If there was a Singijeon, it would be suitable for an elephant, but that is from the 4th era.
Something like that couldn’t have happened in the 3rd era.
“Then what is the substitute?”
“We have to have siege weapons first…”
If it was a siege weapon, it would do proper damage to the elephant.
This is because the elephant defense type is the same as ‘building’.
However, Joseon did not produce siege weapons at all.
In the first place, they did not even build a siege weapon production factory.
“Have you just ruled this out?”
Is this a play that excludes elephants? Caster asked in confusion. Kinggyul shook his head.
That couldn’t have been the case in the Persian War.
“That won’t be it. However, Choi Soon-shin is reading the situation well.”
– Choi Go-sun-shin haha
– Choi Min-soo haha
– Hahaha
– Orbit Sun-sin is ㅇㄷ?
-???: Horizontal coordinate system blah blah blah…
“Are you reading this correctly when an elephant is coming and there are no siege weapons!?”
“If we block the siege weapons without pulling them out… Joseon will have a chance.”
Siege weapons are expensive.
Although it is not as expensive as an elephant, it is an expensive troop anyway.
In particular, when performing related upgrades, gold mines were quickly created.
“Because Joseon is aiming for a rebound. The goal is to increase the number of infantry as much as possible to stop them. That’s right! ah! Yes! We’re turning archers now!? “It’s like this!”
Archers begin to escape from the Joseon main camp.
Now, in a situation where they have to stop the elephant, they instead pull back and attack the enemy camp.
“If you take out so many of the old archers, this is…”
At this point, Caster was embarrassed by the situation where he took the archers out of the main camp and sent them to the enemy, but Kinggyul was excited.
“Shipbuilding! This is without drawing siege weapons! This is why we increased the infantry! This is the winning strategy!? If it continues like this, there will be no answer anyway! “We are secretly withdrawing our troops to keep the enemy in check!”
In Kinggyul’s eyes, this was a winning move.
This was possible because Joseon had a lot of infantry manpower instead of siege weapons.
“I didn’t even hire mounted archers! I haven’t even edited it! Just ding infantry! “In that situation, we will send some infantry back to the enemy camp and tackle elephant production!”
The Joseon commander was now preparing the most cost-effective defense.
Another thing that stands out is the composition of the infantry.
“No, but 30 inspection units were selected!? Aren’t archers better for defense!?”
The ratio of inspection units was the highest among all the Joseon Dynasties I have seen so far.
“Long-range weapons have little effect on elephants, so you have to attack them with inspection units. Instead of siege weapons! I’m going to go! This is it!”
They were all hunting elephants.
-It was a good choice for cost-effectiveness.
-Should we change people again? Haha, graduate school?
-Oh, you’re blocking it by changing people.
-Joseon-style defenseㄷㄷ
-Professor Choi’s form is crazy~
“First of all, I think it’s a good decision! Especially since the archers are now heading towards Persia! Even if they just infiltrate well and kill the farming workforce! Because elephant production will be disrupted!?”
There are many ways to stop elephants.
It was most efficient to cut off food sources.
“Even if we can stop up to five elephants advancing now, we may not be able to stop them if more elephants are added. “It could be a good strategy.”
“ah. Joseon But don’t you know there are five elephants?!”
The problem is that this is an operation carried out under the premise of stopping the five elephants.
“Elipher is so good at using its resources that it would be hard to imagine even four or five.”
It was like that. In fact, it was difficult to predict that Joseon would have had five elephants.
* * *
On the walls of Joseon’s main camp.
There were numerous archers stationed there.
Almonds were one of them.
It was organized as a defensive team, not an offensive team.
Other first-line archers, who could be considered Almond’s colleagues, were all nearby.
This meant that the commander actually considered defense to be more important.
In other words, the Joseon army currently attacking was intended to disrupt elephant production, not to truly suffocate the enemy.
In the end, the battle site will be the Joseon headquarters.
“If we just block here, we’ll win.”
Carrot muttered as he looked into the distance beyond the castle wall.
Kugugugugugung…!
I could feel the earth shaking as if it was responding to those words.
Afterwards, gray clouds rose on the wide horizon that Mongolia’s grasslands boast.
“come.”
Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
With a beating sound like a large battleship departing, the elephant’s huge body rose over the hill.
Its size is overwhelming even when viewed from this distance.
The alien giant animal, which seemed to have made a mistake when God determined its size, had none other than a human riding on its back.
The arrowheads of the humans riding on its back were aimed at the Joseon archers.
The elephant’s huge tusks faced the walls of Joseon.
Coooooo!
Coo!
My heart pounded every time the elephant’s huge footprints fell on the grassland.
“Waaaaaa!!”
A shout rang out.
Is it from the enemies or from the Persian audience?
There was no distinction.
“It’s coming!”
Panga raises his hand.
gulp.
Almond swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
“Ready to shoot!!!”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Even the menacing cry of the horned palace sounds shabby today.
Pooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
With the elephant’s roar, the ivory rose tall like a tower.
At the same time, perhaps because he was very excited, his walking accelerated and became faster.
thud!
Coo!
The elephant in the eyes of the Joseon military becomes increasingly larger.
“Phew…”
My breath becomes shallow due to tension, and the white light at the tip of the arrow burns brightly.
It’s coming soon.
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..
Fang’er’s eyes flashed.
“──Basaaaaa!!”
Paaaaaaaa!
The Joseon military held a demonstration in unison according to orders.
Pure white arrows rush like a waterfall.
Those riding on elephants raise their shields.
Burbubbubbuk!
Those who were unable to cover themselves with a shield, or those whose arrows unluckily fell through the shield, fall from the top of the elephant.
There were also cases where colleagues pushed and threw already dead bodies.
Nevertheless, the elephant continued to run forward.
Now, the range of the Persian bow is within reach.
“Shield girl!”
Cheok!
Following the orders of assistant commander Sikbang, soldiers holding shields run in front of the archers and raise their shields.
Almost at the same time, the Persian archers’ arrows hit the Ussusu tree.
Pow…!
One shield was even broken.
It was because of their firing rate.
“Because there are a lot of numbers. It’s really no joke. “Guys like minnows.”
Panga hides behind the shield and mutters before raising his hand again.
“Pull it again!!”
This means pulling the concentrated faction in advance.
“Properly target those on the elephant!”
“yes!”
Now the elephant is about to reach the castle wall.
“Shoot!”
Swish.
Panga reveals himself above the shield and fires his bow again.
Almond also shot the guy on the elephant, aiming for as much of an opportunity as possible.
Pow!
Some soldiers on the elephant fall again.
It was more effective than before.
But the joy was short-lived.
“Put it on the bar!”
The tusks of the leading elephant hit the castle wall.
Kuung──!
The whole world is shaking.
The Joseon army cannot maintain its balance and falls like a mollusk.
It felt like I was riding on the waves, not on the castle wall.
“Wake up!”
“It’s right below! Shoot!”
They were so close that the texture of the elephant’s scalp was visible.
Surprisingly, the elephant’s back was slightly lower than the height of the castle wall.
It is that huge.
Persian archers riding on elephants penetrate the castle walls with agile movements.
Elephants can even serve as siege trucks.
“Shoot!”
“It came up!”
“Dig in!”
Both sides immediately pulled their bowstrings toward each other.
Piyuung!
Piyung!
“Keuuk!”
“evil!”
“It came up here too! “It’s up!”
Dozens of Joseon soldiers fell in an instant.
From now on, it was no longer time to fight according to orders.
‘Not here.’
Many Persian troops had already crossed over the walls of the western gate.
I had to step back and shoot.
Almond picked up one of the dead shieldmen’s shields.
And then he suddenly jumped.
Pow!
Plop!
His shield was hit with numerous arrows, but it did not hinder his movement.
thud.
After he lowered his shield.
I pulled the bowstring again.
Grr.
Aiming didn’t take long.
He soon quietly left the protest.
The arrow, which was concentrated for about a second, flew straight and pierced the head of a Persian soldier on the castle wall.
Pow!
“excuse me! “It’s over there too—”
By the time his head was pierced, Almond had already shot another arrow.
──Whoa!
The witness fell to the ground and became a target for countless infantrymen.
Numerous soldiers ran past Almond, stepping on the corpses.
“Kill me!”
“Aaaah!! “Reinforcements!”
“Inspectors!”
They are Joseon’s reinforcements. The inspectors were on the other side of the wall and came running.
At this time, Joseon reoccupied the walls.
But—
“Huh…?!”
──Kwagwagwagwaang!
The castle walls are collapsing.
All the soldiers on top of him also disappeared from Almond’s sight in an instant.
Everything disappeared as if it had never been there from the beginning.
Instead, the gap was completely filled with black-gray dust.
And what appeared was a shining white ivory.
Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The wall of the western gate collapsed. It was pierced through ivory.
Coo!
As the dust clears, a gray giant casts a shadow.
He takes his first big step toward the Joseon Dynasty.
Coooooo!
The ruined west gate is crushed by being stepped on.
‘It collapsed…’
Even Almond was lost in the sight and left his mouth open in a daze.
There have definitely been some tough times. Especially in scrims, there have been countless times when Joseon’s main base has been breached.
But I have never felt such a sure and overwhelming sense of destruction.
It felt like we were fighting not a person, but a huge mountain.
‘This is…’
Almond was convinced as he drew his bow again.
‘I have to do something.’
If you fail to do something here and continue like this, you will definitely lose.
Not just this game, but the next one as well.
Teeing.
At that time, an order is given to him.
[Using a melee weapon]
Ping marks were made on the numerous knives that fell on the castle wall.
[Attack]
Next, an attack command is given.
Peeing!
The place where the command was given was apparently on the elephant’s back.
Are you telling me to kill the archers on my back?
It wasn’t.
In that case, a bow would be enough.
[Elephant Hunting]
The order was to kill the elephants, including them.
