Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 224
74. Woo Won-ah (1)
The sky of the battlefield.
Ringo, the Japanese commander, is floating above him. He was waving his hands all over the place.
The formation is changed here and there.
However, I bite my lip as if it doesn’t work out as I want.
‘It’s not easy. Young blood after all.’
Ringo is quite young among the commanders, so he rarely loses in these so-called ‘hand fights’.
The other person’s reaction now feels like encountering a living army.
Just as a school of small fish in the sea gathers and disperses instantly as if they were one giant living thing.
This is what Joseon looks like now.
‘Obviously… it wasn’t to this extent.’
It didn’t feel like this when I faced Cookie in a scrimmage.
‘eww.’
Ringo’s eyes – I can’t tell where he is looking from the outside, but probably – are drawn towards his base.
His fingers move back and forth to control several workers.
This is because while fighting these formations, the progress of the 3rd era should not be slowed down at the same time.
‘As a result of the analysis, the opponent never fell behind in the business of the times.’
Ringo has analyzed Choi Soon-shin quite a bit.
Deep down, he was expecting that she would definitely appear again.
However, I didn’t know it would appear from the beginning.
‘I’m not feeling well yet.’
With the belief that he could never fall further behind in the modern industry, he gritted his teeth and controlled both the production part and the battlefield at the same time.
There were numerous changes in formation between the two forces in order to use the space to their maximum advantage.
Faaah!
Ringo’s eyes brightened.
‘Now is the time.’
And finally─
[Attack]
──Teeing!
An attack order was given to all swordsmen.
* * *
The swordsmen start running.
“Turn around!”
Assistant commander Yamato draws his sword from his horse.
Sreung!
“The enemy is cornered!”
It was as he said. The Joseon archers are gathered in a circle with their backs to each other, and the Japanese swordsmen are spread out and surrounding them, so it is appropriate to say that they are cornered.
Moreover, all the trees and rocks in this dense forest are on their side.
Because archers cannot use their strength properly in this type of terrain.
However, this is assuming that you cannot use curve shots properly.
‘He showed a reversal with a curve shot in the game against Viking… but we know that.’
As Yamato rode his horse, he remembered the video of Joseon’s game.
The think tank and the Japanese command decided this way.
‘It’s a curve shot that was only possible in that location.’
Joseon made a very clever move in selecting maps.
From Japan’s perspective, it was only after replaying the scrimmage with that map several times that they could find out.
‘I never would have guessed that the map was chosen considering that the location would not change.’
The drive and courage to burn through map options like that and ultimately succeed.
Cookie is a truly crazy person.
‘But the cookies aren’t here.’
He commanded the swordsmen with that thought in mind.
“Take cover behind a tree and approach!”
Shut up! Shut up!
He mounted his horse and made a wide circle, following the encirclement.
I plan to command the swordsmen, but I plan to do this and see an opportunity to attack.
Kiririk.
As one of the swordsmen enters the range, one of the Joseon archers joins him.
‘Aren’t you targeting this direction?’
He wasn’t looking towards Yamato at all.
Not only that, but the other archers weren’t looking at him either.
‘I guess I can go in and interfere.’
It’s no mark.
Yamato decided so and pushed the horse forward.
“Hiya!”
If we go in here and shake up the formation, this battle was 100% a Japanese victory.
But—
‘Huh?’
That guy is pulling the bowstring in the lead right now.
He looks familiar.
Only then did he check the other person’s face.
‘Amond!’
That bastard who made fun of his mouth in an interview.
But that bastard was amazing at shooting a bow.
The only kid who knows how to freely shoot curve shots!
The command’s judgment was as follows.
‘Don’t get involved with him.’
It won’t work if you get excited by playing with that guy.
Yamato clearly knew that and had no intention of being dragged around by him.
‘It’s a good angle.’
It was a temptation Yamato could not resist.
How dare you give up such a clear angle of attack. I can’t believe I can kill Almond, who reduced the height of the entire nation by more than 10 cm!
Maybe that’s why I never thought about it.
Why did the enemy’s ace give up such a good angle so easily?
‘uh?’
* * *
A few minutes ago.
Joseon’s archers were confused.
“Is this place under siege?”
“Did I lose out in the battle for Jinhyung’s wits!?”
The more the formation changed, the more it became Japan’s preferred strategy of encirclement and capture.
Carrot muttered quietly in admiration.
“It’s moving too flexibly…”
The more the formation moved, the more difficult it became to escape, like an insect caught in a spider’s web.
It seemed like they were only given one choice: withdraw completely from the lake or be surrounded and fight.
In fact, this was the difference between the presence and absence of an auxiliary commander.
Just as the Joseon auxiliary commanders have ‘falcon flying’, the Japanese auxiliary commanders also have a faction regarding vision.
[Sensitive Sense]
This is a skill that allows you to visually detect vibrations from footsteps for a certain period of time.
It was applied in a straight line and was able to see quite far away.
Of course, this information is also displayed to the commander.
While using this skill, Japanese commanders have no choice but to act with more information than Joseon.
“Don’t we have an assistant commander coming?”
Carrot muttered, chewing his lip nervously.
As the importance of the battle is so important, it is likely that it will come. First of all, it hasn’t arrived yet.
Then the enemies appeared.
“come!”
All the archers flinch at her shout.
Everyone tried to pull the bowstring, but stopped.
“for a moment. There is no order yet…”
No order was given.
Joseon’s first step is very important. Because it is an arrow containing 3 seconds of concentration.
Therefore, do not shoot without a commander’s order or leader’s order.
“atmosphere.”
Almond, the leader, calmly gives instructions.
The tension flowing through the space was unavoidable.
thud. thud. thud.
I couldn’t tell if it was the sound of my heart or the enemy’s footsteps.
Everyone can’t even blink as they watch the forest where the swordsmen are approaching.
The swordsmen slowed down and slowly moved from tree to tree as they approached.
An assistant commander on horseback was also seen.
“It’s not within the intersection?”
One of the archers exclaimed nervously, but Almond’s answer was the same.
“wait!”
The order was still there.
“Wait….”
I had to wait.
There is a reason. certainly.
At that time, an order was given to Almond.
[Aim without looking]
‘Don’t look…? aiming?’
Almond was a little embarrassed when this command came.
No matter how much he does it without thinking, I tell him not to look at the aim.
I couldn’t just say, “Oh, I see.”
In the first place, it is a matter of ability, not will.
But—
“!”
Ssssssssut…!
A road was drawn in the air.
The commander is probably telling you to aim for this.
‘It’s a curve shot.’
The road was an extremely curved shot.
Almond wasn’t supposed to look at where the road ultimately led, so he couldn’t see it.
‘Is this the assistant commander who was approaching from the side earlier?’
Judging by the direction, it was at an angle aimed at shooting the enemy assistant commander.
He was looking for an angle to somehow rush into this formation from outside the range of his bow.
I want to set a trap for him to come somehow.
Aside from Almond, other archers were also aiming at the soldiers running from a different direction than him.
Perhaps this was an order given only to almonds. It’s a special operation.
If the opponent was an ordinary soldier, he would not go to this extent, but since he is an auxiliary commander, this commander also puts a lot of effort into setting traps.
‘In that case…’
Kiriririk.
Almond pulled the bowstring and stopped still.
Holding posture as if he were a statue.
This meant that he had aimed perfectly.
Uuuuuung…!
For three seconds, light gathered and the commander gave an order.
[Shooting]
Sreuk.
Immediately his bowstring was released.
A ghostly release that slides as if it had never been pulled to begin with, so much so that not even the ally could feel him releasing it.
It flew through the silence, looking for the first casualty of the battlefield.
Shhh!
The arrow gradually curved to an extreme and flew in a path the enemy had never expected.
And—
“!?”
──Boom!
A white light exploded on the head of Yamato, the enemy assistant commander who was secretly charging from the side.
“Whoops…!”
As the rider shakes violently, his horse tumbles from the shock.
thud.
He eventually fell from his horse.
It didn’t end there.
[Kill]
Shhh!
One after another, more arrows flew in.
A speaker that Almond is proud of.
“!”
Pubbung!
Although he wasn’t concentrating, two more shots hit the top of his head one after another.
“Waaaaaaaa!”
A cheer erupts from the audience.
‘this. From the beginning of the poem?!’
His vision gradually rises and he looks down at his fallen corpse.
he is dead
His spirit rose higher and higher.
[Flying a falcon]
The falcon of Joseon soared into the sky.
Whiiiiiii!
* * *
“…Curve shot?”
Panga asked.
The object of the question did not exist before. Instead of
[Cookie],
these words appeared and only a voice could be heard.
-okay. Our conclusion was that it would be a good idea to practice more curve shots.
Although in the hospital room, the exercise was led by Think Tank and Cookie.
It was planned to increase adaptability to each other by having Supreme Dai Sunshin participate in the implementation of the practice.
“But that’s only for me and Almond. “Do you think it’s okay to practice?”
-Why are you secretly included there?
Laughter erupted from all around.
“no. So sneakily. “Now that I’m really shooting.”
-Then I am also a stock expert.
“…?”
-I have earned it by chance a few times. I lost everything again.
“No… this guy…”
– But…
Cookie added these words, perhaps to revive the leader’s spirit.
-Definitely veterans like Panga have great expertise in narrowing the gap between practice and actual combat.
Everyone nodded at his words.
It was Panga who performed the worst in practice, but he showed concentration at important moments.
-Panga’s curve shot is a little different from Almond’s and their so-called Persian Three Palaces. Even though I performed poorly in practice, I was able to perform well in practice because of that.
Cookie began to explain in earnest.
-The difference is whether you can shoot by adjusting the angle of the curve at any position, or whether there are a set number of curve angles and you can shoot when you reach that location. Pangeo is the latter and almonds are the former.
People’s attention is instantly focused on Almond.
Their eyes seem to ask how on earth such a thing is possible.
-We aim for the latter. That alone will be quite helpful in overcoming the forest terrain.
At this, Carrot raises his hand.
“I…!”
-hmm?
“Actually, I’ve tried it before. It’s not easy to gauge the distance between trees or the enemy’s location. “It was very difficult to judge which angle to use.”
-ah. That makes sense.
From the soldier’s perspective, it was difficult to determine how far away the tree was, and it was even more difficult to determine what angle to curve to get to the tree.
-That’s something that only those who have shot a lot of curveballs gradually become accustomed to… It’s definitely difficult. No, it’s impossible at the moment.
“Then…”
Carrot has a puzzled expression.
It’s impossible, so why practice?
There isn’t that much time until the Japan game.
-You don’t have to worry about that.
“?”
-Our new commander will show you the way.
At this time, the archers thought she was introducing practice methods.
‘Does Choi Soon-sin also shoot a curve shot?’
‘No way.’
‘How do you want me to practice?’
‘It won’t be jumping again….’
* * *
‘Was it this!?’
Fang’er looked at the scene that was unfolding with startled eyes.
Whiiiiiii!
[Flying the Hawk]
As the hawk took off, a golden picture was drawn on the floor.
Cheeeeeeeek…!
Pictures resembling a target, with numerous circles spreading out and overlapping around the place where the Joseon archers gathered.
This is to measure the distance.
These are the circles for this one command to be passed on to all.
[Curve shot attack]
Curve shot attack.
The order did not end here.
Tieeing!
Teeing!
Tiding!
[target]
[target]
[target]
[target]
.
.
.
Countless attack pings informing the location of each barbarian soldier and swordsman hiding behind dense trees.
However, it is one ping for each soldier.
[Target]
One target per archer.
Kiririk.
One arrow.
And one road.
Sssssssut…!
The path drawn by Almond is beginning to be seen in the eyes of the players.
2-3 curve angles that I practiced repeatedly.
[Aiming]
Whirik─
All Joseon archers simultaneously turned their upper bodies toward their target.
The wide-open eyes, as if shining brightly, aim at their respective targets.
[Shooting]
Everyone’s bowstrings were released.
──Paaaaaaaaaaa!!!
White light penetrated all over the trees and took over the forest in an instant.
