Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 122
42. Obstructing Forces (4)
Killing the soldier on top of the defense tower.
Almond didn’t think like this from the beginning.
First of all, our gold mine in the 1 o’clock area was under threat. Protecting that was the top priority. Almond knew that too.
At first, he also planned to go to watch the 1 o’clock position.
There was a forest road blocking the way, so if we fought well, we could make a big profit even with a one-to-majority.
However….
[Almond. Please block it with the gold mine at 1 o’clock! Just block it in the forest!〕
Strangely enough, when Bontubi actually said this, I didn’t trust his tactics.
There was no confidence in his voice at all. Above all, it is probably due to the trust that has been created through past actions.
‘Is there any other way?’
Almond naturally looks around to see if there is a better way.
Meanwhile, I was staring at the defense tower.
‘uh?’
I realized something was different from what I had seen before.
‘People are moving.’
People are moving inside the defense tower.
It’s natural.
Isn’t the defense tower’s method of attack being someone shooting an arrow inside there?
But I feel uncomfortable.
What is this strange feeling?
‘It wasn’t like that before?’
It’s my first time seeing people moving inside.
This is because I have always seen cases where AI workers were used, but this was the first time I saw a case where actual soldiers were used in the defense tower.
‘It’s different when people go in.’
AI stays perfectly still and does not move. But people were different.
Since they also have to aim and shoot, they expose a lot of their upper bodies.
There were many gaps in many ways.
‘If I do well, it’ll be fine.’
If you shoot well, you can probably hit it.
He conveyed that opinion to Born2B.
〔I think we can neutralize the defense tower.〕
〔Yes?〕
We neutralize the defense tower here and take the original 7 o’clock gold mine again.
Thinking about it this way, it seemed like a much better strategy than going to block 1 o’clock.
Isn’t it said that the best defense is offense?
〔Bring all those workers here now.〕
Send the workers who went to 1 o’clock back to 7 o’clock and Almond will neutralize the two defense towers in the meantime.
Then, when the workers arrive, you can start digging for gold again as if nothing happened.
The enemy’s troops who have gone to 1 o’clock will be at a loss without even finding the shadow of a worker.
Following Almond’s explanation, Born2B hesitates for a moment and then speaks.
〔Ah, I understand!〕
-Who is the commander
? Hahaha
. Do your own Civil M!
-Everyone shut up! Now, receive the Almond mission and get a super fast spin on Walnut
– Strong Walnut is revived like a dog!?
At 1 o’clock, the gold mine workers began to move.
Almond also approached the defense tower.
* * *
First of all, the start was a success.
“Reynam Helicopter!!!”
As Kinggyul shouted, one enemy inside the defense tower died.
The enemy was even defeated with just one hit.
“One shot! One kill! This! “I’ll take care of this in one go!”
-Wow,
that’s crazy;
-Doraemong should also give up. This is
-Tungtungs will perish like dogs;
-Hahahaha
“Is this a coincidence!? How is this possible! “The accuracy is chilling!”
I don’t know if it was luck or not. It didn’t matter.
The important thing is that Almond now knows that this will happen.
Almond became more confident.
On the other hand, the enemy lost morale.
“uh! “The enemy is hiding now!?”
“yes. “Now the lone soldier in the defense tower has fallen to the ground.”
Even though he was on top of the defense tower, he fell flat and hid. It’s about trying to avoid a fight.
There were two soldiers inside the defense tower.
[Defense Tower]
[1/5]
Now there was only one person. One of them has now lost his will to fight.
Even though there are people in the defense tower, arrows do not come out.
Virtual neutralization.
“iced coffee! It’s not inside the defense tower! I can’t shoot my bow properly because I’m hiding! This isn’t even a defense tower anymore! “This is a defensive bottom!!!”
“Phew!”
Kimchi Warrior, who was taking a moment to catch his breath, burst out in laughter.
-Kitchen LOL
LOL LOL -Karate Shift ㄷㄷ
-Kimchi I like
? It’s almost like a “bottom”
– maybe it’s better?
After holding his breath for a while, Kimchi Warrior begins his commentary.
“Ah, first of all, let me tell you why the other person hid without the will to attack. “It’s common.”
“Is this common?”
“yes. “This is a characteristic of mercenaries who receive low wages.”
-Minimum wage mercenary ㅠㅠ
-CU style mercenary haha
-Oh, it’s because of the money.
The enemy didn’t hide because he was afraid of Almond. Even though I wasn’t actually dying, there was nothing to be afraid of.
What he was afraid of was money.
“In this game, the less you pay, the less likely you are to stay. The weapon costs at least 0.5 gold, and you have to invest 1 gold to fight properly. In fact, in most cases, we break even, and there are many deficits.”
“Ah…”
“In his case, he is a basic spearman with 1 gold. “You only benefit if you never die or win the game.”
“Then it looks like you’re going to lose the game, so you just chose not to lose your weapon!?”
Basic spearmen who earn minimum wage choose to hide if they feel like they are going to die, even if they lose the game.
“yes. “As long as you hold your breath, you won’t suffer any losses.”
“Hey! A battlefield driven by a ruthless market economy! “It’s like looking at my wife!”
“…?”
“oh….”
-??
-Mㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋ
-I need to get an editing point
-Here it is! here!
bang!
Kinggyul changes the subject by slamming the table.
“almond! I’m not satisfied with just turning one defense tower into a defense bottom! “Now we’re going to take over the other towers!”
The enemy has two defense towers.
After passing the already neutralized first, Almond headed towards the second defense tower.
And after aiming for much less time than before, I shot the bow.
Piyung!
The arrow flew high. Precisely at the soldier who stuck his head out and was aiming at Almond.
──Phew!
A screwnail arrow is lodged deep in the eye.
“You got it right! You got it right again! “I don’t think that soldier knew that Almond was targeting him!?”
“yes. You can’t communicate with the soldiers in the defense tower ahead of you. “This is medieval warfare.”
-Great medieval mulberry
-Barbarian battle haha
-Wow, you didn’t know that.
“uh!?”
My sagging upper body gets caught on the railing. The bow I was trying to shoot fell out of the tower in vain.
It’s dead.
[Wooden Defense Tower]
[1/5]
The numbers displayed on the defense tower have changed.
“He even died!? “He died in one hit again!”
-ㄷㄷ
-I can’t believe this is happening
. -Another sudden attack? Crazy
– Is this luck too?
-???
Same result as before.
One person died from each shot.
The only thing that was different was the reaction of the colleague next to me.
Kiririk.
He shot his arrow straight at Almond.
“ah! This colleague is not afraid! Even if you get minimum wage! “I am a real soldier!”
Almond also shot an arrow at him.
Pabang──
“Let’s shoot at each other!”
Arrows crossing each other.
Obviously, we shot at similar timing and the height was much more advantageous. It is not easy for a former spear soldier to shoot accurately at this distance.
His arrow missed in vain.
Of course, the almond side is a different story.
──Sigh!
This time, with an arrow stuck in the exact center of the forehead, the number on the defense tower changes again.
[Wooden Defense Tower]
[0/5]
This defense tower was empty.
Kinggyul screams.
“no! also! Another shot! Wasn’t this a coincidence!? Kimchi Warrior! What’s that! Have you ever seen anything like this!?”
King Gyul asks Kimchi Warrior, almost grabbing him by the collar.
“Arab! Persia! Türkiye! “Do Mongolian people do this?”
-If you do that, it’s going to kill you haha
-Why is the propeller spinning on your head hahahaha
-I’m scared hahaha
Kimchi Warrior answered while slightly leaning back.
“Ah… I’ve never seen this before. Usually, workers are added. “Because the worker is AI, it is positioned perfectly, so there is no chance of getting hit.”
“Oh, is that it?”
“The root of the problem is that the spearmen were brought in as a matter of urgency. However, it is absurd to guess that correctly.”
“Yes! “That’s also a vital point!”
“yes. Since it only sticks out from the head and upper body above the heart, it seems like if it hits anywhere, it will hit a vital spot… but it’s still amazing!”
-Just say almonds are shit!
-Quickly praise the K archer, you clueless bastard.
-Kimchi hurriedly takes out the wrapping paper.
Kinggyul seems to have received a satisfactory answer and focuses on the game screen again.
“But what happened to the one spearman hiding in the defense tower? Do you just keep hiding?”
“Ah… I guess so?”
“How will almonds cope? Do you want to go into that tower?”
“Hmm… If you get that close to the spearmen, you’re at a huge disadvantage… And wouldn’t the spearmen already be preparing to kill you when you go up?”
“Yes. Ah, the moment I tell you! The worker squad arrives! I’m back in my hometown again! “I came to take back my hometown!!!”
When there was still one soldier left in one defense tower.
The workers who had been evacuated by Bontubi arrived at the gold mine again.
On the other hand, the platoon of spearmen dispatched by AK47 had to sit idle without any results.
“On the other hand! AK spear unit! We’ve just attacked a gold mine near 1 o’clock! anybody there! “Everyone is already here!?”
-LOL Empty house LOL
– This is ridiculous LOL
– Wow, I’m tired of the operation;
The spearmen searched around the gold mine, but of course they could not see the shadow of any worker.
Kimchi Warrior comments on the current situation.
“ah. “This isn’t just a matter of wasting money; it’s a pretty big blow to trust.”
“Trust?”
“yes. In this game, each and every unit is a player. If the operation goes astray like this, those people also lose trust in the commander. “If that happens, it’s not good for either of us.”
“ah! okay?! you’re right! There were many times like that too, right? “The commander keeps telling me what to do, but he keeps saying nothing, so I don’t want to do it anymore and I’m already annoyed!”
Unlike simple RTS games, the cooperation of soldiers is one of the resources here.
If you keep doing what you’re told but end up wasting nothing.
There are times when some soldiers do not comply with the operation even if it means taking on a handicap.
If that happens, the progress of the game will be disrupted.
“uh!? While we’re talking! “It’s even worse for AK47 now!”
Kinggyul makes a fuss while pointing somewhere on the screen.
“The flag on the defense tower has changed!? How can this be!? The defense tower no longer belongs to AK!”
The observer shows a close-up of one of the defense towers as if to take a good look.
The flag that was planted there had changed to blue, the color of the Bontobi camp.
One defense tower was lost.
“Ahhh! Defense tower! Has your heart been taken over by Almond!?”
-It is said to be a defense tower made of ray tree wood~~ Please take down the post~~
-Defense bottom levelㅉ
-Face ID again…
As Kinggyul said, the defense tower did not really give up its heart to Almond.
“ah. If the defense tower is empty and an enemy enters it, it becomes temporarily occupied. When this happens, all visibility is taken away, so it really becomes like an enemy building.”
“yes!? Forever!?”
“no. Temporarily. When you leave, it changes again.”
Yes.
This is a common scene in Civil Empire. An empty defense building with no people inside may be temporarily occupied by the enemy.
But someone didn’t seem to notice this fact.
“uh!? Wait! I don’t think the soldiers in the other defense towers know that!?”
A soldier was hiding from Almond.
He was sticking his head out over the defense tower. This is to shoot arrows at Bontobi’s workers who have reappeared.
“It looks like they are trying to target the Bon2B workers who are starting to dig for gold again!? But I’m doing that because I don’t know where the almonds are right now! “Almond is up on the defense tower behind his head!”
It’s nice to have the desire to play the game again. The timing wasn’t good.
Almond was clearly watching the scene from the defense tower across the street.
Sigh—
An arrow flew with a snake-like sound and pierced through the back of his neck.
──Push!
He collapses, bleeding coldly.
“Ahhh! Dead! “Both defense towers are now completely empty!”
As a result, the two wooden defense towers built by AK47 became empty.
“Born to be! “I think it’s time to start adding the produced archers to the tower!”
Both defense towers become the property of Bontobi.
“Now this has practically become a tower protecting the gold mine.”
At this time, Kimchi Warrior says something meaningful.
“In a game where the base-to-play ratio was about 7 to 3, it has now become about 6 to 4.”
“Huh? That’s the only thing that went up!?”
“Born-to-cost is 6.”
For the first time since the game started, he said that live-to-play ratio was advantageous.
– Wow, reversed ㄷㄷ
-ㄹㅇ?
-This is how it goes.
At that time, countless chats were being posted in the group chat room that appeared in the corner of Kimchi Warrior’s field of vision.
The corner of Kimchi Warrior’s mouth rises as he sees the content out of the corner of his eye.
