Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Side Story Episode 13
4. Witch (2)
Before I knew it, time had passed to tomorrow.
“…Almond.”
“uh?”
Rustling.
It’s full of haystacks.
“Where am I?”
Tap, tap, tap.
The sound of horses’ hooves and the strangely clattering sound of plank floors.
“It’s inside the wagon.”
It’s a luggage wagon.
But why is it inside a luggage wagon?
“What…”
“It’s the church’s wagon.”
Hmm.
Almond unconsciously covered his mouth.
‘You mean they’ve already infiltrated?’
If I were to talk like this here, my head would be blown off. Why was Ran talking so calmly?
“Rest assured. “The people leading this wagon are mercenaries who are with us.”
Almond asks in a whisper, still not completely reassured.
“…Mercenary group?”
“yes. “The red mercenaries.”
This is the mercenary group I mentioned earlier.
When I say that I remembered, Ran continues the explanation.
“This carriage belongs to the church, and we were hired as escort mercenaries.”
A lot of work went into that.
Almond thought to himself and gathered the prepared weapons.
A bow, a sword, and light armor.
There are even shurikens that are great to throw in an emergency. It is a more reliable weapon than ever.
All right. All right.
The carriage kept running.
Finally, we reach the destination.
“Stop~~”
All the carriages stop at the signal from the driver in the lead.
A rumbling sound is heard. It looks like they are inspecting the cargo.
Ran and Almond held their breath and stayed as quiet as possible.
“…what?!”
“these!”
“…Hit!…Boo!”
I heard a loud argument outside.
──Quaaaang!
Someone flew into the carriage and stuck in it.
“Ugh….”
Ran’s voice trembles as she sees his appearance.
“All… Captain?”
leader? This guy seems to be the leader of a mercenary group.
The leader spoke to the two of us in a very irritated voice, wondering if he was dead.
“What are you doing? “I’m not going out.”
He… no, I heard the voice and it was her.
She said this and pulled the bowstring.
“We were all caught. “It’s so bad.”
* * *
The words uttered by the leader who suddenly flew(?) in a carriage.
-Fuck you? Haha
– What is this line? Haha
– It’s a little different from the original?
-Was the leader originally a woman???
-It’s strange.
Almond was quite surprised, but the viewers seemed even more surprised.
-Why is the development different?
-uh? What conditions were there?
-*#*(@!?
-*@*((##
Looking at the spoiler comments being hidden, it looks like Almond did something different at some point.
‘Letter?’
Was the letter wrong?
I don’t know… Yes. Has the gender of the leader changed?
‘Could it be that the leader is a witch?’
It is possible that the leader has been replaced. This
is a production that often appears in comics and the like.
“What are you doing? I can’t hear you say you’re screwed!”
A voice that resonates loudly.
Definitely. Her personality is as good as that of a witch.
Almond was afraid of being scolded again, so he jumped out of the carriage.
When he got out, there was chaos.
“Aaaaaaa!”
“Uuuuuu
!” “Die,
you bastard!”
Numerous soldiers and believers were intertwined and fighting.
Whoop! Whoop!
White mana exploded here and there, and welding sparks that grind iron bounced around.
“Over there!”
Snap.
Then, the leader who came out of the carriage grabbed Almond’s shoulder and pointed somewhere. .
“This is the place where we have to make an escape route.”
“…An escape route?”
Almond could only tilt his head. The place the commander pointed to was the entrance to the enemy camp. Calling it an escape route doesn’t quite make sense.
Besides… ..
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ever!!!)!!!]!!!”!!!”!!!”!!!””!!!” It’s
a huge bear
!)” It looks too human-like, but it’s too much of a bear to be a human.
It’s better to just call it a monster.
Anyway, that huge monster is the ‘escape’ that the leader mentioned. It was blocking the way.
Kugung!
That guy just pulverized a soldier and a rock.
It was a moment when I could understand why the leader’s first appearance was so ugly.
He was thrown at the guy.
“…That’s a bow . Is that right?”
“He’s a contractor.”
The leader completely ignored Almond’s words and continued.
“There’s no sanctuary nearby, so he’s not immortal. Don’t be scared.”
The leader concluded that he knew quite a bit about contractors. He said and got off the carriage.
“I will go back and attack. You will defend this position and attack.”
Whirik.
The leader disappeared in an instant.
‘What kind of strategy is this?’
He said something, but in fact, Almond knew most of it. I didn’t hear it.
“First of all, just kill it…”
It seems right to get rid of that huge bear… no, the monster first.
I decide to just think about that.
“hey! Little! Rather aim at other guys! Will that arrow work?! We’ll deal with the contractor! “The leader is not telling you to shoot the contractor!”
An older-looking mercenary gave Almond some advice.
‘It’s not? ‘I think you’re telling me to shoot?’
Almond lightly ignored it and let go of the bowstring.
Piyung!
The arrow flew smoothly, making a sound like the wind, and got stuck in the monster’s left eye.
“Keuuuuuu…!”
“!?”
The mercenary’s eyes widened.
The monster isn’t sitting still and is running wild.
“Ha all at once?”
I can’t believe you made eye contact all at once.
It was too early to be surprised there.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!”
Even the remaining eye of the monster, which raised its head upward as it howled in anger, was hit.
By using the extreme parabola.
Sigh!
The arrow gets stuck as if it were falling from above.
“…Unbelievable.”
“hey. Take your men and cover me. “I’m a contractor too.”
After Almond confidently said that. I walked past the mercenary and pulled out more arrows.
There are a whopping 4 arrows, one per pod.
“Four shots…?”
“What is this guy doing?”
“Isn’t it pretentious?”
The mercenaries are buzzing at the number of arrows he pulled out. They certainly seem to be veterans, as they have the spirit to see all of this during this war.
As if I was being sucked in, they all hit my heart one after another.
Bub bub bub!
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!”
The monster writhes in pain as its vital points were stabbed one after another.
“crazy…!”
“I think you shoot better than the leader?”
“What did you just do!?”
It was an instant for the mercenaries’ muttering doubts to turn into exclamations.
The older mercenary who had been giving advice earlier also changed his stance.
“This can’t be right. Hey Kevin! zone! “Cover this little guy… no, the contractor!!!”
Several mercenaries rush in to protect Almond and Ran.
In the meantime, Almond’s eyes are focused solely on that strange creature.
‘what. ‘I won’t fall down.’
This is because the monster did not seem to have suffered much damage. Although I was waving my arms wildly in pain, it was hard to believe that I had actually suffered a fatal wound.
‘Is there another way…’
That was the time.
The leader’s voice comes from far away.
When did we get there?
“Now! “Stab!”
Hearing the loudly resounding voice, the mercenaries rush at the contractor of great strength and thrust their spears into him.
“Aaaah!”
“I’m dying!”
“You damn bastard!”
Pooh wow!
Sigh!
As he was stabbed with four or five spears and halberds, blood spurted out. Additionally, movement is limited.
‘This is…’
It was like the tactic the minions used when capturing the contractor in Rayna’s story mode.
‘Then now is your chance.’
Without missing this opportunity, Almond ties the arrow to the bowstring again.
This time, I plan to shoot another vital area of that monster.
‘Isn’t there some kind of skill?’
Even though he’s a contractor, he only uses normal attacks like this.
Tiring.
[I can feel the magic of pure white.]
As soon as I saw that message, I got the hang of it.
It must be a similar feeling to what happened in Raina’s story mode.
He closed his eyes and raised his magic power for a moment.
I’m going to go to the middle of the day…!
White mana blooms. Let it flow as an arrow.
As the bow felt much heavier, I closed my mouth tightly and concentrated on aiming.
‘Goes.’
Kwaaaaaaaa!
His arrow glowed white and passed through the monster’s head.
Yes. It has passed. It just burst through and passed by.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!
Brain fluid is scattered everywhere like rain.
[Headshot!]
This is a headshot decision.
I opened my mouth wide enough to feel the chin of the mercenary fighting next to me hit the helmet.
“Oh no!?”
Almond lowered his bow.
“It looks like it was pierced by a bow.”
Now I feel like I should run instead of shoot. Sure enough, the leader’s shout is heard from afar.
“It’s pierced! Go in!”
* * *
Kang! Kaaaang…!
The sound of metal clashing against metal echoed fiercely from all directions.
“Kwaeook!”
“Ugh…!”
Red flames and red blood splashed out.
There are dozens of people who have fallen, even when visible to the naked eye.
“Turn around!”
Nevertheless, the red mercenaries did not stop their advance.
“I will help too…!”
Ran created a huge spear of light and threw it, as if it were created by enemy believers.
Even at a young age, he is showing a level of power that is almost comparable to that of enemy believers.
One thing that stands out the most is Almond’s performance.
He was protected in the very center of the friendly camp and was precisely cutting out the enemy’s key figures.
Phew!
“Oops!”
Shindo, who was conducting, collapsed and fell down the stairs on the second floor.
When I pulled the bowstring again, this time the large soldier guarding the second entrance was scattered like fallen leaves.
“It’s underground!”
The leader points to the basement.
There will be things related to blue holes in there. But…
‘Is this going to work?’
There were still a lot of enemies, so going underground felt like suicide.
‘What kind of operation is this?’
As a player, there wasn’t much that could be done in this situation. All you have to do is just shoot and kill the enemies.
In any case, Almond fired his arrow hard, thinking that if we killed them all, we would have to die.
“Go in! Go in!”
“Go and set up the camp!”
“yes!”
Even when the mercenary group entered the basement, Almond and Lan stood guard at the entrance and swept away the enemies.
Pow! Pow!
Almond’s arrows struck down four or five people at once.
“We have to go in now!”
“If we go underground, won’t we all die?!”
“no! There is a back exit! “The leader already found out through a spy!”
I see
At those words, Almond slams the basement door shut.
“You have to wear this!”
Mercenaries approached the door holding what looked like huge stakes instead of locks.
With this, we will first close the basement door.
Fortunately, the basement door was iron, so it was not immediately broken through by the believers.
Iike… BOOM!
We even succeeded in inserting the stake.
“ha. “I won’t be able to come for a while.”
The mercenaries muttered as if relieved and went down to the basement.
* * *
As I entered the basement, I saw factory facilities on a level that was incomparable to anything I had seen before at school.
Of course, because we invaded suddenly, this place was also full of workers who couldn’t escape.
“If you don’t surrender, we will kill you all.”
The leader’s cold voice rang out, and the mercenaries’ slaughter began.
Because even the workers were believers here, no one surrendered easily.
“I’m not! I am a researcher who was forcibly captured! “Please don’t compare me to these crazy people!”
A researcher wearing a white robe approached the leader as if he wanted to grab his pants.
Mercenaries stop him.
“Where are you going to get?”
chuck.
The leader raised his hand to calm them down for a moment.
“…you were captured?”
“Yes yes… these guys kidnapped me! I… I have a daughter when I go out!”
“then. All seven goddesses are bastards. try.”
“…yes?”
Eat.
A mockery flowed from behind the leader’s helmet.
“What are you asking? “Don’t say it twice.”
“….”
The researcher lowers his head, then suddenly jumps to his feet and pulls out a dagger.
“Fucking dirty heathen bird——”
Pow!
An arrow hit the exact center of his forehead.
It was an arrow that flew in and pierced in an instant.
The leader’s eyes turn to Almond.
“…Thank you for killing me. “When did I say it was okay to kill you?”
“There’s nothing to waste time on.”
Almond shrugged his shoulders.
“I heard you have a plan. “We’ll have to do it quickly.”
He pointed to the basement door above.
“Won’t it break through soon?”
“You… are the one who came with a little boy named Ran, right? “What was your name?”
“almond.”
“?”
The leader tilts his head.
“…really?”
What does this mean again?
“really.”
“That’s quite a coincidence.”
The leader muttered, ‘That’s not a common name,’ and ordered the soldiers to kill all the researchers here and collect evidence.
* * *
Boom. Quang.
The underground factory was in a shambles as all kinds of miscellaneous items were being rummaged through.
However, evidence is coming out one after another.
“under? Damn you bastards. “They were making a lot of potions here.”
“This is how a contractor was created….”
“Chief! This is the Blue Hole! Potion recipes too!”
“They use it as a murder weapon, but when they think it’s useless, they sell it to an illegal battlefield for money…”
All of the red mercenaries were angry, probably because they had a lot of connections with this Blue Hole.
“After sweeping up the evidence here. We’ll take the back road escape. “We leave the escape route security team and make contact with other colleagues waiting for us outside.”
“yes!”
This is why I was able to come in without any hesitation. As Ran said, it looks like a way out has indeed been secured.
In this case, there wasn’t much for Almond to do.
But….
Paaaaang!
A piece of glass broke from above.
‘glass?’
When I did something, a very small window that served as a ventilation outlet in this underground warehouse broke.
Digging…!
What’s surprising is that it came through that window.
‘pigeon?’
It was a pigeon. It flew straight towards Almond and dropped a letter.
It was a letter painted in ominous red.
It didn’t even say who sent it.
Almond picks up the letter and opens it.
“Survive for 10 minutes!”
What?
Almond was embarrassed.
“…suddenly?”
All you have to do is escape through the exit… Why do they ask you to survive for 10 minutes?
Okay.
Almond turns the back of the letter over.
There was a drawing in the shape of a hand. It looked like the little finger was raised.
And the nail on the little finger is particularly long.
‘ah.’
Only then did Almond realize who had sent this letter.
“Laurent.”
