23. Abdominal pain (2)
“The most troublesome thing in European civilization is the knights.”
This is what Cookie said when he was making a strategy for European countries.
“It is especially fatal for a civilization like Joseon that specializes in long-range weapons. “Not only the Frankish royal knights that appear from the 2nd Age, but also the English Templar Knights and the Teutonic Knights of Germany that appear from the 3rd Age are all troublesome.”
The reasons were all similar.
“They basically receive halved damage from long distances, and their armor deflects all arrows below a certain level of tension.”
This is because it is almost impossible to kill with a long-distance attack.
Unless gunpowder weapons such as rifles and matchlocks appeared in the 4th Age, it would have been foolish to intercept and capture knights from a distance.
“But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way to catch it from a distance.”
However, the knights were not invincible from long distances.
It would certainly be foolish to fight a knight with only a bow, but what if they attack together?
“All you have to do is attack together with spearmen.”
Especially with spearmen, it’s a different story.
This is a typical strategy.
The spearmen who had ambushed the knights who saw the archers came running out and countered them.
Once the spearman holds the knight still, the knight momentarily reveals his weakness.
“You can’t even cover your joints with armor. Back, elbow, knee, ankle, neck, etc… There are gaps in the armor at joints like this. If the archers aim hard and shoot while they are not moving, they may hit them. Especially…”
No matter how thoroughly the armor was wrapped, there were always gaps in the joints.
Cookie raises her hand and points.
“Here.”
It was snow.
Clear black eyes that seem to have hard cores embedded in them.
The blue sky shines above it.
Arrows are flying like swimming in blue irises.
“Eyes are very deadly.”
Feathers slowly fluttering.
Everything is slow.
A world where sound has disappeared in time and even the air seems to have hardened.
Paaaaaaaa….
Only the arrow advanced across the frozen world.
The moment when it tramples on the hard wind and finally falls into blue irises.
‘That’s right.’
Wajangchang.
The slow world collapsed.
──Phew!
“Oops!”
The knight’s head was thrown back and a fountain of blood spurted out.
At the same time, a roar hits my ears.
“Waaaaaa!!”
It’s not just soldiers.
Among the spectators, everyone dressed in red stood up.
“Waaaaaa!”
My eardrums are ringing numbly.
Contrary orders come out from both sides.
“The driver is in danger! Stop it!”
“Now! “Kill me!”
The situation becomes urgent.
The knight fainted with his head tilted back.
He had his white neck exposed.
It’s in perfect condition to kill.
“If you get hit in the eye, you will be temporarily incapable of fighting and have no choice but to expose all of your vital points.” Not only
the neck, but almost all of the vital parts of the body will be exposed, and even the hit judgment will improve.
It is now.
Panga shouted to the archers.
“Shoot and kill! Shoot!”
Following Fang’er’s shout, countless arrows were fired at the knight.
Arrows are shot like a heavy rain and land in all sorts of places.
The knight ends up becoming a hedgehog.
The exposed white neck soon turns red…
Shake it off!
“!”
The driver fell from his horse.
It’s dead.
“Waaaaaa!!”
Just the death of a knight causes a huge roar.
Almond leaves it behind and looks elsewhere.
‘Now there’s only one thing left….’
There was one more article.
‘uh?’
But where is it?
I didn’t know where it was.
Hehehe…!
‘back!?’
I don’t know when Almond turned and ran, but a dark shadow appeared behind him.
Almond rolled forward and barely managed to avoid the knight’s sword.
Huh!
But then there was no other way.
Regardless, the knight runs back and wields his sword to finish off Almond.
“This bastard is the culprit──”
At this time, another horse rider passed by quickly and attacked.
──Cow!
“I still have the bamboo spear. “You bastard.”
[Bread]
It was white bread.
He ran at the speed of a horse and stabbed him with a bamboo spear.
The knight collided head-on with the lancer.
“Ugh…!!?”
Hehehe…!
The royal knight fell from his horse, waving his fancy badge.
thud!
Since the knight was not dead, he tried to escape from danger by rolling his body. Even if he ran away just a little bit, the person on the horse couldn’t stab him.
But Bbang threw the bamboo spear somewhere.
“ruler. here.”
Almond’s hand grabbed her bamboo spear.
“Finish.”
Almond ran straight ahead and stabbed the knight who was rolling on the ground.
Phew——!
“Aaaahhh!”
It was at that moment that the second knight also died with a scream.
Bababam!
The sound of the trumpet rang out.
huh? Sponsorship must have been turned off, right?
[The enemy has surrendered!]
It was not sponsorship.
This is a notice of surrender.
* * *
surrender?
Almond was strangely surprised.
I knew it would come soon.
When that moment finally came, the feeling that came over me was…
‘I won?’
won
These three letters alone fill my mind.
Like a flash, the past events pass by for a moment.
Joseon’s scrimmage defeat.
Considering that 98% of the predictions for victory and defeat were for Frank to win.
When shooting arrows at the defense tower.
The moment the royal knight appeared.
That feeling of being stabbed with a bamboo spear.
And a notification that has never been seen in scrims….
Boom!
[Joseon Victory]
Almond was at a loss for words for a moment.
The words didn’t come out properly from my throat.
That wasn’t all.
The battle cries die down and silence reigns.
One side has lost all strength and the other side is too overwhelmed.
Did you win?
‘really?’
The hot energy of victory gradually penetrates into my skin. I felt it tactilely.
It’s our victory.
chuck!
Bread raised his sword high and shouted.
“I won!!!”
Everyone shouted so loudly that they had never screamed louder than at this time.
Everyone threw their weapons upward and roared in victory.
“Waaaaaaaaah!”
The panther runs towards me, almost making a crunching sound.
“Hey! I believed it! almond! You shot the knight!? uh!?”
Is this really the same person who told Almond not to say anything meaningless other than strategy when he first came in?
Everyone, including him and Spam Ratte Carrot, ran over and hugged him.
I couldn’t help but laugh.
ha ha ha!
It was the same with almonds. Although the time spent with this team was short, the amount of joy was not small.
He smiled so much that his white teeth shined dazzlingly.
-ㅊㅊㅊㅊ
-Wow, it’s really amazing

-Just a legend
-It’s really crazy ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Ahh, I praise the “NUT”
-I praise myself for seeing this in the first person

* * *
When the surrender declaration was made.
Casters Kinggyul and Kim Sang-hoon jumped up and shouted.
“Rice~~~~~Rice!!!”
“You won! Now you really won! Frank to the 2nd era!! Joseon! Even if I didn’t receive the Jikjisimcheyojeol! “I will accept the sudden death of a rat!”
-LOL I’m so sorry LOL
-ㅅㅂLOL
-I’m so touched ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Is this a true story? now?
Caster looked at the words “Victory” again and shouted as if he was filled with emotion.
“A fight that seemed impossible! Trying trick after trick like this! It turned out to be a real win! I really can’t believe this! Frank can’t believe it any more now!?”
Kinggyul nods and answers.
“Yes! Look at that Frankish commander’s face, as if his soul has been drained out of him! It’s absolutely crazy! On the other hand, Joseon!?”
“What about Joseon!”
“Jikjisimche urethral abdominal pain~~! I was excited! I can’t help but laugh! “The ten-year-old congestion is going away!”
-ㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋ
-“K – ROFL”
-Abdominal pain ㅇㅈㄹㅋㅋㅋ

-How many verses are there in Jikji Shimche

’s all the lingering feeling of victory Without leaving, the caster hears something through the in-ears and says.
“ruler! They say they will soon be selecting the MVP of this game! Before that, let’s go and watch the highlights!”
* * *
Meanwhile, the stands in France.
“…Holy shit!”
bang!
The atmosphere here was not only gloomy, but also dangerous.
“You idiots! Are you trying to get eliminated from the preliminaries again!? “What are you going to do if you don’t catch Joseon in this group!?”
“Fuck you! A horse-riding civilization can’t take on a bow civilization?! These idiots are the ones who will give up and lose to the rock! “There is no answer!”
The audience, who seemed to be very drunk, started swearing a lot and ended up getting banned by This World.
[1 minute silence]
Red letters were written over their faces, making it impossible to hear anything they said.
Nevertheless, it was clear that they didn’t care and kept swearing, as they kept opening their mouths without stopping. The anger doesn’t go away.
Other spectators left the stadium one by one, perhaps tired of cursing.
There was no reason to hesitate because you could disappear from this stadium with just a click of a button.
[Log out]
Gradually, the French stands become empty, and only those four letters appear.
On the other hand, the Korean audience still remained and sang songs, creating a festive atmosphere.
If you combine heaven and hell, this is probably what it would look like.
Meanwhile, I could see two non-Koreans remaining.
They weren’t even French.
“What did you think? “Anto.”
He was Italian.
Anto, who was asked a question, is the general manager of the Italian team.
“France is struggling at all after its golden generation.”
“yes. Raising a single defense tower in the beginning had too much of an effect. “There are many other mistakes.”
“hmm. okay. The only good thing was filming slave miners? “The performance was disappointing.”
“Still, I am perplexed by the strategy used by Joseon. “With good intentions.”
Another man I’m talking to is Toby.
He was the leader of an Italian think tank team.
In Korean terms, he is in the same position as Kim Chi-seung.
“Embarrassment?”
Anto asks why. He continues to explain.
“yes. Chosun has stuck to standard strategies throughout scrimmages and has been known to build up for next season, not this season. “I will polish the standards and make them more solid.”
“Hmm. That’s right… definitely…”
“Joseon has been showing a completely different side from the scrimmage since the first game. Far from being standard and solid, it is a feast of completely disposable, irregular strategies and tactics. “Isn’t this intentional?”
What Toby was saying was that Joseon actually prepared an anomalous strategy called ‘Nalville’ and proceeded with the scrimmage while hiding it.
It may seem plausible at first glance, but in Anto’s opinion, it was too much of an assumption.
“The more irregular a strategy is, the more practice it requires…”
Hiding a strategy means not being able to practice it.
Using irregular strategies in practice without practice?
By Anto’s standards, it was unreasonable.
“That’s the way I see it. “Toby.”
“?”
“I still don’t know if Joseon is different from Scream or what. “It could simply be a strategy prepared just for France.”
“That’s true. Since France is a friendly country, they must have made special preparations.”
Toby also nods, saying that the possibility is high.
However, something is suspicious.
There’s something…
‘After going through all that, didn’t the level of completion drop a little?’
If it was really prepared just for France, the build should have been a little more polished. It really had to be sharpened just for France.
However, the Fast 2 era build just now was not exactly suited to the French invasion.
As if other countries were also taken into consideration…
‘Well, they won’t suffer anymore.’
It’s Jukchang and it’s Fast 2.
Since it has already been used, the chances of being attacked by other civilizations are significantly reduced.
In particular, we, Roma, who watched this game in person, will never be defeated.
Toby thought so.
“Well, anyway, it will become clear what Chosun’s strategy for this tournament is when we watch the match between Spain and Joseon. “There is no need to rush to prepare.”
Rome and Joseon were supposed to face each other at the end. This means that there will be many opportunities to learn about Joseon in the future.
“Anyway, it was a nice sight.”
“yes.”
“Oh, by the way.”
“?”
Sigh.
Anto hands over the screenshot he saved.
It looks like it was taken during a game.
“This person…”
“If it bothers Jeong Jo-seon as you said, then investigate this player.”
In each of the photos he held out, a handsome young man with dark hair was drawing a bow.
“It’s someone I haven’t seen since last year, so it’s not that bad.”
“All right.”
Toby nods and looks at the electronic display.
[Selecting MVP…]
Highlights of the game are playing and the judges are voting for MVP.
‘I’d like to watch the MVP interview as well.’
After thinking for a moment, Toby just leaves the stadium.
