Genius Archer Streaming Season 3 Episode 310
100. The Battle for the Tower (3)
When Pierre entered the tower with one of his companions, it was hopeless.
Almond was too low, and Pierre’s sword was too close for the archers above.
Indeed, it was almost a one-sided slaughter.
Fangir was pushed back by shield thrusts and cornered, seemingly waiting to die.
There was no angle to put an arrow through in the first place.
The Legion’s huge shields were right in front of him, blocking him on all sides.
“Pah, Pang’er, draw your bow!”
Then Pang’er stands up and pulls the string.
It’s like he’s trying to do something one last time, but it’s not even visible to the broadcasters.
There was no way he could do this.
And then-
“Aaaaah! Ji, now the arrow!”
──Shui Yip!
His arrow left the area of the square defense tower, and came back like a boomerang.
-??
-Hmph.
-Eh???
-Hmph.
-Ah????
After watching the fake national anthem a few times, viewers quickly realized that this was actually a curve shot that Pang’er had accidentally taken in the early days of practicing.
This was actually a curve shot that Panger accidentally shot in the early days when he was practicing his curve shot.
This arrow would usually end up in the forehead of the younger Latté.
This was because Latté was in front of Panger in practice.
This time, however, he was not in front.
Standing in the way of this arrow is the back of Pierre’s head.
“!”
Pow!
The arrow, filled with white flames, hits Pierre in the back of the head.
“……!?”
For a moment, the broadcasters were speechless.
There was a moment of silence.
It’s not easy to have silence at the broadcast desk when things are moving so fast.
It took everyone by surprise.
Kingule slams his hand down on the table, breaking the silence.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
-LOL
-Wow!
-Bam!
-Crazy!
-hahahaha
“This, with a 180-degree curve shot from Pangir!!! and it’s solved!!!”
“Oh, no, and now the soldier right next to him is dead too! I don’t know what that is, but Pang’er, that’s awesome!”
The broadcast cameras couldn’t capture what happened on both sides in the blink of an eye.
They hadn’t expected Almond to kill an invisible enemy hanging from a ladder, so they hadn’t shown him at all.
“Pang-er, this guy, he was obscured by the almonds, but before the almonds, he was the Joseon Supreme Court!”
“But he’s old! I couldn’t get used to the curve shot!”
“Yes! And yet, by making this ridiculous angle, he managed to kill the enemy’s ace, and that too at the most crucial time!”
“With the very thing you were making the most mistakes with! You kill the ace of the strongest team in the world right now! Fangir!!”
-d
-lol
-Wah!
-Mm.
-Now that’s one down.
The Romans targeted three defense towers.
Two of them were taken by the Romans, and one was defended.
“We saved one ship! That’s not the same as not having any!”
“Oh, but two were lost, and all the archers on them were killed!”
The reason Rome wanted to take the towers was for territorial control.
The arrows fired from the tower were pushing back the Roman entrance.
But once the tower was captured.
The Romans gradually gained momentum.
“Rome, some of the detachments are hitting the barbarian soldiers from behind, and now Joseon is being attacked from both sides!”
When attacked from both sides, even with a small number of helmets, the troops caught in the middle are at a significant disadvantage.
In fact, there are records of people in the past who were caught off guard by enemies attacking from the left due to the viewing angle of their helmets or their right-handedness.
That’s why composition is so important in war.
Now, Joseon was not in a good position.
There was-
“Alas, now the Romans have javelins!”
Whoosh!
The long javelins begin to be thrown from the top of the defense tower.
“But it’s slow! Spear regeneration takes 10 seconds!”
“Yes! Javelins take forever!”
Compared to arrows, which can be shot at will, it’s a lot slower.
The point of taking defensive towers in the first place was to drive out the archers on them, not to be utilized by the Romans.
-Kya also has the romance skill “Throw a spear”
-Was it a skill?
-Regenerating spears is a skill, javelins are bad.
Was it slow, but did it do its job?
The Roman army gradually ate the Joseon army.
Puck!
Puck!
Spears flying from the defense towers pierced the Joseon army one by one.
Most importantly, the arrows that were fiercely fired from the defense tower disappeared.
“Oh, we’re being pushed back, we’re being pushed back!”
The barbarian soldiers of Joseon, who remained close to 130, gradually dwindled in number.
Down to less than 100.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
A cheer erupted from the Roman stands.
[Retreat]
Cookie forces them to retreat.
“Joseon retreats!”
“Aaaaah……!”
“But they’re taking up positions again!”
It’s a retreat, but not a very far retreat.
“Joseon’s one remaining defense tower! Gather under it!!!”
The only remaining defense tower.
They decided to defend it.
The Roman infantry following them are cut down by a hail of arrows.
“Waaaaaaaaaah!”
A roar erupts from the Joseon stands.
“Is that Almond talking! There’s still one tower left!”
-Kya
-lol
-one tower
“This is Almond! Fangir’s guarding it, and it’s slowing us down!”
“Because this makes it hard for Rome to get out!”
Physically, I was able to get out.
Psychologically, however, it was not so easy.
Once the barbarian soldiers gathered at the base of the defense tower charged, they would surely kill the workers trying to get out.
“And the Roman resources, we can’t really use them anymore! If we use them, we’ll lose all hope for the multi!”
“But!”
They say resources are drying up, but…… wasn’t Joseon.
They made multis, didn’t they?
Thud.
[Defense Tower – 0%]
“Aaaaaaah!”
Another tower begins to rise, near the one Almond and Fangir defended.
“They’re building another tower!!! Another!!!”
“What! Gangnam is full! Push per minute! We have no land! We have no Gao!!!”
-Ahhhhhhhhh
-Ahhhhhh
-New Town Dega~!
-Ahhhhhh
-The Age of Romanceㄷㄷ
Joseon had secured Multi.
Resources were constantly coming in from there, and the number of workers was steady.
Joseon could go to the third generation in the long run, or they could build more defense towers right now…….
“It doesn’t end here!”
Now, they could tear down the buildings that blocked the entrance to the main camp and advance by themselves.
[Demolition]
Kugugugugugung……!
“The entrance to the Joseon main camp has been reopened, and the soldiers are all armed and trained!?”
Fifteen shortbowmen and a dozen swordsmen line up outside the main camp to face the Roman legions.
“If we do this, we’ll be able to trap Rome once and for all, right?”
Once all these troops are in place, the Romans cannot leave the camp.
The game is over.
“This! Is this real! Joseon is this strong!”
The caster shouts in extreme excitement.
“Calm down, Joseon, you can lock all of you up and go to the 3rd district! The land here is mine anyway! I’m going to take it slow! This is how you know your priorities!”
If you’re greedy for more multis here, or if you’re going for a fast 3:00, you’re actually giving Rome one more chance.
“This looks like an easy decision from a distance! But when you’re in there, playing with limited vision, with all the psychological warfare and gimmicks and stuff, it’s not easy to make the same call as us, who see everything!”
“But Cookie’s got the daylight now!”
Commanders are instinctively uneasy about staying in the 2s.
The fact that the era has stopped moving forward is a huge burden.
There’s no going back.
That’s why even good commanders are likely to pick the wrong number here.
The choice is between going for the fast 3s here, or adding a multi.
It’s not a big mistake. It’s a very small mistake.
In fact, I could have killed the enemy more perfectly this way.
The problem is risk.
If there’s even a 1% risk, Rome is a team that thrives on it.
That’s why so many commanders failed in front of Anto.
Cookie doesn’t follow that path now.
He stays in the 2s and seizes the game perfectly.
He’s played Roma before, and he’s lost to them.
He knows how to win.
“Cookie’s motto today is: 100% of the time, 100% of the time! Or something close to it. It’s this. It’s perfect.”
“And Cookie’s health today, I think it’s not 100%, I think it’s 200%!”
Defense towers are built with resources from the multi, and soldiers trapped in the main camp are joined.
The Roman line was pushed further and further back.
The defense towers were recaptured.
“Two defense towers are back in Joseon’s hands!”
“And now Joseon has a constant supply! Rome is now out of resources, ouch!”
Some would say we got lucky.
Luck that the same map from Set 1 is available one more time.
Here, Joseon had the advantage and could continue to lead the opponent.
However, this luck was cookie-cutter.
In the first place, Ancient Walls is a favorable map for Rome.
What turned it into a favorable map for Joseon was the base that Cookie showed in the first battle with Rome.
It is a composition created by those sleepless nights when Cookie, no matter how strong the opponent was, did not give up after one game, but planned until the end.
His plan, which could not shine then, burns with full light now.
“Rome! Rome!!! Resources have dried up!!!”
The faces of the two commanders on the relay screen.
A subtle but mixed reaction.
“Waaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!”
A cheer erupts from the stands.
It was the Joseon side.
[Surrender].
Rome has declared surrender.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Rat, rat, rat, rat, rat, rat!”
King귤 screamed, rising to his feet faster than anyone else.
Castor’s eyes widen and he waves his arms.
“Joseon! In the first game of the finals! We’re going to strike first against Rome, aaaaah!”
“Aaaah! That’s right! This is what Cookie is talking about! I told you it wasn’t like the qualifiers! Huh!?”
“Yes! It’s not the same team we faced in the qualifiers! Now!! Same map! Same opponent! But the composition was different! The skill was different! The desire was different!!!”
[Victory]
The victory declaration is shown for Joseon, and the game is indeed over.
The crowd erupts in enthusiastic cheers.
“Daeaeaeaeae, Min, Gook!”
Tae-ring.
The numbers on the scoreboard change.
==== ====
Joseon 1
Rome 0
==== ====
The players open the capsule and step out.
The broadcast camera zooms in on the Korean players.
Their faces are shown on a giant screen.
It’s the first time they’ve ever beaten Rome in a game.
Even though Joseon has been the hero of every upset in the past, this is the biggest upset of all.
Still, no one was thrilled.
Max even smiled lightly.
Cookie, in particular, was so happy that he could have been the one who lost the game.
He walked out of the room looking just like he did when he first entered.
Almond was the same way.
He didn’t even look at the crowd, just headed to the waiting room.
And that was the end of the first set.
