Genius Archer Streaming Season 3 Episode 316
102. The Bigger Picture (3)
Joseon’s soldiers are spread out in all directions, scouting and hunting.
So it was impossible to know what was going on.
They had to communicate with each other to share something, but they were all separated.
Even the carrot next to the almond didn’t have a clear picture of what was going on.
‘What’s going on…….’
I’m wandering around, far away from the main Roman camp, and the person next to me is not interested in any of this.
It’s hard for her to notice that a succession of Joseon scouts have been eaten by the Romans.
She just assumes things are going according to plan.
Dudong.
[Joseon – 2nd Age]
“The 2nd Dynasty is a little slow.
It was only subtly slower.
However, this could be a difference due to the given conditions, such as terrain conditions, resource distribution, etc……. rather than a problem of things going well or not.
This is because the nature of Sybil Empire is that there is randomness in resource locations and terrain on the map.
Therefore, depending on where and how the commander places buildings and what kind of transportation routes he establishes, the age-up could be faster or slower.
Supreme Daisunsin was the fastest in this area, but Cookie wasn’t a very good commander in the first place.
So you’d think he’d be doing okay.
Tie Ling.
[Infiltration]
The moment she and Almond were given this order.
She realized something was wrong.
“Infiltrate?
It’s not just a movement command, it’s infiltration.
The command to infiltrate is literal in the first sense, meaning to enter without being seen by the opponent.
Secondly, it’s a command that leaves more discretion to the player than to the commander.
This is because there are a lot of variables involved in the order to enter undetected, and the commander can’t give you a route.
The commander can only check for hazards, and the soldier has to go in on his own.
It’s a difficult order in its own way.
“This shouldn’t be coming down.
According to the plan he’d heard, the order should have been for a simple entry, not an infiltration.
“We don’t know the terrain inside the compound.
If the terrain had been known, it would have been an entry, not an infiltration.
Once the order to enter is given, the soldier goes straight ahead, without any additional thought.
In that case, they can arrive at the desired location with little time wasted.
Of course, this reduces the chances of dealing with threats that appear in the meantime.
This is a tactic that only works if you know the terrain inside out.
“That’s what we’re supposed to do.
This was a time-critical operation.
“We’re assassinating a priest.
* * *
Meanwhile, the broadcasters don’t know about this operation.
“Huh? Joseon! As soon as we go up to 2nd Avenue, something changes?”
“Is Pae Gung-rae coming out again!”
-Pagung-ler again lol
-They’re doing the parry again against Rome ㄷㄷ
-Knowing is killing, but knowing is killing……
-3The country of the red vest
To them, the move was strange.
For a fast archer rush, the number of people moving around was surprisingly small.
“Eh, Joseon…… This is a bit strange!”
What’s even more strange is that while fewer people are being mobilized, all of the high-level personnel called secondary commanders are being used.
“Suddenly, two secondary commanders are approaching the main Roman camp?!”
“Isn’t this dangerous, I mean, they’re on horseback, but if they get stuck in the wrong mountainous terrain, they’ll just die?”
Auxiliary commanders on horseback are not easily overtaken by regular infantry in any other terrain, but in this terrain, being on horseback is a weakness.
If they approach the opponent’s main camp, they’re forced to flee, abandoning their most valuable resource at the start.
“Because mountain peoples don’t ride horses!”? Why would two auxiliary commanders be approaching the main camp!”
“I think they’re exploring…….”
Meanwhile, Almond and Carrot arrive at the Joseon main camp to change classes.
“Now the shortbows are starting to come out, and Almond and Carrot are the first to receive their bows, with Almond being the leader…… but there are far too few of us to be called archers!?”
“Rome, on the other hand…… is slowly and steadily building up its army, which is why it’s hard to play a 2nd Age strategy like Faggunger against Rome?”
“Yes, it’s easy for Rome to build up their army in the 2nd Age, because their 2nd Age weapons are efficient enough to be used in the 3rd Age, so the idea is to…… them ahead of time?”
“Yes. That’s right, other civilizations would have too much to produce in Age 2!
In turn 1, Joseon has a slight advantage, turn 2 is Rome’s turn, and from turn 3 on, it’s Joseon’s turn.
In the 4th turn, Rome again has a slight advantage.
This is how the battle between Joseon and Rome has been played so far.
“This is the final! This is the final! Everything we’ve known about common sense and common decency is becoming meaningless!”
“That’s right, even in a place like Wuxia, it’s a showdown between real masters, isn’t it?”
Just like the ancient city wall map, the two matches were becoming irrelevant, as were all the familiar structures and concepts.
This is the international stage.
Different concepts clash and develop so intensely in a short period of time that new concepts unique to the competition begin to emerge.
Now, in the final, it was becoming even more pronounced.
“Almonds and carrots, only two people are going in now! Is this for real!”
The second-in-command clears a path, and the two begin to walk down it.
“The auxiliary commanders only lit up to the entrance! It’s pitch black after that! Are we going in?!”
“Losing two archers at two o’clock is a bit much, and one of them is even an almond!!! Not just any archer!!”
“We’re going in while riding a mountain! We don’t even know what Rome is doing, not yet!? and-”
A moment of concentration to see what move Rome would make.
─Tap.
Roman’s vision goes out.
-D.
-Kya.
-Is this the view from the Joseon side?? ㄷㄷ
-Wa
-Oh, shit.
The view of infiltrating Rome from the Joseon perspective is relayed.
“Aah! This is really making my heart race!”
Almond and Carrot’s entry route, it was too dark. Uncharted terrain, where nothing has ever been revealed.
“But what does this mean?
Looking at this, King Gourd didn’t understand.
The implications of this infiltration.
“Well, I guess the Romans can be unpredictable, but I’m not sure what this infiltration is for. What can two archers do…….”
That was it.
As if to mock King Gull’s comment, the Roman view turns back on.
Pow!
“!”
King귤’s eyes widen.
“Why is this…….”
The Roman army is moving.
No, should I call it movement?
“Why do you think they’re waiting for this!”
They were already in position.
Like a deep-sea monkfish with a shiny lure hanging out, gaping open its gills.
“Bait……? What the hell is bait?
It was only then that King Gull realized.
It was the moment when all the strange phenomena were condensed into a single concept.
Why the Joseon had dared to scout so far inside the Roman camp, why Anto had known about it, and even now why the Joseon had only two archers, and why Anto knew about it……
Because they were both looking at the same thing.
“Stand, cleric, they’re going in for the cleric!”
-??
-??
-Lol???
-Can you kill that thing??
-Hmph.
-ㅁㅊ
“Is this…… really possible now!?”
I was surprised.
Obviously, if you read the composition, it’s aiming for the cleric.
Is that even possible?
I guess it’s possible.
At least that’s what two of the world’s top commanders thought at the time.
So Cookie attacks with that in mind, and Anto defends with that in mind.
“Wait, so this is a big, big deal!”
The unexpected factor.
“Anto knows everything!!!”
Anto knew this whole setup.
There was no way this plan was going to work.
“There’s no way we can do this in mountainous terrain if they’re already ambushing us!”
-Huh.
-Lol?
-So that’s what happened at 1:00……
-What?
-What the heck;
-nng
“Moreover, if it’s a priest assassination operation, it’s actually very damaging for us to lose time. It’s dark here, so we have to go in very slowly. It’s too dangerous for Joseon! We can’t go fast enough…….”
It was then.
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
[The falcon flies]!
The Joseon falcon soared into the sky.
“!”
In an instant, the Roman army’s position was revealed.
“They’ve been spotted! We know the risks! What could happen if we go in slowly and well?”
“Ah…… that, but even if they know, does that mean they’re going to avoid it!?”
Joseon came in with only almonds and carrots.
And Rome with about 20 troops ambushed here and there.
It was a battle of sheer numbers.
“That’s a lot.
Almond’s vision began to flash red here and there.
It was Danger.
[Danger]
[Danger]
[Danger] [Danger]
.
.
.
Of course, there was more.
“Oh, but this! I know the Romans have falcons too!”
The downside of flying a hawk.
The enemy realizes they’ve been spotted.
The Romans hastily change their ambush.
A large number of Roman troops move.
The previous information could be rendered meaningless.
‘How do we get there…….’
Carrot nervously calculates the route.
The commander hasn’t even created a route yet.
But──?
“Huh?
Almond started running without hesitation for 0.1 second.
Tada, tada, tada, tada!
“But Almond!”
Even the broadcasters were surprised.
After seeing all these danger pings, he just ran in?
“Almond’s running, with Carrot panting behind him!”
-Carrot’s face
-This is the DNA of the ducts. Carrot.
-What do you think he’s doing?
-No, it’s running.
-Eh, I don’t know, lunging
-Tubular behavior
“Even at Mountain People speed, you’re going way too fast! Why?”
No matter how good you are, you can only travel at a certain speed in the Sibyl Empire.
There was no way for Almond to run faster.
And yet she seems faster.
“Because I don’t doubt it!”
“What!”
Because he’s running without pausing.
-Cheetah: ???
-Cheetah.
-Cheetah: ??? Because I didn’t know you were going to run!
-Cheetah: ????
“It’s like a racehorse! It blocks your vision on both sides! So you can’t think about anything but running!”
“Oh, Almond, it’s its own racehorse!”
-LOL
-It’s the same thing with not being able to think about anything else……
-Ahhhhhhhhh
-It’s just running…… It’s just running like a dog……
“It’s dangerous when you run this fast……, but it’s getting less dangerous now!”
The Romans were unable to cope with Almond’s sudden running.
They’re aware of the Korean hawk, but they don’t know where the almonds and carrots are yet, and they’re not prepared for them to swoop in so unexpectedly.
“So, this is it! If you run fast enough, you can run on water! But the moment you doubt it, you drown!”
-D.
-A senior military officer;
-George’s Crymond 🙒
-Mr.
-It’s like, you don’t even have to doubt it to drown……
-Ahhhhhh
Almond took a split second to recognize the visible route between the danger pings and ran.
Roman was too frantic to change his ambush position.
He knew instinctively.
The information the cookie gave him was only valid for this one moment.
And his instincts were completely correct.
“Almonds! Carrots! Leave the ambush at ……!?”
As they scrambled up the rugged mountain path, there was not a single Roman soldier in sight.
“We’re through, huh?”
And, as they reached the top……
Whiiiiiiiii!
[falcon flying]
The falcon of Joseon soars once again.
They can see where the Roman workers are panning for gold.
“Hey, I can see them now!”
Almond’s vision was blurry.
“There it is.
A priest buffing among the workers.
There was no time to waste.
He drew his arrow at once.
‘They’re coming.
Tada, tada, tada.
Footsteps echo across the mountain.
All the troops that ambushed him on this mountain are coming for him.
Giririk.
He ties the cord, pulls it tight, and waits.
“One second.
[Concentration]
The white light of concentration gathers.
“Two seconds.
The white light fizzles out.
“Three seconds.
Kiyiyiying─
The white light burns and flashes with intensity.
The tip of the arrow points at the priest’s head, then soars far above.
Even for Almond, this was a challenge.
To hit a cleric in the head with a 2nd Age shortbow from this distance, you can’t do it from a normal angle.
It would be a shot that would have to be harnessed to the very last moment of the arrow’s power.
In real life, the arrow would run out of power, and a hit would be pointless, but not here.
If it hit, if it touched, if it reached-‘
“I’ll die.
Almond’s eyes flashed.
The protest that had been pulled so tightly is released.
Pow!
The arrow flew high.
