103. The Arrow That Transcends the Game (3)
BANG!
Qi Shuang stood up and shouted, hitting the table.
“That’s it!”
It worked.
Anto was completely fooled.
“Oooooh!”
“Mi, crazy, did it really work like we thought! Or did it just take!”
It was one of two anyway.
It could have been just a photo, as Gobspear had said.
Qi shook his head.
“There’s no way Anto just took it.”
Anto doesn’t like games of chance.
Every choice he makes has a rationale.
Even if he did play odds, he’d take the odds in his favor.
That’s why he was able to figure it out.
“It was only when I became Anto that I realized. How Joseon looks through his eyes.”
In a pre-match meeting, Chi-seung decided to become Anto and quickly ran through a mock game.
He tried to think like him as much as possible, trying to figure out the lineup.
Naturally, he wouldn’t analyze the groupings based on just the final one or two games.
He would have analyzed the entire team for the entire tournament.
When he did, he was able to come to the same conclusion as Anto.
“For him, Joseon’s operations are always the same: we use almonds as the centerpiece, and the operations are based on the combat power of the soldiers.”
It wasn’t a bad analysis.
It’s a theory that’s even more certain because it’s Anto himself.
A theory that was more of an epiphany than a guess.
The strategy doesn’t do the almonds, the almonds do the strategy.
The Roman command understood this distinction.
And he realized they did.
“I’m really concerned with defenses against archers right now.”
It didn’t cost money to build defense towers or walls.
But Qi could tell when he was watching.
“There’s a strange amount of activity on one side.”
Anto’s attention was being stolen.
His gaze kept drifting to where the archer ambush was coming from.
One soldier after another circled the area, always circling the area they were trying to protect at the time of any big movements.
“Anto is fighting the ‘almond strategy’.”
Qi chuckled.
“It doesn’t even exist.”
There is no almond strategy in this game.
Because it’s a naval battle?
It wasn’t.
“Lucky.
I guess this is what you mean when you say you’re right.
“I decided to switch classes because of the almond health issue, and everything turned in my favor.
Choi Sarang walked in during the meeting.
“Why don’t we switch Almond’s class, so the enemy is confused and we can decide for ourselves when Almond is tired?”
The gist of it was this.
If Almond plays as an archer for three games, he’s going to be less effective in the next game. The enemy would have already analyzed that. So after the third game, they might not care about him as much.
That would be a big loss for Joseon.
That’s why Choi Sarang suggested it.
Choi suggested that Joseon change the almond class in game three, so that Rome would have to worry about it in game four or even game five.
“Anto once said in an interview. “He once said in an interview, ‘No commander wants to swing his fist when he has a knife, so it’s easy to see.'”
Qi has been analyzing everything about Anto.
Everything, even his past statements.
That’s why he could shake his head confidently.
“Anto is mistaken. Almonds are not swords. They are nukes.”
In this war, Almond was no longer a knife.
He became a nuke.
With the combined power of the think tank and the cookie, what was clearly a tactical weapon was now a strategic weapon.
“It’s stronger when you hold it.”
A country with a nuclear weapon never fires it.
The moment they do, it starts an all-out war, which greatly reduces their value.
The true value of a nuclear weapon is when it remains a “potential to destroy everything”.
That’s what Almond is now.
A threat that could come in at any time and threaten the clergy, a game-ending danger.
By existing, it maintains its value in the game.
“Anto still thinks there’s another speedboat coming.”
“Huh…… g, is it real?”
He kept his mind on the invisible nuclear threat.
Meanwhile-boom.
Dudong.
[Joseon – 3rd Age]
Joseon strikes first with the 3rd period.
“Okay, here we go.”
The original sea battle is from the 3rd period.
* * *
“Joseon’s 3rd era! It’s so fast, can’t it be?”
The development speed of the third era of Joseon was considerable.
They didn’t invest in any weapons from the 2nd era.
“Rome, on the other hand, had one or two offensive chances in the 2nd century……!? They just didn’t come out right, like they were conscious of something!?”
Rome, on the other hand, did have some 2nd Age troops.
If they could have gotten them to the main ship, they could have done some good.
But Rome couldn’t.
“I think! Anto was looking for something, thinking it would come!”
Well, Anto didn’t find the almonds after all, did he?
Because no one was on the ship.
“I thought Joseon would surely drop an archer, but there was no one in it! And then Anto did something that wasn’t civilization advancement, he drew another incendiary ship!”
Anto had thought that the first ship was a trick, and that the second would follow immediately afterward.
He was overly confident. Joseon would surely benefit from the archer drop.
“No, Anto, what makes you so sure!”
“Because I was wondering why Cookie would draw 2 speedboats!”
“Oh, come on, no way!”
“Because Cookie sent one speedboat to the Roman camp, as if he was sending it! She gave them a cake!”
The reason Anto was so convinced was that Cookie had indeed been acting.
Commanders are forced to make judgments based on the limited information they receive from a limited field of view.
This is an environment where there are bound to be errors in the information to begin with.
Add to that the detailed and sophisticated deception of an opponent?
And when you’re cornered?
It becomes difficult for even Anto to make the right judgment.
“So you’re telling me that Joseon only picked up two speedboats, and they just bounced two of them? Rome has two relatively expensive incendiary ships, and they’ve organized their soldiers to block them if they drop again, and they’re delayed!”
Joseon’s two speedboats contained no troops.
They had spent zero on soldiers.
“This! I guess Anto’s still worried about keeping the clergy in check!”
King Gull sees the writing on the wall.
Why is this trick working so well?
Fear is at the root of it.
“Even though the almonds failed in game two, I think that was a threat, and that’s why it keeps bothering me!”
The emotion that Anto capitalizes on the most.
It’s the emotion that Anto utilizes the most.
“The arrow that was shot in game two is now flying in game three! At Anto!”
-R.
-That was creepy.
-It was worth it to shoot while freaking out.
-It’s like this.
-It is.
-This is why the content of the game is also important
“Even Joseon always used almonds in the early game!”
“Oh, yes, he always used it, always! Even when I knew it!”
“But this game, he didn’t use the almond like a ghost! He just let it slide! It’s like a real cookie’s tooth and nail sensation! He just got the edge!”
In this match, however, Joseon did not field an archer at all.
In fact, it was a first for the entire tournament.
The result?
[Pan Ok Sun – 97%]
Without wasting a single resource, Joseon’s first warship is built.
“And Joseon, here comes the Pan-Ok!”
[Pan Oksan – Completed]
Pow!
The trumpet sounds and the Pangoksun appears.
“No, what if we just go into Rome now! What happens! Rome is in the 3rd century!”
Bang.
[Rome – 3rd Age]
Rome is in the third era.
Naturally, they didn’t have any 3rd Age ships.
A few soldiers climb aboard the jade ship.
However, they are all barbarian soldiers.
They are free units that have not yet been supplied with armor.
“Shipbuilding! Just put the barbarian soldiers on board! They’ll just fire cannons anyway! Right?”
They hadn’t even considered cavalry warfare in the first place.
“Cookie knows that if we go now, we’ll get at least a multiplier advantage! We only have one Roman incendiary ship, and that’s not enough to stop the Pan-Ok! We need three incendiaries to break the Pan-Ok!”
Panjax is a defensive ship to begin with, so it’s pretty tough.
If two incendiary ships self-destruct on it, it will have exactly 2% health left.
It would take three incendiary ships to destroy it.
Fire away……!
The barbarian soldiers sail across the sea.
“Ahhhh Roman fishing boats now! Is this……!?”
Roman fishing boats are in sight.
There’s no way they’re just going to pass by.
Kwaaang!
The guns opened fire.
The fishing boats sink in an instant.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Joseon is finally speaking up! This is our fishing zone!”
-d
-Now;
-Why are we getting beaten by China and beaten by Rome……ㅋㅋㅋ
-Ahhhhhhhhhh
-This is territorial integrity, man.
Rome’s food supply starts to drop significantly.
This is because the Panjoks are traveling everywhere and shooting at fishing boats.
“They’re only targeting the fishing boats!”
“Yes. I don’t bother going to the main island, it’s too dangerous there. Why would I go there when I can just take out your fishing boats? You come!”
That’s right.
We didn’t know what dangers lurked on the Roman side.
We know exactly what’s going on because we can see it all on the broadcast, but it’s a gamble for Cookie.
I could lose my first panopticon to a combination of ambushed (and non-existent) incendiary ships and galleys.
Instead, it’s best to clean up the fleet and take advantage of the high concentration of fish in the central waters.
“They’re not all the same fish, are they? They’re in the middle of the ocean, right? They’re much more food-efficient over here, and Joseon is wiping them out!”
“Joseon’s food supply rate is skyrocketing! Otherworldly Joseon has a huge fishing area!”
Only Joseon fishing fleets began to populate the central seas.
The radius of the Roman fishing fleet’s activity became narrower and narrower.
They could never venture very far, as they would be sunk after a single pass by a pangolin.
Eventually, they caught only enough fish for the common laborers in the streams.
“No, but timing is an art, because now I’m up to Rome 3, and now I need to pump infinite workers to produce more clergy, and clergy production costs food!”
After a couple of clerics came out of the cathedral in Rome, they stopped producing more.
“Clergy production is stuck!”
“Joseon! Joseon is completely ahead in resources!”
Food is the basic foundation of all resources.
More food means more laborers, and more laborers naturally increases the rate at which resources are harvested.
Fishing boats also produce food, so the pumping effect of food on the sea map is not something that can be said about them.
-Full Shipbuilderㄷ
-Now, let’s get some more archers!
-We can’t beat a full shipbuilding fleet.
-What is this?
Rome, on the other hand, was running out of resources in turn 3, even though it could continue to draw its own resource pumping feature, Clerics, while Joseon was running out of resources without a resource faction.
[Karak Sun – 25%]
I rush to build a 3rd Age ship, the Karak, but Joseon has already started building 3rd Age troops with Gakgung, etc. and has 2 Panok ships.
[Panjok – Completed]
The second Panjoksan was loaded with Gakgung soldiers and prepared to set sail.
“Alas! This is a perfect operational victory, Cookie! Perfect revenge for game two!”
“Where the hell did this come from?”
“From game 2! That arrow that Almond shot in game 2! It’s like he’s killing the priests in game 3 now!”
“No, you’re preventing them from being born at all!”
“Yes, the cleric birth rate is almost as high as Seoul’s, give me a taste of Joseon!!!”
-That’s a big deal. D
-My arrow pierces the match
-The arrow that ruins the country 🙒
-Information) In 3 games, almonds have never appeared on the screen.
-Dead nuts kill living humans;
The second Panjok ship carrying the archers sets sail.
Chaaaaaaaah……!
It’s different from the first time when there was only one Panjok ship.
Two and one were a completely different story.
Even if an incendiary ship comes out, it won’t come close to you and can be sunk with a good cannon shot.
The two punic ships, side by side, pushed right up to the main Roman island.
