The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 67
25. Special Mission (1)
Throwing spears to take down cavalry one by one? How absurd could that sound?
Even with blood stains on Almond’s spear, it was hard to believe.
That’s right. She followed Almond purely out of human curiosity.
“You just looked cute. So I followed you?”
Impulse rather than reason.
That’s the kind of person Jesse is.
Thanks to that, the chat volume skyrocketed, and only Almond’s manager became busy.
-@&&@*
-@((!##
-…>>>!$
Jokes crossing the line kept appearing, so she had to keep moderating.
I was wondering why you were following along so well, and of course it was this.
I don’t discriminate between East and West.
-@**@&$
-Is, is this the life of a social butterfly?
Almond stepped in to calm things down.
“Please calm down, everyone. It’s just a translation error.”
Almond spoke words that even a newborn wouldn’t believe without changing his expression once.
Errors seem to be my face ㅠ
Translation failed lol
Yeah ㅠㅠ I trust you ㅠㅠ translator!!!
Who would believe that lol
lol
The chat exploded even more.
Jesse, who interpreted Almond’s conversation with viewers as him being dazed, continued speaking like this.
“Is there really anything to be surprised about…? Your personality is cute too.”
-?? Isn’t that an NPC?
-She ignored what he said but gave a compliment?
That’s a bug, for real.
I really can’t watch this anymore…
Upon hearing that, the viewers were quick to grow angry.
But Almond could no longer pay attention to the chat.
The enemy cavalry had noticed their comrade’s death.
“What!? Why is this bastard dead!?”
They only discovered it now after setting fires at the outposts.
The fellow knights were bewildered.
In war, people dying was a common occurrence.
“…Huh?”
“What killed him? A spear?”
There was nothing that should have caused his death, yet he suddenly fell—it was bewildering.
The only evidence visible was the spear used as a weapon.
“Who is it? Where are they?!”
“Just look at the direction the spear came from.”
“It spun as it fell, so I can’t tell!”
Before I could see where the spear had come from, my position remained hidden.
At least for now.
‘Next time will be different.’
If I threw another spear here?
Then I’d be exposed.
‘What do I do….’
Should I keep throwing even if discovered, or wait for a better opportunity?
I was torn.
As I kept my eyes fixed on the enemies, Jesse asked from beside me.
“Keep going? You’ve already done your part by killing one.”
I hesitated for a moment.
But I made my decision. I picked up the spear again.
“A headshot is worth 1 Gold.”
Leaving only those words, I threw the spear before anyone could stop me.
That’s right.
When you think about earning 1 Gold per headshot, you throw it even if you die right after.
-Just money!
-lol seriously you’re such a tsundere lol
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
──Whoosh!
The flying spear found its mark once more.
Like replaying the previous scene, a Cavalry soldier staggered and fell from his horse.
Thud.
“Woo!”
Clap clap clap!
Jesse was now clapping her hands in delight.
-Spear-throwing cafe date in progress
-Dear God, please let the cavalry wipe them both out.
-ㅠㅠ Reina, you have to see this ㅠㅠ
But the joy was short-lived.
“What?! The bushes! There’s a spear thrower in the bushes!”
“There are two of them!”
As expected, the enemies had caught on this time.
Thud thud thud thud…!
Three cavalry riders began charging toward us.
Jesse asked with bright, curious eyes.
“What are you going to do now?”
Her gaze overflowed with curiosity—wondering how I would navigate through this predicament.
She seemed to believe I had the answer.
“…Hmm.”
Yet I merely touched my chin while watching the approaching cavalry.
I offered no real solution.
‘What do I do?’
I’d thrown the spear without any plan whatsoever.
It was an absurd situation, but the viewers already knew my type—act first, think later.
Did you just throw it!?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Oh my gosh, you scared me! I thought you were preparing something else for me~~ So it’s walnut paste! ㅋㅋㅋ
-This is it! This is the taste of that foolish Nut Fans flavor!
-Didn’t even expect it!
Clop! Clop!
Meanwhile, the cavalry continued closing the distance.
‘Right. That’s it.’
Something flashed through my mind.
Click.
I picked up another spear and spoke to Jesse.
“You throw too. If we both throw, we kill two. Keep killing them two at a time, and we win.”
“…?”
Jesse’s expression became utterly bewildered.
-Is this… a strategy?
There’s no way that’s gonna happen lol
Shut up and spear throw lol
-“It’s simple arithmetic, isn’t it?”
Hahaha, that’s hilarious!
Jesse wanted to protest, but she had no choice.
The enemies were charging.
“Hyah!”
Clop! Clop!
Now less than ten paces away.
“Throw!”
I spoke to myself and threw alone.
“More, throw?”
Jesse threw awkwardly along with me, her question unanswered.
Thunk!
“…!?”
The result: both survived.
In other words, both Knights made it through.
The spear Jesse threw missed entirely, while the one Almond hurled was blocked by a shield.
“…Ah. So that works too.”
Hahahahaha
-Is the cavalry stupid
-Hoo… blocked it?
Most players of Civil Empire overlook one crucial fact: every enemy is a thinking person.
When you hurl a long spear right in front of their eyes like that—and it’s not nearly as fast as an arrow—experienced players can naturally defend against it.
An enemy cavalry Knight lets out a roar of victory.
“Hyaaaah! Die!”
Clop clop clop!
Before I knew it, the enemy had closed the distance and thrust a massive spear forward with tremendous momentum.
A lance charge powered by the weight of the galloping horse.
That’s when Almond demonstrated his ingenuity.
Thunk!
He drove his spear straight into the ground.
With the blade pointing upward.
-Oh!
-Sudden Hodu spin
-This is good
“Dodge!”
Almond and Jesse scattered left and right, rolling without hesitation.
Neeeigh!
The galloping horse tried to stop with a skid.
──Squelch!
The embedded spear didn’t just pierce deep into the horse—it went clean through to the other side.
“Neeeeigh!”
Crimson blood gushed out, and with each thrash of the horse’s head in agony, scarlet sprayed across the air.
“Damn!”
The Knight was thrown from his mount, naturally.
Thud!
Almond didn’t miss the opening and rushed in.
Clang!!
The enemy blocked Almond’s attack with his shield once more.
Quite the skill for someone who’d just been thrown.
A brief standoff.
Their eyes meet.
The enemy Knight spoke first.
“Not even properly equipped, yet you fight well. Are you a Scab?”
Scrap? I have no idea what that is.
“What is that?”
-I don’t know… I don’t know anything…
-What is that lol
-I don’t get it, just die lol
“What? You don’t know? Are you a beginner?”
The Knight and I circled each other, moving in a spiral dance of confrontation.
Meanwhile, Jesse was also engaged in combat with another Knight.
Even though the Knight she faced was still mounted on his horse.
Clang! Clang!
Jesse was parrying his attacks quite skillfully with her spear.
But soon Jesse would be pushed back.
‘I need to finish this quickly.’
Jesse was being pressed, and our allied outpost was already nearly in ruins.
I turned my gaze back to my opponent before me, fingering the weapon hidden in my bosom.
The thug I was facing seemed to take interest in me, lifting his face guard to reveal himself.
“You look like an Oriental. What’s your ID? I’m BigMag── ?!”
──Thunk!
That’s when his vision in one eye vanished.
“I, I’m insane…! What is this? A dagger?”
A dagger it was.
I had thrown my emergency dagger right into his eye.
I’d been watching for any opening to ambush, and when my opponent got caught up in his knight roleplay and lifted his face guard, I didn’t miss the opportunity.
“Wow. He actually lifted it.”
-lmao
-Attacking during his transformation!
-This is the Incheon Landing Operation!
-Yo! Ambush during the introduction. That’s hip-hop.
-lol
While he was blinded in one eye, I thrust my spear forward and drove in mercilessly.
Clang! Clang!
His shield managed to block most of it.
But fighting with only one eye, his footwork balance crumbled bit by bit. Eventually…
Slash!
The joints of the arm holding his shield were cut.
“Damn… damn it…?!”
Without strength, his shield fell away pathetically.
Whoosh!
Not missing that moment, I hurled my spear straight at him.
His hand instinctively reached out to intercept.
Thwack!
My opponent blocked the spear with his bare hand.
Blood gushed forth profusely.
He cried out in fury.
“You—you cowardly bastard!”
Throwing your weapon and attacking mid-introduction—how underhanded.
But this underhanded(?) assault was only the beginning. Almond began hurling additional spears he’d kept in reserve.
“You… you damn fool! Face me with your blade!”
The Knight was struck by spear after spear, becoming a pincushion.
Thunk! Thwack! Thwack!
Hahaha, how many of them are you getting into?
-If it won’t work one way, make it work
-8 spears?!
-Literally 10 spears incoming
Without even a chance to cross blades at close range, the Knight wailed.
“This game is bullshit! Hey, what’s your ID!”
Those were his final words.
Crazy lolololololol
One last thing is lol
Extreme praise lol
Splat.
Soon after, he collapsed, his health depleted entirely.

* * *
The Commander, Department Manager, scratched his head irritably.
“Damn.”
Currently, his situation was far from favorable.
The cavalry that had broken through the spearmen earlier had nearly decimated the forward outpost, and from an entirely different direction, archers were occupying the mountain and continuously harassing the workers extracting lumber.
Like almost every RTS game, losses among workers were far more devastating than soldier casualties.
The enemy cavalry force exceeded 200 gold in total value.
My allied spearmen hadn’t even cost 50 gold.
I never expected them to push forward with such aggressive investment.
“Sigh. I held on too long and got crushed.”
Instead, I had invested heavily in internal development—increasing defensive structures and resource gathering speed—and was just about to upgrade my troops when—
The enemy cavalry, conveniently backed by heavy investment, was executing a single-point breakthrough.
In short, I tried to hold on just a bit longer and got cleanly stabbed for my trouble.
As a result, the enemy archer unit had now occupied the mountain.
How?
Because I’d moved my defensive forces to intercept the cavalry, leaving my main base completely undefended.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The enemy archers were firing arrows, turning my workers into skewers by the dozens.
What really infuriated me was that these archers numbered fewer than ten.
Yet with just that many, they’d successfully penetrated my defenses and, once established, were producing results like this.
My resource gathering rate was steadily declining.
[Resource Score Per Minute]
[2_many_moms: 829]
[Ibamman: 711]
The resource score had reversed.
With the enemy having more troops and now surpassing me in resource score, this was an extremely bad situation.
In Starcraft terms, it was like the opponent was a late-game deity, yet they were pounding me from the early game itself.
In short, there wasn’t a single positive indicator.
So much so that I even received this all-chat message from the opposing commander.
[2_many_moms: you so noob kimchiman~]
Commander-to-commander messages weren’t automatically translated.
Since there was a high probability they’d just be insults, the system didn’t bother translating them.
“Bastard. You’re really living up to your nickname.”
Around the moment my hands and feet started trembling uncontrollably—
“…?”
Commander Ibamman noticed something interesting.
“What are these guys? They killed three cavalry units?”
Two 1-gold spearmen had somehow brought down three cavalry units that I couldn’t even gauge the cost of, and now they were finishing off a fourth.
“…This is it.”
Ibamman saw a glimmer of hope here.
Tap-tap-tap.
My fingers danced across the keyboard, sending commands to them.
[You guys are pretty good. Let’s infiltrate the enemy lines.]
