The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 109
38. Scaling the Wall (2)
At that moment, in the EMbul community.
They all gasped at my strategy and flooded the forums with posts.
[Wow, that’s ruthless]
[What did I just witness]
[That’s absolutely savage]
[Predator-style wall scaling lol]
Even for these veterans of the game, it was something they could never have imagined.
I mean, who would think of stacking humans like a tower to climb the wall alone?
Crossing alone would be pointless anyway, making it a useless tactic.
But then──
Suddenly, posts like this began appearing in the community.
Haha but I can’t reach it lol
I made it like a pyramid lol
Calculation mistake lol
[anyone see his hands not reaching right now?]
Ah, that’s hilarious, almonds lol
Those who had been shaking their heads at my ruthlessness now burst into laughter again, watching me struggle at the top with my hands unable to reach.

* * *
I began climbing the wall.
“Finally, I’m going over this wall!!! Final… huh?”
King Gul suddenly gasped.
“Ahhhhh…!”
A problem had occurred.
I had reached the very top, but my hands couldn’t reach the edge.
“It’s too short! Don’t we need more people? It’s farther than I thought!”
I thought it was because we didn’t have enough people.
“No. We have people left over?”
There were archers standing idly on the ground watching us. If I had used all of them, I could have climbed higher.
“Ah…! I designed the pyramid wrong!”
Kim Chi Warrior was also dumbfounded, mouth hanging open. King Gul had no words either.
We had extra people, but I had built the pyramid incorrectly.
The walnut issue lol
A calculation mistake? Here?! lol
I’m crying so hard / This is a total mess
“Ah, no, it’s like solving a 4-point SAT math problem perfectly and then getting basic arithmetic wrong at the end… something like that!!”
I was exactly that type of person—possessing unexpected creativity but lacking computational ability.
I hadn’t calculated how many people needed to be stacked, so the height fell short.
But people remain.
Kim Chi Warrior speaks urgently.
“W-we need to hurry across! If the enemy notices, they’ll build more defense towers.”
If the enemy commander noticed, they would immediately construct defense towers near our walls.
Fortunately, the enemy commander Roop hadn’t paid attention yet. He seemed far too busy advancing into the 3 o’clock era.
“Should we rebuild the pyramid!?”
“Ah, no. No matter what, we probably don’t have time for that.”
Even if we’re busy with 3 o’clock era progression, there are limits.
The odds are high we won’t have time to rebuild the pyramid. We need to solve this somehow right here.
“If we just manage it right, we should be able to climb up!”
The Observer zooms in closer on the scene.
The soldiers’ complaints can be heard.
[Ugh… it’s shaking! Move faster!]
[What are you doing!]
[You crazy bastard! Did you miscalculate!?]
Since this was a game, only the balance wavered—if it were real, someone might have collapsed from exhaustion.
Attempting this again in such a short time was impossible.
Hahahahahahaha
I’m dying laughing lol
That’s fucking hilarious lolololol
[Sorry.]
Almond stands straight at the very top, then suddenly offers an apology.
Regular viewers of Almond’s stream would have known.
-What is he trying to do
-Nut Fans offering an apology!?
The world is doomed.
Then, Almond gave a slight bounce, moving up and down once.
He kicked off the pyramid he was standing on and leaped upward.
Boom!
From the impact, the human pyramid swayed greatly and finally collapsed.
[Ahhhhhhh!]
[You crazy bastard…!]
[Ugh!]
Though he received a mountain of curses.
Snap—
Almond’s hand grasped the edge of the fortress wall.
“Player Almond’s hand has made contact!”
Finally, he pulls his body up and succeeds in climbing over the wall.
“Wow! He finally made it! He made it up!”
and lol
-He’s actually doing this
-But how’s he supposed to climb up alone…
Unlike King Gul’s jubilant cry, reality was merciless.
“But… what do we do now?”
The enemy’s city, viewed from atop the city wall.
What awaited me were countless defensive towers.
[Completed]
[Cathedral]
And then, the Cathedral that had just been completed at that very moment.
Boom!
[Age 3 – Seongjoo Era]
The enemy had entered Age 3. Right after, a worker popped out and began constructing a Knight School.
[Knight School]
[Construction in progress… 5%]
“The Knight School, where you can recruit elite troops—Knights! It’s going up, folks?!”
Once those buildings are completed, Knights will start appearing.
“What happens when Knights appear! Kim Chi Warrior!”
“Knights have incredible defensive capabilities against non-explosive ranged attacks. Unless you hit the seams in their armor, arrows won’t deal any damage, you see.”
“Ah. I see….”
King Gul’s expression darkened for a moment.
No matter how skilled I am, I’m not sure if I can hit the armor seams of charging Knights.
I’m not confident about it.
Even if I could hit them, unless it’s a vital spot, the damage would be minimal. Besides, Knights even have bonus damage against archers.
They were simply an opponent I couldn’t handle.
As a Caster, I decided to search for any glimmer of hope.
“But couldn’t this actually be an opportunity?”
-King Gul’s at it again.
Let’s see what they say, guys haha
“And here we go again trying to make a strict argument lol”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
Kim Chi Warrior asked in confusion. What opportunity was he talking about?
“Well, isn’t it true? The Knight School is still ‘under construction’?”
“That’s correct.”
“It hasn’t been completed yet! And on top of that, it’s being built right where Almond can aim at it!”
“!”
A point Kim Chi Warrior hadn’t considered.
It wasn’t mere nonsense.
“Uh… now that you mention it. Is it within range?”
-?!
-King Gul wasn’t wrong!?
-NG
Almond’s arrows could reach all the way to the Knight School construction site.
“Exactly! The range of a Joseon composite bow is incredible, and you can shoot even farther from the top of the city wall, right!?”
“That’s correct. You can shoot roughly 20 to 30 percent farther.”
Kim Chi Warrior, who had been roughly measuring the distance by counting on his fingers.
“It really should reach, but… the angle isn’t quite right. I’d have to shoot between the wooden pillars of the construction site and…”
Almond didn’t give Kim Chi Warrior time to finish his explanation.
Twang!
The bowstring was drawn taut on the enemy’s city wall.
“Whoosh—”
A release executed without a moment’s hesitation.
—Whoosh!
The arrow traced a great arc through the air.
His posture was so still that if not for the sound, you wouldn’t have known he’d even fired.
“—!”
Thunk!
Just as King Gul finished speaking, a Worker’s head was pierced clean through like a skewer.
The arrow had penetrated perfectly through the construction site and sniped the Worker with precision.
“!”
The exhilaration of an arrow fired at nearly maximum range finding its mark perfectly.
That sensation became a thrill that coursed through everyone’s skin.
“Kyaaaaaaaa!!!”
King Gul trembled like a person struck by lightning and cried out.
“I-It hit! From that distance! At that angle! A perfect strike to a vital point!”
-Wow
-Legend…
-Insane for real
-Did that actually hit??
[Knight School]
[Construction in progress… 17%]
The Knight School construction had come to a halt.
“The Knight School construction stopped! We need to send more Workers! Roop!”
-?
-Player?
-King Gul currently possessed by official Caster mode
King Gul, now fully fired up, was commentating so enthusiastically that he couldn’t even tell if he was casting the tournament or a ranked solo stream.
Roop sent three more Workers.
A clear determination to build it.
“Three Workers! Three of them coming! This means you’re definitely going to build it, right!?”
“Ah… normally three Workers can finish in about 15 seconds…”
“So that makes three now….”
At that moment, my arrow launched skyward once more.
Whiiiing──
Flying across the distance, it landed precisely on another worker’s crown.
──Thunk!
“No, two of them! If it’s just two, how much damage is that!?!”
The reason King Gul’s eyes bulged wide open.
──Thunk!
Another worker collapsed.
I had fired two shots in succession.
At a speed even the casters couldn’t catch.
-Hahahaha
-How much damage lol
-Lmaooo
Now there was only one worker building the Knight School.
He deliberately ran between cover toward the Knight School.
──Shiiing!
“Curve shot!”
My arrow slithered like a serpent, hunting down that worker’s nape.
Thunk!
“Down! All additional workers eliminated! Who’s building the Knight School now!?”
The Knight School remained unfinished, with only the construction site standing bare.
“Bankruptcy! The construction company building the Knight School has gone bankrupt! It’s just like the stocks I bought! It won’t go up!”
-Lmaooo
-Wait, is the game really turning around?
Why don’t you just build the knight school somewhere else, Roof? ㅠㅠ
“We’re not sending any more workers now. Commander Roop. What’s happening?”
“I think even if we take a loss, we won’t build the Knight School at that location.”
“Ah. In this game, if you cancel mid-construction, you barely get any money back, right?”
“Especially for buildings. The Knight School is particularly expensive… it’s a huge loss.”
With tears in his eyes, Roop sent workers to the opposite side to begin building the Knight School.
“The Knight School is going up again. Almond, what will you do? It’s completely on the opposite side of the base.”
“I can’t touch that anymore. Almond will need to find another way to inflict damage.”
“Right. Just delaying the Knight School won’t end the game! Before the Knights appear! We need to do something!”
King Gul eagerly scanned the enemy base, wondering what I could possibly do to win.
Me, alone infiltrating the enemy base.
Countless defense towers blocking my path.
King Gul was flustered.
“There are so many… way too many defense towers? Can this even work!?”
While there were no defense towers near the fortress wall where I stood, they were densely positioned between the workers and critical structures.
“I’m not sure either. But regardless, Almond is the only one who can deal damage right now, and the Enemy has just entered the third age—this is when they’re at their weakest.”
I began descending from the city wall.
“Huh?! Almond! Are you going after the Workers?! What about the Defense Towers?!”
There were over a dozen Defense Towers blocking the path to the Workers. Even a single one was enough to keep an Archer at bay.
No matter that they were only tier-one wooden Defense Towers, getting hit by them still dealt considerable damage.
Kim Chi Warrior added his commentary on the dire situation.
“Since Bontovi hasn’t upgraded ranged defense yet, pushing through the Defense Towers could be difficult. You’d die in just three or four hits.”
“Ah… so getting through all of those would be…”
“…normally impossible.”
“Normally?”
Kim Chi Warrior spoke with a hint of knowing, as if he already understood what I was about to do.
But moments later.
Tap-tap-tap-tap!
As if answering his expectations, I charged toward the Defense Towers without a moment’s hesitation.
At full speed.
“Whoa?! Just running straight in?! He’s charging! No hesitation whatsoever!”
My target was the Workers mining wood.
The target of countless Defense Towers was me.
Boom-boom-boom-boom!
Arrows rained down from all directions.
