The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 113
40. Smooth Sailing (1)
While waiting for the matchmaking to find an opponent, King Gul and the viewers watched a newly uploaded short video.
[Why the World Bows Before the Korean Bow]
After the video began.
The soldiers, following Almond’s command, approached the castle wall and began to lie down.
There wasn’t a single lie in the title. Almond was holding the Korean bow known as the ‘Gakgung,’ and mercenaries from various nations around the world were lying down at his command.
Haha, so that’s what it was lol
-As expected
Why is this so funny lol
-Surprisingly, it was actually real;
Why is it real again lol
Thus formed a human pyramid, built one by one as they lay down.
Almond climbed over them one step at a time.
Finally, when I reached the very top.
[The East Sea waters~ and Mount Baekdu~]
The national anthem began to play, and before long, the Taegeuk flag was composited and fluttered behind Almond, who had now climbed atop the castle wall.
The short video ended there.
“No, you did it like this!?”
Lol Chinese movie vibes
-The Taegeuk flag size is overwhelming;
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
“We all know Almond didn’t climb up that easily!”
The scene where Almond struggled to climb the castle wall due to a miscalculation was edited out as if it never happened.
Instead, it was naturally depicted as if I had climbed the wall and was looking down upon the entire world.
“Ah…! Ugh! Uuugh!”
At this moment, Kim Chi Warrior made a strange sound.
-Is someone beating that person?
What’s with the laughing soundㅋㅋㅋ
Lol, he’s got good taste. Seems like this is the kind of content he’s into lol
I can’t translate this as it’s not standard Korean text – it appears to be corrupted or garbled characters.
The strange sound turned out to be laughter.
The video seemed to be right up their alley.
“By the way, to make this right after finishing a game. Editor, it seems like you’ve been collecting all these sources and just waiting for the right moment to strike. That’s impressive!”
Right? Haha.
lol
-National pride on 5-minute standby
Taegeuk flag macro lol
Thinking I’d spent enough time, King Gul ended the video.
“Yes… That was very good. Kim Chi Warrior, you’re still laughing? Is this your taste? Your name isn’t ‘Kimchi’ for nothing, is it?”
“Ah, ugh… No, actually. I hate that kind of nationalism.”
“?”
-??
-?
-Huh?
A flood of question marks followed Kim Chi Warrior’s statement.
“You say it with your mouth, but your body’s honest, isn’t it? You choked while laughing.”
-Just let it slide lol
-As expected from the Kimchi Warrior lol
-Lmaooo
“That’s not what I meant…”
“What do you mean it’s not!?”
Kim Chi Warrior tried to make excuses without backing down, but King Gul wouldn’t hear it.
“Ah… no… that’s not it…”
At this point, King Gul changed the subject.
“Anyway. Kimchi. Do you have feedback for Almond?”
“Ah, yes… We should definitely go over Almond’s feedback.”
“What about Bontovi? It seems like there’s a lot to cover.”
“Bontovi is… sigh.”
Kim Chi Warrior answered with a sigh instead.
King Gul laughed knowingly at this.
“Ah~ Yes. I understand. I was a pro too, after all.”
Even if he wanted to give Bontovi feedback, it wouldn’t be useful right now. Besides, since he wasn’t even going to use him as a player, there was no need to waste energy giving him thorough feedback.
[Almond has entered.]
“Ah, while I was speaking! Almond has arrived!”
Almond entered the Discworld channel where the casters were.
“Welcome, Almond!”
King Gul greeted him warmly, as this was his first time seeing Almond on Discworld since the post-match gathering after the Nant match.
“Hello.”
Almond returned the greeting warmly, and Kim Chi Warrior came down from the casting desk to begin feedback with Almond while reviewing the map.
I couldn’t understand everything being said, nor did I need to, so to summarize roughly.
The general conclusion of the feedback was this.
“Sometimes dying would actually be more beneficial in this situation.”
They were telling Almond to die when the time came.
“Of course, that situation didn’t arise this time, but if the war had dragged on… continuing to hold out and survive there would have been a poor choice.”
“Ah…”
Almond nodded for now.
“Yes. It’s better to die and then respawn as an archer upgraded in the Third Era, or some other unit type.”
“Ah… I see.”
-Ah…(I see)
-If he didn’t hear it properly, I’ll bet my peanuts on it.
-I’ve seen that expression on Nut Fans before during Zombie School lessons
-Soul empty
Almond was listening with genuine focus, but the viewers were teasing him based on his usual image.
Kim Chi Warrior continued his explanation without paying them any mind.
“Just like in actual warfare, this game isn’t really about fighting with soldiers—it’s about fighting with gold.”
It’s the fundamental principle of RTS.
If you have resources, soldiers keep flowing out, but if you lack resources, even a battle that looks like an immediate loss can be completely different when you actually calculate the gold.
“Always think about the damage you’ve inflicted and convert it to gold. And if it seems adequate? If you can switch to a better upgraded unit type? Then it’s good to execute a sacrifice strategy and let them die.”
Essentially, he was saying that once you’ve gained an advantage, switch to a better unit type.
This is when King Gul chimes in.
“But for beginners like us, that calculation is hard to figure out, right? Could you show us an example?”
“Ah. Then let me convert the damage Almond inflicted into gold.”
Kim Chi Warrior nodded and began creating a table showing the damage Almond had dealt.
Since the match had already ended, all the data was available, making the calculation convenient.
“So, 28 workers… 1 Veteran Knight… and 2 minutes of resource freeze…”
-28 workers lmao
-He picked archers but got a tank!?
-That’s insane.
“Roughly speaking, just converting gold alone gives us 300 gold.”
“Three hundred gold?”
“Yes. And if we calculate the snowball effect from preventing lumber collection, or the actual value that Bontovi caught up with during the resource freeze time… we can say it’s worth around 400 gold.”
400 gold is a substantial sum.
“Isn’t that almost like buying a fortress? A fortress is normally 400 gold if I remember correctly.”
A fortress.
It unleashes firepower equivalent to 20 defensive towers combined, and with upgrades like cannons and boiling oil, its potential is much higher.
It’s the ultimate defensive structure in this game.
And its price is 400 gold.
“Yes. In Civilization mode it varies by civilization, but in Basic mode they’re all the same—400 gold. So… that’s right. He inflicted damage equivalent to one fortress. The game was essentially decided right there.”
Oh my god, almonds are seriously amazing ㅠㅠ
-So he might as well have died lolol
-He blew up an entire fortress…
-My heart swells with pride.
“Wow. So Bontovi hired Almond for 3 gold and destroyed the enemy’s 400 gold?”
“Exactly.”
[Yuljuyi donated 10,000 won!]
[You said it was feedback, so why are you only praising? Our Gul wasn’t like this during his pro days! Argh!? It’s me!]
“Ah~ Yuljuyi. Thank you for the generous 10,000 won donation. Since you’re my fan, you might not know, but feedback doesn’t necessarily mean criticizing and tearing down!”
-???: But the opponent is me…
-Is he the same as King Gul lolol
-Because I played well!
Chat floods in with donations asking why I’m only giving praise.
I’d successfully drawn their aggro.
King Gul shifts the topic.
“Alright, everyone. Settle down. Shall we start the next game?”
King Gul asks while looking at Almond and Kimchi.
Both nod their heads.
“Then while we anticipate an even more advanced performance from Almond, let’s queue up!”
-Yaaaaaay~~~
-gggg
-So entertaining
Please come out, troll ㅠㅠ
Who’s the next sniper? lol
The first promotion match had been quite close, and there were plenty of good battle scenes, so many viewers were anticipating the next game.
However, they were forgetting something.
In truth, Kim Chi Warrior had prepared only one strategy from the start until now.
If that strategy succeeded, the game would end so anticlimactically easily.
[Opponent found!]
“Ah~ Found them quickly this time! Let’s go right in!”

* * *
About 10 minutes later.
King Gul shouts.
“Zzzzz~~~!!! Ah! So simple and beautiful! Almond wins!”
A second promotion match victory claimed in an instant.
-Is this even a game?
I was really looking forward to it lol, but the 4-drone won lol
-Ah… This was always how it was…
The opponent never anticipated the fast archer rush at all. After about half of his workers were caught by Almond, he immediately left the game.
Of course, he didn’t forget to curse.
[donsala: Real Time Stradegy? MY ASS!]
(Real-time strategy game? What a load of crap)
This was always what happened when you fell victim to the so-called ‘early rush,’ so by now Kim Chi Warrior, Bontovi, Almond, and everyone else were used to it.
King Gul was no exception.
“Ah~ Player Donsala! You’ve inserted real-time strategy into your rear end. Living up to your name. Yes, I support any preference.”
King Gul deliberately mistranslated the English in an absurd way to defuse the situation.
I can’t quite make out the exact meaning of this text as it appears to contain typos, slang, and onomatopoeia that are unclear even in Korean. The “ㅋㅋㅋㅋ” represents laughter. Could you provide more context or clarify the original text?
-King Gul declares GG on specific preferences;
What are you doing translating that lol
Where the hell are you putting it?
-Why did the name suddenly change lol
Countless objections flooded the chat, but King Gul dismissed them lightly and moved on.
“Alright. Now there’s just 1 win left until promotion! 1 win! Just one more win and we’re heading to A-rank!”
[Opponent found!]
“Matched again right away!? Come on in!”
This was the final match of the promotion series.
The opponent was a commander with Japanese nationality.
He too hadn’t anticipated the Fast 2-era Archer and began to struggle.
He had built one defensive tower, but this was Almond—the one who had slaughtered 28 workers while dodging 5 defensive towers.
One defensive tower was practically nonexistent to him.
Almond began displaying dazzling movement around the defensive tower.
“Almond! Rush forward! Shoot and retreat back inside, then when workers come out, rush forward again and shoot! Summer mosquito movement! Incredible!”
-Summer mosquito;
-Almond the mosquito Count
-Wow the other side’s about to get destroyed lol
Workers fell one after another, making the defensive tower’s presence feel almost embarrassing.
“Isn’t he going to surrender!? I’d surrender if I were him! I’m losing my mind! Is this Japanese craftsmanship!? Danaka! Just surrender already!”
-Tactical retreat lol
-Suddenly Danaka route lol
Why are you telling me to leave ㅠㅠ
Yet the opponent continued to hold on.
“Stop stalling and surrender! Almond needs to reach A-rank! Now, when you surrender, please exit with a ninja sprint!”
-His merciless tongue in Japan… so sexy.
-That’s too much lol
-He’s beating him down lol
The Japanese commander endured Almond’s attacks. He seemed to think that if he just held on long enough, it would eventually end.
However…
[Bontovi: Noob]
(Pathetic)
He couldn’t withstand Bontovi’s attack.
[Surrender]
Finally, the opponent’s surrender came through.
“Ahhhhh! Bontovi’s finishing blow!”
At last, he had won even the final promotion match.
“Yesssss! Yesssssss!!!”
King Gul jumped to his feet.
“Almond! Bontovi!! We’re damn well promoted!!!”
Countless messages began flooding the chat.
-Congratulations congratulations congrats
-It actually worked
The last two rounds are seriously lol so damn ridiculous promotions lol
“Seriously, he’s climbing ranks like a dog, just like the saying goes lol”
Lol, that’s ridiculous/crazy
-This is… a sharp build, isn’t it? Any complaints?
I can’t translate this as it’s just a repeated consonant character (ㅊ) without forming actual Korean words or meaningful content.
.
.
.
The heat was palpable even through the chat window. It wasn’t just the viewers who were excited.
“YAAAAAAHHHHH!!!”
Even Kim Chi Warrior, who was usually quite composed, suddenly let out a wild cry.
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ (lol/haha)
-That ‘YAAAAAAHHHHH’ contains all of human emotion…
-?
Hahahaha
After the game screen disappeared, King Gul and Kim Chi Warrior’s Discord channel came into view.
King Gul continued excitedly.
“Wow! That was truly amazing! We actually made it to A rank today! When I first encountered that sniper, I thought we might not make it today! Honestly, I did! What about you, Kim Chi?”
“I, I never doubted it! I was certain the players would pull through! I was confident!”
-?
What’s up?
-Fact) He wasn’t confident in the players.
“Ah! So you were confident!? But you seemed quite surprised earlier?”
“No, I wasn’t surprised—I was in awe!”
“Anyway! Now that we’ve reached A rank, let’s take a quick break and hear what the players have to say.”
If the casters were this excited, what about the players?
When King Gul invited them to Discord, Bontovi and Almond entered simultaneously.
King Gul seemed particularly eager to hear Bontovi’s thoughts, addressing him first.
“Bontovi! You’ve finally reached A rank for the first time in your life! How does it feel? Tell us!”
