The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 131
45. The Four Heavenly Kings Return (2)
“Ah! The moment I mention it! Almond has appeared!”
The first archer from Bontovi’s forces had emerged.
[Archer – Aamond]
The archer’s name was naturally Aamond.
That name which had always brought victory to Bontovi.
-Just seeing him is reassuring
-We’ve already won!
-But even alone he can’t break through the wall lol
The appearance time was 4 minutes and 50 seconds after the game started.
It was faster than the average timing.
“This time is also quite fast, isn’t it?! A full 3 seconds faster than average! I tried psychological warfare, but it actually made him faster!”
-lmao
-???: Psychological warfare that fails to break me only makes me stronger
-Bontovi hard carry;
The moment Almond appeared, he charged straight toward the enemy lines.
This was how most games would usually end.
“But!”
But Sharr was different.
He hadn’t invested much in psychological warfare from the start.
His thinking was simple—if it worked, great; if not, so be it.
And he had already thoroughly grasped that Almond would arrive around this time.
“There’s a wall! The wall he’s been preparing since earlier! It’s perfectly timed!”
Sharr seemed to have studied the match between Roop and Bontovi. Roop had gained considerable time by constructing a wall then, and had nearly cornered Bontovi. It was worth referencing.
“Ah. Almond was caught off guard again, wasn’t he?”
Seeing the wall standing before him just like in his match against Roop, Almond scratched his head.
However, the confusion didn’t last long.
He immediately took action.
“He’s not standing around dazed like last time!”
“Yes. This is why experience matters.”
Almond began circling along the wall. There were sometimes gaps when walls were poorly constructed. Or perhaps there were unfinished sections with openings somewhere.
“Ah. But there are no gaps. Sharr had prepared for this from the beginning!”
But there were no gaps.
There were no incomplete walls either.
Sharr had prepared this wall from the start.
Yet Almond remained unflustered and moved to the next step.
He paused briefly and requested something from Bontovi.
“Ah. As I’m explaining! Almond has been given an armband again!”
Bontovi had appointed Almond as the leader of the archer unit. Now he was granted command authority in the field.
“It seems they’ve decided to go with a pyramid formation.”
This was so that I could use my command authority to have the soldiers construct a human pyramid.
I was planning to reuse a tactic I’d already employed once before against Roop.
“It’s not a particularly good tactic.”
Kim Chi Warrior’s assessment was accurate.
It was absolutely not a conventional strategy.
The number of people who could scale it was severely limited, and it was unstable.
Despite this, Kim Chi Warrior understood why I had chosen this tactic.
“You’re probably trying it again because you won with it before.”
Bontovi and my judgment was rooted in past victory experience.
However, in this case, it could actually become a liability.
“A tactic that relies on one individual’s superhuman play doesn’t help even if you win, because you can’t expect that person to pull off such plays consistently. Honestly, as a commander, that’s not a sound decision.”
A single soldier deployed into enemy territory to slaughter workers?
That’s essentially entrusting the fate of the entire war to one person.
However, Kim Chi Warrior also offered another perspective on this.
“Of course, the other consideration is that this ‘individual’ is me. If you have an excellent soldier, using a strategy tailored to their strengths is also a commander’s virtue.”
Kim Chi Warrior even evaluated it as possibly optimal for Bontovi right now.
-Just Almond summoning one-trick lol
Oh no, Bonjingu ㅠㅠ
-???: Help me Doraemon!!!
I had explained the different expected outcomes based on a single choice.
“Wait, so which is it? Kim Chi Warrior?!”
“That’s why commanding is so difficult. No one knows what outcome a choice will lead to.”
“As I was saying! The pyramid is going up now!”
Just as King Gul said, the soldiers began lying down one by one to form the pyramid for me.
“Wow. No calculation mistakes this time? It’s going up smoothly all at once….”
When the pyramid had been built about halfway up.
“Huh?”
King Gul notices strange movement in the enemy lines.
“What, what are they doing? That?”
Suddenly, workers come rushing over. Toward the castle wall where I am.
“Wait, they brought almost half of all the workers!?”
About thirty workers line up at the castle wall on my side.
Kim Chi Warrior also tilts his head in confusion.
“What’s this? I’m not sure either.”
The workers stop running and hold position. Then the castle wall begins to rise.
[Wooden Castle Wall]
[Under Construction]
[12%]
Thunk! Bang!
With so many workers, the castle walls rose in an instant.
“Ah…!”
Kim Chi Warrior let out a sigh of realization—so this was it.
“Huh?!”
King Gul couldn’t hide his shock.
“W-wait… Is that Aamond!? What about Bontovi!?”
“Neither of them has vision. They’re inside enemy territory.”
“A-at this rate…”
I was finally climbing up the completed human pyramid, completely unaware of the situation.
Thud! Thud!
The workers were raising the castle walls faster than I was climbing them.
By the time I finally reached the top of the wall, it was already complete.
“C-can you see it now!?”
“Ah… The cunning part is, I can’t see it from atop the wall!”
I looked down at the city, but the enemy’s scheme wasn’t visible. The newly completed wall lay outside my field of vision.
It was an unexplored area.
“Ah. Neither Bontovi nor I know about this!”
I slowly descended the stairs.
Strangely, there wasn’t a single soldier guarding the wall, but since it was the same last time, I didn’t harbor any particular suspicion.
Even after reaching the bottom of the stairs, I couldn’t see the wall. As I carefully moved my steps to catch the workers, the darkness that had been shadowing my vision gradually began to lift.
[Huh?]
I lifted my head with a blank expression.
I realized that some darkness doesn’t fade no matter how close you get.
It was the shadow of the wall itself.
[What is this.]
I’d clearly crossed one wall, but another wall was blocking my path.
“Ah…! It’s a trap!”
At first, I thought I’d encountered a bent wall. I walked along it for a while. Soon after, I’d returned to my original position.
I was trapped.
“I’ve become Almond who doesn’t know the well!?”
-Lol
-They went this far just because of one Almond??
-That’s straight-up targeting lmaooo
This was a U-shaped wall attached on top of the original castle wall. Like a tumor.
These walls had no doors and no stairs. They were built solely to trap me.
[Sigh.]
I let out an exasperated sigh, then immediately turned and ran backward.
I was trying to climb back up the stairs I’d descended.
But Sharr wouldn’t have left that unprepared.
A soldier suddenly appeared atop the wall and slashed down with his sword.
Snap!
The rope snapped, and the stairs made of rope and wooden planks tumbled down like dominoes.
Crash!
“Ahhh! What is this! The stairs!?”
“It’s a standard feature. We use it to prevent enemies from using our castle walls….”
When enemy forces occupied an allied camp, the stairs were designed to be severed so they couldn’t use the castle walls.
But Sharr had utilized it in this way.
“I’m really trapped now! This can’t be! Did you prepare this? Sharr!?”
“It seems like she responded knowing that Almond would be the first to climb over.”
It was an outright snipe, no longer hidden.
King Gul no longer concealed it.
“Ah! Snipe master! The greatest play! Ambushing thirty workers and castle wall soldiers just to capture a single archer!!”
-Snipe master is the best lolol
-That’s too much lol
-Is this a raid or what lol
Though King Gul spoke sarcastically, the enemy’s tactic worked nonetheless. Almond was trapped. This was a major blow to Bontovi.
“No, is Almond a giant or something!? Isn’t this going too far!”
-Attack of Almond lol
-Really trying to win by gritting their teeth
-This is oppressive
Almond began desperately trying to climb the wall by striking it with his emergency dagger.
However, before long, the dagger couldn’t bear the weight and snapped.
“Ah… I can’t get out this way?”
Meanwhile, Sharr had already launched her cavalry that she’d positioned outside.
Thundering hoofbeats!
“Wait!? Sharr’s cavalry bursts through the castle gates and charges toward the human pyramid! They’re almost here!”
Boom!
The confused archers were swept away by the Age II cavalry that appeared in a surprise attack.
“In Age II where lance upgrades aren’t available and stables can’t be built! How did she produce so many cavalry!? Truly a snipe master! Remarkable!”
-So naturally a snipe master lolol
-Remarkable lol
-Hey! Sniping is a skill too!
Age II cavalry become infantry once their horses die. This is because stables aren’t built in Age II. Without stables, horses cannot be resupplied.
Furthermore, they cannot perform lance charges where they charge and strike with lances. This is because lance upgrades aren’t available.
In fact, the only advantages of Age II cavalry were their speed and strength against archers.
Given their high cost compared to these advantages, Age III is the standard for cavalry.
But Sharr chose Age II cavalry, and that was, dare I say, the optimal choice.
Whoosh!
As the cavalry rode through the archers and swung their swords down, they fell in droves.
The cavalry annihilated the archers near the castle wall and began charging toward Bontovi’s main base.
The main base was in danger.
Bontovi hastily constructed a defensive tower and stopped sending the Archers he was training to Sharr’s main base.
He repositioned them near the village hall and constructed a Spearman training facility.
“Excellent work, Bontovi. You’re responding well! Since the enemy is sending Cavalry now, you’re planning to block them with Spearmen, right?”
Bontovi was doing his best to prepare.
But fundamentally, without Almond, Bontovi was merely an ordinary B-rank Commander.
“Can we really block them like this!? The Spearman training facility is still under construction!!!”
“Ah… I’m not sure. We’ll only know once we clash. But we’ve done everything we can! And for a B-rank, Bontovi’s tactical command in battle is quite good! However…”
Kim Chi Warrior was also viewing the situation skeptically.
It was true that Bontovi had demonstrated exceptional skill in combat.
‘But without Almond.’
Almond was not currently inside that army.
Could Bontovi truly display his tactical prowess even without him?
There was no way to be certain.
“Almond! Isn’t there any way!? We need Almond!”
If only Almond could somehow escape, there appeared to be a way.
The Observer, as if understanding this, zoomed the camera in on Almond.
He was still trapped.
“He’s still trapped! It seems like it just won’t work!”
The camera zoomed in a bit more.
“Huh? He’s aiming his bow? Upward!?”
He was aiming his bow.
Straight up into the sky.
“What is he trying to do? Almond? Is he sending some kind of signal?”
Moments later, the bowstring was released.
Whoosh!
The arrow shot straight up at a ninety-degree angle quickly fell back down.
“Huh?”
Almond removed his helmet and spread both arms wide.
King Gul’s expression grew increasingly bizarre.
“???”
And then—
The arrow struck precisely into the top of Almond’s head.
—Thunk!
“…!”
He was dead.
“!?”
A moment of silence followed.
King Gul didn’t understand what had happened.
But Almond’s viewers had already figured it out.
What? Did someone donate a million won or something? lol
Why are you suddenly reacting to sponsorships lol
Classic reaction lol
That’s right.
Seeing no way to escape, I abandoned my weapons and armor and chose death instead.
King Gul finally understood the situation.
He frantically struck the top of his own head.
Whirrrr!
The propeller spun wildly.
“Fine~~ try to lock me up again!!”
He spread both arms wide like I did and shouted.
“If I kill myself, that’s the end~~~!!”
This came out as the original version lolololol
How is this even possible lol
-???: With just a bow and arrows, I can go anywhere (including heaven)
Why is this so funny lolololol
-Suicide Squad (Physical)
A few minutes later.
I was summoned as a different unit than before.
