The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 59
21. The Black Plague (2)
Almond runs with determination, crossbow in hand.
[Suppress Enemy Gold Mine]
A large mission objective flashes prominently in his field of vision.
Likely, all the archers running beside him have been assigned the same mission.
“Just penetrate the enemy lines! We’re going to land a big catch!”
Pangeo shouts from beside him.
He’s doing his part to rally the morale of our forces.
CivilEM national team matches share so many similarities with team sports.
The moment focus wavers, we get pushed back relentlessly.
This is why we need someone like him.
Then it happened.
So many figures appear that it feels like a dark cloud is rolling in.
“Graaaaaaah!”
The Barbarian Soldiers of France emerge, roaring menacingly.
Their roaring serves the exact opposite effect of what Pangeo had done.
This too has tactical significance.
“I-I’m losing it…”
“Damn. We’re blocked.”
A few archers are seized with fear.
No matter that the Barbarian Soldiers only wield clubs, their numbers are overwhelming.
The raw feel and sense of presence
I can’t translate this accurately as it appears to be incomplete or uses non-standard Korean text/abbreviations that don’t form clear words.
lol
“Blocked my ass! Just shoot! You can’t block arrows with bare bodies!!”
Pangeo roars at the top of his lungs.
The archers begin nocking their bowstrings.
Among them, one figure already at the front had fully drawn their bowstring.
Creak…
Almond’s eyes sharpen as he targets each enemy head one by one.
‘The first shot matters.’
I recall the words Cookie once told me.
‘It determines the army’s morale. Make it the most brilliant, the most precise.’
The moment my bowstring fully draws, I release instantly, nocking the next arrow in one fluid motion.
Thunk!
“Gack!”
At that same moment, a Barbarian Soldier of France’s head snaps back and he collapses.
Twang!
Another arrow has already been loosed, piercing through another head.
Thwack!
“Ugh!”
Another Barbarian Soldier from France falls.
Whoosh!
Literally in an instant.
-Whoa
-Damn
-Wow~
Four arrows fly in rapid succession, and four Soldiers from France collapse dead.
‘Insane.’
‘Wow…!’
‘We’re breaking through this.’
No matter how many Barbarian Soldiers they have, we’ve got an Archer on our side who shreds four of them in the blink of an eye.
“Fiiiire!”
In response, Pangeo lets out a fierce roar.
Whoooosh──
Countless arrows from Joseon paint the sky.
Moments later.
──Thud thud thud thud!
The Barbarian Soldiers fall under the arrow barrage.
Then someone on horseback charges through, shouting.
“Crush them all on this side too!”
The mounted figure is Coffee, the sub-commander.
He charges forward, bellowing at the top of his lungs.
“Archers—eliminate them all!”
“Yaaaah!”
Joseon’s Barbarian Soldiers begin charging forward.
France’s Soldiers quickly kick aside the corpses of their fallen comrades to fill the gaps.
“Hold the line! We just need the Knights to arrive!”
Contradictory orders echo across both camps.
“Break through! The stronghold is right ahead!”
Joseon’s first full-scale assault begins.
Nearly a hundred Barbarian Soldiers charge forward.
Toward the same formation as the arrows.
“Yaaaah!”
“Break through!”
──Boom!
The two forces collide head-on.
White-clad Joseon club-wielders and blue-clad France club-wielders begin their melee.
Crack!
Thwack!
A dull sound reverberates across the battlefield.
“Arghhhh!”
“Die!”
“Move!”
Even amidst the chaos, the Archer unit provided fire support with perfect precision, targeting only enemy forces.
“Don’t shoot straight ahead! Aim for the rear! You’re hitting our own people!!”
Hitting our own people doesn’t mean they die, though.
The arrows shatter before reaching the enemy.
It’s just wasting time.
Whoosh!
Arrows trace steep arcs through the air, beginning to fell the Frank Soldiers positioned behind the front lines.
Thwack-thwack-thwack-thwack!

* * *
King Gul shouts excitedly.
“Half water, half meat with every shot! Yesss! Civilization Battle Mode is so fun!”
Trying to block archers with a club in front of them—the Frank side’s situation was truly pitiful.
Just as he said, they were dying half from arrows, half from something else.
“You’re not England!? You don’t have shields! Get out of the way!”
King Gul shouted excitedly, his voice booming across the field.
In soccer terms, this was like being on the verge of scoring in the first half.
“If we break through here, Frank will really be in trouble!”
Even if only a few Archers survived and penetrated the enemy lines, they could inflict massive casualties.
That’s why both sides fought desperately.
Countless clubs clashed as both forces engaged in brutal combat.
“Ahhh! But! The Frank players are really fighting well!”
“Just as expected of European civilization! It’s harder to break through than I thought!?”
Ugh, damn it ㅠㅠ
-Please just die already
-Wow they’re so damn tough
-They’re so persistent
-Jin Young’s formation is really well set up
No matter how many they killed, the organic coordination continued to rapidly fill the gaps.
Frank’s Players were systematically blocking the entrance well.
Here, Joseon launches another charge.
All the Barbarian Soldiers remaining in the rear ranks stamp down on the enemy lines once more like hammers.
[Push forward!]
Boom—!
The two forces collide once more with tremendous force.
Now’s the moment.
A gap had opened in the enemies’ defense.
“A gap! There’s a gap opening up!!!”
The gap was already beginning to close.
The archers, save for a few, began to charge forward.
“What!? Even the archers are rushing in!”
“This is our last chance!”
A true all-out war.
It was a desperate struggle between those determined to break through the gap and those determined to seal it shut.
[Hyaaaah!]
Crash!
Finally, one Joseon soldier pushed through the gap.
Spam, the bulkiest of the archers, forced his way through at the front.
But as the Frank soldiers blocked him, he became wedged.
“Ah! They blocked him already!? But, wait! He’s stuck!?”
“No… this isn’t a bug, is it!?”
Spam, completely wedged between the soldiers.
Could this also be called a gap?
“An archer is stuck! Can’t we somehow push him through there!?”
The Frank soldiers began striking his backside.
Thwack!
Smack!
Spam cried out as he was pummeled.
[Aaaah! Almond, ham! Come on!]
Upon receiving the signal, Almond dashed forward in an instant.
“What, what’s he trying to do!? Almond, the only one left shooting arrows, is also charging!”
“Is the situation that desperate!?”
I thought Almond was also putting force into his charge.
But it was different.
Whoosh—
He jumped toward Spam.
“He’s, he’s jumping!?”
Bounce!
Almond launched himself into the air, using Spam’s back as a springboard.
“Almond!?”
—Thud.
He landed perfectly inside the enemy lines.
King Gul let out a shriek.
“Kyaaaaaaah! He got through!!”
Pterodactyls are funny lol
-Holy crap, that’s insane
-This is seriously going to cause some damage??
That’s crazy/insane.
“One Archer at this timing!? This is huge!? We don’t know what’s going to happen to the Workers!? Ah, the Frank Fast 2 era Archer is absolutely wreaking havoc!?”
“And that Fast 2 era Archer is none other than Almond!”
“That’s right! Almond isn’t just a Fast 2 era Archer! He’s the medieval plague!! All the Workers are dying!!!”
Plague Mond lol
Lol the Black Death medieval plague hahahaha
Medieval Corona is crazy/insane
King penguin lol lol lol
The Black Death lol
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (lol/haha)
-Europe’s destruction
Haha, pfft lol

* * *
After Almond, one more person managed to break through the defensive line.
It was Pangeo.
“Hey! Let’s go together!”
Pangeo shouted from behind as he charged forward.
-Wow, Uncle Pangeo!
-Ooh
You’re following me, wow.
One person breaking through was already a headache, but now two had gotten in.
Commander Frank’s pings were going off frantically.
Several of the enemy Barbarian Soldiers abandoned their defensive positions and gave chase.
“Kill him! The enemy Archer got through!”
They targeted Pangeo, who had started running late.
However, Almond’s bowstring was already trembling with tension.
Whoosh──
“Ugh!”
──Thunk!
Almond’s arrow embedded itself directly in the center of the forehead of the Soldier at the very front.
He tumbled to the ground and collapsed.
“Ugh…!”
Those who came after all fell in the same way, struck by arrows in the same spot.
Thwack!
Thwabang!
One man blocked Almond’s arrow with a club.
Clang!
“Ha! You’ve got some decent shots!”
But now that Pangeo had breathing room, he drew his bow alongside me.
“I’ve got one too! Headshot!”
Thwack!
Pangeo’s arrows embed themselves in the Soldier’s torso—two shots.
“…!?”
“Gotcha, you fool!”
The Frank Soldier, who had been raising his guard to protect his head at the word “headshot,” stares at Pangeo with an expression of utter bewilderment before collapsing.
-Lmaoooooo
-Is this guy a trickster?
-Kyaa~
-Doesn’t this mean they’re going in??
-This game is going so well
Pangeo now sprints back toward where Almond is, shouting at full volume.
“Excellent! Excellent! I’m alive! Let’s head straight for the Workers!”
“Yes!”
Commander Frank could no longer afford to dispatch Soldiers to pursue them.
If he sent any more, his final defensive line would collapse entirely, and the Joseon Soldiers would pour through unopposed.
In other words, Pangeo and Almond had achieved an unopposed entry into Frank’s main base.

* * *
King Gul let out a roaring cry.
“Frank! Emergency!”
-Player entering~
-This is actually an emergency situation?
-Kkkkkkk
-Wow, can they actually win this??
King Gul wasn’t the only one whose voice had grown louder.
The spectators watching through the All-Dive system erupted in excited cheers.
“Waaaaaaaa!”
Though their numbers were few, their roar was tremendous. The situation was overwhelmingly favorable to Joseon right now.
“Both players need to stay calm right now!”
The Caster urges the players to maintain composure.
“If Almond and Pangeo can eliminate enough of the Workers mining gold here! We might not see Knights at all!!!”
“Right! Knights require money to appear! They won’t show up just for honor!?”
If they can kill enough Workers here, they could completely shift the entire game’s momentum.
Or perhaps even end the game entirely.
“But! Frank has also constructed defense towers in his current position! Originally these were built to counter Joseon’s early tower rush! But they could still block our advance!?”
The problem is the existence of the defense tower that the opponent had built, deceived by our strategy.
Near where the Workers are mining gold, a tall wooden tower stands visible.
“Ah…! Can two archers really defend against a defense tower!?”
“No! In this situation! We need to go around it! Even if it takes a bit longer, we circle around! We have to ensure we deal damage!”
Humans cannot stand against buildings.
The only solution is to circumvent the defense tower.
“But the soldiers won’t be able to see it from ground level, right!?”
However, since the soldiers are observing from the ground, they still cannot determine the defense tower’s location.
“The commander-in-chief needs to ping well so we can avoid it! Joseon’s support commander can use Hawk’s Eye to briefly illuminate the vision, right!? We can spot the defense tower with that! Then we just go around!”
Ping…! Ping…!
At that moment, the Joseon commander-in-chief’s pings began appearing.
They were pinpointing the defense tower’s location based on the Hawk’s Eye’s vision.
“Ah! Just like King Gul said! The defense tower is getting pinged!”
“With this, the soldiers can take the longest possible route around it!”
They were able to navigate around the defense tower and head toward where the workers were located.
Such a route was being drawn out.
Thump…!
[Royal Knight – 1%]
A knight begins production in the Frank faction.
“No! King Gul! But they’ve started producing Royal Knights!?”
“What! How did they gather resources so quickly!?”
King Gul’s eyes widen as he glances around frantically.
“Ah! Right now! They sacrificed food resources and sent workers with gold!”
They had converted some resources into gold instead.
“If they sacrifice food, won’t there be problems replenishing fallen soldiers!?”
“There will be! There will be, but! One Royal Knight is worth ten soldiers! That’s a good decision. Well done, Frank!”
“Ah! Now at 3%!!”
[Royal Knight – 3%]
With Commander Frank’s good judgment, Royal Knight production has begun.
That’s not all.
[Basic Archer – 63%]
Bows are already being produced.
One person destined to become an archer is rushing to the weapon production facility.
“Archers are coming out too!”
Frank’s archers were weaker than Joseon’s crossbowmen, but they could manage basic base defense.
“They can defend the main base by moving between the town hall and defense tower, right!? The mindset is just to hold out until the Royal Knights arrive!”
“Ah…… Isn’t this falling behind?”
Joseon’s position had become quite precarious.
“If we can’t suppress their gold production, more Royal Knights will keep coming out! Eventually, the advantage of reaching Age 2 first disappears!”
“It all becomes meaningless!”
If they cannot prevent knight reinforcements, all the strategy built up until now loses its purpose.
That was when it happened.
Ping!
[Route Changed]
Cookie’s planned route had shifted.
“What!? Did Cookie notice too!? The route has changed!”
“Could there be a clever play here?”
“But something feels off!?”
The route was heading straight toward the opponent’s defensive tower.
King Gul realized it wasn’t just the route that had changed.
Ting──!
[Attack]
“Not a bypass ping! An attack ping!?”
An attack ping was marked on the defensive tower.
It was an order for both archers to attack the tower.
“If we neutralize the defensive tower, we won’t need much time before we can start pressuring them! This should definitely work…!”
“Is it possible!?”
“Almond has to do it!”
-So it comes down to Doraemonde after all~~
-Cookie = Lucky Bontovi lol
-No lol
-Can this even work?
-But the judgment call is pretty good, this might be the only option
