The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 79
28. Ancient Joseon (3)
Before the Joseon versus Espana match began.
As always, each community was speculating about Joseon’s win rate this time.
Sure enough, M-bul, which resembled a more professional community, did have fairly serious discussions.
[Long post warning) Predictions of both teams’ strategies]
[Key points Joseon should consider in today’s match]
[Analysis of Spain’s expected strategy]
But there was one large community far removed from such productive discussion…
[Joseon wins once and gets cocky, it’s like watching the World Cup lol]
[Thinking they’ll win again after one victory with Navarre??? Where’s the shame? lololol]
It was ‘Rilpro’.
Here, what was happening was less discussion and more of a roasting session.
[Getting marinated in jamón ^o^]
[Nationalists need to know their place lol]
[Joseon should just be grateful they beat France]
Joseon’s victory over France should be considered pure luck.
We shouldn’t expect victory this time either.
Those making such arguments on one side…
[Want to hang those traitorous Japan-lovers upside down and beat them]
[Spain is more capable than France, why???]
[What do these guys even know about Civil Empire lol, just support them~]
[Spain being capable is a fact, but there are so many cool-headed people here]
Those who think Joseon will win, or believe we should just support them since we know nothing.
These two factions were hurling personal attacks at each other and fighting fiercely.
-Just enjoy it~ you losers, don’t ruin the mood
└Real talk, it’s fun to support them thinking they’ll win even if they seem like they can’t lol
└These guys’ lives are all failures so I understand
└lol just~~~ nationalists who charge in without thinking and bite and suck like mindless creatures
I can’t translate this as it’s not a word or phrase in any language – it appears to be a text emoticon or ASCII art representing a face or gesture.
Clearly everyone was united during the France match, so why did the factions suddenly split?
The issue they raised was that Rilpro wasn’t talking about Ril enough.
[Get rid of those talking about Civil Empire, Manager]
[This is Rilpro, not M-bul]
[Let’s talk about Ril]
Their argument was that talk about Ril had completely disappeared since Civil Empire became popular.
Since it’s Rilpro, we should only talk about Ril.
Looking at the logic alone, it was an argument without any problems.
However, there was naturally a reason why that obvious logic wasn’t working right now.
[Trying to do the Joseon thing again without our room? Not a chance lol]
Before the Civil Empire, Rilpro’s state after the Rild Cup collapsed was absolutely devastating.
[Absolutely not going back to Rilpocalypse]
If the peak of SEVENTEEN’s popularity is better than the days of the close-knit group chat, then big move lol
He’s just stirring up trouble saying Joseon will collapse because he can’t hang out with his friends lol
So the factions that previously dominated Rilpro were spreading chaos, claiming Joseon would lose.
They were displeased that people were uniting around the Civil Empire.
However, these troublemakers couldn’t persist for long.
It was because of the current game’s momentum.
[This is insane, it’s actually breaking in Age 1??]
[Is the game over right now?]
[He’s actually shooting that!?]
As Almond essentially destroyed Spain’s defense tower, the game completely turned around.
Naturally, the community was instantly flooded with posts about this.
The handful of clique-focused factions couldn’t possibly compete with this momentum.
[Almond is a god! Almond is a god!]
[Almond’s form today is insane]
Spain’s only tower of hope lol
[The Tower of Babel that defied God crumbles…!]
“It’s insane how they even kill off the workers coming to reinforce them ㄷㄷㄷㄷ”
[This is the bow of Joseon, who survived next to China, you lucky pirate bastards who’ve been sucking from the Mediterranean honey pot~!!!]
.
.
.
Currently, Joseon is on the verge of achieving victory.
If Joseon truly wins against Spain like this, Rilpro will become completely colonized by the Civil Empire community.
At least during the international competition, it will become a kind of colony.
Rilpro is the largest game community out there.
And it’s becoming a colony of a small game called Civil Empire.
No one could predict how the aftermath of this would unfold later.
But everyone decided to cheer for the current momentum of victory.

* * *
Roooaaarrr!
Piercing through the deafening roar of the massive crowd, King Gul bellowed.
“Spain! Defense tower! Crumbleeeeeee!”
Crrrrunch…!
The moment Spain’s sole hope—the defense tower construction—was cancelled.
Hahahahaha
-My heart just crumbled
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
I shit myself laughing.
-Almond’s form is insane
The chat exploded instantly, scrolling so rapidly it nearly froze the system.
“W-wait, was that just cancelled!? Not on purpose! It just got cancelled, right!?”
“That’s right! And they don’t even get their resources back!! It’s a forced demolition!!”
If you construct a defense tower and then leave it without continuing construction for a certain duration, it gets forcibly cancelled.
“This is because! There was once an era when Mongolia and Joseon’s defense tower rushes became so prevalent, and players would even build and cancel, build and cancel repeatedly to psychologically drain their opponent’s resources!”
Besides Joseon, Mongolia is equally famous for the defense tower rush.
Mongolia frequently employed psychological warfare by building and cancelling defense towers repeatedly.
This exploit made it far too easy to secure victories.
The game developers ultimately had no choice but to implement a patch that cancels any construction that doesn’t continue for several seconds.
Unfortunately, this patch wasn’t solely used to prevent defense tower rush mind games.
“No! Spain was trying to prevent a defense tower rush! Instead, they got hit by the very patch designed to counter defense tower rushes! This is completely a law protecting the aggressor!!”
Looking at Spain’s current situation, they were essentially the victims of their own counter-measure.
A law for the perpetrators lol
Hahahahaha
-“In Joseon, follow Joseon’s laws”
-Criminal law lol
“The hostages are suffering because of a law made to catch day-rushers!?”
“Yes, well! Day-building is a serious crime in RTS! We’re deeply reflective! It’s our first offense! Please give us a break!”
“No! That’s not your first offense!?”
“Ah no! Well! Just! Age 1 is the juvenile delinquency period! Please!”
lol that’s so funny
I can’t laugh that hard lol
-It’s such a stretch but the fact they actually say this is hilarious
It’s hilarious that he’s not a first-time offender lol
-They just ate garlic and became human, so they’re juveniles~ please forgive us~
I’m getting dizzy lol crazy ㅋㅋㅋ
Of course, Spain’s situation wasn’t quite as unfair as the commentators’ comedy routine suggested.
All patches were applied fairly to everyone equally, and Spain knew this rule.
If Joseon had made the same mistake, their building would have been cancelled too.
Spain had simply assumed that their buildings would never be cancelled.
Ultimately, the responsibility would fall on Spain’s Commander-in-Chief.
“Look at Nacho’s expression right now! It’s absolutely flushed red and blue!”
-Nacho turning into a Dorito lol
-For real lol
-Seems actually angry???
It was rare for a Commander-in-Chief to lose control of their emotions.
It seemed they had completely failed to anticipate the current situation.
“From Spain’s perspective without Archers! They never would have imagined this could happen! Who would have thought to toss arrows and shoot them like that!?”
“This was a tactic only Joseon’s Archers could pull off! If either side makes even one mistake, it’s game over!”
“Yes! If you shoot wrong and the arrow gets stuck in the ground at a weird angle! It breaks!? This isn’t easy at all!”
This tactic required perfect coordination between the one throwing the arrows and the one shooting them.
“So! Nacho without any Archers couldn’t even imagine this!”
For Spain, which lacked the Archer unit entirely, this was an unexpected and piercing tactic.
“Ahhh! Joseon’s defense tower is being completed!”
[Wooden Defense Tower – Complete]
Joseon’s defense tower, which Danggeun had been constructing alone, rose up.
Twang!
Twang!
From atop the defense tower, Danggeun began shooting down the Workers at Spain’s slaughterhouse.
Spain’s food resources were dwindling rapidly.
“Food! Food supply is becoming unstable!? The Soldiers dying on the main front right now! We can’t revive them!”
Dozens of Soldiers were dying on the front line where the all-out war was raging.
To revive all of them, food supply obviously had to be smooth, but it wasn’t.
Because there was no slaughterhouse.
But then—
Boom!
[Spain]
[Age 2]
“In the midst of all this! Spain has advanced to Age 2!”
“Spain’s faction weapon, the Halberd, is starting production…!”
-Does advancing now even matter? lol
-Age 2 with only honor left… isn’t this the Invincible Fleet? lollol
-A hollow Age 2
-What if they produce Halberds?
Spain could produce Halberds instead of spears.
Since they possessed the performance of both swords and spears, they were quite a decent faction.
Because spears and swords were both compatible, producing only Halberds in Soldier-to-Soldier combat was sufficient, making troop supply easier—this was their special advantage.
But none of it mattered.
“What good does it do! Even if we produce weapons now! We have no troops to use them!!”
Without food, I couldn’t replenish my soldiers.
All the other soldiers were fighting far too distant to receive halberds.
“Spain! Are you making this decision!?”
“The main force is beginning to turn back entirely!”
[Retreat]
Eventually, they pushed back the front lines and began their retreat.
If only some retreated, the rest would all die instead.
The entire army retreated in unison.
“Even if more than half die! You’re determined to get halberds into their hands no matter what!?”
Even if many died during the retreat, it was a matter of letting only those who could survive do so.
If I could just arm dozens with halberds, the Barbarian Soldiers swinging clubs stood no chance.
That was Spain’s only confidence.
“Now how many die matters!? If they all die, even with halberds it’s useless!!”
Nothing was weaker than fleeing soldiers.
[Kill them all!]
[Catch them! Get every last one!]
Crack!
Thud!
The Joseon Soldiers pursued them, swinging their clubs like madmen.
[Hiyaaah!]
Swoooosh!
The Assistant Commanders rode on horseback, dancing their blades through the air.
No matter how formidable Spain’s combat strength was, they couldn’t fight while wielding close-range weapons and fleeing.
[Ugh…!]
[Erk!]
[Gack…!]
Dozens fell in an instant.
Yet still, the [Retreat] order didn’t cease.
Nacho thought it would be fine as long as he had just 10 soldiers with halberds.
The Spanish Soldiers ran desperately and finally reached the main base.
But another trial awaited them there.
“At last Spain’s warriors have returned home! Ah! But! Is there family to welcome them!?”
“What welcomes them is Joseon’s Peace Arrow Technique!!!”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whiiing!
Arrows shot from 2 defense towers.
I can’t laugh that hard lol
Hey, bye lol
This place is hell lol
[Ugh!]
[Crack!]
[Damn it!]
“Arrows in front! Clubs behind! Which way do you choose!?”
“We’re losing too many soldiers!?”
Had the command structure completely collapsed?
Still, Spain, which had managed to survive until now, began to crumble.
Joseon’s one-sided massacre had begun.
“Joseon! Even their soldiers are pouring into Spain’s base! They’re building more defense towers!”
“Is this Joseon’s camp or Spain’s camp!?”
Seizing this momentum, Joseon began constructing defense towers without restraint.
[Wooden Defense Tower – 1%]
[Wooden Defense Tower – 1%]
[Wooden Defense Tower – 1%]
[Wooden Defense Tower – 1%]
.
.
.
“Ahhh! Following the Joseon soldiers, the workers are rushing in too! They’re going for the finish!”
Workers came charging as well.
They intended to build defense towers even faster.
“All the Joseon soldiers are pouring in! Now there are plenty of soldiers to man the defense towers!!”
-lmaooooo
-there are more defense towers than Spain’s buildings??lol
-insanelolololol
“Spain! Just because you have a halberd doesn’t mean you can overcome this!?”
“I don’t know! Unless Lü Bu is reincarnated wielding the Serpent Spear! This can’t be──”
At that moment, the commentators’ voices suddenly cut off.
“──Uwaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
What drowned out the commentators’ voices was the roar of the cheering section.
The Korean cheering section’s roar.
It couldn’t be helped.
[Surrender]
The enemy had declared surrender.
“Wiiiiin, wiiiiin wiiiiiiin!!!”
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The commentators leaped to their feet, roaring at the top of their lungs.
The chat began experiencing severe buffering.
-King Gul lmao
-wow we actually won!?
-insane lololol
-Lmaooooo
-Scary
-Did he just say raven lol
-Insane
-Hahahaha
“Joseon! Joseon! Even Spain crumbles before us!”
After Caster’s cry, King Gul wasn’t satisfied with just making a wyvern screech, so he threw punches into the air while bellowing.
“Say it again! Spain! What? Joseon is weak!? You’re stuck in Ancient Joseon!!!”
-Insaneeee lol
-Ancient Joseon stuck lol
-Real talk Age 1 is basically Ancient Joseon lol
-Lmao spot on
-Day build stuck lol
-Hahahaha
-Can’t even reach Joseon lol
