The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 80
29. Revealing Almond’s Origin Story (1)
“Push through! Push through!”
The Joseon Main Force surged into the Espana encampment.
They began climbing atop the countless defensive towers of Joseon.
With so many defensive towers, the Espana encampment could barely be called an Espana encampment anymore.
“Climb! Next tower! Who’s next!?”
“Everyone up!”
With the Joseon Main Force joining in, there was no shortage of talented soldiers to scale the towers.
“Fire!”
Whoosh!
Hundreds of arrows began raining down from dozens of towers.
A few halberds couldn’t possibly turn the tide in a place like this.
There was no way to block every arrow falling from the sky like rain with just halberds.
“Why won’t that one die!? Kill them!”
“Assistant Commander! Kill the Assistant Commander!”
Of course, even amidst this chaos, there were skilled warriors from Espana who displayed their prowess.
Tres took up a halberd and deflected arrows one by one, even managing to strike down several Joseon soldiers with impressive skill.
But Civil Empire wasn’t a supernatural ability game like Ril.
──Thunk!
Eventually, an arrow pierced through his heart as well.
“…!?!”
Tres let out a harsh curse and fell from his horse.
Patter-patter-patter──
As he stopped moving, his horse too became a pincushion and collapsed.
The cruel rain of arrows showed no signs of stopping.
──Thud-thud-thud-thud!
If there were no soldiers nearby to kill, they targeted buildings instead.
Destroying buildings with arrows took considerable time.
But the volume of arrows being fired was so intense it seemed like a flood would occur.
Crack-crack-crack…!
[Collapse]
Buildings began crumbling to the ground.
Buildings at least took some time to fall.
Workers died the moment they appeared.
“Not much left! Fire!”
“Another one! Shoot!”
If not a single worker could function, that naturally led to the death of civilization itself.
Thunk…!
The last worker, summoned from the remaining resources, fell.
It was at that moment.
[Surrender]
Espana’s declaration of surrender had come.
Even though all of Joseon had sensed victory,
the instant those two characters—surrender—appeared, a fleeting silence fell.
‘…Surrender?’
In this moment, every player of Joseon must have shared the same thought.
That perhaps we could win the next match too.
No, that perhaps we could advance to the main tournament this time.
No, perhaps….
If we were blessed with one-in-a-million extraordinary fortune, we might even claim the championship.
All those fantasies and hopes and obsessions surged through their pounding hearts, rose up their throats, and burst forth.
“We won….”
Those softly murmured words became a signal flare.
Everyone released the bowstrings they’d been drawing.
Twang~
Arrows scattered wildly in every direction, yet no one cared.
There was nowhere left for them to go anyway.
“We won! We woooooooon!!”
“Yaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
The roar of the spectators and the cries of the players intermingled and spread in all directions.
As the soldiers embraced and ran about, the defensive towers erected throughout the field trembled and swayed.
As if the towers themselves were volcanoes erupting, with scorching cheers bursting forth like molten lava from within.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
The assistant commanders rode about on horseback, waving their hands toward the spectators.
Some hurled clubs skyward like celebratory fire. The soldiers each expressed their victory in their own way.
Yet among those countless soldiers, there was one who stood out unmistakably….
“!?”
Even in this frenzy, those who witnessed this soldier’s victory celebration could only gape in astonishment.
-???
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (lol/haha)
-That madman… that madman…
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-This is hilarious lol

* * *
After victory was declared.
The red-clad supporters in the stands all leaped from their seats and waved the Taegeuk flag.
“Waaaaaaaaah!!”
“We won!”
Some had even spent money on items, with people sporting shield kites on their backs and flying through the air.
One such person soared into the sky and shouted.
“Great! Korea!”
Boom boom boom! Bang!
The resonant sound of drums answered his cry.
The Espana spectators stared blankly down at the now-finished arena, unable to comprehend what had happened.
Below, Korean players were excitedly embracing one another and waving their hands toward the sky.
The Taegeuk flag fluttered atop the Espana town hall.
“Over the very headquarters of Espana, which once controlled half of America! Our Taegeuk flag! The Taegeuk flag now waves!”
-Huh~
-Lol this game’s direction is insane lol
-That was so satisfying lol
-Wow
-Even Yi Wan-yong would feel national pride from this
King Gul, as expected, sprang from his seat and saluted the flag.
Bang!
“Flutter!”
Yet despite his excessive actions, no one made any comment.
Because someone was taking it even further.
-What is that?
-Huh?
-Is that Almond??
-Insane…
-I had a feeling lol
-Lol no way
-When did he even get up there lol
Upon the roof of the town hall where the Taegeuk flag fluttered.
Almond stood.
“Huh? Isn’t that Almond!?”
“What on earth is this….”
Almond, with a solemn expression, drew his bow.
He aimed it upward.
“Huh? What, what are you doing? Is this a ceremony!?”
The caster, unaware of Almond’s stream, was bewildered.
But King Gul knew.
“Ahhhhh…Ugh! This is!”
But I didn’t give him time to explain.
I released the bowstring.
Whoosh!
The arrow soared high into the air.
The Caster had no idea what was about to happen.
His eyes widened in shock.
“Wha—!?”
──Thunk!
My arrow struck me directly on the crown of my head.
“This is! Aamond’s! Legendary reaction, you see!?”
What the heck is that lol
It’s so funny how King Gueul suddenly switches to commentary while in the middle of performing ㅋㅋㅋ
Why did he suddenly do that?ㅋㅋㅋ
“Ah, I see!? But that’s a sponsorship reaction, right!? But why did he suddenly do it!?”
Even King Gul, who knew about my reaction, didn’t know the exact reason.
“It must mean he’s that excited~!”
“That must be it!?”
Hahahahaha~ Woohoo~
lol
Is this seriously a bounty?ㅋㅋㅋ?
Without knowing exactly what the ceremony I performed meant, the broadcast soon moved on to something else.
“Ah~! Everyone! The rankings for our group are coming up now.”
==== ====
[Group C Rankings]
1. Joseon 2 Wins 0 Losses
1. Rome 2 Wins 0 Losses
2. France 0 Wins 2 Losses
2. Espana 0 Wins 2 Losses
==== ====
Joseon, along with Rome, held 2 wins and shared 1st place in the group.
The Caster cried out from beside me, venting his emotions.
“Joseon! Is charging ahead to 1st place! To 1st place in the group!”
“Ah! 1st place, you say! That Joseon would accomplish this! No one in the organization could have predicted it!”
It would only be temporary, but regardless, they were 1st in the group. Seeing it with my own eyes made it all the more moving.
“No! There’s no other group as cleanly divided as our Group C! But who would have ever thought that in that divided group, Joseon! Joseon would be on top!?”
“Exactly! Once Joseon faces Rome and France faces Espana soon, the hierarchy will be perfectly established! But even now, 1st place in the group! We should celebrate!”
lol
-Ma! We’re 1st in our group~! Huh?!
-Celebrate
-Wow, I’m really moved, but…
And… how did it end up like this ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-If Rome wins, it’ll be absolute chaos
“Ah… just watching makes my lips curl up. My heart is still racing!?”
“Mine too! I can still see that arrow toss moment before my eyes!”
“That shimmering moment! Now! You’ll get to see it again! While the MVP voting is underway! Let’s watch the highlight reel!”
After the group rankings came the highlight reel.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the Korean nation! Our team Joseon’s! Moment of glory!”

* * *
Crash!
“Damn it!!”
Tres returned to the Disworld lobby and slammed his fist against the wall.
“What is this! We lose to Joseon like this!? Nacho! Are you kidding!?”
Tres immediately directed the arrow of blame toward Nacho.
The position of supreme commander did carry the greatest responsibility.
But ordinarily, players didn’t point fingers to this extent.
At least not in Korea, where esports culture had been established for a long time. Spain was different.
“If we get hit by day build! What are we supposed to do? Huh? How long has it been since we lost with first age weapons!?”
Though they were professionals, Western players viewed games as ultimately just games.
Rather than treating it as a complete sport, the entertainment element was stronger.
So when anger flared like this, emotions simply burst out.
“Ha….”
Nacho offered nothing but a sigh in response.
He certainly had plenty to say.
If Tres had properly eliminated that guy Almond as ordered, this might not have happened, and so on and so forth… and all that.
But Nacho had some shame.
Making excuses was pointless when the build difference was already so glaringly obvious.
Knowing this painfully well, he could only swallow his teammates’ anger bitterly.
“I’m the only one who got shit on my face! Damn it!”
Tres continued venting his frustration.
Unable to watch further, Uno spoke up.
“Blaming each other here won’t fix anything.”
“Won’t fix anything!? Won’t fix!? So if we just sit still, it’ll get better!? What won’t get better is the heads of you fancy strategists. Got it?”
“You bastard…?!”
At Tres’s provocative words, Uno also flared up and stood abruptly.
This is the terrifying aspect of day build defeats.
Too many people end up feeling wronged.
Out of 200 people, 180 have no choice but to lose without even understanding why.
And everything ends up being the commander’s fault.
Nacho lowered his head for a moment, running his fingers through his hair in frustration before speaking.
“Disband.”
Boom!
With that command, the room exploded, and everyone was forcibly ejected.
He would probably receive a barrage of curses for the sudden disbandment decision, but for now, they needed to cool their heads first.
[LOGOUT]
After Nacho completely exited the Disworld system.
Hisssss…
He emerged from the capsule.
“Phew.”
At least he had escaped this capsule world.
Yet just as the real world continued turning even when someone died, the internet didn’t stop simply because he left.
The world kept spinning regardless of Nacho’s departure.
His suffering was far from over.
[MVP: Aamond]
He still had to watch Aamond’s interview, after all.
