The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 96
33. Joseon’s Secret Weapon (3)
“Let’s go. Run!”
Ten archers began sprinting while holding a long ladder overhead.
Thud-thud-thud-thud──
From this point on, even if Rome’s Commander was watching, there was nothing he could do about it.
I could only hope he wouldn’t pay attention to this area for a moment.
“There!”
“On three, flip the ladder up!”
“One, two… three!”
The archers at the very front simultaneously pushed the ladder upward as if hurling it.
Those holding the top of the ladder released their grip first, followed by those holding the center.
Whoosh──
Only those holding the bottom continued running and immediately braced the ladder against the wall.
Thud!
“Climb! Climb!”
Those holding the bottom shouted frantically while gripping the ladder.
If the ladder was held like this for over ten seconds, it would then register as installed and no longer needed to be held.
In other words, until then, it had to be held this way.
Almond grabbed the ladder first to climb up quickly.
“Almond! Why are you going up!”
“?”
Pangeo pulled him back.
“Ratte, you go first!”
“Yes, huh!? Why!?”
“Just do as I say!!”
Pangeo gave Ratte a shove on the rear and sent him up.
“Ugh… are you trying to kill me again?”
The first archer to climb up had a high probability of dying.
“Alright, next is Spam!”
Spam, climbing second, was large and stood out visibly.
That meant he would die in Almond’s stead.
“Alright, Almond, go now!”
Pangeo intended to protect Almond while sending him up as quickly as possible.
By his judgment, Almond was the best archer here.
“Alright. Next is me. The rest, figure it out yourselves.”
Pangeo’s turn came right after Almond.
Since Almond would eliminate everyone ahead, he could survive—or so it wouldn’t be.
As a Leader, he lied to himself that it was to coach his ace from beside him.
-The rest, figure it out lol
From next time, could you keep the order stable? lol
“The older guy’s directness is so blatant that it’s actually charming lol”
I’ll survive no matter what, that’s my mindset lol
And so all ten archers began climbing the ladder.
Fortunately, it seemed Anto hadn’t noticed yet, as no one interfered during their ascent.
“Phew.”
The archer unit succeeded in getting every last one of them up onto the wall.
They found the internal staircase leading down from the wall and began their descent.
“There’s no one here? I guess they didn’t see us.”
Ratte muttered excitedly as he led the way down the stairs.
“Even Anto can’t watch every area simultaneously.”
Pangeo agreed.
Anto seemed unprepared for Joseon to launch a counterattack.
The commentators, who had been observing the 6 o’clock position and Rome’s main base, shifted their attention back to this area.
[Ah, all ten of them are now past the wall and moving well!? Anto didn’t see them?]
[It seems Cookie sent them so suddenly that he didn’t notice!]
[If this works out, Joseon has a real shot! If Cookie neutralizes this area and takes the 12 o’clock sector too!?]
[Of course, Rome is also increasing their forces in the 9 o’clock region… but still! Good news!]
[They’re almost down the stairs now!?]
The staircase was nearly finished.
“I’ll go down first~!”
It was when Ratte quickly bounded down the remaining steps in one leap.
──Thwack!
“!?”
A spear suddenly flew from the shadows behind the staircase and pierced through.
Archers typically wore light armor.
The spear tore straight through the breastplate and came out the other side of his body.
In that moment, an enormous roar erupted from the Roman audience.
“Waaaaaaa!”
[Wh-what!?]
[They were lying in ambush!?]
[No, we couldn’t see them here either! Not even from above!!!]
Since they were hidden beneath the stairs, the commentators couldn’t see them either.
[Observer! Go down! Get down there!]
At the commentators’ words, the observer brought the camera closer to the soldiers’ position rather than viewing from above.
The perspective shifted to the Joseon soldiers descending the stairs.
“Th-there are enemies!”
Spam, who was in the second row, cried out in a loud voice.
“I’m going first!”
He bounded down the stairs like a bird in flight.
I spun around and fired an arrow in one fluid motion.
Twang!
[No! Spam just pulled off a fadeaway shot!?]
[Spam! Despite that bulky frame, he’s incredibly quick…!]
The arrow Spam fired while spinning his body in an instant.
Unfortunately, it was blocked by Ratte.
“?”
Thunk!
“Ugh…argh!”
The enemy had deliberately used him as a shield to block it.
“D-damn it, Ratte!?”
“I-I thought I’d die first… shit….”
Thud.
Ratte was completely dead.
I can’t translate this as it’s not a meaningful Korean phrase. It appears to be random consonants without vowels, which doesn’t form valid Korean words.
Latte ㅠㅠㅠ
Wow lol
[Unfortunately, it was Ratte who took the hit! The enemy used Ratte as a shield!]
[T-that’s not teamkill, right!? Ratte just died from continuous bleed damage!]
Pangeo, still on the stairs above, leaned his head down and shouted urgently.
“Sh-shit, what!? What’s down there! Spam!”
Spam couldn’t hear Pangeo’s words.
In such a dire situation, there was no way anyone could hear clearly.
Twang!
He fired another arrow, striking the Roman Soldier’s head beyond Ratte’s corpse—which had now become exactly that.
“Gasp!”
The Roman Soldier’s head snapped backward.
But—
[Ahhh! He survived!?]
He merely snapped his head back lightly.
And soldiers who had been hidden in the shadows behind emerged.
Spam’s eyes widened in shock.
‘How many are there?’
At the base of the stairs, in the shadowed space, nearly twenty Roman Soldiers were waiting.
In their hands were the ‘pilum’—Rome’s distinctive throwing spears—and massive Legion shields capable of covering their entire bodies.
This was Rome’s third-era military force.
The pilum had low durability at its tip but was incredibly sharp, piercing through almost any armor.
They were already flying toward me with perfect aim.
‘When did—!?’
Whoooosh──
Spam couldn’t react in time.
It had all happened in mere seconds—he’d shot at the enemy’s head, the enemy survived, and then a spear came flying from behind.
It was a killing blow, inevitable and certain.
That is, unless a projectile suddenly knocked the spear off its trajectory.
──Crash!
“!?”
The spear clattered suddenly to the ground.
Thud.
A black shadow fell before Spam.
[Ah, Almond!! Like a dog appearing out of nowhereeeee!!!]
It was Almond.
ㅋㅋㅋ (laughing)
That eardrum killer is creepy.
-This is insane
Showing up like a dog lol
-Pretty cool though
“Heavy Infantry! Twenty!”
Landing from above, I immediately relayed the information to Pangeo.
In a flash, I drew an arrow and fired it at the enemy.
It was the blink of an eye.
Boom!
The head of the Heavy Infantry at the front snapped backward violently.
The same posture as when Spam had shot earlier.
But the result was different.
Thump…!
This time, struck in the eye, he collapsed and died.
“!?”
The Heavy Infantry behind him froze.
‘That bastard… he just shot a flying spear.’
‘How can he shoot the eyes so quickly?’
Boom──
The ground on the Roman Soldiers’ side caved in.
The Heavy Infantry at the front kicked off the earth and charged forward.
“Charge! Settle this in close combat!”
For an archer, close combat was naturally the way to finish things.
Fortunately, these fools were walking right into it themselves.
“Engage!!!”
Just a few more steps and their blades would be within reach.
[Ah! This is way too close!?]
lol
I shouldn’t have gone down.
-Oh no
ㅠㅠ (crying face/tears)
Both the viewers and commentators were on edge.
But Almond was different.
“Spam.”
“Yes. Ham!”
“You can do this.”
“Yes!”
Spam had an exceptionally short time between draw and release.
If shooting at long distance, accuracy might suffer, but….
‘At close range, it’s different.’
Almond immediately flattened his upper body and ducked low.
Whoosh!
The blade licked past his back, scraping it ever so slightly.
The eyes of the opponent wielding the sword widened in shock.
“!?”
Behind the crouching Almond, Spam’s figure emerged.
Screech!
Concentration faction fully gathered.
A gakgung infused with full concentration faction pierces even heavy armor.
Especially at such close range, it was far easier.
Thwip—
Spam released the arrow.
——Boom!
The heavy infantryman’s head flew clean off, blood erupting in a spray.
[The charging soldier was killed instead!?]
-Whoa
-Insane
-Wow
-Crazy
-!?
[But! There are more soldiers coming!]
[Now it’s a full-on melee! Can archers even fight like this in such chaos!?]
The charge wasn’t from just one soldier—the next one immediately raised a hammer toward Spam.
‘Concentrate….’
This time, Almond, who had stepped aside, had already drawn his bowstring taut.
Thud!
An arrow lodged into the man’s temple.
White light smoldered softly from the arrow.
…Thud!
The opponent crumples, still holding the hammer in striking position aimed at Spam.
“That one first!”
The next Soldier charges at me, targeting me.
Whoosh!
A mace swings through the air.
‘I need to focus my concentration.’
I draw my gakgung and retreat backward.
Boom!
The floor where the mace strikes cracks open.
At the same moment, an arrow burning with white light embeds itself deep into the Roman Soldier’s head.
Boom!
This time it’s Spam’s arrow. While I’m charging my concentration, Spam handles it.
“There’s another one here!”
The Heavy Infantry crumbles pathetically, and another Soldier emerges from behind the fallen one.
“Graaaah!”
A blunt weapon swings horizontally.
‘Huh?’
This time it’s too close. Retreating to dodge is impossible.
‘Then.’
I close the distance instead, pressing in close.
Whoooooosh──
Following the rotation radius of the blunt weapon, my feet cross and my body spins.
─Click!
Before I know it, I’ve seized his back.
“What!?”
The moment he turns in shock, what awaits him is an arrowhead burning white-hot.
Keeeeing…!
“!”
Pupils dilated in horror.
The arrow enters and embeds itself within.
Boom!
[He killed again!?]
[How is he fighting like this with a bow!? It’s like a sword duel at this distance!]
[Behind! Behind you! Almond! Behind!]
-Like he can hear that lol
-What’s King Gul doing lol
-Why’s it so pathetic lol
There’s a Soldier thrusting a sword at my exposed back.
However—
Whiiiiing!
An arrow shot by Spam grazed past my shoulder.
──Boom!
[Behind… But! Spaaaam!]
The Soldier’s head was pierced through, and he collapsed backward.
-I can’t breathe
What’s up with Teample lol
-Is this Joseon 3rd era!? Is this Joseon 3rd era!?
-The gakgung is insane fr
-Wow
Damn, haha
At this point, the Heavy Infantry charging forward hesitated.
“…W-what.”
“What is this.”
There was no advantage in hesitating against those wielding bows.
Rather, this moment became an opportunity.
“Now is the time! Fire!”
The Joseon Archers on the stairs, who had finally built up their concentration to the end, released their bowstrings.
Pabababang!
Streams of white light poured down onto the ground in torrents.
Boom!
Boooom…!
[Right now arrows are being fired from the stairs too! The Roman Soldiers are almost completely wiped out!?]
Those who failed to raise their shields in time all had their heads pierced through and died.
Those who raised their shields upward were struck by arrows from me and Spam and fell.
The spectators who had been holding their breath burst into cheers.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Though it began with an Enemy ambush, the battle was a complete victory.
[In this battle variable, Joseon was completely overwhelming!]
In the first engagement where Joseon and Rome properly clashed, Joseon achieved victory.
A small victory, but one with great significance.
King Gul became even more excited because of this, thrusting his face at the camera and shouting.
[What!? It seems like close combat can beat archers!? This isn’t Maple!]
Maple lol
-King Gul’s head is huge fr
I’m dying laughing
-In Maple, King Gul’s proportions are Maple~
Hahahahaha
Lol, but if you get close to it, it suddenly hits you with an arrow.
Now the counterattack was beginning.
