The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 186
61. Three Archers (3)
Meanwhile, Pangeo and his group were fleeing for their lives.
“Huff… gasp…”
The moment they escaped the forest terrain, Pangeo’s expression resembled that of a human finally seeing light after being trapped in a cave.
“F, finally!”
They ran desperately and at last entered Persia’s main base.
“Are they following behind?!”
“No!”
The Persian Archers who had been pursuing them to kill them were mysteriously nowhere to be found.
“What’s this? Where did they all go?”
Danggeun remained vigilant, aiming her bow toward the rear.
If it wasn’t the forest, she would have been more than capable of facing the enemies.
However, Pangeo placed his hand on her shoulder and told her to stop.
“No. They probably couldn’t come.”
“Huh…? Couldn’t come?”
Instead of answering her question, Pangeo muttered to himself.
“I see. So that’s what it was.”
“What?”
“Almond.”
“Almond?”
“Almond sent me a signal to go ahead first.”
“…!”
Danggeun and Spam were hearing this for the first time.
So that’s why Pangeo had them keep running forward without hesitation.
“Is that why you made us run without even looking back?”
“Yes.”
No wonder he seemed so reckless.
Danggeun shrugged her shoulders and lowered her bow.
“He seems quite reliable.”
“He’s always come through so far… wait.”
While saying this, Pangeo suddenly drew his bowstring toward the main base.
With exceptionally keen senses, he reacted before the enemy could.
They were hiding behind a wall near some building.
──Twang!
Pangeo’s arrow flew in that direction.
“!?”
The arrow pierced the torso of an Archer who had been aiming at them from a distance, and he fell backward.
However, an arrow also struck Pangeo’s shoulder.
“Damn.”
Pangeo furrowed his brow and muttered under his breath.
“There are defenders here too. About three of them? I only saw two just now.”
“There won’t be many. We just need to win the range battle.”
“Then we break through toward the Workers in a triangular formation. Now!”
Pangeo said this and began sprinting forward at full speed.
Spam and Danggeun ran alongside him.
They ran in a triangle formation, slightly spread apart from each other, each checking different angles.
“Seven o’clock! Full concentration charge from as far as possible!”
“Nothing on this side.”
“Seven o’clock! Two enemies and we’re done!”
“Don’t get careless just because there are two. This is their main base. Let’s establish the order!”
Persian Archers have lower range than Joseon Archers. It’s because of the Concentration faction.
The problem is that it takes 3 seconds to properly charge Concentration.
That’s why this triangular formation has an order.
If three people shoot in rotation, it’s the effect of shooting Concentration every second.
“I’ll go first!”
Spam released the bowstring she had drawn first.
Thwang──!
A threatening arrow.
It didn’t hit, but the enemy hesitated and couldn’t advance.
“Next, Danggeun!”
Danggeun fired the next arrow.
That arrow struck the hesitating Soldier directly.
Thunk!
“Now it’s my turn….”
That one won’t be able to advance anymore.
There were two Persian Archers.
Pangeo was now aiming for the other Soldier.
“Wh…! Mister! Barbarian Soldiers are coming too!?”
But Barbarian Soldiers were rushing forward in front of that Archer.
“…?”
Using the Barbarian Soldiers as a shield, planning to shoot from behind.
‘Damn it.’
You’re going to hit us with an obstacle in front?
Anyone could see the opponent was trying to shoot a curve shot.
They just hadn’t fired yet because the distance wasn’t right.
Thwang!
Pangeo shot down one Barbarian Soldier first.
And the turn rotates again.
“Alright! Firing!”
Twang!
His arrow felled one Barbarian Soldier.
However, the Enemy Archer’s arrows came in rapid succession.
“!”
Thwack!
Two arrows from the Persian Archer flew in quick succession, striking Spam’s flank one after another.
It was indeed a curve shot.
“Ah….”
[Health 12%]
One more hit and I would have been dead.
The Persian Archer’s arrows began firing again, and Spam had to focus entirely on fleeing.
“Spam! Fall back! I’ll….”
Danggeun, next in turn, fired at the enemy, but only the Barbarian Soldiers fell.
The Enemy Archer fired another curve shot.
“Damn. Did those bastards practice nothing but this?”
Danggeun cursed and threw her body backward with a splash, evading the enemy’s attack.
Pangeo observed that attack intently.
‘The accuracy isn’t that high.’
Spam had been hit twice in succession, but the enemy’s accuracy wasn’t always that high.
Pangeo deliberated for a very brief moment.
「You’ve already internalized the feel of shooting at 30, 45, and 60 degrees.」
Cookie had said something.
「After memorization comes application.」
Now it was time to apply.
「I’ll ask Almond to help.」
‘No, don’t do that.’
Pangeo frowned sharply and made a decision.
“You go ahead and run! They’re killing the Workers! Speed is everything in this rush.”
“What? Then─”
“I can hit that!”
Twang!
After saying that, Pangeo dashed forward instead.
‘Is it here?’
Finding a position somewhere.
Skreee.
Pangeo’s hand, which had been drawing the bowstring at its center, moved. The bowstring stretched into an abnormal form.
‘If it’s an angle I’ve memorized.’
Pangeo recalled a certain moment.
‘Perhaps….’
I had memorized angles for each distance, for each piece of cover, and fired before.
There was a line on the field I could use to gauge the distance.
Back then, I could shoot.
The difference now is there’s no line on the field. The cover keeps moving.
And….
[Focus]
Kiiiing…!
Watching the arrow’s tip burn white-hot, Pangeo reconsidered.
The final difference between then and now.
‘Ever since then, I’ve been practicing relentlessly…!’
Paaang──!
The arrow shoots forth, igniting white light in its wake.
The arrow seemed to be heading in a completely wrong direction. It missed even the Barbarian Soldiers, passing far to the side.
A faint smile crossed the Persian Archer’s lips.
He thought he had won and drew his bowstring.
Grrrik─
That was the moment.
──Pwoong!
White light exploded outward, striking his head with tremendous force.
“!”
It happened in an instant.
The arrow he was certain had missed by a wide margin curved back to strike his head.
It took no longer than the blink of an eye.
Of course.
A curve shot fired from Joseon’s Bow infused with 3 seconds of Focus was fundamentally different from Persia’s.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
The Korean audience’s thunderous roar began to engulf the arena.

* * *
The commentators paused to observe the situation at Persia’s main base.
“P-Pangeo!?”
While Almond’s situation was important, ultimately the outcome here was what truly mattered.
Joseon had to block Persia’s lumber production for this rush to continue.
“Pangeooooooooo!!”
That’s why King Gul couldn’t help but jump to his feet.
“Cuuuuurve! Shaaaat!”
-Insane
-Wow
-The angle is art
-Pangeo is the real deal;
-He’s crazy
-Kyaa
-??? How did he shoot that?
“H-How is this possible!?”
“Is that really the same Pangeo who was running penalty laps with the fake national team today!?”
“I-I can’t believe it! So this is what they mean when they say miracles happen if you just keep trying! Is this really it!?”
Pangeo had successfully executed a curve shot.
And at the most critical moment, no less.
“Right now at the main base! There’s not a single Persian Archer left in this area, right!?”
This had been the last Archer blocking the lumber resources.
Beyond this point, they’d have to distribute new bows and train more archers.
“Yes! We’re currently busy blocking other resource points! We can’t come here right now!”
“Ah, Cookie! Really…! The feint strategy! It actually worked!?”
Cookie had first deployed archers to the less critical gold mine and food supplies, forcing the enemy to focus their attention there temporarily.
By doing so, the lumber area had been left undefended.
“Elifer hasn’t even built defense towers here!?”
It appeared Elifer had believed his archers would eliminate all the Joseon Soldiers within the forest.
“Because he deployed something even more important than defense towers in the forest!”
By sending all his Aces and maximizing forest defense, his investment had stopped at that level.
“But a variable emerged right here!”
The problem was that the battle in that forest unfolded in a way completely different from Elifer’s expectations.
“Elifer realized it too late and even mobilized Barbarian Soldiers to try catching Pangeo’s group, but that also ended in one shot just now!”
“Ah! Right! Actually, Elifer’s strategy just now was good, wasn’t it? Using Barbarian Soldiers as meat shields! Shooting arrows from behind! Even with curve shots! Isn’t that a good strategy to win with fewer troops against more!?”
He had tried to defend with his own ingenuity until the very end, but ultimately failed.
“Yes. This is actually a formation Joseon has used before.”
The tactic itself wasn’t flawed.
“Ah. It was the Viking match right before that, wasn’t it? Joseon was almost pushed back at the start! But they survived using this!?”
“Depending on who executes it! And depending on who stops it! The difference becomes this stark!”
It was a difference in player skill.
Without any excuses, I had lost in a pure contest of ability between players.
“Now for Persia’s lumber! The workers are entering hell!!”
Pangeo arrived a bit late, but Danggeun and Spam began firing at the workers.
They were falling at a remarkably fast pace.
Because the two of them were continuously shooting the same worker together.
“If you don’t focus, workers die in two shots! Focus takes time, so just have the two of you each shoot one and pick them off cleanly! Very nice! Very!”
“Lumber per minute! It’s dropping critically!”
“Worker migration!”
“Quickly building defense towers. Can we hold it?”
This situation didn’t result in all the workers dying.
However, resource production suddenly fell far behind.
The lumber production per minute briefly appeared on screen.
[Joseon: 320]
[Persia: 250]
The lumber production that had been similar between the two began to diverge sharply.
“It’s dropped to 250 now. And it’s going to drop more!?”
250, 180, 120… The production rate plummeted.
“Defense towers are going up! Joseon, fall back for now! But the Joseon Archers! They keep coming!”
After the defense towers went up, it became harder to harass them.
However, the difference in lumber resources created a gap in archer numbers.
“Bow production can’t continue! The Joseon Archers just~~~keep! Keep coming!?”
“And they come fast! Elifer must be shocked!? Why are these bastards coming so quickly!?”
The dead Joseon Barbarian Soldiers were returning one by one as Archers.
But their speed wasn’t that of crossing over a mountain.
“They’re not crossing the mountain! They’re being born at the base of the mountain and running up!!”
-lol for real
-this is Nalbit
-damn it feels so good when they respawn
-Joseon Archers over 20 lolol insane
-damn
Joseon filled 20 archers despite Persia struggling to defend and reducing archer numbers significantly.
Moreover, their resupply speed was incredibly fast.
Elifer hadn’t anticipated this aspect.
Normally, dying would require respawning at the main base and walking back, which takes time.
But Joseon’s time was far too short.
“Civil M’s forward barracks is where the real power starts now! The respawn speed is insane!!”
“Elifer couldn’t have confirmed the forward barracks!? But I’m sure he understands now!?”
Elifer probably understood about the forward barracks now, but it was already too late to respond properly.
“If Joseon plays this well, they could actually finish in the 2-minute era?”
“Yes. But we mustn’t let our guard down! The opponent is a master of turtling!”
“That’s… what?”
At that moment, the screen shifts back to Persia’s forest.
“Ah. The moment I mention it, the situation in the forest. Player Almond. Now that I think about it, he was buying time. I wonder what happened…”
“I believe he’s still holding out well.”
All the commentators flinch in surprise.
“!”
“What? Player Almond?!”
