The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 200
66. Shield Fast Archer Rush (3)
To the commentators’ eyes, it happened in an instant.
Almond pulled himself up on the ladder, firing arrows while practically hanging there, and then Pangeo rose up behind him, unleashing a curved shot.
The enemy’s arrows landed only about one shot on Spam’s flank.
Fwooosh!
Arrows flashed and rained down, and before anyone knew it, all three archers on the fortress wall had fallen.
Even for an ordinary person’s eyes, it was too fast to follow each moment.
“Waaaaaaaaaa!”
The audience erupted in cheers, and the commentators screamed.
“No!? They all died!? And from below the wall!! Shooting upward!?!”
-???
-What?
I can’t translate “-ㅁㅊ” as it’s not a complete word or meaningful Korean text. It appears to be just consonant fragments. Could you provide more context or the complete word/sentence?
-3rd floor, dying again?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Huh?
“Almond! And! Pangeo!! Magnificent!”
“Joseon Forces! The entire ladder unit survived!? They’re all climbing up now!!”
The Joseon Forces had reversed the situation and were now occupying the fortress wall that surrounded Persia.
“The fortress wall has become Joseon’s! You might think of the ancient wall as protecting the main base! But it’s really just terrain!?”
“Ah! This isn’t protecting me at all! It might actually be watching me!?”
“That’s right!”
lol
That plot twist is terrifying.
-It was The Sixth Sense~
-They’re imprisoned
“This is completely a prison! A prison! Joseon Forces are now looking down on Persia!”
“Joseon is saying it!? You’re locked up!!”
Hahahahahaha
-You’ve been kidnapped…
-For real
-But can they reach from the wall?
-Damn
The situation was indeed like that.
The Joseon Forces could freely run across the fortress wall, while Persia had to evade them instead.
“Ah. Persia! You’ll have to deploy the Barbarian Soldiers after all, right?”
Unable to keep them on the fortress wall any longer, Persia had no choice but to deploy the Barbarian Soldiers as well.
“They’re supposed to be spread out hunting right now! But they’re being used to breach the wall!!”
[Gather]
[Breakthrough]
Around twenty Barbarian Soldiers gathered and began charging up the stairs.
Their numbers were overwhelming for Joseon.
However—
“Ah. Barbarian Soldiers alone won’t cut it!”
The Joseon Archers positioned on the walls began firing indiscriminately, leaving them helpless.
Thwack!
Thunk!
While the Joseon Archers couldn’t pull off curve shots, their straight aim was second to none among any civilization, and they dropped enemies left and right with headshots in mere moments.
“When you shoot from above, it’s all headshots! Almost! Persia! Are they all going to die like this?!”
The Barbarian Soldiers had to retreat before they could even attempt a breakthrough.
[Retreat]
Ding.
The retreat order finally came down, and the Barbarian Soldiers pulled back shortly after.
“We’re retreating! Otherwise we’ll be annihilated!”
“Ah. This is really going to be frustrating, isn’t it? Persia!”
“Yes. So we’re not giving up here! We’re coming with some Archers!”
“There are even Spearmen! We’re going to break through properly!”
“This should break through, right?”
Other unit types joined alongside the Barbarian Soldiers.
“Even if it breaks through, Joseon gains quite an advantage. If Persia’s plan to rush straight to the 3rd Era gets disrupted like this, it falls apart.”
Producing different unit types before the 3rd Era was already a burden.
Persia was already suffering significant losses in many areas.
“But if we leave this alone, we’ll take even greater damage! We can’t give up on this!”
Yet Persia couldn’t just leave the Joseon Archers roaming freely on the walls.
If they continued running around up there, the Workers mining lumber would be in danger.
“Exactly! If they move toward the lumber resources and shoot from that wall, the arrows could reach them! Then we’re really in trouble.”
It was within range if they shot from the wall. Especially with a focused faction buff active.
“Ah. The walls are supposed to provide protection! But now they’re demanding protection money!”
Hahahahaha
-Are they gangsters
-Gangster archer rush lol
lol that’s so funny
-Protection money is your life
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
“So right now Persia! We can’t pay protection money! War on crime! Elifer just declared it!”
“Yes! Persia’s prosecution forces! This time we’ll break through! We’re charging up the stairs again!!!”
-So they became prosecutors lol
-Joseon’s first villain in history lol
Haha~ Here come the players~
Persia gathered their forces at the stairs once more and charged forward.
Two archers and one spearman, roughly twenty barbarian soldiers.
A far superior composition compared to before, yet still numerically overwhelming against Joseon’s forces.
“This should break through, right?”
“Yes. Though it’s not a situation we can simply eliminate by shooting… Huh?!”
Persia dominated in both troop composition and numbers.
But there was one thing where Joseon held absolute superiority.
“But Joseon!! They’ve completely sealed off the staircase entrance!?”
Terrain.
[Blocking the stairs with shields]
Thud.
The shield bearer stood at the very front, completely blocking the staircase entrance to the rampart.
[Front-line volley from behind shields]
Three archers behind him unleashed volleys directly at those ascending.
Twang!
Twang!
[Rear-line volley from atop the wall]
The remaining three stood upon the rampart.
From there, they rained arrows down upon the enemy reinforcements streaming upward.
“H-How are they doing this!?”
“Ah! I thought they’d be useless once they climbed the wall! But they’re utilizing the shield bearer again!!”
“The barbarian soldiers are already falling!”
“Persia! The spearman is charging recklessly!!”
The thrusting spear was stopped cold by the shield.
Boom!
-Unknown: Next!
-Slow
-Weak
After the spearman, the archers behind also loosed their arrows, but the shield deflected the incoming projectiles as if swatting them away.
“Ah! The shield…!”
“Isn’t the shield bearer Mok-i the player right now? He’s practically immovable!”
Even curve shots proved useless.
[Curve shot warning]
Unless they were the Three Archers, curve shots were clumsy at best, and besides, Joseon had dedicated personnel specializing solely in shield work, coordinating with orders.
Mok-i stretched his shield out like a goalkeeper.
Boom!
An arrow that had been turning back embedded itself in the shield.
“Another sunbaaang!!”
-Wow
-Insane
-??
-What is this
That’s crazy lol, he really made a great save
-Does that mean shield defense?
“Curved shots won’t work! I can’t break through this!?”
“Joseon’s saying it! If you want to come in! Bring a warrant!”
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (lol/haha)
-Kyaa
-As expected, the age of romance, era 2
While the entrance remained sealed, Joseon’s counterattack began.
Boom!
One Persian Archer burst into white light and fell.
“Almond!! You took out the archer precisely!?”
It was an arrow shot by Almond from atop the wall.
“Oh! Be careful─”
The remaining Persian Archer immediately targeted him in retaliation, but.
──Ting!
“!?”
His arrow struck the wall and fell pathetically.
“Be careful… there’s no need for that! That’s what I was about to say! The angle just doesn’t work from down there!!”
Due to the bow’s characteristics, shooting upward from below rarely produced good angles.
Meanwhile, the Persian Archer’s attempt to target Almond came at a steep price.
“For daring to target Almond! The verdict….”
[Attack]
Thwack!
Arrows from both Danggeun and Ratte struck the archer simultaneously, and he fell immediately.
“Execution!!!”
Bang!
Whether it was because of his forceful verdict or something else, all the Persian Archers ended up dead.
The tension went crazy lol
-If there was a cam I’d bet my wrist his face was filled
Hahahahaha
Did Joseon really fight that well? Wow.
Death penalty lol wtf lol
“Wow! Joseon!! They’re overwhelming! Persia can’t even move right now and they’re about to be blocked again!?”
King Gul added an explanation to the Caster’s exclamation.
“From the Persian Archer’s perspective! Shooting upward from down there like that! It’s not easy!”
“Angle! It’s because of the angle!”
“That’s why the old saying goes ‘the importance of angles’!”
“Ah! There’s nothing wrong with old sayings! How many people die because of angles!?”
I can’t translate this as it’s not a coherent Korean word or phrase – it appears to be random consonants without vowels.
When was that, lol
-The wisdom of our SNS ancestors~
I can’t translate this line as it appears to contain corrupted or nonsensical Korean characters that don’t form valid words.
I’m dying laughing
That’s not the right angle, lol
“If you have an Almond-level face, angles don’t matter much! But for them, it seems really important! Right now!?”
That’s not it lol
It looks really important lol
-Info) The one who really matters is King Gul
Hahahahaha
Fact: If you’re really ugly, it doesn’t matter just the same.
Arabs are good-looking though lol
Was it really because angles were that important?
The moment the two Persian Archers fell, this rush crumbled just as pathetically as before.
Even with one Spearman mixed in, they couldn’t land a single blow against the shield bearer.
“Even if you pour in dozens of melee soldiers, it won’t work! It’s already impossible to break through!”
“A single shield bearer is truly a mountain! A mountain!!! It’s become a real divine move! Alone they can’t do much! But with cooperation! It’s just impossible!?”
The current battle seemed to demonstrate just how much a single shield bearer could frustrate the enemies.
“And! Like I mentioned before!? You can’t think this fortress wall is protecting us!”
“Ah, yes, that’s right!”
“If this were a wall they built themselves, they could just construct stairs elsewhere and connect them!? There’s no need to struggle like this trying to break through a blocked entrance!”
That was true.
If it were their own fortress wall, they could easily build stairs in another direction and connect them.
They could climb those stairs and fight on top of the wall with the same geographical advantage.
But this wall is neutral. It’s just terrain, belonging to no one.
They can only use the stairs already built, and can’t construct additional ones.
“Rather, if they could just build a wall and jump over it! But with Age 2 technology, they can’t even build a wall like this!”
They couldn’t construct a building of this height.
You need to reach Age 3 to build fortress walls of this height.
In other words, this wall belongs to no one.
It protects no one, and could even become a turret shooting at yourself.
Daisunsin Choi understood that point well.
“Map utilization! Unit composition! It’s truly incredible! When I first saw them attempting an Age 2 rush on this map! Honestly! Honestly! I thought the Commander had lost their mind!”
King Gul genuinely thought so.
He thought a rookie commander could easily do that.
She lost her first match on debut, and her coordination with the soldiers was at its worst.
And the next match she played was on a map where her specialty—early game harassment—was difficult.
If she lost here, Joseon wouldn’t make the quarterfinals and would be eliminated.
All this weight rested on her shoulders now.
She could have lost her mind.
“But looking at it now! She had a perfect plan!”
However, that was King Gul’s misunderstanding.
She was actually commanding her soldiers far more skillfully than when she first appeared.
“As if she’d been waiting for this moment! Shield soldiers positioned in front! Archers assigned to target the ladder! Others to provide support! Deployed in perfect order and achieved complete, absolute tactical dominance!”
“Yes! Exactly! And these shield soldiers! They’re a masterstroke! They weren’t just used on the ladder! They also blocked the stairs later! Truly excellent value for the troop investment!!”
-Is she really showing this?
-For real, insane
-Cookie and her style are pretty different from the start, the soldiers couldn’t keep up
-Is this a show and proof?
-Using marines to specifically counter lurkers lol
“Because of this, the food supply gap between Joseon and Persia is widening significantly now. It can’t be helped, right?”
“Yes. How many soldiers who should be hunting are dying on those stairs right now? They’re bound to run out of food. The Stairway of Lamentation—no, the Stairway to Heaven!”
-Stairway to Heaven lmaooo
-???: what is this supposed to mean
-lol
Persia, having sent countless soldiers to heaven.
They ultimately gave up attempting to climb the stairs.
“Ah. So Persia is just giving up?”
With this, the top of the fortress wall was completely under Joseon’s control.
“The moment I say this! Joseon archers are climbing up the fortress wall on ladders! And now the newly arrived archers! Are running toward the area with timber resources!?”
Joseon archers were even being reinforced by climbing ladders up the fortress wall.
So the archers who had been blocking the stairs were now free.
They could now move to contest the resources.
“The hellish resource denial is about to begin!?”
“Now heaven ends! Hell begins! That’s it!”
-The trap is it’s all hell anyway lol
-lololol for real
-Both are hell lmao
“It’s like finishing that blood-vomiting third-year of high school and entering university! Then thinking, uh~ now I have to go to the military? That’s the feeling right now!”
-lololol
-oof damn
-But that’s actually happening…
I’m crying / I’m so sad
-military~
“So, they’re moving right now. What happens if Joseon’s attack range reaches the timber workers?”
“Ah. Then no lengthy explanation needed. In one phrase: hill tank! They just become a hill tank!”
“Ah… that sounds like big trouble!?”
“Yes. And it will probably reach them? With the fortress wall bonus plus focus fire, it’s more than enough?”
Hill tank.
A strategy from the classic RTS masterpiece StarCraft.
It was a strategy of positioning long-range tanks on elevated terrain and unilaterally pummeling the opponent with relentless fire.
Korean gamers had absolutely loved this strategy.
Because of it, countless players of other races suffered from PTSD, and eventually every map and terrain had to be patched.
Yet in Civil M, where tanks didn’t even exist, that very strategy was being implemented once again.
-Everything makes sense now
Strategy encoded in DNA lol
-Summary: if Persia touches the lumber, they’re screwed
-Hill tank: a beautiful idiom expressing the poignant longing for an opponent you cannot reach or even see.
-???: This is a strategy everyone knows?
-It’s an idiom from the Art of War
-This is the nation of Terran space rebels, you bastards!
-National anthem verse 5 activated
Perhaps to properly demonstrate the essence of that hill tank strategy?
The Observer cut Joseon’s viewpoint and switched to Persia’s perspective.
