The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 208
68. Monster Clash (5)
The moment Persia’s main base was breached.
Bang!
King Gul shot to his feet and shouted.
“Your elephant is absolutely insane!?”
-Hahahaha
-Lol seriously
-Wow the elephant is so satisfying to watch haha
-Oh my, King Gul, did you see their elephant?
-Let’s go haha
The elephant Almond controlled was nothing short of a bulldozer.
Perhaps because it wasn’t his own elephant, he showed no restraint.
Crash!
Bang!
He advanced, demolishing everything in sight.
“The cavalry is pouring in and setting fires everywhere!!!”
Whoooosh!
Wherever the elephant cleared a path, the cavalry followed and set fires.
The cavalry charge was one of the most efficient unit types for arson, so the main base’s key structures quickly burst into flames.
It wasn’t just buildings that were burning.
“It’s burning up!!”
“Fier!!”
-Hahahaha
-The commentators are losing it
-Wait, are they really going to the quarterfinals!? Really!?
-Wow
-Breaking news) Quarterfinal opponent seems decided
Once Joseon’s offensive caught fire, there was no stopping it.
Having even captured the elephant, Joseon’s cavalry charge unit’s morale was at an all-time high.
They seemed like they could even fight Mongolia’s suicide cavalry unit, the ‘Bator’.
“Now, we must remain calm. Persia is skillfully preparing their final battle right now!?”
-You’re telling yourself to calm down, aren’t you?
-Haha you should calm down;
-Can we turn up the volume again now?
-Yes yes
-Civil M is dangerous because of late-game reversals
“Yes. Joseon also nearly fell victim to a late-game reversal before. Civil M keeps accumulating troops at the end and pulls off reversals well!?”
“That’s right. Persia especially has players with that kind of experience! They’re calmly gathering forces in the rear right now!”
Three elephants were positioned around the town hall, and defensive towers were being hastily constructed nearby. Additional troops continued to gather in the rear.
“Persia is aiming for one final strike! But the main camp fire is absolutely fierce!”
Whoooosh…!
The Joseon forces have burned nearly half the camp in a perfect circular formation.
In the center of the circle created by the crimson flames, Persia’s last defensive forces are positioned.
Waiting for the final battle.
“Now this pizza is no longer Persia’s, is it!? It’s turning into Joseon-style pizza!”
“Joseon-style pizza!?”
“Yes! A new product! Spicy Chicken Mala Pizza!”
-No more pizza…
-ㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋ Joseon patch
A pizza with K stuck on it lol
-???: Put me out of my misery…
“Ah! At this rate, it truly deserves to be called Joseon pizza!”
“Now, Joseon seizes the opportunity! They’re searching for the opening to completely capture it this time!”
The Joseon forces circled around, hunting for the right moment just as King Gul had said.
“Looking at it, they’re not pulling out something like the Shingi-jeon right now, are they?”
There was no waiting for the Shingi-jeon or any other strategic maneuver. They were simply calculating how to breach the main camp and end it in one decisive stroke.
“Yes! When an opening appears! We just push through! That’s Choi Sun-sin!”
lol that’s hilarious
That’s crazy/insane.
-Her guts are crazy
“Now…!”
Buuuuuuu──
With the elephant’s roar, the Joseon forces moved.
“The Joseon elephant! Advancing to the front!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The elephant that Almond was riding began charging forward at considerable speed.
“Persia! Persia’s elephant is coming out too!”
Buuuuuuu!
Persia’s elephant turned its head toward Almond.
“Since Persia didn’t prepare siege weapons either! The only thing that can defeat an elephant is another elephant!?”
“And now!!”
Waaaaaaaa!
At that moment, the Joseon Cavalry charged in.

* * *
Countless cavalry units surge forward.
Shing!
The Commander’s blade rises high.
Bread turns to look back, his voice booming across the battlefield.
“This is our final charge!”
Thundering hoofbeats echo—kuguguguguuu…!
Billowing dust clouds rise as countless arrows rain down from the prepared defensive towers.
“This is the final moment of this match! The final moment of this tournament!”
The cavalry units raise their small shields or arm guards, deflecting the arrows.
Whiiiing!
Several cavalry soldiers stumble and fall before reaching their destination.
An impossibly dense barrage of arrows.
It was clear that significant casualties would be inevitable.
“Charge forward!!!”
Still, the cavalry surges ahead.
“Target the supreme commander!!”
Whoooosh!
As her blade aims precisely at the village hall, a single red dot appears in everyone’s vision.
[Eliminated]
Coffee charging from the opposite direction does the same.
He too pierces through the arrow barrage, racing toward that single point.
“Ignore the arrows!! Just charge forward!!”
Persia’s defensive towers and archers grow increasingly frantic.
-This is insane
-The scale is insane
-Wow
-Wow…
-This is Civil M at its finest
-So majestic
[Joseon’s strategy is simple! While Almond draws aggro! They’ll drag out the supreme commander!]
The cavalry ignores all defensive structures entirely, charging straight through.
[But! Persia! Of course they anticipated this!]
Persia deploys the soldiers hidden behind the village hall.
Heavy Infantry spearmen with shields and long spears—clearly a unit prepared specifically to counter the cavalry.
[Persia’s Heavy Infantry! They collide!]
Crash!
Several soldiers are sent flying backward, but far more spears pierce through the cavalry’s hearts.
Squelch!
Or the cavalry’s blades sever the spearmen’s necks.
Craaash!
The problem was that the cavalry charge’s acceleration had been halted.
Neeeigh!
The horses in the front ranks reared up in panic, losing all sense of direction.
[This really is the final battle, isn’t it!? It’s not easy!]
[And with the elephants too! Each cavalry squad is handling one!?]
Mooooooo!
On top of that, another elephant blocks the path ahead.
Thud!
“Argh!”
As the elephants deliberately rolled their feet, the cavalry was sent flying far away like marbles.
[What’s our elephant doing!?]
[It’s fighting another elephant!]
[Ah! A cursed rivalry! It’s the elephant that Kenin is riding!]
Meanwhile, an elephant-versus-elephant battle had begun on another front.
Boom…!
Tusks collided, and sparks flew from the friction.
Monster battle is crazy
-Whoa
-He’s lost it
Mecha almond lol
-Lol
Almond, who had been controlling the elephant, stood up.
[Almond! It doesn’t look like Almond is trying to win with the elephant!?]
The elephant Almond was facing had four riders on its back.
One of them was Kenin, one of the Three Archers and the world’s number one archer.
[Ah! There’s Anausha here too!]
And the remaining three were Anausha, a special unit of Persia.
It was clear they intended to immediately deal with anyone who climbed onto the elephant.
[There are three Anaushas!? This is basically saying ‘if you climb up, you’re in big trouble!’!?]
[It’s a formation with Chataemeen in mind! But Choi Sun-sin! Almond! Would you back down from this!?]
-lol for real
-Even if they told him to back down, he’d just charge in anyway
-Lol
-Almond’s special trait) Doesn’t know what Anausha is.
As expected, Almond paid it no mind.
Tap tap tap!
He ran across the elephant’s head and immediately leaped onto the opposing elephant.
The moment he landed, a curved shot flew directly at his head to greet him.
Clang!
He deflected a throwing star and immediately leaped toward the elephant’s flank.
[I couldn’t even see what he just deflected!?]
[W-wait, if he goes to the side won’t he slip!?]
Thunk! Thunk!
Almond climbed across the elephant’s hide, striking it with throwing stars as he moved.
Three Anausha plus one first-class archer.
This was far more difficult than facing archers alone.
For now, I had to retreat to the side and evade their arrow attacks.
‘No orders are coming through.’
I had expected orders on how to handle this situation, but none came.
This was an all-out war scenario.
I had been given only one command.
[Capture]
[Capture]
[Capture]
Capture the three elephants marked with orders.
It seemed no further commands would come in this situation.
The ground battle was far too fierce.
The cavalry struck and withdrew repeatedly, dragging the enemy guard unit outside—clearly moving under orders from above.
‘Then….’
I had to figure this out myself.
Bread had taught me before.
While she was skilled in Lichtenaur’s Western swordplay, she said the Joseon hwandao had its own distinct technique and gave me special coaching.
In particular, I had learned grappling techniques useful in situations like this.
「Use it when things get desperate.」
Crack…!
Muscles surged in my arms as I used the embedded throwing star as a fulcrum, bouncing back onto the elephant’s back and rolling.
[Whoa!?]
[He’s rolling!?]
As I rolled across the surface, an otherworldly movement emerged.
「I’ll teach you. How to draw your blade while rolling.」
A movement like a dance—turbulent yet strange.
‘What is this!?’
One nearby Anausha panicked at the suddenly closed distance while rolling and swung her blade, but—
There weren’t many ways to strike an opponent pressed against the ground.
Meanwhile—
[W-what!? Is it a windmill!?]
Conversely, someone on the ground had many more options.
──Whoooosh!
[Aaaah! I-I got hit!?]
[You had a curved sword!?]
Anausha’s leg flew clean off. Her vaunted agility vanished in an instant.
By then, I was standing while Anausha lay sprawled on the ground.
「The finishing blow… the larger the blade, the more you must step forward and fully utilize the sword’s center of gravity.」
Shing!
I raised my blade high.
It was a ‘Tae-do’—a sword from the Joseon era, an enlarged version of the curved sword.
‘By stepping forward!’
Crash!
My Tae-do cleaved Anausha in two.
The blade even gouged deep into the elephant’s hide.
Squeeeeeal!
The elephant staggered as if bucking, and that was my opening.
Tap-tap-tap!
My feet danced mysteriously across its swaying back.
「When striking in succession, you must use the sword’s center of gravity and rotate your entire body as one.」
「Ah. Like the spinning strike of the Rubisword?」
「What is that…」
Whoooosh…!
My black robe billowed as the blade sang through the air in a perfect arc.
Shhhhwack!
Shhwack!
The spinning strike carved through the enemies with precision, scattering blood.
Anausha fell one after another.
Kenin fired arrows frantically, but with Chataemeen’s movement speed buff, I dodged several in a heartbeat, and even deflected one off an Anausha corpse.
Thunk!
[Disguise]
From behind the Anausha held up like a shield, another iron-masked Anausha emerged.
Kenin couldn’t help but be startled, even knowing she was an enemy.
He was skilled enough as a player to understand what this meant.
That iron mask prevents headshots.
The fact that I was standing right in front of him, wearing the iron mask at this close range…
…meant he had no winning move.
He couldn’t land a headshot to kill instantly, and the opponent within three steps could split him in half.
A cold voice echoed from behind the iron mask.
“Chiki-cha.”
“Damn—”
In a flash, I stepped forward and brought the Tae-do down from his head to his feet.
──Boom!
[Ahhhhhhh! In an instant!?]
From the commentators’ perspective, it all happened in a single breath.
Almond, who had been clinging to the elephant’s flank moments before, rolled forward in a burst of momentum, weaving through the enemy ranks with fluid grace before annihilating them entirely.
And so the elephant became Joseon’s once more.
[The elephants! Both of them! Both charging simultaneously!]
Almond drove Kenin’s elephant toward the enemy, then mounted his original elephant again, and they charged together.
Kuuuoong──!
The two elephants sent the Persian elephant flying.
[This is a complete monster clash!! Kyaaaaaaaa!]
[Monster! Kyaaaaaaaa!]
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Kyaaa~
-Kyaaa~~
Argh hahahaha
And not only that—the heavy infantry spearmen holding back the cavalry were crushed like biscuits beneath their feet.
“The path is open!”
Bread seized the opportunity without hesitation, yanked the reins, and surged forward with all her might.
Whiiiing!
Her horse leaped over the enemy’s defensive line.
The moment it landed, the horse bolted straight toward the village hall.
Soon her hooves thundered into the corridor.
Bread vaulted from the saddle.
“Almost there….”
Tap-tap-tap-tap!
She shed every piece of armor and sprinted at maximum speed with only her sword in hand.
The village hall’s layout was remarkably simple for its size—likely designed for exactly this scenario.
“D-damn…!”
Elifer broke from his commander’s vantage point and desperately tried to mount a counterattack.
“Die.”
Thud!
She stepped forward and brought her blade down in a decisive strike—a speed that transcended Elifer’s ability to react.
Shwaaaack!

* * *
“!?”
“…!”
The commentators froze, their mouths gaping wide, unable to utter a single word.
The game itself spoke for them instead.
[VICTORY]
Just these two characters.
The soldiers had fought all this time to witness this moment.
They unleashed a cry that was almost a scream.
“…!”
My ears rang from the deafening roar, and I could only see soldiers sprinting with wide eyes and arms spread open.
But through the vibrations in the air, I could feel it—the thunderous cheers engulfing the arena.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
Cavalry: forty-three, Archers: thirty-four, Swordsmen: fifty-seven.
Match duration: 74 minutes. Pure combat time: 43 minutes.
The third match between Joseon and Persia, consuming all of this.
And the victor was….
“Joseon! Joseon advances to the quarterfinals!!”
Joseon.
“Gooooooooooo!!!”
