The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 226
74. Aimee (3)
Japan’s workers settled by the lake and began constructing buildings.
First, they built a small fishing dock.
[Fishing Dock]
This dock couldn’t produce warships, but it could store marine food and construct fishing vessels.
This fishing dock was a special structure unique to Japan, allowing them to acquire food quickly and cheaply.
Most other civilizations only have one type of dock, so even if they only want to fish, they must build a dock capable of constructing warships.
Japan was different.
It was a form of balancing against their high dependence on fish.
Thanks to this, they could deploy fishing vessels faster than other civilizations.
[Fishing Vessel – 57%]
The fishing vessel was already halfway constructed.
Once the ship was completed, food supply would increase noticeably.
Then they could cover the delayed entry speed into the third age.
The fishing dock was that efficient in production and cheap in cost.
However, it had low durability.
Just two or three soldiers dispatched would be enough to destroy it.
Even archers or ranged units that couldn’t set fires could topple the fishing dock with multiple hits from arrows or cannons, since it was essentially a makeshift structure.
In other words, it was tempting prey for Joseon.
They consisted entirely of archers, and there were twelve of them.
Even if only three of them were sent to destroy this fishing dock, they could do it.
If they destroyed this, Japan would essentially lose.
It was Japan’s worst nightmare scenario.
‘So come ahead.’
Ringo was actually hoping for it.
For Joseon to come.
That’s why he only thickened the encirclement, never advancing further toward the Joseon archers.
He was inducing them to make the first move.
‘There were no reinforcements.’
Through reconnaissance, it was confirmed that no reinforcements were being sent.
‘They’re being too greedy.’
Joseon didn’t know.
In fact, most other civilizations didn’t know.
How quickly Japan could grow once they started fishing.
That’s why they were being so careless in their response.
‘They think they’ll win even if they lose.’
Probably, Joseon thought that since they’d only invested minimal resources here, it wouldn’t matter if they didn’t break through.
An encirclement thickly deployed with swordsmen and barbarian soldiers.
Attempting to break through this with merely twelve ‘archers’ showed exactly that level of thinking.
But I was wrong.
Right now, Joseon must stake their lives to seize the lake.
‘I’ll annihilate them here and show them why.’
An archer’s silhouette emerged from one section of the encirclement.
So it’s over there.
Ringo immediately repositioned his soldiers.
Ting!
[Movement]
The massive encirclement began tightening in an instant.

* * *
[Breaking Through the Encirclement]
In Almond’s vision, there was only one command right now.
To break through the encirclement.
However, no specific orders had been issued yet.
The archers couldn’t even clearly see what the encirclement actually was.
Not until they drew closer to it.
‘Is it over there?’
Whoosh.
Some soldiers came into view.
Barbarian Soldiers.
[Attack]
The order came down.
Creak.
Almond drew his bow.
If a Barbarian Soldier took a headshot, he would die in one hit without needing the full three seconds of concentration.
Twang!
His arrow brought down one Barbarian Soldier.
The Barbarian Soldiers came rushing forward.
“Waaaaaaaah!”
“Woooooooh!”
But these cries came from all directions.
The Barbarian Soldiers had gathered around them from every side.
‘There are swordsmen behind them.’
Swordsmen were hiding behind the Barbarian Soldiers, pressed so tightly against them that curve shots were impossible to intercept.
‘They’re using the Barbarian Soldiers as complete shields.’
The swordsmen were essentially wielding living shields.
With this, an order was issued to everyone.
[Close-Range Archery]
“Prepare close-range archery!”
At Almond’s cry, everyone shouted in unison.
“Close-range archery ready!!”
Close-range archery honed through countless battles against Japan.
The archers who had been drawing their bowstrings taut in proper form suddenly relaxed their shoulders.
The bow lowered beneath their chests, angled at roughly forty-five degrees as they fired. At first glance, it resembled a crossbow’s trajectory.
Twang!
Accuracy decreased, but rate of fire and reaction speed accelerated. Most importantly—
“Waaaahhhhh!”
“Hyuuuuhhhhh!”
Enemies erupted from all directions with savage cries, the situation descending into chaos.
[Wait, is this a zombie assault!?]
[Japan! They were clearly separated before! How are they converging simultaneously like this!? This is genuinely terrifying!?]
This was the perfect moment to break through such circumstances.
An order descended to Almond.
[Charge]
Whoooosh…!
A path opened before him.
Almond immediately charged down it.
The Japanese army, believing he would retreat and fire as they advanced, found their assumptions shattered.
“Huh!?”
“What, what is this!?”
Those attempting a drive hunt found themselves bewildered as Almond charged directly toward them instead.
Thunk!
Thwack!
Arrows embedded themselves directly into their shocked faces.
Ping!
[He’s just shooting while running!?]
[Every shot connects!!]
Thud…!
Those who had tried to block his path collapsed as corpses.
Almond vaulted over the bodies and continued his charge.
[Aamond!? He’s breaking through the encirclement!?]
[The aggro right now!?]
The siege formation desperately shifted toward one point.
The Japanese army’s assault, which should have targeted the entire archer unit, now converged solely upon Almond.
[Everything’s focused on Aamond!?]
[Ah! That’s right! Aamond is now a protruding nail!? Japan can’t tolerate such things!?]
hahaha for real
A protruding nail must be hammered down.
The country of sharp angles is crazy.
-Seriously, he’s drawing all the aggro
Almond had surged far ahead alone, and now he was charging straight back toward them—naturally, they prioritized dealing with him first.
Besides, Ringo wasn’t the type of commander to issue detailed orders in situations like this.
He set the framework, but precise targeting and movements had to be judged on the ground.
“Kill that bastard!”
“What even is that!?”
The result was ‘kill Almond’.
There was a speed difference between the two unit types.
The distance between the Japanese forces and Almond kept narrowing.
Eventually they would completely overlap.
[Ah, he’s being caught up! Finally!]
[There’s a speed difference, you see!?]
Soon they closed to sword-fighting distance.
Shring!
Three swordsmen rushed toward Almond, drawing their blades.
[Ah, he’s getting caught after all!?]
Thud—
The moment they leaped forward.
[Wait, this!?]
Suddenly, a barrage of arrows came flying.
──Pwoosh-pwoosh-pwoosh-pwoosh!
The swordsmen were swept away mid-air like flies, struck by dozens of arrows and sent flying.
[Swatted away!!!]
[Almond…!? What about Almond!?]
Almond was still running.
[He’s alive! He survived!? Can he really break through!?]
-Insane
-Wow
-No way
-This!?
One direction of their encirclement had been completely blown open.
Almond seized the opportunity and charged through.
[Joseon pushes forward!]
[Will he really make it through completely!?]
[I don’t think he can make it all the way! He’s still too slow…!]
One direction of Japan’s carefully constructed siege had been torn wide open.
But only one direction.
Three of the four cardinal directions remained intact.
[Ah! The rear forces are still getting caught!? Is this a strategy to let just one person escape!?]
They’d managed to let one through, but they couldn’t overcome the inherent limitation that archers were slower than swordsmen.
The rear forces under Almond’s command were ultimately caught and torn apart.
[What’s the strategy!?]
Joseon sent out only Almond.
There was no way to discern their strategy.
[Behind Almond right now—it’s complete chaos back there!?]
The rear formation was being pierced by swordsmen from the very back, descending into utter pandemonium.
[Still, they’re resisting with close-range archery!? Joseon!!]
Their resistance proved futile.
Slash!
Finally, the enemies’ blades found their mark.
The first casualty fell.
[Pa, is that Pangeo!? Pangeo down!]
Ratte, who stood behind Pangeo.
He released an arrow infused with focus.
“I’m still here, you bastards!”
Twang!
The arrow struck true, hitting the head of the swordsman who had felled Pangeo.
He too collapsed in a limp heap, following Pangeo’s fate.
[Excellent! Ratte! You’re still keeping them out of the archer formation!]
But then, another swordsman came charging from behind.
Slash!
Another archer behind Ratte fell.
“Damn it!”
Once they’d broken through, they came relentlessly, biting and clawing.
And—
[The one called Ace! Player Honda! He’s entering!? Huh!? I didn’t see that coming!?]
[He’s already inside!?]
Honda.
He had breached their lines.
Whoosh!
He rolled directly into the archer formation like a tumbling wheel.
‘When did—!?’
‘What—?’
By the time the archers noticed, it was already too late.
His drawn blade flashed brilliantly.
[Visaaaaaang!]
Slaaaaaash!
His blade swept through the formation in mere moments, and four archers collapsed instantly.
“Ugh…!”
“No! Danggeun!?”
The Joseon Archers were falling so pathetically that I momentarily lost my senses.
“This… is insane.”
[The Cruel Blade faction’s splash damage! It just pierces through! This is what swordsmen fear!?]
lol
That’s a scam for real.
-wow
I’m crying / Oh no
I can’t translate “-ㅁㅊ” as it’s not a complete Korean word or standard expression. It appears to be incomplete Korean consonants without vowels, making it impossible to form a meaningful translation.
While swordsmen’s attacks were easily blocked by metal armor, the Archers had no such defense.
Shing…!
He brandished his blade again, cutting down another target, then the next in rapid succession.
A flurry of strikes too fast for the eye to follow.
A mesmerizing sword dance continued, captivating even those being cut down.
[Even if just one enters like this! It’s complete chaos! Like if you had a huge pile of curry but one piece of filth fell in, it ruins everything!]
-?
-lol what
-talking about curry while eating filth;
Haha, seriously
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
-so you’re saying that’s the filth?
With Honda’s breakthrough, three other swordsmen pushed deeper into the formation.
Almond, Pangeo, and Danggeun were all absent from the Archer ranks.
Joseon was shaken greatly, and the enemies’ blades swung ferociously.
Especially Honda’s blade gleamed with lethal light as it severed another life.
Swaaaaak!
That blade, as if starved for blood, continued to scatter crimson trails, devouring the Joseon forces.
Soon, it had carved its way into the very center of the Archer formation.
‘It’s over.’
With the distance closed this much, there was no one who could stop him.
Honda thought this battle was won and continued his sword strikes.
But then─
“!”
Clang!
Someone blocked his blade.
‘It must be an Archer.’
Honda’s eyes caught a trembling bowstring.
They had blocked it with the bow itself.
It was Spam.
He opened his mouth wide and shouted.
“Don’t waver!”
It was a sharp rebuke that snapped the archers back to attention.
“I said we can win even in close combat as long as we don’t lose our nerve! Almond Ham!”
In that instant, the momentum shifted.
“!”
Twang.
Bowstrings were drawn taut from all directions once more.
