The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 283
92. The Advance of the Great Wall (2)
When the game first started, no one had ever uttered such words from anywhere.
[Wait, is China actually screwed right now?]
No matter how difficult things became, China was still China.
In the late game, this civilization always had one last trick up its sleeve. You could never let your guard down.
Moreover, the ones commanding this civilization now were the nation’s finest players.
A team evaluated as having reached the pinnacle of skill.
For such players to reach the late game and receive this kind of reaction was extremely unusual.
[That’s pretty significant]
[Wait, they’re undefeated but can this actually work?]
[They blocked the keystone lol is this really happening?]
[Seriously, is this actually happening?]
These comments were coming not from Rilpro, but from M-bul, who knew Civil M well.
China, who had maintained an undefeated streak throughout the tournament. Joseon, who by no measure had climbed easily to this point.
Joseon, always rated as the weakest team in the main tournament, was now pushing back China, considered the strongest in current form.
-Can this really happen?
-Seriously
-Wow lol
They had already taken several hits from the previous triple strategy and scout prevention, but no one believed China would be brought down by just that.
With any other civilization it might be different, but for China, that was merely two quick jabs.
But this time was different.
A sharp, straight punch.
And it came as a counter.
CRASH!
“Aaaaaaahhh?!”
King Gul slammed the desk and shot up from his seat. The veins in his neck bulged prominently.
“No! China was just beautifully about to complete the Great Wall of China! But something strange got wedged in between!?”
“That’s right!? We thought it was the Great Wall! But it was Namhansanseong!?”
-Lololol
-Oh that fortress…
-Reverse three-way reversal let’s go
-Of all times lol
-China is really struggling though???
China desperately rushed elsewhere to begin constructing walls in an attempt to reconnect the Great Wall of China.
[Wall – 3%]
[Wall – 8%]
[Wall – 9%]
“Right now! China is in a hurry, right!? If they don’t connect the Great Wall! Joseon’s fortress wall with the fortress effect will have both greater height and stronger defense!?”
Since the direct path was blocked, they would have to take a detour instead.
“But!! They’re blocking it again!!”
CRASH!
Joseon’s defensive wall surged upward once more, forcing the Chinese forces to retreat again.
Archers leaped onto that wall and unleashed a barrage of arrows upon the workers.
“Wait, didn’t you say China has the fastest construction speed!?”
It was a subtle difference, but China definitely had faster construction speed than Joseon.
Compared to other civilizations, both were incredibly fast.
“Yes! That’s right! But! What kind of nation is Joseon!?”
“?!”
“A nation of military service! A nation of digging, isn’t it!?”
“Exactly!”
“Joseon soldiers can build walls too! They can build anything except production buildings!”
“Aaah!”
“So China’s construction speed using only workers can’t even compare! In theory China is faster! But that’s only if they have equal numbers! But that’s impossible from the start!!”
Indeed, right now numerous Swordsmen clustered near Joseon’s walls were wielding hammers and shovels instead of blades.
Of course, they faced their own trials.
──BOOM!
From the Yuan Dynasty faction, one of the Chinese Gakgung Archers landed an explosive arrow.
“Ah! Now the Chinese Gakgung Archers have arrived too!?”
“This changes things a bit!”
On China’s walls, the Gakgung Archers took position and began unleashing explosive arrows indiscriminately.
BOOM!
BOOM!
Yet Joseon’s wall continued rising.
“They’re holding it! They have shields!?”
Shield-bearing soldiers had been deployed.
The shield unit led by Mok-i was protecting the construction soldiers.
Though their stamina was depleting, the blast waves couldn’t reach the interior.
“Then!!”
TWANG.
Now the bowstrings of the Joseon Gakgung Archers, led by Almond, were drawn taut.
They each targeted different Chinese Gakgung Archers and fired arrows blazing with light.
SPLAT!
In an instant, three or four enemies fell with arrows embedded in their heads.
“HEADSHOT!!”
“And now! Joseon! Is launching a full assault! With siege weapons too!!”
WHOOOOSH!
A black falcon soared into the sky.
Bread’s blade thrusts skyward.
[All troops! Charge forward!!!!]
From the steep mountain valleys, dense with trees, countless soldiers came rushing out.
The Assistant Commanders dismounted from their horses and ran on foot as well.
It was a true all-out assault.
“Cookie! After raising the triple! The advance timing! The all-in timing! I’ve captured it perfectly! Not ambiguously pulling back! Just all-in! This is right, isn’t it!?”
Whoooosh…!
Boulders came flying from beyond the mountain.
They were launched from siege weapons.
──CRASH!
Part of China’s fortress wall crumbled.
“No matter how we try to connect this now! It doesn’t look like it’ll connect!!”
Several sections of the fortress wall cracked and fractured, on the verge of collapse.
The Joseon Frontline Archers standing atop the fortress wall drew their bowstrings frantically, and every single one—whether worker or archer—let loose their arrows.
Moreover, the number of arrows being fired continued to increase.
This was because archers who had been running continuously were joining the frontline of the fortress wall.
“No way, China is gradually shaking!?”
The barrage of arrows being fired from atop the fortress wall grew increasingly fierce.
They poured down almost like a downpour, clearing the surroundings.
As a result, the Chinese Soldiers appeared flustered, unable to do anything properly.
“What should China be aiming for in this situation!?”
“They probably need to aim there with Gunpowder Arrows! The archers are all clustered together too much right now!?”
The moment King Gul spoke, the archers on Joseon’s fortress wall began jumping down.
“Huh!? They’re all suddenly jumping down and scattering!?”
They climbed onto China’s fortress wall and spread out to both sides.
They were dispersing.
They had recognized the danger of explosive arrows.
“Right now, Joseon!!”
King Gul’s voice grew increasingly intense.
“Their coordination! Is absolutely perfect! And their judgment is extremely sharp! In a word, right now! They’re razor-edged!!!”
Boom!
Boom!
The moment the Players dispersed, the Chinese Archers’ explosive arrows poured down.
However, the casualties were minimal—only three or four deaths.
“Explosive arrows have a limited quantity!?”
Gunpowder Arrows cannot be recharged once they’re used up.
They were a kind of ultimate technique, but they had mostly missed.
“This…! Joseon! Ground forces entering!?”
Waaaaaaaa…!
The ground forces that had rushed down from the mountain began pouring through the gaps in the collapsed fortress wall.
“Just like sand slipping through fingers, the Joseon forces are flowing in! The reputation of the Great Wall of China is! Completely shattered!”
-The Great Wall of China (almost)
-???
Hahahahaha
lol
-It’s not the Great Wall of China, lol
“The Joseon Frontline Archers are claiming the Chinese walls one by one right now! And Joseon’s own walls are advancing too!?”
The construction of Joseon’s walls never stopped.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
The walls rose endlessly, advancing toward China’s main base with unstoppable momentum.
“At this rate, Joseon just needs to climb up these walls and jump straight in! This isn’t a wall anymore! They’ve built a highway leading directly to the enemy base!?”
From the mountaintop to China’s main camp, it was as if an express highway had been carved open.
“How is China supposed to overcome this right now!?”
The walls continue advancing, pushing forward relentlessly.
Ground troops pouring through the gaping holes.
Formations crumbling and morale plummeting.
China is wavering.
Just like their walls.
“Since they’re a nation that’s maintained an undefeated streak! This kind of situation would be even more shocking for them!!”
“Right! They’re definitely starting to feel it now!”
The Commentators are being cautious, avoiding direct statements.
But there’s a palpable shift in the air.
‘…Damn it.’
It was visible on Youbi’s face reflected in the camera.
The scent of defeat.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The Korean Audience’s roar shakes the stadium.
Joseon’s walls continue advancing forward.
China has no way to respond.
They had no siege weapons prepared.
“China! Don’t you have any siege weapons!? You need to bring out siege towers at least!”
“We don’t! China was planning to block with walls and hold the line! There’s no way we’d have those! We’re scrambling to deploy them now!”
China’s plan from the start was ‘defense’ in the third era.
In a defensive strategy, siege weapons were nothing but dead weight.
Firing massive boulders at individual soldiers was like swinging a kitchen knife to kill a single mosquito.
It only made things more dangerous for themselves.
If they misfired, their own structures could take damage instead.
‘As expected, they don’t have any.’
This was exactly the point Cookie had targeted.
One overlooked element in China’s defensive pattern.
The absence of siege weapons.
‘Of course they wouldn’t spend money on siege weapons.’
Some civilizations prepare to deploy siege weapons just in case during defense, while others like China completely exclude them from their strategy.
This approach is actually closer to the correct answer.
Siege weapons are literally meant for siege warfare—what use would they have during defense?
“I never expected it! Not soldiers, but the walls themselves attacking!!”
-The walls attacking lol
-Without detection, the item just fell off, so that’s scary
-Is this really China’s strategy???
-Wow lol are they actually winning??
-Wow no siege weapons?
-Wow
“Ah yes! The walls attacking! Meaning the opponent didn’t deploy siege weapons! Using it like this! I never could have imagined it!?”
“It’s just like in other RTS games—if you don’t happen to build detection for invisible units, you just get destroyed by them! There’s honestly no way to counter this!!”
There was no way.
Even the commentators ultimately failed to frame China’s situation more favorably.
On the minimap, blue dots began gradually pushing back the red dots.
Crash!
Crash!
Joseon’s swordsmen were charging forward, slaughtering Yuan’s soldiers.
“No! Joseon! They’re even winning in direct soldier-to-soldier combat right now?! How is this happening?! The players’ skill level!!”
“They’re not the Joseon from before! Just one week after facing Japan! They’ve come back as a completely different team!!”
Whether it was momentum or something else.
Yuan’s soldiers fell without even properly engaging when they met Joseon forces—it happened countless times.
As a result, Joseon surged forward like a tidal wave.
It didn’t matter even if some Joseon soldiers fell.
“Right now reinforcements from the mountain peak are joining in at an insane speed!? They just run down the walls and arrive there!”
“Exactly! If you didn’t know better, you’d think they were sliding down a waterpark slide! They connected this long wall all the way down to there!”
-Waterpark slide lol
-Joseon opens a waterpark for China scary
-lol wow it’s literally a high-speed supply route
-Soldiers are just infinite;
Soldiers were produced from the blacksmith, barracks, and training grounds built at the mountain peak.
The moment they were created, they’d run down the fortress walls and soon reach China’s main base.
“Ahhhhh! The walls! They’ve reached the main base now! China! Right now they can’t properly defend! No matter how many arrows they shoot from below at the walls! It doesn’t work! It doesn’t work!?”
Their prized gunpowder arrows actually dealt minimal damage to buildings.
Moreover, shooting from ground level at walls above was truly difficult.
In most cases, the arrows didn’t even hit properly.
And hastily building defensive towers was pointless—Yuan’s defensive towers were inferior compared to other civilizations.
Against Joseon’s already sturdy and towering fortress walls, they were nothing but toys.
If anything, they were just giving the archers better eye-level targets to shoot at.
There was no way out.
Absurdly enough, there truly was no way to solve this predicament.
That moment had already passed.
“Th-this! I never thought I’d be saying this from the very first match!”
“What!?”
“China! An undefeated streak!! Shutd──”
Boom.
Finally, the drum of surrender echoes across the arena.
[Surrender]
“──OWN!!!”
Hahahahaha
-Cut
This country is obsessed with shutdowns lol
-Kyaa
Haha, that’s hilarious!
-Insane
-Wow
-For real??
Undefeated streak, crazy
and lol
The audio cut out from the roar of the Korean audience.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
