The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 107
35. Song-ja Bae (3)
Greentea and Baeksuk had followed Hong-cha.
They barely escaped from the monsters and hid in the crevice of an enormous tree.
“Gasp… huff….”
“Insane. They’re way too strong. Where are Hong-cha and Lemon? It’s their home!”
“I… I don’t know.”
Baeksuk shook his head and collapsed onto the ground.
With this equipment, we couldn’t stand a chance against them.
“I need to gather iron and craft better gear. If the monsters aren’t just targeting Danmuzip anymore….”
“What on earth is happening?”
-Real talk
-Why did they come here?
-Just random raids lol, they say Danmuzip got hit a lot because it’s big
-Yeah gotta match the gear
“We should probably upgrade our equipment too.”
Just as I was thinking we needed to buy iron ore.
“Charge forward!!”
A shout echoed from afar.
“?”
The two of us peeked our heads out to identify the source of the shout.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Five avatars were rushing toward the swarm of monsters.
“What… full plate armor?”
“Wow. What kind of knights are those?”
Wrapped entirely in iron and charging ferociously at the enemies, they resembled true knights.
“Wait.”
But Greentea recognized one of the silhouettes.
Even from hundreds of meters away, it was unmistakable at a glance—someone I could identify even as an avatar.
“That’s Hong-cha, isn’t it?”
It was Hong-cha.
Hong-cha was wrapped in full plate armor from somewhere and wielding an iron sword, driving back the monsters.
Crash!
-Wow Hong-cha???
-Real???
-What is this?
-Where did she get that gear?
Since Greentea had never even seen Almond’s Knights arrive, I couldn’t guess where the equipment came from.
I also had no idea who the other three around Hong-cha were.
In the meantime, they pushed deeper toward Hong-cha’s home where more monsters were gathering.
“Here! Gather here! Formation!”
Following Almond’s command, we extended our shields in all directions and established a defensive formation.
We thrust our blades only through the gaps between shields, slaughtering the monsters.
Shing!
Slash!
It was a method that allowed just five of us to face dozens of monsters.
“?”
Greentea stared blankly at the sight.
‘They’re going that far?’
That was an order impossible to execute unless one was an exceptionally skilled fighter.
“Who exactly is that?”
“I don’t know. Can’t see clearly.”
Greentea and Baeksuk couldn’t even imagine that Almond, practically an enemy, would arrive.
They only learned his identity when he and his group had carved their way through far enough for his ID to become visible.
[Almond]
The person standing in the center of the formation was Almond.
“!?”
Almond came to rescue us?
Why on earth?
No, more than that….
‘Why is Hong-cha fighting beside Almond?’

* * *
Almond surveyed the situation from the center of the formation and issued orders.
“Forward! One step!”
Thwack!
They advanced as if moving with a single body.
-Whoa
-Is this the Intercontinental Tournament MVP?!
-Insane
-All that effort in the Intercontinental Tournament paid off
-This might actually work
The shield formation held without a single gap.
‘These monsters are stupid enough to make this work.’
If this were the Intercontinental Tournament, such crude commands and formations would have been shattered long ago.
But the opponents weren’t human—they were monsters. Operating on rather dim AI, they fell perfectly into the trap.
“They’re coming!”
“Thrust! Thrust!”
Auwulf creatures rushed forward in a frenzy.
What greeted them were razor-sharp blades gleaming between shields as solid as an iron fortress.
Squelch!
“Screech!”
Several Auwulf creatures began falling back.
“Ugh!”
But the damage on our side was considerable.
“The, the shield!”
Crack.
Shields had durability limits after all.
Some shattered in moments.
With so many monsters, the mere impact of collisions gradually unraveled the formation.
“Toward the fire!!”
At that moment, I pointed toward the burning ruins of Hong-cha’s house.
“Drive them toward the fire!”
“!”
That was it.
Rather than kill the monsters directly, I could use the raging flames consuming the surroundings as an ally.
The fire continued to spread, and the monsters, as sensitive to flames as humans, couldn’t evade it.
“This way!”
Boom!
The formation advanced.
Now the objective wasn’t to kill, but to push forward.
“Push! Push through!”
Danbong cried out, thrusting his shield forward with all his might.
Boom!
“Clang!”
One of the Auwulves was driven back, flames igniting across its back.
Whoosh!
“Auuuuuuuuu!”
The Auwulf howled in agony.
The monsters retreated momentarily before charging again, and we pushed them back once more.
A tug-of-war for control of the encampment.
“One more time!”
Boom!
Several more Auwulves were driven back by the flames.
Whoooosh…!
An even greater inferno spread across them.
“That’s it, that’s enough!”
A few of the Auwulves began to show fear.
“Kiii… kiiing…!?”
Once some of them lost their nerve, coordinated assault became impossible.
Almond recognized this as our opportunity.
“Break formation! Scatter! Surround them from all sides!”
Everyone lowered their shields and scattered, charging forward.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Without any prior coordination, we began perfectly pressuring the monsters from five directions simultaneously.
“Raaaaaagh!!”
Hong-cha, fighting to protect his home.
“Die!”
Danmuji, eager to increase his kill count.
“Gaaaah!!”
Goguma, whose morale soared now that reinforcements had arrived.
They fearlessly roared and drove dozens of monsters before them.
In battle, momentum is everything.
“Kill them!”
“Slash!”
“Here, here! Over here!”
Shing!
Slash!
Cutting, blocking, thrusting, chasing, fleeing.
We slaughtered the enemies in a frenzy, driving them into the inferno.
Whoooosh!
The flame demon, greedily consuming its prey, grew ever larger.
“I think we’re going to win this!?”
The monsters’ momentum had already waned considerably, but the flames grew fiercer.
“This way! Over here!”
The more they pressed, the more I used the fire to drive the monsters back.
Then dawn breaks.
-Oh
-The sun’s up
-Scary
-We made it
-Did we win??
Sunlight spills across the land.
“Kyuuu!?”
The Ttududoji scattered in alarm and retreated entirely underground, while most of the Auwulf lay collapsed and burning.
Sssss…!
As dawn breaks, a warm breeze sweeps across the plains.
The monsters withdrew slowly with the sunlight, like trapdoor spiders.
“Screech!”
The surviving Auwulf turned and fled in the opposite direction, and not a trace of Ttududoji remained.
Hong-cha’s eyes trembled.
“Done… Done… It’s done.”
She ripped off her helmet and shouted.
“Yesss! Damn it! We won!”
Wow, that’s hilarious lol
He’s cursing right away lol
-This is Hong-cha
-Lol
Hongsong Knight Order’s first sortie.
This day ended in perfect victory.

* * *
Greentea and Baeksuk watched them from their hiding place.
They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with conflicted emotions.
“What is this.”
“It looks like Hong-cha has sided with Almond?”
“This can’t be.”
Greentea’s expression showed clear shock.
-Oh no…
That damn bastard ㅠㅠㅠ
-Huh???
Oh my god, haha!
He was a traitor to the Agricultural Cooperative.
“I suppose there’s no helping it.”
But thinking about it for even a moment, I could understand the reason.
Look at Hong-cha’s house right now.
It’s still burning fiercely.
She has lost everything.
It was Almond’s faction that came to help at that moment.
He was the only one she could turn to for assistance.
“Should I switch sides too then?”
Greentea was troubled.
Hong-cha is his girlfriend. If she changed factions, it would be natural for Greentea to do the same.
“What?”
But Baeksuk growled as if exasperated.
“Don’t bring real-world logic into this. Greentea. We are the Agricultural Cooperative. Are you thinking of betraying Doughnutz?”
Hahahaha
That’s too much lol
-It’s no fun if real-world stuff comes in~
I’m gonna get beaten up by Hong-cha lol
“But… still….”
“You owe him plenty too, don’t you?”
That was true.
Doughnutz had bound them with debt as well.
That debt came from refrigeration storage fees and field rental costs.
“Damn it.”
“Hong-cha’s place burned down anyway, so it’s ruined. So let’s go back to the Agricultural Cooperative and report this. That’s the right thing to do. Think about it as a resident of Cheese Village.”
“Y-yes!”
Greentea steeled his resolve.
What would happen if he switched sides back and forth here just because of a girlfriend in real life?
Hong-cha had received help, so that was one thing, but Greentea was different.
“Okay. Let’s head back for now.”
And so Baeksuk and Greentea returned to the Agricultural Cooperative’s headquarters.
To report on what had happened today.

* * *
Meanwhile, at Hong-cha’s house.
It was nothing but blackened ruins, completely burned away.
“Sigh… I, I did win, but….”
“Older sister….”
Lemon embraced Hong-cha in an attempt to comfort her.
Though her short arms made it difficult.
Hong-cha’s heart seemed to settle for a moment in Lemon’s embrace, but soon she trembled with rage.
“By the way, where the hell did Greentea go?”
Hahaha, that’s Lorenti’s fault haha
-Weren’t they fighting?
-Greentea, stop stirring things up
Hahahahahaha
-Did he die fighting??
“Did she go check on Cutie Pie?”
“No way. Older sister. That can’t be it. Cutie Pie is basically a chibi here….”
Hahahaha
lol
What are you gonna do about it even if you see it here lol
That’s right lol
-Lol
A world where Mo-sol is invincible lol
“Y, you’re right.”
Hong-cha scratched her head.
Had she gotten angry for no reason?
Greentea had been doing well by her, after all.
“Anyway. What happens to us now?”
Hong-cha murmured, gazing at her house reduced to ruins.
She had joined Almond’s side, but she wondered what help she could possibly be, joining with nothing left.
“But older sister. When are you going to betray them?”
“Hmm.”
Hong-cha hesitated for a moment.
‘Did I fight too hard back there?’
Memories of Danbong watching her back, of fighting shoulder to shoulder with Gobong, flashed through her mind.
The experience of battle, coordinating with Almond’s orders.
It was a battle that any warrior would admire.
Hong-cha wavered.
“…W-wait for an opening.”
Still, she was someone who lived by loyalty.
Once part of the Agricultural Cooperative, always part of the Agricultural Cooperative.
Betrayal had to happen.
“Really? Then should we hide for now?”
“Hide?”
“Yeah. Hide for a bit, then—boom!”
“…Okay.”
Hong-cha looked convinced.
Wasn’t this when the enemy would be most exhausted?

* * *
Meanwhile, Almond and Bongbong.
“We managed to clean it up somehow.”
“Incredible! Absolutely incredible!”
Hahahahahaha
Hahaha those little brats hahaha
-The formation order really worked
-The general is seriously hilarious
Hongsong’s Knights’ first battle was a great victory, but there was a problem.
“But everything burned down?”
All of Hong-cha’s assets had vanished.
“Isn’t that better? They’ll work themselves to death. Ehehe.”
Gobong, haha
-I’m most scared of Gobong…
Gobong, hahahaha
-Is that from experience?
“That’s certainly true.”
Almond still approached the charred ruins, wondering if there was anything salvageable.
It had burned terribly thoroughly.
How could so much have burned away? Even the ground was pitch black….
‘Huh?’
Almond’s eyes wavered for a moment.
Almond immediately spoke to Bongbong and the others.
“You lot. Stand guard and don’t let anyone through here.”
An incomprehensible order.
However, Danbong and Gobong were already putty in Almond’s hands.
Anyone who had experienced the battle just now would be the same.
“Where should we block from and to?”
“Block off the entire Hong-cha field. Don’t let anyone enter the area.”
“Understood!”
*Snap.*
Danbong saluted, then kicked Gobong with his foot.
“Gobong! Why aren’t you running like a dog?! Move it!!!”
“Ah, oh no!! I understand!”
Gobong was forcibly pushed away and looked for someone else.
“Hongsong! Resong! Where the hell did these bastards go? The newbies are slipping away!”
Hahahahahaha
Hahahaha
-Getting chewed out lol
-The way he immediately looks for Song-ja Bae is actually creepy lol
Haha, that’s hilarious!
Meanwhile, Almond waited until they completely disappeared from view.
Then he turned his gaze back to the field.
‘Could it be…’
