The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 124
40. Staring into the Fire (1)
“Phew. I’m done.”
Gobong stretched out and lay back.
I had filtered through all the candidates from the DMs that needed to be eliminated.
“I think we can just call the remaining people and conduct interviews.”
“But here’s the thing─”
Almond was about to say something.
Night was falling.
I needed to execute the operation against Mosol.
But that’s when it happened.
──Bang!
Suddenly Danbong came running from the entrance and shouted.
“Boss!! Look at this!!!”
He brought a placard and waved it around.
“…?”
Upon seeing the placard, Almond couldn’t help but tilt his head in confusion.
[The Agricultural Cooperative does not forget. The Agricultural Cooperative does not forgive.]
Because it was written in such a serious tone.
“This was found over by the ruins. It was among the junk items dropped by those who did the bombing! They brought it with them from the start!”
“Huh? Jello and Chocosong were…?”
“Yes! Both of them are Agricultural Cooperative members, aren’t they!?”
-?
-That can’t be right?
-???: Was Doughnutz from the Agricultural Cooperative?
hahahahaha also cooperation
Why is everything NH Bank? lol
-Purge all those Agricultural Cooperative bastards!
I had never thought they were Agricultural Cooperative members, but with such clear evidence, there was nothing to say.
Moreover, I was a man who once didn’t even know Doughnutz was Agricultural Cooperative.
It didn’t take long for me to think I was wrong.
“Were both of them Agricultural Cooperative?”
It seemed like they might have been.
“That appears to be the case. At the very least, they seem to be acting under orders from the Agricultural Cooperative.”
“Wow. The Agricultural Cooperative—aren’t these guys completely insane?! This is totally crossing the line!”
Gobong bristles beside me.
“These lunatics aren’t some Middle Eastern extremist terrorists. They’re committing suicide bombing attacks!?”
Danbong also bursts with indignation as he thinks about it more.
-Gasp
Gasp!
-Suicide bomber attack lolololol
-Yeah, it does look that way lolol
-Lmao
-That’s exactly what it is lololol
While the two of them were going wild, I remained relatively composed.
After all, I was the only person who witnessed the incident firsthand.
‘Hmm… it’s unclear.’
If those two really had been sent by the Agricultural Cooperative as a warning, I think they would’ve said something more.
They would’ve given a clear warning.
But they were simply caught trying to sneak away.
Aside from just stealing equipment, it didn’t seem like they had any real malice…
‘Wait.’
Here, I reconsider my thoughts.
Isn’t anger toward the Agricultural Cooperative exactly the virtue this Knight order desperately needs?
「You know you need better performance than those Taewon Trading bastards, right? Huh? Get your head in the game!!」
Malice toward a rival company becomes morale for your own side.
Aseng was a place that exploited this to the fullest.
No matter how childish it seems, once you’re part of an organization, you inevitably get stained by such things. That’s human nature.
That’s what we call a sense of belonging.
It’s neither good nor bad—just a human instinct.
There’s no reason not to use it.
When this falls apart, it only leads to division, like the Agricultural Cooperative I saw at the sales floor earlier.
I nod.
“Right. They’re insane. That’s why they even committed a suicide bomber attack to prove it.”
-?
-Lololol wtf
-Lmaooo
-??
-Suicide… really?
-You pressed it though lololol
-Official) Crazy guy declares crazy guy
-Lololol that’s hilarious lol
I declare them insane so matter-of-factly, as if stating the obvious.
My tone and expression were somewhat amusing, but such details were lost on Bongbong and the others, who were consumed with rage.
“We need to do something about this!”
“And on top of that, Doughnutz is gaining public opinion right now by claiming he drove out all the foreign forces! We’ve become the ones who can’t do anything!”
Danbong brings up the concern that had been weighing on his mind.
“We shouldn’t be attacking the neighboring village right now. Shouldn’t we first get our own village in order?”
“Hmm…”
Danbong’s wise counsel.
I pause for a moment to think.
“First, there’s something we need to do.”
I defer the decision.
Instead, I make clear what needs to be done right now.
“Huh?”
“Night’s coming soon.”
At those words, all the Bongbongs tense up immediately.
‘I see.’
‘This is it.’
Tonight.
There’s a high probability that monsters will assault Mosol’s house.
“We need to ‘handle’ Mosol first.”
-Handle lol
-That’s the ‘handle’ from problem-solver, right?
-Handle oof
-I never knew the word ‘handle’ could sound so ominous…
Danbong’s eyes waver.
“That… that plan… are we really going through with it?”
When we talked about ratios before, he was burning with enthusiasm, but now Danbong wavers again.
His resolve hasn’t solidified yet.
I tap the sign he brought.
“If we don’t do it, the Agricultural Cooperative will have to.”
“…!”
*Gulp.*
At those words, all the Bongbongs’ eyes widen.
“Let the Agricultural Cooperative handle the monster extermination first. The Knight Order’s reputation would be ruined.”
That was true.
The Agricultural Cooperative handling monster extermination?
And they even drove out the foreign forces today?
The Knight Order’s reason for existing becomes questionable.
“So… do you think the Agricultural Cooperative will come to Mosol’s place today as well?”
“I don’t know. That part.”
In truth, no one knows whether the Agricultural Cooperative will move or not.
I just said it to provoke them.
“What if we overlap with the Agricultural Cooperative?”
“I don’t know.”
Thinking about it that way, I naturally have no countermeasures either.
“…?”
-What lol
-No plan lol
-Danbong, you need to know that…
-???: What about Hodu?
“Ah, I understand. Hmm…”
Danbong paused in thought, staring at the sign.
Though I had always been soft-hearted by nature, remembering the sign and the explosion incident… I couldn’t help but feel anger rising.
With malice filling my heart, I came up with such a plan.
“…We’ll burn it all down.”
“!”
-Yikes
-Hahahahahahahaha
-All fertilizer lol
The sin is committed by Nonghyup, so why am I suffering…ㅠㅠ
-Hahahaha
-This guy’s lost it lol
“I’ll draw up a plan.”
My eyes gleamed with determination. Just like an Aseng employee returning from a workshop.
Then Almond simply repeated what the Aseng executives would say.
*Tap.*
Placing a hand on my shoulder.
“You… I like that fire in your eyes. Getting a promotion soon?”
-Hahahahahahahaha
-Hahahaha
-Almond for the board! Almond for the board! Almond for the board!
-Haha, so Aseng wasn’t a waste after all
“I’ll do my best!”
*Whoosh.*
Fire ignited in my eyes.
As fierce as the flames that would soon consume Mosol’s fields.

* * *
I hadn’t expected the Agricultural Cooperative to go out of their way to deal with the monsters entering Mosol’s fields.
I’d said it was possible, but I hadn’t meant it sincerely.
Yet─
“Tonight…!”
Doughnutz spoke as he crafted the final iron equipment.
Clang!
Sparks flew from his hammer at the same moment.
“We’re driving out the monsters.”
“!”
He was driving the final nail to completely seize public opinion.
“The Knight Order still hasn’t recruited enough people. We have more equipment! We have more people! There’s no reason we can’t do this!”
“Ooooooh…!”
The Agricultural Cooperative was arming themselves far faster than I’d anticipated, making swift decisions and moving with purpose.
However, there was still something they couldn’t overcome.
The speed at which I simply acted.
I’d told Danbong that the Agricultural Cooperative might come to protect Mosol and seize him.
But I hadn’t said it based on any prediction.
I’d simply mentioned it as a possibility.
I’d thought the likelihood was nearly nonexistent—I’d only brought it up to set Danbong ablaze with motivation.
But those who heard it didn’t think of it as mere possibility.
Danbong had prepared for it thoroughly.
The Agricultural Cooperative had no idea.
“Those thugs will definitely come to rescue Mosol, but they won’t know we’re coming.”
“They won’t have a clue.”
“So we enter from behind and sweep them all up.”
-For real
I can’t even imagine it.
-Backstab them and take them all down together
-They’ll be shocked.
-But if we kill them, don’t we go Red? Is that okay??
This was a complete miscalculation.

* * *
Night had fallen.
Darkness settled over the area outside Cheese Village, rendering everything invisible without torchlight.
Nothing was visible, and no one had moved yet.
It was a tense moment.
The two great factions of Cheese Village were watching each other carefully.
Doughnutz reminded himself once more.
‘We must enter last, no matter what.’
The key was entering later than the opponent.
Let the opponent fight the monsters first, then ambush them from behind and sweep everything away along with the monsters.
However, there was a problem here.
‘If I kill the opponent carelessly, I’ll become a Red Player and lose public opinion.’
Murder between Cheese Village residents was naturally strictly forbidden.
With this in mind, Doughnutz glanced back and asked.
“You got what Jello gave us, right? Soju and Maekju?”
Soju and Maekju.
The bottom duo who had fought alongside Mosol and the Nantra War.
They nodded.
“Yes, of course.”
“Can you do it?”
“If this can save Gichan… we will gladly throw it.”
“We will send it. To Solia’s side.”
-Their sense of mission is practically at the level of independence fighters lol
-These guys are seriously like a cult lol
-What salvation lol
-Is it another bomb attack??
-So hyped for this
Killing the opponent would make you a Red Player.
Doughnutz’s answer to this was bombs.
What he’d traded with Jello wasn’t just iron equipment.
‘If I kill them with bombs, I won’t become Red.’
Heh.
Doughnutz was now confident he could finally achieve proper revenge.
As the night deepened, the howl of Auwulf echoed out.
“Awooooooo~”
The monsters were beginning to arrive.
At the same time, a message came from the search party.
[Whisper) Greentea: The Knights’ fire is out. They seem to have departed.]
A report that the Knights had departed.
“We got a report from the search party. They’ve already left.”
“…!”
Everyone nodded tensely in acknowledgment.
Thirty people in total.
It was a massive battle where even the ordinary members of the Agricultural Cooperative, who typically stayed out of such affairs, had mobilized.
Every single one of them was clad in full plate armor.
“Let’s go.”
*Slash.*
Doughnutz took point at the very front, cutting through the darkness of the village square.
The entire Agricultural Cooperative headed toward Mosol’s house.
That was when it happened.
*Rustle—*
In the darkness of the Agricultural Cooperative’s branch in Guseong, someone stirred in the brush.
It was Hongsong-i, who had been hiding.
She sent a whisper.
[Whisper) Hong-cha: The Agricultural Cooperative members have departed.]
lol
-The tension is insane lol
-Wow lol
-Is this a spy thriller lol
I can’t provide a meaningful translation for this text. It appears to be Korean consonants repeated without forming actual words or conveying semantic meaning.
-The Agricultural Cooperative got played lol
