The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 125
40. Staring into the Fire (2)
Danmuji.
I’d been watching this person beside me for quite a long time.
‘Hmm. Danbong, he’s….’
Of course, that’s by Cheese Village’s time standard.
In reality, aside from running into him in the mid-lane during the Nant match, we’d only known each other for two days.
‘Hmm. Looking at it….’
Still, I could say I know Danmuji—or rather, Danbong—quite well now.
Of course, that’s just my own assessment.
‘The kid’s genuinely kind.’
This isn’t sarcasm.
As you live, you encounter such people.
Those born inherently virtuous. People who simply struggle to inconvenience others or speak harshly to anyone.
Though Danmuji sometimes forces himself to pressure Gobong, one’s true nature always reveals itself.
If he doesn’t artificially pump up the energy for entertainment, Danmuji can’t bring himself to kick Gobong’s rear.
It’s merely the desperate struggle of someone not yet fully established as a streamer in the professional scene, trying to save his broadcast.
Hahaha
-Danbong’s broadcast is thriving
-What’s with the viewers?
-Danbong’s really betting everything on this event;
Were people’s reactions actually not good?
So he needed to gradually realize it.
In this industry, a virtuous nature had a high probability of being a hindrance.
‘The Knights’ Order does rough work, after all.’
I wanted to teach him that as a senior (?) in the industry.
‘I should be the one to teach him.’
With that, I brought up the Agricultural Cooperative.
To make them boil over even more.
“Let the Agricultural Cooperative handle the monster extermination first. The Knights’ Order’s reputation is on the line.”
“!”
“You’re definitely going to exploit that politically too, aren’t you? According to what you said.”
“That… that can’t be….”
It was certainly effective.
No matter how innocent someone is, they can’t tolerate interference with their own interests.
‘Grandmother always said you shouldn’t carelessly touch someone else’s rice bowl.’
Even a pushover like Danmuji lights up at the sight of his livelihood.
Right now, in his mind, the Agricultural Cooperative wasn’t just touching the Knights’ Order’s rice bowl—they were practically kicking it over.
The Agricultural Cooperative was the devil.
“Those… those bastards… they’ve finally crossed the line. A healing game, they said!! Do whatever you want, they said!!!”
-?
-Not crossed yet lol
-But it could be crossed lol
-Dark Danbong D
-Agricultural Cooperative said it was a healing game lol
-Hahaha lol
-Danbong evolves~! [Skull Danbong]
“I need to make sure we capitalize on this opportunity.”
Muttering to myself, I began calculating every possible scenario on my own.
“What if our routes overlap with Agricultural Cooperative’s?”
I posed the question to myself and answered it myself.
“Ah. I think we should do it this way.”
Tap tap tap.
I sketched out the routes on the blackboard.
“They might try to play a mind game with us. In that case, we should let them think we’re not aware of anything.”
I began formulating a strategy.
From deceiving the enemy to the process of setting the fire.
“Simply setting a fire won’t work. The flames need to surround the enemies in the shape we want. We need fuel to control the fire’s direction.”
“How? We don’t have oil.”
“Hmm… Here’s what I’m thinking.”
Snap.
I picked up a candle from Hong-cha’s place.
“These candles. The NPCs sell them casually at the village shop, but aren’t these actually really flammable and high-quality oil?”
“Oh….”
Almond nodded in agreement.
It certainly seemed like it would work.
It would maintain the flames far more efficiently than something like dry firewood.
-These crazy guys lol
-I never thought I’d hear this live
-Lol a robbery meeting
“So what shape should we make?”
“If we set it up like this, the enemies won’t be able to escape… and we….”
Whoosh.
I started drawing a diagram on the scroll.
Almond watched and then spoke to Gobong.
“Gobong. Go with Resong and set things up first. We don’t have time.”
“Yes!”
Gobong shot out like an arrow, clutching the money for candles.
‘This is working well.’
With me fired up, things were progressing smoothly.
And so, time passed.

* * *
“I’ll turn off the lights as if we’ve left.”
Following Danmuji’s plan, everyone extinguished the lights and waited in hiding inside Danmuzip.
Of course, we’d also disabled our nicknames so they wouldn’t be visible from a distance.
Ding.
[Whisper] Hong-cha: The Agricultural Cooperative guys have departed.]
A whisper message arrives for Hongsong-i, who had been dispatched.
Seeing the lights go out, they’d assumed we’d already left.
-Did we really get them?
lol
I cannot provide a reliable translation for this text as it appears to contain non-standard characters or corrupted text that doesn’t form coherent Korean words.
-What’s Danbong’s plan!
-Danbong with evil intent is formidable…
-Haha
Danmuji, having seen the whisper, gives an order.
“They’ve departed. That means there are Agricultural Cooperative thugs watching us nearby. We need to be careful when we go out. And….”
He added while opening a secret back door he’d prepared in advance.
“When you kill your opponents, you must burn them to death. We can’t have them turn into Red Players.”
“Okay.”
I nod and follow, and the Knights slowly cross through Cheese Village as night descends.
Awooooooo──
Beneath the moonlight, the sound of monsters swarming can be heard.

* * *
The Agricultural Cooperative waited near Mosol’s residence.
“Where are they? Those guys.”
Doughnutz scans the surroundings.
There’s no sign of the Knight Order.
“Monsters will show up when they show up.”
Ppulranem responds half-heartedly while glancing toward Greentea.
“Hey. Greentea. You saw it clearly, right?”
“Of course. The fire was already completely out. They said they go ahead and wait, right? It was the same with Hong-cha.”
Greentea remembers precisely that moment when they’d appeared as if on cue.
“Hmm… Let’s trust them for now.”
The Agricultural Cooperative decided to wait.
Thud thud thud…!
Moments later, the ground trembled.
The monsters were beginning to approach.
“Once Mosol takes some damage, they’ll appear. That way it’ll look like they’re saving him.”
Greentea predicts they’ll use the same method they’d employed with Hong-cha.
No one particularly doubted this assessment.
Restoring honor, rescuing Mosol, and recruiting him.
They couldn’t imagine the Knight Order having any other purpose beyond that.
Otherwise, why would they rush in to block the monsters?
“They’ll come….”
So Doughnutz firmly believed as well.
That they would come.
“Auwuuuuuuu!”
The Auwulf’s howl is now right at their doorstep.
Thud thud thud thud!
The Ttududoji burrow through the ground and emerge one by one, beginning to destroy the fields.
“Argh! These damn things! Why did you come to our house!?”
Mosol burst out.
He was holding what appeared to be a bronze sword he’d obtained from somewhere.
Slash! Swish!
His skill was quite impressive, and the Ttududoji fell more easily than expected.
But the real difficulty wasn’t the Ttududoji.
It was the same with Hong-cha.
“Grrrrr!”
“Woof! Woof!!”
The Auwulves begin to surround him.
Click.
Mosol stands against the Auwulves while holding a wooden shield.
“Hrraaah! Hrragh!”
Thwack!
Block and strike, block and strike.
I fell them one by one with the precision of a machine.
-Wow
-Mosol’s physicality is unreal lol
-Can’t match the young guy’s skill
-Slow it down lol
-lololol what is this???
-He’s blocking that with a bronze sword??
-With a wooden shield and bronze sword lol lol he’s insane lol
“Ugh! Behind, behind me!”
Crack!
But the terror of the Auwulves was their all-directional assault.
“Damn, damn… what, what do I do? Huh? Send me a whisper? W-who to!?”
He seemed to be conversing with the viewers while searching for a way out of this predicament.
“Actually, running away looks like the better option!? Let me grab some stuff and flee!”
I raised my shield and slowly backed away, pressing my back against the cabin wall.
Attacks from behind could no longer reach me.
At this point, anxious remarks began coming from the Agricultural Cooperative side.
“When the hell are these guys coming?”
“Is this right?”
“Shouldn’t we just rescue him ourselves?”
The Knights showed no sign of coming at all.
The concern was that Mosol would die at this rate.
“If that’s the case, we rescue him and gain the honor ourselves? Then we can just criticize the Knights for what they were doing, right?”
Ppulranem seemed to think that made sense and began stirring restlessly.
“Wait!”
Doughnutz decided to think a bit longer.
“Mosol is still holding strong. Let’s wait.”
I needed to enter at a more dramatic moment.
But that dramatic moment came faster than expected.
The Knights created it.
Whoooosh!!
Suddenly the area behind me began to feel warm.
The sky lit up in crimson.
“!?”
“What, what is it!”
“A forest fire! A forest fire!”
Mosol’s cabin was located on the outskirts of the village, and there were many trees here.
Once the fire catches, there’s no shortage of fuel to burn.
And it spreads incredibly fast.
Whoooosh!
The Agricultural Cooperative, focused solely on Mosol, couldn’t even react until they were completely surrounded.
-Yikes
-What
-Fire??
-Whoa
-They’re all gonna die?
-Ugh
Everyone in the Agricultural Cooperative fell into chaos, but Doughnutz remained surprisingly calm.
“Did a fire-breathing monster join in?”
He muttered this to himself, then stood up and casually surveyed an escape route.
After all, fire like this would just pass in a moment.
“Let’s pull back for now. We can’t proceed because of the fire. And I don’t see the Knights either.”
He made a very sound judgment.
Simply retreat temporarily.
Until the fire dies down.
But there was something he’d overlooked.
This fire wasn’t going to die down.
Whoooooosh!!!
“?”
It wasn’t just some simple fire scattered by a slash-and-burn farmer.
It was growing into a full-fledged wildfire, a raging inferno.
As if someone kept igniting it continuously.
It wasn’t something you could just jump over in one leap.
And Survival Craft was a rather well-made survival game.
All sorts of status ailments were prepared.
Ding!
[Respiratory Distress – 15%]
[Gas concentration in the air is high!]
“Gasp…!”
“Ugh, w-what do we do!?”
The Agricultural Cooperative panicked at the mention of gas concentration.
“Retreat! Fall back!”
Doughnutz tried to pivot backward with more urgency than before.
“W-wait, where are we going? Do you know how big this fire is!?”
Then Ppulranem pointed somewhere.
“…There, over there! That way! That’s the way!”
Spotting an opening, they dashed forward.
“Follow! Follow!”
Fire makes humans desperate. Perhaps it’s an instinct carved into our DNA.
Even in a game, the flames wrapping around from all sides whipped everyone forward, driving them down the worst possible path.
For a moment, they thought that place was an exit.
Whoosh…!
The red curtain of flames parted, and the true protagonist of this stage made their entrance.
Ppulranem’s eyes doubted what they saw.
‘What is this.’
The flames reflected off the iron armor flickered like a demon grinning wickedly.
It opened its mouth wide and spoke.
“Chiki-cha!”
Boom!
The Armored Knight kicked Ppulranem hard.
Ppulranem and the Agricultural Cooperative members who’d been following in a line all tumbled down.
‘What is this.’
‘Huh?’
‘What on earth…’
Thump.
They suddenly sat down and stared blankly at the knights.
-lmaooooooooo
-What???lol
-Huh???
-They started the fire?!?
-lololololololololol
-Insanelol
-Plot twist omg
-Hahahahaha
-Are they actually demons lol
-Wait is this a fire-gazing stream? So healing! This is a healing game!
-Campfire (firewood: themselves)
