Genius Archer Streaming Season 3 Episode 149
50. Rugged mountain valley (2)
After the game starts.
Almond and all the players were summoned to the field.
200 people are packed tightly into a deep valley covered with mountains.
And─
“Waaa …
A thunderous cheer filled the stage.
The audience seats were created in the virtual world by projecting the people seated in the main stadium as they were.
Above them were also spectators from Disworld.
That means the number of spectators has more than doubled compared to the preliminary round.
“… … Wow. This feels very different.”
“her…….”
The players looked around the stands and adjusted to the changed environment.
‘The audience is just an audience.’
Almond had something more to worry about than the audience.
I guess the capsules are different.
‘There is also a bit of a capsule heterogeneity.’
Because it is a capsule shared by all athletes, not one made to fit his physical reactions.
I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was wearing something uncomfortable.
‘It’s different from when I tested it.’
I had already felt this strangeness when testing it.
After all, it couldn’t be compared to real life.
When it comes to actual situations, the sense of incongruity is felt even more clearly.
But there was no other way.
It’s all the same environment anyway. The person who adapts to this environment first will ultimately be the winner.
In that case, you have no choice but to adapt.
Almond promised so.
‘Because I’m important today.’
It’s always been that way, but today he played a particularly important role in the tactics.
* * *
Meanwhile, somewhere in the stands cheering for Joseon.
“Wow. There are, uh, so many people!”
From almond hats, almond clapping balloons, to almond cheering vests.
The Balloon Stars members whose entire bodies have turned into almonds.
-It’s embarrassing no matter where I put it…
-What is their fashion??ㅋㅋㅋ
-Miho is just an almond itself lol
Viewers were able to directly watch the cheering broadcast through the portable camera that Miho was holding.
Of course, most people will watch the game broadcast on the screen and listen to the cheering announcements like on the radio.
“Hey, Mond. When did you make something like this? I’m going to make some money. And the size is sold out.”
Bubblegum was groaning as he pulled down the vest that was continuing to rise.
-Brother, wasn’t there no size to begin with?
-No, this guy’s belly size seems bigger than his heightㅋㅋㅋ
-Miracle ratio lol
-Iron ball form is crazy;
Regardless of whether or not the bubble gum size was original, the almond goods definitely sold well.
Just looking around with my own eyes, I could see that there were already a lot of people buying almond goods.
In particular, the almond hat, which at first glance resembled a rugby ball, stood out even from a distance.
There were quite a few almonds sprouting up all over the stands.
“Of course. Almost 30% of the national team cheering squad are probably Almond fans.”
Miho says this with some kind of pride.
“Why are you proud of that?”
“Ah, no. That… … Well, aren’t we on the same team? Us too.”
Miho straightened her pink hair for no reason and put her almond hat back on.
So that it can be seen very well even from far away.
──Bam!
At that moment, Bubblegum’s back snaps forward as if it were flying forward.
“Ugh!?”
“Oh my! Brother! Pay attention!”
The strawberry shooter hit the back.
“Aww, aww… … Hey! This isn’t Disworld!”
“Oh. Right. Sorry, Oppa.”
-What the heck lol
-Oh my gosh lol
-What the heckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Ugh lol
-I thought it was Thisworld lol

-Ah, that’s so funny lol
Bubblegum wanted to say something, but his body, gripped by primal fear, refused to open its mouth.
“Okay. I bought it~ Huh? Brother, why are you lying on the floor?”
Takoyaki appeared with almond popcorn.
“Ah. I’m going to stretch for a bit. Stretching. Hahaha. Wahaha… … .”
“Here. Miho’s too~ Strawberries… You said you weren’t going to eat them, right?”
“Yes. Men won’t eat anything that doesn’t contain protein.”
-?
-??
-Just do one
-lol
Bubblegum looked as if he had a lot to say for a moment, but he quietly put the almond popcorn into his mouth.
“Hmm? Are you okay?”
When I heard it was almond popcorn, I thought the combination was a bit odd.
The almonds are a nice touch and the sweet honey coating feels like almond flakes have been sprinkled on top.
The texture is good and it feels like it has everything, sweet and salty.
“Hahaha. It’s delicious. You guys. It’s sweet.”
-What? The visuals are nice.
-Are you selling almond popcorn now??ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-What’s wrong with the quality of the goods?
-Is it like an almond pretzel??
“Hoo? Amon~do. This kid is pretty good, huh?”
“Wow. It’s delicious.”
Crackle. Crackle.
Miho and Takoyaki also happily stuffed popcorn into their mouths.
Meanwhile, the game began in earnest.
The audience all looked down at the stadium with expectant eyes.
Because I don’t know how the hologram will be expressed.
“oh……?!”
As various lights shot out and mixed together, the terrain of the stadium gradually began to change.
It didn’t feel like a hologram, but like the real ground was changing.
“and……!”
[Rugged mountain valley]
The name of the map flashes briefly and then disappears.
“Oh, no, but if you look at it like this, doesn’t it look too small?”
A situation where the movements of 400 people can be seen at once.
I saw little people running around along the ridge of the mountain valley.
But of course, they are so small that they cannot be distinguished one by one.
At that moment─
“Ohhh?”
Swish.
It starts to zoom in, guided by the observer.
Same magnification as what you see on the live screen.
So, it’s as if the entire stadium has become a giant broadcast screen.
However, the way the broadcast screen is displayed is in 3D over the stadium as if it were real.
-Wow
-mch
-Hey, is this Civil M?
-and
-Is it worth going to the site?
-Oh, shit
As the observer moved his/her viewpoint, the holographic lights would work diligently to quickly recreate the new terrain of the area in 3D.
Spectators were able to watch the game as if it were happening right before their eyes.
“Wow, it looks good.”
“I guess it’s been a while since we started reconnaissance?”
“Anyone know how to see this?”
“Ooh, let’s listen to the commentary. Commentary.”
They each put a relay audio device in one ear.
Started cheering.
* * *
In the rugged mountain valleys, Joseon soldiers could move much faster than Vikings.
“In the first era, Joseon soldiers never approached anyone.”
Even without the axe, the Vikings’ fighting prowess in the First Age was impressive.
Basically, the Viking’s health is set high, so even if they attack each other equally, the Viking will live and the opponent will die.
So there was no point in fighting the Vikings in the First Age.
Joseon took advantage of the terrain of the mountain valley and ran away like crazy when they encountered them.
“No, King Gyul! If we can last until the 2nd era like this, wouldn’t that be great?”
“That’s right. I guess that’s what it’ll be like? Given the nature of this map.”
I don’t know how this map will determine the outcome later, but one thing is certain.
The tactic of the Vikings who came in the 1st era was to block them at the source.
“It’s mostly mountainous terrain, the entrances are quite narrow, and almost all resources are protected by the town hall. Even in the 1st era, it doesn’t cause much damage.”
“Ahhh. As a Viking with a strong early game, this is quite disappointing!?”
The Vikings were a civilization that had to survive later on based on the early advantages they had, so if they wasted the First Age, their chances of winning would have been low.
So rather than just rushing into enemy territory, they tried to look much further ahead.
“But didn’t the Vikings have this initiative in the First Age?”
“Ah. That’s right. If you encounter Joseon, you have to run away first!”
Vikings were free to explore any land they wanted during the First Age.
“The Vikings will probably use this map dominance to sweep up a lot of prey. Especially since the Danish Vikings are quite adept at this tactic.”
“Ah… …! You’re controlling food?”
In Civil M, map dominance can mean monopolizing food.
Food is a key resource used to supplement soldiers and workers, as well as for maintenance costs.
This is especially true for the Vikings, who depend heavily on the fighting prowess of their soldiers.
“Yes. And control! Vikings were originally a civilization where people were considered assets. Food was very important, right? They also stocked up on food.”
As King Gul said, the Vikings of the First Age were spread out in various places, hunting wild animals and such.
On the other hand, Joseon was weak in hunting despite its faster movement speed.
Because we don’t meet, we have to put more effort into it.
“Ah… … Joseon is currently falling behind in securing game. Is this okay? It’s not easy to create farmland because of the mountainous terrain.”
“So we need to get through the 2nd era as quickly as possible? Ah… … The moment I say that!?”
Ta-da.
[Joseon enters the 2nd era.]
Joseon entered the 2nd era at an astonishing speed.
“Wow. This is really incredible speed!?”
“When I was doing the archer rush in Fast 2, I got a sudden speed increase. Now Cookie! You know this map well! Right!?”
Cookie was 100% sure that there was nothing the Vikings couldn’t do on this map in the 1st Era.
We could have gone straight into the 2nd era without any investment in defense.
Not a single penny or second of time was wasted.
-It’s really fast
-and
-The Vikings must have been creepy lol
“Map selection! This has its advantages too! You must have practiced it before!”
“That’s right. Joseon knew for sure that this map would come out! They must have practiced the best techniques!”
King Gyul, who had been wondering about the map, also started to raise his voice as if he was quite excited from this point on.
“But what I’m worried about is! Are we going straight into the 3rd century from here? Or are we going to have a food war even a little bit? That’s the problem.”
“Ah. That’s right. If we go straight to the 3rd hour and try to secure food from then, it might be too late!”
It was a foregone conclusion that everyone expected it to run until the 2nd era.
But from here on out, it’s a crossroads of choice.
Should I gradually drive out the Vikings with my 2nd Age troops and secure food?
Should we minimize food and force a 3-hour shift?
“But! If we force it to the 3rd era here! There’s not enough food, so every time we die, the risk is too great?!”
“Yes. So you’re saying I have to go out a bit in the 2nd era… … This is where the map’s dilemma comes in?!”
“Ah. A dilemma?!”’
“Yes! Let’s select archers! There are too many trees here! Is it right to shoot arrows here? It’s not very efficient?”
“ah……!”
That’s right.
These dense trees.
These were quite a hindrance to the archers.
“But you’re going to attack the Vikings in melee with mere 2nd era weapons?! Even if they’re 1st era Vikings! This is completely impossible! The Vikings will soon catch up with the 2nd era!”
-thief
-Even with the time difference, close combat isn’t possible?
-Then what the heck is it?
-What should I do?
thud.
[Archery Training School]
Meanwhile, archery training centers began to be established in Joseon.
“Huh… …? Just pick shortbowmen? Just force them to go with archers!?”
“Joseon! First of all, we’re not going to the 3rd era!? Stop for now. You’re going out to secure food now!”
Short bows were subsequently produced in the blacksmith shop.
“The short bow is out! Are you really going?!”
The soldiers were moving towards the main camp one by one to receive their short bows.
“This is… … Let’s just fight Vikings in the forest!? This is it! Is this the right thing to do with the map selection option?!”
Among them, the one who stood out the most was Almond.
“Huh? Is Almond getting the short bow for the first time this time? What’s wrong with the lineup right now?”
“Oh. So Almond is the leader? I’ve only heard that he did this a few times during scrims. This is the first time I’ve seen it in a real match!?”
Joseon’s movements were somewhat different from usual.
-Really
-What is this strategy!??
-Just “give me almonds” is the strategy lol
-What if Diamond is dispatched?
