Peeing!
[movement]
The orders given were simple.
Anyway, the idea is to move to that area.
It is certainly strange that the order was given to go to that area, even in this situation where they were encountering Vikings.
But none of the Joseon soldiers hesitated.
The same goes for almonds.
Sasa sasa… … !
He advanced at the forefront, cutting through the dense undergrowth.
‘Near.’
His keen senses were clearly telling him.
Besides the 20 of us, there were more enemies coming around.
Normally Pang-eo would give the sign for this, but this time he was the leader.
Almond signaled by raising his index finger and turning it in a circle.
It means that enemies are approaching.
Whirlwind.
The finger goes round one more time.
It means that enemies are surrounding you on all sides or at a density close to that.
In the midst of the confusing movement route, which was a mountain path full of bushes, the soldiers were moving forward only looking at Almond’s back, so they all accepted the signal.
Could that be why? When Almond changed his hand signal by spreading out all his fingers, everyone moved nimbly and formed a guard formation.
The procession that had been moving in a straight line spread out in a diamond shape, forming a four-column boundary.
Of course, the speed was slower than when running in a single line.
Almond decided to stick to this form.
This was not his judgment, but a manual that had already been discussed with Cookie.
He said that while moving quickly was important, it was even more important for all 20 people to go.
’20 people each taking their places near the valley.’
Almond took each step forward, repeating the key points of this operation to himself once more.
Ss …
As the speed on this side slowed down, the sound coming from the other side became clearly distinguishable.
They were running like crazy without any consideration for my situation.
‘Let’s run.’
Whoosh.
He waved his hand again, indicating his destination.
Now that the line has been roughly formed, it’s time to run again.
[Mountain people]
Factions are activated and their speed increases noticeably.
Ta-da-da-dak!
Archers running so fast that it’s hard to believe they’re running on a mountain.
However, there were factions that made Vikings move faster when moving towards the enemy, and the movement speed of melee soldiers was set to be faster from the beginning.
Pfft!
The sound of an arrow being shot rang out from the right rear.
‘already?’
puck!
The sound of an arrow slicing down a poor young tree was heard.
It wasn’t a Viking soldier who was hit.
“Whoaaaa!”
“Over there! Run!”
“Hoooooooooo!!!”
The roars of the Vikings echoed from all directions.
‘You’re yelling on purpose.’
They were making noise so that no one could tell where they were approaching from.
It definitely worked.
The voices echoed and I couldn’t concentrate on the sound of footsteps.
“Yoooooooooooooooo!!”
As their sounds gradually filled my ears, my senses became confused and confused.
The bushes blocked my view, and the sound echoed back and forth, making it difficult to hear properly. All I could feel were the tangled branches.
Almond had a hunch.
It might be greedy to want to live here.
It’s true that the priority Cookie gave him was that more people should get to their destination than quickly.
The first priority is to get there.
If things continued like this, we would be completely surrounded and it would be impossible to even arrive.
‘run.’
Almond gestured to the back of the line and began to increase his running speed.
The diamond-shaped formation that had been guarding the four pillars of destiny gradually became longer and longer.
The rhombuses gradually grew longer and longer, and eventually formed a line.
Tadadadadak!

The forest was filled with the sound of running footsteps, whether they were the footsteps of Joseon soldiers or Vikings.
The Joseon soldiers ran, seeing only the black soil and green bushes.
But─
Pfft!
At some point, Vikings burst out from the bushes.
──Bam!
A Joseon soldier is stabbed with an axe.
A soldier falls far away, as if he were a child hit by a car.
“Damn it!”
“I got hit!”
“Shoot!”
Other Joseon soldiers responded by shooting arrows.
Bang! Bang!
But it didn’t have much effect. They didn’t even think about their bodies, and just covered their heads with shields.
Thud!
chin……!
Only the dull sound of impact echoed, and none of the Vikings were dead, except for their shields, which were covered in spikes like a hedgehog’s.
“Don’t shoot!”
The carrot’s voice echoed.
“If you shoot, you’ll be delayed! You can’t win if you shoot like this anyway! Just run!”
She was right.
I just had to run.
“If we run like crazy, we’ll be faster!”
Counterattacks are usually slower than melee units because archers are slower.
Not here. Joseon soldiers move much faster than other soldiers in the mountains.
So, we have to run.
The notice is not far away.
The counterattack will begin from there.

“Why… would you choose this map?”
During the meeting about map selection, Chi Seung asked with the most puzzlement.
“okay.”
The map Heechul chose was not convincing even by the standards of the Think Tank team.
It’s good for stopping early Viking raids, but it’s tricky to use with a bow and you can’t use cavalry.
“Wouldn’t it be better to have an ancient wall?”
If it’s an ancient city wall, it basically provides a wall to protect the area, and there’s no bad factor in using archers.
“No. You can’t defeat the Vikings by simply blocking their base. Many civilizations have tried that before. But has it ever really worked?”
Chi-seung couldn’t help but shake his head at Cookie’s words.
Now that I think about it, that’s what happened.
‘That’s right… … Of course, all civilizations know this basic theory. And yet, the Vikings came in first place.’
If it had been easier to deal with the Vikings simply by blocking their early penetration of the main base, the Vikings would not have been fighting Joseon in the main battle right now.
“This Viking is very good at squeezing opponents who are blocking the early game, especially on the food side.”
Not all Vikings are the same.
Depending on how a person plays, their personality can change completely.
“As soon as the enemy shows signs of blocking the early game, Viking immediately starts controlling food throughout the map and rolls the snowball very quickly.”
“……Yes.”
This Viking team demonstrated great technological prowess in controlling food resources, which were at the core of Viking civilization.
There were even matches in the preliminaries where the enemy was not able to get a single prey.
“In particular, the ancient walls were in desert terrain, so there was little food. From the Vikings’ perspective, it was easier to control them.”
“ah.”
That’s right.
If the Vikings start controlling food from the ancient walls based on their 1st Age strength, Joseon may not be able to eat anything since there is no prey to begin with.
It was only then that I realized.
“Ah. So this is it?!”
A rugged mountain valley.
Because it is a mountainous terrain, this map has a large number of wild animals.
It was a map rich in food.
So even if the Vikings tried to monopolize food resources, it wouldn’t be easy.
In the beginning, it is difficult to invade and it is also difficult to control food.
Is this significant?
Chi Seung thought that for a moment, but soon his blind spot appeared.
“Huh? Even so, that means you have to eat only what the Vikings spilled… … .”
No matter how many wild animals there are on the map, Vikings will still take far more.
“But it is difficult to expand farmland in this mountainous terrain.”
Farming in mountainous terrain costs more money, and in the beginning, it can be more expensive than it is worth.
“Well, we don’t farm. We go hunting just like that.”
“And what if we run into Vikings? Archers won’t be able to do much in a place like this… … .”
Another big drawback of this map.
The problem was that archers were rendered useless because of the dense trees.
For Joseon, whose best offensive weapon was the bow, this was a fatal flaw.
“I’m going to use archers.”
“… … ?”
But Cookie says he uses archers.
How on earth?
“It’s technical prowess.”
“Technical skills?”
“The Vikings too. They used their technological prowess to squeeze out their opponents who were blocking them in the early stages, thereby compensating for the shortcomings of their civilization.”
“… … So, you mean to say that you are developing your skills?”
No. If you go by that logic, wouldn’t the Korean team be able to win the World Cup?
Why don’t you just improve your soccer skills?
Of course, what Cookie was talking about wasn’t some vague skill or something like that.
This means that you will learn something that can truly be called a ‘skill’.
“Ah. That may be true, but I was talking about a specific technique, Chi Seung-ah.”
Afterwards, Cookie showed a scene to the think tank members.
What appeared on the screen was an almond.
This is a scene where he is holding a tress while on a horse.
“… … !”
Everyone at the think tank was astonished.
The scene where Almond catches Tress is already a familiar scene because it is still floating around the internet.
‘You want to learn that?’
The technology used there.
I was shocked by the cookie claiming to learn that skill.
“Curve shot. If you have this, you can hit the arrow even if there are obstacles.”
Even in Persia, which can be seen as the origin of this technology, there are few soldiers who can freely use this technology.
The situation in Joseon is even worse.
Almond is the only one who can do that technique.
So, this question inevitably arises.
“How on earth?”
“There is a way.”
At that moment, Cookie points to a spot on the map as if he had been waiting.
chin.
‘Valley……?’
A valley running through the middle of a dense forest.
What’s going on here?
The next moment, Chi-seung’s eyes widen at what Cookie said.
“!”
I now know exactly why it has to be this map.
* * *
After a while, a dense forest with a valley flowing.
The archers gathered in groups of three or five.
They were all looking at one place.
It’s almonds.
“here.”
Almond speaks, pointing somewhere on the bow.
About 1/3 of the way up the bowstring.
“If you don’t hang it in the center of the bowstring, and hang it off-balance… … .”
Blood.
The arrow he shot lightly circled the tree in front and passed by, hitting the target behind accurately.
“This is it. The method is easy.”
Almond shrugs and ends the demonstration.
Clap clap clap.
The archers sitting in front of him clap their hands and say something.
“and.”
“This is crazy.”
“Well, the method is easy, right? Haha… … .”
As he said, the method itself was not difficult. To borrow the carrot metaphor, it was like a computer.
The binary system that computers use to calculate with 0 and 1 is simple and primitive in itself.
However, no human being can calculate faster than a computer.
There is no human being who can apply that simple thing to any situation and process it infinitely quickly.
The same goes for curve shots.
The problem wasn’t how to shoot, but how accurately you could hit your opponent with it.
“But how can I get used to this to the point where I can use it in real life before the main event? It’s a bit too much… … .”
All the archers could do nothing but be dumbfounded.
Cookie had special plans.
“Memorize it.”
He gave a simple order.
“Each of you take your place and memorize the curve that corresponds to the cover you can shoot from this position.”
His solution was a memorized curve shot.
It will take a lot of practice to be able to use a curve shot in any situation.
It’s different in certain situations.
It’s like a math problem. If you memorize certain formulas, you can solve certain problems very quickly.
If you modify the problem even a little, it becomes unsolvable.
So, it is of no use if the terrain changes.
Civil M’s maps only maintain the concept, but the terrain details always change.
But─
“It’s not a well-known fact, but some maps in Civil M have areas that don’t change in order to maintain the concept.”
“!”
That’s when everyone realized.
That no matter how many times they practiced, this area never changed.
“That’s right here, in the middle of a rugged mountain valley, a stream flowing.”
* * *
“Huh… … Gasp… … It’s here!”
After running breathlessly, the Joseon soldiers finally reached the valley.
That valley I had seen so many times.
Almond gestures and shouts.
“To your positions!!”
With these words, several rays of light descended in a chain from the sky.
Peeing!
ping!
[One]
[2]
[3]
[4]
.
.
.
Specific locations around the valley begin to be assigned numbers.
Uncommon and very detailed battle orders.
That meant that this battle was important.
“To the location!”
Each archer repeated the chant and moved according to his number.
The archers moved to their respective positions and drew their bows toward the Vikings.
Kiririk!
When the Vikings see the bows, they move behind cover and approach.
“atmosphere……!”
A white light slowly blooms from the tightly pulled arrow.
[Concentration]
At this moment, light falls from the sky once more.
Cheeeeeeek… … !
The light began to draw a long line on the ground. It was a curve. The curve soon closed into a circle, and it continued to repeat itself in larger and smaller forms.
Before I knew it, circles like targets were being drawn one after another.
As if each soldier were creating a ripple in a calm lake.
The identity and use of these circles was quickly apparent.
From this time on, Joseon’s archers began to let go of their bows.
“Shoot!!”
Pavabababang!
Numerous white blazing arrows flew, each drawing its own path.
