Genius Archer Streaming Season 3 Episode 193
64. Elephant (1)
An arrow shot by Almond instantly knocks down one of the soldiers on the defensive tower.
“Ahhhh!? Did I get that right!?”
“Huh!? What the!? We were all hiding! Did you let your guard down for a moment while I was retreating!?”
This alone is surprising. That soldier was not just any ordinary soldier.
“Hey, wait a minute. This is… … Kenin!? It’s Kenin!?”
“Kenin died again!?”
“No, then this isn’t some kind of assassination or anything. You just went to see Kenin!?”
Almond found Kenin and went to shoot him. At least that’s what it seemed to the commentators.
-Keto porridge lol
-Much kekekekekekekekeke
-The ending is so annoying lol
-Wow
-But if you kill Kenin and Almond dies, isn’t that a total loss? LOL
“Did you drive in reverse to kill Almond Kenin!? You’re in danger right now!?”
-LOL
-???: I only beat one guy
-Kenin, this is really humiliating.
-What crime did I commit to deserve this… … .
“Since the attack was already over, you judged that the archers who came in here would almost certainly die, so you went ahead and did it!?”
It was definitely a good move in terms of cutting down the opponent’s ace.
Since food is scarce in this map, it takes some time for someone who has died to be resurrected.
“Yes. It seems like that’s the judgment!? And because of the almond movement just now! For a moment, all the tower archers’ eyes were focused on it!”
“Oh! That’s right! I hope something happens during this gap!”
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the arrows of the entire defense tower were pointed at him.
Pava ba bang!
Arrows rained down, seemingly symbolizing hostility toward Almond.
What this means is that the other Joseon archers were momentarily left unmarked.
The commander did not miss this opportunity.
Peeing.
[movement]
“Archers! Change your position in an instant and dig towards the gold mine!?”
Joseon went after gold mines even though it could have gone after timber.
“This is for future use!”
They judged that it would be difficult to finish it in the 2nd era, so they targeted gold, a resource that would be greatly needed after the 3rd era.
It was a perfect hit for Persia, whose eyes were focused on wood and almonds.
“Workers die! One! Two!”
“Three! Ooooh yes, yes, six!”
“Is this too much!? Now, ah. Seven! Do it until seven!”
Pangeo and his party dug deep into the base camp and captured a considerable number of workers.
I wondered if the damage could continue like this.
“Ah, the archers are about to start shooting!”
Pava ba bang!
A torrent of arrows rains down from the Persian camp, but they are soon subdued.
“Ah. Warrior! But it’s better than just retreating, right?”
Even this was a gap created by buying time.
If I hadn’t done this, I wouldn’t have been able to cause any damage to the workers.
“Yes. Almond gave me a big chance!”
“Eh… … Almond Warrior! Ah, you’re finally going to die. It’s okay. But I think you’ve made an equal exchange.”
Because we entered a place with so many defense towers, Almond eventually died without being able to buy any more time.
“Now that we’ve come this far, there’s nothing we can do about it, right?”
“Yes. If you live there, Joseon will receive a balance patch.”
-ㅋㅋㅋBalance pack ㅋㅋㅋ
-That’s a super play lol
-Kkb
-The rush is a bit blocked
“Anyway, Joseon has now launched an early rush. The harvest wasn’t great. It feels like they just made back their initial investment.”
“Yes. Something inside… … It didn’t feel like my hands and feet were fitting together properly.”
“On the other hand, Persia’s prepared turtling shone?”
“That’s right. The Persians are so skilled at defensive tactics that they probably don’t need separate orders from their commanders!”
The relay screen does not display the orders unless the observer superimposes them onto the commander’s personal screen.
That’s why there were quite a few people who guessed that it was a problem with the changed commander.
-If it were a cookie… …
-It’s getting over it, but it looks a bit difficult.
-Honestly, there is a bit of a difference in the commander’s capabilities.
-ㅠㅠ
-Is it because the commander changed? It seems a bit rough.

-Why did you change the commander?
This reaction was natural. The commander is the single most influential person in this game.
Moreover, it was the first time that Choi Go-dae Soon-shin had competed in a match.
King Gul was also worried about that.
“As a rookie commander, this situation may be difficult. You need to keep your mentality in check.”
“Yes. The rush wasn’t bad, was it?”
It was good until the first 2nd era archer rush.
It is good for continuing the momentum from before, and for establishing the perception that Joseon has an advantage in the archer-to-archer structure.
However, whenever this timing rush is blocked, commanders become shaken, especially against civilizations like Persia.
‘however…….’
King Gyul looked closely at the commander’s expression on the monitor for a moment, then scratched his head.
‘There is no change in expression.’
The commander’s expression was no different from the first time.
Are you mentally sound?
There is one phenomenon that is even stranger than that.
‘When I look at this person’s face, why are my eyes watering…?’
King Gyul rubbed his eyes as he felt his body reacting to something.
It’s a strange phenomenon.
He tried to ignore this feeling and focused on the commentary for the time being.
“Ah. For now, it’s time for Joseon to slowly prepare for the Third Era and devise a different strategy.”
“Yes. On the other hand, Persia is now starting to give out free upgrades, gradually turning time on their side.”
“Yes, because the upgrades don’t cost any gold. With this gold, you can now use things like elephants and mounted archers?”
“On the other hand, what kind of technology will Joseon show in the 3rd era? For now, there are just the infantry archers, horse archers, and sidearms, etc.”
“You must be worried right now. Since it’s your first time, I don’t think it’s possible to use a lot of force. Play it safe… .”
* * *
“Huh? Hey. Seonghyun is out. He’s in the game! Are you crazy!? He’s really out!?”
A large TV hanging in a spacious house.
In front of them, three men were gathered together and drinking beer.
Until about 10 minutes ago, they weren’t really interested in what was being broadcast on TV.
I just vaguely heard the conversation and focused more on their conversation among themselves.
Because it’s been a while since the three of us gathered together.
“Seonghyun came out? What… Can he really do it? Wasn’t he just strategizing?”
“You could say that the commander-in-chief just moves his hands. So he retired and played that game? All day?”
The person they called Seonghyeon was appearing on TV with a face quite different from the one they knew.
Then someone mutters in a bitter voice.
“Now we’re all here. Ah… …except for space.”
This is the player ‘Banana’ who was a jungler.
“What about him…? He still hates it that much?”
Popcorn asked cautiously.
“Well… I don’t know. The game is still good.”
“Yeah. Well, we each live our own lives. Let’s just do it!”
Popcorn lifted his beer mug.
“CK Assemble! Done!”
“Ta-da~”
The rest gulped down their drinks, clinking their glasses together and grumbling.
After the commander changed, they started to focus on the game.
No one knows much about Civil M except for Popcorn, but Civil M itself is not a game that requires a high level of understanding to watch, so watching it was not a problem.
So they could notice it right away.
“Hey… isn’t this a bit difficult?”
That the flow of the game is not good.
Popcorn nodded in agreement.
“Ah. Hmm. I guess so.”
Everyone’s expressions are getting worse.
One person in particular.
“Uh uh… … This will be the first competition since then… … Uh, what should I do… … ? Am I going to lose my mind… … .”
Marshmallow, the supporter, mutters worriedly.
“Ah. What are you blabbering on about again? Just watch, Inma. No matter how long it’s been since you last saw him, how can his mental state be shaken?”
“Ah, uh… … Is that so… … ?”
“Don’t worry, they’re much stronger than trash like us.”
Even this kind of persecution of popcorn was not without its worries.
And yet he believed.
Just like when I was a player.
“Our center has been shaken, but it has never been broken.”
Even the ordeal of not being able to walk could not break her.
She will find a way.
Popcorn believed so.
* * *
As time passed, the blows Joseon had inflicted during the 2nd period became less important to the game itself.
Persia recovered as if nothing had happened.
And the two camps rose side by side into the 3rd era.
Ta-da.
[Joseon – 3rd period]
[Persia – 3rd Age]
As soon as Joseon entered the Third Age, it began producing bows.
Persia is… … .
“Persia. Soon… … .”
Along with the tense voices of the relay team, the thing that Joseon civilization fears the most and at the same time, the thing that Persia is most proud of, appeared.
Phew oh oh—
The largest animal on earth.
In real history, war elephants were the terror of all foreign countries.
“An elephant has appeared!”
“Ahh. I get to see this again today!”
“Yes. Surprisingly, it’s a unit that doesn’t come out that well unless you’re using it against a bow civilization.”
“War elephants are not a very cost-effective option.”
“That’s right. To be exact, the difference in efficiency is quite drastic depending on the situation.”
The greatest weakness of the archery civilization is its stone walls and sheet metal.
These two attributes are almost like taking no damage from bows.
“In Civil Empire, ranged attacks on ‘mounts’ barely do any damage due to game-related reasons?”
This is to prevent a situation where a horseman gets hit by an arrow while riding and falls over.
Just like the case of killing allies with a bow has been eliminated, this is also a setting for the convenience of gamers.
“But elephants are also ‘vehicles’!?”
In a way, it is only natural that the giant elephant is also treated as a ‘vehicle’.
The problem, however, is that elephants are not simply vehicles that help us move.
“It’s the only mount that attacks!”
“you’re right.”
Elephants can easily clear away stone walls with their massive tusks, and even defensive towers can be irreparably damaged after one or two blows from an elephant.
“More than anything! Falling down and the infantry falling! It’s really frustrating to be on the receiving end of this!”
Even at the moment of death, you don’t just die.
If an infantryman is crushed under the corpse of a dying elephant, he will either die instantly or be incapacitated.
“Every single movement is a critical damage!”
If you get hit by the foot of a walking elephant, you will be knocked back far away and will be unable to fight.
“The damage an elephant takes is completely unrealistic! But the damage an elephant gives is way too realistic!?”
King Gul’s expression was exactly right.
Whether it was intentional or not, somehow elephants ended up receiving too many special privileges in the game system.
-Really lol
– Optional matrix ㄷㄷ
-But how much does it cost if it’s bad compared to other civilizations?
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋI feel dizzy just looking at it
-You’re saying it gives damage even when you fall?? ㄷㄷ
The reason why Civil Empire didn’t get much criticism for its balance was simple.
“But it’s so damn expensive!”
Because elephants are so expensive.
“That’s almost the price of a building?”
“Yes! If you buy the building, you can at least pay rent! This guy just eats!?”
First of all, it costs too much gold to purchase it.
-Ugh lol
-That’s not the building… …
-Much ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-The best Minsu, the greatest Nokak
-It’s really pure Flex lol
-Maintenance costs ㄷㄷ
“Maintenance costs are almost the same as Ferrari or Lamborghini, right?”
“It’s hard to even compare it to that! You have to compare it to the latest tanks!”
It’s not just gold.
Elephants are also the only vehicles that consume ‘food’.
In this game, food is a resource that is only consumed by players and workers.
Oddly enough, elephants eat food.
That too, a lot.
“So now Persia! Gather five elephants! Let’s just go in!?”
“Joseon! Do you know now!?”
Persia was the first to launch an attack on the main battlefield.
Kukukukukuku… … !
The tremors of the earth reverberated throughout the region.
“Persian soldiers now! Aren’t you so determined!? Even though it looks like just five elephants! In fact, there could be more at stake!?”
“Yes! I heard that the Persian fans are as passionate as the Spanish fans!? This will be very burdensome! So! Joseon will be able to stop it!”
-Get ready lol
-ㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ There’s more ㅋㅋㅋ
-Caster, I hope you win without any logic lol
-Everyone’s elephant was walked… …!
-???: 100 elephants, 100 more.
-Hahaha
