Genius Archer Streaming Season 3 Episode 317
102. The Bigger Picture (4)
Before Almond shoots the arrow.
Joseon was adding one more move.
Other barbarian soldiers and archers immediately rushed to the vicinity of the Roman camp.
The move appeared to be a ‘diversionary tactic’.
As if almonds and carrots were the bait and this side was the main body.
“Fake with Cookie Troops. This is good, right? Confusing, right!?”
Anton’s gaze also had to be greatly dispersed for a moment.
The movements of the Roman army were divided accordingly.
Meanwhile, Almond’s arrow flies.
“And, almonds!! You shot it!?”
It would not be an exaggeration to say that one shot from Almond almost decided the outcome of the second game.
Swwww… … .
Unlike previous shooting events where the shots were fired at a fairly high speed, the time passing by is clearly felt, like in an Olympic shot put event.
The path the arrow draws is a parabola at its limit.
The distance an arrow could fly was a very long distance, almost to the limit.
“Oh, is that right!?”
ha.
The breath Almond had been holding was exhaled, and the arrow flew towards the priest’s head with surprising accuracy.
-thief
-omg
-It’s big
-Wow
-and
-F*ck, is this okay?
‘That’s right.’
Even Almond thought so at that moment.
“!”
His eyes widen.
“Ahhh!?”
All the commentators are also shocked.
-??
-omg
-?
-ah
Empty… … !
A large shield pops out and blocks the arrows.
Everyone on the broadcast screen had the same expression. Even the spectators on the Roman side.
The only one with a different expression among them is Anto, captured on the commander’s cam.
The corners of his mouth rarely rise.
As if satisfied.
It was as if a fisherman who had only been catching small fish had finally caught the big fish he had been aiming for.
This fisherman, who has experienced countless rough seas, knows how to endure and persevere, but at this moment, he smiles.
His laughter meant a sweet reward for long patience, but for some it was a certain death.
“Wow, there was such a surefire way!?”
“Ah, no… … Th, this!?”
Anton knew exactly how to target the priest, so he chose the simplest and most surefire method.
“This was completely overhead by Anton!?”
Just have one person with a shield wait next to the priest.
All he had to know was which direction the arrow was supposed to come from.
In fact, he didn’t even need to stop the almonds from climbing the mountain, and it didn’t matter if the Joseon falcons were watching them all.
Rather, that too was within the category of calculation.
If Joseon doesn’t use the whip now, when will it use it?
“How many steps ahead did you see!? Anto!!”
In fact, Anto deliberately gave Joseon the path.
He gave his deepest heart, knowing that the most capable people would be dispatched for the most important mission in Joseon.
The deepest place where you can completely end your enemies is, in other words, a swamp from which you can never get out once you enter.
Sreung!
Roman soldiers begin to appear behind the almonds and carrots, pulling out their swords.
“iced coffee…….”
The relay team sighs.
“No, and the Joseon main force is just going straight through the entrance, causing chaos! And yet, there’s no wavering at all!?”
The main force was also slowly but surely being blocked.
Since it was a strategy close to a feint operation from the beginning, it was natural that a proper fight would be avoided.
“Ah, this is it! I used illusion! If the opponent just knows, there’s no way!?”
“Hey, can I get out of this!?”
“That can’t be true! Almonds and carrots are too deep!?”

“Then what should we do!? Joseon!”
“I can barely see the method! This is like being completely sucked in by Anto! I’ve been completely fooled!”
-You’re done
-and……
-omg;
-Is this the design??
-???: You were kidnapped
* * *
Roman soldiers could quickly find the almonds by seeing where the arrows were shot.
Almonds and carrots were quickly surrounded.
“shit.”
Almond turns to the priest once more.
I see someone holding a shield.
It’s a familiar face.
[Pierre]
Like Joseon, Rome also assigned its most important people to the most important tasks.
‘Shall we try?’
Almond pushes ahead even after confirming his opponent.
“Carrot. Give me some time.”
Carrots understand right away.
“Yeah. I can’t help it.”
She pulls a flag towards the soldiers rushing behind her.
Almond runs over the top of the mountain and down the other side of the mountain, leaving the carrot behind.
“Kill him! Chase him!”
“That won’t work.”
As the Roman army charges, Carrot fires a flurry of arrows.
Paaang!
Pavabang!
The Roman army, which had been charging recklessly due to the carrot’s rapid fire ability, hesitates.
Even one of them died instantly. They were too careless because they were completely behind them. Eventually, they put up a shield. Movement speed is reduced.
The carrot continues to pull the strings while running backwards through the gap.
Thud!
Thud!
The shield blocked all the arrows, but it didn’t matter.
‘please.’
Her eyes were looking at Almond’s back.
Almond’s back moves thickly and he pulls the bowstring again.
He’s after the priests once again.
‘Guess me… … Almond!’
* * *
“What, carrots are killing time!? Almonds!?”
“Carrot now! Jump backwards as a mountain tribe and do a moving shot! They’re providing complete cover! Is this the Roman army!? Is this really a mountainous area!?”
“Are you saying Joseon!? Mountain paths don’t lead to Rome!?”
-lol
-A people of mountaineering
-A country where mountaineering clothes are the uniform
-nice
-Ah, Rome is flat, lol
“Almond! Try again!”
Paaang!
Almond’s arrows aim for the priest again.
‘shit.’
Almonds know too.
You already know where to shoot, what angle to shoot at, and who to shoot at… … .
‘If it’s that guy.’
Pierre said he could stop everything.
“But Pierre, waiting at the exact location… … Huh!?”
──Phew!
A white light explodes from the head of the Roman worker.
He was not a priest.
“… …!?”
Almonds started targeting workers.
dump.
The worker falls, and he runs back down the mountainside.
Kiririk─
And pull the arrow.
‘A worker?’
Pierre also looks at the worker and the priest alternately, seemingly confused for a moment.
[Concentration]
After 3 seconds of concentration.
Almonds put up a protest.
Paaaaang!
Arrows fly, carrots get cut by swords.
pop!
Another hit on the head of the Roman worker.
Carrot’s health is reduced by half.
[50% Stamina]
Pierre’s eyes twitch.
Workers are collapsing before our eyes.
Kiririk─
Almond pulls the bowstring again.
He takes a seat at the edge of the bushes, and this time he turns his upper body backwards.
The demonstration is directed towards the carrots, not towards the Roman main base.
──Phew!
‘omg.’
The one who swings the knife to finish the carrot dies.
Carrot and almond’s eyes meet.
‘Oops.’
She was dazed for a moment, then quickly turned her gaze and shot another Roman soldier.
pop!
Another Roman soldier falls.
“Almond! Even a super save!?!”
“T, this… … I’ll buy you one more turn of carrots!? Is that really possible!? Can two people make a miracle!?”
“From Pierre’s perspective! Right now! Two workers dying… … isn’t a big deal!?”
“Still like that!?”
“Yes! But this! It’s hard to just sit back and watch! It’s literally still like that!”
“Just a little more time─”
But time can no longer be dragged on.
──Phew!
The carrot gets stabbed once more.
There were already too many soldiers surrounding her.
‘ha.’
Almond pulls the protest back towards the main camp.
‘Somehow.’
I had to create some space, even if it was just a little.
‘Just a little. Move just a little.’
Observe Pierre.
His position has changed a little bit.
Paaang!
Almond’s arrow flies again.
“Ah, this is another worker!?”
“barley!!”
Phew!
The worker was right.
“Huh!? Barley?!”
“Yes! This is barley, barley, rice! This is it, now?! Almond keeps saying barley, please react, please react!!”
“Ahhhh! Barley! That’s right! But! Pierre doesn’t move at all!!!”
Pierre flinches, but is still in the same position.
‘Just a little more.’
There is no time.
The carrot is dead.
Roman soldiers begin to chase after Almond.
Even though it is a mountainous terrain, there is a difference in the movement speed of infantry and archers, and Almond has to keep pulling the bow and aiming.
Eventually, they catch up.
Almond grits his teeth and pulls the trigger again.
‘last.’
Paaaaang!
“barley…….”
His last arrow has flown.
“Rice!? It’s rice!!”
Thud!
It was blocked by Pierre’s shield with surprising ease.
Almond was targeting the priest.
“Ahhhhh! Pierre! Perfect catch!”
──Phew!
A multitude of spears pierce the almonds.
Instead of avoiding the javelin, he chose to aim for the priest once more.
“Pierre. It’s heavy.”
“Yes. Certainly, your judgment is good. In fact, three workers… … They cannot be more important to Rome than the priests right now… …!”
“It didn’t waver. In addition, Joseon captured two archers… … and the scouts were also captured several times earlier?”
“The fact that Anton knew everything… … is huge. Ahh… … .”
“Joseon also executed its strategy well while drawing its own big picture. Antoga! More! More! Looking at the big picture, it completely overwhelms!”
It seems like it could be revenge for one game.
Rome played the game by changing maps that were disadvantageous to their advantage.
Anto played the game with an absurdly elegant management style, as if the first game was just a warm-up.
And then, about 20 minutes passed?
“Ahhhhh… …! Finally!”
“Rat!”
The display on the scoreboard changes.
==== ====
Joseon: 1
Rome: 1
==== ====
“Waaa …
The roar of the Roman crowd erupts.
Cheeeeeeek.
Players from both sides stand up and leave the field.
They glanced at each other for a moment before heading back to their waiting room.
-The operation is really crazy.
-thief
-Anto, it’s so brutal
-Oh, that was a shame ㅠㅠ
-Ha… … It was too much to read all the strategies
The North Korean audience was cheering them on, saying it was okay, but there were quite a few people who were grumbling.
It was mostly about Rome’s performance.
Even though Joseon clearly won one game, the anxiety did not go away.
Rome’s current appearance was the epitome of a strong team.
Even if they are down one or even two games, the strong teams play as if it is their first game.
It hits hard.
The opponents also become afraid of them as if this is their first match.
That was the atmosphere in Joseon at the time.
The crowd was afraid of Rome.
-You’re really good at it
-If we lose this again, it’s really over
-Ah, winning ㅠㅠㅠ Is it impossible ㅠㅠ
-Oh, I’m shaking;
-Is it true that one set is a miracle…?
“Ah, following the first game, the second game was also a really unexpected and fierce game. Kinggyul. What do you think was the reason for this defeat?”
“I think the biggest failure was the attempt to assassinate a priest.”
“Ah. I see.”
“Yes. The operation to assassinate the priest didn’t require that much resources, but the scouts were eaten beforehand, and the risk of another explosion was high. On the other hand, if it had succeeded, the game would have ended there. Rome would have been really terrified!”
“Oh, that’s right. If that arrow had gone in! If it had gone in properly! It would have been an arrow that would really change the world line!”
The moment he said that, the broadcast camera showed Almond leaving the stage.
His expression was darker than in the first set.
It may be obvious, but viewers were uneasy because he was even shown rubbing one of his arms.
-Is Almond okay?
-Ah ㅠㅠ
-That was a valid shot, but the goalkeeper was too good. Let’s cheer up.
-Because Almond was the only one who could shoot that…
-It’s okay. Starting from the 3rd game, Almond’s condition is slowly declining.
It wasn’t well known at the beginning of the competition, but it’s already the finals.
Most people who knew already knew.
That his condition is at its best for up to three games.
“Anyway, after the failed assassination of Joseon, there was no chance of recovery, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. It wasn’t a fatal loss. But! Anto really reached the 3rd era first with his ghostly management skills, and he held on well in the 3rd era of Joseon, and eventually crushed them in the 4th era with ridiculous resources.”
“Yes. If Anto shows solid operation! 1 on 1! The finals will be even more intense!”
Afterwards, the commentators took the time to reinterpret the highlight scenes.
This concludes the broadcast of the second match.
“Okay, then we’ll send you the remaining highlight scenes and see you again in Game 3!”
* * *
thud!
Inside the waiting room, in the conference room.
Someone bangs their head on the think tank team table.
“Ugh… … .”
It’s a win-win.
He was clenching his teeth and barely holding something in.
