Season 2: Chapter 121. Distraction Influence (3)

The ten workers were defenseless against Almond.

"How did this happen!?"

OrangeKing couldn't comprehend it. He understood the confusion caused by the curve shot, but this seemed unusual since the enemy commander would know where the arrow came from.

Kimchi Warrior explained, "BornToB has almost complete visibility in his own territory, meaning he can continuously provide accurate pings for Almond. AK47 doesn’t have such visibility!"

"Oh! Because buildings provide commanders with visibility! Almond gets information from BornToB! AK47 can’t see as well, so even the enemy commander can’t properly find Almond’s location?!"

"Exactly."

The explanation concluded.

"The massacre begins now!"

Almond started rapid firing.

Thwack!

Workers dropped like dominoes.

"Almond is smiling! He's laughing! It's madness!"

— LOL

— He's grinning from ear to ear

— Why is he so excited? LOL

Almond kept firing with fierce determination.

"Almond fires away! It’s a crazy arrow party! He’s continuously firing! Workers are dying all at once and AK47 still can’t find him! You need to look quickly!"

Around seven to eight seconds later, AK47 belatedly issued an order to retreat. However...

"What is this!? All the workers...! They’re all dead!"

An arrow struck the back of a fleeing worker's head. The rest had already died.

"Ten workers have died! This is huge!"

Kimchi Warrior nodded and explained, "One worker is worth almost forty gold right now. Almond conducted a solid counterattack!"

"The spearmen who went in a weird direction earlier are desperately returning to Almond! They've realized now!"

As OrangeKing said, five spearmen frantically rushed back. DiiScover new stories at novelhall.com

"They’re pointing at Almond and cursing furiously!"

Almond didn't flee despite being pursued by five enemies. Instead, he stood in front of them and drew his bow.

"Almond? Are you taking them head-on?"

They were rushing at Almond, but suddenly turned in a different direction. Almond also ran in the direction they fled in.

[Wooden Defense Tower]

Almond chased them as they ran to the defense tower. Five men were fleeing from one.

"It’s a one vs. five situation and the one is chasing the five?!"

— What's happening?

— LOL

— They rushed in as if to kill and then what?

— ??

The situation looked comical with one person oddly chasing five.

Almond's bowstring rang out.

Twang!

An arrow flew and successfully pierced a soldier’s head.

Thump.

"One spearman out! Only four left! They’ve split into two groups and entered the defense tower! Almond suddenly has nothing to do! What’s going on!?"

The five spearmen fled even though they could easily take down a regular archer. What kind of decision was that?

Kimchi Warrior knew why.

'Because Almond isn’t just a regular archer.'

The enemy commander knew Almond already, but couldn't outright say he was stream sniping. He had to slightly rephrase his words to his soldiers.

"Apparently, commanders in Civil Empire always observe the combat power of enemy mercenaries to respond accordingly. It seems that Almond is a highly valued target."

"Oh, is that so?"

Kimchi Warrior nodded and continued explaining, "Yes. Anyone can see that Almond isn’t just any archer. That's why AK47 chose the safer path. They just want to restrict resources here and upgrade their own camp to move into the mid game."

OrangeKing found the explanation satisfactory.

"Really! That makes sense!"

— LOL

— Anyone can see he’s not just any normal archer LOL

— It just seems like stream sniping though... hmm...

Some viewers grew suspicious of stream sniping. However, the game moved quickly and the topic soon shifted.

"Anyway, AK47 is starting to upgrade the internal management of his base! He's starting to move into the second era and aiming for a longer game."

"Yes. He's just tying up the opponent's resources while beefing up his own and aiming for a mid game confrontation. Since AK47 lost ten workers, it might not go as smoothly as he planned."

"Oh, right! But BornToB is still mining gold at the 1 o'clock mine. Isn't this a close match?"

"What are they planning to do!? Seriously!"

— ???

— What's happening?

— Did they lose their minds? LOL

— A blind rush?

— A declaration of surrender???

The viewers couldn't think of any other explanation for BornToB and Almond's actions except that they had simultaneously lost their minds.

Just then, Almond stepped into the range of the towers.

"Almond is really entering the towers’ range! What is he doing?"

The towers, as if waiting for this moment, started shooting arrows.

Phew! Phew!

[Tower]

[2/5]

Two spearmen were inside the tower, so the attack speed was quite fast.

Of course, Almond naturally dodged the arrows.

"He dodged the arrows! But what next?"

He couldn't be doing this just to show off his arrow dodging skills. An archer couldn’t destroy a tower. What exactly was he trying to do?

Almond shockingly aimed his bow at the tower. He stood upright, drew his bow, and looked like he had already claimed victory.

Kimchi Warrior speculated, "Is he trying to hit someone inside?"

"What!? But that tower is like the height of a five story building!?"

The tower stood as tall as a five story apartment building.

For an archer, height made a crucial difference. Hitting something high up was more challenging than hitting something far away.

"Plus, he'd have to squeeze an arrow through the hole from where the enemy shoots..."

It was a steep uphill challenge. The opening, from Almond's perspective, looked like the eye of a needle.

"Is it possible!?"

"I, I'm not sure!"

OrangeKing and Kimchi Warrior doubted the success rate.

Almond fired his arrow.

Whizz!

The arrow soared high and cut through the wind.

Then...

Thump!

It pierced deep into the enemy’s collarbone.

"It, it hit?!"

The arrow shattered through cartilage and burrowed into the enemy’s heart.

Creak!

"It's...!"

Kimchi Warrior's eyes widened. Almond had used a screw nail arrow known for its penetrative power.

[Tower]

[1/5]

One soldier inside the tower suddenly died.

OrangeKing abruptly stood up.

"He got him! From such a distance! Almond took down a soldier inside the tower with one shot!!"

— Wow, WTF

— That was...?

— Wow

— One shot??

— Insane

OrangeKing shrugged his shoulders.

"As expected of Almond!"

Out of nowhere, OrangeKing put on a propeller hat he recently purchased in This World.

Whirrr!

He twirled the propeller and shouted in celebration, "Hey! BornToB! Almond! There’s no problem with heights! Raynamu Helicopter!!!"

— LOL, what the hell

— Ahahaha

— Raynamu Helicopter LOL

— When did he prepare that? That’s insane LOL
