At the stin the Embul community, users asked in confusion.
All the seasoned players gathered in the community and began to claim that Almond’s current opponent was a stream sniper. Users would normally argue about whether the stream sniper accusations were true or not, but these were all skilled players.
They all agreed. It seemed almost certain that the opponent was a stream sniper. The discussion continued on about which was better, stream sniping or a cheesy strategy.
And so on. While opinions clashed, they kept uploading posts. As with most community topics, they had no intentions of bridging the gap and agreeing.
However, they unanimously agreed on one thing.
They all agreed that Almond and BornToB would lose this game. The reasoning went like this.
Almond continued to blankly stare at the wall while everyone on Embul anticipated his defeat.
***
"Hmmm..."
Almond blankly looked up at the wall. This wasn’t the swall he initially looked at. It was another wall he cacross after circling around the first wall.
“It's blocked here too,” Almond reported to the commander.
However, it was useless.
“Ah... Ah... What should we do??” the commander panicked and lost his mind after his only strategy failed.
Almond was still in his right mind, but couldn’t advise BornToB because he had never commanded the battlefield before.
Then─
"Huh, what's this? Our commander has lost his mind?!"
A complaint cfrom behind among the nearly twenty archers gathered behind Almond.
Someone else chimed in, "If walls are blocking us, you should just accept it and go to the third era?”
“Why does he keep recruiting only archers?"
"It’s a total disaster. The commander seems stupid."
The archers chattered about this and that after the first complaint.
"We're all doomed if the enemy progresses to the third era and brings out knights!"
"Knights are the least of our worries. What if they bring catapults?"
"Knights are the least? Are they peasants or something? You’re dumb!"
"What!? Are you callinga dumb bitch!?"
"What? No, that's not what I meant... It's a translation error!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Soldiers began arguing among themselves.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNaturally, the army’s morale hit rock bottom.
What the soldiers said earlier. Was that the right strategy? Should they quickly move to the third era as suggested?
They did find themselves in an advantageous position because the enemy spent all their resources on building walls.
The strategy sounded quite plausible even to Almond. He conveyed those exact words to the commander.
“These walls must have cost a lot. How about moving to the third era?”
“Huh!? Eh, isn't it already too late? We went all-in... and don't have many workers…” BornToB hesitated as expected.
Anyone would if they had to suddenly change from the strategy they practiced, especially if the one suggesting the change had a similar level of command skills to Almond.
“The other soldiers here are saying we have a higher chance of winning if the commander makes good decisions,” Almond emphasized that this wasn't his opinion and cfrom the rest of the group.
Maybe it was because of that? BornToB seemed willing to try something.
“Ah... that... Yes. Yes. I understand.”
The resource numbers being displayed suddenly dropped significantly. It looked like something big was being built.
Whether or not they knew Almond was relaying their words, the soldiers continued to give more unsolicited advice.
“No! We should patrol around the wall to make sure their workers can't sneak out and mine resources outside!”
“Right. Right.”
“Agreed.”
Almond relayed their advice to BornToB again.
“They said this… and that…”
“...”
BornToB decided to pass command authority on the battlefield to Almond.
“I'll give you command authority. Just please don't do anything reckless. I'll try to get to the third era as fast as possible. Of course, I know how to do that!”
It felt more worrying since BornToB said that of his own accord.
A band appeared on Almond's arm.
The sudden appointment of a leader surprised the soldiers.
“Why him? Is it because he cto the front first?”
“Is he playing as a duo? He hasn’t said anything in a while. Seemed like he was talking to the commander.”
“So everything is on us now?”
While the archers openly complained, Almond just silently stood and stared at them.
“Hmm...” Then, he muttered softly as if he had an idea, “Ah.”
It seemed like a good idea.
He suddenly declared, “I’m giving out an order.”
The soldiers chatting among themselves suddenly turned toward Almond.
Everyone thought along these lines, but something entirely different cout of his mouth.
“Go there and....”
He pointed toward the back wall.
“Lie down.”

Meanwhile, OrangeKing and Kimchi Warrior discussed BornToB’s current situation.
“What do you think about the situation BornToB is in right now?”
It seemed like they would have to change their strategy for the first time.
Kimchi Warrior didn’t respond.
“...”
He just clasped his hands and closed his eyes.
“Ah...! Everyone! Kimchi Warrior is praying right now!”
“Isn’t Kimchi Warrior atheist?”
“Yup, that's right...”
“Wow! Everyone! This is the level of skill BornToB has! The evangelist of victory! BornToB!”
“But really, what do we do now?” OrangeKing returned to the game. “It seems my invented Rainawood strategy isn’t working either…”
“Seems like BornToB has to switch to a more typical strategy. The enemy is advancing quite rapidly.”
“That's right. They produced a lot of workers since the beginning...”
“Yes, they produced a tremendous number of workers as if they knew the walls wouldn’t be breached.”
Just then, the camera shifted back to the enemy’s base. At a glance, several new buildings appeared with one particular building standing out.
“Ah! The cathedral is under construction now!”
OrangeKing grew excited after seeing the cathedral. It sounded like an important building.
“That’s when they get to the third era!”
The cathedral would upgrade the player’s civilization to the third age.
“Workers are swarming and hammering away! Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! The countdown to their execution begins! Kimchi Warrior is about to get sspace to pray!”
“On the other hand, it’ll take longer for BornToB! The difference in the number of workers they have is almost double! BornToB can't even dream of a cathedral right now!”
BornToB tried to catch up in terms of economic growth and upgrades, but the gap had already widened too much.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“They wasted stime. That’s for sure!”
“That’s right. There was a chance earlier, but...”
“Kimchi! At least BornToB is trying to catch up, right?”
OrangeKing waited for an answer from Kimchi Warrior, seemingly pleading for svalidation.
“He’s not catching up too well. Each decision he makes is so poor. It’s hard to even comment.”
“That’s… somber...”
OrangeKing lowered his head.
“Is there no hope?”
“Ah... now is the time.”
“Now?”
“Yes, right after advancing to the third age is when the enemy is most vulnerable. This is true for any age upgrade. Commanders use up all their resources for the upgrade and their number of workers is highest then. You’ll see hardly any soldiers if you look at the main base right now. None at all.”
“Ah, I see. So what should BornToB do now?”
“Actually, it would have been better if he quickly made a siege engine from the second age and brought it over instead of advancing to the third age.”
“Oh~ That’s right! As you said, he hesitated for too long!”
“It’s too late now. There’s no siege workshop and siege engines are fucking slow.”
“Wait, then it’s over!?”
“No, they have to upgrade to the third age and get better siege weapons before fighting. They need to stall for tuntil then...”
“What!? What’s that? What’s happening?”
OrangeKing suddenly spotted odd behavior from Almond.
Almond gave his soldiers an order.
“A front leaning rest position?”
The soldiers went to the wall one by one and lay down flat.
“No, Almond! Your school habits are coming out. Foreigners don’t know that!!”
Everyone thought it was just for fun at first when around six soldiers lay flat at the bottom of the wall. Then another five cand lay on top of them. Then four more, followed by three… Like a pyramid, humans began to stack up. It was, in fact, a strategy.
“What… is, is this?”
They formed a human pyramid and Almond finally climbed up using the pyramid.
“They’re using a crazy tactic! Almond, this is amazing!? He's finally going over the wall!!!”
This strategy required extraordinary creativity and determination as Almond used the human pyramid to climb over the wall alone.
“He’s finally going over this cursed wall!”
“It seems too shaky.”
“But he’s still climbing! To the very top! He’ll conquer the Alps!! What incredible willpower! Loop, you didn’t make a single soldier, did you!? Huh?”
