The Villain is Too Good at Broadcasting

News about <Fantasy War: East> quickly spread across the world.

Especially in Northeast Asia, stories about the <Three Kingdoms> event were everywhere.

Korea, China, Japan.

An event among three countries that are rivals both historically and emotionally.

As a result, the attention of not only Northeast Asia but also the entire world was focused on this event.

A new release from CA, the company famous for the <Fantasy War> series.

Many people had been eagerly waiting for this anticipated release of the second half of 2030, making the game itself a huge topic of interest.

The Korea-China-Japan event was just fuel to the fire.

In such intense interest, the Chicken Box streamers, including myself, diligently familiarized ourselves with Fantasy War.

A week passed, and the long-awaited day finally arrived.

As always, I entered the capsule with a light heart and started broadcasting.

Until now, I had been playing Fantasy War without broadcasting, but from today, streaming was allowed.

The official open beta of Fantasy War was scheduled for tomorrow at 2 PM Korean time.

Thanks to the game’s company, which allowed streamers to deliver brief information through an event match before that.

Today’s broadcast title was ‘God of War.’

It was quite a pretentious title, but there was no better title to describe what I was going to show today.

As soon as I started the broadcast, viewers entered my stream.

– Sha-ha.

– Oppa, did you sleep well?

– Show us Fantasy War quickly. We’re getting dizzy!

– Haha, I quit my job to watch the Three Kingdoms today. Did I make a good decision?

– I took a leave of absence just for today, lol.

– I heard the action in this series is amazing.

– Haha, I want to see Lu Bu already.

I had already notified the viewers about the content of today’s broadcast in advance.

Thanks to that, my broadcast started with 10,000 viewers waiting.

Starting with 10,000 viewers.

If things went well, I might break the highest viewer record today.

I glanced at the chat window and waved my hand cheerfully.

“How have you all been?”

In response to my simple greeting, the viewers reacted with annoyance.

– ??

– Boss, stop messing around and start swearing. Who watches your broadcast to hear you greet us?

– Haha, swearing is better than greetings.

– Right, for us villains, swearing is a greeting.

There were still a lot of crazy people.

Since I had been playing League of Storm until yesterday, there were quite a few viewers looking for it.

But today, due to the pre-scheduled event, there was no choice.

While I was communicating with the viewers for a while, one of the familiar viewers made a donation.

‘Patriotic Mission Man’ donated 10,000 won!

[I’ve broken my savings account just to donate today, lol. Can I look forward to it?]

“Hey, brother, how can you break your savings for this? Since you’ve broken it, how about starting a new savings account? I’ll open one for you in my name.”

Patriotic Mission Man.

A big spender in my stream who consistently made large donations whenever there was an incident with other countries.

Although breaking his savings was probably just a concept, I could look forward to substantial donations during this content.

After expressing my gratitude repeatedly, I checked the time.

It was 6:55 PM.

In five minutes, the event server would open.

[Launching <Fantasy War: East>!]

There was no separate relay channel for this event match.

Thus, viewers could enter the stream of any of the five Chicken Box streamers participating in the event from the Korean side according to their preference.

Our party also divided our main focus areas accordingly.

Viewers could choose to watch the broadcast from the perspective they preferred.

[When the world falls into chaos, heroes always emerge.]

The now familiar intro video played.

I wanted to skip it, but many viewers were waiting for this video.

So, I had no choice but to play the intro video.

The total length of the intro video was one minute.

It ended tantalizingly with large-scale battles and splendid duels of generals.

Although I had seen the video several times, the visual quality was quite excellent.

– Wow.

– As expected from Fantasy War.

– According to rumors, this series is almost like the Lu Bu series.

– Yes, I heard player control is more important than ever.

While the viewers discussed the intro video, I entered the game lobby.

As soon as I entered the lobby, an invitation message popped up in front of me.

[Player ‘Empress’ has invited you to the <Event: Gale Battle> mode.]

It was an invitation from Empress, who had logged in earlier.

I accepted her invitation and said to the viewers.

“Those interested in the internal affairs mode should watch Empress’s stream. Just so you know, I’m just in the smashing position.”

The viewers responded as if asking what I was talking about.

– That’s why we’re watching your stream.

– Strategy enthusiasts have already gone to Empress’s stream.

– Stop talking nonsense and just show us the enemy massacre, lol. We’ll handle the broadcast ourselves.

– Musou! Musou! Musou!

Of course.

While communicating with the viewers for a while, I entered the main game’s lobby.

In <Fantasy War: East>’s <Gale Battle> mode, the first thing players had to do was set their character.

The main stats were intelligence, strength, and leadership.

Players were given 10 initial stat points and could create their characters according to their characteristics.

The viewers were already familiar with this system.

This was how previous Fantasy War series games had been.

I looked at the character creation screen and said without hesitation.

“Strength 1. Intelligence 9.”

Then the chat window became noisy.

– ???

– You said you were doing Lu Bu, lol.

– Are you going to be a mage?

– Haha, is Hong Gil-dong the concept this time? Since it’s the East, are you using sorcery? lol.

– Showing you’re a Fantasy War newbie. Didn’t you practice for a week? Didn’t Empress give you any tips?

The viewers’ reactions were intense.

Understandably, even for a combat-focused player, one had to distribute some points to leadership.

Anyone who had played Fantasy War would think so.

But this series was different.

I looked at the chat window and smirked.

“Shut up and just watch.”

[Character setup completed.]

[Starting the game.]

The reason I set strength to 1 despite focusing on combat.

It would soon become clear.

The essence of the event match was gradually revealing itself.

### 4.

After finishing the character setup and starting the game in earnest, our party moved to a secluded mountain village.

A place that could essentially be considered a starting point.

The other teams from China and Japan also started in similar situations to ours.

I lightly stretched and looked around.

A village with a small population and outdated facilities.

The early stages of Fantasy War were dominated by poor management. This series was no different.

But our Korean team had a unique strategy.

“Let’s each select a scout and first identify the positions of the Chinese and Japanese teams. Oh, and everyone, strip down quickly.”

– Strip down?

– Oh my!

– Oh my, oh my!

– Holy shit, are we changing the genre of this game?

– Why are we suddenly stripping?

The viewers were momentarily excited by Empress’s words, which could easily be misunderstood, but they soon understood the meaning behind them.

Following Empress’s words, the team members, except for me, stripped off their given items and handed them over to me.

When setting up characters, players could choose one basic item to be given.

The basic strategy our Korean team had practiced for a week.

That was:

[Equipping the item ‘Helmet of Valor.’]

[Equipping the item ‘Armor of Trust.’]

[Equipping the item ‘Greaves of Fortitude’…]

The strategy was to concentrate the initial basic items.

The target for this was, of course, me.

As I equipped all the items given by my teammates, I nodded lightly.

“For now, let’s wait a bit until the scouts bring back information. In the meantime, let’s all capture the surrounding resource areas.”

Our team’s initial strategy had been thoroughly proven over the past week.

During the one-week period CA had allowed us to experience the game in advance, our team had achieved unification three times.

Although it was slightly difficult at first, after a few trials and errors, we were able to optimize our initial strategy.

Since a total of 12 neutral AI forces appeared in Fantasy War, the early stages weren’t much different from AI battles.

Thus, our party started leisurely, capturing the resource areas around our village.

Empress and Dong-su focused on intelligence and leadership.

Because of that, the two of them began managing the village, while Sae-rin, Yoo-seon, and I slowly captured the surrounding granaries and resource areas.

How much time had passed?

While we were leisurely proceeding with our conquest, I heard Dong-su’s voice through the voice chat.

“Hey, Chan-sik.”

“Yes, Dong-su hyung.”

“The scouts brought back some information. They spotted the Chinese to the west. Looks like their starting point was quite close. They’re conducting a siege at the western iron mine.”

“How long would it take to get there?”

“…Hmm, it would take about 20 minutes on horseback.”

“I’ll head out right away.”

Our team’s initial strategy was very simple.

A safe and stable operation.

Given that we had the solid management card, Empress, it was a natural choice.

However, there was one more crucial part.

I grinned and mounted the horse next to me.

Yoo-seon and Sae-rin looked at me and spoke.

“It’s kind of annoying that you’re going to have all the fun alone.”

“Hey, then I’ll keep your stream as an addon next to mine?”

“Watch closely. I’ll show you an interesting scene.”

The early stage of capturing resource areas didn’t necessarily require my help.

Moreover, Yoo-seon and Sae-rin had also somewhat mastered the game over the past week.

Even without me, they could manage the early stage operations.

After exchanging brief farewells with my team, I raced towards the location Dong-su had marked on the map.

– What are you going to do now?

– Are you going to charge at the Chinese guys?

– What is this?

– The game genre has changed to <Equestrian> haha.

– Wow, but the action in this series is amazing. Even riding a horse looks cool.

The viewers grumbled at the sight of me suddenly mounting a horse after the battle stopped.

“Oh, you pots.”

– ???

– This guy is a hook collector…

– Bro! Why are the curses so weak today? Give us some stronger swearing!

– Pots… what…! This guy…! He will be punished!

Since there wasn’t much to do, I had to fill the audio with something.

Honestly, if I were just watching scenes of riding a horse continuously, I’d leave the stream too.

The one thing that was fortunate was that thanks to the shocking jokes of the Evil Gang, the chat window remained lively.

Whether I played a great game or a terrible one, those guys would always be like that, which was somewhat reassuring.

…Hmm, I shouldn’t get used to it, though.

Anyway, after riding for 20 minutes, I arrived at the location where the Chinese were conducting a siege.

Waaaah!

In the distance, a massive number of peasant soldiers were charging toward the iron mine.

Peasant soldiers.

A low-tier unit that could be conscripted at a very low cost in the early game and still be quite useful in the late game.

Their weapons were plows and sickles.

Even though the cost of the units was cheap, conscripting so many would still be burdensome.

I nodded as I watched the scene.

“A horde, a horde. Truly Chinese.”

– Are you here for reconnaissance?

– Wow, that’s a lot.

– Is this… the human wave tactic of the Chinese army?

– The Chinese are playing so… Chinese.

– But why are you watching? Did you come just to watch the Chinese?

The viewers seemed to share my feelings.

While I had expected the Chinese to operate like that, seeing it with my own eyes was refreshing.

If they conscripted so many units early on, they wouldn’t be able to handle the maintenance costs.

However, since those guys also had a week of practice, they would have some countermeasures.

After watching the Chinese siege the iron mine for a while, I started moving forward again on my horse.

My target was the iron mine under siege.

The viewers exclaimed in shock.

– What are you doing now?

– New suicide method?

– Hahaha, no way.

– Is he doing this alone? Are you crazy, human?

My objective had been consistent from the start.

In such large-scale strategy games, one thing was as important as the growth of our team.

That was to hinder the growth of the opposing teams.

That was the role I took on in this event match.

I grinned and drew my sword from my waist.

Then, looking at the Chinese general commanding the peasant soldiers ahead, I licked my lips with my tongue.

“Watch closely. This is how you play this game.”

Hell had already begun.
