Genius Archer's Streaming

Her expression hardened.
"They think they’re superior in numbers. Stupid idiots," she muttered.
The soldiers felt betrayed for a simple reason. They thought Betty deceived them and lied about the strength of their force because she wanted to sacrifice them.
This was a misconception on their part. They mistook Almond for multiple archers and believed they had been surrounded as Almond shot at them. In their eyes, there seemed to be another troop like the special forces in the trees and another on the ground rushing toward them.
The terror induced by Almond's rapid firing, curved shots, and precision created such an illusion.
"Damn it... Why is he still alive?"
Betty had been aware of Almond as a threat, which was why she tried to eliminate him first.
Only toward the end of the battle did she realize another person dressed as Almond died in his place.
"How much trust did they have in each other?"
She smiled wryly. The one who died in his place. What did Almond do to gain his trust like that?
After all, she also tried to kill Almond first. Maybe it was easier for his soldiers to trust him. It was a kind of trust that was hard for her to understand.
"That's the end here."
Betty's archer unit completely lost. Not just physically, but the enemy also shattered their spirits.
The enemy's morale remained high and the black-haired archer who narrowly escaped death led the enemy troops with ghost-like skills.
The hiding place of Betty’s archers bectheir grave.
