Season 3: Chapter 316. The Bigger Picture (3)
Joseon’s soldiers scattered in all directions to engage in reconnaissance and hunting. As a result, they had no clear grasp of the situation. Communication between them was virtually nonexistent with each soldier isolated. Even Carrot, positioned next to Almond, couldn’t fully comprehend the current circumstances.
‘What exactly is going on...?’
Carrot and Almond were far from the Roman base, roaming in areas disconnected from the unfolding events. Indifferent to tactical details, Carrot remained oblivious that Joseon’s scouts had repeatedly fallen into Roman ambushes. To her, everything seemed to be proceeding according to plan.
[Joseon - 2nd Era]
The notification echoed out.
‘The second era feels a bit delayed.’
Their progression into the second era seemed slower than expected. However, this could easily be attributed to variables such as terrain, resource distribution, or other random elements inherent in Civil Empire. The placement of structures and pathing efficiency, determined by the commander, heavily influenced the pace of development.
Although Cookie was skilled, he wasn’t the fastest in optimizing such elements. Thus, everything appeared to be going smoothly until another command came.
[Infiltrate]
When Almond and Carrot received the infiltration command, Carrot immediately sensed that something was wrong.
‘Infiltrate?’
This wasn’t a simple movement command. It was an infiltration order. Such an order meant entering enemy territory undetected and left most of the execution to the player rather than the commander. The inherent variability in infiltrating enemy territory required the soldier to adapt and make decisions in real time.
