I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Let’s go back to the moment when the Red Archer shot Siegfried and “exploded” Siegfried. At that time, Shen Er was actually able to help Siegfried avoid the sudden arrow. Others didn’t know the existence of the Red Archer. How could Shen Er? Maybe you don’t know? He had been waiting for this round of long-range strikes.

There were two main reasons why he did not take action and allowed Siegfried to get injured.

First, the "Evil Dragon Blood Armor" is a damage-reducing immortal body. Even if it is broken through, the damage will be reduced. The arrow was not aimed at the vital point, and it was impossible to kill Siegfried.

Second, and most importantly, Shinji has a chance to sneak attack on the Red Rider. The best time is when Rider is charging up and preparing to defeat Siegfried in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Shenji did not move, whether it was Siegfried and the Red Rider testing each other, Siegfried falling to the ground after being hit by an arrow, or Fiore's inquiry. He just concentrated on waiting for the opportunity, and asked for reinforcements. The method was to prevent Gold from causing trouble to himself - if during a sneak attack, Fatty would issue a command spell to order Siegfried to use his Noble Phantasm, it would be great fun. An enemy may be safe and sound, but he himself will die under the sword of a friendly force.

Knowing that Fiore had already taken down Gold, Shinji no longer had any worries. Just when Rider was about to unleash a full blow, he used his signature "Noble Phantasm Burst".

Indra's Thunder is in front, and I am holding the Ishtar War Spear in the back, one above my head and one behind my back, attacking the Red Rider from both sides.

At the critical moment, the red rider remained calm even though he was frightened. The moment the unfamiliar servant's aura and magic power fluctuations emerged, he gave up the target in front of him without hesitation, and threw the huge force in the opposite direction with one hand, blocking the enemy servant's attack and destroying the flanking attack; switching with one hand Weapons, with shields to withstand the raging thunder. By the time Shinji avoided throwing his spear and charged again, Rider had already taken a defensive posture.

Although Shinji used all his strength and used the maximum power of "magic release", he only forced the rider back and flew away, without causing any substantial damage.

If the lightning strike had not been faster than the rider's weapon switching speed, causing a certain amount of damage before the shield appeared, this sneak attack would have completely failed.

She didn't kill Rider, or even seriously injure him, but Shenji didn't feel it was a pity. He knew the identity of the Red Rider. He was a great hero on the same level as Siegfried and was not that easy to deal with.

Of course, there is no such thing as fear. Since a sneak attack can't kill you, then attack head-on. It's not just you who has backup, I also have backup. As long as you don't run away, I will definitely kill you today.

Therefore, facing Rider's menacing provocation, Shinji responded with the same fierce attitude.

The red rider looked at the wound on his shoulder and trembled all over. Not out of shame, but out of joy.

"That's great, that's great. There are people over there who can hurt me."

The unrestrained Rider vents his inner emotions with laughter. Just as he said just now, he is the kind of hero who laughs wantonly on the battlefield.

Another hero with a similar physique but opposite personality also recovered from the sneak attack. He casually pulled out the arrows on his body, silently raised his sword, and prepared to continue the battle.

"Two versus two? That's not bad. Come on, black saber, black assassin."

"Two versus two is good, but not in this form." Shenji moved a few steps sideways to block Siegfried, "Saber, leave the rider to me, and you go deal with the archer."

Siegfried asked Shinji with his eyes.

Shenji glanced at the "eye" in the sky: "If I'm not wrong, his immortal body requires the power of a god to break. You were on the defensive just now, so you instinctively felt his restraint on you."

He said it was a guess, but in fact he was convinced, because he knew the real name of the Red Rider, and he just didn't want to arouse suspicion.

Saber nodded in agreement.

Seeing this scene and hearing Shenji's analysis relayed by Fiore, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Gold's forehead.

I almost wasted the Command Seal, but luckily I had Fiore.

"Uncle, I think you should trust Saber more." Fiore loosened her clenched hands with a relieved smile on her face, "Just like I trust Assassin."

Gold didn't speak. He took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat while recalling what he had done. Inexplicably, he thought of what Assassin once said.

"It is true that a servant is dependent on the master and exists, but the servant is not a puppet. He has strong power and his own will."

"To exert the greatest power, master and slave must reach a consensus. Otherwise, even the best professional saber, the strongest hero, will not end well."

Am I really wrong?

Siegfried didn't know the Master's thoughts. Finding that he had nothing to do with Rider, he chose to trust his companions and find another enemy.

After whispering "Be careful" to Shen Er, Siegfried rushed out in the direction of the arrow - he wanted to find the archer who was hiding somewhere.

"Don't even think about it -" How could the Red Rider let Saber go? He raised his shield and hit her directly.

Shinji inserted the war gun in his hand into the ground, and the power released by the war gun shook the earth, tore the surface, and blocked the Red Rider's footsteps.

"Your opponent is me!"

"A mere assassin?" The Red Rider glared at Shenji with a fierce expression, not hiding his murderous intent.

"Assassin is enough, haven't you heard of killing and defeating the rider?" Shenji looked at the red rider without giving in.

"It's just one or two divine treasures, don't be so arrogant!" Rider, who was aroused, threw his gun and roared, launching an offensive.

It was a completely different style from the spearmen I had encountered so far. It didn't have Diarmuid's strangeness, Karna's dizzying look, and it didn't have Scathach's profound mysteries.

The Red Rider's spearmanship is as simple and simple as his gun. There are no tricks or any cover-ups. All movements are just to kill the enemy - this is the spearmanship that is truly honed for the battlefield.

This kind of marksmanship may not look good, but it is practical enough.

Of course, there are also shortcomings. Spearmanship that is only for killing people is destined to be unable to be both offensive and defensive like other spearmanship. As the price of pursuing lethality, its defense is relatively weak.

However, this weakness is not a problem for the Red Rider. He has a shield and a strong body that is stronger than most heroic spirits - not only immortality, but also the most basic physical qualities such as strength and durability. In addition, he also possesses unparalleled movement speed. Even in the battle with Arturia, Scathach, who had been strengthened with the original runes, was still weaker.

With the guarantee of speed and defense, Red Rider doesn't have to worry about defense at all. He just needs to attack, attack, and keep attacking.

This unrestrained style of play brought even greater pressure than when facing Karna. In just a few rounds, the simple throwing spear had already grazed Shen Er's vitals three times, each time closer and harder, and the latest one almost cut Shen Er's throat.

While he kept attacking, the red rider kept taunting.

"Hey, didn't you say you wanted to be my opponent? You are completely unqualified."

"What about your momentum just now? Or are you just talking and unable to do it at all?"

"Really, this is the only thing that stirs up my passion. As expected, assassins should hide in the dark and fight head-on battles - I'm really bored."

"Forget it, let's end it quickly. Although an assassin suffers a bit, it is not without results."

With that said, the red rider put away his shield, held the throwing spear with both hands, and turned into a meteor and rushed towards Shinji.
