I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

In order to deal with the biggest instability factor, Shenji specially formulated a plan.

This plan required Astolfo's strength, so he specially left the goddess's token behind, specifically to prevent this messy knight from rushing too fast, lest he be attacked by some powerful force. Followers keep an eye on them.

Shenji remembered clearly that in the original work, Astolfo was beaten into a dog for being too promiscuous on the battlefield. First, relying on the mobility of the Hippogriff, he went to steal the red team's lair at the beginning. He also thought that he had the "Magic Universal Strategy Book (tentative name)" and was not afraid of magic, so he got in the face of Semiramis, the top servant.

What's even more wasteful is that because Hippogriff's true name liberation consumes huge mana, he is unwilling to hurt Sieg's companions, resulting in the most cheating trump card being unable to be used.

As a result, Semiramis first broke through the strategy book's defense with a magic combo, injuring the Hippogriff, causing Astolfo to fall from the sky. After landing, they met another speeding car. Mordred, who was angry because he arrived at the battlefield late, was finally pushed to the ground and beaten violently. If it weren't for Sieg and Frankenstein who were pushed by Shenji, they would have sacrificed their lives to save him. , this guy is wasted. Of course, these are nothing compared to Sieg's cheating later, so not many people care about Astolfo's tricks.

But this time Siegfried's double hook, one was pushed up by Shen Er, and the other was still beating on Siegfried's chest, so he didn't care. If he doesn't want him to die too quickly, Shenji must put the reins on this wild horse where rationality has evaporated.

And this rein is to regulate every step he takes, so that he has no time to wander.

There are also such considerations in throwing out four threes at the beginning, and killing Atalanta's four twos. Later, under the command of Chiron, he returned to the city for treatment. After returning from injury, he ordered him to follow Spartacus - nominally to prevent Spartacus from going crazy and going crazy, but actually to monitor Spartacus. Bardax's every move.

Once Spartacus begins to transform into a monster, the plan shifts to phase two.

At this stage, we cannot rely solely on Astolfo's observations. After all, this guy himself is also quite unstable.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Shinji must arrive at the scene in person, and this is the most important reason why he does not enter the duel field created by Achilles - even if the Noble Phantasm is almost completely destroyed, he still has a trump card. As long as the time is right, this trump card can make the hero second only to Hercules in Greek history suffer to death.

However, in the absence of venue restrictions, the lethality of this trump card will be reduced, and his identity may be exposed. Therefore, even if Shinji is overwhelmed by Achilles's fierce attack and is in danger, he still grits his teeth and waits. Astolfo brought Chiron with him so that he could escape smoothly and at the same time pin Achilles, who was not much less unstable than Astolfo.

You know, the two biggest unsettling factors in this Holy Grail War are the two guys with the job title of Rider. It is because of these two guys that the reputation of the Rider job agency has been ruined, and it has become a hot spot for "second- and fifth-year-olds", second only to "Lancers have been lucky since ancient times, and Lancers have been hard-working since ancient times."

Of course, the "two and five boys" here do not mean that the two of them had no good intentions from the beginning. The main reason is that these heroes are too arbitrary and care more about their own wishes than the red and black camps. If they understand their characters, they will It's easy to predict what to do, and it's not difficult to restrain them.

For example, using the reason of saving more androids, Astolfo no longer has to worry about the consumption of magic power.

For example, let Chiron deal with Achilles.

Shinji needs Astolfo for the flexibility and mobility that his job as a rider brings, and Achilles also has this, and is more powerful than Astolfo.

In other words, Achilles has the ability to destroy Shinji's plan, and because he has the fastest scud in mankind, no one can stop him if he wants to go. Give Shenji a quick strike at the critical moment, and everything will be over - this guy has the "brave flower will never wither", and is not afraid of a pure blow without divinity, but Shenji can't withstand it.

Fortunately, the people who could pin this guy down were not only Shinji himself, who was inexplicably identified as another Hector, but also Chiron, the teacher who had the greatest influence on his life.

With Chiron here, Achilles can't go anywhere because—

"This is your shortcoming."

When Shinji heard Astolfo's cry, he wanted to take off even if his arm was broken.

When Achilles no longer adheres to Pankrasin's rules of the game, he throws a spear to intercept Shinji and prepares to use one against many.

When a sharp arrow falling from the sky deflected the spear, a man wearing leather armor fell from the sky.

When Achilles saw the man's appearance clearly, he saw the familiar calm expression and the smile of reunion after a long absence.

Achilles was stunned.

At this moment, Achilles forgot about Shinji, who was considered a good rival and must be defeated.

At this moment, Achilles forgot that he was on a battlefield.

At this moment, Achilles only had eyes for this man.

——I have seen this man before.

——No, I once talked to him, received his teachings, and even slept and ate with him...

"You-you are..."

To Achilles like this, Chiron said the words he had prepared a few days ago in a steady voice, and incidentally gave the disciple a kick in the face who had fallen into a state of confusion and lost his standard.

Achilles' body flew into the air due to the strong blow.

Chiron then drew his bow, nocked the arrow, and fired with a natural movement like flowing water.

"...!!"

The moment he understood that the targeted position was his "vital point", all the nerves in Achilles' body became tense. He twisted his body to the limit of his joints, trying to miss the arrow's trajectory.

——Staggered.

The arrow missed his vital point, but pierced his side. Although intense pain shot through Achilles's body, he didn't take it to heart at all. Compared with this, the man standing in front of him is a big problem.

All the mysteries about the Black Archer have been solved. It is natural that he has more terrifying bow and arrow skills than the Red Archer. After all, he is the teacher of many heroes, including himself.

Achilles pulled out the arrow stuck in his side and threw it away, then stood up.

Chiron still held the bow and stood motionless as if waiting for Rider to speak.

"——Why, you would..."

"Silly question. In this Holy Grail War, I appeared in the world as the Black Archer, and you appeared as the Red Rider. Both of us have our own wishes and nostalgia. That's why we are here. , whether it’s me or you.”

"..."

Achilles lowered his head and fell into silence.

Chiron sighed and naturally assumed the posture of a teacher educating students:

"Really, there is a limit to innocence. This is the only thing you haven't corrected during your lifetime. You are extremely cruel to those you consider your enemies, but there is no limit to how lax you can be towards your companions or those you think you can trust. . This may be a trait worthy of people's admiration as a hero, but this is the Holy Grail War, and there is no room for mercy, even for you, who is called a hero - do you understand? Achilles."

Black Archer called Red Rider by his real name.

The young man who was called Achilles nodded with the seriousness of a student receiving instruction from his teacher.

The pair of master and disciple, who had been separated due to Shen Er's intrusion, finally returned to the starting point.

PS: Let’s take a closer look at the 25 riders in the rider class. Let’s not talk about the two culprits, Afu and Heel. “Fate Strange Fake” has just started and no one has left the show yet, so it’s hard to tell for the time being. "Fate Stay Night" and "Fate Zero" came out relatively early and survived. Aunt Sakurai's Ao Yin finally managed to keep her reputation because she was the pinnacle of the Egyptian system and the third golden target. Finally, "Fate Grand Order" is the largest work. There are quite a few riders in it. The list is as follows. Those who do not want to be spoiled for the subsequent content can turn it off.

Chapter 1, Martha betrays Heizhen. Chapter 7, Quetzalcoatl’s elder sister, half of her, changed from an enemy to an ally. Part 1.5, Chapter 2, Columbus betrays the protagonist (although it was a conspiracy to cause trouble from the beginning). The latest event, 2017 Swimsuit, Ishtar (also plotting to cause trouble from the beginning), Quetzalcoatl Sister (betrayed Maeve, and made an agreement with Yan Qing for a wrestling duel next time out of interest).

That’s why it’s the hardest-hit area.

PS2: The cooking power of my Chinese heroic spirit is unleashed. Master Li competed with Shijiang, and Quetzalcoatl and Yan Qing wrestled. Although they were not powerful, their close combat skills alone were already incredible.
