“…”

Seeing Fang Zheng turn around, Black Saber raised the sword in his hand with a serious expression. He had thought about intervening in the fight between the two sides just now. Although this person seemed to be a friendly party, no one knew what was going on at the moment. And...

Black Saber couldn't help but glance at Gold. He should be thankful that his master was so shocked that he didn't react to give him an order. Otherwise, if Gold gave Black Saber an order to attack Red Lancer together with the mysterious man who suddenly appeared, Black Saber wouldn't know whether to execute it.

Fang Zheng stared coldly at Black Saber. To be honest, he really wanted to kill this guy. But after hesitating for a moment, Fang Zheng turned around. The light of magic flashed across his body, and the next moment Fang Zheng disappeared into the wilderness.

"It seems that this battle is over."

As RULER spoke, he looked at the two people in front of him again.

"Then I'll take my leave too."

"Ah, wait a minute, Miss RULER!"

Hearing RULER's words, Gold suddenly woke up from his dream and hurried to the girl.

"Please go to our Thousand World Tree Castle, it will be relatively safe there..."

"No need. As a RULER, I can sense all the battles in this area. Once a battle occurs, I will naturally rush over to check it out."

After saying this, the girl turned and left. Looking at the girl's back, Gold gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. After a moment, he snorted coldly and turned to walk towards the car parked on the other side of the road.

"I never expected that I would waste a Command Seal just after the battle began."

When Red Lancer opened his eyes again, the first thing he heard was a rather leisurely voice. Along with the voice, a young man with brown skin and white hair, wearing a priest's uniform, walked over with a smile on his face. This man was the commander of the Red Team and the supervisor sent by the church - Kotomine Shiro.

He is not the master of Red Lancer, but when Red Lancer was summoned, he was the only one he saw when he opened his eyes. According to the priest, other masters would not show up for safety reasons, and he was responsible for conveying orders and executing plans - although it sounds like there is something wrong, for Red Lancer, these are not important, he just needs to complete the task.

But... the mission failed.

"I never thought you would fail."

Behind the priest, several other servants also appeared. Like Red Lancer, they were all servants summoned to the Red Camp. Frankly speaking, they all agreed that Red Lancer had the strongest power and martial arts among them, but they did not expect that even he would lose in this battle, which could only be regarded as a preliminary battle, and even had to use a Command Spell to leave.

"The other party was well prepared."

Red Lancer replied in a deep voice. He had not thought much about it during the battle before, but now thinking back, every move of the knight was almost calculated according to his reaction. His fighting was not for testing or fighting to the death, but with a clear goal of "killing himself".

Every attack since the war began has been aimed at achieving this goal, and... without hesitation.

“It was a close call.”

The smile on Kotomine Shiro's face did not change at all.

"To be honest, I was worried about whether you could escape successfully. After all, there are some Noble Phantasms that cannot be detached once they are entangled."

"I was lucky, so I escaped."

Red Lancer said calmly, and just as he said, the reason why Red Lancer was able to break free was entirely because of the treasure he possessed, a set of powerful armor that could protect Red Lancer and weaken all hostile interference against him. It was also because of that set of golden armor treasure that the opponent's restraining force was weakened a lot. Otherwise, even with the support of the Command Spell, Red Lancer would not be able to escape the restraint of the Heavenly Chain.

"I'm just trying my luck."

Kotomine Shiro smiled slightly and walked to the chair next to him and sat down.

"Since the opponent was able to take out that treasure at that time, he must be very confident that he can trap you. In this case, I can only go all out. After all, the battle has just begun, and we can't lose the most powerful Servant..."

At this point, the priest's expression became serious.

"So, can you confirm the other party's identity? Although it should be Saber from the appearance, the black camp has obviously summoned a Saber, and it is impossible to summon two Sabers at the same time. If they really used this method, then RULER could not just watch from the side. Do you have anything to say about this heroic spirit?"

"certainly."

Hearing Kotomine Shiro's question, Red LANCER nodded silently.

"First of all, I want to make it clear that the other party is not a Heroic Spirit, nor a Servant, but a human."

"……What?"

Shouts of surprise echoed in the hall. Gold stared at the black Saber in front of him in amazement, gritting his teeth.

"Don't be ridiculous, Saber! Are you trying to say that the Red Lancer was defeated by a human?"

"That's right, Master."

Black Saber nodded.

"Servants can sense each other. I can feel that the knight is not a spirit summoned by magic like me and Red Lancer. He is not a heroic spirit that descends and possesses a living person like Ruler. He is a thorough human being... If I want to be more specific, he is more like the kind of hero that appeared in myths and legends in our era."

"What a joke! Where is it possible for such a being to appear now?!"

Gold shook his head. He even suspected that his servant was lying. In this era, it was impossible for characters from the legendary and mythical era to appear again. If there really was such a strong person, then the magicians could not be ignorant of it. Could it be that the person jumped out from a crack in the stone?

"Gold, don't be impatient."

At this time, Danik, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke.

"No matter who the opponent is, judging from his actions, he obviously has no hostility towards us. And no matter what, thanks to him, the Red Team's Master has consumed a Command Seal. For us, this is good news, isn't it?"

"Yes... Mr. Danik, of course I understand..."

Gold's fat face trembled, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. Originally, Gold took the initiative to attack with Saber, firstly to show the bravery of his servant, and secondly to take the opportunity to win over RULER to his side, but now, neither of the two goals was achieved.

RULER did not accept his invitation, and the limelight that should have been his was snatched away by a guy who came out of nowhere!

As a result, he became like a fool and wasted so much time in vain!

What bad luck!
