Chapter 449: The War of the Actors
What kind of person is Yao Lin?
Sometimes funny, sometimes cunning, sometimes kind, sometimes ruthless.
But here he shows his will that is not at all weaker than Edward's - even more crazy than Edward!
Edward, Yao Lin, and Enwei emerge from that space and meet what the artificial calls "Father-sama". He is the one behind the creation of the artificial man and the manipulation of this qiē, and has the exact same appearance as Edward's father, Hohenheim - more appropriately a monster than a "human".
Although he has the appearance of a human, the inside of him is not human at all.
This monster is so powerful that Edward and the others can't even touch him, and he even controls alchemy - as long as he wants, no one in the entire Central City can use it.
However, since Edward seems to be part of their plan, they are not prepared to kill him.
And Yao Lin has become a prop for the "father-sama" to prepare to resurrect Glid (greed), who was previously devoured by himself and erased his memory.
What is the purpose of Yao Lin's here?
Unchanged, Philosopher's Stone!
And the artificial man was created by the sage's stone!
If you accept it, you may die, but that's exactly what he's been looking for!
Glid is greedy, and Yao Lin is even more greedy than Glied. Without the slightest resistance, he opened his body to Glid lightly - he wanted this power!
With such courage and perseverance, readers are deeply impressed.
Although I know the black hand behind it. But he couldn't beat the other party. The other party wants to take advantage of Edward. You can't kill them now. Then the president directly had a showdown with Edward and Roy, completely setting up Roy, threatening Roy with Lisa and Edward with Winry, so that they could continue to work for him. The two starting points are different, the path is not clear, but they both have the same soul will, and naturally they also have the same weaknesses.
A long memory kill ensued. This memory uncovers the entire "Fullmetal Alchemist", affecting almost all the fate of the characters, and it can even be said that the entire "Fullmetal Alchemist" world is the heaviest plot that revolves around this one story - the Battle of Ishbal Annihilation!
Rather than a war of annihilation, it seems more appropriate to describe it as a massacre. This is an unjust massacre that was premeditated and driven by the interests of individuals.
This story uses a very intuitive way to reveal the essence of war to readers all over the world - war, there is no justice, everything is driven by interests!
In this war, in addition to the soldiers in general, they were ordered to kill the civilians of Ishbar. The National Alchemist was used as a humanoid weapon for the first time in actual combat. In addition to dying on the battlefield, some of the civilians in Ishbar were put into concentration camps to participate in human experiments.
As a small number of people want to get the Philosopher's Stone. And the Philosopher's Stone needs the soul (life) of a human being, so this war was started.
What a familiar scene, the last world war, such a scene seemed to bloom all over the world?
Even now, if the Philosopher's Stone were to be replaced with oil and munitions, it would not seem to have any sense of disobedience.
Participating in this brutal massacre are not only the soldiers who carry out the orders and the military iron-blooded alchemists who demand themselves as soldiers and obey the orders, but also perverts like Kimberly who enjoy killing and power, and naturally there are also Roy Dazo, Hughes, Lisa and others who always appear in a positive image.
While feeling the cruelty of war, readers also feel the variety of human nature.
Some people see anti-war in it, and some non-governmental anti-war organizations around the world highly respect "Fullmetal Alchemist", and even use it as a means of propaganda.
Some people have also profoundly understood a truth from this -- if you are backward, you will be beaten.
Especially with Chinese history books and political books, the reading effect is better!
And "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year" I don't know if He Chen did it intentionally, as if it was to cooperate with this war, it also describes World War II, in that simple picture, the reader sees a turbulent World War II era from another angle - more simple and clear than what is written in the book, and at the same time more impressive.
War is a theme that surrounds the lips of fans these days.
The plot of the Annihilation of Ishbal cannot be viewed from God's perspective, because no one on the battlefield at that time knew the motives of the war. Perhaps in many wars in human history, the soldiers on the front line only cared about obeying orders to charge and kill the enemy, and no one would tell them what was behind the scenes of those wars - even if they knew? It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders.
People like Roy, deep down they don't want to cause the death of innocent people, they just obey orders. But after all, pulling the trigger, taking people's lives, and finally surviving from the battlefield, this will not be a reason for them to shirk, but only something they have to carry for the rest of their lives.
On the battlefields of Ishbal, Kimberley was the ideal soldier, a true weapon for war and killing. However, such people are also very dangerous and terrifying.
Alchemy, what was originally created to serve the betterment of human beings, has now become a tool for killing.
The alchemist, who was once respected and longed for, also bears the name of "monster" and hateful gaze.
The impact of this brutal war on people is very strong and far-reaching.
The people of Ishbal were almost completely destroyed.
Scar's brother died, giving Scar his own hands, leaving Scar, who was blinded by revenge, on the path of revenge.
Winley's parents were also killed in the battle - they could have survived, but out of the virtue of a doctor, they went to great lengths to save the lives of the enemy, the Ishbars, only to be killed by the Skar they saved.
"Why am I killing people when I'm a doctor?" Dr. Knox said to Mark at the camp, after which he could no longer be a doctor and became a coroner.
Mark, who was the main executor of the use of the Ishbals to refine the Philosopher's Stone, escaped from the military and survived with his sins. Saving lives in his hometown is also his desire to get spiritual comfort.
It's not hard to understand why he is so happy when he sees Scar underground, who wants to take his life—Scar is an Ishbar, killed by an Ishbar, and he thinks he can finally atone for his sins.
And Roy is also determined to climb up from then on, carry everything on his back, and use his own means to change and protect the country and the people!
Hughes followed Roy's and spent his life assisting Roy, looking forward to a better future in the dark!
Lisa also stayed in the army to protect someone (Roy) and use her blood-tainted hands to create a better world for the next generation!
Kimberley then carries out the perverted will, but he remembers all the people he killed, and treats Yiqiē with cold blood.
Armstrong, who showed his muscles all day long, preached brotherhood, and had a wild manly spirit, became a deserter at that time because he couldn't bear it......
Although this is a memory kill that does not even appear in the protagonist, this story completes the image of each character in the reader's mind and completes the world of "Fullmetal Alchemist".
Scar and Marco traveled north to investigate Scar's brother's findings, and Edward Al chased him north and entered the fortress of Briggs. Major General Armstrong pressed Edward to confess what they knew, and realized that the enemy wanted to use the whole country to form a formation.
The open and secret battle in Central City was transferred to the last place where the territory was formed, the Northern Fortress, and several forces gathered in the North.
In addition to the tense battles here, all the members of "Fullmetal Alchemist" are full of actor talents, whether they are protagonists or supporting roles, decent or villains, they are full of wisdom.
Not only did the Roy actor in front of him cover Lieutenant Ross to fake his death and escape by hiding from the sky and the sea, this scene not only deceived Edward, but also deceived everyone in the Central City Military Department, deceived his relatives and friends, and even the readers were all deceived.
There are also Roy's various intelligence networks, acting under countless eyes, exchanging cipher information openly, which is breathtaking.
Olivia, the major general guarding the northern fortress, Armstrong's sister, and the domineering Ice Queen, after receiving information from Edward, acted to get important information from Lieutenant General Raven, a high-ranking military officer who had pit Roy, and killed this scourge by the way, avenging his subordinates and never suffering in the future.
When Kimberley, Edward and others were chasing Scar, in order to take Wen Li as a hostage from the hands of the president, and at the same time not arouse the vigilance of the president, they have always given people the impulsive and irritable Edward acting skills, and let Scar pretend to hold Wen Li hostage to escape on the grounds of letting Scar live, but in fact, he used Scar's hand to let Wen Li Golden Cicada get out of his shell and deceive Kimber and the president.
On the eve of the decisive battle, Pride (arrogant) strikes, carelessly hits, and is trapped in a completely enclosed dark space, unable to get out. Seemingly giving up, he chatted with Alphonse, who had sacrificed himself to be trapped with him, but in fact, he tapped Alphonse's helmet with the rhythm of the military code, passing his position to his companions. In the end, waiting for Kimblly to save, in the process of fighting with Alphonse and others, Kimblly was seriously injured, as an artificial person, he should have ignored Kimblly and killed him and Alphons, but he suddenly stopped, making Alphonse and others mistakenly think that androids would also care about their companions, but in fact, after Alphons and others left, they intended to devour Kimblly and absorb the human body to refine - the alchemy formation that opened the "door to truth", and paved the way for the future if the number of people was not enough, using the human pillar candidate to forcibly open the door.
All kinds of intrigues, seduction intelligence, racing against time, and the layout behind it, although there is no sword and sword, no bloody collision between fists and muscles, it still makes fans enthusiastic.
pushed the final battle to the peak of the climax. (To be continued......)
