Chapter 39: The Burning Anger
"Hey! Wait a minute! Some injured people have been taken to the hospital! ”
"Isn't it the wounded? …… Oh? Looks like an Ishbal monk, is that really okay? ”
"It's okay, I have a lot of injuries on my face and body...... It doesn't look like we can get up, and besides, we're just in charge of the outside. ”
"Yes, the commander said we can't go into the hospital and disturb their treatment."
"Then keep on guard, the rebels in the south may escape at any time, be careful not to let them escape into the clinic."
"Yes."
At the same time that a strong Ishubal monk with a tattoo on the back of his hand and a wound to his face was admitted to the clinic......
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Colonel Estes! You've come back from the Saida district. ”
Less than five minutes past the Lockbell Clinic, Estes entered the defense zone of his troops.
As a result of this arrangement, Estes' troops quickly collected the rebels' weapons and equipment, informed the entire army of the enemy's exact and up-to-date positions, and had the artillery aim at the enemy's gathering point.
Therefore, after the order for the President to attack again, Estes's forces quickly eliminated the rebels in their way and opened the road to the Saida district, and now the sixth district and the central district have been effectively connected.
Six hours after Estes and the Black Pupils arrived at Saida, Estes' Southern Raiders finally marched into Saida and met Colonel Estes, who had just returned from the north.
"How's the annihilation mission going now?"
Seeing the officer of the vanguard led by him, Estes asked
"Report to the Commander! As soon as the enemy was left without weapons, our casualties were effectively controlled, the organized resistance had basically disappeared, and the annihilation had entered the final stage. ”
That is, the stage of completely clearing the city of Ishbals.
"Is Colonel Glenn okay?"
Estes just asked casually, and Estes was really not too worried about his teacher
"As soon as you return to your command post to direct the final purge work, the president also asks when you will return to your command post to direct the final purge work?"
Bradley wanted to deliberately temper Estes' steely heart, hoping that she would take on this last bloody mission with her own hands.
"Please telegraph to Your Excellency the President, I will return to the headquarters early tomorrow morning at the latest, and accept all the command tasks, please rest assured."
The reason why Estes was not so concerned was because she knew that there was no suspense about the complete victory of the Battle of Ishbal.
The armed forces of the Ishbals have been completely wiped out, and the remaining tasks do not need a head, as long as they can shoot and be ruthless enough to be a commander.
It's not challenging for her anymore.
And......
"Where's the nearest call? I'm going to give you a call. ”
Looking at the Rockbell Couples' clinic, which was less than 200 meters away from their troops and themselves, and looking at their own soldiers who were protecting a full squad around the clinic.
Estes nodded in satisfaction.
"It's finally done~The agreement with Wen Li~"
Thinking of the lovely Wen Li who was still at home waiting for her parents to return, Estes smiled happily
"Commander......
For the first time, the captain saw the commander smile so brightly and innocently for the first time, it was like a child.
"What's wrong?"
See that innocent smile on that touching peerless face.
It simply made the captain of the advance team feel that it was worth dying now.
"Hug ...... I'm sorry! The subordinates are out of shape! ”
But sure enough, the cute princess or something has to wait until there is no one to be secretly cute in the future, otherwise the commander will know about it and will be killed.
Compared with the raw melon eggs and young people who dream of the commander's cold face and dream big dreams most nights, today the captain has stored in his mind a rare and beautiful scene.
It seems that there is a dream tonight~
Seeing that the war was about to end, the captain wanted to join Feifei.
"There's one across the street, just set up."
As he spoke, the captain pointed to a small room around the corner, and sure enough, there was a telephone line in it.
"Well, go ahead and go about your business."
Now all Estes has to do is call Wen Li and tell her that she will be able to bring her parents home soon.
At this time, she felt that victory was in hand, but she had no idea that an extremely dangerous Ishbal had been sent to the Lockbell couple's clinic because he was wounded.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Let's go! All go! If you don't leave, the national army is coming! ”
…… I...... Not dead yet? ……
"Get out of the clinic! Those who can walk hurry up and leave with those who can't! The national army outside will be coming over soon! ”
……… I remember...... Let's go east...... After walking for a while...... Ran into the National Alchemist......
"Only those who need urgent medical treatment can be left here, so let's get away with the rest! Otherwise, you will die! ”
… Explode...... It happened...... My brother blocked the explosion for me...... Brother...... Is he okay? ……
Reaching out in a daze, he wanted to find his brother's figure, and Taz, who had escaped death, wanted to find his brother...... The elder brother who was timid since he was a child, but blocked the explosion for his younger brother at the last moment......
"Brother...... Brother ......"
"This man here has woken up! He's awake! This man is awake! ”
This is...... Brother's arm......
In the blurred vision, an arm appeared, which was the tattoo that the elder brother had taken under the class on his arm when he was studying alchemy and alchemy.
Taz knew his brother's arm, and he wouldn't be mistaken
"Great...... It's really nice......"
I saw my brother's arm, I saw him moving...... That is, my brother is fine.
I'm sorry...... Brother...... I shouldn't call the shots...... You shouldn't go east...... I?!
The vision gradually became clearer, and his brother's arm was getting closer and closer to him, and Taz was very happy and wanted to reach out to grab his brother's arm, but why did his arm and his brother's arm move exactly the same as his brother's hand?
It's like my brother's arm is my own......
"What?!"
When he gradually regained his strength, he looked up at his brother's arm, only to find ......
"Ah!!! What is this?!!!! ”
His brother's arm, the arm of his brother who loved him the most to protect him, the arm of his brother that Taz would never mistake, was at this moment, but it was perfectly attached to his shoulder and became a part of his body.
That brother...... What about my brother?
"Taz, live...... Escape with my research...... My only brother ......"
For the first time, he emphasized theory over practice, and he was the least good at alchemy, and he used it ten times and failed nine times, and Uzi, who was nicknamed incompetent in practice by Estes, in order to save his younger brother, the first time, the real first time, brought his alchemy ability to the extreme, healed most of his brother's fatal injuries, and then gave his arm to his younger brother in order to stop the bleeding of his brother's blown arm......
How long can a person live without an arm and without a way to stop the bleeding? Five minutes? Ten minutes? Twenty minutes? Can it be more than half an hour?
Coupled with a severe blow to the abdomen, blood loss continued......
It's been a long time since Taz was in a coma and awakened, and his brother has fallen forever in the rubble that had been blasted into ruins by the Red Lotus Blast.
"The abominable national army...... Damn the country alchemist...... Damn Amestories!! ”
Want revenge! Revenge for my brother! Avenge your father and mother! Avenge your uncle and other dead relatives! Avenge the women and children who were killed by the Amestorius Army! Blood debt and blood repayment!
"This patient needs sedation! Give him a shot! ”
"No more! The last sedative has just run out! ”
"You damned Amenstories! Die! ”
Picking up a sharp scalpel in his hand, Taz stabbed the two nearest Amestolis in a fit of rage.
"Dr. Rockbell! Be careful! ”
Before they could come to their senses, a sharp scalpel stabbed them in the body......
