]]]] "Oh? That is, you want to trade your own life for the lives of the remaining Ishbals, is that what you mean? ”

The religious leaders of Ishbal, who were brought to the President's headquarters, negotiated with the President based on the experience they had had with Estes at the time, and the result was ......

"Impossible."

The big president's answer is no

Of course, such an outcome was expected by Estes from the very beginning of the negotiations......

…………………………………………

"Wait a minute! Aisha! Wait a minute! ”

Looking at his younger brother who had just burst out and wanted to choke Estes's neck, he was dodged sideways by Estes in a blink of an eye, and then grabbed his neck with one hand and carried it up with one hand unscientifically

Uzi's brother was in a hurry on the spot

"Woo-woo-woo-"

Although he was taller than Estes, and had many more muscles and burly than she looked, no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't pry Estes's very slender jade hand, and the fingers that were locked around his neck like a vise and made it impossible for him to breathe

"Taz!"

"Click" *N

Seeing that his child was being held hostage by Estes seemed to be out of breath, several elders wanted to step forward but before they could get up, dozens of submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles were set up around them. The muzzle of the Black Hole was aimed at the Uzi family.

These soldiers who have experienced a sea of corpses and blood, tens of thousands of comrades killed and wounded, and hundreds of thousands of innocent compatriots have been killed, the elite of Amestolis, who will not give any sympathy or mercy to anyone who challenges them and their esteemed Commander Estes.

All it takes is for them to move, and if there is any suspicious behavior, the bullet will shoot them through completely, killing them on the spot.

"Please let Taz go this time! He's just unintentional, please, okay? ”

For a moment, he was very uncomfortable with this feeling of saber-rattling and his life hanging by a thread, and Uzi's thighs began to tremble, and his voice began to tremble.

But Estes's eyes were full of contempt and mockery.

……………………………………………………

"You think too highly of yourself, don't you? Stupid humans? ”

Carrying his arrogant head, the Great Dictator, the President of the Amester Storis Army, Kim Bradley looked contemptuously at the naΓ―ve, ridiculously self-righteous bad old man in front of him, the naΓ―ve and ridiculously disgusting Ishbal monk, the fool whom the Ishbars relied on and admired the most.

The exposed right eye narrowed slightly, and his face was full of contempt and mockery.

"A person's life is only worth his life, neither more nor less."

"The deal is invalid, I will not accept your surrender, and the war of annihilation will not end."

……………………………………………………

"Why should I spare an enemy who wants to kill me? Is it because he's your brother, Uzi? ”

The beast-like eyes, Estes's cold and pale pupils were like the eyes of a polar winter blizzard, making Uzi, a good boy who had never even fought since he was a child, tremble.

Cold sweat poured down from the back of his head.

"Please...... Please, will you let him go? For the ...... See ......"

His voice was trembling and hoarse, and you could imagine how frightened Uzi was when he faced Estes at this time.

"For the sake of me and you, have you done academic research together?"

With a cold finish, Estes shifted his gaze back to the face of Taz in his hand that was staring at him viciously

"Do you think I should let you go? Uzi's good brother ~Taz~"

……………………………………………………

"You scoundrel! Bastard! Guy with no humanity! The gods will punish you! ”

I didn't expect that the president didn't even intend to negotiate with them, the representatives of the Ishbars, even if they surrendered unconditionally, even if the troops laid down their arms, he would not give them a chance to live.

So he became angry and cursed loudly and cursed the man in front of him, a man named Kim Bradley.

"Gods?"

Hearing this word, the look of mockery and disdain in Kim Bradley's eyes was even better than that of Fang Cai.

The negotiator in front of him is no longer human, except for the value of that soul, from thoughts to flesh and blood to their words and deeds, in the eyes of the president, they are completely no different from pigs and dogs.

"That's an incredible thing, the punishment of the gods."

Thinking of the past, the former qiΔ“, thinking of so many man-made and non-human things that have happened in this country for hundreds of years, remembering his own past decades ago, the great president got up from his throne with a little anger.

Looking condescendingly at these worms and waste, a stupid pig who gave up on his ego.

"Do you need me to kill a few hundred? No, tens of thousands of Ishbals, your so-called divine punishment will come? ”

If there really is divine punishment, then how was this country founded? If there really is divine punishment, then how did so many weak countries be annexed by Amerstories one by one? If there is really divine punishment, then why didn't the humans who died in the war under the manipulation of the war for 400 years be punished by these noble new humans?

If there really is a divine punishment......

"I see that you cowardly and ignorant Ishbals are about to be wiped out by me, and that your cities are about to be razed by our cannons and alchemists. Seeing that your nation is about to be wiped out, where are your gods and divine punishment at this time? ”

There is no divine punishment, Bradley never believes in this kind of thing, not only does he not believe in divine punishment, but even the gods themselves......

"What the hell is a god?"

The religious leader of Ishbal who was trembling with his own words mockingly

Kim Bradley continued to speak in a voice as prosaic as the sea, as deep as steel

"It's just a fictional phantom created by weak human beings in order to gain spiritual sustenance, and it's just a fictional idol created by fools and people who don't want to think for themselves."

Outside the Grand Presidential Palace, a contingent of cutting-edge troops that had just been brought in from other places, and truckloads of shells shining with metallic luster and tung oil were transported to the front line.

A brand new cannon that has just rolled off the factory line is replenished to the troops.

Columns of well-trained and well-equipped Amestorius soldiers marched again into battle with neat steps.

And the king of the host is in this headquarters. It was him, the ruler of the country, Kim Bradley.

This is the strongest power in the country.

"Do you want to rely on your own fictional characters to defeat me? It's stupid. ”

Want to challenge Bradley......

…………………………………………………………

"Want to challenge me? Want to kill me? Do you want to kill me? ”

With a big smile, Estes leaned his face slightly to the ear of Taz, who could barely breathe.

"Nai~"

The voice of the silver bell, the silver teeth of the white porcelain, the silky tongue, and the beautiful lips collided together, but the whispers of the devil were emitted

"Sue sΓΉ you a secret~"

The beautiful and heart-warming face rested against the rough cheeks of Tazna, which had been polished by the wind and sand and the cultivation of the warrior monks. From time to time, her aqua blue hair would be blown back and forth by her own rapid breathing.

But for the girl in front of him who deceived their family, who was obviously a spy who had played with their Amestories from beginning to end, Taz had absolutely no idea of a beautiful woman, and his opinion of Estes was only an enemy

"Remember those paintings I made in the city? ~It's those portraits that you see every time I sneak up on the roof~Those are the city defense maps I drew that you Ishbal people built~"

Hearing Estes tell the truth, Taz struggled even more, but he was neither able to break free of Estes's jade hand, nor was she directly choked off.

For those who provoke him, Estes has always liked to play with it and then deal with it depending on the mood.

"It's really hard for you, your younger brother, who doubted me from the beginning~ After following me for a few months, you didn't find the mystery in my painting, and you thought it was the work of the gods and culture of Ishbal that I really liked? ~Do you really think I'm going to worship and revere your pathetic gods? ~Stupidity has a limit, right? ~Pathetic Ishbals~"

"Killed...... Kill ......"

He tried his best to tear Estes' hands away and try to reach Estes's neck, but his hands were held by Estes's hand so hard that he couldn't even lift them. You can make some noises yourself, but that's about it. And this is the result of Estes relaxing the rules of the game in order to make his game more interesting.

"What do you think? ~How does it feel like the enemy has stolen all your confidential information right under their noses? ~ And your brother and I, the most famous executioner of Amesstolis, have a feeling of talking and laughing and throwing you aside? ~”

How anticipating, Hairy looked forward to the angry eyes becoming more angry, the twisted pain becoming more distorted, the feeling that pleased Estes when this extreme human soul emitted a furious flame.

The feeling of being so hated and hated by the enemy who challenged him filled his heart with joy.

That feeling of fooling and playing with the enemy and trampling on the dignity of the enemy~

"Woo! Woo-!! ”

Especially this kind of twisting in front of your eyes, ringing in your ears, and struggling in your hands, this feeling of playing with a backbone enemy, and playing with the feeling of trying to challenge your enemy, is the ultimate whole-body enjoyment~~

"Ah, I'm sorry~ I forgot to report myself to my family~ My name is Estes, Colonel of the Amess Storis Army, an alchemist."

"W-!"

I saw ~ I saw ~ this feeling, this kind of hatred that is better than Fang Cai's anger, the feeling of hatred that wants to knock me out of my bones and crush my bones, and it is really right to play with him~

"It was also the commander of the Southern Raiders who led the army to destroy most of your Ishbal City, and burned to death thousands of your pathetic compatriots with his own hands~"

"Yike!!!"

Finally, the angry Taz erupted in unprecedented rage, and actually broke free from Estes's control, and grabbed Estes by the neck with one hand.

Because of the height and size difference, his arms are obviously much longer than Estes.

"Donglongβ€”"

But unfortunately, it still failed, because Estes's eyesight and reflex nerves were too developed, and as soon as Taz broke free from her control, she grabbed her again and pinned him to the ground with hatred.

And it's head-to-head.

Shattered ground, shattered by Taz's head.

"Kill you! I'm going to kill you with my own hands! You devil! Devil! Witch! Kill you!! ”

Even after being knocked out and confused, Taz still remembered to challenge the witch, who was obviously much stronger than herself, to kill her.

That's right, if you want to sanction Estes, sanction this witch who ruined most of their city......

………………………………………………

"If you want to punish me, don't expect gods and divine punishments, and take revenge with your own hands! Stupid humans! ”

With a wave of his hand, he disdainfully asked the soldiers to take this waste out of their own headquarters.

"Take them away, and remember to treat them as ordinary Ishbals, who don't need special treatment. Just pull it out and shoot it. ”

It's all the same stupidity, the same stupidity.

"Bradley, you guy!"

"You taunt the gods! It's going to be a good death! ”

"You're going to hell! You bastard! ”

"Go to hell with your clothes!"

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! ”

Four bullets down,

Bright red blood and brains burst all over the place, and the president's temporary residence was finally restored

"Adjutant, pour me a cup of coffee, and remember not to add milk. By the way, I remember someone said...... The watermelon from Ishbal has a lot of red flesh, and it seems to be very good, so cut one for me and took it. ”

…………………………………………

"Very good consciousness ~ If you want to retaliate against me, sanction me and use my own strength ~ Taz."

Enough of playing with Taz, punch him unconscious, and throw it at Uzi and Uzi's family on the side.

"For the sake of Uzi's research, I will not hold Taz accountable today for attacking the officers of the state. Take him with me, we've been delayed for a long time. ”

As he spoke, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it

"The estimated results will be available in just a few minutes."

"Boom-boom-boom!"

Sure enough, as soon as Estes finished speaking, a thunderous explosion was heard from the gathering area of the rebels in Ishbar, which was caused by the concentrated fire of the long-range heavy field artillery unit.

"Sure enough, the war of annihilation will continue~ Your Excellency the President is still as resolute as before~"

Smiled and put away his pocket watch.

Estes looked at Uzi again. And the alchemy notebook he was holding in his hand

"By the way, Uzi, I haven't seen you in a few months, I wonder if you have any new research results recently? ~”

Estes knew that all of Uzi's important research would be written in that shabby notebook.

Seeing him holding the notebook, Estes asked excitedly

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No, there have been no special studies lately. ”

Involuntarily hiding the notebook behind him, Uzi lied.

Just now he finally knew where the alchemical problems in this country were, and finally found a way to reverse this terrible thing.

Just now, he was still dreaming that if he had the opportunity to give this notebook to Aisha in the future, that talent, intelligence, and action were much stronger than his own, and at the same time, he was the only one who could understand his own notebook that fused Eastern and Western alchemy knowledge and words.

I believe that if it were Aisha, there would be some way to come up with a way to organize this terrible thing to happen......

"Really? ~That's a pity~ I thought you would be able to work on something exciting in a few months~"

But when he really learned about Estes's personality and his terrifying personality, the timid Uzi hesitated.

He was afraid of the girl in front of him, because he was afraid that the original rational trust would be replaced by doubt and fear.

His trembling legs and his chaotic pulse and heartbeat prevented his brilliant brain from making the right decisions.

It was possible to make this terrible thing and the way to save it be announced right now, but in the end......

"Uzi, what's wrong with you?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

Fearful and suddenly distrustful, Uzi hesitated and flinched

"No, nothing."

He missed the opportunity and gave up Aisha, whom he once trusted.

There will definitely be a chance in the future to make this secret public! Certain!

But unfortunately, life's opportunities are fleeting, and you don't want to come back next time.

"Please take us out of town, will you keep your promise and let our family go?"

Now Uzi is thinking all about what will happen after he escapes, and he has put the matter of notes in second place.

"Well, of course~"

Completely different from the murderous demon-like feeling he had when he was with Taz just now, Estes who was looking at Uzi now was no different from Aisha.

"We're friends~"

But alas, Uzi no longer regards Estes as a friend, from the moment he discovers that Estes's terrifying strength makes him tremble and fear......

Uzi was no longer Estes' friend.

Because he was afraid of Estes, and he was very afraid of her......

…………………………………………………………

"Words ......"

After eating watermelon and drinking coffee, the president asked the adjutant

"I don't think I ever gave the order to cease the annihilation, did I?"

Putting down the coffee, the president asked with some displeasure

"Which commander gave the order to suspend the attack?"

"It is a notice issued by the commander of the Southern Raiders, Colonel Estes, that the rebel leader has surrendered to the Southern Raiders and captured the supreme leader of the enemy army, and the whole army is hereby informed."

That is, she did not overstep her authority to give the order to stop the annihilation, but actually let the annihilation stop...... Is that so? ”

Hearing that it was Estes who gave the 'order', the president had a smile on his face

"Yes, Colonel Estes did not give an order to stop the attack of the whole army, it was all decided by the other commanders of the annihilation zone themselves."

"Taking advantage of the soldiers' war weariness, the annihilation was actually stopped...... The trick of the little devil. ”

Thinking back to his daughter's successful smirk, the corners of the president's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Colonel Estes has behaved...... Oh......"

I wanted to say that it was indeed too stupid, but when I saw the slightly angry eyes of the president, the adjutant stopped.

What to say and what not to say, as an adjutant who served the president for six years, he still knows.

"If you don't understand, wouldn't it be strange...... As an understanding of a qiΔ“...... Grow your own ...... Under the strictest education, it is poured into the effort...... An excellent commander who has grown up in blood...... What is the reason for such stupidity......"

Thinking about my current situation...... Some of my usual thoughts and unplanned feelings......

Illogical and rational behavior......

"Sure enough, was it infected by a stupid person? ……”

β€œοΌŸβ€

The adjutant was bewildered by the president's playful self-talk

"Have you been in contact with humans for too long and become sentimental? That ruthless heart? ”

Naturally, he walked out of the temporary presidential headquarters and looked at Ishbal, who had been mostly destroyed

Look for the earth-shattering explosions and mushroom clouds

"What a stupid idea. Both are the same. ”

The words that came out of his mouth were disdainful, and the smile on his face was expectation.

"It still needs to be experienced, that steel heart."
