Chapter 386: Train Accident
"Now that I think about it, time flies so fast, a few months ago I was just an alchemist who had just arrived in Central City, and now I am a lieutenant general of Ameristras." On the president's train, Wu Ming looked at his military uniform very proudly.
"Indeed, a man like you, who has no military background, has become a lieutenant general before the age of thirty, and I am afraid that this is the only special case of Ameristris." Bradley sat opposite Wu Ming with his sword, because Wu Ming is now a lieutenant general, so it is normal for him to sit opposite the president, of course, there are other general-level officers with him, but these tricks are not mentioned.
"It's nothing, it's still the relationship between your promotion and the president, otherwise even if I capture a thousand artificial people, I'm afraid I'm just a colonel now." Wu Ming said with a smile, "It's just that the androids I encountered before were too weak to even fight back." ”
"It seems that the Alchemist of the Storm is very confident when dealing with androids." Bradley's eyes became a little strange, until now he still didn't figure out how strong Wu Ming's strength was, although the last time he fought with Wu Ming, Bradley and Wu Ming were tied, but Bradley didn't use all his strength, and he also knew very well that Wu Ming didn't fight seriously.
"It's normal, you androids always show the lower limit in front of me, and I'm really sorry for myself if I don't beat them up." Wu Ming stared at Bradley's saber and asked with some curiosity, "I wonder how sure you are of winning against how many of those artificial people, President?" ”
"I don't know, but the guys with the ability to regenerate are very troublesome, I'm old, I don't have a good body like you to torture and kill them dozens of times." Bradley shook his head, but Wu Ming knew very well that if it really fought, except for Pratt, Bradley could kill the other androids almost without injury in a heads-up situation.
"How so? I don't think the androids I captured were any match for you, Your Excellency. Wu Ming still maintained that incomprehensible smile, "On the contrary, if those androids have half your strength, it will give me a headache." ”
"Oh no, Your Excellency, Colonel Mastan doesn't know when he summoned some soldiers in Central City to carry out a coup d'état, and now they have kidnapped Mrs. Bradley." A small officer stumbled up to Bradley, and his words surprised those present, because Mastan's men had theoretically been transferred from all of them, and he should not be able to carry out a coup d'état.
"Do you need to rush back at once, Your Excellency?" A major general next to him said that Bradley is now taking a train, although it is the president's special car, but it does not have the function of turning around, "stop immediately at the next station, and take another train back in time." ”
"Another coup d'état? Even if Mastan summoned his former men back, Mastam's forces alone would not be enough to threaten Central City. Bradley said solemnly, "Even if they kidnap my wife, they won't be able to do anything, at most they can only delay time with the Central Army." ”
"According to the intelligence, shortly after Lieutenant General Wu Ming summoned the Alchemist of Frozen to return to Central City, Major General Armstrong of Fortress Briguz led his troops to advance in the direction of Central City, although she said that this was a military exercise, could it be that Colonel Mastan had colluded with Armstrong?" Another lieutenant general expressed his opinion that, judging by the current situation, there is a high probability of a coup d'état by Mastan and Olivia.
While Bradley and his lieutenant were discussing the coup d'état in Mastan, the wagon had already run to a viaduct, and it was not known why the train had hit the brakes, because of the huge inertia, everyone in the carriage had fallen except for Wu Ming and Bradley.
"What's going on? Is there something ahead? "This is the president's special car, theoretically it will never and cannot be stopped, if there is no way to give a satisfactory explanation afterwards, then the driver who stops the train without permission will be questioned, and it is a felony.
"Speaking of that guy Mastan, I've also studied his alchemy recently, and the alchemist of Flame really lives up to his reputation, both in terms of attack range and explosive power." Wu Ming took out a piece of paper, which happened to have the refining array drawn by Mastan on the glove.
"Lieutenant General Wu Ming, now is not the time to say such things, please pay attention, and when you return to Central City, I want you to deal with Mastan." The major general who spoke knew very well how much weight Wu Ming, the strongest national alchemist, had, and single-handedly destroyed Dorakma's granary, this combat power was simply equivalent to an army.
"There's no need for that." The corners of Wu Ming's mouth showed a slight smile, and his fingers gently wiped on the refining array of the paper, at this time Bradley had already pulled out his saber and stabbed Wu Ming, but it was too late, with a burst of blue electric arc, the train parked on the bridge was blown to pieces
"Today is the appointed day." Mastan looked at the sun in the sky, although it was still warm, but he knew very well that in a few hours, the whole of Ameristeris would be plunged into darkness, and all he had to do was to draw the attention of the Central Army before the eclipse.
"The Alchemists of Frost have returned to Central City after their mission, and now we have nothing to do." Fu Ai walked up to Mastan and reminded him that Bai Lu had just returned to Central City and called Fu Ai, and that the Central Army had already begun a large-scale search for Mastan and his men, and that their mission was complete.
"Why, Colonel Mastan, why do you do such a thing?" Mrs. Bradley on the side asked with some fear, although Mastan and the others had kidnapped Mrs. Bradley, they had not used any restraint against her, and Mrs. Bradley knew what Mastan had done.
"Because Chuo City is about to undergo tremendous changes, and by the time this qiē is over, we need you to prove that we are not wrong." Mastan crouched down in front of Mrs. Bradley and explained, but without further ado, another group of soldiers ran in from outside, and Mastan's side was outnumbered.
"Everyone but Mastan can be killed." The officer who took the lead glanced at Mastan and his group, and even Mastan was not 100% sure of reversing the situation when they were outnumbered. However, just as he was about to give the order to slaughter, his own men were suddenly wounded, and it turned out that Mastan had other subordinates in this house, and now Zi Xingshì completely reversed.
"You just said, 'Everyone but Mastan can be killed,' right, which means that Mrs. Bradley can be killed too." Mastan stared at the officer and said, although he had been waiting for this sentence to prove himself right, but when he actually heard it himself, Mastan couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"Has my husband been abandoned by the state? Or was I abandoned by my husband? Mrs. Bradley lowered her head in frustration, the meaning of those soldiers just now was obvious, that is, they didn't care about their own life or death, and the value of capturing Mastan alive was even higher than their own.
"I don't know, but we'll protect you, the Alchemist of Frozen has returned to Central City, and she'll take care of the rest." Mastan comforted, looking at the government building that kept exploding, it was estimated that there was already a fight over there, and now only Wu Ming's group would do this kind of thing.
"Colonel Mastan, let's shift our positions now, if we don't leave, we'll be surrounded." Sergeant Filley reminded that although many soldiers were taken away by the explosion of the government building, the number of troops that came to deal with Mastan did not actually decrease.
"Let's pray that Wu Ming and they can defeat those guys, otherwise each of us will be condemned for treason." Hubke reloaded his machine gun, and because Wu Ming killed Rust, Hubke was not beaten half-paralyzed.
"I don't think you have to worry about this, even if Wu Ming and them fail, we will not become death row prisoners for treason, because the moment they fail, we will become part of the Philosopher's Stone." Mastan put on his gloves and unleashed his alchemy to send the soldiers besieging them to clear the way.
