Chapter 35: Thermal Weapons War
Tens of thousands of troops were assembled in front of the border fortress, and in the vast snow, the border army wearing white winter clothes was not conspicuous.
They all knew that war was coming, but they were not afraid, and wars often happened in the border fortress, which was just a common occurrence for them.
The army was massing in a huge manner, and the Ellik brothers stood a little sluggishly in the side, witnessing the scene in front of them.
"What is this going to do? Is there an enemy army coming? ”
Although Edward was a national alchemist, he did not know what the concept of war was.
"No, brother, these troops seem to be heading into the country."
"Heading home? It's hard to ......"
Edward thought of a terrible situation, which was that Major General Olivia Mira was going to rebel.
"What she wants to do, no, she can't let this happen."
Edward was about to turn and rush out of the fortress when a figure stood in front of him.
"Don't be nosy, little man."
Su Xiao looked at Edward Elric with burning eyes.
"Who do you call the dwarf, and what do you want to do?"
"What to do? Of course, it is to hit the central city, and by the way, overthrow the rule of someone. ”
Receiving Su Xiao's answer, Edward's pupils constricted.
"What about the citizens of Central City?"
"Resign to fate."
"What are you kidding, that's tens of thousands."
"What about tens of thousands?"
Edward's breathing became heavy, if the Northern Army pressed the border and directly started a war with the Central Army, then the civilians of Central City would be unlucky, and the artillery would not be long-sighted.
"You should have overheard us while we were negotiating."
Su Xiao suddenly laughed.
"Listen...... And how. ”
Being stared at by Su Xiao in a smile, Edward had a creepy feeling, as if he was being targeted by the smiling Grim Reaper.
"Go to your father and tell him that the villain's plan has been interrupted, and he has to come to participate in the final battle, otherwise no one will be able to deal with the villain in the bottle."
Although Edward Elric's father is not very strong, he has a special relationship with the villain in the bottle, who was born with his blood.
"My father? He ......"
Before Erhua finished speaking, Su Xiao threw a document to the other party, which was the information of the villain in the bottle.
Alvard hesitated for a moment, then finally opened the bag.
"How...... How can it be. ”
"Nothing is impossible, this is the process of the birth of the villain in the bottle, the land refining array has been launched once, by the way, half of the philosopher's stone produced by the last land refining is in your father's body, it is a philosopher's stone that weighs hundreds of thousands of souls."
Von Hohenheim is important, and this is the key to defeating the villain in a bottle.
Edward stared blankly at the information in his hand.
"It's a demonic act, but what does defeating the villain in a bottle have to do with von Hohenheim."
"You don't need to know that, see you in Chuo."
Su Xiao turned around and walked towards the outside of the fortress.
"Wait, the Northern Army can't just ...... like this"
Before Edward's words were finished, Su Xiao suddenly turned his head.
"Don't be nosy, if you get in my way, I'll kill you."
Su Xiao's short black hair was windless and automatic, and his right hand inadvertently pressed on the handle of the slashing dragon flash.
"Then let's kill and see."
Edward's hands were clasped together, and the blue light flickered.
"Heh~, just kidding, you can't die yet, important human pillar."
Su Xiao turned to leave, and Edward froze in place, his calves trembling for some reason.
"It's not good, it's not good, why does this guy give me a feeling that it's more dangerous than the villain in the bottle, Alphons, Alphonse......"
Edward turned to see his brother standing still.
"Do you see the pendant in that man's hand, brother?"
Alphonse spoke with a trill.
"What pendant?"
Edward tried his best to recall, and soon recalled the pendant in Su Xiao's hand.
"That's ...... Wen Li's pendant?! ”
Winry Rockbell, that is, Edward's childhood sweetheart.
"This bastard, could it be said that she put Wen Li."
Edward was furious and was about to rush in the direction where Su Xiao left.
"Brother, don't go, let's leave immediately and go find Wen Li."
"But ......"
Edward forced himself to calm down.
"yes, go to Wendy first, and then ...... Go to Central City to stop the war. ”
The Elric brothers hurriedly left the fortress, and it didn't take long for only a few thousand troops to remain in the fortress, which was to prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking.
……
Two days after the march.
The small town of Kano, located in the heart of the north-western border and central city, is heavily guarded by a large station, although it has few inhabitants.
Tens of thousands of troops wanted to go to Central City, and it was obviously impossible to go on foot, and they had to carry artillery and tanks, otherwise they could not start the war.
The railway station in Kano Town is strategically important, and if you want to go to Central City, you must first take this place, and after taking the Kano railway station, the later supply will also be solved.
20,000 Central Army was transferred here, and the Northern Army was mobilized in a big way, and the Central Army was not blind, so of course it knew the purpose of the Northern Army.
Receiving numerous warnings from the Central Army along the way, Olivia arrived at the town of Kano with his army.
Thundered.
Thousands of tanks drove slowly, leaving track marks on the shallow snow.
The Northern Army dispatched more than 50,000 troops, with an average of more than 50 people per tank.
These fifty people are not sitting in the tank, these people are also sitting in the tank.
Su Xiao sat on the shell of a tank, and from a distance, the town of Kano had already appeared in sight, it was a peaceful town.
Half a kilometer in front of the town of Kano, a row of trenches had been dug and yellow-colored sandbags were piled up in front of them, and the infantry of the Central Army were hidden in the trenches.
"White night, the battle is about to start, don't sit on the tank."
Olivia put down the binoculars in her hand.
"How many enemies are there?"
"About twenty or thirty thousand, all straw bales, dug in the trenches like dung pits."
"After the start of the war, I will be in charge of the commander-in-chief of the enemy army."
During the war, Su Xiao was not prepared to deal with ordinary soldiers, it was meaningless, and beheading was the fastest.
"Okay, that's war."
As soon as Olivia finished speaking, a shout came from the trench ahead.
"Olivia Mira Armstrong, surrender, for the sake of you being a former major general, the president will let him live."
A shout came from inside the trenches, and no one was seen at all, and it seemed that the person who shouted had little guts.
"Assemble the battle formation, prepare for battle!"
Thousands of tanks lined up, each followed by more than fifty infantrymen, who moved forward and the infantry followed.
This is what it looks like in a large-scale war in the era of thermal weapons, with tanks in front and infantry in the rear.
Boom, boom......
The tank's main guns fired shells incessantly, and the trenches a few hundred meters away were splashed with dirt.
An officer of the Central Army was frightened by the artillery fire, and hid behind the trench tremblingly, he became a second lieutenant by virtue of his kinship, and he had never seen the appearance of war at all.
Woo~.
There was a rapid sound of breaking wind, and a black cannonball flew in, and the appearance of this cannonball was like a bullet magnified dozens of times.
Poof.
The shells stuck in the dirt in the trenches and landed right next to the bale lieutenant.
The bale lieutenant looked sideways, trying to see what it was.
Rumble!
The shells exploded, the explosion of the shells was not terrible, the really terrible thing was the scattered shrapnel, the bale second lieutenant was directly plugged by the shrapnel, and died forty-three seconds after the start of the battle.
