"From the bend of the energy flow, this tunnel under the earth is enough to circle Amestolius, and there is a restless force under the earth's crust that is blocking the effect of alchemy, and it seems to be arranged to protect the underground tunnel."

After returning from the underground tunnels, Edward told Olivia of his judgment.

Although not very proficient in alchemy, Olivia believed Edward's vision, which directly proved that the military people were indeed carrying out some ulterior plan against them.

To Olivia's annoyance, Blix Fortress, as an important fortress in the north, is very likely to be the last bleeding point needed to arrange the country's refining array.

The scabbard in his hand smashed to the ground, making a crisp sound of "clang", and Olivia had a dark face: "What the hell does the top of this country want to do!" ”

"Sister, this is the reason why we came to you, for the glory of the Armstrong family, we must not allow those dark people to act recklessly." Alex looked at Olivia seriously.

Olivia scratched her forehead to calm herself down, and soon she ordered her assistant Myerz: "The vacation is over, let everyone stand by and defend to the death, and never let the enemy have a chance to capture Blix Fortress." ”

"Yes!" Myerz commanded.

Olivia nodded, turned around and asked Edward, "Young man, can you destroy the passage underneath?" ”

Edward shook his head with a sad face: "No, there seems to be something guarding under that passage, and if you go rashly, you will only be attacked, and the environment there is not conducive to our fighting." ”

If you can't go deeper, you can't stop it, and that's probably what Edward meant. Olivia nodded her head to show that she understood, that is to say, from the perspective of destroying the territory and refining the formation, this road is basically impassable.

Unless the mountain is split and the passage is completely excavated, this is extremely difficult to achieve in the short term.

At this time, a soldier hurriedly ran over from the fortress headquarters: "Lord Olivia, news has just come that Lieutenant General Raven of the military department has arrived at the fortress, and he has named him to meet with the lord in person." ”

"Why did Lieutenant General Raven of the military department ...... at this time?"

Olivia was stunned for a moment after receiving the news, although the Blix Fortress is an important defense line on the border of Amestories, but since its establishment, no general above the rank of lieutenant general has personally visited, and even Olivia himself, who guards the fortress, is only a major general.

But after learning about the existence of the Realm Refining Array, Olivia quickly understood the purpose of Lieutenant General Raven's visit.

This is a temptation or co-optation by the military department, and it seems that the military department has already hit the idea of Blix Fortress.

Thinking of this, she immediately instructed Alex and Edward: "You should hide here first and don't go out, your identity should not be revealed at this time, I will ask Myerz to arrange a place for you to live." ”

With that, Olivia turned around heroically, ready to meet Lieutenant General Raven for a while.

In fact, at this time, Olivia was like a powder keg, and her heart was full of anger.

Edward and Alex looked at each other, their expressions not very good, they had just arrived on the front foot, and Lieutenant General Raven had arrived on the back foot, which made them feel more and more that time was pressing.

……

At the same time, when Edward and his men arrived at the Northern Fortress, Alphonse, who was in charge of communicating with the new envoys, headed south.

While passing through a small town, he came across Hohenheim, who was staying there. After an evening of talking to his father, Hohenheim, Alphonse understood what his father had been doing and was confident to continue on the journey.

Alphonse then succeeded in meeting Zhang Mei from the new country, and then changed direction and headed north.

On the way, they met Dr. Marco who was chased and killed by Scar, in order to protect Dr. Marco, Alphonse and Scar started a fierce battle, because of Zhang Mei's alchemy assistance, Scar Scar was unable to take Alphonse for a while, and then in the confrontation between the two sides, Alphonse told the truth about the war in Ishvar, and the two sides finally reached a settlement.

Then, in a cave, based on the notebook left behind by Brother Scarfa, he cracked the "Reversal Refining Array".

"I really found it, Jiang Mu said, this reversal refining array is the way to restrain the land refining array."

Alphonse was very excited to really find a "reversal formation".

Scar's face was also a little moved, "Big brother actually researched such a thing?" And who is the Jiang Mu you are talking about, and why does he know so much? ”

Alphonse didn't know how to explain Scar's question.

Zhang Mei hugged her little pet panda, staring curiously at the "Reversal Refining Array" on the drawing, her round little face was full of incredulity: "This formation is so magical, in addition to alchemy, it actually contains the alchemy of our new country." ”

"Brother Scar, your brother must be an amazing scholar."

"Big brother has been studying these when he was in his hometown."

"So what do we do now, hurry over and meet everyone?" Zhang Mei, a girl from the new country, asked.

"Hmm." Alphonse nodded happily, "But before we do, we're going to get rid of Kimberley and the others." Also, contact my master, Izmi, who is an amazing alchemist and will be able to help us. ”

"Yes, the enemy we are going to face is too strong, and it is necessary to find more helpers. ”

"It's decided in this way, there is still some time before the 'appointed date', and we will take advantage of this time to step up deployment, and the chances of winning are still relatively large."

……

Central City, underground of the Presidential Palace.

The pale Holmens leaned back in his chair with a deep face, his eyes half-closed, as if he was asleep, and in front of him, stood the president Bradley and the child-like artificial person Pride.

Holmens opened his eyes, his white robes rustling: "Russ, Rust, and Gratoni have all died in the Eastern Capital. ”

"Yes, Father, it's because of that 'Ice Flame Alchemist'." Bradley nodded.

"Oh, that new Chinese man named Jiang Mu ......"

Holmens groaned, and didn't move for a long time, only his fingers kept tapping on the chair, "He has already killed my three children, but since the other party can kill Rust and Gratoni, then the strength must be above the alchemists of all countries, and you are not his opponents." ”

"I was going to make that person a human pillar, but I didn't expect to lose three children. It seems that the plan needs to be changed. ”

"Father, should we just let each other go? Judging from the information brought by Russ, that Mastan may already know the truth, and even the Elric brothers may already know it, they are all the candidates chosen by your father, if something happens......"

Pride stopped talking, worried that the plan he had been pursuing for hundreds of years would be overheard.

Holmens waved his hand and said indifferently: "Don't care, Pride, the reason why the human pillar was designed as the starting point for launching the Territory Refining Array was just to facilitate implementation, even if there is no Human Pillar, the Territory Refining Array can still be launched, but it just takes a little more effort." ”

"Those guys won't blatantly publicize these things in order to maintain the existence of the country of Amestores, and that's their weakness."

"So Pride, you just have to take care of the pipeline of the land refining array, as long as the time comes, those people will be grasshoppers after the autumn."

"Yes!" Pride responded respectfully.

"Russ, you also go back and prepare, the most critical few days can't be messed up, you will sit in the military headquarters as usual."

Holmonx made the arrangement methodically, and although there were only two artificial humans in his hands, he thought that everything was under his control. Mastan, the Ellik brothers, and even Jiang Mu are nothing more than scabies.
