Chapter 249: Leaving Fullmetal Alchemist FA
After the complete annihilation of the reactionary clique of the "villain in a bottle", the resistance of the Central Army has completely lost its meaning.
The gap between the two sides in high-end combat power could not be bridged, coupled with the fact that all the commanders fell into the hands of the enemy and other reasons, soon, the Central Army completely gave up resistance and chose to surrender to the Briguz army.
And once the dust settles on the side of Central City, the overall situation of the whole country will no longer have the possibility of any changes, because Roy Mastan, who held the president's wife in his hands in advance, has long controlled the high ground of public opinion, and after the victory of the war, it is really what they say, and no one can see through the truth.
Of course, there is no need to tell ordinary people about the matter of "refining the territory into a formation", after all, the exposure of that matter will undoubtedly greatly reduce the credibility of the government, so Roy Mastan and those people will definitely not publish all the facts to the public.
All the blame was put on the generals of the Central Army, who were labeled as coup d'Γ©tat and rebellion, and the president "Kim Bradley" was killed by them heroically, including his child "Selim Bradley", who also died at the hands of those rebels.
Roy Mastan and Olivia Mila Armstrong met successfully in the office of the President.
"Your Eastern Army has a good plan, do you want to wait for our Briguz soldiers and the Central Army to be defeated before taking action and cleaning us all up together?"
Olivia was quite resentful, because the Eastern Army, which had promised to attack with them, had not arrived until the end of the war, and Major Miles, the envoy she sent to the Eastern Army, also proved her guess, that the old fox of Gulaman was the one who fought the calculation.
"You misunderstood this, that old fox didn't just use you as bait, I was also a pathfinder thrown out."
Roy Mastan shrugged at Olivia Armstrong's accusations, he knew the old thing well, although he had a lot to do with Gulaman, not to mention that Lieutenant Hawk Ai was here, but Gulaman's old fox was a real "political animal", and it was his instinct to play politics.
If that "old fox" is not completely sure and does not get enough benefits, even if he and Lieutenant Hawk Ai die in Central City, he will not make a move at all.
"The old fox really lives up to his reputation, and you Eastern Army don't have a good thing."
Olivia came up with a map bombardment, which left Roy Mastan speechless, but he still had to endure it here because he wanted to make sure Olivia Armstrong didn't continue to do things.
Wait a minute, that "old fox" of Gulaman will come over with the people of the Eastern Army, and if Olivia Armstrong's brain is hot, then I am afraid that the war will continue.
"Briguz soldiers, assemble."
However, Olivia Armstrong obviously did not have that kind of irrational plan, and she directly began to gather troops, not to prepare for war, but to prepare for the evacuation of Central City.
"When your people come, the people who have done the handover of me will leave, we are different from you, we will go back to Briguz."
Olivia Armstrong chose to return to Briguz because she knew that her side was too tired to continue fighting, and because she didn't want to go into a civil war because of this kind of thing.
Although the headquarters of the Central Army was controlled by the Briguz soldiers, the battle with the Central Army also caused them a lot of losses, and the regrouped Briguz soldiers did not seem very excited, after all, they were also a miserable victory.
"Olivia..."
Roy Mastan was a little surprised, but he could understand the woman, the main reason why the other party would cooperate with them was because the target of the android group was everyone in the entire Amsteris, and they would come here to fight the androids, also to save themselves.
Otherwise, it would be too difficult for the Frost Queen to mobilize the Briguz soldiers to the central city, because the Briguz soldiers guarding the northern border of Amestoris, like the towering walls of the Briguz Fortress, could not leave the north, because only if they were stuck there, the walls would have the meaning of their existence.
"Are you sure you don't want to stay in Central City?"
Roy Mastam's question, of course, was answered in the negative, leaving some people in charge of guarding the prisoners and handing over, and Olivia Armstrong began to withdraw to the north with his men.
The Eastern Army arrived belatedly and took over Central City from the remaining Briguz soldiers, including prisoners and all sorts of supplies, and Olivia Armstrong walked cleanly.
"That woman is really stubborn, she is not a big president, this kind of general position on the side of the town is more suitable for her."
And the "old fox" Gulaman, who got cheap, mercilessly gave Olivia, the "northern wall of Briguz", such an evaluation. denied her ability to be president, but affirmed her ability to be a general who guarded one side.
"And what do you think of me?"
Roy Mastan took his old boss's words speechlessly, he felt that Gulaman was really not very authentic in this matter, but he had to admit the other party's mind.
"You can barely do it, but you still need to go through more training before you can become a really suitable person."
The old fox Gulaman lifted his glasses and squinted at Roy Mastan, he was quite satisfied with this successor he had cultivated, but he was too young.
"So before I grew up, the position of this big president?"
The more Roy Mastan spoke, the more speechless he became, because he could guess what the other man was trying to say without Gulaman going on.
"Of course, the old man and I will do it for you first, will you still worry about me? Mastan, I've given you all my granddaughter, can I still give up this position to someone else? Of course, if you do a bad job, the girl from the north who just left can let her try it. β
"Old fox" Gulaman said and laughed even more happily, this guy is really not bad, but a bit too politician.
"Forget it, it just so happens that I also want to solve the problem of the Ishvars first, and I don't have the heart to be the president until the problem of the Ishvars is perfectly solved."
Roy Mastan also shook his head with a smile, but he didn't say anything more to the old fox Gulaman, he had already made this plan, and it could be regarded as atonement for himself, if he didn't settle the Ishvars, he felt that he really had no face to be the president.
Especially if the survivors of Scar and Ishvar were able to put aside their prejudices and join them in defending the country, he had to do something for the Ishvars.
To this end, he also kept Olivia's half-breed Major Miles the Ishvar, and Scar, who had already established some prestige among the Ishvars, and they would work together to rebuild Ishvar.
"Hohenheim, what does it feel like to be a person who suddenly loses the ability to live forever?"
In Edward's hometown, in Lisenburg, Ling Ze asked Hohenheim that Hohenheim had begun to show some old age at this time, and he could really be said to have aged overnight.
Because the power of the "Philosopher's Stone" has been exhausted, Hohenheim's life can no longer last "too long".
"It's probably very unwilling, I'm tired of this state a long time ago, but when I really realized that I was about to die, I still hoped that I could continue to live, but I didn't expect that I couldn't escape this situation."
Hohenheim is quite helpless, he actually won't die so soon, the amount of "Philosopher's Stone" in his body can last for twenty or thirty years without a problem, but this state of counting days and waiting for death is indeed a bit difficult.
"You can't say that, you used to feel that life was tormented because of the pressure of that guy who has been bothering you, so you will always feel that life is painful, but now that you have got rid of his influence, you feel that life is so happy and beautiful, and naturally you will feel that life is too short."
Ling Ze smiled, he took off his blindfold, and like Hohenheim, he sat on the hillside, looking at the fields in the distance, the breeze blowing, plucking his hair.
"It's time for me to leave, too."
Looking at the natural scenery of the wind blowing wheat waves, which made people extremely relaxed and comfortable, Ling Ze sighed and said goodbye to Hohenheim.
In the process of setting foot in Amsteris together, Hohenheim taught him a lot of things, and after getting along for so long, this old man who has lived for hundreds of years really takes a lot of care of him.
"Where are you going?"
Hohenheim looked at Ling Ze, this boy who was full of mysteries, so that he, the "old immortal" who had witnessed everything, didn't know how to understand, he couldn't see through the boy in front of him at all.
"As I said at the beginning, when the dust settles, when fate reaches a perfect point, it is time for me to disappear."
Ling Ze looked at Hohenheim, he had already given everyone a preventive shot before, and the previous magic stick operation was clearly arranged for himself.
β... Bon voyage. β
Hohenheim didn't ask more, but nodded, and then seeing that Ling Ze didn't react, he asked again:
"When are you leaving?"
"Sit down a little longer."
After a pause, Ling Ze looked at the endless wheat fields and replied casually.
"Have you said hello to everyone? You don't want to do that without saying goodbye, do you? Do young people like this? β
Hohenheim was a little helpless, but he really looked like a heartbroken old father, this is also a helpless thing, his two children, now one has just recovered his body, and he is still very weak, the other has lost his alchemy, and he is not used to doing anything, his old father has really worried a lot recently.
In the end, Edward Elric still used his alchemy to exchange for the body of his younger brother Alphons, who was really very stubborn and persistent.
"Anyway, there is a daughter-in-law to help you, and you have nothing to complain about, this is probably the punishment for not doing your fatherly duties when they were young, and you can't escape it, unless you die very simply now."
Ling Ze made a joke, but laughed at what Hohenheim had said.
"That's not good, I'm worried that I don't have enough to live, how can I just die? Punishment is punishment, I didn't fulfill my father's obligations, I really want to hug my grandson to make amends. β
Hohenheim quickly completed the role change, and he is now the person who is most looking forward to the marriage of Edward Elrick and Winry Lockbell, and he feels like a parent urging marriage.
"It's really happy, I hope you can always be so happy, it's not a kind of happiness to die peacefully, take your time to feel the experience, I won't disturb your life here."
After a slight sigh, Ling Ze stood up and put on the blindfold, and when he saw Ling Ze standing up, Hohenheim also quickly got up, because he realized that Ling Ze should be about to leave here.
During this time, Ling Ze had been bothering the rebuilt home in Hohenheim, and this house was built with Ling Ze's help, after all, he had learned the alchemy of building a house with Aizak Marcodugaru before, and he didn't do this job with his hands.
As for the guy Aizak, he continued to stay in the army, and he also devoted himself to helping the Ishvars, after all, he was also very sorry for the mistakes he had made, otherwise he would not have worked so hard to overthrow the junta.
And on the way back to Lisenburg, Ling Ze also happened to meet Yao Lin, the prince of the new kingdom who was looking for a way to "immortalize and immortalize", the prince of the new kingdom was actually quite unlucky, because he was a step late, he was destined to miss the "Philosopher's Stone", everything had been settled, and the relevant research materials were all destroyed.
But this is actually quite good, because Yao Lin, who got the "Sage's Stone", after returning to the new country and becoming the emperor, will really want to become a veritable "Emperor of the Ages", that is something that no one can say.
And once Yao Lin, who became the emperor, wanted to do that, it would probably be a bloody storm in the new country, adhering to the idea that more things are better than less, Ling Ze did not give any help to the prince of the new country.
On the way, I met a little fan girl who was looking for the "Fullmetal Alchemist", and followed them back to Lisenberg, but unfortunately the "Fullmetal Alchemist" himself was too short and too fierce, but the taller and gentler Alphonse got the favor of the little girl, after all, it was still early, and Edward had not grown taller.
"No need to send it, I'll leave now, there will be a period later, and I'll see you later."
Ling Ze went through all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and finally decisively used the [Optional World Return Card], everything here is already so perfect, he has nothing to be nostalgic about, hurry up and go back as soon as possible is the last word.
The golden light flickered, the [Optional World Return Card] shattered and scattered, and Ling Ze chose to return to "Slash! The world of Crimson Pupil Zero.
And looking at Ling Ze, who suddenly disappeared, Hohenheim's hand that he had just waved froze suddenly.
"It's sudden."
Hohenheim put down his hand and smiled helplessly, he planned to use his spare time to write a book to record their story.
And not long after, the story of a new Chinese man with prophetic abilities named Ling Ze began to be serialized.
The background of the story is empty, but the general context is somewhat similar, and Hohenheim managed to write a best-selling book, which was even turned into a radio drama.
The prophet Ling Ze, a native of Xinguo, suddenly became a famous figure and a household name in Amerstolis, and finally even spread to Xinguo, and it is still very popular.
