Chapter 139 National Refining Formation (Part 1)

"Has he been transferred to the central government?" Shen Fei, who originally wanted to come to the East City of Amese Country to find Mustang, immediately set off for the Central City after hearing the news.

"Hughes is still alive. It seems that his fate has changed." Shen Fei, who came to the Central City, did not immediately look for Mustang and Hughes, but observed in the dark first.

Hughes' fate has changed, but his previous arrangement in the Fifth Institute has been ruined. He had installed several cameras in the Fifth Institute before, wanting to observe secretly, but now the Fifth Institute has disappeared.

"It seems that you have been doing well recently." Mustang, who had just returned home and relaxed, took a deep breath. Suddenly, after hearing the sound in the room, he immediately took the flaming cloth gloves on the hanger on the side.

In the past, home was the most relaxing place for Mustang, but the current situation forced Mustang to place flaming cloth gloves in several places at home to avoid accidents.

"It's you." When Mustang saw that it was Shen Fei who appeared in the room, his tense body immediately relaxed, but even so, the flaming cloth gloves were not placed in their original place.

"I haven't heard from you recently." Mustang sat opposite Shen Fei and asked.

"I went to Qing. How is the situation now?" Shen Fei said, and then asked about the current situation, wanting to see how far the plan of the little man in the bottle has progressed.

"It was discovered." Mustang immediately told what happened during the time when Shen Fei was away.

Since the conspiracy of the artificial man was discovered, Mustang and Hughes immediately took action. With the continuous investigation, more and more information was discovered.

However, the artificial man was not stupid. Although the artificial man looked down on humans and did not take humans seriously, they were powerful. Mustang's actions were still discovered.

The reason why Hughes did not die this time was that Mustang made a deal with the president of the artificial man. Compared with other artificial men, the president was undoubtedly much smarter. He used the people around Mustang to threaten Mustang and the Fullmetal Alchemist brothers.

This pair of brothers who were looking for the Philosopher's Stone finally discovered the problem of the Philosopher's Stone, and thus discovered the truth. Then, when Winry and others were threatened, they had to compromise.

In order to make Mustang serve as a human pillar, all of Mustang's men were transferred to the Sifang Military Department, and Hawke, the personal adjutant, was transferred to the president's side as an adjutant.

In this case, Mustang could only serve as his colonel in Central City helplessly and honestly. This was the arrogance of the android.

If it were Shen Fei, even if Mustang was needed as a human pillar, he would not be allowed to move freely, at least he would be arrested and locked up.

The android had no idea in this regard. Mustang could move freely, and the Edward brothers could also move freely. After the brothers discovered that the Philosopher's Stone was made of life, they vowed not to use the Philosopher's Stone to restore their bodies, and they have been pursuing other ways to restore their bodies.

Of course, the androids are very tolerant of Mustang and others, but it is different for others. Scar has been hunted down, and even in order to deal with Scar, the Red Lotus Alchemist Kimblee was released from prison.

There are only seven androids, the president cannot move freely, and Pride has to act like a good kid. In addition, his ability can only be maximized in the Central City, so he cannot move freely.

Laziness is digging tunnels, and only Gratoni, Envi, and Grid can move freely. In addition, it is not just Scar who is targeting them now, but also Isaac, an ice alchemist, so Kimblee has to be released.

Because of Shen Fei's intervention, Isaac did not die at the hands of the president. From the current situation, it should be Mustang who contacted him, and the two sides may be cooperating.

In terms of combat, the strength of the androids, one-on-one, except for the president, no one can beat Scar, and Grid, who is known as the strongest defense, is not good. If it were not for the immortality of the androids, I am afraid he would have been killed long ago.

Lustful Rast died, killed by the joint efforts of Mustang and Scar. Mustang, who knew the truth about the Ishvale turmoil in advance, found an opportunity to talk to Scar when Scar attacked him. Because Scar did not believe what Mustang said, Mustang had to find an artificial man to prove his words. This artificial man was Rast.

Because artificial men look down on humans, they never lie to humans, and even show their weaknesses. Rast died under such arrogance.

Of course, because Mustang arranged it very cleverly, and Scar took the blame, the artificial man did not suspect that Mustang was also involved in killing Rast.

The monks of Ishgar have very strong physical fitness and fighting ability. If the national alchemists had not been dispatched during the Ishvale turmoil, the military sacrifice might have been greater.

Although Rast has the title of the strongest spear, this is her attack power. In terms of speed, she is only a little stronger than ordinary people. This is the world of Fullmetal Alchemist. Alchemists have strong attack power, but their physical fitness is just that of ordinary people.

After Rast's death, Gratoni, Envy, and Grid were hunting down Scar and Isaac respectively. The only ones left in Central City at this time were the so-called father, the president, and Pride.

Hawkeye found the trace of Pride and told Mustang through the code.

Although Shen Fei told Mustang and others about the information about the androids before, he did not tell them all about the identities of the androids. Knowing too much would cause problems.

The fact that Gratoni, Envi, Grid, Kimbley and others were not in Central City was actually Hughes' plan, to take advantage of the situation and lure the tiger away from the mountain.

During this period, Mustang also contacted some people, including Lieutenant General Gulaman, the old fox of the Eastern Army, and Major General Olivia Mira Armstrong of the Northern Army.

The reason why Mustang told Shen Fei all the situations should be to confirm that Shen Fei was on their side, after all, Isaac was also saved by Shen Fei.

"Is Rast dead? What a pity." Hearing that Rast was killed, Shen Fei secretly said in his heart that it was a pity. He came back this time to deal with the androids.

There are a lot of Philosopher's Stones in the bodies of androids. If several androids are captured, the content of Philosopher's Stones in their bodies may be comparable to the lives of hundreds or nearly a thousand people.

"I investigated some things in the new country, some of which are related to this place, that is, the energy problem of alchemy and alchemy." Mustang told all the information.

The alchemists in the country of Ames use the movement of the earth's crust as energy, which is actually not much different from the dragon veins and atmospheric flow of alchemy. The movement of the earth's crust can also be regarded as the flow of the atmosphere.

The main problem is that the alchemy that uses the earth's crust as energy, once the pipes filled with philosopher's stones arranged underground are activated by my father, the energy of the earth's crust can be blocked, thus prohibiting the activation of alchemy.

This should be the plan of the little man in the bottle to target the alchemists in this country. Once the alchemist cannot use energy, alchemy is just a pattern, and the alchemist is just an ordinary person.

If it weren't for Brother Scar's reversal alchemy array, even if the plan of the little man in the bottle failed in the end, Edward and others without alchemy would not be able to kill the little man in the bottle.

Most of the energy of the philosopher's stone in Hohenheim's body has been sprinkled on the land of the entire country by him.

"I already know about this. There are people from the new country here, and there is also Scar." Mustang actually knows something about what Shen Fei said.

Although Mustang has not seen the so-called father so far, he has seen Edward and Scar, and knows that Edward once couldn't activate alchemy. In addition, Scar once said his brother's words that there is a problem with the alchemy of this country.

Mustang is already working on solving this problem.

"I'll go to the North Fortress."

"It's so cold, it doesn't seem to be winter now." Shen Fei, who left the Central City, soon came to the North City. At the beginning, the season was still normal, but when it approached the Brix Mountains, the temperature dropped sharply.

At this time, the North Fortress was very lively. Edward and his brothers were here, Scar and his companions were here, and the artificial people and the Central Military Department also sent people here.

The tragedy of Lior has already happened, and the Brix Fortress in the north is the last place where blood is shed.

Scar and others came here to find the book left by his brother. Although Scar could not understand the book, he knew that it was his brother's life's work and was very important, so when he assassinated the state alchemist, he hid the book near the Northern Fortress.

In the Brix Fortress, because the environment is extremely cruel, it is difficult for outsiders to stay here for a long time except for locals. This is also the only place without a state alchemist. Not only the state alchemist, but even ordinary alchemists rarely come here. It's too cold.

From this, we can see the strength of a housewife wearing slippers. It's so cold in winter, let alone winter. In this situation, this housewife lived in the outside world for a whole month.

Fighting with the giant bear of the North with bare hands, and robbing the living supplies of the Northern Fortress for a month, she was not discovered or caught, so that she formed her own legend in the Northern Fortress. This strength is really not comparable to ordinary people.

Brother Edward, you can walk around safely, and the teaching of this housewife is indispensable.

"The war has already started." Flying in the air, Shen Fei looked at the siege war going on below. The Dracuma Kingdom was attacking the Northern Fortress in a big way.

The people in the Northern Fortress were unusually united. For the androids, it was not a difficult problem to solve. Anyway, they just needed enough lives to sacrifice. It didn't matter who was from that country.

The transfer of Major General Armstrong made the king of the Dracuma Kingdom think that the time had come to capture the Northern Fortress and attack the Ames Country. Coupled with the instigation of some people, this time the Dracuma Kingdom dispatched a large number of troops.

For the soldiers of the Dracuma people, especially those senior generals, the whole achievement of capturing the Brix Fortress, which was said to never fall, was something they would never give up, even if more people were sacrificed for it.

As for the people of the Brix Fortress, even if they knew that this was a conspiracy of the androids, they could only fight back continuously in order to kill more people. Whether it was to protect the fortress, to protect the country, or themselves, they could not let the fortress fall.

"Is this Lazy Sloss?" At the bottom of the Northern Fortress, in the underground tunnel, Shen Fei raised his right hand, looking at the strong man who fell to the side and fell asleep.

"Room." As the operation fruit unfolded, Sloss still did not respond. Then a cold light flashed, and Sloss was divided into eight pieces.

The Sloth of the Seven Deadly Sins is the most diligent worker. He has been digging tunnels for a hundred years. From the connection of the tunnels, it can be guessed that the beginning of the tunnel should also be under the Northern Fortress.

From this, it can be inferred that the land area of ​​the entire country has been decided long ago, so after achieving the goal, Ames did not continue to expand. Even if it was a victory in the foreign war, it would not occupy the local land, but retreat and repair, give the enemy time to develop, and then continue the war.

Among the seven artificial people, Lazy has a defense second only to Grid's body, and the fastest speed. With his physical fitness and his swift speed, it can be said that it is very difficult to deal with. In the original book, even if Edward's master and his wife took action, it was the Armstrong siblings who killed him.

However, for Shen Fei, under the operation fruit, there is no power to fight back.

"Kimblee seems to be here too. His explosive alchemy is actually very interesting." Shen Fei is also very interested in Kimblee's alchemy. When Kimblee was in prison before, he forgot about this person, otherwise he would have gone to find Kimblee at that time.

"The Philosopher's Stone is really powerful, but it's just too soft-hearted." After putting Lazy Sloss into a box and shrinking it with Pym particles, Shen Fei began to search for traces of androids or Scar and others through a telescope in the air.

Capturing the android, finding Kimblee, checking his alchemy array, and finding Scar to view the information left by his brother, these are Shen Fei's three goals.

Soon Shen Fei found one of them, Kimblee, and Alphonse was fighting with him at this time. With Alphonse's strength, he could not be Kimblee's opponent, but he had the Philosopher's Stone in his hand at this time.

Kimblee had it too, so the two sides used alchemy to fight evenly. The Edward brothers swore not to use the Philosopher's Stone to restore their bodies privately, but it was different when it came to protecting other people.

So even though Alphonse didn't want to use the Philosopher's Stone, he still used it at this time.

"So this is Kimblee's alchemy array. Is the so-called explosion just detonating energy?" Shen Fei had always been curious about Kimblee's alchemy and how he did it. Now after seeing the alchemy array on his palm, he immediately understood.

Although the principles of alchemy and alchemy array are similar, the patterns in the alchemy array are very different. This should be the result of the different knowledge of the two sides.
