On the fourth day after the war, Su Xiao arrived in a small town near Central City. This was the station of Mustang.
The train slowly stopped. After Su Xiao walked off the train, he found that Mustang had come to the station to welcome him.
At this time, he was no longer a colonel. He took off his military rank.
"How is the situation?"
Su Xiao asked directly about the situation.
"It's not good. It has been two days since the war with the Central City, but there is not much progress."
"Huh?"
Su Xiao was a little confused. It was reasonable to say that the central army should crush the strength of the north and the Mustang troops.
"It's those miscellaneous troops that are dragging us down?"
"No, it's the undead army."
Hearing the undead army, Su Xiao nodded.
The undead army was invented by the medium and small people, using the Philosopher's Stone to make a body, fixing the souls of the innocent to the bodies made after the day.
In this way, those bodies could fight and would not die after being injured. After all, their core was only a blood mark.
The method to destroy the undying army, apart from destroying the body, could only destroy the blood mark.
However, the location of the blood mark was not fixed. Some were above the head, some were on the chest, some were on the soles of the feet, and the positions were completely random.
When ordinary soldiers saw this type of monster that guns could not kill, their morale hit, and some miscellaneous troops fled.
"It's not like there is no good news,"
Mustang said.
"What?"
"More than 30 of the soldiers in the central army have surrendered, and many of them have fled with their families.
There are less than 20 of the soldiers in the central army, and they have no fighting spirit."
Before the undead army went on stage, the alliance army fought with the central army.
The central army was defeated, and the central army stationed in the central city was even more useless than the central army in Carnot Town.
In a small town not far from the central city,
Su Xiao heard the sound of guns and gunshots coming from the distance.
This small town was five kilometers away from Central City, and the two sides formed a battle line at this distance.
Su Xiao looked at the top of the small town, and there were his army and the undead army fighting on this battle line.
The fighting style of the undead army was very special. They did not use firearms, but they relied on strong survival power. They rushed to their army with bombs and then detonated bombs. The casualties of both sides were very tragic.
According to the speculation of Mustang, the undead army was controlled by someone, and the person who could control the undead army was, of course, the small person.
The number of the undead army was temporarily unknown. From the current situation, this must be a long and drawn-out war.
The defeat of the central city had been determined, and the alliance army had surrounded the central city.
Seeing the current situation, Su Xiao's face was full of smiles.
This was the result he wanted to see. He did not care whether the central army was defeated or not. Being able to surround the central city was the best result.
At this time, the Central City was surrounded, only those people were there, and the final battle was about to begin.
Su Xiao and the others did not let him wait for long. Only five hours had passed.
In a bathhouse, Su Xiao soaked in a warm water pool, his back facing the door.
There were scars, knife wounds, and gun wounds on his back.
Steam lingered in the bathroom, and there was a man near Su Xiao.
"A good plan. If so, there is a chance to win."
The man who spoke was about forty or fifty years old, with long golden hair tied in a ponytail and glasses.
Hoenheim is the father of the protagonist Edward.
It was Hoenheim who took the initiative to find Su Xiao. Perhaps Su Xiao's actions attracted the attention of Hoenheim.
"Do you agree?"
"Yes, the small person in the bottle was born in my blood. I have the responsibility to destroy him."
"It doesn't even matter if I die?"
"It doesn't matter. I should have died a long time ago. I am already satisfied to have a pair of children."
Hoenheim chuckled. The muscles on his bare upper body were angular.
"How many Philosopher's Stones do you have in your body?"
Su Xiao looked at Hoenheim.
"Very few, dozens of people."
"Is that so? It seems that you have almost arranged it."
"Yes."
There were hundreds of thousands of Philosopher's Stone in Hoenheim's body, but now there were only a few dozen left.
"When will the final battle begin?"
Hoenheim heaved a long sigh of relief.
"Now."
Bang!
The bathhouse door was kicked open, and Edward Eyre rushed into the bathhouse.
Just as he rushed into the bathhouse, Edward stopped in his tracks.
"Hey, why are you here?"
Hoenheim did not speak, as if he did not want to explain anything to Edward.
Looking at Hoenheim, Edward finally looked at Su Xiao.
"What are you doing? You provoked a war of hundreds of thousands of people. Do you know how many people have died?"
Edward was very angry. He went to the battlefield. That was hell. That was the Shura Field. The soldiers there were no longer humans but killing machines.
"How many people have died? If I remember correctly, more than 100,000 people have died."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Edward was already furious.
"More than 100,000 people... Is life so worthless in your eyes? That is living life."
"So what?"
Su Xiao did not turn around at all. Since he had decided, he had to bear the consequences and explain that he was weak.
He provoked the war, and he would admit to the hundreds of thousands of people who died.
Su Xiao stood up from the warm water. Everyone had arrived, and it was time for the final battle.
"Is it about to start?"
Hoenheim had already thought of what would happen, and his tone was inevitably excited.
"Yes, the people on my side are ready. How are things on your side?"
"We can set off at any time."
"Then let's begin."
Drops of water dripped from Su Xiao's hair. After putting on his clothes, Su Xiao walked out of the bathroom.
"Edward, although this is not what a father should say, I still have to say it today..."
Su Xiao, Mustang, Olivia, and the others gathered in a conference room three hours later.
There were other people in the meeting room.
The protagonist's master, Izmi Cardis.
The protagonist's younger brother, Arsen Eyre.
The protagonist's father, Hoenheim.
Olivia's younger brother, Alex Louis Armstrong.
Mustang's subordinate, Lisa Hawkeye
Mustang's subordinate - John Hark.
There were a total of a dozen people, and these people were the main force in dealing with the small and medium-sized people in the bottle.
The final battle was about to begin, and Su Xiao found all the people he could gather.
These people would not obey him. They just had a common purpose, defeating the small person in the bottle.
Su Xiao spread a map on the conference table, a detailed map of Central City.
"First of all, we have to find a way to get close to the presidential palace, which is here."
Su Xiao pointed to a point on the map, and everyone present did not speak.
"The small person in the bottle is just below the presidential palace, but we must pass through the first test site underground. Below the first test site is the residence of the small person in the bottle. Arsen Eyre has been there before. Do you remember the route?"
Everyone present looked at Arsen.
"I remember."
Arsen was slightly nervous. He also knew what was about to happen.
Edward sat at the side in silence. Defeating the small person in the bottle had to be done.
"Very good. After arriving at the first test site, we will split into three groups and combine before reaching the small person in the bottle."
