Reincarnation Paradise - Chapter 419
Four days after the battle to seize the first train station, Su Xiao arrived in a small town where Mustang was stationed.
The train slowly came to a halt, After Su Xiao walked off the train, he found that Mustang had come to welcome him
At this time, he took off his military rank so he was no longer considered a colonel.
“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 has begun but there isn’t much progress.”
“Huh?”
Su Xiao was a little confused. It was reasonable to say that the central army should be crushed by the strength of the Northern army and Mustang’s troops.
“It’s those miscellaneous troops that are dragging us down?”
“No, it’s the undead army.”
Hearing about the undead army, Su Xiao nodded.
The undead army was invented by the Dwarf in a Flask, 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 wouldn’t 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, was only to destroy the blood mark.
However, the location of the blood mark was not fixed. Some were above the head, some were on the chest or some were even on the soles of the feet. The positions were completely random.
When ordinary soldiers saw this type of monster that guns couldn’t kill, their morale would take a hit, and some miscellaneous troops would flee.
“It’s not like there is no good news,”
Mustang said.
“What?”
“More than 30,000 of the soldiers of the central army have surrendered and many of them have fled with their families.
There are less than 20,000 soldiers in the central army, and they have no fighting spirit.”
Before the undead army went on stage, the alliance fought with the central army.
The central army was defeated, the soldiers stationed in Central city were even more useless than the troops from Carnot Town.
Su Xiao heard the sound of gunshots and fighting coming from the distance.
Su Xiao looked from atop a vantage point
in a small town about five kilometers from Central City, the two sides formed a battle line at this distance.
There was his army and the Undead fighting on this battle line.
The Undead had a special fighting style, they didn’t use firearms but relied on thier strong endurance to rush to the alliance’s troops with bombs and detonate when they were close. The casualties on both sides were tragic.
According to Mustang’s speculation, the Undead were being controlled by someone and the only person that could control them was the Dwarf in a flask.
The number of Undead was temporarily unknown and from the current situation it was going to be a long and drawn-out war.
The defeat of the central city had been determined and the alliance’s 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 didn’t 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 and bullet 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 his attention.
“Do you agree?”
“Yes, the Dwarf in a flask was born from my blood. I have the responsibility to destroy him.”
“It doesn’t even matter if you 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 once 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 human 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 didn’t 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 Dwarf in a flask.
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 Dwarf in a flask.
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 Dwarf in a flask 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 Dwarf. 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 Dwarf in a flask had to be done.
“Very good. After arriving at the first test site, we will split into three groups and rendezvous before reaching the Dwarf in a flask.”
