Upon hearing his brother's words, Edward Elrich recalled Olivia's previous nonchalant attitude as she left, not taking him seriously.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if his brother's speculation was more plausible.
Forget it, no matter what.
Let's just have everyone be a little more cautious to avoid any unexpected situations.
After thinking for a moment, Edward Elrich finally shook his head.
He pushed aside that embarrassing memory and intended to find Roy Mustang to remind him to prevent any unexpected situations that they wouldn't want to see.
Alance Elrich didn't stop his brother's thoughts.
He also felt that regardless of whether his brother or himself was correct in their speculation, it was necessary for the army to remain vigilant.
In the shadow realm, Yiu, Elme, and May Leu were sitting in the hall looking at the holographic projection in their hands.
The scene of tens of thousands of troops appearing from Rayu Air came back.
Upon seeing this scene, Yiu and the others had already confirmed that these troops were here to cause trouble for them.
I'll go prepare.
We can't let the guests arrive without a proper reception.
After confirming that there would indeed be a war, Meia no longer stayed in the Lord's hall.
Instead, she prepared to arrange for the dark elves to defend.
Although a mistress's military strength is nothing compared to the shadow realm, necessary precautions must still be taken to avoid giving the enemy any opportunity to cause damage in their territory.
Um, just pay attention to the defense.
Since the other party is sending tens of thousands of people to us as materials, we naturally have to accept them.
Yu ponder for a moment and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
The words that followed made the two women present freeze and they looked at Yu in unison.
Master, are you planning to? Although L may didn't finish her sentence, Melia already understood her meaning.
So she looked at her seemingly amiable master with some disbelief.
After all, that was tens of thousands of people, even though they were not of the same race.
If they really used tens of thousands of people to refine the philosopher<unk>'s stone, it would still have a significant impact on her.
What? There's no need for mercy against enemies, right? Since they dared to come and attack our territory, they should naturally be prepared to die.
So what difference does it make how they die? Yu said indifferently.
In his view, since they are enemies, there is no need to show them mercy.
Moreover, being turned into a philosopher stoned by him and being shot dead by the dark elves arrows are in Yu's eyes no different at all.
Wouldn't this be detrimental to your image, master? Many girls in the territory may not resist the deaths caused by war.
But if you directly turn tens of thousands of them into philosopher stones, the impact on them would be too great.
The two women understood the reasoning, but they were worried that if their master really did that, it would leave a bad impression in the hearts of the residents who had just joined the territory.
This would be very unfavorable for their master's future rule over the territory.
Then just tell them directly.
Moreover, if you don't use enemies lives to make philosopher stones, what else can you use your own people? Looking at the two women, Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and said directly, "In the infinite continent," "The most taboo thing is this kind of meaningless mercy.
So since you could take advantage of the enemy to bring yourself great benefits, why not do it? 50,000 people, the philosopher stones made from them would be enough for everyone in the territory to have one with such a huge temptation.
How could you let it go?" Besides, Yiu believed that in the face of such benefits, even those girls from the is world who were used to peace would understand.
Master, are you really sure? Oh, I may looked at Yiu, who had already made up his mind with no room for negotiation, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Of course, Yiu said firmly, "All right, I'll inform those girls right away.
" Seeing Yiu so certain, Elme knew she couldn't change her master's decision, so she didn't continue to persuade him.
I'm going to set up the defenses first.
Mileya nodded and stopped talking, heading straight out of the lord's hall.
Since their master had decided to turn those invading armies into large materials, it was natural for them as subordinates to carry out the lord's tasks well.
If it weren't for the fact that it sounded a bit cruel to use the lives of tens of thousands to refine the philosopher stone, she would actually be quite eager to raise her hand in agreement.
However, she wasn't as ruthless as Yayua yet, so for now, she could only act like a little ostrich.
Watching the two women leave, Yua shook his head.
He certainly understood why they were so resistant to this matter.
After all, it was simply too inhumane.
If it were just ordinary war casualties, no one could say anything about it.
After all, is there any war without deaths? But using human lives to refine the philosopher<unk>'s stone seemed excessive no matter how you looked at it.
However, UD didn't feel anything about this.
After all, he wasn't a person from this world, no matter how excessive it was.
As long as the time came, they would leave this world.
So, the resulting sorrow had nothing to do with Yua and the others.
Yayua had a clear understanding of the relationship between his shadow realm and these worlds.
He was just a passer by.
if he really encountered a special world, he might visit a few more times.
But for a world like Full Metal Alchemist, which had limited value to be honest, Yua wasn't very interested.
So after leaving this time, it was unlikely that Yua would come back again.
Therefore, although Yua felt some psychological burden regarding his future actions, it wasn't significant since he already had an idea.
Yet naturally needed to take action.
Although he already had the method for refining the philosopher stone in his mind, setting up the transmutation array would still require some effort.
After all, it was a transmutation array that needed to be set up for tens of thousands of people, not something that could be done with just a clap of the hands.
So Yu's figure quickly appeared on the west city wall, glancing at the desert in the distance.
He couldn't help but think about how to depict the transmutation array.
After all, if the transmutation array was drawn on the sand surface, it would be easily destroyed by the wind.
Moreover, those alchemists were not fools.
They wouldn't stupidly stand on it when they saw the transmutation array.
So, the transmutation array could only be drawn underground.
Thinking of this, Yu's mind moved and immediately shadow clones began to emerge from a shadow.
Those shadow clones rushed directly into the sandy ground outside the city wall and vanished into it.
The shadow clones quickly began digging underground according to the transmutation array pattern provided by Yua through the connection with the shadow clones.
Yua watched them move and nodded in satisfaction.
The next moment he disappeared from the spot and all that was left was to wait for the enemy to arrive.
Would it be inappropriate for the Lord to do this? Just as Yayua returned to the Lord's castle, on the other side in the library, Elmer stood before the newly summoned alchemists.
Also present were Shafuyu and other residents who had joined the territory.
When they arrived, Elmer had already informed the women present of Yu's decision.
Shafuyu had no objections to this.
After all, she was used to the brutality of the battlefield.
So, she neither opposed nor supported Yua's actions of using tens of thousands of people to refine the philosopher stone.
However, while she was open-minded, some people were not.
That included the newly summoned alchemists like Cusifil and the young lady Cecilia.
The alchemists were not in agreement because they felt it was too inhumane.
After all, we were talking about tens of thousands of people.
If all were used to refine the philosopher stone, what kind of sin would that be? Moreover, war does not necessarily mean killing everyone, right? Isn't there such a thing as prisoners of war? This was the alchemist perspective.
They believed that war was not as cruel and terrifying as imagined.
If others knew their thoughts, they would undoubtedly scoff.
After all, what kindness is there in the wars of the infinite continent? It's either you die or I die.
I feel there's nothing wrong with this.
After all, they are enemies.
Besides, you all must have seen the information that Lord Ub brought back from the National Central Library, right? Since the founding of a mestress, the number of wars waged has been considerable.
The number of people who died at their hands also reached over a million since they can be so inhumane.
Why can't we? Moreover, I believe that Lord Yua's approach is even more merciful.
At least this way, they die without any pain.
However, Shizuka spoke up at this moment when she was studying alchemy.
She had read quite a few books from a mistress.
Of course, she had seen the war history of a mistress.
One could say that the country of a mistress was born for war.
The number of wars they waged and the people who died at their hands were not few.
Therefore, she actually had little affection for such a country.
So, regarding what her man said, she felt there was nothing wrong with it.
