So remember when a war is not completely over.

Any enemy must die to be responsible for your own people.

Upon hearing this, Chibacito looked at the group of alchemists and realized that they were not much different from those girls at is academy.

So she patiently began to explain to them, "All right, we now know what to do in the future.

" After hearing this, Kusfir exchanged glances with the other alchemists and nodded in agreement.

Although they had a kind-hearted nature, they were not truly foolish.

Chibito had made it so clear if they still couldn't understand, and they really could just buy a block of tofu and crash themselves to death.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

During these two days, the army of Astress had gotten closer to the area where the shadow domain was located.

However, because the opposing side consisted entirely of ordinary people, even with vehicles, their movement speed was still greatly affected.

But according to their distance from shadow domain, they should be able to reach it in about a day's time.

And Niu, who had been monitoring the Amstrous army the whole time, of course, knew this.

Furthermore, through the report from IS-05 hidden above their heads, YiU discovered that there were actually quite a few things in the Astress army that did not appear in the original work.

For example, some alchemical puppets similar to those Yu had obtained from alchemy.

Yu found that Astress also had them, but the number was not many, just about a thousand.

Although she didn't know the strength of these alchemical puppets, Yu dared not be the slightest bit careless.

After all, her philosopher Stone's transmutation array could only transmute life.

And alchemical puppets being lifeless would not be affected by the transmutation array.

This meant that if these alchemical puppets entered the transmutation array along with the army, it could very likely interrupt Yiu's transmutation.

Thinking of this, Yu couldn't help but furrow her brows.

What is the master thinking? Inside the lord's castle, Yu sat in hallal looking at the amestress army displayed on the holographic screen, her brows tightly knitted.

This prompted Elm and Maria beside her to come over with concern and ask, "Have you seen these alchemical puppets? I'm worried that once those astra soldiers enter the transmutation array, these things will cause trouble.

But they're also in the core area of the army.

So even if I want to get rid of them, it would be quite troublesome.

It could also alert the enemy.

" Yu did not hide this from the two girls and pointed at the alchemical puppets on the screen that looked like they were wearing armor to explain.

Can we have a shadow clone get rid of them? Maria asked after looking at the alchemical puppets in the central area of the army and thinking for a moment, it probably won't work.

Look, those alchemical puppets are surrounded by people.

If the shadow clone takes action, it would be equivalent to telling the enemy that we have been monitoring them.

This would make the enemy even more vigilant, and they might even abandon the idea of attacking.

After all, if the shadow clone can silently cover those alchemical puppets, then assassinating their higher-ups would be simple, right? If the enemy had such thoughts, they would most likely abandon this attack.

So, I need to deal with these alchemical puppets without alarming those guys.

Upon hearing this, Yei shook her head and explained, "If it were that easy, I would have already let the shadow clone take action.

But it won't do.

I can't let those high-ranking members of the Amstrus army feel afraid.

I need this army to provide philosophers stones for my territory.

I don't want to waste such a good pile of materials.

How about I have someone distract the enemy and then create some chaos within the astrous army.

That way, master, you can let the shadow clone take action and it won't seem abrupt.

Plus, it can eliminate those alchemical puppets.

Marius suggested after thinking since the master doesn't want to be too conspicuous they could put on a show as long as they make the Astra soldiers think they are not that strong won't the enemy just happily follow them into the trap a bait is fine but be careful after all since such a large army is mobilized the number of alchemists is obviously considerable so don't trip in the gutter after hearing this Yu simulated Maria's plan in her mind and found it feasible so she did not refuse She also gave the other party some instructions.

Although the strength of those alchemists is certainly not as strong as Maria, who is an extraordinary level powerhouse.

But alchemy does not only depend on strength.

So if they really get ambushed, it would still be dangerous.

Don't worry, I already know some alchemy and know how to handle it, Marius said, stepping forward to give you a kiss on the cheek.

She really appreciated her master's concern.

However, Maria was also quite confident in her own strength.

Seeing Maria's confident demeanor, Yiu did not continue to ramble, but smiled and nodded.

After seeing that Yu had nothing more to say, Maria stood up from the sofa, waved at Yu, and walked straight out of the Lord's Hall.

Chapter 258.

The plan succeeds.

Released the sea.

In a vast desert, a welle equipped army wearing blue uniforms.

They were following behind a series of heavily armored vehicles.

Stepping in the sand, one step deep, one step shallow, looking at the red hot sun above.

Some soldiers were already sweating profusely.

This won't do.

We have been walking for 2 days and still haven't found the city you mentioned.

If this continues, the soldiers won't hold out.

Lisa Hawkeye, sitting in an armored vehicle, looked through the window at the soldiers following behind the armored vehicle.

Their listless appearance made her frown and say.

Soon, when Al and I walked for almost 3 days, we found that city, and at our current speed, it should be faster than before.

Upon hearing Lisa Hawkeye's words, Edward Elrich raised his eyebrows slightly and looked ahead, saying, "Previously, they had discovered the existence of the shadow domain from a towering sand dune.

So, as long as they reach that dune, they will find their target.

Then let us continue.

Anyway, with the presence of the alchemists, the soldiers don't have to worry about water sources.

A middle-aged man with a bald head, dark skin, and two upward curving mustaches also spoke up.

If he were here, he would definitely recognize that this is Master Grand, one of Kim Bradley's right-hand men.

In the original work, this character completely integrates combat into alchemy, capable of creating a multi-barreled cannon that covers the whole body for attack.

He is essentially an unyielding combat machine.

So for him, soldiers are of no concern at all.

As long as he doesn't die, that's enough.

Moreover, with so many alchemists around, they can completely ensure the soldiers access to water in this desert.

Hearing Master Grand's words, the others in the vehicle looked at him with varying expressions.

Some gazes were extremely calm, as if they hadn't heard what he said at all.

Others were filled with exasperated anger, and some even showed faint disdain.

In short, none of the people in the vehicle liked Master Gran at all.

Boom! Just as a few people were talking, suddenly a loud explosion startled everyone inside the armored vehicle.

What happened? Roy Mustang, sitting in the driver's seat, immediately looked out the window.

At the same time, he pulled out a large military phone and dialed, "Commander, we are under attack.

" Boom, boom, boom.

Soon, reports came from the other end of the phone, but before the other party could finish speaking, a series of explosions continued to erupt.

This left everyone in the vehicle stunned.

I'm going take a look.

Edward Elrich stood up without hesitation and walked towards the car door as he spoke.

Wait, let Kimley go.

You stay.

But before Edward Elrich could open the door, Roy Mustangs voice came from behind.

In Mustang's view, in a place like the desert, the one most suited to act was obviously Zul Kimbley, not Edward Elrich.

Just by looking at Edward Elrich's previous report, it was clear if he encountered another accident.

They would truly lose the direction of that hidden city in the desert.

Why? I could fight, too.

However, Edward Elrich clearly did not understand Roy Mustang's intentions and became displeased upon hearing that he was not allowed to go follow orders.

Roy Mustang did not explain it all, directly using his rank to pressure him.

Hearing this, Edward Elrich could only suppress his displeasure.

There was nothing he could do.

After all, rank has its privileges, and this guy was not just one rank above him.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

However, at that moment, a series of explosions suddenly left everyone in the vehicle dazed.

Even the armored vehicle they were in shook violently from the explosions, tightening everyone's hearts.
