Chapter 624: The Land Refining Array
"Chen Anxia."
Roy and Hughes said almost in unison, and at the same time, their faces were full of solemnity, and Lisa had quietly put her hand on the place where the gun was pinned to her waist, always vigilant.
Seeing this, Chen Anxia smiled slightly, looked at Roy and Hughes and said, "This should be the first time we have officially met, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"What do you mean by that, we've already met before?" Hughes couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly when he heard this.
"The conversation on the roof that day, Lieutenant Colonel Hughes, you probably haven't forgotten it." Chen Anxia answered directly.
Hughes's face froze when he heard this, and he unconsciously said in an accentuated tone, "That mysterious alchemist that day, it was really you, what is your purpose?" ”
Chen Anxia shook his head lightly and said, "There are some things that can't be said too early, if they are detected by the enemy, it is not good to prepare in advance, you know, we only have one chance." ”
"With your strength? Need to be so cautious? Roy frowned slightly.
"The strength of the enemy is beyond your imagination." Chen Anxia said, his tone unconsciously solemn.
As he spoke, he saw Chen Anxia looking at Edward, Alphonse, Roy, Hughes and Lisa and continued, "It seems that you should all know about the Philosopher's Stone, and Isaac only knew about this matter and the truth about the war in Ishvar before he rebelled. ”
The brothers, Edward and Alphonse, did not react to Anxia's words, as they had not participated in the Ishvar War.
However, Roy, Hughes, and Lisa were different, because they had personally participated in this war, and their hands were stained with the blood of many innocent Ishbals, so they couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, "The truth about the Ishvar War!?" ”
"Yes, this Philosopher's Stone is the truth of the Ishvar War, and it is also the beginning of the Ishvar War." Chen Anxia said directly.
Roy, Hughes and Lisa's faces became very ugly when they heard this, they couldn't have imagined that the truth behind the battle they participated in would be this, so what was the meaning of their participation in this battle?
Although the two brothers, Edward and Alphonse, did not know the details of the Ishvar War, they still heard about the Ishvar War, and Winley's parents were even conscripted as military doctors because of the war, and they have not returned since.
Now, after hearing Chen Anxia's words, the two brothers, Edward and Alphonse, also seemed to notice something, their hands clenched unconsciously, and their faces gradually showed anger.
"However, the war of Ishvar is only a tip of the truth behind this, you have read that research materials, you should know that it is blood that is indispensable for activating the refining of the Philosopher's Stone into an array." Seeing this, Chen Anxia continued to speak.
"Ah, what's going on?" Roy replied with some puzzlement.
Not only Roy, but also Hughes, Lisa, Edward and Alphonse, the two brothers also looked at Chen Anxia with some puzzlement, as if they didn't understand why Chen Anxia said this.
Chen Anxia didn't talk nonsense, pretended to reach out and put it in his pocket, directly embodied it and took out a map of the country of Amistolis.
Then, in the incomprehensible eyes of everyone, Chen Anxia directly took out a pen and began to draw on the map as he spoke.
"In July 1558, the Incident of Rivia."
"In October 1661, Cameron was in civil strife."
"The Sopmann Affair of February 1799."
"March 1811, Wesley Incident."
"The First Battle of the Southern Frontier in October 1835."
"The Second Southern Frontier War, which broke out in May 1911 in southern Fortesset."
.....
"And then there's the Ishvar War, which ties it all together, and you see what it is."
Chen Anxia stepped out of the way as he spoke, so that others could see more clearly.
Roy, Hughes, Lisa, Edward, and Alphonse looked curiously at the map that Chen Anxia had transformed, and everyone's faces changed dramatically.
"It's... This is the Philosopher's Stone Formation!! Edward exclaimed in disbelief.
"How can this be, who the hell is planning all this!!" Roy slammed his fist against the wall beside him, full of anger.
"In 1558, doesn't that mean that this event has been planned since the founding of the kingdom of Amestos?" Hughes also said with a face full of disbelief.
"Could it be that the reason why this kingdom of Amestories was founded in the first place was only for the plan of this Philosopher's Stone, and that all of us were just kept in captivity like livestock?" Lisa only felt goosebumps rise all over her body, and shuddered.
"Wait, if it's really been planning this from the time of the founding of the country, doesn't that mean that the person behind the scenes has lived for nearly 200 years? How is this possible? Alphonse seemed to think of the key point, and couldn't help but speak.
"Why is it impossible, what you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Chen Anxia asked rhetorically.
"But—" Alphonse was about to say something.
However, before Alphonse could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Edward on the side, only to see Edward open his mouth and say, "Anxia is right, if it is the power of the Philosopher's Stone, then it is not a problem to live for a few hundred years." ”
"That's right, if the energy of the Philosopher's Stone is not exhausted, then immortality is not impossible." Chen Anxia nodded in response.
"Then could it be that the purpose of the person behind it is to live forever?" Roy couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
"No, the Philosopher's Stone that it refined from hundreds of thousands of living people in the entire Cosselkolls was enough for him to live for thousands of years." Chen Anxia shook his head lightly when he heard this.
Roy, Hughes, Lisa, Edward, and Alphonse suddenly shook their hearts when they heard this, and their faces were full of incredulity.
Hughes's pupils shrank sharply, and he shook violently, muttering softly, "It turns out that Kosselcols actually perished like this, and the Philosopher's Stone was refined into an array, no wonder it was able to make the once prosperous country perish overnight!" ”
It's not just Hughes, it's everyone else who thinks similarly.
At the same time, a strong sense of crisis invaded their souls at all times, because this was not the first time it had happened, and they had no doubt that when this refining array was completed, the black hand behind the scenes would activate this land refining array.
And at that time, their relatives, lovers, and friends will all die painfully.
Edward was the first to think of Alphonse and Winley, and Alphonse was the first to think of Edward and Winley.
Hughes thought of his wife and daughter, Gracia and Alicia, and Roy and Lisa thought of each other first.
Not allowed, absolutely not, how can this kind of thing happen!!
In this, the first to suppress his emotions and react was Roy, who saw Roy take a deep breath, look at Chen Anxia and ask, "What do you want?" You're from a new country, so it stands to reason that the affairs of Amestories should have nothing to do with you, right? ”
"What I want is very simple, it's faith." Chen Anxia said calmly when he heard this.
"Faith?" Roy, Hughes, and Lisa were slightly stunned when they heard this, and they were a little puzzled.
Edward and Alphonse seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but say, "By the way, Anxia, he is still the pope of the God of Truth. ”
"The Cult of Truth?" Roy and the others were stunned when they heard this.
Seeing this, Chen Anxia said very calmly, "That's right, I am the agent of the God of Truth in the world, and what I want is to spread faith for the God of Truth." ”
"Therefore, after I have saved the kingdom of Amistores, I need the help of the state to support my faith in the God of Truth."
Roy, Hughes, and Lisa couldn't help but show a thoughtful look on their faces when they heard this, they wouldn't fully believe Chen Anxia's words, because faith was too illusory, and they didn't believe that Chen Anxia would take risks for the so-called faith.
Behind this, Chen Anxia should have a bigger intention, but for now, the alliance between the two sides is a win-win approach, because now both sides have common enemies.
Thinking about it, Roy said, "If what you said is true, and you really saved the kingdom of Amestolis, then I can help you to complete this matter, of course, the premise is that this Truth God Cult is not a cult." ”
"Of course." Chen Anxia nodded lightly when she heard this.
Roy looked at the map in front of him and said, "According to what you said now, there are only two places left in this map that have not yet had major bloodsheds." ”
"Then can we prepare in these two places in advance, as long as the bloodshed is prevented, then this land refining array will definitely not be completed."
After Roy finished speaking, before Chen Anxia could speak, Hughes directly retorted, "This method is only a symptom but not a cure, and if the military department gives an order, we can't stop it at all." ”
"How about finding a way to secretly blow up the outermost underground tunnel that acts as a circle, if the underground tunnel is blown up and can't form a completed circle, then the land refining array shouldn't be able to start." Lisa suggested.
"No, even if it succeeds in doing this, it will only alarm the people behind the scenes, and if it does it to us, none of us can escape." Chen Anxia shook his head and replied.
As he spoke, he saw Chen Anxia looking at the people around him, "Moreover, do you think that mastermind behind the scenes will be defenseless?" Rushing into the underground tunnel is a dead end. ”
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what the hell should I do?" Edward thumped his hand against the wall with some irritation.
"You should have the solution, right?" Hughes couldn't help but look at Chen Anxia at this time.
Seeing this, Chen Anxia nodded directly, and said in a condensed voice, "I do have a solution, that is... The stone of the anti-sage is refined. ”
"The Stone of the Reverse Sage is refined!?"
In the next time, Chen Anxia was talking about part of the plan, while Roy and the others were listening silently, and time passed minute by minute.
And this unknown conversation between Chen Anxia and Roy and others is also the beginning of an all-out offensive.
