Tens of thousands of troops gathered in front of the fortress, and the border army in white winter clothing was not conspicuous in the vast snow.
They all knew that war was coming, but they were not afraid. War occurred frequently at the border, so it was just a routine affair for them.
The massive army gathered with great momentum, and the Elric brothers stood in the fortress, somewhat dazed, witnessing the scene before them.
"What's going on? Is there an invading enemy army?"
Although Edward was a State Alchemist, he didn't understand the concept of war.
"No, brother, these troops seem to be moving inland."
"Moving inland? Could it be..."
Edward thought of a terrifying possibility: Vice Admiral Olivier Mira Armstrong was planning a rebellion.
"What does she want to do? No, we can't allow this to happen."
Just as Edward was about to turn and rush out of the fortress, a figure blocked his path.
"Little dwarf, mind your own business."
