Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

"Leave no one alive!"

Their eyes were now bloodshot.

Gilbert and Claudia watched from behind as Isaac and the roaring soldiers stood on the platform.

"That's terrifying," Claudia said, her heart pounding.

“Hmm.” Gilbert nodded.

They all saw it; even the logistics soldiers who didn't go to the front lines had a bloodthirsty glint in their eyes.

Isaac has already unleashed the ferocity of the soldiers.

Chapter 50: You are now a real person.

Mobilization before the battle begins is especially important, as it relates to morale.

The soldiers' morale had reached its peak; every soldier's face was filled with fierce fighting spirit, and now they only wanted to rush forward and fight the enemy.

It must be said that Isaac's speech was quite successful.

After the speech, he naturally stepped down from the stage.

"A brilliant speech, Your Excellency Isaac."

Several army group commanders approached Isaac and flattered him.

"It's nothing, just let them know what they're supposed to do." Isaac waved his hand. "I'll personally lead the army group used for the assault."

"What?" Several officers looked at Isaac in surprise.

They asked uncertainly, "Are you planning to go to the battlefield yourself?"

"Otherwise what? The commander must take the lead and go to the front line so that he can give the most correct instructions based on the situation on the ground."

After saying that, Isaac looked at the group suspiciously and asked, "You guys weren't in command while the soldiers were charging to the front lines, were you?"

“Uh…yes, we all delegate tasks to our subordinates, and then we give orders from the command center using the radio,” several officers replied.

"..."

This country is beyond saving.

It's perfectly normal for an army group commander to stay in the command center; after all, the person directing operations absolutely cannot die. While there are army group commanders who dare to lead from the front, they are extremely rare.

Success in battle brings fame and fortune, but failure and loss of life mean that no one will praise your achievements after death, and you may even be used as a negative example in military textbooks.

After all, with the commander dead, the battle was essentially over.

Isaac didn't linger and went to the simple wooden hut he had built using alchemy.

At times like these, Isaac would marvel at the convenience of alchemy.

Before the attack, prepare several poison gas bombs and high-concentration explosives. With sufficient firepower, time will allow us to create a large breach in the enemy's defenses.

This battle should be over soon.

"We must end this battle quickly; Violet isn't exactly reliable either."

Before he arrived, Isaac gave Violet plenty of money and told her to wait for him in Leiden City.

Even so, leaving Violet, a thirteen-year-old girl, alone in Layton wasn't entirely reassuring. Although she was very strong in combat.

After spending a few days together, Isaac had a fairly good understanding of Violet's situation.

Let's quickly take Mazig and head back home.

Just as Isaac was about to enter the cabin, he suddenly sensed a familiar voice coming from behind the tree.

"Who's there! Come out now!" Isaac shouted in that direction.

"..."

A blonde little girl came out.

Violet?

"..."

"How did you get here?!"

Isaac was astonished to see Violet standing in front of him.

Although I could sense Violet's unique aura at the door after gaining the ability to sense aura, I was still quite startled when I saw it now.

"Shouldn't you be in Leiden right now?"

"...I followed them secretly."

"...Why didn't I notice you when I came?" Isaac asked. He clearly had the ability to sense aura, but he hadn't sensed Violet's presence at all on the way here.

"I always stayed at the very back of the line."

No wonder Isaac couldn't detect it; he was at the front of the column during the march and couldn't perceive the fluctuations coming from the rear.

But Violet was still a little girl, and even if she infiltrated the army, her height would still be noticed. So she came up with a good idea—to hide directly in a transport vehicle belonging to the logistics unit.

"Why did you come along? Didn't I tell you not to come to the battlefield?"

“I want to help Mr. Isaac!” Violet said eagerly.

She was actually very worried when she learned that Isaac was going to the battlefield. She had hoped to go with him, but Isaac refused.

He wanted Violet to stay in Leiden City and continue Barnet's training there.

Isaac didn't say how many days the war would take, he just told her to go away for a few days, but Violet was far from at peace.

If Mr. Isaac is injured.

If Mr. Isaac doesn't return for several days.

in case……

……

If Mr. Isaac dies on the battlefield...

Thinking of this, Violet's worries completely erupted, but at the same time she remembered that Isaac had ordered her to stay in Leiden City.

If I disobey Mr. Isaac's orders, will he hate me, or even abandon me...?

Violet is in a dilemma.

Finally, she decided to secretly follow them and protect Isaac on the battlefield.

Until it was just discovered.

Violet is now looking at Isaac nervously, like a child who has made a mistake.

With a sigh, Isaac looked at Violet: "You didn't listen to me."

Violet's body trembled.

I made a mistake.

I can accept it if Isaac just insults or even hits himself.

But what if Mr. Isaac doesn't want him anymore?

Thinking of this, Violet's face became extremely tense.

“Well done!” Isaac suddenly smiled.

"?"

Violet couldn't understand Isaac's words at first and thought she had misheard.

"Surprised? Indeed, if those army group commanders had disobeyed my orders, they would probably be dead in the wilderness by now."

“But you are different. My requirement for them is to obey my orders and win the war, while my requirement for you is to have your own thoughts.”

As Isaac said this, he patted Violet's small shoulder.

Originally, it wasn't an order to keep Violet in Leiden City, but in their interactions, Violet seemed to treat every word Isaac said as an order. Isaac felt this wasn't a good thing, and he thought it would take a long time for Violet to change this habit.

However, in retrospect, those worries were unnecessary.

"You are no longer a puppet who only obeys orders all day long, but a real person."

As he spoke, Isaac laughed.

Unlike the menacing smile he wore during his speeches, Isaac now smiles happily, a genuine smile from the heart.

Chapter 51: The Offensive Begins

Now that Violet is already here, there's no need to send her back at this crucial moment.

“You stayed in the cabin while I went to the front lines.” After thinking for a moment, he added, “That was an order.”

"Yes."

Violet was now very happy; her actions had not only not angered Isaac, but had instead earned her praise.

However, after a pause, he still asked hesitantly, "When can I accompany Mr. Isaac to the battlefield?"

Isaac glanced at Violet and said, "I'll allow you to fight alongside me when that old man Barnet says you're alright. For now, stay obediently in the rear."

She was brought to Brix Fortress at the age of seven and did not begin her military career until she was twelve. Even if Violet is very talented, she would still need to train for one to two years.

By then, Isaac was confident he could end all the wars on this continent.

It wasn't that he didn't want Violet to go to the battlefield, but he didn't want her to go to the battlefield at such a young age.

Without saying anything else, let's get down to business.

Isaac walked over and began drawing a transmutation circle on the ground with chalk.

In the early stages of this campaign, the goal was to have sufficient firepower coverage and create as large a gap as possible in the enemy's defensive line.

After drawing the transmutation circle, place the red Philosopher's Stone in the center of the circle and clap your hands together.

呲——

The entire cabin was illuminated by a dazzling red electric light.

Several cannonballs, each the size of an arm, appeared in front of Isaac.

"We still have some time left, so let's make a few more." With that, he clapped his hands together again at the transmutation circle.
