Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

"!?"

Everyone in the room stared at Isaac in astonishment, thinking they had misheard.

"You heard me right, you shot at me. If I die, it's on me."

Isaac laughed, though his laugh seemed a little crazy to them.

"Hey! Are you crazy?" Wuming shouted at Isaac.

"Stop talking nonsense and shoot, if you can call this ridiculous thing you have a gun," Isaac mocked. "You, the one with the blue spiky hair, I'm talking about you, shoot."

The blue-haired young man looked at Mima Amaterasu. Mima nodded to him.

"Fine, you're asking for it, I'll grant your wish!" The blue-haired spiky man aimed his gun at Isaac.

Pull the trigger, and the instrument panel on the gun rotates.

boom!

With a soft click, the bullet left the barrel.

However, Isaac instantly raised his right hand and tucked a round bullet between his fingers.

Everyone was speechless at Isaac's actions, as they were beyond their comprehension.

Isaac played with the bullet in his hand for a while and said, "The impact and penetration are both subpar, and there's even a delay when it's fired. You're telling me this toy is a weapon?"

After saying that, he flicked the bullet in his hand with his finger, and it flew past the blue-haired hedgehog's cheek at an extremely fast speed and went straight into the wall.

A bloodstain was left on the face of the spiky-haired man.

Mima Amagi quickly recovered from her shock and said, "To be honest, we did suffer repeated setbacks in our fight against the Kabane because of our weapons."

As he said this, his mind was still on Isaac's move.

Is this the strength of the military in Amestris? It's terrifying.

“Don’t take these kinds of toys out again,” Isaac said, standing up. “Come with me.”

"Where to?" Amatori Mima asked.

“Go to the training ground behind the headquarters,” Isaac said.

"Let me show you what real weapons are."

Chapter 155: The Deception Begins

Isaac led a few people to the training ground.

The training ground was very spacious, with a large number of weapons placed in the center.

These people from the Sun had never seen such weapons before, and they all looked on with curiosity.

“Then I won’t waste any more time. Let me introduce these weapons to you.” Isaac said, taking out a small pistol from inside. “First, I’ll introduce this RGp08 to you.”

Isaac held the pistol and looked at a steel plate a hundred meters away, activating his mechanical eye as he did so. After all, this was related to whether the weapon could be sold; it wouldn't be good if it failed.

Release the safety and pull the trigger.

boom!

As the ammunition left the barrel, a hole was pierced through a steel plate in the distance.

"The semi-automatic pistol developed in our country has a maximum range of 800 meters, an 8-round magazine, and each shot has great penetrating power. The steel plate over there is the best example."

As Isaac spoke, he noticed there was no sound around him. He turned around and saw that the group of people were staring in disbelief at the perforated steel plate.

That's nearly a hundred meters away! To be able to penetrate a steel plate with a single shot from that distance is incredible. Keep in mind that their guns can only dent a steel plate at close range.

“Don’t be surprised, the plate isn’t thick, it’s basic operation,” Isaac said.

Actually, this kind of pistol had been abandoned in Amestris twenty years ago; only some local thugs would use it to scare people.

Mima Tenzin took the pistol from Isaac and tossed it in his hand.

It is very light, extremely portable compared to my heavy weapons, and easy to carry around.

In terms of destructive power, it was more than enough to kill the Kabane.

However, he was unaware that the pistol he considered a marvel had already been largely discontinued in Amestris due to its obsolescence.

"Don't be surprised yet, there's something even better to come." Isaac, with the shrewdness of a businessman, took another long gun from the weapon rack.

"The Type 98AZ carbine has a range of 2000 meters and is extremely powerful, capable of inflicting significant damage even on distant enemies."

As Isaac spoke, he clapped his hands, and a box was brought out. A person walked out of it, trembling, but upon closer inspection, it was not a person. Its body was grayish-white with red stripes, and its heart was glowing red.

"Kabane!?"

Everyone around immediately went on high alert. Why would there be Kabane in this country?

“Don’t be nervous. I extracted the virus from the blood of Mima Tennori yesterday and injected it into a corpse in the lab,” Isaac said. “Now watch closely.”

The Kabane were very far away, a kilometer away, and Isaac aimed and pulled the trigger.

boom!

A deafening gunshot rang out, and Kabane's heart exploded instantly in the distance, causing him to collapse to the ground.

"So strong!"

"This weapon is amazing!"

They were full of praise for the gun in Isaac's hand, including Mima Tennori.

This weapon can kill enemies at extremely long distances, meaning you can snipe enemies from a safe place.

Isaac chuckled inwardly as he looked at their eyes.

Although this gun is still in service, Amestoris produced a replacement more than a decade ago, and this gun now rarely appears in the military.

"Now that this weapon demonstration is finished, let me show you the others." Isaac put the gun back on the shelf and then brought out a huge weapon.

"What is this?" Mima asked, looking at the weapon Isaac had brought out.

“Machine guns, very powerful weapons,” Isaac said, then shouted into the distance, “Send out five more.”

The iron box was opened, and five Kabane were released.

Seeing that there were so many people on Isaac's side, the five Kabane roared and charged over.

Meanwhile, Isaac had already set up the machine gun.

Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap! !!!

The machine guns started spinning, and ammunition poured out of the muzzle, tearing all the charging Kabane into pieces.

"..."

They've become numb.

This weapon is simply beyond their common sense.

"A rotary cannon, firing 800 rounds per minute. You've seen its destructive power. With this, I believe your country's Kabane should be no threat."

After listening to Isaac's explanation, they remained silent, completely absorbed in what had just happened.

It shattered the Kabane, whose bodies were impervious to blades and bullets, into pieces in an instant. If that were to hit a human...

They have developed a fear of the country's technology.

Of course, this is also outdated. The current rate of fire of the Amestris machine gun is 2000 rounds per minute, and the previous one can only gather dust in the warehouse.

"Brigadier General, are there any other weapons?" Mima asked Isaac.

He instinctively felt that this couldn't be the whole story.

"Of course there is more, which is something I want to introduce to you today."

Isaac pulled out something that looked like a tube from behind.

“This is…” Mima asked.

This pipe doesn't look very strong.

Isaac ignored him, opened the tube, placed it on the ground using the support above, adjusted the angle, and then put the shell inside.

After doing all that, Isaac shouted into the distance, "Release the rest."

After he finished speaking, the iron box was opened.

A large group of Kabane suddenly emerged from inside, numbering about several dozen.

These Kabane surged toward Isaac like a tide.

However, Isaac remained very calm.

"This is the last thing I'll introduce to you—the mortar."

Boom!

With a bang, a shell was fired from the mortar and landed in the Kabane group in a parabolic trajectory.

boom!!

A massive explosion rang out, and the entire group of Kabane was reduced to fragments. The fragments remained burning even after they hit the ground.

At this moment, everyone in Japan understood why Isaac had called their weapons toys.

"That's about all I need to tell you. So, if you decide to buy, I can provide you with ammunition support as needed," Isaac said.

“Thank you very much,” Mima said. “Our country is unable to mine good saltpeter, so we can only use this kind of steam-powered weapon. If you can provide us with weaponry support, that would be great.”

Japan once also had gunpowder weapons, the kind of flintlock muskets that nobody uses anymore. They weren't as convenient to operate as their current steam guns.

"No problem, no problem. Cash on delivery. This is Amestoris's best product."

That was truly outstanding for that era.

“Then thank you in advance, Brigadier General,” Mima said. “We need to go back and discuss the quantity of weapons to order, and we will give you an answer tomorrow.”

“No problem.” Isaac then revealed a fox-like smile, just like Guraman’s.

Scrap metal sales task completed~

Chapter 156: She Infiltrated

Just as everyone was about to return, a Kabane engulfed in flames suddenly emerged from the area that had been hit by mortar fire.
