Bite of the Ant

Briggs Fortress is able to defeat the Drachman military forces with ease, finally carving out the blood crest. Zampano brings Envy to Marcoh, where Marcoh reveals that it was their intention from the start to lure the homunculus out there, and Envy is easily hit and outsmarted by the multiple alkahestry traps set up by May. Out of anger, Envy transforms into his true form and begins to attack the group. After being captured by the homunculus, Marcoh destroys the philosopher's stone inside Envy, reducing him to his real form, a tiny, parasitic creature. Scar gives it to May and tells her to return to her country. Marcoh and Scar decide to go their own way, and Alphonse and the rest head for Liore. In Dublith, Bido, the last remaining chimera under Greed, sees two military officers searching for Izumi. Thinking that they could lead him to Greed, he hides underneath their car. Olivier is told about the fort's victory, and is then shown, by one of the superiors, the secret behind forbidding human transmutation. Meanwhile, when reaching Liore, Alphonse's group meets with Rosé as well as Hohenheim.
