Chapter 25: The Secret of the World.(1)
Standing on the tower of the beacon flame and candles, as far as the eye can see, the corpses everywhere are like hell on earth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The wind is blowing, but it can't blow away the blood. The rain is washing, but it can't wash away the red color of the whole city.
Char, covered in blood, gasped for breath.
Underneath him were the corpses of several xenomorphs.
Among them, there is also a very remarkable giant lying at Char's feet.
The black-haired giant was clearly different from the other giants, and in the battle just now, this giant was the only one that did not attack Char, but continued to help Char attack other giants.
This unusual move surprised everyone, but it didn't delay Char's intention to cut it under the knife. And it turned out that Char did indeed cut off the head of this particular alien.
It's just that......
“?!”
The corpse of the giant began to vaporize, which is a process that every giant goes through after death. When they die, the corpse dissolves, but not in the slow way of ablation, but in a way that resembles a high-temperature vapor, very completely.
When the steam was gone, Char's eyes widened in surprise.
A person crawled out from behind the giant's neck, and that person turned out to be Alan, who had already been confirmed by Armin to have been eaten by the giant!
“…… Could it be that you are also ...... Alan?"
Char's eyes widened in surprise. Mikasa had already rushed out by this time, trotting all the way under the roof and rushing in the direction of Allen. Fortunately, at this time, the surrounding giants had already been killed by Char, so there was no danger.
Char looked at Mikasa, who was hugging Eren on the ground and crying bitterly, and he clenched the sword in his hand tightly. The killing intent in his eyes flickered, and it was a question of whether Allen still had his sanity at this time.
"Char."
Ani behind him suddenly walked over and grabbed Char's hand.
"There are already too many people dead."
Char was stunned, and looked at the two people underground with a somewhat tangled frown.
“…… Arnie. ”
In the end, Char let out a long sigh and put down his sword.
"Forget it, let's do it for now."
After ordering everyone to enter the church for supplies, Char himself reorganized himself a little. During this time, he and Ani have passed each other several times, but they have not communicated with each other. Char was convinced that his giant mystery had been discovered by Arnie, but not only did the other party have no intention of asking, but even acted as if nothing had happened.
Leaning against the wooden door in the basement, Char stood there with his hands folded over his chest. He quietly looked at the golden light in the crowd, his eyes full of puzzlement.
……
"Huh?"
Anino looked up with a feeling and met Char's eyes as she stood in the doorway.
In this small basement, there are more than thirty people busy going back and forth. The gaze between Ani and Char was not affected by the large number of people, and they looked into each other's eyes through the gap in the crowd, communicating silently. In the end, Char raised his hands as if admitting defeat and turned away.
Arnie withdrew his gaze and continued to organize his equipment with a flat expression. It's as if nothing happened.
After the supply was completed, everyone was ready to go, and under Char's temporary command, all the people who had finished the supply rushed out of the church. In the thirties, the white mist rose into the air and quickly flew to the city wall. And knowing that all the survivors are really relieved at this time, there is no need to worry about the attack of the giants here, and the security guarantee is not much higher than that on the ground.
The battle is over.
The outer wall fell, and hundreds of civilian casualties were inflicted, but the timely cover of the retreat of the gendarmerie corps was able to reduce the civilian casualties to a minimum. This is also thanks to Char's ability to kill twelve giants in the middle gate alone, as well as to stop the attack of the super giant giants, so that there is such a beautiful casualty figure.
However, when looking at the number of casualties in the legion, the report form looks a little embarrassing.
Of the 232 members of the gendarmes who took part in the battle, 132 were killed, 54 were missing, and the rest were wounded, of whom more than 12 were seriously wounded and may be disabled in the future.
Of course, if you include the members of the reserve corps who were temporarily dispatched, the total number of casualties in the corps will exceed 300, and this is only a preliminary estimate.
But it didn't end there, on the contrary, it was just beginning.
“…… White Potato Girl, have you ever seen Mikasa? ”
Connie scratched his head, he searched the crowd for a long time without seeing Mikasa. And disturbingly, even Amin seems to have disappeared with him.
The white potato woman shook her head, the last time she saw Mikasa was not long ago. Because it was so chaotic at the time, I only had time to see Mikasa rush towards the giant, and then I saw Mikasa hug Alan who crawled out of the giant's corpse and cried bitterly. As for what happened after that, she didn't know.
"I don't know what's going on?"
"It's not that I'm worried, it's just that I feel like something bad is going to happen. Moreover, it's not just Mikasa who has disappeared as well. ”
"Eh?!!"
The white potato woman had a vegetable-colored expression on her face.
After receiving Connie's affirmative reply, the sweet potato girl hurriedly rushed into the crowd to look for Char's figure. But as Connie said, almost everyone didn't see Char. Some even say that Char was never seen coming out of the church at all, and that Ani, who had been with him all along, didn't seem to come out either.
"Ah, it seems that it's not just a few of them, but also Mark, and Reiner doesn't seem to be in sight. Everyone seems to be busy. ”
An unknown passer-by A sighed.
"How so!"
The sweet potato girl and Connie shouted at the same time.
And at the same time, in the basement of the church.
Char didn't stay with Ani as outsiders had guessed, and Char was the only one in the dimly lit basement.
"Get out!"
A silver thread was thrown out in an instant, and the white light flashed. The load-bearing wall was split in half, and the ceiling suddenly collapsed in half.
"Long time no see, Draco. D. Char. ”
The man who emerged from the shadows of the ruined walls was a man wearing a green cloak with the wings of liberty on it. But don't think that this dangerous guy is a legionnaire, he doesn't actually belong to the legion combat sequence at all.
The man slowly stepped out of the shadows, and the dim orange light shone on his face, revealing a hideous scar that was extremely conspicuous.
The eyes of a wounded lone wolf had been staring at Char since the man appeared in this basement. Around his waist he wears a jade pendant carved with a flower of wings that only members of the royal family can wear. A pair of pure white wings spread out to both sides, and the budding flower core was protected by the wings in the center.
