Chapter Forty-Three: Teamwork
The five of them came to a building not far from the 12-meter giant.
"What huge teeth!"
Looking at the giant's bloody mouth, Neil took a deep breath and held back the fear in his heart, thinking of his father who died in the battle to recapture the wall of Maria four years ago.
When his father looked at the giant with a rudimentary weapon, he must have been desperate, right?
Gripping the hilt of the knife, Neil gradually calmed down.
"It's such a big guy, I guess one slap can kill us." Rob's hand holding the utility knife trembled slightly.
Khrista's body trembled, but she didn't flinch.
Ymir's face was expressionless, she had seen a lot of giants, she couldn't remember how she turned back into a human, but she had seen all kinds of giants before blending into the wall, and she had also turned into a giant with jaws and killed some.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Wren began to command: "Neil, Hrista attracts the giant's attention through the sound of movement in front of the giant, pay attention to dodging the giant's hand."
Rob responded by slashing at the tendons and joints of the giant's arm from the side if someone was caught, and Ymir went around and attacked the back of the giant's neck at the moment when the giant grabbed the person in front, preferably killing with one blow. ”
"Understood!"
No one disagreed, this was a tactic used by recruits and garrisons, and if the soldiers were strong and experienced enough in the future, they could be combined by three or two.
For example, one person attracts the attention of the giant, and the other person is responsible for killing.
Neil and Hrista flew to the roof in front of the giant with a three-dimensional maneuver and rushed at the giant with a blade in their hands.
"Here! Look here! ”
Ordinary Unsullied Giants have limited intelligence and cannot understand human speech, but their voices can also attract the attention of giants.
Sure enough, the 12-meter-tall yellow-haired giant looked at the two of them and reached out to grab them!
"Whoosh! Sou! ”
Nervous, Neil and Hrista quickly crossed with a three-dimensional maneuvering device, avoiding the grasp and flying to the left and right.
For a moment, the giant, who didn't know who to catch, was stunned. This is why it is necessary for two recruits or ordinary soldiers to attract the attention of the giant, because if there is one person, the giant will chase after him.
It is much more dangerous for one person to be a decoy than for two people to be together, and if two people are not unlucky, at least one person can survive.
"Huh~!"
At the moment when the giant grabbed the two of them, Yumir flew behind the giant with a three-dimensional mobile device and raised his knife to slash at the back of the giant's neck!
Blood splattered, and the giant fell to the ground with a pop and smoked.
At this time, Rob on the giant's side relaxed, his task is actually not easy, if Neil and Hrista are caught, he will be responsible for cutting off the giant's arm to save people or interfere with the giant, and attract the giant's attention again!
If no one is caught, and Ymir fails to kill, Rob will need to attack the back of the giant's neck a second time.
This kind of cooperation method is actually quite perfect, and it has been proposed a long time ago, but except for the survey corps, there are not many places where it is actually used, because five years ago, the giants had not attacked for more than a hundred years.
However, the situation on the battlefield is complex and changeable, you may surround one giant and be attacked by another giant, you may encounter strange creatures that behave strangely, or you may run out of gas or malfunction devices.
Therefore, even if it is a survey corps, every time it fights with giants, many people will be killed and injured, after all, humans are still too weak compared to giants.
Even a humanoid monster like Wren can kill a giant of 3~4 meters with a knife at most without a three-dimensional maneuver.
After dealing with this giant, Wren found that 4 more giants appeared not far away, and he realized that the attack squad (a group of people, not a small combat squad of 5~6 people) of the advance guard department of the garrison corps had been wiped out or collapsed.
Their group of training soldiers is under the management of the support squad of the Central Defense Department.
"Where's the support class?"
Wren asked, in fact, they had heard the retreat bell just now, the people had already evacuated, and the veterans of the support squad stationed in the corps had already run away after hearing the bell.
In fact, if it weren't for the freight wagon of the Libus Chamber of Commerce blocking it, the people would have run out long ago, and the drill a year ago would not have been practiced in vain.
Mikasa, who was called to the guard class, put a knife against the neck of the owner of the Chamber of Commerce, Dimo Liebs Edward, and Dimo stopped talking and chose to take the carriage out of his heart.
Dimo: I'm not afraid, dead people can't speak!
The retreat is fast, and the last exercise in the Toloster district was not completely useless. The third master didn't know that her domineering aura leaked and successfully harvested a fan girl.
"The seniors have long since run away." Rob said.
Sure enough, it was a bunch of old fritters, and I couldn't see the shadow in a blink of an eye.
"Now that you have enough gas, get back to the wall and go to the wall of Rossi to stand by." Wren said to the rest of the class.
"Big brother, what about you, won't you evacuate with us?" Neil asked, confused.
"There are a lot of people out of gas in the middle, and I'm going to take them to the supply depot." Wren knew that not everyone was as calm as Class 7, and they happened to be not far from the wall.
There were many people who fled when they saw the giant, and after the support squad ran away, many people wandered around like headless flies, and there were also people who were originally defending in the middle of the city, and they were not strong enough to rush to the wall, and now there are many people trapped in the center of the city.
"You're looking for death, and you're running out of gas if you rush over. Why, do you want to play the savior? Ymir said unceremoniously.
Don't think it's ugly, she doesn't bother to pay attention to someone she doesn't know.
Seeing what they also wanted to say about Herlista, Wren decisively ordered: "Now, you retreat immediately, this is an order!" ”
He didn't explain much, and now Alan was estimated to have been swallowed by the giants, and he had to go over and see what was going on.
Wren had forgotten a little how Eren had become a giant before, and now that he was there, he remembered that Allen's class might have been finished.
After some arguing, the rest of the Rainban retreated to the wall.
"Huh!"
Wren galloped across the rows of rooftops, slashing at the back of a 10-meter giant by the neck, sending blood and the giant to the ground.
Without looking back, he ran wildly all the way, the divine fighting qi in his body was running, and if the distance between the two roofs was not more than 10 meters, he jumped directly to save gas.
When moving at high speeds, it is often easier to kill the giants that appear on their sides, of course, the premise is that the giants do not notice the small prey that is running.
But this kind of speed is also very dangerous, not only does the average person deplete gas quickly, but it is also easy to lose balance or hit the wall, and the most dangerous thing is to be attacked by a giant in the gap between the two houses, which is how Allen's leg was bitten off in the original book.
Wren was scurrying all the way and suddenly spotted Amin, who was standing next to a female trainer with a bewildered expression.
The female trainer was performing CPR on a soldier lying on the ground.
"Amin, what's wrong with you?" Wren asked the dejected Amin.
Amin's eyes were glazed: "It's all dead, Thomas, Mina, they're all dead, Franz is also dead, it's a hell of ......" Amin hasn't recovered from the blow of Allen's class being wiped out and his good friend Allen being eaten by giants.
His hands trembled slightly, Wren took a deep breath, and as soon as he came, he got the news of the death of several friends, their class was far away from Allen's class, and he was late.
Walking to the side of Hannah, who was still giving artificial respiration to Franz, who was already cool, Hannah and Franz were a "model couple" in this training class, and in fact they had a very good relationship.
Wren grabbed Hannah's clothes at the back of her neck and lifted her up.
"Franz is dead and hopeless." Wren didn't comfort Hannah, but directly stated the cold truth.
Hannah burst into tears: "No, I can still save ......"
Wren yelled, "He's dead!" He died to save you, right?! If you die here, Franz's death is meaningless, you understand?
If you really love him, retreat with us now! ”
Hannah lowered her head, unable to read her expression clearly, "I see." ”
She picked up Franz's body and placed it in a corner of the eaves, took a deep look, and made a note of the place.
"Amin, keep up!" Wren shouted to Amin.
Amin's body trembled, and finally reacted.
Wren took Hannah and Amin to meet the people trapped in the middle of the city, and they could already be seen from here, about 30 of them.
