Chapter Forty-Eight: Captain, I'll Protect You
The sun is shining, noon has arrived, and it is time for execution!
Two hours after the bell for the retreat rang, a street behind the Rossi Wall became a temporary garrison for the soldiers.
It's close to the fallen district of Tholost, just climb over the Wall of RosΓ©.
"Trainees, rest and reorganize, the battle is not over yet, and the next step is to defend the gate of Rossy's Wall!"
A garrison shouted to the trainees scattered across the street.
The morale of the training soldiers was low, and some of the dozens of people trapped in the middle of the city also retreated here after the supply depot replenished their gas, and joined the more than 100 training soldiers who had retreated in time or were close enough to the wall.
At this time, after a battle with the giants, only 193 of the 227 trainees who successfully graduated.
Many of the trainers didn't dare to move at all when they saw the giant, and at most they used a three-dimensional mobile device to attract the giant's attention and buy time for the people to evacuate to the Rose's Wall.
But even so, there were still 34 people who died, and most importantly, after facing the giants, many recruits had lost the courage to face the giants again, even many of the garrisons.
Marco, Reiner, Arnie, and a dozen of them, who had just stayed to watch the excitement, had also withdrawn to the temporary station an hour ago, and only Mikasa, Armin, Wren, and Allen, who had just come out of the back of the giant's neck, were nowhere to be found among the trainees.
Jean and Connie sat on either side of a wooden table, his brows furrowed, and Connie rested his hands on the table with a blank look in his eyes.
Hrista ran up to Jean and Connie and asked anxiously, "Jean, Connie, have you seen Wren?" He's supposed to join you! β
After knowing that Eren could turn into a giant, Connie, who was a little dazed, smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, Khrista, Wren is fine, and we have to thank him for taking us to get supplies before we can withdraw." β
"And where did he go?"
Thinking about the scene of Allen coming out of the back of the giant's neck, Jean was a little distracted, but he still reacted: "Don't worry, your squad leader was ordered to protect the commander of the garrison corps, Captain Chiz Wellman, and with the large troops of the garrison corps, there will be no problems." β
Christa breathed a sigh of relief, and Rob and Neil on the side also relaxed, never seeing Wren withdraw, afraid that he would die.
Ymir was calmer, looked at Jean and Connie, and then glanced at Reiner and Arnie: "What about Mikasa?" Didn't she pull out? β
Connie and Jean glanced at each other, and Jean stroked his forehead with his hand, and had a headache: "She's fine, it's just ...... We were ordered to keep it secret, don't ask, although I don't think it's any use in keeping it secret. β
Ymir pondered: "Looks like something strange has happened. β
Someone not far away couldn't stand it anymore.
"Let it go, let me die here! I don't want to be eaten by giants. β
With a frightened look, Daz was devastated and wanted to pull out his knife to commit suicide, and today he was scared stupid by the giant.
Marco stared at him, grabbed his hands, and stopped him: "Don't be impulsive, it's okay." β
Daz wasn't the only one to break down, but the others weren't so extreme as to want to kill themselves, but they didn't want to face giants anymore.
Sasha also lowered her head with a dejected face, although Wren had comforted her, but Wren couldn't eat it, obviously it was useless.
She gave in and begged the giant for mercy at the supply station, but Sasha couldn't accept her weakness!
"Woo~"
Sasha wept and stuffed a loaf of bread into her mouth, now desperately needing food to soothe her wounded heart.
In short, after the training soldiers came into contact with the giants for the first time, it is estimated that few of them dared to join the Survey Corps.
On the other side of the street, under the walls of Rossi.
In a clearing, a group of garrisons with knives or guns pointed at Alan, who was being held by Amin, who was still unconscious after burrowing out of the back of the giant's neck.
All the soldiers stationed in the garrison looked nervous, and many of them were trembling slightly with their hands holding their swords!
That unconscious guy in front of him can turn into a giant!
Mikasa held a glittering utility knife in both hands, standing in front of Eren and Armin and confronting a group of garrison soldiers.
As for Wren, he was standing beside Chiz Wellman, the captain of the garrison corps, acting as his bodyguard.
Mikasa glared at Ren, a "traitor", hatefully! She really wanted to go up and slash Wren now, and if this bastard didn't help, he actually ran to slap the commander of the garrison corps!
Captain Chiz stares at the unconscious Allen, and as soon as Allen makes any abnormal moves, he will order to bombard Allen, who can turn into a giant, with the cannon on the wall!
It's a bit complicated, and here's what happened, about an hour ago.
As soon as Eren was pulled out of the back of the giant's neck by Mikasa, the garrison of the giant who had been watching the giant with binoculars rushed over and surrounded him, transporting Eren from the Torloster district to the wall of Rossi by elevator.
Captain Chiz yelled at Wren and Reiner, "Get out of the way, he's not your companion, he's a giant!" All unrelated personnel were evacuated to the temporary station. β
Reiner, Arnie, Betthold, Jean and Connie could only withdraw first and were ordered to be silenced, while Armin Mikasa stayed in front of Alan.
With a "serious and serious" expression, Wren didn't take a step to leave, stared at Captain Chiz and said, "Captain Chiz, as you can see, this guy is dangerous, I think I have to stay and protect you." β
Chiz Wellman was puzzled: "You? Protect me? β
Lao Tzu has so many people, do you lack a guard?
At this time, an elite squad leader named Ian approached Captain Chiz and explained: "He is very powerful, according to the reports of those training soldiers who withdrew from the supply depot not long ago, he killed at least 8 giants this time, and all of them were killed alone!" β
Ian felt that this recruit was too powerful, a few hours ago, he asked Mikasa to go to the guard department to help evacuate the people, in his opinion, Mikasa is a powerful soldier with one enemy and one hundred, and there is one such recruit!
In fact, Wren killed 10 giants, 1 when he first saw a giant, 1 on the way to Marco, Connie, and let them meet, 6 on the way to the supply station, and 2 on the first floor of the supply station. It also includes a strange species.
Hearing the words "supply station", Chiz's expression was a little unnatural.
He glanced at Wren again, of course he knew how powerful it was to kill 8 giants at once, and few people in the Survey Corps could do it!
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that the guy who could turn into a giant was too dangerous, and it would be good to leave Wren to protect him, anyway, he is now Wren's commander, and Wren still dares to disobey military orders?
Nodding, Chiz said, "Okay, you can stay and act as my guard for the time being, don't worry, as long as you behave well, I won't treat you badly." β
In this way, Wren managed to stay, of course, not to protect the captain of the garrison who was almost engulfed by fear, he was just afraid that something would happen.
In the original book, it was Commander Pixis who arrived in time to save Allen, but with his interference, even if he didn't actually do anything to destroy the plot, but if Allen was blown up, what would it be a joke?
He doesn't have any wall-blocking skills, so what can he do to block the door that the supergiant kicks bad? Take the head?
Stay and observe, lest the "pig's feet" receive a boxed lunch. As for the third master to see that he is not happy, just get used to it, it doesn't matter at all, anyway, it's not a day or two.
Just when the atmosphere at the scene is becoming more and more depressing.
On the field, Allen, who gradually recovered his consciousness, muttered to himself: "Keep killing!" β
The sound was not loud, and it was still audible around the silent venue.
"He said keep killing!"
"I heard that, too."
"Damn, he's going to eat us all!"
The garrison soldiers surrounding the three of Allen were nervous and discussed, and I have to say that the brains of the masses are really powerful.
With sweat on his forehead, Captain Chiz took a step forward and shouted at Allen, who still didn't understand what was happening, "Say, what the hell are you?" Explain clearly, don't try to fool the past! Don't act rashly, or the howitzer will bombard you directly! Jaeger Train Soldiers! Are you a human or a giant? β
Allen, who had just regained consciousness, looked confused, he couldn't remember exactly what he had done, but he saw the blades, muskets, and cannons facing him, Mikasa, and Amin, and realized the seriousness of the problem!
"I'm human!" Alan roared.
