Chapter 70: The Brave Stand

In the Toloster district, where everything was in ruins, in an open space under the podium, a group of training soldiers were discussing the future.

Connie's face was hesitant, and he looked at the silent Jean next to him: "Let, you decided?" ”

Jean nodded: "Yes, I've already decided to go to the Survey Corps." ”

Connie was a little dazed: "Didn't you target the gendarmes?" It's because Marco ......"

Many trainees who didn't know much about the situation looked at Jean in surprise, you know, Jean had always said that he wanted to become a gendarme.

Jean directly interrupted Connie's words and said disdainfully: "No kidding, I didn't decide to join the Survey Corps because of anyone!" I also don't agree that excellent soldiers need to join the Survey Corps, just like Wren said, life is his own, and the road is also his own choice, I'm not the kind of hot-blooded idiot, I just think I should go to the Survey Corps. ”

The stupid guy who got the blood in his mouth was not Wren, but Allen.

Looking at Connie, who was thinking about life, Jean snorted lightly: "Connie, didn't you come to the army to prove yourself?" Becoming a gendarme should impress the villagers.

Don't say that you changed your mind after listening to a few bad words from Wren mocking the gendarmerie. ”

Connie smiled a little bitterly, he had actually changed his target several times, and a few days ago he had been told by Alan that he was going to the Survey Corps.

He shook his head: "I don't know why, I suddenly don't find it attractive to go to the gendarme." ”

Let no longer say more, Ah Ming, Sasha, Wren and the others who looked at the two of them withdrew their gaze.

Wren looked at Sasha, who was leaning against the wall with her head bowed, and said, "Sasha, you go to the gendarme." ”

Sasha raised her head and looked at Wren with a surprised expression: "What? That, you asked me to go to the Gendarme? ”

She was confused, shouldn't Wren persuade her to go to the Survey Corps?

Thoughts drifted, Wren smiled and said: "Yes, the battlefield is dangerous, you should rest assured when you go to Uncle Blaus of the Gendarmerie Regiment." ”

Sasha was a little sad: "I don't seem to have been home for three years. Wren, I remember hiding behind a tree and hearing you tell my dad that you wanted to drive out the giants so that everyone could hunt in the forest again. ”

After a pause, Sasha looked at the red glow in the sky: "However, now that the clan is raising horses and farming, everyone has given up the tradition and chose to blend in with the crowd and become a part of this world." Wren, you don't have to work so hard. ”

Wren smiled self-deprecatingly: "Lie to you, I'm not that great, it's just a matter of letting everyone hunt in the forest again, I just want to find something to do for myself." ”

"Really? Then don't persuade me to go to the gendarme, I don't want to go, there are no friends for me...... Friend. ”

"Really not going? Do you know that when you go to the gendarmerie regiment, you can eat and drink spicy food, and you will have meat ...... all of a sudden" like the temptation of the devil whispered, and Wren looked teasing.

"Ah~, damn it, Wren, you're too much, don't talk to me about this!"

Wiping a handful of non-existent saliva from the corners of her mouth, Sasha raised her hands and glared at him with a frenzied expression.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wren slipped away directly, and the landlord's family had no food left, in case Sasha was hungry again, he had nothing to feed her. He knew very well that when a girl was hungry and faint, she would really bite.

Time passed slowly, and in the Torost district, the sky was getting dark, the night was thick, and a fire had been lit on the lamppost next to the clearing, and the light of the fire shone on the solemn faces of everyone, and no one said a word, and there was silence.

Alvin Smith, the 13th commander of the Survey Corps, stood on the podium with his hands in his hands, glanced at the 168 training soldiers in the audience, and said unhurriedly:

"Good evening everyone, I'm Alvin Smith, the head of the Survey Corps, and what I'm going to say next is, to put it bluntly, to persuade you to join the Survey Corps."

Everyone was slightly stunned, is it so straightforward?

After a slight pause, Alvin continued, "I believe that everyone has already understood their own strength and limits after experiencing the recapture war. ”

Many people's faces suddenly turned ugly, and after two battles they killed a quarter of the people, and this is still the situation of terrain advantage.

Alwin's voice was calm, and he continued, "Our sacrifice is meaningful, for the first time humanity has defeated a giant!" It's because of the presence of one person – Alan Yeyer, who is definitely our partner!

Now we have learned that he is located in the basement of his home where Hygansina went to the Wall of Mary, and hides a secret about giants, which, if found, may reveal the mystery of the origin of giants that has plagued mankind for centuries. ”

The trainees below suddenly became in a commotion, they didn't expect the truth to be so close. Many people are even hesitant to contribute.

The regimental commander asked Petra and Captain Mick to show everyone the new marching route, and the gate of the Urn City of Toloster in the south of Rossy's Wall had been blocked by Eren with a boulder and could no longer be opened!

They had to retake the Wall of Mary and the Higansina district from the east, from the Karanis district, and the route laid out by the previous more than four years and great sacrifices (the Survey Corps was reduced from about 2,000 to about 1,000 men) was completely nullified.

Even though they had already known about this situation, many people from the Survey Corps still felt very heartbroken when they heard this.

Then, the regiment commander said that the recruits who joined the investigation corps would also participate in the extramural investigation a month later, and the mortality rate of the recruits was about 3 percent, and they would almost die after four years! And the tested recruits will gradually become the elite of the survey corps with a high survival rate.

The cold and cruel truth was like a basin of cold water poured on their heads, and all the training soldiers "woke up".

It's like the boss saying that the death rate of your first job is 30%, and you will die after four years without an accident, and if you don't die, you can live for a few more years, who can withstand this?

The regiment commander looked directly at the training soldiers who were in a bit of a commotion in the audience: "You ask yourself, do you really have the consciousness to sacrifice your life for mankind!"

When you know this cruel truth, if you still want to join the Survey Corps, stay and join the other Corps. ”

Alvin turned and walked away, and when he returned five minutes later, those who remained in the audience had joined the Survey Corps.

As soon as the words fell, many of the trainers hesitated slightly, then turned to leave, and the crowd dispersed.

Standing slightly at the back of the crowd, Wren had the illusion that he was like a reef in the waves, washed by the waves and standing tall in the endless stream of people.

Wren saw Arnie leaving, and Berthold who turned to see her leaving, and he saw Sasha and Connie, who made their bodies tremble and still stand still, and saw Amin and Mikasa standing in front of them, as well as Khrista and Ymir.

Wren's expression remained unchanged, and Rob, the big man of Class 7, looked at him, Ymir, and Hrista for a while, then turned to leave.

People who do not follow the trend in an era may not be great people, nor may they be able to achieve a career, but it takes courage to swim against the current.

One of the investigators said to Alwin, "Commander, is the intimidation too much?" Not many people will stay! ”

Mick, Hanji, and Petra also looked at Alwin, who had rarely said so bluntly in the past, especially since the training soldiers had seen the horror of giants.

Alvin shook his head, and without further words, Eren could turn into a giant, which in itself was important information.

And the killing of the giant test subject is another important piece of information.

When Head Alvin returned to the podium, there were 26 people standing scattered around the stage, including Rennes, Mikasa, Amin, Reiner, Berthold, Jean, Connie, Sasha, Ymir, Christa, and many more.

The top ten of the 104th training army in the south have all joined the survey corps except for Arnie, Marco is dead, and Alan has already joined in advance.

Alvin walked back to the podium, the light of the fire shining on his face, he looked at the crowd with different expressions in the open space below the stage, but no one flinched, and asked coldly, "If you were ordered to die, would you go?" ”

"I don't want to die!" Someone shouted.

"It depends on what kind of order it is." Wren stared at Alvin on the stage and replied.

The head of the regiment glanced at Wren in the audience, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Everyone is very good, I respect you from the bottom of my heart!" ”

The head of the regiment saluted very standardly: "This is a real salute!" Give your heart! ”

Everyone in the audience saluted back: "Yes!" ”

Alwyn nodded: "Everyone pack your bags, tomorrow you will go to the old Survey Corps station inside the Rosey Wall to study for a month, and you must master the knowledge of marching outside the wall as soon as possible." ”

The crowd nodded, and then dispersed.

After today, Investigator Wren is officially online.
