At night, in front of the campfire, Wren sat on a stone to keep vigil.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and even in the summer when the stars and the moon were shining, it was completely dark in the woods at seven o'clock, and it was difficult to continue the journey, so Wren arranged for a few men to keep vigil in different directions, while most of the others fell asleep in their sleeping bags.

Neil walked over: "Big brother, are you worried about Lena Ani and them?" ”

Wren rubbed his forehead: "No, I'm more worried about Marco Allen and them." By the way, what's going on around? ”

Neil: "Everything is normal, the vigil is changed. ”

"Good, don't be careless." Wren was a little absent-minded.

If a person is killed, he will die, and the 15 bandits may have gone to rob the three-dimensional mobile device of the first squad, although they are only for money, but they have guns in their hands, and if there is a conflict, they may not hurt people.

He could only hope that Reiner Mikasa and the others arrived in time, or that Eren and they were vigilant enough.

There was nothing to say all night, and in the second half of the night, Neil and Wren changed shifts, and there were no accidents here.

Early in the morning, the morning sun slowly rose, and after everyone had eaten breakfast and dry food, Wren led everyone to continue to set off, about two hours later, they arrived at the meeting place, but the people of Class 1 did not arrive.

I waited until I was waiting, the daylilies were cold, and at 11 o'clock in the morning, the 1st class opposite was late, and Lena Ani Mikasa and they were also in the team of the 1st class.

Class 1 was visibly demoralized, and Khrista was even more red-eyed from crying, and Ymir was comforting her.

"You're right." Thomas said to Wren with some frustration.

"What's going on?" Wren had some bad premonitions.

"Let's go and have a look." Ani crossed his arms and said.

Wren walked over and found Reiner holding a male trainer in his hand, who was dead.

Alan and Jean, Marco, and Sasha were standing aside, everyone in a very depressed mood.

"What's going on?" Wren asked Amin, who was standing aside.

Amin was a little sad and told what had happened.

The gang of bandits attacked Squad 1 at night and took Hrista hostage, Marco Allen and they were so careless that they didn't even arrange a night watchman, they didn't give up after being robbed of the three-dimensional motorized device, and took a shortcut to attack the bandits' carriage, and snatched back the three-dimensional motorized device and the hostage Herlista.

Then the group of bandits was anxious, and shot directly at the training soldiers, a soldier named Bart was unfortunately shot in the abdomen, and the situation was critical, fortunately, the signal flare fired before Amin's action was seen by the six of them sent by Reiner Mikasa sent by Rennes, and there was gunfire positioning, Reiner They directly attacked the rear of this group of bandits, and Alan Marco and they subdued this group of bandits before and after.

However, Bart had already been shot, and the muskets used by the robbers had limited range and poor accuracy, but if they were hit at close range, they would surely die.

Not to mention that there are no treatment conditions in the woods, and with the level of medical care within the walls, there may not be a way even in the town.

Bart was shot in the abdomen and died of a massive intestinal hemorrhage, although Mina had already bandaged Bart's wound very carefully.

Jean regretted it: "If we hadn't been careless, if we had killed in the first place, wouldn't Bart not have to die?" ”

No one knows the answer, and no one knows what the outcome will be until they make a choice.

Alan didn't reply, after Bart's death, he almost wanted to hack to death the group of bandits who had been captured by them, but was stopped by Amin and Connie, this gang of robbers is also a group of cornered guys, and the loss of the wall of Mary has made life difficult for many people in the wall.

After that, the two teams exchanged road maps in silence and rushed to the base of the training corps.

Wren beckoned Renaani Mikasa to continue his departure, and compared to the more relaxed and happy mood when he came, the group was more depressed when he returned. Although there were no casualties in Class 2, after all, there was a attrition in Class 1, Bart was very popular, many people in Class 2 knew him, and Wren also knew him, but he was just not familiar with him.

Thomas suddenly said: "I understand your words a little, don't gamble with the lives of your comrades." ”

Swords and guns have no eyes, normal people may die after a shot, there is really not much time to hesitate when fighting, so what is the memory of the past, and then explode every second, turn the tables against the wind, don't take it seriously, just think about it.

If you really want to fight, you will lose if you hesitate, and when a person begins to be distracted on the battlefield, the person is almost going to die, and there will be no miracle, as Wren, who has already hung up once, can testify.

Wren: Battles are often decided in an instant, and it's not popular to kill with memories, because memories can really be killed.

Before Wren could reply, Ymir suddenly interjected: "Bart has no relatives anymore, he only said 'I don't want to die yet' before he died, Christa blames himself, and it's useless for me to comfort him." ”

"It's not Hrista's fault, if it weren't for her warning, the three-dimensional mobile device of Class 1 was taken, I'm afraid I don't know who did it." Reiner defended Christa.

Wren sighed: "Allen, they can still boost their morale after being robbed of the three-dimensional mobile device, and they can take a shortcut to attack the bandit carriage and regain the equipment and hostages, in fact, they have performed very well, but they were too bad before." ”

At that time, Marco Allen and the others were too careless, they didn't think that there would be danger at all, and they went to sleep without even a vigil!

Realizing that something was wrong, Khrista spontaneously kept vigil, and then as soon as he turned his head, the robbers pointed several muskets at his head, and Khrista was captured before he could scream.

Hrista: I'm desperate too.

Wren was speechless, and he didn't send a few people to keep vigil when he slept in the forest, which was so heartfelt. He sent eight people to keep vigil in four directions in four groups, and there was a wave of personnel rotation, and he still felt uneasy about keeping vigil in the first half of the night.

Wren: There are always people who want to harm me!

At 3 p.m., both classes returned to the training corps base, and Instructor Keith stood on the wooden platform with a gloomy face and looked at the training soldiers below.

Instructor Keith took two record sheets and a road map and yelled at everyone: "I'll post these on the bulletin board later, and you all look at the performance of the other class and compare it with your own class, especially Class 1."

I told you! Although most of you are teenagers around fifteen years old, you are not rubbish picking up stones and pulling weeds, you are soldiers! Always remember that you are soldiers! Always be vigilant and always keep the will to fight! ”

Everyone was silent, and Marco, Allen, and they bowed their heads in shame.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, in Instructor Keith's office, Amin and Mikasa and Neil (Mikasa went to support Class 1, and Neil also worked as a recorder for Class 2) was reporting as recorders, after all, it was impossible to be too detailed on the record paper, and Instructor Keith needed to know what was going on, who was more impressive, and who was dragging his feet.

After the debriefing, Instructor Keith did not make any comments.

Amin couldn't help but ask, "Did we make the right choice?" If everything had been left to the gendarmes, wouldn't Bart have died? ”

Keith shook his head: "I don't know, if it were me, I would have chosen the difficult path. Just like Wren, choosing a comrade in the life of the enemy and the safety of his comrades, even if the enemy is not guilty of death, will kill the enemy first, you can hardly say that he is necessarily right.

Arnold, which path do you find more difficult? Which path you won't regret? ”

Amin was silent and didn't speak, and Mikasa patted Amin on the shoulder: "Let's go." ”

Keith watched the three of them leave.

The gang of bandits was handed over to the gendarmerie regiment, and the training soldiers were considered to have done a good job, but few people were happy.

A few days later, in June of 848, the trainers had taken half a month's vacation, which seemed like a long one, but it was also the last holiday of the year. After that, you have to train until January 849 with 15 days off.

Bart was buried in a cemetery not far from the training corps' station, where many of the trainees who died as a result of various trainings or accidents were buried.

For more than 100 years, the training corps has trained countless outstanding soldiers for the wall, and is the main source of soldiers for the survey corps, gendarmerie corps, and garrison corps.

Generations of recruits have grown up here, either dying, or starting their legends.

It's a holiday, someone is going home, there are homeless people staying here, and who knows what the future holds?

As Mikasa said, this world is cruel and beautiful!

In the office, Instructor Keith sorted out the assessment results of the training soldiers. There is no doubt that as recruits, this group of teenagers still has a way to go, and as for what kind of soldiers they will become in the future, he doesn't know, but he will be here to witness silently and send blessings!
