Chapter 37: True Salute!
At night, all the training soldiers of the training corps except for Allen were concentrated in this huge clearing, and everyone knew that their next choice would determine their future fate, whether to join the gendarmerie regiment that protected the king's life and death in the rear, or joined the garrison corps responsible for defending the city walls and managing the walls.
Or choose to stand on the front line of mankind to conduct extramural investigations, and the survey corps has an infinite yearning for freedom but is full of endless dangers!
All the trainers must choose their own path at this time, whether to live and fear death or to fight for the freedom of mankind? This seems like a difficult choice.
At this time, a person came here unexpectedly - Alvin Smith, this name may be unfamiliar to everyone, but he has an identity that everyone admires, that is, the commander of the Survey Corps!
Alvin stood on a high platform in front of everyone, looking at the training soldiers of the training corps, the light of the fire reflected by the bonfire shone on, making his already straight face even more gloomy.
Alwyn's face was composed, and he looked blankly at the group of lively trainers in front of him.
"Plus, I have a few words to say, to put it bluntly, that is, to persuade you to join the Survey Corps."
For this move, Alvin was also forced to be helpless, the casualty rate of the investigation corps every time he went out to perform a mission was very high, although everyone in the corps was an elite, but it could not stand the situation of countless crises outside the wall.
It is precisely because of the extremely high mission mortality rate of the Survey Corps that the number of fresh troops joining the Survey Corps every year is decreasing and decreasing, and the number of new recruits who joined the Survey Corps last year did not even exceed 20.
If this continues, without the addition of new forces, the Survey Corps, which has a high mission mortality rate, will exist in name only one day in the future!
Although he himself came to persuade the trainees to join the Survey Corps, Alvin, as the commander of the Corps, knew very well that the number of new forces in the Survey Corps would not increase because of his own persuasion, so his next words would not be persuasion but confusion.
Alvin paused and continued, "Because of this giant attack, you have understood the horror of the giant and the limit of your own strength, right? ”
For Alwin's words, everyone subconsciously nodded slightly, this time the giant's attack these trainers all joined the battle, if there was no Sikong Xu on the way, maybe even ordinary people would not exist.
"But!" Immediately afterward, Alwin's tone aggravated, "Through this battle, humanity has taken an unprecedented big step towards victory, and that is the existence of Alan Yeyer. ”
Alwyn knew that in order for the Trainers to let go of their fear of death and join the Survey Corps, they had to erect a presence worthy of a Patronus. Originally, Alwin wanted to erect Captain Levi, but considering the familiarity of the trainers with Allen, he still pushed Allen out.
"He's our absolute partner, and the fight he fought to the death speaks for itself, and more importantly us! Not only did he stop the giant's attack, but he also gained a way to find out the giant's true face! ”
As soon as Alwin's words came out, a shocking voice suddenly came from the training soldiers, to know that the identity of the giants is a mystery, no one knows how they were born, where they came from, why they are obsessed with humans, only that giants have appeared and preyed on humans since a hundred years ago.
Alwyn continued, "His hometown, in the basement of Sigansina, is said to have a mystery of the giants that he doesn't even know about, and if we can reach that basement, then we should be able to find the clue to free the giants from their dominance for a hundred years. ”
The shock from the field became louder, originally Alwin didn't plan to say this, but in order to dispel the fear of the trainers about the giants, Alwin still said it, anyway, it won't have much impact, but it will also play a role in calming these trainers, and Alvin has other intentions......
Alwyn observed the trainees' expressions for a moment, and finally his eyes locked on Sikong Xu.
Alwyn had heard rumors about this soldier, who was so powerful that he could fight back under the siege of multiple giants, and it seemed that he was the one who saved almost all of his trainers in the war.
Of course, these are just rumors, and the most important thing is what Levi says about him: he is a strong soldier......
It's been so many years, the first time I've seen Levi say this about a soldier, and judging from Levi's personality, Alvin is sure that Levi's "very strong" means that the other party has the same strength as Levi.
If this soldier joins the Survey Corps, he will definitely be no less helpful to the Survey Corps than Allen! Alvin had an idea of what he wanted to do.
As the noise of the trainers had subsided, Alwyn finally began to speak his heart.
"Due to the intelligence of the West Gansina District, all the investigation routes that our Survey Corps spent 4 years building have come to naught, and in these 4 years, the Survey Corps has sacrificed more than 60% of its soldiers!"
"6 percent in 4 years! A shocking number, this time the recruits also have to participate in a month-long extramural investigation, and the chance of death is about 3 percent, and they will die almost after 4 years, but! Those who have undergone this test will gradually become excellent soldiers with a high survival rate! ”
Speaking of this, Alvin closed his eyes, then changed to a sharp look at the trainees, and said: "After you learn of this tragic situation, those who are willing to join the Survey Corps even if they die will stay where they are, and you ask yourself if you can sacrifice your heart for humanity!" ”
Alwin's voice is not loud, but it also has a convincing majesty, this majesty is not aimed at the training soldiers, but at all mankind, as if to tell that for the sake of mankind, he, Alvin can give his heart without hesitation!
"That's all I have to say, those who want to join the other corps will be disbanded on the spot." Alvin sighed and silently looked at the trainers in front of him.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and few people could really sacrifice their hearts for the sake of humanity, so the people dispersed......
Sikong Xu didn't move, he had already chosen to join the Survey Corps, because he was very confident in his strength, even if the death rate was super high, he could easily deal with it.
Mikasa didn't move, she just stood quietly beside Sikong Xu, and her expressionless face seemed to express to Sikong Xu, "I will follow you wherever you go".
Thinking of this, Sikong Xu quietly grabbed Mikasa's soft little hand, and the latter also smiled faintly at him.
The training soldiers were almost all gone, but there were always people who were willing to give their hearts, and surprisingly, among the top ten graduates of the training corps, except for Allen, who was taken away, only Arnie left, and the remaining eight were all standing in place.
Ultimately...... All those who were unwilling to join the Survey Corps left, and there were only a dozen or so trembling figures left at the scene, and the atmosphere seemed to have become a little sad......
Alwyn on the high platform stared at the trembling figures below, and the next moment, his gaze turned to Sikongxu.
Did you stay? The intimidation just now didn't seem to have any effect on him, Sikong Xu...... If I have a chance, let me see if you're as good as you say......
"Will you obey even if you are ordered to die?" Alwin's tone was a little vicissitudes.
"I don't want to die-"
"Really?" Alvin smiled, "Everyone's expressions are good. ”
"So now—I'm here to welcome you new members of the Survey Corps, it's a real salute!"
"Give your heart!"
