Chapter 17: The moon is just right tonight, and what does the soft light illuminate?
There are so few people in the group
The recapture of the Taurus District went well.
Having lost his mind, Eren was called back to normal by Ermin and Mikasa, and lifted up the rock, which was larger than the giant's body, and blocked it heavily at the gate that had been broken, sealing the giant's access to the great wall - of course, humans themselves could not pass through it.
In this process, none of the elites of the garrison corps, who had been prepared for sacrifice, died.
As the leader of the group, Ian felt like he was in a dream, a little trance, without a sense of reality.
Blood, dust, rising steam, and the most wanton laughter of the human race.
It suddenly occurred to him that it was a joke that humans had been so afraid of giants before.
When the battle was over, the soldiers who had survived the battle hugged each other and wept bitterly
And then, because Eren can turn into a giant, the various forces of the human race have different ideas about this.
Erwin, the head of the Survey Corps, believes that Eren is an important foundation for the human attack, and with his power to turn into a giant, the human can recapture Maria's Wall, and even use it as a pedal to break out of the wall.
After the fall of Maria's Wall, the Church of the Wall, which worships the Great Wall, believes that Allen's existence is a defilement of the Holy Great Wall, and proposes to kill him.
The Gendarmerie wanted to dissect Allen in order to get more information. The merchants, on the other hand, believed that the super-large giants could only destroy the gates of the giant wall, so as long as the gates were completely blocked or reinforced, there was no need to recapture the wall of Maria, so Allen's existence was unnecessary. Of course, these businessmen are mercenary, as long as they have money to earn, as for the commoners who are difficult to survive because of the lack of land? What does that have to do with them?
But in the end, the root cause is just two words.
- [Interests] and [Fear]
And then in order to take back Eren from those people, the strongest human came out.
Punch kick, well, punch kick.
Because Alan was emotional, causing the others to be overly nervous, the gendarmerie even raised their guns to aim at him.
So the witty Levi appeared.
"I think it's better to make him remember thoroughly than to talk about useless threats."
Tied to the center of the field, Alan was beaten like a punching bag by Levi, his teeth flying and blood splattering.
"This guy, after becoming a giant, until he was exhausted, killed a total of twenty giants, including even these few strange species. Do you think that if he goes berserk, everyone here will kill him? Or, killed? Glancing playfully at the ugly-faced gendarmes, merchants, and church members, Levi continued, "But I'm different, I'm proposing that he join the Survey Corps, and then I'll be in charge, and if he goes berserk, I'll only be worried that he's going to die too soon." ”
Then, Levi glanced at Mikasa, whose face turned black because he saw him beating Allen, but was desperately held by Elmin, and then turned his face to glance at Su Mo, who was leaning against the door as if he was going to sleep, he took out a handkerchief, sprinkled Allen's blood on his hand, turned back to the auditorium, and finally dropped a sentence: "Don't forget who this kid's teacher is, provoked him, what color do you think tomorrow will be?" ”
The face changed suddenly!
"Well, this time, I have already made a decision"
"So, Levi, you're too heavy!" Investigating the Corps stronghold, the head of the corps Hanji Zoye is applying medicine to Allen's injured face.
"Cut, after all, this kid is your student!" Levi opened his mouth with an unhappy face, and then said to Su Mo, who was standing by the window and watching the scenery, "Why don't you go on your own?!! ”
"Ahh With an expression as if he hadn't slept well, Su Mo said lazily: "We all know that this is a performance, a bitter trick or something." ”
Everyone around nodded.
Then he continued, "So what we need is to make Eren look miserable and let them know that we have enough power to be afraid even if Eren becomes a giant." ”
"So, it's okay for you to go up, not to mention that you are his instructor, so it's not easy to attract hatred, don't you see, that girl named Mikasa looked at Levi's expression" Han Ji complained.
"No, if I were to fight, Alan probably wouldn't be miserable." Su Mo's words surprised them a little.
"Why?"
"Because if I go up, there will only be two results." He paused and said, "First, Alan will not have any particularly painful reaction to my beating, because for the past three years, I have to be beaten and coughed every month, and I have trained all the training soldiers for a whole day, and they seem to have developed antibodies, and some of them will even show a disgusting and pleasant expression when I train them, and I don't have the heart to beat them."
Are you a demon?
"What about the second one?"
"Second" Su Mo's eyes, which were originally full of sleepiness, suddenly became distant and deep, making several people who looked at him unconsciously solemn.
"Second, I thought, maybe because ordinary beatings didn't work, I would naturally increase my strength, and then"
Han Ji swallowed, and even Levi was attracted.
"Maybe we won't have to think about Allen's handling again."
"Why?"
"Because, those who will die will be killed directly by me"
What the hell are you kidding me?
"Alan has this kind of instructor, it's very hard." Han Ji asked Alan quietly.
And Alan scratched his hair embarrassedly, "It's okay, it's just that I've been beaten a few times until I'm unconscious, and I've broken bones or something more than once." It is said that there are also a few special bears who have seen their grandparents who have died long ago standing by a river and waving to them, thanks to the blessing of the instructor."
"Hey, this is a beating to the death," the Survey Corps soldier in the room looked at Alan with a look of pity
"But, Su Mo, you've been yawning since just now, what's the situation?" During the silence for the 104th training soldiers, Levi asked Su Mo why he was so tired, for him and Su Mo, this situation should not be.
"Ah, ha, the banquet is ready" Su Mo yawned and rubbed the corners of his eyes with tears in his eyes.
"Banquet?" Surprised.
"Yes." The response was Erwin, who had been silent until now. "Su Mo proposed, with him as the head chef, and the banquet with the participation of all the investigation troops outside the wall of the investigation corps, is tonight."
"yes, then, I'll look forward to it."
"Sure enough, just like Su Mo said, Levi, you are a tsundere, I am looking forward to Su Mo's wine and food, just say it, why are you pretending to be so cool." Rarely, Erwin teased Levi once, maybe the hope of humanity is becoming more and more obvious.
"Soul Fade" has been said to be tsundere many times, and Levi knows that it is useless to refute, so he can only speak out with hatred.
"Alan, come to this banquet too." Erwin sent out the invitation.
"Huh?! Me, am I qualified? He was stunned.
"Could it be that you didn't join the Survey Corps to conduct an extramural investigation?" Erwin smiled slightly.
"I am! Thank you very much!! Tears gradually oozed from the corners of Alan's eyes
At the banquet
"To survive!!"
"For the attack of humanity!!"
"For Captain Su Mo's food and wine!!"
"Cheers!"
The interest was very high, and many people drank with red faces.
Because the next extramural investigation would not be until thirty days later, Erwin announced that the soldiers could relax all day today.
Of course, it was not only the soldiers who conducted an off-wall investigation and the newly joined Allen who participated in this banquet, but also Commander Pixis, who had been thinking about Su Mo's wine for a long time, also brought the elite members of the garrison corps who participated in covering Allen and fought side by side with Su Mo to the banquet venue.
Drunken Pixis yelled something, "If there is a beautiful female giant!" It's okay for me to be the first to be eaten! 1”
Well, I'm thoroughly drunk.
"The giantess really has it, although it is not beautiful, only Captain Su Mo knows" The few soldiers who helped him laughed helplessly.
The edge of the banquet venue
Su Mo and Levi held their wine glasses and leaned against the window.
In the night sky, a bright moon hung high, and the cool and soft moonlight shone on the ground, gilding the distant houses with a layer of silver veil.
"There are a lot of people who can't eat your food anymore." Levi spoke softly, and his face, which had been unsmiling, finally revealed something else, some fragile emotion.
He drank a lot and was a little drunk.
"Yes, before they set out, they told me expectantly that they wanted to drink my wine again. Although I know that sacrifice is inevitable, I am still very sad."
Su Mo is not from this world, not even a human being.
He is not like his own Sister Youxiang, who has lived a long time, and can look at life and death very lightly.
Though he gained power, though he was no longer human, though he would live for a long, long time
But he still hides in his heart that he used to be an otaku, and he will cherish his friends very much, and he will be sad for the death of someone in an anime who may not even be famous.
"Alan, that child, sooner or later, will become the hope of mankind, although there may be people who hate him and hate him. Although he may be a giant, however, the human attack will eventually succeed. ”
Su Mo said that because he would leave one day, the humans in this world could only rely on themselves after all.
"Perhaps, but is that kid really reliable? You see"
Looking at the place Levi was pointing to, Su Mo couldn't help but chuckle.
Although he has become a soldier, after all, Alan is still just a child, and he has collapsed on the table with a red face under the malicious drinking of several veteran ruffians.
The cold and bright moonlight shone through the window, shining on him, and seemed to illuminate something else
