Chapter 3: Sorry for being late

"The tower can't hold ....... anymore"

Hanging from the wall with a steel wire, Gilga's eyes were a little glazed.

"I don't have much gas left, what about you?"

Nanabas breathed heavily.

"The gas is gone, the blades are gone, and you're left with those two blunt knives."

"yes."

"How many giants did the four of us kill........

"Who knows, I don't have time to count at all, but when Commander Su Mo covered our retreat, we encountered more giants, and no giants followed in the end of that day........

It was said that there were four people, but the remaining two had already been killed on the spot by the stone thrown by the beast giant from a distance......

"Ah, but I think we've done a great job........"

Gilga's body shook suddenly in midair.

"It's just........ At all costs....... It's the end....... I really want to drink Chief Su Mo's wine again........"

"Gilga?"

Nanabas heard the weakness of Gilga's voice and turned her head in dismay.

Gilga's head gradually drooped, and blood flowed down his cheeks: "I'm sorry Nanabas, my head was hit........ Already....... I can't exert my strength.........."

Click-

The steel rope broke away from the crack in the stone, and Gilga's body fell feebly into the greedy mouths of the giants on the ground, which were already too numerous to count.

"Gilga!!!!

A large amount of gas erupted from his back, and Nanabas flew straight towards the giant who had reached out and grabbed Gilga's body first.

"Drink !!"

Click, click——!

The twin knives slashed open the back of the giant's neck, and Gilgar rolled into a hole in the tower's wall, but Nanabas .......

"Damn, there's nothing left?!"

While the twin knives, which could no longer withstand the impact, were completely broken, Nanabas was desperate to find that the gas in the jar behind her had been completely exhausted, but what was even more desperate was where she was now.

"Ahh N-don't-"

The five giants condescendingly surrounded her, and there was no room for escape!

"Captain Nanabas!!!!"

At the top of the tower, the crowd in their private suits and without the slightest combat ability also witnessed this scene, and Christa picked up a piece of gravel from the ground with wide eyes and smashed it at the giant below - but undeniably it was useless.

"Ahh!!!!!h

Nanabas, who was held by the five giants on different parts of his body, instantly collapsed, his eyes drooling uncontrollably, and his pants were soaked with incontinence urine.

"Don't- I'm wrong, Dad, ahhhhhhhhh

Whew——!!

In the midst of screams filled with despair, two screams that broke through the air suddenly rang out.

Sneer——!!

No one even saw what it was, only to notice two black shadows rushing towards them. Then, in an instant, the entire tower was completely enveloped in snow-white steam!

"Fa-what's going on?"

Kony muttered.

In the next second, the steam in front of everyone suddenly swelled without warning, and then three people rushed out of it.

"Mick Chief?!!!

After the man in the middle lowered Gilga on his shoulders and Nanabas, who had passed out, to the ground, everyone shouted in surprise.

"Captain Mick is really fine!"

Even Reiner, who had been bitten on one arm earlier in order to block the passage downstairs to prevent the three-meter giant from going upstairs, let out a sigh of relief.

"Phew, did you really run into that beast giant? To be honest, I almost died. ”

Mick got up from the spot, only to find that there was too much steam around him, and after his vision was completely obscured, he thought about it, and sat on the ground very simply, looking relaxed: "Oops, hey, this time it's really a big luck, go back and have a good banquet and drink........"

"Mick squad leader....... It's really good you're okay - we've met you, Beast Giant........ Lina and Heininger are dead at its hands! ”

Lying on the ground and trying to support himself, but in the end, he could only turn over and lie on the ground: "Huh, huh, if it weren't for Mick's squad leader, we would have to die here......."

"Lina and Heininger......."

Hearing this news, Mick, who was originally relaxed, was stunned for a moment, the muscles on his face twitched, and then he looked up to look into the distance, only to find that there was only fog in front of him, and took a deep breath: "They have done their best, this is a glorious sacrifice." ”

"We who survive will live better until we kill all these giants!"

"But Sir Mick, in the current situation, only Chief Mick alone has the ability to fight, it won't work, right?! No matter how fast the reinforcements from the headquarters are, they will definitely not be able to catch up now. ”

Next to Hrista, who was bandaging Gilga's wounds, Ymir said with a frown.

"Wait—"

As everyone else agreed with Ymir's statement and their emotions went down, Reiner's eyes widened: staring at the fog that enveloped the tower.

"Why, all this steam is getting more and more?! And—"

When the giants die, their whole bodies will quickly turn into steam and disappear, if Mick killed many giants when he rushed in before, then these fogs should also disappear now, not to mention........

"Boom ——!!"

"Boom ——!!"

"Bang ——!!"

The sound of the giants falling to the ground below was still ringing one after another, dense as raindrops.

"How can it be so fast?! Could it be that Chief Mick ran into reinforcements ahead of time?! ”

"Reinforcements? Strictly speaking, reinforcements are coming. ”

Mick stroked the stubble on his chin: "-By the way, Khrista, you prepare a little, and someone needs to take care of it later." ”

"Huh? Understand! ”

Despite his confusion, Hrista nodded.

It was also at this time that the outside world gradually calmed down.

"There were at least thirty giants out there just now, right? So fast....... Could it be the large force of the Survey Corps? Or is it the elite of the team personally led by Captain Levi? ”

Kony guessed.

"Neither."

Mick stood up and turned, and a gust of night breeze blew through the thick steam.

Boom –

The ground was densely covered with the corpses of giants that were vaporizing.

"Hey, hey, hey, is there only one person?!"

Everyone's faces were full of incredulity, because all that could be seen on the battlefield was a faint figure standing on a broken stone pillar in the distance.

He was slowly putting away the twin knives of the Cold Light Hunt.

Then he stood still, motionless.

"—let's go down and pick him up!"

Seeing this scene, Mick's face changed, and he called Reiner and the others to run down the tower.

"Wait, Sir Mick, watch out for the giants—"

Kony reminded loudly.

Mick squirted back: "There's still a fart, he won't stop until the giants below are killed!" ”

"But—"

"Don't be, that guy saved us!"

Reiner ran down the stairs without looking back, and Christa and Ymir rushed down with Mick at the first moment - oh Ymir was chasing Hrysta down.

"Ah, really, I didn't say no, you just waited for me!"

Kony grumbled and chased after him.

"I'm so good—"

And on the way, after getting close to the disappearing giants strewn with corpses, everyone had a new shock.

"Kill more than thirty giants in a few minutes, this is the combat power of Captain Levi and the instructor, when did we have such a strong guy in the survey corps......."

Kony slurped as he ran.

As he drew nearer to the man, the clouds lifted and the bright moonlight fell.

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't it—"

The back, the tall body, the long black hair, the person is .......

"Instructor !!!"

The one who reacted the most was Christa, her two big eyes filled with tears almost instantly, and the little girl ran quickly to the man who had been pronounced dead not far away.

"Stop !!! me"

The familiar voice yelled harshly, and everyone subconsciously stopped.

"Instructor?!"

"It's really an instructor!!"

"But why .......?"

And it was this roar that everyone confirmed the identity of the comer, and they were a little overwhelmed.

Mick realized something and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the beast giant is still there?!" ”

One sentence made everyone nervous.

"It's still there."

Su Mo's voice was very low: "It's still waiting-well, don't be vigilant, that guy's courage is less than he imagined." ”

It took him a long time before he finally said the words that made the air flow again.

Turn around.

"Instructor !!!!"

All the children who had been his cadets rushed forward excitedly.

Su Mo smiled, his face pale: "Sorry, I'm late, stinky boys." ”

His body went limp, and in the exclamation, he fell directly to the ground.

"This time, I'm completely out of strength......."
