Chapter 11: The Giant Appears
Desolate villages, darkening skies, this is the place where the giants ravaged after the destruction of Maria's walls.
It has been five years since the destruction of the walls of Mary.
In 845, due to the invasion of giants, the lives of the inhabitants of the Higanshina region were greatly changed, mixed with screams and roars, and the people continued to flee but could not do anything, and the last survivors fled by boat to the walls of Rosse.
Subsequently, the population was compressed and the land was drastically reduced, which contributed to the economic depression of the imperial capital.
The nobles of the imperial capital had to give a stupid and cruel order with a high-sounding command to attack the giants and recapture the walls of Maria.
However, the result naturally fell on everyone's face like a joke.
The loss of 250,000 people reduced the population of the empire by a third, and the nobles and the top leaders of the imperial capital thought it was a wise decision, and since then, the human race has once again shrunk into the cage-like walls, continuing their ostrich mentality, and deceiving themselves in the cage of happy life.
There are exceptions to everything, there are always some people who try to change something, those who regard their ideals as their lives, never give up the most naïve ideals in their hearts and gradually give up when they grow up, they still believe that on the far other side of this world there are beautiful flowers blooming, vast oceans, and those stubborn madmen have painted two wings on their cloaks, symbolizing freedom and soaring.
Although an average of 30 percent of the people are left behind the walls forever in each survey, this seemingly stupid action has been criticized. But it is still moving forward under countless pressures. Faltering but unusually resolute.
A group of five people. The war horses under the crotch are galloping in the wind, and the cloak of the wind hunting is like flying the wings of freedom, there is no doubt that this is the investigation corps of those who are called madmen, and these people are the best of the madmen, the kind that belongs to the seriously ill.
The man who took the lead never had any expression on his face, just like Su Luo's baby face made it difficult to guess his age. The head shape of the national traitor in the style of four or six is particularly attractive, and the eyes that are as dull as a dead fish are even more elusive in his mind, and the disadvantage of height makes it a little difficult for him to wear stirrups on both feet, but if someone underestimates him, he will definitely pay a terrible price. Captain Ackerman.
Behind him were three men and a woman, the girls should be about twenty years old, with light brown hair, golden eyes, and beautiful faces. If it is placed in an ordinary family, it should be the existence of the eldest lady. But don't be fooled by her seemingly delicate appearance, in fact, she is one of the elites of Levi's special ops squad, with excellent results in 10 independent crusades against giants and 48 in auxiliary crusades - Petra? Lalu.
"Commander, there seems to be a situation there."
The girl who followed behind made a discovery, in fact, there was no need for him to say, the huge figure proved that the danger was approaching, and the strange huge body could only be a giant.
"We've gone too far, Captain, do you think this investigation ends here?"
It was a man with blond hair and a few whiskers on his jaw, who was also one of the elite members of Levi's special class - Elder? Jean has an impressive record of independently defeating 14 giants and assisting in 32 victories.
Levi didn't answer right away, and the war horse under his crotch didn't have the slightest tendency to slow down.
"Jean, is it because you are scared when you see giants, well, your consideration may be right sometimes, after all, I can't judge what will happen when I make any decision...... Oh! It wasn't Levi who answered him, but another curly-haired uncle, who seemed to have bitten his tongue because of the speed of his speech.
However, this does not affect his honor as the elite of Levi's special class, with an impressive record of 39 giants independently and 9 auxiliary crusades, but he often likes to imitate Levi's tone, and has always regarded himself as the captain - Oluo? Bozart.
Although the members of the Freedom Wings have been constantly searching for everything about the giants, no matter how terrible the cost, they have achieved very little to this day, and a large number of Freedom Wings members die in the investigation every year, but this has not stopped them from searching.
Levi's grim face has not changed in any way, but the dead fish-like eyes fluctuated slightly, and the war horse with the strength of his legs was actually a few points faster than the speed just now, and several people behind him glanced at each other, and invariably nodded the electric head, with a solemn look on their faces, but they continued to speed up and follow Levi to rush away.
The words were divided into two ends, Lin Xiu and the others were now turning around at the edge of the forest, and the moment they saw the human footprints and blood, Lin Xiu had already rushed out without hesitation, holding the steel knife in his hand, and approached cautiously.
It didn't take long for Lin Xiu to find the target, it was a man, wearing a green cloak, and a pair of wings on the cloak showed that Su Jingxue's guess was accurate, although his understanding of this world was limited, but as the most important team in this world, Lin Xiu was still very impressed.
Wings of Freedom!
This cloak has said everything, Lin Xiu stretched out his hand to test his snort, obviously he has been dead for some time, but this person died here suddenly, the only one who can pose a threat to them in this world is probably a giant, this person died here, that also shows that the danger is not far from them.
"Another dead man."
After yesterday, these newcomers have been able to adapt to the dead corpse to some extent, although they can't approach as unscrupulously as Lin Xiu, but at least they won't turn around and run away in a panic.
"Hey, this person's clothes are really strange, I always feel like I've seen them somewhere."
Although Guo Mengqi was a little scared, she still couldn't help but look at it twice, and also noticed the person's dress and the wings of freedom on the back of the cloak.
"Yes, if you've seen this anime, then you've seen the Wings of Liberty logo."
Lin Xiu replied without raising his head. I kept groping with the members of the Wings of Freedom. He was going to transfer the ammonia power system to himself. Although he may not be able to use it, if he wants to fight the giant, relying on his current bounce will not produce any beneficial damage.
"Moving...... Anime? “
Lin Xiu's words made Wei Dehou and Wu Ji a little surprised, and they didn't know how to answer, they had thought that this might not be the original world, but if it was said to be entering an anime, it would be too nonsense.
"Xiaolin, are you mistaken. Although we also have some preparations...... Uh, but to say it's anime, isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? “
Such a statement, let alone Wei Dehou and Wu Ji, even Li Shu can't fully believe it, after all, these people don't look like the pieces of paper in the cartoon, but a living person.
"Could it be an audiophile playing cosplay?"
Obviously, not only Li Shu and the three of them, but even Guo Mengqi couldn't fully believe it, and came to an anime world after his sudden death. It's a bit unbelievable.
"Have you ever seen someone cosplay and die, and more than one?"
Sun Jingxue is a staunch supporter of Lin Xiu. Now that Lin Xiu is convinced, then she is looking for clues in other aspects, obviously this is not as simple as Guo Mengqi said, yesterday's corpse did not play any cosplay, and even if it was playing this kind of thing, there was not only one corpse nearby.
"There's no time to talk nonsense, if you don't want to die, hurry up and find the nearby corpses and take down these equipment from them, I guess those giants didn't go far."
Lin Xiu said without raising his head, and had quickly placed the power unit on his body.
Although Sun Jingxue was still a little afraid of the dead corpse, after seeing Lin Xiu's magical ability, she was already convinced of his words, endured her nausea and fear, and quickly threw herself next to a corpse and began to disarm his power device.
Several other people looked at each other You look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do for a while, hesitate, and at this moment, there is a dull rumbling sound from the earth.
Lin Xiu cursed secretly, he was not familiar with the power device on his body, if he was his previous self, he naturally did not need to use this kind of device, but now, whether he can escape or not can only rely on the power device on his body.
"Giant ...... Giant? “
Sun Jingxue anxiously held the power device, and didn't know what to do for a while, but she also heard the shaking of the earth, and asked in disbelief.
Lin Xiu didn't have time to answer her, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the few newcomers who were still at a loss, and pressed his body to the ground, because of Tan Xiaofan, he had learned some reconnaissance skills, although he couldn't estimate the actual number of the other party in detail, but at least he could have an approximation.
Obviously, it will not be one or two giants who can make such a grand noise, at least it should be more than double digits, and their number is not as many as giants now, especially since these people have no combat experience at all.
The sound was getting closer and closer, the shadows kept enveloping in, blocking out the sunlight, and the elongated figure was like a moving fortress, each trampling made a heavy muffled sound, and the sound was like a war drum, beating everyone's heart, so that they didn't know what to react to for a while.
The figure was getting closer and closer, and at last the first tall figure showed its face, with a wooden but strange smile on its huge face, and walked forward naked, making the earth tremble slightly with each step, like a high-pitched decibel of impact, knocking on everyone's heart.
One, two, three...... There are seven or eight of them.
Shock, it is no longer enough to describe in words, the moment I saw this behemoth for the first time, all the blood seemed to stop flowing.
In addition to Lin Xiu, Guo Mengqi and Sun Jingxue, the other three people saw this strange creature for the first time, and Lin Xiu had already seen some of them because of the Elder Scrolls, but there were only slight differences, according to his estimates, the strength of these giants was not as good as the Elder Scrolls, but unfortunately, his current state was not a little worse than the Elder Scrolls game.
Lin Xiu calculated slightly, the monster that was more than three meters tall, he could rely on his own bounce and then use the nearby tree trunk. Maybe jump on his shoulder. But it's higher. That's difficult.
The fatal position of the giant is in the back, close to the neck, if it can't jump above the shoulder, then it can't cause substantial damage to them, in an instant, these calculations have been running rapidly in his brain, and after a quick observation, Lin Xiu has already chosen several directions where he can land and attack.
"How...... What to do. These...... Are these monsters going to eat us? ”
Wu Ji was so frightened that he couldn't say a word neatly, his legs couldn't help but tremble, and Wei Dehou was even more frightened that he couldn't even say a word.
Li Shu is much better than the two, she has been staring at Lin Xiu, and she can vaguely see his face clearly from the side, that face is clearly full of seriousness and calmness, but there is no trace of panic.
In addition to courage and will, Li Shu vaguely felt that this person was not simple, so. Her eyes were firmly fixed on Lin Xiu's figure, not daring to miss a single bit.
The giant seemed to have discovered a new toy. He didn't attack immediately, but poked his head down and stretched out in front of Sun Jingxue, who was closest to him.
Sun Jingxue only felt that her body was a little numb, and she wanted to escape, but it was as if she had been immobilized, and her legs didn't listen to her call at all, she turned her head a little desperately and looked at Lin Xiu's direction, maybe this was the last scene she could see, although Lin Xiu had defeated Xiahou Junzhi, but no matter how terrible Xiahou Junzhi was, compared to the monster in front of him, it was really insignificant, this is the existence that makes people lose the power to resist.
Closer, closer, the bad breath from the open mouth makes people want to spit out the gastric juice......
"Click......
"Boom"
It was like a heavy iron door that suddenly closed, making a piercing crisp sound, and the giant bit directly at Sun Jingxue's figure, for a while she had forgotten to open her mouth to call for help, and at the same time, Lin Xiu's figure suddenly jumped high, he seemed to be waiting for this opportunity, originally the distance between him and Sun Jingxue was not far, the giant did not use his hands to grab her body, but directly approximated to lie on the ground, so the height of the neck is not so difficult to cross.
"Die!"
Everything fell into stillness, the leaves, the sun, the river......
The body of the giant, the numb Sun Jingxue, and the newcomers who were frightened by the panic......
Lin Xiu's body is the only dynamic in the picture, the steel knife suddenly came out of its sheath against the slight penetration of the sunlight, and a cold glow swept by, and with a bang, it broke the silence of the picture......
"Bang"
Like a balloon with smoke in its mouth, the giant's figure disappeared with the smoke, and at the same time, everything seemed to come alive from the still.
"Ahh
Guo Mengqi screamed heartbreakingly, not hurt, just shocked by the fear in front of her, she knelt on the ground, grabbed her hair with both hands, closed her eyes and didn't dare to accept all this.
Li Shu's reaction was the fastest except for Lin Xiu, as early as the moment the giant lowered his head, she had already quickly turned around and fled.
Wei Dehou ran away with a roll, and just a few steps out, he fell to the ground all of a sudden because of excessive fright, and his center of gravity was unstable, but he had forgotten what the pain was, but no matter how he struggled, his legs were like being anesthetic, and he couldn't hold them at all, and he couldn't help but tremble.
"Run!"
Lin Xiu's voice was like a signal, breaking all the silence in an instant, and the moment he landed, he rolled over and borrowed his strength, pulled up Sun Jingxue, who was still at a loss on the ground, and ran away.
"You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me"
Wu Ji had been scared into a puddle of flesh, and could only lean on the ground with an ostrich-like mentality, praying non-stop, although Lin Xiu had killed a three-meter-tall giant, more giants had already appeared in their field of vision.
If the three-meter-tall horror is still within their acceptable range, then these eight-meter-tall, or even ten-meter-tall giants who came out from behind, made them completely disheartened.
A giant stretched out his hand to Wu Ji's body, and for some reason, he actually stopped in front of him, as if he was thinking about something.
"You...... Hello ......"
Wu Ji showed a smile that was worse than crying, and also stretched out his hand, maybe he planned to use this way to avoid danger, but because he hadn't watched this anime, he didn't know anything about these giants at all......
"Ah, let go of me, let go of me, please, I have no ill will"
Wu Ji's idea was still too naïve after all, the giant only hesitated for a moment, and then grabbed his body into his hand, and then in everyone's indescribable eyes, the giant ate his body alive.
"Help...... Help......"
"I don't want to die"
"Who's going to save me?"
For a while, several people saw the tragic death of Wu Ji clearly, and they couldn't believe or accept such a fact, and at this time, behind each of them, there were one or several giants chasing after them.
Lin Xiu's speed was not as good as before, and the giant was close to ten meters away in one step, and it didn't take long for him to catch up behind him.
Sun Jingxue beside her was still pale, like a puppet, she couldn't count on it at all, Lin Xiuxin went down, bit the root of her teeth, and the power device was activated instantly.
"Whoosh"
The giant's palm almost brushed against the backs of the two of them, Lin Xiu could even feel the cold wind coming from his neck, and he happened to shoot a tree trunk, dragging his and Sun Jingxue's bodies to quickly evacuate, dodging the fatal blow, however, this was only the beginning of the danger. (To be continued.) )
