Chapter 20: The so-called courage

The scene of five years ago was played out again, when the huge red armored giant appeared in front of the city wall, the eyes that glanced around at humans were like watching a group of prey ready to hunt at any time, like a birdcage that had been opened, and the huge palm that had reached in was ready to pull them out with impunity.

Time went back a little bit, Lin Xiu didn't care about Sasha's shouts, although he also knew that Sasha definitely had something to explain to him, but the most important thing now was to catch those two students.

One is already certain to be Reiner, and the other is not Ani, so who could it be? Who is the man who has been with Reiner all this time?

Time is running out.,It's a pity that this anime hasn't been written yet.,Otherwise,It's easy to make a lot of assumptions and countermeasures.,But now it's all the best that can be remedied under the premise that the final impact can't be determined.,If Reiner is also a giant.,So how strong would he be?

Ani's strength, I've seen it in the comics, Allen, who didn't fully grasp the power of the giant, wasn't even Ani's opponent, and even if he defeated Ani later, it was largely due to Mikasa's help and group siege, if it was one-on-one, maybe it was unknown who would kill the deer.

Then Reiner's strength is estimated to be at least not too far behind Ani, time passes little by little, although Lin Xiu has improved to the fastest level of his speed, but it is still not something that can be caught up in a moment, and the two in front of him also know very well that once they are caught up by Lin Xiu, what awaits them will inevitably be a cruel punishment.

They really knew what despicable means would be used to deal with the captives of such a thing as entering the enemy camp. "Damn, Hoover. Put me down. He must be killed here. ”

Reiner knew that Lin Xiu already knew his secret. Then the training corps will inevitably not be able to continue to hide, and now the only way to survive is to escape to the periphery of the city wall, where is the world of giants, once it reaches the periphery of the city wall, it is completely high in the sky and let the birds fly.

But at the thought that Lin Xiu had mastered so many of their secrets, and even kept playing with them in the palm of his hand, Reiner completely lost his cool and wanted to deal with him here.

"Reiner. Calm down.

Even if we kill him now, we won't be able to evacuate safely, you know, it took us five years to investigate that hole. β€œ

Hoover ignored Reiner's shouting, grabbed his body and persuaded loudly, but Lin Xiu's figure behind him was constantly approaching, and if it continued like this, it was only a matter of time before he caught up with them.

"You're wrong, Hoover, I haven't lost my cool."

Reiner's voice suddenly fell silent. There was no blood surge like before, and such a change made Hoover next to him a little stunned. Fortunately, a sneer appeared on the corner of Reiner's mouth, and he continued to speak.

"That hole is the perfect time for us to take advantage of, isn't it? , the walls of Mary have been lost, and now there are only some members of the training corps here, and the defense is simply not enough, if we open that hole now"

When Reiner said this, his eyes had begun to beat non-stop, if he opened the Roset City Wall at this moment, he would naturally receive unexpected results, but Hoover was still a little hesitant.

"Open now?"

As if he weren't sure, Hoover was taken aback by Reiner's idea.

"What? Don't forget what they did, and make it clear what we should do, and sacrifice for the ultimate goal is something we should have been prepared for, right? ”

Seeing that Hoover was a little hesitant, Reiner naturally guessed that it might be that he couldn't bear to attack these partners of the Survey Corps, you must know that five years is not a short time, let alone Hoover, even Reiner himself killed his companions, which made it difficult for him to be ruthless for a while.

"Hu ...... Nonsense, I naturally know, it's just that you've been hit hard now, so is it really okay to use the Armored Giant in such a situation?

And don't forget, what that woman told us during the day, Historia was the key to our actions. β€œ

Hoover still used other excuses to persuade Reiner, hoping that he would use this to dispel this idea, and it would be too cruel for him to fight his partner until he had to do it as a last resort.

"Hmph, you don't have to worry about my injury, although it can't last too long, but if you just open a hole in the wall, you can still do it, which is exactly the purpose of our development of the armored giant for so many years.

As for Historia, it would be good if they left it to themselves, now open the city wall, there will be a large influx of giants, this kind of chaos at the moment will not catch the survey corps off guard at all, and those old men who are hiding inside the city wall of Hina will not care too much about these civilians outside the city at all, they do not dare to order all the troops to fight outside the city wall.

But think about it, if that hateful instructor breaks our plan, the defense of the Rosse Wall will definitely be strengthened at that time, and we will not be able to continue to lurk inside to do internal responses, and it will be even more difficult to replace the Fortress of Cairo, don't you want to go back to your hometown? β€œ

Reiner's tone intensified as he spoke, and at the mention of his hometown, Hoover could no longer assert his opinion.

"I know you don't want to do anything with these guys, and I don't want to, but there's no way around it, anyway, we're just going to open the hole in Rose's wall, and the rest will be left to fate."

Reiner's body is no longer enough to sustain a protracted battle, and what he can barely do now is to open the walls of Rossy, and when he heard Reiner say this, Hoover could only nod his head helplessly.

At this time, the sky was already white, and a night was spent in the process of chasing me, Lin Xiu could already see Reiner and Hoover at this time, but he already had a bad premonition in his psychology, the two of them had arrived near the Rossi city wall, but did not continue to run forward. Instead, she turned to look directly at him.

If Ani can transform into a giant. And what about Reiner, who was with him? I'm afraid that more than 90% of them also have the secret that they can transform into giants.

Lin Xiu's strength has been improved to a certain extent after coming to this world. But if he fought against the giants of the strange species, Lin Xiu's psychology was not completely sure.

Just as his brain was thinking about these questions, there was a loud "bang" out of thin air, it seemed that the earth trembled, Lin Xiu grabbed the rope that flew out, hung it in the air, and looked at the Rosser city wall from afar, his brows gradually locked.

Smoke flies. Gradually, it slowly dispersed, revealing a crimson armored giant, whose oversized body seemed to be so small that humans were like ants in front of him.

The armored giant watched Lin Xiu's figure slowly turn around, and did not pursue in his direction, but kept approaching the Rossi city wall, and suddenly waved his fist, and with a loud bang, the rubble flew over, in the desolate and exclamatory shouts of the human race. A large hole was broken in the walls of Rosse.

The scene of the wall of Mary was played out again.

Huge numbers of giants continued to pour in, and humans began to flee for their lives. Three meters high, five meters high, eight meters high, ten meters high......

Giants swarmed in, and five years after the fall of the walls of Mary, humans were once again able to see the horrors of giants.

Every time they step out, they can step on a house, every wave of their hand can take away a large area of life, and the cries, horrors, and vigilances have become the main theme of this dawn for a while.

"Alertβ€”"

"All the personnel went to the Rossi city wall to defend, and the giant appeared"

"All Reserve Training Corps are on attack"

The hurried footsteps, the hanging pencil sharpener, the three-dimensional maneuvering device filled with ammonia, everything is in a race against time, every minute of hesitation, a large number of lives will be taken away, and every second giants will pour into the city wall from the broken hole.

"Personnel who have no combat effectiveness, evacuate quickly, evacuate to the walls of Sheena, quickly"

Rapid commands, accompanied by hoarse sounds and skyrocketing fires, were hurried, but the time for these orders was still too slow.

Many members of the training corps have never seen what kind of horror the giants are, looking at the huge body, strange faces, horror has been written in their hearts for a while, they have not fantasized about fighting with giants, after all, from the day they entered the training corps, this is the goal of their training.

The skills of fighting have long been familiar, and the words about the weakness of the giant, the distance of more than a meter wide on the back and neck, are still in my ears.

They once fantasized about the scene of slashing the giant, and fantasized about becoming a hero and winning the battle with the giant, returning triumphantly, watching the people who passed by give them flowers and applause-

Such a dream, it seems that in the past five years, non-stop or occasionally, have appeared in their minds, and even they have imagined the scene of their battle with the giant after achieving some results, although it is terrifying, but they are not lacking in courage, but it is not until the moment they see it with their own eyes that they find that there is such a big gap between fantasy and reality.

Looking at the huge figure, constantly wailing the stump and severed arm that they chewed in their mouths, it seemed that they had seen how miserable and desolate the scene before their death should be, heroes and faith were far less important than life at this moment.

"I'm still stunned, why don't you go and kill those monsters."

No matter how much they urged, many of the training corps personnel were still unmoved, their hands holding pencil sharpeners began to tremble, and they couldn't help but retreat backwards.

"Hurry up, hurry up, we have to buy time for everyone to transfer"

The officer kept urging, but all he saw were faces full of horror and slight ridicule......

"Fighting such a monster?"

"Just kidding"

"Going to die"

There were more and more such voices, and finally a large number of training soldiers began to break up and flee, the moment they looked at the giant, they had lost the courage to fight, the fear of death no longer filled their hearts all the time, those once beautiful fantasies, at this moment have dissipated without a trace, perhaps at this moment, they have all grown up, clear what fear is, clear how beautiful life is.

And a few figures on the other side. But they are doing different things.

"Alan. I want you to live. Don't go to the front"

Mikasa grabbed Allen's wrist and hurriedly dissuaded him, but was impatiently thrown away by Allen.

"That's enough, Mikasa, don't always restrain me like an elder."

Alan turned around suddenly, his eyes contained monstrous battle intent and anger, why did he join the training corps, wasn't it just so that one day he could slaughter this group of beasts with his own hands.

The scene of his mother's tragic death kept appearing before his eyes every night, and the blood-stained and desperate pupils lingered like a nightmare.

"I'm going to put themβ€”

Get out of here forever. Blood debt and blood repayment! β€œ

Brought his own three-dimensional mobile device and picked up the pencil knife, at this moment, there was no longer something called fear in his body, the world was already bright red, he couldn't even wait to use the steel knife in his hand to tear those figures to pieces, all along, he had been looking forward to such a day for too long, and finally at this moment, he could let go and do it.

Historia was running in a hurry. She was sent to the reinforcement force, and the team fighting in front of her was already engaged in a battle with the giants. Their three-dimensional maneuvers may run out of kinetic energy at any time, and their task is to transfer these sufficient stereoscopic maneuvers into their hands.

Sasha has been transferred ahead of schedule because of her injury, although she is extremely reluctant, but the first thing as a soldier is to obey orders, but the assistant who has been following the instructor seems to have other plans.

Historia's mind is now in a mess, she still doesn't understand why Reiner kidnapped her, why the giant suddenly appeared, these inextricable things don't have a clue at all, and the instructor called Lin Xiu, his skills are so superb, and that cold eyes, as if he knew him for the first time.

I am afraid that she has encountered more things this night than she has spent in the past five years combined, but when she saw the scene of the giant figure appearing, she still felt extremely frightened, although the things she usually trained were still in her mind.

"Oh no, found out."

Heatolia's mind was so confused with other things that she had overlooked that several giants were thinking in her direction.

"What to do, what to do."

It was the first time she had encountered such a scene, although she had been ready to fight the giants for the life since the day she joined the training corps, but when the moment it really came, she was so scared that she wanted to cry.

stumbling through the alleys and streets, fortunately, there are three-dimensional maneuvers, so that her body can leap into the air to speed up her movement, otherwise she would have been slapped to the ground by those huge palms by now.

But even so, her heart was still filled with panic.

"Historia!"

Not far away, Yumir's voice suddenly came, she was now dressed in a strong suit, and she was standing above the eaves and calling anxiously and loudly in her direction.

"It's Ymir, that's great."

The moment Historia saw Ymir, she only felt that her heart had returned to where it should have been, and she moved faster and faster in the direction of Ymir.

"Ahh

At this moment, suddenly a giant waved his hand and broke the rope of her three-dimensional motorized device, causing her body to fall from the air, and with a scream, she rolled on the ground without stopping, fortunately there was no obstacle on it, otherwise this blow would definitely make her head bleed.

"Oops"

Struggling from the ground, Historia was stunned to find that the three-dimensional mobile device on his body had also been ripped out just after the giant had attacked him.

Looking at the huge figures that wanted to keep walking by themselves, Historia's pupils began to dilate.

"Are you going to die here? I'm scared."

Such thoughts lingered in her heart, and although Ymir was very anxious, there was still a certain distance between the two, and even if she came with all her strength now, she might not be able to save Historia from the giant's mouth.

The giant's figure slowly lowered, and his mouth full of saliva was already close to Historia's face, and at this moment, Historia was already crying in horror.

The whole world seems to be obscured by this huge face and disappears.

"Who can save me?"

Like a drowning child, she murmured softly, however. It seemed that the voices and media of the world were cut off from her at this moment.

"Huh"

A silver light streaked through thin air. It's like a blade that can cut through the darkness. Cut open the huge figure and make the whole world go round.

"Boom"

With a series of blades, Ymir, Historia, and even many of the training corps academies who rushed over all widened their eyes and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

"That figure...... Is it our instructor? ”

It seems that everyone can't accept the fact that this is already a certainty in front of them, and his blade is extremely sharp. The shuttle figure is like a spinning top that spins rapidly among the giants, but each shuttle represents the fall of a giant, until there is no longer a standing giant by Historia's side.

"Instructor!"

At this moment, Historia felt that her whole heart was filled with this figure, and she knelt on the ground, looking from the bottom up at the figure standing on the shoulders of the giant, that delicate and cold face, filling everyone's heart, this is the instructor they wanted to whip a hundred times. At this moment, his figure is so full of yearning.

"Hey. I'm afraid it's not okay to only cry when I see a giant, I haven't usually taught you that. ”

As if joking, the handsome man struck himself on the shoulder with the back of his knife.

"Yes, yes instructor."

Histeria wiped her tears with her sleeve, but she still couldn't seem to stop the tears that welled up in her eyes.

"Can you still fight the giants?"

Lin Xiu jumped off the giant's shoulder, and with the movement of his figure, the giant also fell to the ground softly like an inflatable doll that had been pulled out of its skeleton.

"Good...... So handsome! β€œ

"That's right, this is our instructor, the instructor is so handsome!"

Many people, standing on the eaves and looking at Lin Xiu's figure, first sighed, and slowly turned into cheers.

"Well, I can, just...... I don't know why, I still want to cry, I've been mentally prepared for it a long time ago, but why, why can't I fight like an instructor, I'm useless. ”

Hystoria mustered up courage in the previous sentence, but then, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop the tears that welled up in her eyes.

"Huh"

Lin Xiu was amused by this little girl's self-statement, are you afraid, who can be completely immune to such a cruel scene, how can he really forget what fear is, but there are too many reasons to force him to forget these fears.

Historia suddenly felt Lin Xiu's hand press on her head, and pressed down hard, at that moment, she felt like the sun was shining all over her body, warm and full of security.

"Now, do you know what courage is?"

Feeling the residual warmth on Lin Xiu's palm, he couldn't raise his head, he could only hear the endless screams, but he couldn't see the world clearly, thinking about those cruel giants.

"Probably those who dare to fight the giants, like instructors."

Heatolia couldn't find a better language to answer this question for a while, and could only ambiguously think that a person like Lin Xiu, who could completely ignore the existence of giants, could be regarded as having courage.

"Courage never refers to those who don't cry."

Lin Xiu had already withdrawn his palm as he spoke, and slowly walked towards the giant farther away with his two pencil sharpeners, and his words clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Courage refers to those who, even when they cry, are still willing to run towards their dreams."

Suddenly, he turned around, as if standing on the other side of the sun, and waved to them.

"Don't forget, you were born into this world, and if you want to see more beautiful scenery, pick up your knife and drive them out."

He picked up the pencil sharpener in his hand and pointed at the wanton giants in the distance, and at that moment, he seemed to have become a real giant.

"Yes, we will keep running, running to the other side of the world."

Behind him, it was the children who had just lost their courage that sounded, and at this moment, from the hazy tears, Historia seemed to really see the world, the whole world. (To be continued.) )
