Chapter 178: The curtain opens
At dusk, in the small square of the headquarters of the training corps, the graduates of the 104th training corps stood there in groups of three or five, waiting for the arrival of the regimental selection ceremony that they should have carried out a long time ago.

Just last night, they gathered together the bodies of their comrades who had died in the defense of the Tolost district, burned them in fire, and then packed their ashes together and sent them to the catacombs that the government had opened up a long time ago.
Because of the preciousness of the land within the walls, the government had little reason to open up cemeteries for those who had died, and did not allow others to find a place to bury them without permission, so they dug up more underground garbage dumps than catacombs in various places, and hastily buried the ashes that had been cremated over the years.
In this case, it is almost impossible for the living to go to the cemetery to mourn the deceased, not to mention that the guards of the cemetery will stop you, and you don't even know the location of the burial of the deceased's ashes, and you don't know which pile of ashes to be buried together.
It can be said that this kind of death that doesn't even know where your relatives are buried is quite sad, which makes these training soldiers who have experienced that tragic battle even more resistant to death, and the thoughts in many people's hearts have completely changed.
Before the defense of the Toloster District, some of the people who had spoken that they would join the Survey Corps with Chen Yan and Allen retreated, and they stood in the square at this time without mentioning their previous thoughts, but tried to pretend to smile no different from usual, talking about the life of joining the Garrison Corps in the future, and the position was deliberately far away from the people who still wanted to join the Survey Corps on Chen Yan's side.
Of course, there are those who retreat, and naturally there are those who are conscious.
As in the original book, the Battle of Tolost changed Jean's mind about joining the Gendarmerie Corps, and gave him the idea of joining the Survey Corps.
The reason for his change is no different from that in the original book, the main reason is that Marco, who has a good relationship with him on weekdays.
It's just that unlike in the original book, the current Marco did not overhear the conversation between Reiner and Berthold as in the original book, which led to his three-dimensional mobile device being seized by these two warriors, and died very aggrieved and innocently in the mouth of the giant, but with the help of Chen Yan, he is still alive and kicking in this world.
"Huh? You're going to join the Survey Corps? ”
Hearing Marco's words, Connie, who was crouching on the ground, was stunned, wondering if his ears had misheard.
"That's right, since I got rid of many giants with Chen Yan that day, I realized that it was more honorable to be a soldier of the Survey Corps to open up the future for mankind than to be a soldier of the Gendarmerie Regiment to guard the king's side, so I decided to join the Survey Corps.
As for Jean, he seemed to be inspired by me, so he ...... too"
Marco scratched his cheeks shyly, lowered his head slightly, and looked at the ground, as if he felt a little naïve about his past idea of being a little taken for granted.
As he was talking to himself about Jean's reasons for joining the Survey Corps, he was interrupted by Jean.
"Hey! Marco, I didn't have the same idea because you were joining the Survey Corps, you have to be clear, I made this decision entirely out of my own mind. ”
Jean crossed his arms and glanced at Marco with some dissatisfaction.
It's just that his face is a little redder than before, obviously because Marco has hit his heart, so he feels a little embarrassed.
"That's great, Marco, let, you two have killed several giants in the battle in the Torloster District, and you will definitely be a very reliable combat force in the Survey Corps!"
Armin was very happy, and he was naturally relieved to have more reliable companions to join the Survey Corps with them.
"Humph! Anyway, no matter how reliable it is, it's not as important as that guy......"
It seemed that Alin thought of Alan through him, and let him snort stupidly, with a faint sour taste in his words.
"Huh."
Armin laughed helplessly, and still didn't deal with Alan much, which really made him speechless.
"Anyway, Jean, Marco, it's good that you two can join the Survey Corps with us, na, you say yes, Chen Yan?"
After learning about his plan from Chen Yan, Sasha knew very well that those who wanted to join the Survey Corps would be reused by the new government in the future, and now that the two of them had unknowingly chosen a brighter future, she was naturally happy for this comrade who had been in the training camp for three years and was also fighting side by side in the defense of the Toloster District.
"Of course, Jean, Marco, I'm a little impressed with you."
Chen Yan was really a little surprised at this time, but he didn't expect Marco and Jean to give up the idea of joining the Gendarmerie Corps all along, and instead prepared to join the Investigation Corps, which he didn't expect in advance.
"As long as you don't think of me as someone like the guy who rushed to reincarnate, I'm much more rational than him."
Jean nodded his forehead, a smug smile on his face.
The corners of Chen Yan's mouth raised, and he also evoked a smile.
Just as he wanted to continue gossiping, he heard the instructor's shout ringing in the square.
"Train soldiers, line up! Line up in front of the podium, line up in front of the podium......"
"Let's go!"
Chen Yan shrugged his shoulders and led everyone to line up according to the instructor's instructions.
The 104th training soldiers waited for a long time until the sun went down, and the instructors planted torches around the square, and Alwin, who was belated, finally stood on the podium.
"I'm Alvin Smith, the head of the Survey Corps."
Under the light of the dancing fire, Alwin looked directly at all the training soldiers in the audience, his straight body looked different kind of resolute at this time, and there seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes.
"On this day when I want to choose the legion to which I belong today, what I want to say, to put it bluntly, is to persuade you to join the investigation corps, under the attack of the giants this time, you must have known the horror of the giants......
Knowing what kind of image the survey corps led by him was in the minds of most of the trainers, Alvin did not say anything nice about the scene, but said it very straightforwardly, including a series of plans to recover the wall of Mary in the future and explore the secrets of the basement of Alen's house built in the Higanshina district, and told these trainers without hesitation.
It's just that when he was speaking, there was a light in the depths of his eyes that was difficult for ordinary people to detect, and he obviously had a plan in his heart that these trainers didn't know. (To be continued.) )
