The next day.

At this time, before the sky was completely light, Thrall had already led the vanguard to prepare and rode his horse at the gate of the city.

Yesterday Erwin issued a series of orders, the speed of the corps leaders are very fast, at this time Erwin has almost arrived at the Wall of Sheena to see the president, Levi also took his team to disperse to the garrison corps and the gendarmerie to check and spy on the recruits, only Sal's side should be out of the wall expedition, there are too many materials to prepare, so it dragged on for a day.

The crowd waited at the city gate for more than ten hours, and at the end of the street, the recruits who had just joined the Survey Corps were leading twenty wagons full of supplies.

The recruits who joined the Survey Corps this time were all gathered, and the number was about eighty, although not much less than the number of Thrall's vanguard, but considering their pitiful combat effectiveness, he decided that they would be responsible for the care and protection of supplies, and at the same time take care of all the logistics along the way.

When the recruits came to the front, and the elite of the survey corps who led the team reported to him and left, Sal took a general glance at the recruits, and saw that except for a small number of people, whose faces were still not very good-looking because of extreme nervousness, most of the rest were actually full of anticipation, and except for Allen, who had been attributed to Levi's command, Mikasa, Elmin, Helista, Yuniel, Sasha, Connie, and the girl named Catherine who he had saved before were all listed among them.

"Let's go!"

At this time, all the men and horses have converged, Sal did not have much nonsense, directly ordered loudly, and then ordered the garrison of the garrison to open the city gate that had not yet been repaired, and immediately turned the horse's head and rushed out, the vanguard immediately followed, a group of people left in the dust, and the recruits in the rear hurriedly escorted the carriage to follow, with a look of excitement and expectation, although their horsemanship was not good, but at this time the vanguard was deliberately slowing down, and they could barely keep up.

Nearly two hundred people came out of the city gate and ran on the plain, and then slowly converged into one, heading into the distance, and looked quite imposing.

Sal knows very well that even if he finds traces of a large number of giants this time, these recruits with little actual combat experience will not be of much use, and this time he brought them out to train them, especially the soldiers of the vanguard under his command are all top in strength, and they can definitely set a good example, and at the same time have enough ability to protect them, and second, that is, let him check one by one on the way, find out that there may be a 'internal annihilation' outside the wall...... It's just that he's familiar with the plot, but he doesn't worry much about this second point.

Thrall's destination was clear, that is, the ape-giant's lair outside the walls of Mary, and he led the people in a straight line until it was getting dark, and only then found a suitable place to set up camp, set up a tent, and make a fire to cook.

These chores are naturally done by the recruits, and the soldiers of the vanguard are responsible for the surrounding vigilance--- although a large number of giants are nowhere to be seen, but the scattered guys still exist, and today the road will meet two heads of three meters to the recruits to 'practice', if it is because of carelessness, suddenly pop out of a 'little guy' to let it raid is not good.

The interest of the recruits is very high, it can be said that since they were born, they are the first time to go out of the wall, put themselves in the shoes of this natural scenery, and there is no danger, there is a strong vanguard around them, naturally there is no worries, in the tent, fire cooking busy at the same time, has been chatting and laughing, words are full of anticipation and novelty, especially those young female recruits, silver bell-like laughter, Like a yellow warbler in spring, shuttling between the camps, the vanguard soldiers who were full of murderous aura in Pingyu were infected by this wonderful atmosphere, and their faces softened a lot.

There was a harmonious atmosphere in the camp.

When Miller and Thatch led people to drag a dozen wild boars out of the forest not far away, the atmosphere in the camp reached **!

"Eat barbecue!"

"It's a picnic! ~”

"Come, come, let me come! Waiting to taste my craft! ~”

After a burst of commotion, the nearly two hundred people in total divided into small circles, and more bonfires were lit one after another, adding a touch of warmth to the slightly cold night.

Under the show of skills of the chefs from all walks of life, it didn't take long for the camp to hear the tempting smell of barbecue, and the wild boar that had already been skinned and gutted was slowly rotated on the iron shelf, coated with various colors of oil, golden and bright, very tempting, and the people who had been on the road all day naturally couldn't bear it, and they feasted happily.

After walking around the camp a few times, Sal greeted Mira and the others and came to Mikasa's side.

Mikasa was sitting around with Helista, Elmin, Yuniel, Sasha, Connie, and Catherine, and when she saw Sal coming, her poker face, which seemed to have remained unchanged for thousands of years, showed a rare hint of warmth and said, "Are you here, tired?" ”

Although everyone walked the same path along the way, as the team leader, he often needed to patrol the front and back of the team to reorganize, but he was much busier than others.

"Get used to it."

Smiling, Sal shook his head and sat down next to her, first casually greeting everyone present, and then turned to Mikasa and whispered, "I didn't have time to talk to you all day today, so I'm not angry, right?" ”

Smiling sweetly, Mikasa shook his head, and handed him a skewer of skewered wild boar in his hand, Sal was naturally unceremoniously, took it and took a bite, the meat was grilled just right, and it was not fishy at all with all kinds of ingredients, and the taste was extremely beautiful.

Looking at Sal, who was feasting, except for Sasha, a foodie girl who was holding a whole wild boar leg and gnawing violently, the surrounding circle of people was different.

Elmin, who had not been seen for a long time, smiled kindly, Catherine looked shy and adoring, staring at Sal with bright eyes, wanting to take the initiative to say hello, but she didn't know how to speak, and suddenly she couldn't even care about the fragrant barbecue in her hand, and looked panicked.

Connie on the side looked at Catherine and Sal left and right, with a look of frustration and taste that could not be hidden, and on the other side, Eunicle's expression was similar, and there was a trace of 'hatred' in his expression--- at this moment, Helista, who was like a goddess under the moon, looked at Sal and his eyes were almost overflowing.

But Yuniel was wrong this time, Helista's eyes were about to overflow at this time, yes, but the situation was not as she imagined--- the water vapor swirling in her eyes was purely rushed!

Sure enough, after only a short moment of struggle, Helista rustled and called, "Sa, Saar? ”

"Huh?"

Hearing the call, Sal, who was chatting with Mikasa and eating at the same time, answered vaguely.

"That...... Reiner and Berthold Things...... Have you heard? ”

Helista asked pitifully with a wink of her big aqua blue eyes, and although she saw that the person she liked was talking and laughing with other women, this kind girl still asked the topic of worrying about others first.

Reiner and Berthold are mature and steady, the other honest and docile, the relationship in this small circle is very good, and everyone sincerely regards the two as friends.

"They disappeared early yesterday morning, and I heard the veterans of the Corps talk about it...... Captain Erwin concluded that the two of them were the oversized giants and armored giants who had died outside the walls the night before......" Helista said weakly, "but we all know best what kind of people Reiner and Berthold are!" All of us can vouch for them! If we want to say that they are the culprits who have been plagued mankind all along, we are definitely the first to not believe it! Sal, you've been with everyone before, can you ...... Can you talk to Captain Erwin and don't charge them with this crime yet...... Look for ...... Maybe, maybe it was quietly captured by the real bad guys?? ”

The more he talked, the more anxious he became, and the weak voice before gradually became louder, not only the people in their circle, but even some of the recruits around him heard the movement here, and couldn't help but quiet down.

Finally, when she finished speaking, the tears in her eyes finally fell uncontrollably, and it was like a person who wanted to come forward to pity her, and at the same time, except for Mikasa, the faces of the rest of the people showed a sad look.

Sal, however, was unmoved.

He chewed the wild boar in his mouth and swallowed it, looked up expressionlessly and swept over everyone's faces, and then asked, "Guarantee?" What kind of guarantee do you take? ”

Sal's voice was a little cold.

"In order to determine the identity of those two brutes, the top of the corps has made great efforts! How can it be so easy to speculate? To tell the truth, just before yesterday, Erwin and I had been suspicious for a long time, and although the corpses of the two giants in the woods outside the wall had been charred black, we could still make out two human corpses with a very similar body to them from the wreckage......"

Hearing this, Helista exclaimed in a panic, "But this is not certain......"

"No, but!" Thrall said angrily: "Everyone knows that those two giants are lurking among us like Ani, and the legion has conducted a thorough investigation of all the soldiers in the city all night since yesterday!" Not only that, but even the church and the nobility, and even all the commoners! They were all thoroughly checked from house to house! But...... Only the two of them disappeared, you say it's not them, who is it!? ”

As soon as these words came out, Hrista finally choked, and they didn't know about the investigation corps' actions to investigate the manpower all night, but now when they heard Sal talk about it, a chill appeared in their hearts, although they still subconsciously felt that the 'internal annihilation' would not be Reiner and Berthold, but they couldn't help but think 'Is it really them'.

If so, then it is...... It's horrible......

Standing up suddenly, Thrall was in no mood to stay here any longer, and he still maintained such a childish and ridiculous concern for his enemy, who owed a lot of blood debts, whether he knew anything or not, and it really made him feel bad.

"I can tell you for sure that we didn't wrong those two brutes! Knowing the face but not the heart...... Khlista, remember to see the people around you well in the future......"

With that remark, Sal turned to leave, and Mikasa, with a cold expression, then stood up and followed.

It's just that he didn't see the wonderful look on Unitier's face the moment he turned around......

Sal walked through the camp with Mikasa, and walked towards the woods not far away under the laughter of Miller and the others, as well as the depressed eyes of Mira and Anil, all of whom knew the relationship between their captain and Mikasa, so naturally they would not be bored and come forward to ask for anything, even the guards in that area retreated very interestingly, and the trainers on the other side of the camp could not manage it here.

"Mikasa, no matter who you see later, don't be impulsive."

After walking into the woods for a while, and when the noise in the camp behind him could no longer be heard, Sal gave a word to Mikasa, whose face was already slightly red, and he thought he wanted to vent something.

Mikasa was stunned when he heard this, and although he felt a little strange, he nodded and agreed obediently.

Looking around, Sal picked up Mikasa's body, unfolded the three-dimensional maneuver, and leaped to the trunk of a large tree in a few ups and downs.

After waiting for a moment, a small voice sounded, and as the voice approached, a slender figure finally appeared in their field of vision.

Because it was nighttime, Mikasa couldn't see the appearance of the person who came at all, and he could only slightly distinguish it by the moonlight through the leaves above his head, and this person was also wearing the uniform and cloak of the Survey Corps...... Looks like she's still a girl.

However, when the figure came to a near halt, Mikasa clearly saw the pretty face reflected in the moonlight.

"Are you...... Ani?!"

ps: Weakly ask for a recommendation.
