9. Hardship

"I have been a soldier in the Survey Corps all my life, and the most dangerous one is the battle that I remember ten years ago! I thought it was just a simple exploration and capture mission, but I didn't expect to suddenly encounter a wave of giants that I had never seen before! I remember that at that time, our six squads plus the sixty people transferred from the headquarters, adding up to a team of nearly 100 people, were less than 50 people left after a day of encountering the giant tide...... The brave veterans who died, my brother, your uncle also died in that battle, if not for the ...... Eh, I don't think there will be any of you now...... Hehe......"

---------------------------- 857 A.D., a veteran soldier who had retired to a town said this to his children.

"Miller, Thatch, three meters away!"

"Layton, Anil, eight meters away!"

"Mira, get this strange beast with me!"

"Thrall! …… The rest is up to you! ”

Looking at the six-headed giant rushing towards him, Thatcher gave the order without any confusion, and after many brutal battles, this macho man with good leadership talent finally discovered the terrible, or reliable, of Sal.

From letting six team members, including himself, deal with the three-headed giant, and hand over the remaining three to Sal without any objections, it can be seen how much Sal's strength and status have changed in their minds!

Hearing Thatcher's battle order, Sal, who was standing on a twenty-meter-tall giant tree branch, sneered, pulled out the steel blade on his waist (Yandi system to huàn), and jumped up!

The three-dimensional maneuvering device was launched, and both of them were fixed on the right arm of a fifteen-meter-level giant at the head, and they sprinted! Then, with a beautiful roll in the air, he dodged the giant's palm, activated the three-dimensional maneuver again, fixed it at its spine, and then the steel rope contracted, and slashed when it came closer!

The huge force directly slammed the giant to the ground, and at the same time, it sliced off a piece of flesh the size of the upper body of a normal adult!

As soon as the giant fell, another giant jumped up and pounced on it with its mouth wide open like a vicious dog! It's the same kind of strange thing that Thatcher is dealing with!

This pounce was extremely sudden, and the speed was also extremely fast, but the inevitable Thrall did not panic in the slightest, but shot the steel cable into his collarbone part, and then the whole person swung his blade like a tornado to meet it!

Then...... Penetrate!

Yes, Sal's body bullet usually pierced this fifteen-meter-tall strange species directly through the chest, and the blade that danced out a burst of afterimage brought up a sky of blood!

With a "boom", the strange species also declared dead----- and at the same time as Sal pierced it, it came from the back of its neck, and now the giant no longer has a neck, to be precise.

Deftly landing, Thrall looked at his last target and strode towards it.

A three-meter-tall giant, this giant watched two people of the same kind who were much stronger than himself die at the knife of the human in front of him at an extremely fast speed, and instead of instinctively rushing directly forward, he retreated timidly as Thrall slowly approached.

With a sneer, Thrall leaned forward and ran towards him at a rapid pace, then savagely flew up and kicked the giant in the right shoulder before he could react, kicking the giant's entire body, which was several times his size, off the ground and spinning backwards!

When his body hit the ground, Thrall stomped on the ground again, saw the right time, and stabbed the giant who was spinning and flying upside down in the back of the neck!

"That's it."

Looking at the three-meter-level giant that had died in the air, Sal muttered.

Number of crusades: 3! Time: 7 seconds!

That's what he's capable of now!

After glancing at his teammates who were about to end the fight, and making sure there was no danger, Thrall opened the mission status bar:

World Mission: Defeat 10 million giants

Current Progress: 67/10000000.

Until now, the number of giants who have died at the hands of Thrall has reached a staggering sixty-seven! A number that can make even the elite who have been at the forefront of the Survey Corps for more than two years breathtaking!

It had been a month since Thrall first stepped out of the walls, and this time it was a short mission that had been scheduled for a day!

The reason is that on that day, they annihilated 10 15-meter giants at a slight cost of only 3 deaths and 9 minor injuries, and captured two giants!

This is the first time that the Survey Corps has captured a 15-meter-level giant alive, and the annihilation of ten heads is only a very small price, which is really a great success for the Survey Corps! …… Or rather, almost.

As the crowd was tying the giant back to the city in a chariot that had been tied together, they were met with a terrible scene.

When passing through an abandoned village, no less than forty giants suddenly came out of it, and the shocked people had to reluctantly throw the two giants they had caught and ran away with all their might, but before they could go out of a hundred meters, more than fifty giants appeared in the woods in front of them! Then, on the other side, there was also the movement of the giants marching collectively, helplessly, everyone had to be like a duck being driven, and the giants who were surrounded on three sides drove back to the edge of the jungle where they had fought before, and at the same time, under the pursuit of several strange species, they directly lost more than 30 people......

Then came the thousands of miles of escape of the Survey Corps! I don't know why, this time these giants seem to have identified them, although except for a few strange species of giants and can't keep up with the speed of the war horse, but the body of the war horse is limited, those giants seem to be tireless, everyone has to fight and retreat, trying to find a way to go back, and will find that those roads are blocked by a large number of giants!

The way back is broken!

It's as if someone is behind the scenes directing these brainless creatures! This was the idea of everyone in the Survey Corps at that time, although it was known that it was simply impossible.

Because the rations they carried with them were only enough for three days, so in the process of fleeing, everyone kept looking for abandoned villages, looking for resources and food that could be used, but the Wall of Mary had been under siege for more than two years, even if those families had a reserve of food, it was expired and rotten and inedible at this time, and the only useful thing was well-preserved bacon and well-sealed canned food, but where would ordinary people, especially those living in such rural towns, stock up on this kind of 'high-grade food'? It can only be found occasionally in places where you are relatively wealthy, or where you are a village chief.

After that, there was really no way, and people began to slaughter war horses and eat horse meat.

Until the horses were eaten, the people lost their original speed and had to spend the night in the jungle---- sleeping in the canopy of the giants.

In the end, after this period of torture, Rao was not afraid of life and death, and the elites of the Survey Corps, who were skilled, could no longer stand this huge torture and pressure, and the love called despair gradually sprouted in the hearts of everyone.

Until one day, after a fierce quarrel, a team leader and the head of the team, Thatcher, led his remaining four team members to return to the way they came----- where they were full of giants chasing them, these people couldn't stand the mental torture, and discussed going back to find death, Sal thought.

With the emergence of the first leader, the rest of the people also questioned Thatcher's leadership, and then a group of people left one after another, some made the same choice as the previous captain, and some chose their own route, and wanted to sneak back with the idea of luck...... Although there are not many people alive at this time.

In the end, Saar's side was left with only Thatcher's team.

"Sal, you kid is really getting more and more capable, even I have to be impressed by you."

"That's like a monster."

"Thanks to you...... But those people don't know what happened. ”

"Hey, don't talk about those bastards! Something that no one expected, I have to spill my anger on the captain's head! ”

"Forget it, Thatch, it's been so long."

"What! The captain is just too talkative......"

"How? If one of them survives, I'll write the word "Miller" upside down! ”

“……”

After the battle, Thrall and his party sat around the branch of a giant tree--- because the giant's activities need the support of the sun, the giant at night will appear weak, and the strength of all aspects has decreased, so several people have been rushing at night for the past few days, resting during the day, and at the same time avoiding fighting as much as possible---- the raw material liquid vapor of their three-dimensional mobile device is not enough.

"Captain, the village in front of you is my village."

After hastily filling their stomachs with a few pieces of half-cooked venison, Anielle pointed to a village a few kilometers away, which was not much smaller than the town, and said with a sad and nostalgic expression.

Her village is the destination of everyone's trip, to be precise, the cellar of her village.

Aniel's village was also attacked by giants after the wall of Maria was breached, and the whole family died, and it is said that her village was very wealthy compared to the rest of the villages and towns, and the people in the village were very good at hunting, and often made the prey they caught into bacon and sold it for money, and the surplus was stored in the cellar of the village house, of course, in addition to bacon, there were more or less canned things like that, and even a small amount of medicine!

However, these are not the main things, the important thing is that because of the wealth of their village, there are even small detachments of the garrison corps stationed there!

These are the things they desperately need right now! In order to safely return to the city walls again, there must be enough liquid vapor to keep the stereo motorized device running!

What's more, after a long period of escape and fighting, even Thrall, who has the blood of the Fire Phoenix, is a little unbearable, so it is necessary to have a good meal, and then find a safe place to sleep peacefully.

"There is no shadow of a giant nearby, so I can finally sleep peacefully." Thatcher looked in the direction that Anil was pointing, nodded and said, Rao is such an iron-boned tough guy, and he also looks tired at this time.

"Everyone is holding on, and after crossing those few low forests, you can reach your destination...... Hopefully there's some stock in the cellar you mentioned. ”

The kilometers were safe, and there was still no sign of the giant, and the people who had forcibly lifted their spirits soon found the so-called cellar under the guidance of Anil.

"I'll go! It's developed!! ”

The first one landed in the cellar, and Miller, who had the biggest personality, screamed wildly!

Everyone behind him entered, looking into the corner of the room.

Bacon, canned food, dried fish, medicines, these things occupy a space of four meters, and they are stacked on the ceiling!

Then everyone, including Sal, could no longer care about their usual image, and the hungry ghost rushed over like a reincarnation......
