The Wall of Rouse, the Taurus District.

There was a gate to the Wall of Mary, and when the Wall of Mary was breached, a considerable number of refugees poured in from this side.

Now, two months after the wall was broken, most of the people who survived had entered the Rossay Wall.

But the gates of the city, which had been sealed, were opened today.

A group of men on horseback entered through the city gates, dressed in green wings of freedom, the insignia of the Survey Corps.

Elvin Smith, the head of the Survey Corps, led the elite of the Survey Corps to conclude the twenty-fourth extramural investigation,

Until 844, in the past 100 years, the people inside the walls had only conducted 23 extramural investigations, and after the wall of Mary was breached, Elvin Smith immediately led a team to the Higanshina area, where the city gate was breached, to conduct intelligence searches for the super-large giants and armored giants, as well as part of the refugee escort work.

As the detachment leader, Hanji set up a base of the Survey Corps in the Taurus area and was responsible for bringing in refugees.

After a month of waiting, Captain Erwin finally led the team back, and the short man who followed him was Captain Levi, who was known as the strongest soldier in the human race.

"How's it going out there?" Hanji stepped forward to lead Erwin's horse.

"No more." Erwin shook his head, "There are already giants everywhere, and when we arrived at the nearest village, we didn't find a single living person. ”

The horses at the back carried the people who died in this investigation, and they were lucky to be able to keep their bodies and be brought back to the walls compared to those who had been eaten by the giants.

"Really—" Hanji bolted his horse to the stake.

"How's the inside of the Rossay Wall? How does the government resettle refugees? "Erwin dismounted.

"Basically, let them fend for themselves, and the government has planned a development zone for refugees to reclaim wasteland." Hanji pushed his glasses: "Compared to this, what about the super-large giant and the Kai giant?" Do you have any news? ”

"You're still the same, only interested in giant things." Erwin didn't smile.

"Of course I'm interested in the sudden appearance of such a special child." Hanji smiled: "The giants that have been captured so far do not have the ability to communicate at all, they are full of only thinking about eating people, but those two children, it seems to be premeditated, I have been thinking these days, will there be a tribe of giants outside the wall?" In this world, there may be wise giants. ”

"I agree with you, but unfortunately, we didn't find the Oversized Giant or the Armored Giant." Erwin shook his head: "We only walked a third of the way as planned, there are too many giants, and there is no way to reach the Higanshina region. ”

"The original route is all about to be scrapped, and we have to start from scratch step by step, and we will explore the Higanshina area, and I am afraid it will take years to get there."

"It's a real headache." Hanji scratched his head: "How long will the next off-wall investigation be decided?" ”

"I'm afraid I'll have to wait a while." Erwin took off his cloak: "This investigation is an order assigned by the central government, and we have to go back and report first." ”

"Are you going to that nasty place again?" Hanji rubbed his temples, "You... Won't say .... Leave the report to me. ”

"Hanji, you're the only one here who has that ability." Erwin patted Hanji on the shoulder: "So please, we are going to leave tonight, please sort out the materials to be handed in before arriving in the royal capital." ”

"Erwin, you... It's really a demon..."Hanji shrugged helplessly.

"Thanks for the compliment." Erwin said lightly.

...

That night, the survey corps rode on horseback and rushed to the royal capital.

"Speaking of which, I've heard some interesting rumors." Hanji spoke loudly on his horse.

"Is it a giant again?" Levi snorted coldly: "You better put it away, go back to the wall, I don't want to entangle with those guys anymore." ”

"No, it's rumors about the Frontier." "In the afternoon, when I was sorting out the papers, I received a blueprint for a new farm implement, what should I say, it's called a waterwheel, you can imagine it like a windmill that spins in the water, and it can not only turn the mill like a windmill, but it can even automatically lead water to the farmland, thanks to that thing, the cultivation of the farmland seems to be going well, and the seeds have germinated." ”

"Hanji, let's get to the point." Erwin interjected: "Even then, that new farm tool won't let you bring it up now, what is so special behind the waterwheel?" ”

"It's still the head of the regiment who understands me." Hanji smiled: "Can you imagine? The drawing with precise data turned out to be drawn by a soldier named Hannes of the garrison corps, and not only that, but within half a month, he promoted the waterwheel to all the development areas. ”

"I've read the information about Hannis, he was a soldier in the 89th term, his performance in the military class was average, and he didn't get the top ten results after graduation, so he chose the garrison corps and was assigned to the Higanshina area, and six years later, he was promoted to squad leader because of his qualifications."

"No matter how you look at it, he is a mediocre person, although it is suspected of boasting about himself, but the ingenuity of that drawing, even me, it took me nearly half a day to study and understand the mystery behind its data, it is simply a perfect design, I can't find any fault."

"So I decided that the drawing could never have been painted by Hannes, and that none of the craftsmen in the walls could have created that drawing on their own."

"Even the first craftsman inside the wall said that... Looks like it's time to pay a visit to Captain Hannes. Erwin tugged at the reins.

"Go now?" Levi raised his hand and motioned for all the soldiers behind him to stop.

"Hanji, how long will it take to go to the Pioneer Land?" Erwin asked.

"If you're on horseback, you'll be there before midnight." Hanji said.

"Let's go." Erwin said, "Hanji, you lead the way in front. ”

"Leave it to me!" Hanji said excitedly.

"Is there no concern over there in the royal capital?" Levi asked.

"It doesn't matter, no matter how anxious the nobles are, the giants won't disappear." Erwin followed Hanji's back.

"Cut..."Levi smacked his lips and exclaimed, "All staff!" Change course and follow Captain Hanji! ”

"Yes!" A neat response came from behind him.

The sound of horses' hooves rained down, and their wings of freedom fluttered in the wind.
