Ian led Heatheria into the tent, and in order to rush the work, everyone in the factory lived in the tent, usually ten people crammed into a tent, sleeping on the ground with straw and tarps.

But this one was different, there was only one bed in this tent, and it was still a shelf bed nailed out of wood.

This was a tent for Her Royal Highness, and the surrounding tents were inhabited by soldiers from the Survey Corps, and Ian's tent was also here, and he, like Hesteria, had a tent on his own, as he needed a workbench and an environment that was as quiet as possible.

"This is the room for you, Heatheria." Ian said, "Ask if there's anything you want to ask, and I'll explain it for you." ”

"Ian... How did you survive? Did those people let you go? ”

"Before the incident, I knew that the gendarmerie would come, so I kept preparing, and I tried to hide it from the gendarmes and survived."

"Why... You want to bring me here? Heatheria looked up.

"Because we need you, Heatheria." Ian looked directly into her jeweled eyes: "You are the daughter of the Reis family, the princess, we plan to overthrow the current government, so we need you to be our spokesperson." ”

"Does Ian want me to be that spokesperson?" Heatheria looked seriously into Ian's eyes.

"Of course I hope it would be a lot harder without you, but whether or not to do it, Heatheria, is a matter for you to decide." Ian stretched out his hand and brushed away a lock of hair from Heatheria's ear: "At this point, I can finally say these things to you, you are free, you don't need to do things according to other people's thoughts." ”

"But I still want you to help us, it's a request as a friend."

"Are we friends?"

"I'd love to be your friend."

"That's... Can Ian tell me how you survived in this world? You tell me, and I'll do you a favor. ”

"It's something that can't be described in words." Ian stroked her head, "But... You can use these eyes to see if we are on the right side. ”

"I see." Heatheria nodded her little head: "Then I'll give you an answer when I see it clearly, okay?" ”

"Absolutely." Ian smiled.

"Can I stay with you?" Heatria asked in a whisper.

"If that's what you want to do."

"Thank you."

...

Ian had a little more attendant by his side, and Heatheria really stayed by his side all the time, observing the place very carefully, listening to what everyone had to say.

She wondered why Ian and the Survey Corps were trying to overthrow the government, if it would kill a lot of people, and if that would be a good thing or a bad thing, and when she came here, she tried to think on her own.

She slowly got the answers to these questions from the mouths of the workers and soldiers.

As the workers finished their bread and chatted, about their homeland, about their departed relatives, about the injustices they had received, Heatheria seemed to come to understand what kind of people the aristocracy was, and of the suffering that many were suffering.

Giants, food scarcity, privileged treatment of the nobility...

There are so many irrational places in this world, and there are still so many people who suffer the same as her.

This is what Ian and the Survey Corps want to change, she looks at Ian's figure of solving the puzzles of the workers during the day, watching Ian work hard at night to draw drawings and check the sweat of parts, and gradually understands how Ian survives in this world.

She wondered if she could survive like that.

...

Inside the tent, a military meeting is taking place.

"Due to the difficulty of transporting materials, iron ore and gunpowder are somewhat insufficient, but now the number of rifles manufactured has been more than 400, the workers are almost familiar with the production process, and the parts made in the early stage have also been put into use, according to the current speed, almost 30 whole guns can be produced every day, and 300 bullets can be produced, which is enough to arm our existing troops."

"What about the Gendarmerie Corps and the royal capital? How's it going? ”

"Very bad, although we disposed of the corpses of the gendarmes, and from the interrogation we knew that the gendarmes came because of the anomalies in the transportation of iron ore and food, but probably because the dead gendarmes have not been in contact for a long time, the government has begun to control the survey corps, most of the compatriots in the royal capital, have been locked up, and some of the gendarmes have been sent to investigate, the number is about 120, once they are caught, I am afraid... The people of the royal capital will be immediately executed for the crime of rebellion. ”

"Damn... Do you have to do it in advance? Hanji hammered the table.

The government and the nobility were even sharper than Hanji thought, they could not tolerate a grain of sand in their eyes, and did not intend to give the Survey Corps a chance to make a detour, and the slightest possibility of rebellion would be wiped out in the cradle.

I don't know whether to praise those people or scold, but when it comes to their own interests, they are so clever that when the wall is destroyed, the order to close the wall is quickly issued, and for this reason they cut off a considerable part of the refugees from living.

"Let's do it! Captain Hanji! Ian also proposed, "It's a bit risky, but we can blitzkrieg!" The gendarmes are all elite and few in number, and we can take advantage of the fact that they have never seen new weapons to quickly occupy the royal capital! ”

"I can't help it." Hanji let out a sigh: "Commander Erwin has already talked secretly with Commander Pixis, and Commander Pixis will turn a blind eye to this incident until the "government orders". ”

Although I don't know what Erwin said, Pixis has not fully joined the camp here, and the old fritter is still waiting, probably planning to help whichever side is beneficial.

All problems must be solved before the nobles issue orders, otherwise they will face the encirclement and suppression of the garrison corps.

Hanji had heard about the power of the new weapon, but... She was still a little worried, and besides, she didn't want to kill too many people.

Woo——!!!

The sound of trumpets tore through the night, and everyone looked outside the tent.

This was a signal of an enemy attack, and the heavily armed gendarmes came to the door.

"Ready for battle!" Hanji immediately ordered.

The soldiers picked up assault rifles with three-dimensional motorized devices hanging from their waists.

The factory was specially built in a dense forest, which was planned for the moment, in order to facilitate the use of three-dimensional motorized devices.

They walked through the night, gunshots rang out, and their figures were like ghostly deaths.
