Chapter 50: Mary's Plan for Repossession

The vertigo Alan was dug out of the back of the giant's neck by the soldiers, and the medical staff checked his physical condition, but the physical exertion was too much, and it was basically fine, even if it was in the way, the giant's power would continue to repair his body.

Men wore masks, counted the deaths, and tried to find one or two emblems that represented their identity among the debris.

Pixis listened to the eyewitnesses with a headache, and when the list of the dead was handed in, he even tried to pull his own hair vigorously, but his head was bare, and there was none.

A few days later, the affair was inevitably made public.

After all, so many high-powered nobles died, and there must be an explanation for their deaths.

All the blame for this incident was put on the giantess, and the cause of the incident was explained in this way.

Yani Reinhardt, this person is the same invader as the super-large giant and the armored giant, with the power of giants, after investigation, it is speculated that she came to the royal capital for Her Royal Highness, or for the power of the ancestors, she lurked in the team of pre-selected maids, in vain, trying to get close to the princess through this means, but because during the banquet, she felt that there was an opportunity, so she transformed into a giantess and launched an attack, and the military paid a heavy price, used a secret weapon, and finally captured her.

The aristocracy had no choice but to accept this report.

But in the following month, the property and power of these dead nobles were swallowed up by the Ian Chamber of Commerce with lightning speed.

Pixis is the head of the military and knows how to run the army, but he doesn't even know much about business.

While he struggled to investigate and deal with questioning, Ian used various means to integrate the chambers of commerce and labor unions in the royal capital.

The death of the nobles in the royal capital is not bad, the family is in chaos, and there are even only young children left in some families, and the small nobles do not have the ability to fight against the Ian Chamber of Commerce, the big fish eat the small fish, and in just half a month, eighty percent of the royal capital's industry has changed its name.

There were also many officers killed on the side of the army, and after annexing a large amount of property, Ian instructed Hannes to support Hannes' friends and acquaintances to take the position, and he privately bribed the relationship, so that he also had a say in the army, although not as good as Erwin and Pixis, but it was enough.

The general trend has been held in his hands.

A month after the Giantess incident, Elwin finally led the troops of the Survey Corps to end the twenty-fifth extramural investigation, and Elwin and Levi returned to the royal capital.

In April, it was a sunny day, and the spring in the royal capital was just right.

The people on the street were full of smiling faces, and after the Ian Chamber of Commerce controlled part of the right to speak, they gave up a lot of profits to benefit the masses, and the prices in the royal capital dropped a lot, and the part of the productive forces exploited by the nobles was returned to ordinary residents by Ian.

Everyone's quality of life has obviously improved, and the smiles on their faces have naturally increased.

In Pixis's office, Erwin sits on the couch and reads materials on the events of the giantess.

"There are several doubts about this incident."

Pixis stood up and drew the curtains.

"First of all, it is the origin of Yani Reinhardt, from the appearance, she is a little girl about ten years old, the information indicates that she is from a pioneer in the eastern area of the Rosai Wall, three days before the incident, she came to the royal capital and was trained as a servant at the Ian Chamber of Commerce, that is, she was bought by the Ian Chamber of Commerce, and happened to appear in the wine estate of Count Fort on the day of the incident."

"Secondly, nearly ninety percent of the dead in this incident were nobles and military officers, and when the giantess transformed, she happened to be in the middle of the crowd, and most of the dead were crushed to death in the struggle between the giantess and the giant transformed by Alan Yageger."

"There is also the explosives that solved the giantess, the explosives were arranged in the field in advance, and the power of the explosion was much stronger than the explosives made of gunpowder, and this event was like someone who designed it in advance."

"Is there some kind of conjecture that the commander said this?" Erwin put down the papers in his hand and looked up at Pixis.

"Often, to determine who is the mastermind of an event, you just need to find the biggest beneficiary." Pixis put his hands behind his back: "After the death of the nobleman, the Ian Chamber of Commerce swelled up in the time I didn't react, and supported the promotion of soldiers to officers. ”

"I say that, you understand, Elwin?" Pixis's eyes were a little cold.

Erwin opened his mouth slightly, but before he could speak, there was a knock at the door.

"It's me, Ian."

Exactly who Erwin wanted to talk about.

"Come on," Pixis squinted and laughed, opening the door.

Ian stood in the doorway and saluted Pixis, "Good afternoon, Commander." ”

Hannes followed him, and in addition to them, there were two rows of soldiers lined up in the hallway.

"It's... Rare guests. Pixis observed the soldiers, and he recognized the faces, some of which were from his own direct army: "Is there something wrong?" Councillor Ian. ”

"I have a new draft, and I would like to discuss it with the Commander and Commander Erwin, who has just finished his investigation outside the wall." Ian smiled, "It's about the plan to reclaim the Wall of Mary." ”

Erwin and Pixis's pupils contracted involuntarily.

Ian asked, "Commander, how about we go in and talk about it in detail?"

"Please." Pixis stepped out of the way and let Ian in.

"Captain Erwin, Captain Levi, haven't seen you for many days." Ian greeted the two men as he entered.

"You look a lot taller than you did when we first met, Ian." Erwin's expression was smiling.

"It's a little taller, but it can't be helped, if I don't grow taller, sometimes I have to ask Captain Hanji for help if I want to get the books on the shelf."

"Just now, you said that the draft of Maria's recapture battle is the same as last year's glass greenhouse, do you have any new ideas?"

"That's right." Ian nodded: "New machine guns and bullets, already in production, can be used against giants. ”

"What awesome designs did you draw?"

"No, the new weapon is only a slight improvement compared to the structure of the AK-47, I named it the Gatling of the Giant, although it is a little heavier, but the firepower is enough to penetrate the joints of the giants, and if it is a shorter giant, it can even penetrate the back of their necks directly through the Adam's apple."

"But you can't just kill giants." Erwin's eyes were calm: "If you don't block the wall, the giants will continue to pour in from the outside, and the number is impossible to estimate." ”

"Please rest assured that Captain Erwin has a way to block the wall, and I naturally have it." Ian chuckled softly, "That's a new material, it was originally a powder, but as long as water is added, it can quickly solidify and fill the hole." ”

"It's called cement."
