April 3, fine.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning cast a thin golden veil over the royal capital, and Ian counted the grain and ammunition with a supply slip in his hand, and in front of him were oxen and horse-drawn transport trucks, a total of 80 [Giant-type Gatling guns], which were tightly covered by cloth.

The mighty team gathered in the middle of the road, everyone was in good order, and the detachment leader of the respective team was in charge of order.

Ian opened the lid of his pocket watch and looked at it, and when it was almost time for his scheduled departure, Hannes brought him a sturdy and docile thoroughbred.

The team was 100 meters long, with the Survey Corps at the forefront, the cattle and horses responsible for hauling goods were protected in the middle, followed by the shooters, the cooking squad and the construction team.

Before leaving the Wall of Rossi, you don't have to worry about encountering giants, and when you get there, you will regroup your team and step into the land of the Wall of Maria.

"Let's go." Ian said.

Hannes nodded, pulled his flare gun from his waist, and fired a green flare into the sky.

With a bang, everyone looked up at the sky, and the banner of the Wings of Freedom was raised in front of the procession, and everyone stepped forward and moved slowly.

The roadside was crowded with onlookers, and yesterday leaflets and newspapers were urgently printed and distributed to the masses in the royal capital.

As a shooter, Yarutor saw familiar faces in the crowd, his family, his wife and children, squeezing out their heads and waving vigorously.

The wife picked up her youngest daughter, Sasha, and Sasha shouted, "Dad, come on!" Take back our land! ”

Alutor smiled knowingly and waved from afar in response.

The crowd cheered and cheered them on.

Standing on the balcony of a stone house, Heatria, with the sparkling ruby of the crown, was draped in a white velvet shawl, her hair neatly combed, and her graceful manners, watching the warriors as a princess.

Ian sat on the horse and looked at her, sure enough, the Buddha relied on gold, the person relied on clothes, and changed his clothes, which was really very royal girl's momentum, compared with the little girl who pulled her skirt last night and twisted and said that she was learning to bake recently, it was completely two people.

Ian thought to himself, hoping that the handmade cookies in a month from now wouldn't be too unpalatable.

Pixis stood behind Hesteria, dressed in a decent military uniform, he was not on the list of expeditions this time, and someone needed to stay in the royal capital to preside over the overall situation.

As the team approached, Pixis raised his right hand, and the man crouching on the roof opened the birdcage, and hundreds of white doves fluttered their wings and flew out.

Erwin and Pixis looked at each other, took a deep breath, and shouted, "The Wall of Mary is back to fight!" Start now! ”

The soldiers of the Survey Corps who followed him let out an exhilarating cry, as if a torch touched hot oil, and everyone's emotions were ignited, and everyone raised their right arms against their chests.

"Giving our hearts to humanity !!"

In the golden morning light, the team drove straight down and left the royal capital.

Seven days later, they arrived in the Elmihat Chamber, where they carried out the first wave of repairs and supplies, and entered the land of the Rossi Wall through the doors of the Chamber.

After another five days of marching, stopping and walking, and walking in the shortest straight line, we arrived at the Taurus District.

Beyond that is the land of the Wall of Mary.

The expedition will rest for a day in the Taurus area to make the final replenishment and plan adjustments, and on the morning of April 15, it will pass through the special district of Taurus and face the giants.

The giant was in front of him, and Levi used to feel very irritated when he thought about it, and always had to drink before leaving, but tonight was different.

He sat in front of the fire, alone with the bottle, staring at the dancing flames, and silently poured the wine from the bottle on the ground.

White bones will eventually turn to dust.

The death rate of extramural investigations is very high, with 70% of recruits dying on the first mission, and very few of them can recover their bodies.

A soldier who is lucky enough to recover an arm or half a leg as a sign of his existence, and those who are unlucky can only be left in an uninhabited wasteland.

They are swallowed into the stomach by giants and eventually spit out again.

Giants are creatures that do not have digestive organs or even reproductive organs, and giants never attack living creatures other than humans, although they will eat living people, but after a while, they will spit out the corpses.

Turning into dust in a strange land, perhaps becoming fertilizer for trees and weeds, or being eaten by birds and animals, that is the end of those who are eaten by giants.

To date, Levi has witnessed more than 100 deaths.

There were newcomers who hadn't spoken a few words, and there were soldiers he had brought with him.

When his companion dies like this, Levi will drink two or three bottles of wine.

He had long been accustomed to the fact that the disappearance of those people was not fatal, unlike people who could not live without bread.

Only, once in a while, I remembered that one night before departure, they were sitting around a table, and Levi, as the commander of the army, taught his juniors his experience, and he shouted loudly, and talked about the old things of the dead fools with a straight face.

Someone broke away from the team because of stupidity and recklessness, and someone was not psychologically good enough and was frightened in front of the giants.

The soldiers, who always listened to the stories of their predecessors in fear, were afraid of what was in the dark, so they put their arms around each other and formed friendships.

They drank to strengthen their courage, and when they reached the top, they laughed out loud, but gradually Levi realized that someone's laughter was gone forever, and that there was no one in the world who could remember the dead, and Levi was one of the few.

He was stronger than the others, and by virtue of this strength he abandoned the dead.

No, maybe the dead abandoned him.

No regrets...

He remembered the two people who had been with him at the beginning.

Isabel, Fran...

He listened to the sound of the liquor flowing, and once again he was sure of one thing:

- The world now is a piece of shit.

"Captain Levi, you're here!" Petra found him: "Commander Erwin called you over, saying that he was going to hold a combat meeting. ”

"I see, where are they?" Levi stood up.

"I'll take you there at the camp of the garrison at the outer gate." Petra whispered.

Levi nodded, and followed Petra to a tent.

"This is it, Commander, then I'll go first." Petra said.

"Wait." Levi called out to Petra.

"What's the matter? Commander? Petra put her hands behind her back.

Levi paused and said, "Let Elder go to bed early today, and don't make a fuss too crazy." ”

"Commander, don't worry." Petra smiled, "I'll take care of them." ”

"You too, rest early today."

"Uh-huh." Petra's smile bloomed brightly in front of his eyes.
