Chapter 664
Giant World.
Exploring outside the wall, this time the survey corps was once again fully mobilized, and new faces were full of vitality, with curiosity about the outside world, riding out of the city.
However, the eyes of the people who watched them leave were numb, because countless disappointments and sacrifices of countless people had made them indifferent from their initial support.
"There will be a lot of sacrifices..."
"I don't know who it will be this time..."
The gates were closed, separating the two worlds, inside and outside the walls.
Wayne was placed in Team B, consisting of Connie, Heresta, Sasha, and Ymir, while the other team consisted of Mikasa, Jean, Reiner, Hoover, and Armin.
"Our mission is only to provide support, not to participate directly in the battle, just try to keep up with the large army." Connie said to the others.
The duties are understood, but from Connie's mouth, there is more greed for life and fear of death.
Ymir immediately sneered, "I really can't count on you!" β
"What, I'm just following the mission plan!" Connie blushed and argued.
"You don't have to say anything if you know it."
The noise in his ears did not disturb Wayne's thinking, now that all the members of the survey corps are dispatched, only the garrison corps and the gendarmerie corps are left in the wall, if you choose to launch a sudden attack on the royal family at this time, the chances of success should not be small, but before you find out what else the royal family has, it is really a bit unwise to act rashly.
In order to allow Frida to return to the throne, and to integrate the world inside the walls and then counterattack the outside of the walls, in addition to dealing with the royal family, it is necessary to win over those who can be wooed.
And the commander of the Survey Corps, Elvin Smith, is a person worth wooing.
Because people who yearn for the world beyond the wall are always curious about the unknown, not to mention, the position he stands on is always on the side of righteousness.
Finding an opportunity, engaging with Erwin, and convincing him with facts and evidence is the priority at the moment.
When he came back to his senses, Wayne found that Hrista was looking at him with a worried face, and he couldn't help but be stunned, "What's wrong?" β
"I didn't respond to you after calling you several times, I thought something had happened to you, just now the front team sent a message asking us to help the team that is close to the giant."
Wayne nodded, "Let's go!" β
The five of them rode their horses at a gallop, and in a short time they saw several huge figures above the horizon of the plain, and they drew their weapons one after another, and the three-dimensional mobile device carried them in the direction of the giant.
"It's strange, why did you meet the giant so quickly?" In the middle of the leap, Armin muttered to himself with a puzzled face.
"Hey, Armin, what are you doing! Hurry up and help me! Jean's voice came from above Almin's head, but his device was fixed to the giant's body, his body swinging, always looking for an opportunity to kill him with a single blow.
"Oh, sorry, right away!"
Armin began to act, using himself as bait to seduce the giant's attack, so that at this moment, the figure quickly flashed over the giant's neck, and the sword light flashed in the sunlight.
The cooperation of the aid class A is not tacit, the top few of the 104th issue are here, and there is even a killer weapon like Mikasa, it is easy to solve these sudden giants.
When several giants were dealt with one after another, the five of them gathered and asked each other if they were injured, and Armin also raised his own question at this moment, "Do you think it is strange?" This is not yet the range of the giants' activities, but here they are. β
"Probably these are the exceptions?" Jean shrugged, "Who knows, anyway, so far, these few don't pose a threat to the team, right?" β
Armin said cautiously, "What if that happens again?" If we don't figure out why these giants are here, I'm afraid that something will happen in the next investigative mission. β
Jean waved his hand, "Don't worry about it, Armin. β
Reiner chimed in, "yes, there are only a few of them so far, and it seems that it was just an accident. β
"Let's go and join up with the flanks of our team, we haven't delivered news for a while, don't let them think we've had an accident."
Hearing Hoover's words, everyone nodded, and Armin had to let go of his doubts and join the others towards the flank of his team.
On the way, Mikasa suddenly whispered to Armin, "Always be vigilant, Armin. β
Hearing this, Armin's face changed, "Sure enough, even Mikasa, do you feel that something is wrong?" β
Mikasa nodded slightly, "I've had a feeling of unease since just now. I can't say why, but my gut tells me that something bad must be happening. β
Armin didn't think Mikasa would be out of focus, and in addition to believing that something was wrong, he also trusted Mikasa's instincts, which were the trust and understanding that had been cultivated over the years.
'Boom'
A loud bang came from behind the five people, and the startled horse almost threw several people off, and before they had time to calm the horse's emotions, the loud sound of the earth shaking was getting closer and closer.
Danger was imminent, and Armin shouted, "Disperse, everyone! β
The five hurriedly abandoned their horses and turned on their motorized devices to move away. The next moment, the horse that saw them stay in place was trampled into a pool of blood by a huge paw.
When Armin raised his head and saw the appearance of the giant, his complexion couldn't help but change greatly, after experiencing the baptism of Allen becoming a giant, the giantess with blonde hair and no skin in front of him was not an ordinary giant, is there a possibility of strange species? Yes, but definitely not much!
"Damn, this guy gave us our horseβ" with an annoyed look on his face, Jean manipulating the device and attacking the giantess.
However, before he could get close to the giantess, the steel wire used to connect the fixation was grabbed by the giantess and thrown out of the air.
Jean in mid-air was stunned, forgetting how to land himself safely, but fortunately, Reiner rescued him in time to avoid the danger of falling to the ground.
"Be careful, this giantess is not ordinary!" Jean said to Reiner in a deep voice.
Reiner nodded solemnly and looked at the giantess with a solemn face, but in his heart, he didn't think so.
The five of them surrounded the giantess, who looked at them indifferently, and did not act rashly, as if waiting for them to make a move.
The first one who couldn't hold it back was Jean, who had just made a move but returned in vain, and ejected the retainer extremely quickly, and flew towards the giantess again.
With this move, the others also moved, and they all flew in the air, and the swords flashed and shone on each other.
Seeing this scene, the giantess was still expressionless, but if you look closely, you will find that the color in her eyes flashes with mockery.
'Bang'
"Succeeded? No, it's..."
Jean slashed, but the shock force from his hands almost made him unable to hold the knife, because he found that the giantess was unscathed, and a diamond-like crystal appeared outside her body.
Before he could alert the crowd, the giantess's fist knocked him flying and swayed in midair.
Reiner saw the opportunity to break through head-on, trying to blind the giantess in the eye, but the giantess, who seemed to have anticipated his actions, grabbed him.
Seeing this scene, the other people's faces were horrified, being caught by the giant meant death, except for the existence of the commander of the army, Relivi, otherwise there was no way to escape.
"Everyone, let's go! This giant is not something we can handle! Reiner, who was caught, shouted, his voice hurried and resolute with his mortal heart.
At this time, several horses that had been separated from their owners, or horses that had lost their owners, ran nearby.
Armin gritted his teeth, "Let's go!" β
Reason told him that he had to go, and if he didn't go, everyone would die, not that he didn't want to save Reiner, but that he had to rush forward knowing that he was going to die, so it was really no different from looking for death.
There was no one to refute, or rather, they wanted to refute but could not find a suitable word, and they were powerless to fill their hearts.
"Damn!!" With a broken right hand and unable to move, he got on a horse, gritted his teeth, and became a deserter, watching his companion die.
The four of them fled in the opposite direction from the giantess without looking back, not because they were afraid, but because they did not dare to look at the sacrifice of their companions.
The giantess clenched her hand a little by little, as if she wanted to pinch Reiner in her hand, and looked at the blood oozing from her fingers, her face was a little excited.
Tightened, tightened, as if the bones were about to shatter, and just as Reiner was slowly brewing his strength to break free, a figure suddenly took control of the device, and the twin blades flashed and sliced through the giantess's hand, so that she did not have time to crystallize it.
Two fingers fell, and Reiner took this opportunity to break free from it, and after he was free, he found that the person who saved him was actually Wayne.
"Be careful, this giant is different..."
Wayne, who was in mid-air, nodded lightly when he heard this, and when he looked at the giantess, his eyes flashed with a slight strange color.
This giantess gave her a familiar feeling.
The giantess covered her injured hand, and when she saw Wayne, she was obviously stunned, and immediately made a very surprising move.
"Ran away?"
Looking at the giantess who was gradually leaving, Wayne was puzzled, why did she run? Do you think you can't win? Or is it because of something else?
"This..."Reiner, who limped to Wayne's side, had a look of bewilderment on his face, he never thought that the giantess would actually escape, logically speaking, shouldn't it?
"Forget it, since she escaped, you don't need to care, it seems that the direction she left is the flank of the team, after I join up with Group B, I will take them to the team, you go to find your teammates to join us."
After Wayne left his orders, he rode his horse in the direction of his team's vicinity.
Reiner quickly found Armin, mainly because they didn't go far, the giantess's movement was too big, even if it was far away, they could be observed, and it was natural to know that Reiner was rescued, but they were puzzled that the giantess didn't attack Wayne.
Armin already had a guess about the identity of the giantess in his mind, and if nothing else, just the unusual behavior she had when she met Wayne, a person's name appeared in his mind.
Approaching the forest, the giantess had already broken into the team's sequence at this moment and began to launch her own attack on the team.
Seeing this scene, Alan wanted to stop it, but Levi's words made him give up this plan, "Trust your companion." β
As a result, Allen, who was the object of protection, was escorted all the way at this moment, and the target was naturally the Higanshina district.
Leviban stayed behind to deal with the new giantess, and with Hanji's help, he had already set a trap in the forest for the fish to take the bait.
Only, can this really stop the giantess?
At the same time, the two teams of reinforcement converged, began to fight and retreated into the forest area to join the team, and after a long battle, they gradually became tired and chose a place to repair.
"I don't know how Alan is now..."Almin, who had just walked away, sighed worriedly.
Let Wen Yan pout, "That guy is protected by Captain Liwill, so you can put a hundred hearts." β
Yes, with Levi's protection, no matter how special that giantess is, it doesn't seem to pose a threat to Allen.
Thinking of this, Armin's mood improved a little, and he took this opportunity to confide in everyone, "Do you think that giantess is very similar to Alan?" β
Hearing Armin say this, everyone's faces gradually became solemn when they remembered the abnormal giantess.
"It shouldn't be that coincidental, right?" Hoover said as if he were lying to himself.
Wayne shook his head, "I can't rule it out, I'm sure she's acting according to human reason, as if she were a giant giant and an armored giant." β
"You mean, these three giants are in a gang?" Hrista looked taken aback, unable to believe this fact.
"It's hard to say if they're a gang or not, but at least it's certain that they must be enemies with us." Wayne pondered, "And they're probably lurking around us!" β
Everyone looked at each other when they heard the words, they all saw the horror in each other's eyes, it was hard to imagine that this kind of existence that could kill themselves at any time was lurking around them, once they transformed within the wall, it was difficult to say what kind of damage would be caused, but since they were human beings and chose to lurk, then they must have their own purpose, and they would inevitably continue to lurk before they could achieve their goal.
"Is there something about Ellen that attracts her? Could it be because of the secrets of the Higanshina district? "Let me be thoughtful.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple, if that's all, wouldn't it be nice to participate in the investigation outside the wall? Eventually, we can find the secret of the giant, so I suspect that Eren has a secret in him that we don't know, even he doesn't know, and this secret is only known to beings like Alan. β
Speaking of this, Armin suddenly got up, "That's right, it must be so, if that's the case, then the giantess will definitely not give up easily, and she must be stopped before she finds Allen!" β
Saying that, without waiting for the crowd to respond, he hurriedly mounted his horse and ran in the direction of the forest.
Seeing this scene, everyone was helpless, but they had no choice but to keep up, who called them friends who were also friends in the 104th issue?
