Chapter 562
Although the Torroste district was recaptured and the Rossay Wall was saved from falling, many people still died as a result of the brief invasion of the giants, including civilians and soldiers.
As the greatest contributor to the recapture campaign, Alan was not treated as he had hoped, and while he was unconscious, he was taken away by the Survey Corps after arriving with the Southern Garrison Corps to rescue the elite squad and kill the remaining giants at the same time.
No one knows what will happen to him, and everyone else is now helping to deal with various post-war matters, such as rescuing survivors, collecting bodies, identifying bodies...
All the time, you can see the sadness when you see the remains of your former friends and relatives, how much despair and powerlessness are mixed with it? No one knows, they only know that human beings are too fragile, so fragile that death can come at any moment and they are powerless to resist.
Thomas, Marco, most of the same class of trainees died in this battle, no glory, no glory, to put it nicely, they contributed their hearts, but did they really want to die?
Wayne, who knew the truth of all this, saw all this, and his disdain for the original King Reis became even heavier, and the so-called oath of not fighting dragged a country and a nation into the bottomless abyss.
Obviously has the capital to conquer the world, but because of personal preferences, he is good at asserting, and now he is being restrained by the weak enemy who was vulnerable in the past, so that he is like a lost dog shrinking into a corner, which is simply a brainless act, stupid and terrible.
Thinking of this, Wayne wants to tear the Reis family from the ruling position more and more, but support the person he wants to ascend to the throne, and then merge with the Eldian Restoration faction, use the power of giants to start a war against the whole world, and unify the world in one fell swoop.
In fact, he could have broken into the Sheena Wall to get rid of Rod Reis now, but what about after that? It's not right, so you have to find an opportunity to bring Frida back.
And how to find this opportunity? The answer lies in the three of Ani, and Wayne had long seen that the three of them had the power of giants, but they were not Eldians, and if he expected them to be true, they should have come from the kingdom of Marais, which now enslaves the Eldians from the outside world.
If compared to reality, the kingdom of Marais is like the Third Reich in the past, powerful and unstoppable, they are ambitious to try to expand their own territory, but limited by their own power, they are unable to achieve their goals, so they set their sights on the escape of the Reis family, trying to find the power of the 'Ancestral Giants' to revive the giant blood on the Eldians, so as to achieve their goals and fulfill their ambitions.
These are the results of Kaneki's discoveries and discussions with Frida in the past, and as an ontology, he can naturally share these memories, and at the same time, he can also see everything from a holistic perspective.
However, there is a problem in front of him now, and that is Alan Yeager this kid.
If you want to overthrow Reis's rule, you must have enough evidence, even if Frida herself comes forward, no one will believe it by virtue of one-sided words, and all the truth and evidence are hidden in Grisha Yegger, and only Alan knows where they are.
Therefore, Eren can't die, he is the most important part of his plan.
However, judging from the current situation, Allen's situation is actually not good, after all, his identity is unknown, no one will rest assured that the person next to him is a guy who will become a giant, all the soldiers on duty, including ordinary people, the degree of hatred for giants can be said to be extreme, for the crimes of compatriots, maybe they will be punished with a tolerant attitude, but the giant's words, they are afraid and eager to cut a thousand knives. Besides, I'm afraid what the government wants to find out most should be how Allen became a giant, right?
Someone with a heart will even want to try to take advantage of this, advocating that humans can defeat giants in order to try to study Allen, but of course, with the current level of technology in Eldia, it will definitely not be possible, to put it mildly, the current Eldia and out of touch with modern society, the outside world is already the world of thermal weapons, but they are still using cold weapons, I'm afraid the only commendable thing is their three-dimensional mobile device.
Looking at the temporary location of the Survey Corps, which is close to the dungeon, and Alan is in the dungeon, whether this kid is alive or dead, I am afraid that tonight may be known.
At night, the tired people are relaxed and go to sleep deeply, which is undoubtedly the most reassuring and comfortable moment for them during this time, because they have reaped the first victory in history, although this victory has paid a great price, but it is a victory after all, and there is no need to worry about the giant appearing at any time, and there is no need to think about whether he will be alive tomorrow.
However, on such a night, in addition to the soldiers on duty at night, two people quietly left the camp and left their own barracks by taking advantage of the night.
Interestingly, however, one person discovered the other, but the other did not.
This person was Wayne, and when he quietly came out of the tent, he had already noticed that there was another person, and this person was no stranger to him, it was Ani.
From the time Ani asked him what the outcome of Eren would be, he had guessed that Ani hoped that Eren could survive, although he didn't know if she suddenly cared about Alan's life and death because of the power of the giant, but one thing that could be known was that they also seemed to be aware of something crucial.
Or is there some kind of misunderstanding? Regardless of this, he and Ani infiltrated the dungeon where Erin was held almost at the same time, although the structure was complicated, but it was not difficult for the two, one was a real person who had been professionally trained in infiltration, and the other was very cheating and used the ability of stealth.
The first to arrive at the cell where Alan was being held was Wayne, and unfortunately, Alan did not come into contact with him, but he saw two former acquaintances.
Elvin Smith, who was not yet the head of the Investigation Corps, and Levi Ackerman, who used to be a gangster.
Now these two people, one has become the commander of the Survey Corps, and the other has become the commander of the Survey Corps, which is called the strongest in the human race.
They seemed to be interrogating Allen, and as for what was being interrogated, there was naturally no need to say much.
"How did you become a giant? I think many people want to know this, although it is too fantastical, but the facts are in front of us, and we can't help but believe it. ”
Erwin's calm words made Allen, who was originally a little nervous, gradually calm down, and began to recall and organize his own language, and after a while, only to hear him say slowly, "To be honest, I don't know how I became a giant, but I think it all has something to do with my father, who once told me that he kept all the secrets about why giants came out and giants were kept in the basement of our house..."
"The secret of the giants..."Elwin muttered, it is undeniable that everyone wants to know such secrets, isn't it just that they are investigating the corps to find out the secrets of the giants? After so many investigations, so many times in vain, if there is an opportunity and goal in front of them now, then there is no doubt that they have motivation, but the truth of this matter may need to be verified.
But just as Erwin hesitated, Alan said impatiently, "I know you don't believe me, but everything I say is the truth, in fact, I don't know if my father lied to me, but now this is the only thing I have to do, because I also want to know, why I became a giant, is all this related to my father..."
Erwin looked at Allen, for a moment, after half a sound, he slowly got up, "I know, you have a good rest for the time being, and after going to court tomorrow, you will make a decision about your disposition..."
Alan looked at the back of Erwin leaving, opened his mouth, what he wanted to say was still not spoken, what he wanted to say was that he wanted to join the investigation corps, but he didn't know if the other party would accept it.
Here, Erwin and Levi walked out, and Levi, who was behind the former, asked lightly, "You seem to be planning to include him in the Survey Corps?" ”
"Why not?" Erwin asked rhetorically.
Levi glanced at him and said, "Do you think the Gendarmerie and the President will give you what you want?" I know you're trying to use this kid to find clues in his mouth, but you're not alone. ”
"Your concerns are not unfounded, but I am sure that he will cooperate with us. Because I saw in that kid's eyes that he would definitely join our Survey Corps, and more importantly, with you, those guys would rest assured. Meaningfully, Erwin was silent.
The two left the dungeon, but they didn't know that two people had quietly infiltrated in the dungeon.
Hearing what happened to Erwin, Wayne was relieved that he originally wanted to rescue Allen when he was sentenced to death, but now it seems that Allen should not have any problems, after all, listening to Erwin's tone, he seems to be very sure that he will be able to save him.
Wayne heard it, Ani naturally heard it, she actually had the same purpose as Wayne, now Alan is fine, she is also relieved, she was prepared for the worst, she really can't become a giant and take him out, although doing so may lead to her identity being exposed, and if Alan does not have the power of coordinates, then she will lose a lot, but with the current situation, it seems that the power of coordinates has a great chance of being on Allen, and she can only believe that Allen has the power of coordinates.
After confirming that nothing would happen to Alan, the two quietly left, waiting for the outcome of tomorrow's trial.
As a training soldier, he was not qualified to observe the court trial, but the matter involved Allen, and the people related to him also went to the bench as half of the witnesses.
Among the training soldiers, Ah Ming, who had the best relationship with Allen, looked worried, as if Alan might really have an accident.
Wayne, who had a good impression of him, patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, if they were going to execute Allen, they should have been sentenced a long time ago, and they wouldn't have to wait until the court opened, and the biggest purpose today should be the question of how to place Allen." ”
Hearing Wayne say this, although Amin was still worried, he no longer seemed as worried as before, and he was quite convinced of Wayne's judgment.
When President Daris slowly walked into the courtroom, everyone stood up, accompanied Daris to sit down, everyone slowly sat down, the president took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and looked like it was going to last for a long time, so that everyone present looked at each other, especially Erwin and the head of the Gendarmerie Nell Dirk, when the two looked at each other, in addition to the sparks that usually rubbed each other's eyes, there was also a trace of puzzlement.
"So, let's bring Alan Yeager first."
Lifting his glasses, Daris said something lightly, which made the audience quiet.
Alan was slowly escorted up, handcuffed to the middle pillar, and with his appearance, the originally quiet scene began to be noisy again, and the buzzing and discussion were endless, most of them comparing him to a monster, fearing, hating, and treating those giants outside the wall.
'Knock knock'
Daris tapped the gavel to silence the court again, "Now, please ask the two of you to state your views and propose your own way of dealing with it, who will come first?" ”
Nair Dirk was the first to stand up, "Your Excellency the President and ladies and gentlemen, I think that to treat Alan Yagele, we should first study the reason why he became a giant, and imprison him in a very safe location that will not cause major accidents, once the cause is found, then we can know all the secrets of the giant, so as to effectively deal with the invasion of the giants, and even recapture the wall of Mary is not a dream." ”
Darys nodded slowly, "What you said seems to have some truth, but have you thought about it, what should you do with him after researching?" ”
Nair looked at Allen, and it happened that Allen also looked at him, and when they looked at each other, a trace of killing intent flashed in Nair's eyes, "Naturally, kill him to prevent future troubles!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, many people agreed with this point of view, and even Darith seemed noncommittal, but fortunately, the president did not like to take sides, and he did it fairly, so he asked Erwin.
"So, Chief Erwin, what is your opinion?"
Under the gaze of his rivals and everyone, Erwin slowly got up and said with a serious face, "Your Excellency the President and everyone, my suggestion is to put Alan Yeager into the Survey Corps, and I and Captain Levi will personally supervise him, and at the same time go to find the secret that Grisha Yeager has buried in the basement of the Higanshina district that he has revealed, as long as we find him, I think we will know all the truth." ”
