"Da da da!"
The sound of horse hooves kicked up a lot of dust, and the team of vehicles and horses of the Survey Corps rushed out of this abandoned town.
As soon as they left the town and arrived on the grassy plain, Captain Alvin stretched out his hand and shouted: "Long-distance enemy search formation, deploy!"
The team immediately dispersed like waves, and the recruits were in an orderly manner. They all took their positions. They had practiced many times and no one made any mistakes.
Ren's expression remained unchanged. His position was fourth on the left wing, in the transmission position, between the first enemy-seeking squad and the chariot-horse escort squad.
He could no longer remember the details of where the female giant appeared and where she passed. At that time, he was only focused on watching the soldier commander show off his skills, but now he could only watch one step at a time.
In the current plan, he was told that Allen's position was three and five on the left wing. To be honest, this might be false information. It was impossible for the regiment leader to tell them the location of Allen, the new recruits, and it was unlikely that Levi's class would be in that position. position.
In front of Rennes on the right is Sasha, third on the left, passing the ball. On the right rear is Mikasa, and on the left wing are three in a row, which is also the communication position.
The command of the long-distance enemy search formation is in the center of the secondary column, where the regimental leader is located.
The formation is very effective for avoiding ordinary giants, but it is less effective against strange-shaped species. In addition, giants may suddenly jump out of obstacles, and emergencies may still occur.
Not long after the team marched, Sasha, who was in front and right of Renne, ran into trouble.
"Bang!"
A strange-shaped giant, lying on all fours and perhaps 14 meters tall when standing, jumped out of the woods nearby and made a hole in the ground.
It was like a gecko crawling, madly chasing after Sasha who was riding a horse in front.
"Ah~"
The sound of breaking wind came, and when she noticed the footsteps getting closer and closer behind her, Sasha screamed. She reacted quickly and hurriedly took out the flare. Then she dropped the chain, and the flare she just picked up accidentally fell to the ground. .
On one side, Sasha's squad leader and another veteran of the Survey Corps rushed to help her, and together they lured the giant away.
"Damn it! It's a strange species. You go to the left and I'll lure it away." Turning to look at the chasing giant, the squad leader said to another veteran.
The veteran of the Survey Corps gritted his teeth. As he was about to evacuate, he glanced back subconsciously and saw a figure rushing straight towards the back of the giant's neck like a flying swallow, and his body even flipped over in the air!
"Shua!"
There was a flash of blood, and the man spun his swords and cut open the back of the giant's neck, drawing out a stream of blood.
"Plop!"
The giant, crawling on all fours, fell to the ground and left a trail on the ground.
The squad leader who heard the movement also turned around and saw Ren standing on the giant's head with two swords in his hands.
Sasha's squad leader was a little surprised: "The black-haired recruit looks familiar. Is this the recruit that the senior management values very much?"
Another veteran said: "Although Ren Ackerman is a new recruit, he performed well in the recapture battle. Before joining the corps, the number of independent giants he defeated had already reached 25... No, it is 26 now. His strength is indeed Very strong."
Ren whistled, and Tigulis immediately ran over. He got on his horse and said to Sasha beside him: "Are you okay?"
Wiping the cold sweat on her forehead, Sasha smiled and said, "I'm fine. Why are you here?"
Shrugging, Ren teased: "You were shouting so loudly in front, I just came over to check on the situation."
Her pretty face turned red, and Sasha felt a little embarrassed: "Ren, it's so embarrassing. Please don't tell anyone. I won't do it next time."
Even the signal flare fell on the ground just now, and she felt that she was too inferior.
Nodding to show that he won't chew his tongue, Ren doesn't think Sasha is timid. If a leopard chases you, you can still shout "Ji Zhi Ji Syrup", and if a giant chases you, it will be useless even if you shout "Liu Liu Wei Di Huang Wan".
Ren said hello to Sasha's squad leader, slowed down his riding speed and fell behind. His position was later, but he saw Sasha in front of him on the right and was in trouble and rushed over to help.
Returning to the fourth column, he soon saw a red flare coming from the eighth column on the left. This meant that he had encountered an ordinary giant. Upon seeing this, Renn just picked up the flare gun and loaded a red flare.
"Bang!"
He fired a shot into the sky and soon saw streaks of red smoke rising into the sky around him.
The essence of the investigation outside the wall is not to kill giants. The long-distance enemy search formation is a kind of reverse thinking. It was invented to avoid giants. If you don't encounter the strange species that attack the formation, you usually don't fight.
Most of the time, the survey soldiers just send out signal flares, and then the regimental commander in the center of the sub-column fires a green signal flare to adjust the direction of advance.
Renn went to help Sasha just now because a strange plant suddenly jumped out of the grove and interfered with the formation, making it impossible to avoid it.
Just like the red flare sent by the enemy-seeking squad over there when it encountered an ordinary giant, what Ren wanted to do was not to go over to support and kill the giant, but to pass on the message. This was not a place to show off one's personal prestige.
Soon after, seeing green smoke in the air in the center of the secondary column not far away, Renn gently pulled the reins, adjusted the direction, and rode the horse in the new direction.
After that, the left and right sides of the formation encountered several giants, and they all successfully swerved to avoid them without encountering any accidents.
The long-distance enemy tracking formation is undoubtedly a genius idea. One word is "confident", two words are "powerful", three words are "invincible", and four words are "terrible"!
This area is generally a plain terrain. In addition to the green grassland, sometimes you can see a few trees with lush branches, or a small forest and a few huts. It has been almost an hour, and the left wing is generally calm.
Ren frowned and had already advanced a certain distance. Although a strange creature appeared on the left wing and attacked Sasha, in general, nothing happened.
The giantess should have taken action by now. If she did not appear on his side, she would most likely appear on the right wing of the team. Unfortunately, he could not remember the details of this extra-wall investigation.
All that was known was that except for Levi and Allen, all the six members of Levi's class were wiped out, and a large number of elite members of the Survey Corps died at the hands of the female giant who attacked the formation.
Sighing, although he now knew that the giantess might have appeared on the right wing, it was impossible for him to cross half of the formation to help.
He originally thought that when he met the female giant, he would meet up with Mikasa behind him and find a favorable terrain to intercept a wave and consume her energy. But now it seems that the stage is not created for him. In this battle to capture the female giant, he Not much is done.
It was calm on one side, but it was in dire straits on the other side. On the right wing of the formation, the female giant suddenly appeared, followed by a group of Innocent Titans.
The people on the right wing died very quickly. The female giant caught the first few enemy-seeking squads off guard, and nearly twenty of them were wiped out. The investigators did not judge that this was an intelligent giant when they first met, and just fired a "appearance" "Strange Species" black signal flare, not even the purple signal flare.
After that, the female giant soon met Amin and his team, who were ranked fifth. In order to protect Amin, Amin's squad leader Nice and his squad member Sith fought against the female giant. The two of them had teamed up to kill a strange species before.
It's a pity that they didn't know that the other party was an intelligent giant. Nice was grabbed by the telescopic rope of the three-dimensional mobile device by the female giant, and fell to the ground to death. Sith also died in the battle. The sacrifices of the seniors made Amin realize that the female giant was Wise.
The giantess stretched out her hand and pinched his cloak. Amin looked at her in horror. What surprised Amin was that the giantess didn't kill him after seeing his cute face clearly.
Amin looked at the female giant walking away, and suddenly came to his senses. He took out his flare gun and fired a flare with purple smoke.
People around Amin also saw the flare, and their expressions changed drastically. Because of Ren's suggestion, the purple flare meant the appearance of a suspected or intelligent giant, which was a more dangerous situation than the appearance of a strange black flare. !
Reiner and Jean on Amin's side hurried to Amin's side. At this moment, Reiner was intermittently "normal". "Soldier Reiner" wanted to save his companions, and "Soldier Reiner" wanted to pass on information, so at this time He was extremely sober and no one could tell that he was mentally ill.
"Actor" Rainer and Jean met A Ming who had saved his life. Several people decided to delay the giantess' pace to give the people around her time to retreat.
Then the "Opposite Noble Phantasm" Reiner "escaped from death" from the female giant and successfully told Ani, the female giant, the location of Ellen.
Looking at the wound cut by Reiner on her palm, the giantess immediately changed her direction, no longer moving forward in a straight line, but diagonally towards Levi's class at the back of the formation where Allen was.
"Squad leader, do we need to stop her?" A member of the Survey Corps stared at his squad leader with sweat on his forehead.
The squad leader gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "We can't stop it, purple flare, this is a wise giant. The leader told us to retreat directly if we encounter it. At least, we must fight in a place with buildings!"
"Squad leader, there is a small village ahead. The three squads near us should intercept her. We cannot let the giantess disrupt the formation!"
"Okay, let's do it! Gather the people nearby."
Assemble and prepare for team battle!
