The door slowly opened, and the survey corps, which had lost its troops and generals, returned to the Wengcheng in a very embarrassed state.
Pedestrians passing by looked at the members of the Survey Corps who were obviously missing a lot and whose morale was low. Many of them had bandages on their bodies and blood stains on their clothes.
"It seems like there are a lot of people missing."
"Isn't this obvious? Look at the bundles of corpses on the carriage."
"Another heavy loss!"
“Looks like our tax dollars are wasted again!”
"You shouldn't count on them!"
These sounds naturally reached the ears of everyone in the Survey Corps. Everyone looked ugly, and the recruits lowered their heads, which was in sharp contrast to before setting off!
He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly and went out, crying for his father and mother and escaping back.
That’s what the masses think! The loser eats the dust, they don't care how the Survey Corps failed!
"Captain Alvin, have you made any contribution?" someone in the crowd asked.
Alvin's face was expressionless and he didn't speak.
Seeing this, some people were very angry: "Are you worthy of those dead soldiers?!"
Without saying a word, the group leader accepted all this in silence. Someone else asked Levi, but the soldier didn't say much to explain, and just walked in the team with an indifferent expression.
Allen in the carriage heard everyone's discussion and sat up angrily to say something, but saw a child looking at them excitedly.
Pointing at the investigators, the child shouted to his companions: "Look, they are so brave. Even though they were seriously injured, they still didn't give up the fight!"
Allen suddenly remembered that many years ago, when he was young, he watched the return of the Survey Corps that suffered heavy losses! He lay down again and covered his eyes with his hands to prevent others from seeing his tears.
After three years of hard work, he finally became an investigator. He thought he would be able to do something great, but the bloody reality gave him another head-on blow.
Mikasa in the carriage looked at Allen who was crying with his face covered, holding his hand, not knowing how to comfort him.
The veterans of the Survey Corps were not feeling well either. Olao, who had a bandage on his arm, was in a low mood: "Gunda and Eld are dead, and I don't even know how to see their families."
Petra's eyes beside him were red: "I'll tell their relatives."
"One for each, you go and tell Elder's wife, and I'll go and tell Gunda's parents.
No matter how many times I experience this, I can never get used to it! "
On the other side, Petra's father appeared out of nowhere and was nagging in front of the soldier commander: "Captain Levi, my daughter has been taken care of by me. She wrote to me saying that she was honored to work under you, and she also said I want to give everything to you.
Haha, it’s really inconsiderate of my parents. Personally, I don’t want her to get married so early..."
Levi on the side didn't feel bored. He was even a little lucky that Petra saved her life, otherwise he wouldn't know how to face Petra's father.
Sister Pei finally found her father gossiping around the soldier commander. She was very embarrassed. She could probably guess what he was going to say, so she quickly ran over and pulled her father away.
The captain breathed a sigh of relief. He was really not very good at dealing with this kind of thing.
Renn also heard all kinds of doubts and ridicules around him, but his expression remained unchanged and he didn't care. People are so realistic sometimes.
Glancing at the autistic Allen in the carriage, Ren sighed. There was no comfort or ridicule, and he didn't think Allen was a crybaby.
"Ren, here, come here." Among the crowd, the garrison soldier Rob shouted to him, and Renn heard the words and walked over.
The two quickly walked into a deserted alley, and Rob lowered his voice and said: "Ren, during the battle to recapture the Troost District more than a month ago, you should have seen how Allen turned into a giant, right?"
Ren's expression was a little strange: "What do you want to say?"
“During the snow mountain trial that night, the lightning we saw was caused by Ymir, right?
Daz was already unconscious, and Christa said that Ymir disappeared in the blink of an eye. She arrived at the camp half an hour earlier than us! "Rob stared at Ren's face, trying to find something.
"Well, indeed, I have known about this for a long time. I asked several friends and they found that she did not disappear from everyone's sight this time. She is not a female giant, and it is unlikely that she is a super giant or an armored giant."
Rob was surprised: "You already knew this? Giantess?"
Renn told him some things about this extramural investigation.
Rob was slightly silent after hearing this, and Ren stared at him: "What are you going to do, expose her?"
Sighing, Rob said, "I don't know how."
"Do you believe her?"
"believe."
"Why do you think she concealed her identity?"
"Probably to protect herself. Don't look at her sarcastic look. She actually has no sense of security and is very defensive towards others."
"Really?" Renn smiled and said: "Rob, do you know what we are doing?
We are now concealing information that is important to humanity and putting personal feelings above everyone's safety! "
"Yes, but I am not a selfless person! But this is not the way to go. You should have an idea, right?" Rob subconsciously glanced at his right foot. After he fell down while riding a horse, Ymir helped him Bandaged.
"Indeed, I will have a showdown with her in two months. I have been observing her for a long time. Her target seems to be Christa, who has a somewhat special identity, but there should be no malicious intent."
"What if she is an enemy?" Rob asked hesitantly.
Ren opened his eyes wide: "It's best not, I don't want to kill her."
"Really? Since you already knew it, why didn't you do it earlier?"
"Taking rash actions may force her to be on the opposite side, but it's impossible to let her go. I don't want to break up with her unless I have to."
Rob smiled: "You can be so gentle. I thought you would say you wanted to find a perfect way to kill her."
Renn spread his hands: "Who knows? Maybe I will set up a dragnet and then have a showdown with her."
"Really? That's up to you, I'll keep it a secret for now."
The members of the Survey Corps slowly walked through the streets of Kalanis District and returned to the old Survey Corps station inside the Wall of Rose, that is, the castle.
The members of the Military Police soon sent the order to transfer Allen to Captain Alvin, and he himself would go to the Royal City with Allen to accept accountability.
This time the Survey Corps suffered heavy losses and had no results. Those high-level officials would not ask why. If it failed, it was a failure. As a result, those high-level officials who supported the Survey Corps had lost power.
Captain Alvin saw off the arrogant Military Police Regiment and did not panic. He took the four new recruits Eren, Mikasa, Armin, and Ren to a meeting with senior executives of the Survey Corps.
Captain Alvin said solemnly: "You know the situation, right? The order from the central government to hand over Allen has been issued."
Mick, Hanji, Levi, and Nanaba did not speak, and waited quietly for the next step. The leader was not a person who gave up easily, and he would not let four recruits attend the meeting for no reason.
Captain Alvin looked at Amin: "Arnold, tell everyone your guess."
A Ming told everyone that he suspected that the giantess was Ani, and everyone was shocked.
Captain Mick frowned and said: "You have no real evidence, how can you be sure that Arnie Leonard is the female giant."
A Ming said: "The enemy let me go after seeing my face clearly. He might be my friend, so he spared my life.
I didn't say Ellen's name when I shouted for help, but she stopped when she heard 'that fool who was in a hurry to die'.
After Allen became a giant, his appearance still looked very similar to his own. The eyes and appearance of the giantess always seemed familiar to me. The giantess is most likely a female, with blond hair, and a similar look. I can only think of Ani.
And she was looking for someone based on appearance from the beginning. If she wasn't familiar with Allen, she wouldn't be able to do this! The most important thing is that the last time she checked the three-dimensional mobile device, the one she showed was Marco Bote's three-dimensional mobile device! "
Nanaba frowned and hesitated: "But this is all speculation. She may have killed the giant experiment out of hatred for the giant. This is not very reliable. What if I make a mistake?"
Han Ji had a look of pain on her face. It had only been a few days since the experiment, but Sony and Bin died. She was very unhappy now!
Looking at Allen, who was very unusual and silent, Ren asked: "Alan, have you fought against the female giant before, do you feel familiar? Or do you think her fighting moves are familiar to you?"
Allen's forehead was sweating, and he shook his head with a forced smile: "Ren, Amin, it can't be Ani's. She is our former companion, how can she be a female giant! It's just an illusion!"
Ren stared at Allen: "Really? Your fighting skills are not bad, so you won't lose so quickly, right? You didn't even last until the captain arrived!"
A guilty Allen lowered his head. When Amin suspected that the giantess was Ani, he knew that it was 90% true. The reason why he was stunned and was killed instantly was because the fighting gestures the giantess later made were exactly the same as Ani. And the familiarity isn't fake either.
He just doesn't want to believe it!
Mikasa recalled: "I also feel very similar to her. When I look at each other with the giantess, I always feel a bit familiar."
When Hanji, Levi, and Mick saw this, they knew that Amin's guess was most likely true.
The leader has gotten what he wants to know, and is determined to take action!
