Traveling is to conquer the world

Chapter 22 Attack on the Giants

After drifting in the canal of the inner city for a full seven days, the refugees on the boat were finally able to touch the solid ground again with their vain footsteps.

Because there was no preparation for long-distance transportation at the beginning, there was no food prepared for them in advance on the ship full of passengers, so that during these seven days, everyone had to rely on themselves to wear it together The little food they fled, and the unfiltered water from the canal.

Under such difficult conditions, many people naturally fell ill.And the exhausted crew members have no energy and no conditions to provide them with medical treatment. Those who are relatively mildly ill can survive and continue to walk inward. on the banks of the river, let them ask for their blessings.

This is a realistic and somewhat cruel choice, but there is no better option than this. In order to save the lives of more people on board and to end this terrible journey faster, it is helpless to abandon those who cannot adapt s Choice.

No one has counted how many people have counted how many fellow travelers have been abandoned during this migration, because for these people who have done their best just to survive, the numb mind has long been unable to affect the unfortunate. No sympathy anymore.When they set foot on the ground again, everyone felt the same feeling of surviving after a catastrophe.

But... this is just an illusion they had.

The fall of the Wall of Maria means that one-third of the human land has been exposed to the claws of giants. There is no difference between staying in the undefended Wall of Maria and waiting for the giant to eat you. .Everyone is frantically fleeing to the inland, but the land inside the Wall of Rosa, which originally supported tens of thousands of people, can no longer support such a large number of refugees.

An adult may not be able to receive a piece of black bread to satisfy his hunger for a whole day.Even children like Alan and the others, who are small and easy to feed, were ridiculed and looked at coldly when they received a piece of relief bread a day.

Because someone said, "It's better for you refugees to live than to die in the mouth of a giant", the angry Allen couldn't help but wanted to rush up and fight desperately with the guards who distributed the relief food.If it wasn't for Mikasa's swift hand to hold him back and Ermin apologizing to attract everyone's attention, I'm afraid Alan would inevitably be beaten up by the enraged guards.

These arrogant guards are just a small microcosm of the original residents.Residents of Rosa, who have never experienced the ravages of giants, often take a hostile attitude towards the refugees, thinking that these refugees from the Maria area took away their land and food for nothing, and made people who could have enough food and clothing The warm family had to cut down on food and clothing to provide for them.

There are three high walls guarding the human territory, and the more you go inside, the more powerful people gather.Most of the Maria residents living in the outermost layer are the middle and lower classes of the entire human society, and they have a natural contradiction with the middle-class Rosa residents. When they opened up, the conflict between the aborigines and the refugees crowded inside the Wall of Rosa escalated day by day, and even evolved to the level of gang fights where the Garrison Corps was required to come forward.

On the one hand, there are increasing contradictions and conflicts, and on the other hand, it is the overwhelmed granary that cannot supply so many people. Under the premise that no refugee will be allowed to come in under the wall of Hina, the high-level rulers With a slap on the forehead, I came up with a brilliant idea——

Collect troops from the large number of refugees, launch an attack on the giants wandering in the Wall of Maria, and take back the land that belongs to humans!As long as the lost third of the land can be regained, the looming food problem will no longer be a problem.

... Taking a step back, even if this group of cannon fodder fails to play any role, the land inside the Wall of Rosa can barely afford the food demand after a large number of population has been drastically reduced.

Under the dilemma of starvation to death or being eaten by giants, a full 25 refugees formed the "expeditionary army" with simple weapons and even empty hands. They lined up and walked out of the Wall of Rosa, returning to their former home that had been trampled beyond recognition by giants.

Then, they were eaten one by one by the never-satisfied giants.

In this expeditionary army recruitment, even the group of children who had been specially taken care of in the past no longer enjoyed any privileges-because the rulers suddenly realized that when the number of refugees was too large, even children It also consumes a lot of food.Therefore, whether it is the elderly who are dying or the children who are still young, all belong to the category of being recruited.

Fortunately, the person in charge of this matter has a bit of a brain, knowing that these immature children are the reserve army against the giants in the future, and did not force the children to join the expedition.As long as you think you can survive without a small piece of black bread every day, then it is not a problem to refuse to recruit and stay inside the Wall of Rosa.

——Of course, the tolerance for children means that the oppression of other groups will be more severe.Because with a lot of kids terrified and unwilling to go back, the 'quantity indicator' has to fall on someone else.

Mikasa's parents died when she was very young, and then she was adopted by Alan's parents. Naturally, she doesn't have to worry about having to face the pain of separation.And Ellen's mother was killed on the day when the giants invaded, and his father's whereabouts are unknown...Unfortunately, only Elmin's grandfather is alone.

Being able to escape from the fallen Wall of Maria was truly blessed by the heavens, but his luck seemed to end there.The soldiers who were eager to complete the big target of 25 didn't care about the wishes of an old man, and took him away almost forcibly.During the short farewell time when he left in a hurry, he could only leave his hat on Ermin's head as a consolation.

At the cost of the sacrifice of 25 people, the order that was on the verge of collapse inside the Wall of Rosa finally stabilized.But the god of death did not stop the pace of collecting lambs for offering sacrifices. After the decree that no relief bread was issued, many skinny children starved to death in the shadow of the street.

They have no food and no clean water, so they can only bite their thin wrists to suck their own blood when they are hungry and panicked.They had no clothes or thick blankets, and they could only hug each other and shiver in the freezing night.Hungry and cold, they have no other choice but to wait helplessly for the arrival of death.

Fortunately, all three of Allen are not included.At the beginning of the ban on cutting off relief food, Antinomy secretly conjured up some dry bread and used various reasons to prevaricate them and feed them. Not long after, they were adopted by a well-meaning priest of the Wall Church, at least not anymore. Need to worry about today's rations.

But of course the priest couldn't bear to see them living on the streets and suddenly showed kindness. He would only take them in among the vast number of small refugees, and it was just a matter of love.

The priest's target was Antinomy from the very beginning, or his blue hair, which even the dust could not dim it, made the priest astonished when he first saw it—"such a pure and holy blue hair It is so similar to the true god who came to the world to sweep away demons and build walls in the Bible... This must be a symbol of divine protection, and the true god will definitely come again and drive the damned giants out of the wall!"
