Traveling is to conquer the world

"Cough, then let's start." The old man with white beard and hair and eyes sat down, rolled up his sleeves casually and looked at Alan and said, "Are you Alan Yeager? You swore to be willing to serve mankind It is a sincere pity to meet me on such an occasion after offering your heart... Now, are you still willing to give everything for mankind?"

Allen, who was tied to the iron pole and unable to stand, raised his head, looked at the kindly old man on the trial seat, and replied, "Yes, I am willing."

"Very well, I believe you are also aware that this special event cannot be resolved through normal procedures, so this special military meeting was held for this reason." The old man pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "This is usually what the law says." The judgment that cannot be applied has been fully entrusted to me, including your life and death... Do you have any objections?"

Allen, who had been prompted in advance, did not make any rebuttals, but quickly replied: "No."

"You can be so sensible, which saves us a lot of effort. Therefore, I will speak straight to the point." Darius Thackeray, the supreme human commander who commanded the three major corps, put down the document in his hand, looked down at the kneeling Allen on the ground said, "It is impossible to hide your existence from the public, so we must entrust you to a trustworthy place as an account to the public."

"Gendarmerie...or Survey Corps."

A man in the uniform of the Gendarmerie took a step forward and said: "The head of the Gendarmerie Division, Neil Doc, hereby proposes that Allen be handed over to our Gendarmerie. We will treat his body Conduct a thorough inspection to find clues of giantization, and then quickly dispose of him. Considering the threat he is now posing to human beings, it is our Gendarmerie regiment's opinion to execute him after obtaining enough information."

"There is no such need at all!" A priest standing next to Nair, the head of the gendarmerie division, pointed his finger at Allen, and said angrily, "He has desecrated the wall of Rosa, which is the wisdom of God! He used The dirty giant's hand has touched the supreme crystal bestowed by the gods! There is no doubt that he is a pest that has infiltrated the human race, and he deserves the most serious treatment immediately..."

A light cough interrupted the priest's continuous complaints. Antinomie, who was standing at the back, glanced at the priest and said, "Now is the time for the Gendarmerie and the Survey Corps to express their opinions. Keep quiet."

The blackened priest glared at Allen unwillingly, then stepped back and fell silent.Darius, who was sitting on the trial seat, turned his head and asked the members of the Survey Corps, as if he hadn't seen the farce here, "I already know what the Gendarmerie Corps claims, so what is your survey Corps' plan for Allen?" how?"

The blond man who met Alan once in the dungeon put his hands behind his back, straightened his back and replied: "Erwin Smith, the 13th head of the Survey Corps, hereby proposes to hand over Alan to the investigation team." Corps. We will recruit Allen to become an official member of the Survey Corps, and use his giant power to take back the Wall of Maria."

Darius, who has been lacking in interest since just now, raised his eyelids, looked at Erwin, who had finished his report in a concise and concise manner, and asked, "Is this the end?"

"Yes." Erwin replied, "Alan is the only hope to regain Maria's Wall. You will naturally have a wise choice in terms of priorities and how to make decisions. I don't need to say more."

After inquiring about the specific plan of the survey corps for a while, Darius no longer delved into this issue, but asked Alan who was kneeling on the ground as if he suddenly remembered something, "Say one more thing, Alan, can you Tell me how you became a giant? How did you control your actions?"

Alan, who was suddenly asked, was obviously nervous, but fortunately, he had answered these questions with Antinomie before, so he could answer calmly and quickly: "I still don't know how I became a giant. But each transformation is driven by a strong will... the actions after the transformation are also the will before the transformation."

"Well, so, is it the best choice for you to join the survey corps and take back the Wall of Maria?" Darius seemed to be asking Allen, and he seemed to be asking himself, when no one dared to answer his silence In the middle, he clasped his hands together to support his chin, and his glasses turned white. "Then, what is your strong will to transform into a giant before? Tell me carefully."

The situation has developed to the present, Allen really has to thank Antinomie for the questions he asked himself before, because he answered them once, so now he can answer them calmly, "The first time I didn't want to die, the second time I wanted to protect Friends, the third time is to seal the gap in the city wall."

"Very well, then judging from the purpose of your three transformations, you are indeed more helpful than harmful to humans." Darris praised, and asked before Allen had time to rejoice: "But you are so As soon as I said it, I had an idea... I wonder if you would like to answer it?"

Before waiting for the nervous Allen to answer whether he would like to, Darris had already asked the question: "Alan Yeager, if I decide to hand you over to the Gendarmerie, will you be killed because of your strong will to die?" Turn into a giant and kill us all who tried to execute you? You can choose to be silent, but your silence is also an answer."

"Look, as long as you're giant, there's almost no one here to stop you from escaping. The Survey Corps claim Levi can stop your runaway runaway, but he's not carrying a weapon because he's in the Council. What a failed precaution. Darius glanced over the Gendarmerie and Survey Corps, and everyone he saw lowered their heads in shame, "Alan, what is your answer?"

Under Darris' gaze, Allen swallowed his saliva and took a deep breath, calmed down and replied loudly: "I can't do it! I'm a human being, and even if I become a giant, I can't do anything to harm a human being! Even today After the trial, it was decided to execute me, and I will not make any resistance!"

"Very good answer. As the supreme commander of human soldiers, I must praise your excellent consciousness. Alan, you are an excellent soldier. From your eyes, I can see your determination. My lord bishop, Put the sacred object back away, before making a decision, I don't want Alan's death due to the loss of control of the sacred object."

Everyone's eyes followed Darius to the back of the jury box, only to find that surrounded by a group of priests, a trembling cane with silver light was aimed at Alan who was kneeling in the center, as if at any time It was as if it was about to roar out and plunge into his heart, but the vibrating staff couldn't get away, because the staff was firmly held in the hands of a blue-haired boy.

Antinomie met Darius' gaze and replied, "This is its reaction to the giant's breath, and I can't control it. But don't worry, I won't let go until he turns into a giant and starts slaughtering humans. "

Darius seemed a little dissatisfied with Antinomie's answer, but he stopped dwelling on this digression, and turned his gaze back to Allen, "Allen, I'm sorry I deceived you just now. This military meeting is not right. You are defenseless, and if you tried to escape as a giant, now the holy thing longing to be bathed in giant blood has pierced your heart."

"Okay, let's continue our topic."

Darius waved his hand, and the person next to him immediately handed him a document, and he looked at the document and read, "You promised not to harm humans, but there is such a record in the report on the recapture of Trost: You, who just became a giant, attacked Mikasa Ackerman, a trainee at the same time... eh? Mikasa Ackerman happened to be there as a witness, so Mikasa, please answer."

"Tell me, is it true?"

Allen looked at the position of Mikasa on the right in shock, as if he knew for the first time that he had done such an unforgivable thing.Mikasa avoided Alan's sight, and after Ermin beside her reminded that "lying here will only be detrimental to Alan", she lowered her head and replied: "Yes, it is the truth."

"Then the conclusion comes out." Darius took off his glasses, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples and said, "Alan, for the time being, I approve of your awareness as a soldier. But, just like you don't know how you became a giant, you You can't completely control your own actions after becoming a giant, even if you did complete the task of sealing the gap in the wall, it is a certain fact that you attacked Mikasa."

"Humans can't control giants, not even Alan. Unfortunately, the proposal of the Survey Corps is full of uncertainties and risks. Even if Alan has the will to assist humans in retaking the Wall of Maria, will he be able to go smoothly after becoming a giant?" Execution is also unknown, so I..."

Halfway through what Darris said, Allen's heart sank to the bottom, he didn't trust him to control the power of the giant, and thought it was full of uncertainties and risks... This is to call him to the gendarmerie for execution mean?

"Please wait a moment, Your Excellency." Just as Darris was about to announce his conclusion, Antinomie interrupted him, "The Wall of Maria is a gift from God. Even if it is lost once, we should try our best to get it back. It is worth taking even a certain risk. I hope you can take this into consideration and make a prudent decision."

When Antinomie first spoke, everyone was shocked because he interrupted Darris, but Nair, the head of the Gendarmerie Corps, quickly reflected and reprimanded him full of righteous indignation: "The president's decision cannot be tolerated." you……"

"Okay, Neil, don't interrupt." Unexpectedly, the interrupted Darris himself looked calm, "Is this your personal wish, or is it the unified opinion of the entire "Wall Church"?"

Antinomie glanced at the priest who had just declared that he would execute Allen immediately, and the other party shrank back as if sensing it, trying to reduce his presence.After a pause, he replied: "Recapturing the Wall of Mary is the top priority. This is the unified opinion of the Church of the Wall. The sacred wall should not be exposed to the sight of giants."

"You would..." Darius seemed to want to say something to Antinomie, but he quickly cut off the conversation and returned to the main topic, "Well, the Wall of Maria is indeed of great significance to human beings. So Erwin you Let me elaborate on the plan to recapture the Wall of Maria, and based on the feasibility of the plan, I will carefully judge Alan's final ownership."

Erwin stood at attention and answered, then put down the rough plan with only a few lines written in his hand, and talked eloquently: "First, we decided to start from the Kalanes district in the east, and from there to..."

After the long narrative ended, Erwin concluded: "...In summary, Alan will be handed over to Captain Levi to take care of him, and on this basis, let him join the investigation corps to carry out investigations outside the wall with us, and then establish the retake The final plan of Maria's Wall. As for whether Allen can control the power of giants and how much contribution he can make to mankind, let this investigation outside the wall judge."

"First try an investigation outside the wall to prove whether Alan is valuable, and then judge how to deal with it... It does reduce the risk to a minimum." Darius said, "But, Erwin, do you understand the meaning of this promise? If the wall If the external investigations are still fruitless, then Allen, who is judged to be harmful to mankind, will be handed over to the Gendarmerie. At that time, it will be useless for you to tell me how to take back the Wall of Maria."

Erwin replied, "Yes, I understand."

"..." After a while of silence, Darius stood up with his hands on the table, and announced to everyone: "In this case, I have come to a conclusion. Allen, I will temporarily hand it over to the Survey Corps. The meeting is over and the meeting is over. "

Once Darris' decision was made, the entire deliberation office was boiling, everyone was whispering about what would happen, and some people even started talking freely about taking back the Wall of Maria... Amid the din of voices In the middle, Allen raised his head subconsciously to look at the jury seat on the left, but only saw the back of the blue-haired boy who had left hidden in the crowd.

It wasn't until now that Allen finally calmed down from this dramatic reversal, and finally had a sense of reality that he had survived a desperate situation.Seeing the back of Antinomie leaving, Allen suddenly remembered the sentence he said 'I won't let him die', and finally understood a little bit of the deep determination behind this simple promise.
