Traveling is to conquer the world

"Yes, in this investigation outside the wall, Bishop Antinomy from the Church of the Wall will act together with us. The relevant official document has been passed to me three days ago, about the appointment, and... Change the target of this investigation outside the wall."

As soon as Erwin's voice fell, the soldiers of the Survey Corps immediately whispered.Not to mention that they didn't know that there would be an Antinomie who would suddenly parachute down today to act with them, and they didn't even know what the target of this investigation outside the wall was.When they were still at a loss as to what the goal of this investigation was, the team leader actually said that the goal was changed?

"Quiet." Levi scanned the whispering soldiers with dead fish eyes without the slightest temperature, and successfully silenced the noisy noise that was still controversial just now.The soldier-captain of the survey corps turned his head, locked his slightly gloomy gaze on the blond-haired commander, and said, "Erwin, you owe us an explanation, soldiers are not toys for fooling."

"Yes, Levi, of course I'll explain."

Erwin nodded in the direction of the soldier captain, but Levi snorted coldly and turned his head away in disdain.Erwin didn't take Levi's attitude to heart either, but continued to explain gently to the soldiers who couldn't figure out what was going on: "After Alan Yeager joined our survey corps, this time outside the wall During the investigation, it was originally planned to find clues about the relationship between humans and giants. But three days ago, because of the order of President Thackeray, the goal of our investigation has changed."

"—Escorted the accompanying Bishop Antinomy to the Wall of Mary."

Antinomie could sense that after the start of this weird external investigation, many soldiers' eyes were glued to him.Even Allen, who was placed in Levi's class, wanted to come over to say something several times, but was stopped by his colleagues who were responsible for protecting him and monitoring him at the same time.

During dozens of investigations outside the wall, the survey corps has figured out the most efficient wedge formation method to avoid giants.By spreading out the personnel on the left and right flanks, leaving scouting squads and communicating with signal flares, the main force in the middle can almost avoid the danger of confronting the giants face to face.

Unlike the time when rushing to the giant to fight to the death when inside the wall, in the world outside the wall where it is impossible to tell where the giant will emerge from, it is the most unwise choice to spend time fighting the giant.The purpose of the survey corps taking the risk to go out of the wall is to investigate, not to exchange lives with the giants, so the battles that can be avoided will naturally be avoided as much as possible.

The team of the survey corps started from the Calanes area in the east of the Wall of Rosa, and moved towards the Xigancina area on the outermost side of the Wall of Maria.That's where Alan's hometown, which hides the secrets of the basement, is located, and it's also the place where Antinomie first started when he first came to this world.

About half a day after the operation, Antinomy suddenly approached Erwin, the leader in the center of the wedge-shaped formation, and said to him: "Let Levi's class move to the middle immediately, and move faster as a whole. There are a large number of giants coming from Follow from behind."

In order to protect Alan, a precious individual with the power of a giant, Erwin even asked Levi Ban, the most elite member of the investigation and merger regiment, to accompany him at the rear of the wedge formation.According to the experience of previous investigations outside the wall, the rear under the protection of the forward, left-wing, and right-wing reconnaissance squads should be the safest.

Therefore, when Antinomie first said that there were a large number of giants appearing in the rear, Erwin's experience of participating in investigations outside the wall several times drove Erwin to make a judgment of 'this is impossible'.However, considering President Thackeray's face, Elwin agreed to Antinomie's request and notified Li Weiban in the rear to move to the center.

But before Erwin had time for the messenger to pass this order to the rear, dozens of signal flares had been launched one after another in the rear, and the black smoke tails dragged long marks in the sky.Erwin looked at the signal from behind in surprise, and murmured, "What's going on..."

According to the agreement before departure, this type of flare is a warning sent out by the reconnaissance team when they encounter giants.The signal flare raised from the rear meant that the troops behind had encountered a giant.And there are so many signal flares...I'm afraid that what they encountered were not just giants, but groups of giants.

Seeing Erwin's face, Antinomie could guess what was going on, and immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards the rear of the wedge formation, moving so fast that Erwin had no time to stop him.While Erwin was hesitating whether to follow up to ensure his safety, a signal flare was raised from the direction of the right-wing reconnaissance squad. Erwin, whose expression changed, had no time to worry about the president's explanation, and quickly instructed the queue to move to the left. So as not to fall into double-teaming from the rear and right.

"How come there are so many giants...Damn it."

When Antinomie arrived at the rear, the Liviel class where Allen was in had already got rid of the entanglement of many giants, and was galloping towards the direction indicated by the Erwin signal flare.

Behind them, there were three strange-looking giants with different shapes and strange skeletons, which were closely chasing them and refused to leave.Antinomy no longer cared about the surprised expressions of Alan and the others, and said loudly to them: "Go forward, go to where Erwin is!"

"Wait, what are you doing here... Hurry up!" Seeing that Antinomie was about to collide with the three strange giants behind him, Allen turned pale with fright, and wanted to turn his horse and chase after him. He went up but was stopped by Petra and Elder of Levi's class next to him.

Time was running short, and Antinomie couldn't find the time to explain to Alan what he was going to do, so he could only estimate the distance and ran towards the three fast-moving strange giants.When the distance between Antinomie and the giant was already closer than the distance between him and Alan, he immediately untied the package tied to the back of the seat, shook off the black cloth and shook the silver walking stick in the package Go out, then turn the horse's head and chase in the direction of the Survey Corps again.

The moment the cane was thrown out by him, a violent silver light exploded from the cane, as if a silver sun had risen.The dazzling silver light split and interlaced in mid-air, rendering the scenery behind him into pure white.

Alan who insisted on refusing to leave, and even broke away from the restraints of the two men and got off his horse, was stung by the dazzling silver light and closed his eyes, unable to approach the silvery eyes.After he finally got used to the strong light, what he saw was a blue-haired boy riding out from the boundless pure white. The sacred silver light behind him made him look like a person in the world, and he was stunned for a moment. Allen even thought that what he saw was a phantom coming out of a myth.

At the same time, Petra and Elder, who got off their horses and chased after Allen, also rushed over while cursing Allen for making a fool of themselves. It was only when Nomi walked up to them that she came to her senses and asked, "God, what did I see... Is this real? Isn't it my hallucination?"

"It's true. I'm too excited when I release it after being locked for too long. It's inevitable that there will be a big fight." Antinomie looked at the silvery white covering the sky behind him, and listened to the occasional voices in it. The giant howled and whispered, "It's over."

The moment his voice fell, the white light that filled the sky quickly dissipated, exposing the scene wrapped in it.The three strange giants who had chased Levi's class all the way fell to the ground, their bodies riddled with holes fell to the ground and white mist rose upwards, and above the giants, a huge phantom of a spear was humming endlessly .

Antinomie beckoned, and the phantom of the silver-white spear dissipated in an instant, and returned to his hand once again in the form of a cane.As soon as the cane fell, he immediately wanted to fly up and attack Allen, but Antinomie, who was holding it firmly, was tied into the black cloth package again.

"Okay, that's amazing, is this the sacred object of the sect?" The only female member of the survey corps, Petra of Levi's class, looked at the strange giant who was covered in scars and fell to the ground not far away. Looking at the cane that Antinomie had put away again, he couldn't help but say, "If everyone in our survey corps can be equipped with a weapon like this..."

"What are you thinking about? Do you think this thing is a green onion that you can buy as many as you want? If you are heard by those nagging ghosts in the religious group, they will definitely grab your ears and teach you all day and night." The uncle looked Elder snorted and said unconvinced, "Besides, what's the use of a bright-looking toy like this? No matter how badly the injury seems to be, as long as it doesn't hit the back of the neck, the giant will still recover from the injury." ..."

"No, the giant will no longer recover. The giants that were attacked by it only have the result of stepping into annihilation in advance."

Antinomy lowered his eyelids, and turned his eyes to the giant again, and the eyes of others followed suit, "Look carefully, there is a circle of silvery white flames left on all the wounded places on the giant. It is constantly expanding due to the burning of the flame, and no recovery ability can heal it, and once injured, it can only suffer from scorching pain until it is burned to ashes."

Allen looked at the three strange giants who fell on the ground and howled and howled, and thought of the sacred object that had a strong desire to attack him when he saw him, so he shivered, "You, you should throw this thing away. .What kind of sacred object, it sounds too evil..."

Facing Allen's complaints, Antinomie just smiled and said nothing. After wrapping the sacred object with a black cloth that can block the induction, he tied it again behind the cushion on the horse's back.After recovering the weapon of mass destruction, he glanced at Levi's class, which had only three members, and asked, "Where are the others?"

As soon as he asked this question, Antinomie knew that he had asked the wrong question when he saw the dimmed expressions on the faces of the three of them.The vibration of the sacred object before was obviously due to the appearance of a large number of giants, but when he arrived, he only found three strange giants and three fleeing soldiers. Where did the rest of the giants and soldiers go... I wondered You can guess it if you think about it.

Petra with a sad expression lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Many giants, there are really many, a huge crowd of giants that can't be counted at a glance suddenly appeared, and they were chasing us closely. Behind. Captain Levi asked Elder and I to take Allen away, and he took the others...to stop the giant's pursuit."

As soon as Petra finished speaking, Antinomy was also silent.Although Elder kept emphasizing that 'a human being as powerful as the captain will be fine', a mixed atmosphere of uneasiness and sadness permeated the atmosphere. Stopping the giant on the unobstructed plain... what will be the result? It's so hard to even deceive yourself.

The three-dimensional mobile device is the most powerful weapon used by humans to fight against giants. It can not only flexibly avoid the giant's attack, but also can be used to approach the giant's vital neck to attack.The three-dimensional mobile device was originally developed for the uneven urban street environment with many buildings. On the plains without any leverage point, the helpful effect of the three-dimensional mobile device has been reduced to the minimum.

The actions of Levi and the others to stop the approaching crowd of giants are basically the same as sending them to death to delay the time for the giants to chase them.

It's a sad thing for a companion to sacrifice to protect oneself, but mourning here alone won't help.The rest of the survey corps were still moving forward, staying where they were and getting out of touch with the main force would only put them in danger, so when everyone was silent, Antinomie asked first: "Do you have any plans?" What is your plan? Go forward and catch up with the others, or go backwards to catch up with the broken companions?"

Before Allen spoke, Petra, who had packed up her sad mood, replied quickly: "The order given to us by Captain Levi is to take Allen to a safe place. Nothing superfluous will be done."

Antinomie looked at Elder, the other member of Levi's class, and Elder immediately gave the same answer as Petra. After reaching a consensus, Antinomie turned his head and looked at the man with his head buried. Allen said softly: "Let's go to Captain Erwin and report to him the losses in the rear."

"Leave like this? How could we just leave like this!?" Allen raised his head suddenly, his eyes were red, "Maybe we can save a few people when we go back now, maybe they are in danger... how can we leave them alone? Run to a safe place by yourself!"

Antinomie stared at the brown-haired boy in front of him whose eyes were dyed red with sadness and anger, as if he saw a stubborn boy glaring at him on the escape ship and ready to punch him. The image in his memory matched Allen in front of him. The overlap made Antinomie suddenly discover that Alan is still the same Alan after so many years, and hasn't changed at all.

After a while, he calmly said in a voice that could not hear the ups and downs of emotion: "Their sacrifice is to allow you to escape safely. I don't know how long you can reduce the number of sacrifices when you turn around now, but there is no one." Doubt, if you don’t move forward to command, all the sacrifices made for you will be wasted in vain.”

What he said was really a bit heavy, and he almost put a big hat that could not be refuted on Alan's head, and it was impossible to take it off.Allen turned pale, then gritted his teeth and got on the horse, expressing his compromise with silent actions.

But compromise does not mean that Allen accepts and agrees with this decision in his heart.While the four of them were chasing the main force of the Survey Corps on horseback, Allen kept his mouth shut in a rare way. He didn't speak to anyone, and just walked forward in silence with a sullen face.

He is angry.Antinomie thought of this, but still didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him.Leaving aside the position of being a friend who does not want Alan to take risks, even from the perspective of all mankind, it is the most correct choice for Alan to move to a safe place as soon as possible.

Allen, who has the power of a giant, is a major breakthrough for human beings to explore the secrets of giants, and is the only key that can solve the mystery of giants.It is precisely because of the preciousness of Alan, a special individual, that the other soldiers of Levi's class will block their lives to stop the giant, so that Alan can escape safely.

Turning their heads and running back in high spirits will only disappoint their self-sacrifice determination in vain, and let their action of sacrificing themselves for righteousness become nothing more than a joke.

After the suppressed silence lasted for a long time, Allen suddenly approached Antinomie on his own initiative, and said softly to his slightly surprised expression: "Do you know, Ermin told me a long time ago that you don't look like you?" You are a normal person. When others are sad, you are always dull and unable to empathize, lying there like an ice block to lower the temperature around you."

"It was the same when the Wall of Maria fell, and it was just now. You are always indifferent to the death of other people, and you only see a limited number of people in your eyes. Antinomy, you know that you will make others die like this. Do you feel chilled? I know you were doing it for my own good just now, but I still can’t restrain the coldness that rises from the bottom of my heart... I know that my emotions are inexplicable, but seeing you treat me differently from other people Attitude, but it can’t stop the feeling of guilt.”

Allen raised his head and looked at the silent Antinomie, the lonely expression on his face was completely different from his usual, "I used to think that you were too restrained, didn't know how to pay attention to the people around you, and all your emotions were poured into you. There are very few friends, so I have been clumsily approaching you and trying to warm you up... But I realized now that I was wrong. It’s not that you can’t see the people around you, it’s that you don’t want to see them, no Willing to let them into your world."

"Ermin said that you are not like a human being, because you have so little sense of identity with human beings. Human life is only once, even if someone you don't know dies, isn't it natural to feel sad? But why do I Can't feel, or even imagine how sad you are?"

"...Alan, if you die, I will be very sad, so I will not let you die, because we are friends." Antinomie did not answer Alan's question directly, "If it makes you feel uncomfortable , I’m sorry. But that’s who I am, and there’s probably nothing I can do to change.”

This is not his world, so naturally he can't have much sense of identity with it.Birth, old age, sickness, death, rise and fall, prosperity and death are all doomed cycles. After experiencing too much, except for the people he put in his heart, he can no longer touch his emotions.

There are too many human beings who died because of giants. We have seen the scenes where human beings almost perished a hundred years ago. How much emotion can a few soldiers sacrifice themselves to buy time?Just like now, Antinomie cares more about Alan's reaction, because Alan is the friend who has lived with him for several years and is remembered in his heart.

"Sorry Alan, I don't want to use my ideas to convince you, and I won't change because of your ideas, please forgive me... I want to know, in your eyes, am I still a friend?"

The anger or grievance Allen expected could not be seen in the clear amber eyes. The overly calm young man in front of him seemed to be simply apologizing and asking.Being watched by such calm eyes, Allen suddenly panicked, feeling as if he was making trouble for no reason and deliberately embarrassing the other party when he was agitated just now.

——I already knew that Antinomy had always been indifferent to strangers, so what did he mean by asking on purpose?Looking for an excuse to break up with the other party?

As soon as this idea came up, it was rejected by Allen himself. No, he definitely didn't want to lose this friend...

When Allen himself was at a loss as to how to reply, Antinomie was quietly waiting for his answer.But the huge shadow that suddenly appeared behind him interrupted the big boy's thinking about life. The huge female giant looked at him and smiled as if seeing a prey.

All the random thoughts in his head were startled away, and Alan no longer had time to pay attention to what he really wanted to ask, and subconsciously yelled at Antinomie: "Run!!"

The appearance of the female giant was so abrupt that Petra and Elder, who were in charge of guarding, didn't even find any signs related to the giant. The two people on the back stretched out their hands...

Antinomie was also startled when the giantess appeared, but immediately reacted quickly and twitched the reins to make the horse run faster out of the shadow of the giantess.After the female giant who was waiting for them to pass by on the road failed to ambush, she immediately stood up and chased after the fleeing crowd.

"God, this guy is really big... Twelve, no, it must be 15 meters!" Elder took the time to look back at the giantess who was chasing them, and was immediately frightened by the tall figure of the opponent. , "The bishop, hurry up and throw your stick out to kill her! A horse can't run a 15-meter-class giant. If we are chased by her, we will all die!"

Needless to say, Eldor, Antinomie's hand was already on the black cloth wrapped around the sacred object.But when his hand touched the quiet and unresponsive sacred object, an expression of disbelief appeared on the face of this calm young man very rarely.

"No, she's not a giant... She's a human who possesses the power of a giant and has transformed into a giant!"
