Traveling is to conquer the world

Maybe there really is this law of conservation of luck in the dark, so there is a saying about whether it is extremely peaceful or not.After the baptism of the giant crowd and the attack of the female giants, the survey corps that continued to march towards the Wall of Maria suddenly got amazing luck. They did not encounter groups of giants along the way, and occasionally encountered a few Those who placed orders were all bypassed without any risk.

It was also thanks to this kind of good luck, as if with the help of gods, that the survey corps was able to reach the high wall of the Wall of Maria four days after setting off again.

It took more than a week for many refugees to flee from the Wall of Maria to the Union of Rosa. The fact that the Survey Corps was able to arrive at the Wall of Maria within a few days was not because of their high operational efficiency. The distance by land is much closer than by water.

The straight-line distance between Maria's Wall and Rosa's Wall is no more than 100 kilometers, and even if you have to avoid giants on the road, the total distance will not exceed 200 kilometers.But the inner canal that passes through many important towns along the way is different. It is normal to spend twice as much time as it goes around with nine bends and eighteen bends.

Being outside the wall, it is naturally impossible to have any good living conditions.The veterans of the Survey Corps had long been accustomed to eating cold dry food and sleeping in hard uniforms. The recruits who had just joined the regiment were able to grit their teeth and survive without saying a word, but they had to look at them with admiration.The new generation of soldiers who grew up under the horror of the giant breaking the city, their perseverance and awareness are indeed much better than those who just joined the army.

After arriving at the Wall of Maria, the soldiers of the survey corps looked at the wall that had guarded the peace of mankind for a hundred years but finally fell into the hands of giants, and they felt a lot of embarrassment in their hearts.Even though both the Investigation Corps and the Garrison Corps have their own grievances with the Wall Sect due to the investigation outside the wall or the reconstruction of the city wall, their respect for the wall is real. No matter how you say it, it has blessed them for a hundred years. Patronus.

To put it bluntly, most people respect the walls as their mothers and parents.The giant's breaking through the wall of Maria not only means the loss of one-third of human land, but also an insult to ride on their heads.Who wouldn't want to drive the giants out and reclaim the Wall of Maria, if possible?Will suppress the humiliation and hatred and endure it, it is nothing more than the inability to do it now.

Unlike the Trost area, which could be regained by Alan's giantization and blocking the gap with stones before, the territory of Maria's Wall is too large and the occupation time is too long. It is not something that can be recovered by blocking the gap.Even if Allen turned into a giant here and moved boulders to block the gap, they couldn't deal with the large number of giants wandering in the wall of Maria.

——You must know that even those giants who invaded Troost in a small amount were all killed after the garrison regiment paid the price of hundreds of people.

Even if you don't want to admit it in your heart, people with a little common sense can see that it is completely impossible to take back the Wall of Maria at this stage, even with Allen.Erwin naturally also has this inherent impression. He has no confidence in Antinomy's so-called single-handed recovery of the Wall of Maria. It's just a loss.

The huge loss he suffered in trying to catch the giantess but failed to steal the chicken, and the huge loss he suffered in order to fulfill the president's order are two completely different concepts.

"Your Excellency's order has been completed so far. Next, it's your own business." Erwin said to the blue-haired boy who was standing in front of the Wall of Maria, thinking, "Although I really want to say please come on... ...But I still have a duty to tell you that we won't be able to stay here for long."

The Wall of Maria is no longer the Wall of Mary that waited for the bustling human market in the past. There are now a large number of giants living around the Wall of Maria, among them are those who just came in from outside the wall. , There are also those who have been wandering inside the wall for a long time but have not found their prey and are ready to go out.In such a dangerous place, soldiers have to tense up even if they take a rest, it is really not a place where they can stay for a long time.

Antinomie was also very aware of Erwin's concerns, so he didn't say the capricious words of 'you have to stay with me as long as I stay here', but just nodded, "I know, there is no need to delay too long."

After making this promise to the blond head of the survey corps, he continued to press his forehead against the wall of Maria, communicating with the will inside the wall that was interrupted by Erwin.After hundreds of years of honing and the reverence and belief of human beings, the Wall of Maria has given birth to its own consciousness, even if it is just like a newborn who is purely ignorant of world affairs, it can still carry out basic communication.

Antinomie could feel Maria's deep fear of being alone.Ever since the day when the gigantic giant destroyed the city gate and the giants flooded in, Maria no longer felt the warm admiration of human beings.Maria, who couldn't see or hear anything, was very worried. She was afraid that humans would no longer need her, so she abandoned her. After all, for this nascent consciousness born on the city wall, protecting humans was the only thing in her existence. significance.

The loneliness that no one cared about for three years made Maria fall into deep doubts, and began to question whether her existence was necessary, and even became a little nervous.And her bad mental state also cost Antinomie a lot of effort in communicating with her, and it took a long time to calm her down successfully.

After calming down the restless Wall of Maria, Antinomy should have begun the recovery work he had promised.But he didn’t know what he remembered, he had already put his right hand on the wall of Maria, and he stopped suddenly, and said to Erwin beside him: “I’m sorry, can I trouble Ellen Yeager to come here for a while?” trip?"

Erwin didn't ask too much about Antinomie's intention of calling Allen to come, but just asked the messenger around him to convey the order to let Allen come to Levi.Allen, who was also looking up at the Wall of Maria under the city wall, came quickly, and he was not the only one who came. Mikasa and Ermin also followed him, as if the three of them were taking advantage of it before being called. During this precious rest time, it was like a reunion communication.

Of course, Levi, who was in charge of monitoring Alan, followed him and didn't run away.

For a moment, Antinomie felt guilty for interrupting the conversation between the three of Alan after their long-lost reunion, but it was impossible for them to pretend to be nonchalant and call them back to chat, so he still told Alan Asked what I wanted to ask——

"Alan, do you remember what you said to Hannes when we first met?"

Whether Alan still remembers it or not, Antinomie remembers it very clearly.At that time, the thin and thin boy who was wrapped in a firewood box scolded the unprogressive city guard uncle with an angry face, telling him, "You stay in the safe wall by yourself, shut up like livestock in the pen." ready! '.

Allen, who was suddenly called over with a bewildered expression, was stunned for a moment, and after careful recollection for a while, blushing climbed up his cheeks, and he said angrily: "What are you talking about after a few years ago, who doesn't have a young and energetic middle school student?" when……"

"No, I didn't mean to laugh at you." Antinomie looked at Alan, his amber eyes were full of seriousness, "I just want to know that you still have the same attitude and think that Is the wall a fence to imprison human beings, to deprive them of their freedom and turn them into domestic animals?"

Allen scratched his face, first looked at the faces of the people around him, and then expressed his meaning tactfully, "It's been so long, I'm sure I won't be as extreme and naive as I was when I was a child... the three walls The help to human beings in the past hundred years is obvious to all, and no one can deny the importance of the wall to us. Of course... to a certain extent, the wall still hinders the progress of human beings, so the survey corps must conduct investigations outside the wall every time. There will be controversy and opposition."

Antinomie laughed lightly when he heard the words, and Allen, who wanted to restrain himself, raised his voice for a long time and finally expressed what he meant three years ago, so he stopped asking Allen this question, and just smiled lightly at him: " That being the case, then just watch and use your eyes to witness the moment when the fence fell and the livestock was freed."

The hand leaning on the wall of Maria no longer hesitated, and was deeply imprinted into the solid wall.Before everyone present had time to be shocked by how easily human palms could be printed into the wall like pressing into tofu, the deafening rumbling sound like an earthquake immediately took away all their attention.

"What's going on... It suddenly started shaking! Could it be that a crowd of giants is coming? No, it's impossible, even giants can't make such a big vibration..."

Allen, who was a little unsteady, fell down and supported the faintly trembling ground, and shouted to the others as hard as he could amidst the rumble, "Get down! Grab what you can grab, and be careful not to fall!"

The vibration became more and more intense, and the other people whose heads were full of roars couldn't hear what Allen was saying.But even if Allen didn't remind them, they themselves knew to hold on to everything around them, gritting their teeth and waiting for the sudden earthquake to pass.In a world where the sky and the earth are beginning to sway with light and darkness, only the blue-haired boy standing in front of the wall of Maria stands steadily like a green pine, and continues to push his palms into the wall little by little.

In the violent vibration that the world in front of me also began to sway, lime-like dust began to shake down from the wall of Maria's Wall, but what was exposed was a bright wall of gold and silver.As the shaking continued, part of the Wall of Maria that Allen and the others saw had shaken off all the ashes and turned into a dazzling wall of light. When everyone was stunned by this abnormality , accompanied by a sudden mournful cry, all the brilliance in the eyes began to collapse, blend, and finally converged on a small spot.

And the end point where the rays of light converged was exactly in the palm of Antinomie's hand that went deep into the wall of Maria.

After all the radiance dissipated, leaving only a spot of light in Antinomie's hand, he withdrew the palm that was printed inside the wall of Mary.It was also at the moment when he left the wall of Maria holding the light spot in his hand, this solid high wall that had been standing for less than a hundred years... suddenly collapsed!

Countless rubble and dust fell down, among which were even mixed with many large pillars whose original appearance could not be seen clearly.At the moment when the vast amount of gravel and dust fell, Allen and others subconsciously evacuated from under the wall, fearing that they would be buried by the scattered gravel.

But what is strange is that, without exception, the fragments of rubble produced by the collapse of the Wall of Maria are all scattered towards the outside of the wall!It's just... It's like it's just to avoid Antinomie who is walking slowly towards Allen and the others from under the wall!

In the palm of Antinomie's palm, one can faintly see the light spot of the woman's smile sinking into his body bit by bit, the divine power consumed to maintain the wall when it was built a hundred years ago, and the result of centuries of human worship and belief All of his divine power returned to his body.

The long-lost abundant power reverberates in all limbs, and the fullness of power even makes the eyes and ears become much clearer and sharper.At the same time, Antinomie also felt in a trance that the distance between humans and himself became farther away in an instant.

Antinomie turned his head and watched the collapse of the century-old city wall, then turned his back to Alan and the others and said, "... I have taken back the Wall of Maria."

The distance between him and Allen and others is not far physically, and even without the three-dimensional mobile device, it can be run within ten seconds.But for some reason, Allen suddenly felt that he was so far away from him who was close at hand, as if he had reached a certain height that humans could not reach at the moment the wall of Maria collapsed.

"Hey... what's going on here?" Allen stared at his back closely, as if expecting him to turn around and smile and say that it was all a joke or an illusion, and even his voice began to tremble. "I don't understand at all, Nomi, can you explain to us slowly? Didn't you mean to recover the Wall of Maria? Why did the wall suddenly collapse, and..."

"Enough, Alan. Enough is enough, don't ask any more."

Ermin grabbed Alan's hand and stopped him from walking towards Antinomie unconsciously.He turned Alan who was in a trance and looked at him, looked at Alan with serious and complicated eyes, and said word by word: "Alan, that's enough. Look clearly, it's not Alan who is in front of you." Tinomi, not human, not the friend you know—"

"He is the god who once created the wall, and now he has taken it back. He is the creator who ranks above the three wall goddesses in the religion of the church, Odin!"
