[Attack on Titan] Junia's Diary of a Soldier

11.

All nightmares started with a piercing cry.

"The three squads on the right rear wing have all been wiped out. Commander Erwin ordered to retreat, get rid of the giant and return to the city at full speed!!"

Mobright hurried over and said, his chest was heaving and panting heavily, and there was a bright red wound on his arm that had already soaked the entire cuff, the rough cut should have been unfortunately beaten while dealing with giants to the branches to hang on to.

"The casualties this time seem to be serious."

Oludo followed Mobrite and sped up, leaning forward slightly, frowning tightly.

"Did Han Ji ask you to come?"

Levi dropped steadily from the air to his horse's back and put away his blade to catch up. He paid attention to the wound on Mobritt's hand and asked, while he kept paying attention to the situation behind him from the corner of his eye.

"Yes, Commander Irwin sent a signal to retreat, but the scene was too chaotic, let's disperse and notify the most marginal action teams."

"I see. When I rush back to the forest, Eludo and Junia should return to the team immediately after fighting a ten-meter-level giant. Everyone, keep the fastest speed and don't hesitate."

"Yes!!"

Everyone believes in all of Levi's decisions. This is the strongest centripetal force that Levi's class will have. At the same time, Levi also believes that his team members will complete their missions and return safely.A soldier's bounden duty is to follow orders. This may be an indestructible discipline of steel, but trust is sometimes a stronger bond.

After three days of marching, they finally arrived at their destination. At first, everything was going smoothly, and there were some harassments from giants, but they were resolved smoothly. However, after arriving at the ruins, the giants were still not close to it, as if they had collectively sensed the alarm, and found the team of the Survey Corps. , moved over, the number is too alarming, there is no other way but to retreat.

The first person who died was an experienced veteran who was about to hold a wedding next month. When the fiancée in the same class watched her lover's life disappear, she screamed in grief, which opened the prelude to this bloody tragedy.

"Erudo!"

Junia quickly circled around the giant's head with an extremely disproportionate proportion compared to its body, piercing the glass bead-like green eyeballs with both knives and shouting loudly.

Erudo flew over the giant's neck and chopped off the back of the neck, and Junia removed the deeply sunken blade and jumped off the horse.

"I saw the signal to retreat, and we ran towards the forest to catch up with the captain and his team."

"it is good."

The giant's blood splashed on the face was steaming white, and Junia and Erudo rushed forward like arrows off the string.

At dusk that day, all the surviving Survey Corps troops assembled. After roll call and counting, there were a total of 560 casualties, and [-] and [-] people participated in this investigation, which means that the casualty rate reached almost [-]%. Wounded soldiers.

"There is still one kilometer to the city gate."

Sitting on horseback and watching the city wall getting closer and closer, everyone's faces showed eagerness to go home, and the exhaustion was self-evident.

"This time..."

Everyone understands what Petola wants to say. The higher the expectation, the greater it will be. Casualties, failures, frustration... The residents in the city have long been disappointed with the Survey Corps, and every expedition outside the city has brought back disappointment. , privately, residents have more and more negative opinions on the Survey Corps.

"Straighten your back!"

Levi yelled to the back, everyone straightened their backs on their horses, stopped outside the city gate, watched the gate slowly open, and inside was a street with welcome residents on both sides.

"The Survey Corps is back!!!"

"It's as lively as ever."

Erwin took a deep breath and said, the fatigue just now when he closed his eyes and opened them again has been replaced by sharpness, as the leader led the team into the city wall.

Seeing the regimental leader's back straight and jjj from a distance, and the dark green cloak fluttering with the wind, one's heart surged, and the pride of being a member of the Survey Corps could not help but arise spontaneously.At the beginning, Junia was also impressed by Captain Erwin's innate leadership aura.

"gone."

Levi reminded Junia, who was in a daze, and took a step ahead while sitting on the horse.

In the gossip, every soldier of the Survey Corps kept silent, just telling them the glory and glory of the Survey Corps with their high heads and straight backs, which is the pride of the Survey Corps!

"Hey, you found that there are a lot fewer people who didn't come back this time."

"Yes, yes, take the money we handed over to feed the giant..."

……

"Hmph, ignorance."

Oruou cursed in a low voice, he really couldn't bear the more excessive speeches and speculations around him.

"Oluou! It will be troublesome if you are heard, be patient!"

Ailudo warned Oruou, he turned his head and noticed the sympathy, contempt, and indifference of the people around him, and he pursed his mouth unwillingly.

Often the right person will be misunderstood or even misinterpreted, but it is precisely because of this that people finally realize that he is right.

Junia firmly believes in this sentence, so she believes that she is on the right path now, even if she is not understood

Don't be afraid, because there are so many companions from the Survey Corps who are advancing with their lives with her.

After returning to the base, everyone began to rest and prepare for an early return to daily training. It is customary to give a one-day vacation after the investigation outside the city. This may be something like an extra benefit for exploring outside the city. Of course, those soldiers who can never wake up will uniformly notify their families that it will not cost a certain amount of money to hand over all their relics to their families, and the suicide note will also play its role at this time.

"One day off, is Petola coming home?"

"Well, I went back to see my father. He complained in the letter that I hadn't gone back."

Petola said that there was a touch of joy on his father's brows, and it was indeed a very happy thing to be able to go home.

A few people outside also plan to go home.

"Younia won't go back?"

"Well, I won't go back, so take a good rest for a day."

So the next day, the survey corps suddenly became deserted. Almost all the people who had holidays left for home early in the morning. Will.

"Why didn't you go back?"

After taking a sip of tea and gently putting down the cup, Levi looked up at Junia who was eating bread at the table.

"It's nothing, just go back one day next time."

"That's right."

Levi was not interested in exposing the lies that others could tell at a glance, so he said a few words and continued to look at the city newspaper in his hand.

"Captain Levi never seems to have left the Survey Corps."

"I have nowhere to go."

Levi said indifferently, Junia didn't dare to continue to ask the obvious question, she hesitated to open and close her mouth a few times but still closed it.

The originally bustling Levi class suddenly quieted down, and several seats were empty. The open wooden window shone in and the sunlight hit the ground, making the room slightly warm. Junia kept silent. Clearly visible is the sound of Levi flipping through the newspaper.

"Younia, do you remember anything about your father?"

"Eh?"

Junia was surprised and caught off guard by Levi's sudden question.It's weird why you're suddenly asking about her father, isn't it?

"I just saw someone with the same surname as you on the previous list of the Survey Corps. Your surname is not common, so I asked."

The indifferent look didn't seem to be explaining, but a very trivial and casual thing.

"My father did join the Survey Corps, and died in an accident."

"That's it."

Levi raised his hand and drank the black tea in one gulp.

"My father's name is Frances Riederer"
