Attack on Titan's Silent Watch

"So-so. For the sake of being his son's 'friend', let me stay for a few days." Vanessa's eyes slanted to one side, and she seemed reluctant to mention what happened during that time.

Erwin didn't expect Vanessa to bring back any useful information, but just wanted to use this incident to judge Vanessa's position and understand her status among the nobles.Now it seems that she really has no status at all, knowing the danger of investigating outside the wall but still letting her come back.

That being the case, the Survey Corps will become the only "life-saving straw" that Vanessa can rely on, and the chance of her betrayal will be much lower.And if she can help her regain the property of the Sterling family, those nobles who oppose the survey corps will no longer accept her, which is equivalent to cutting off the possibility of Vanessa sticking to the family position, if there is no "change" in it .

Vanessa didn't want to have too much communication with Irwin, so she deliberately asked impatiently: "Is there anything else that Captain Irwin wants to order?"

"It is said that you are very familiar with Fitch Boswell, he is missing, are you not in a hurry?"

Vanessa folded her hands and looked at the floor, "It's useless to be anxious, I'm planning to look for it together tomorrow."

"sorry to bother you."

After Vanessa left, Erwin frowned, raised his chin and fell into thought.When she was answering the question just now, Vanessa didn't look directly at him, vaguely feeling that she had something to hide.

Furthermore, what is the purpose of Senator Russell's meeting with Vanessa?Do you want her to be the internal response?But under the surveillance of Levi, it is impossible for her to have access to the secrets of the Corps, and it is difficult for her to pass on the news.Could it be that Russell colluded with Niobe, intending to let Vanessa die in the investigation outside the wall and then use this to attack the investigation corps?But Vanessa is not the kind of person who is willing to be an abandoned child. If that is the case, she will definitely ask them for help.

There may be a bigger conspiracy hidden behind this.

Vanessa came to Del's dormitory and pulled Del to the corner of the hallway, "Cathy told me that she wanted to make up with you."

"Really?" Dale held Vanessa's hand in surprise, this was the first good news she heard this year.

"But I think it's better for you not to get too close to her." Vanessa hesitated for two seconds, and said to herself: "I always feel that she is a bit unnatural."

"Where is it not natural?"

"It's nothing." Vanessa didn't know what she was worried about. It might be that what happened recently made her a little nervous.With a forced smile, Vanessa patted Dai'er on the shoulder, "Then see you upstairs tomorrow night."

The next day, Vanessa and Casey also joined the ranks of looking for Fitch. They first came to the Gendarmerie to understand the situation. As expected, the Gendarmerie had not yet started the investigation due to the lack of manpower during the holiday.The military police who received them persuaded them perfunctorily: "You better not look for them, maybe they regret joining the Survey Corps and deserted."

"I don't allow you to insult our comrades in arms like this." Vanessa warned with a gloomy face.

The gendarme was shocked by Vanessa's sudden aura, but he still said angrily: "In this case, you should go back and wait for the news."

Reconcile (3)

Fitch's disappearance made people in the survey corps panic. After several days of searching, Erwin looked at the plan that was about to be submitted to the president, and finally made a hard-hearted decision.

In the cafeteria, although everyone who should have returned has already returned, the atmosphere is clouded with gloom. Everyone is worried about Fitch's situation, and some people have even pessimistically 'predicted': "Fitch may be dead. But as soon as the words came out, he was elbowed by his companions and warned in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Erwin and Levi came to the cafeteria while everyone was there, and stood at the front of the cafeteria.Seeing the attitude of the regimental commander and the captain, the soldiers stopped their meal and sat down facing the two of them.

After seeing that all the attention was shifted to himself, Erwin announced solemnly: "The search for Fitch Boswell is all stopped, and the next thing will be handled by the Gendarmerie. Starting tomorrow, everyone will Enter a state of readiness and make final preparations for the upcoming investigation outside the wall."

Everyone looked at each other silently for a second, then stood up and saluted Erwin, "Yes!"

Sitting down and continuing to eat, the rest of Levi's class found that Vanessa had a lump in her throat, unable to speak or eat, and could only stir the vegetable soup in the bowl with a spoon.

It was fine before next year's holiday, how could it become like this?

Seeing Vanessa in this state, the companions cast sympathetic glances.Elder comforted: "Fitch is your very good friend when you were training the corps. If even you get depressed, he will definitely feel bad."

"Thank you..." Vanessa's eyes were a little wet, she took a deep breath and tried to hold back her tears, and then said to Petra: "Compared to me, Dai'er is probably more self-blaming, please enlighten her if you can, isn't it Her fault."

"Okay." Petra agreed.

After dinner, Vanessa pulled Del and Kathy to the roof, and Del took out the box of chocolates before, "I'm sorry, if I did something wrong before, please forgive me."

"Let's let the past pass. I earned a lot of money by working part-time this holiday, and my family's life is guaranteed. My mother's illness has also improved, and my father doesn't have to work so hard anymore..." Casey's eyes wandered, unable to find When she got to the focus, she mechanically repeated what she said in the dormitory yesterday, but she still didn't say the reason for losing her temper.

Suddenly, Kathy stared at the chocolates in Dill's hands and changed the subject, "Are these the chocolates you're talking about?"

"Yeah." Dai'er opened the box and handed it over.She also hasn't eaten since being smashed.

Kathy looked down at the box full of chocolate chips, except for those stolen by Vanessa, there was nothing missing.

"Can I have a piece?"

"Of course." Dale nodded happily.

Picking up a piece of chocolate and putting it into her mouth, Kathy licked the residue on her lips, "It's really delicious." Looking up at the bright night sky, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye inadvertently, as if the sky passed by meteor.

Maybe Fitch's disappearance made everyone unhappy. The three of them had their own concerns, and silently took turns to pick up the chocolate and put it in their mouths until there was not even any crumbs left. ended in silence.

During the training the next day, Dai'er found that Kathy was much more cheerful, and compared to last year, her slashing skills were much more refined. Even Nanaba couldn't help but praise her for 'improving rapidly'.Afterwards, Kathy and Dill talked and laughed as before, training together, eating together, and being criticized together for doing something wrong.

Casey let go of her grievances and reconciled with Dai'er, and Dai'er felt a little less guilty.

A few days later, news came from the Gendarmerie that Fitch's disappearance would be treated as 'evading service'.Although people who knew Fei Qi thought it was impossible, even if he was aggrieved, there was nothing he could do.For the Gendarmerie, this is the most trouble-free and the most sensible way to deal with it.A Survey Corps soldier who ran away because he couldn't bear the hardships of life was the most acceptable explanation for most of the masses.And some military police chiefs have already seen the clues, and deliberately did not investigate further.

woods (1)

From year to year, after many days of planning and preparation, when the ice and snow melted and the spring revived, the Survey Corps ushered in the first extraterrestrial investigation in 849.This time, they will set off from the Trost District without stopping at any stronghold in the middle, and go directly south.

There is a vast forest between the frontier stronghold and the wall of Maria. If you bypass this area to build a supply route, you will take a lot of detours due to the terrain, so the best way is to go directly through the forest .But there are many dangers hidden in the woods, and these dangers cannot be avoided by using the long-distance search formation. If you encounter giants during the march, it will be very troublesome, and it may even cause the large troops to lose their way in the woods.

Therefore, the mission of this survey outside the wall is to open a road in this woods leading to the Wall of Mary, and set up a stronghold in the middle for supplies.

This is the third extramural investigation that Daier has participated in since she joined the Survey Corps. In a sense, she is already considered a 'veteran', and she no longer has the treatment of being placed at the back of the formation when she first came in.Dai'er and Casey's squad is on the second floor from the front left this time. If the squad in front is completely annihilated, they will have to rely on them to protect the safety of the rear.

After walking on the plain for half an hour, red smoke bombs rose in front of them.

"It's a giant." Without anyone reminding her, Dai raised her flare gun and fired it into the sky.

After a while, a 'hot' giant corpse quickly passed by them. It seemed that the squad in front had successfully dealt with the giant.But before there was much time to breathe, another giant sprang out from the nearby bushes.Just when the giant jumped at Casey, Casey quickly jumped off the horse, and immediately shot the claws at the giant and flew up to avoid hitting the ground.

Daier rode to the front of the giant and fired a smoke bomb at the giant's face. The giant whose vision was blocked stood up blankly looking for the prey.Just as its gaze re-locked on Dai'er, Casey had already aimed at the back of its neck, and the giant who hadn't taken a step suddenly lost momentum and fell face-to-face.

After the giant was eliminated, Dai excitedly ran to Casey on horseback, "We successfully killed the giant."

Seeing these recruits grow, it
