Only you are irreplaceable

In February 845, Aurora took part in the Extramural Survey for the first time.

The main task of going out of the wall this time is still to establish a stronghold further afield.Crowds gathered in front of the thick city walls, and Captain Keith was doing the final pre-war mobilization.

Aurora was holding the rein, her slender fingers turned slightly white. Although she had fought large monsters before, she was still a little apprehensive about facing unknown creatures.

It's not yet the time to use the ability. For safety's sake, Erwin and the others urged her to stay with Levi.Fortunately, this time it happened to be very close to the position assigned by Luna. They were also on the left wing of the entire formation, and having familiar people as companions could also relieve some of the psychological pressure.

Aurora kept adjusting her breathing to try to calm down, there was nothing to be afraid of!The more than half a year of training is all for today.

Let more people survive, this is the meaning of her fight.

"The city gate will open in 30 seconds! Everyone is ready!"

"Aurora, you must follow me when you get out of the wall."

Levi rarely called her that, Aurora saw him pale and thought he was uncomfortable, took out mints from his bag and asked him if he wanted any, but what he got was Levi's dead fish eyes.

? ?What happened to her? ?

Luna, who witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but hold her forehead, Aurora, you can be a little more confused...

Although Aurora is a big fool, judging from the level of concern of Levi's squad leader, Aurora's status in his heart is definitely not low.

In private, she asked many times if they were that, but she was flatly denied.

But look at the situation today... Oh my god, it's so sweet!It's time!

"The survey corps' 25th investigation outside the wall has begun, and all members are moving forward!"

The horses rushed out to the wider world outside the wall, and the iron hoofs splashed the soil with the smell of the new year. With the neighing of the horses, the soldiers galloped on the flat ground like a gust of wind.

Alvin and the others were not far from the front right, judging the direction of travel based on the reports from the signal flares everywhere.Aurora's left wing has not encountered a giant so far, and the calmer it is, the more disturbed she is.

Traveling to the present, the terrain has been constantly changing.On the left side of the area was the woods, the branches had just sprouted new shoots, and the bare branches were intertwined and complicated.The range of the forest is not small, and the depths of the forest cannot be seen with the naked eye. The gloomy weather and the continuous brown bushes are like a black hole that will suck people in at any time.

"Aurora, don't stretch your body so straight, you will get tired after a long time."

Usually he likes to joke so much, but today he has a serious face since the whole team.

Is it because of the first time out of the wall?

Speaking of which, she was so scared that she almost fell off her horse when she participated in the investigation outside the wall for the first time, and she had nightmares for a week after returning.This matter has been ridiculed by friends in the same class for a long time...

After listening to Luna's suggestion, Aurora adjusted her posture, and her body relaxed a lot. Could it be that she was really too nervous?

She stared straight ahead without saying a word. From the time she stepped out of the wall, her heart was in a state of ups and downs and she always felt uneasy.The woods really look like an enchanted black forest...it feels like a monster is about to burst out at any moment.

Alvin doesn't let her use attack and defense, but it doesn't matter if she uses her perception ability?

Aurora quietly closed her eyes and expanded her mental power to sense if there were any signs of biological activity nearby.

It's on the left!

In an instant, Aurora jumped from the stirrups onto Luna's horse with all her strength, and before she could react, she grabbed the collar and threw it in Levi's direction.

It was too late for the soldiers on the side to recover, and the 12-meter-tall strange species held her in its hand and rushed to the depths of the woods.

Levi caught Luna accurately, took out the black signal flare and fired it, then looked back at the woods, anger flowed in his dark eyes, and a cold breath surrounded his body.

It is not sure whether there are giants in the woods, so you can't lead a team into it rashly.The hundreds of meters to the right are all flat land, and ordinary soldiers have little chance of success in combat. If they want to save the little ghost, he has to act alone.

"Everyone, two teams close to other positions on the left wing. Luna Miller sends messages to the middle of the team. Spread out!"

"Squad Leader Levi, Aurora..." Luna sat on Aurora's horse in shock, her body trembling uncontrollably. How did she know...that giant would come out of the nearby woods?

"Obey the order!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and drove towards the woods.

"Yes!!" Aurora, must live!

cough!Blood poured into her mouth, and Aurora swallowed non-stop, trying to suppress the smell of rust, but things went against her expectations, and the corners of her mouth were already stained red.

It hurts, the rib must be broken.

Can't be so unlucky?It was the first time she encountered a strange species, and she was so fast that she had no time to add a shield to herself.

Sure enough, it was as disgusting as what Levi said, if she grows up like this, she can't wait to apologize with death immediately.

humming-

A few invisible sharp blades burst out from the air to cut the palm of the strange species, and the thin figure wearing the wings of freedom jumped up on the giant's deformed and slender arms, and carved into the enemy's shoulder with three-dimensional maneuvers, driving her to fly over.

The body quickly tightened and rotated, the blade slashed from the eyes all the way down to the mouth, blood splashed on Aurora's cloak, there was still blood at the corner of her mouth, and the gray-green pupils were covered with haze.

"Hey, you just wanted to eat me, but unfortunately your mouth is really smelly. Even if you are so far away, it makes you want to vomit."

Standing on the tree trunk, Aurora couldn't help but vomited another mouthful of blood, it's over, she will definitely be disciplined now.She was taken so far by this idiot giant, and she didn't know what happened to the squad leader and Luna, so she had to get rid of the giant and find a way to go back.

She rose into the air again, writhed and plunged the nail hook into the opposite branch, the back of the giant's neck was exposed in front of her eyes, and after a cold snort, it spun down extremely fast.

Two seconds later, steam bursts from the nape of the neck.

This was the first giant she had hunted.

There was a sound of horseshoes not far away, and Aurora just put away the blade when he saw Levi.

"Squad leader!"

Levi reined in the rein and stopped the horse, his gray-blue eyes seemed to have thick ink flowing, and he stared at the blood-stained Aurora without saying a word.

"Squad leader! I'll kill it! It's great, it's great~" Aurora couldn't hold back her complacent energy, she blinked her starry eyes and hoped that Levi would praise her, and she nodded if she couldn't do it OK!

Seeing that she was still talking and laughing, Levi finally relaxed his frown, and his slightly pale face eased.Fortunately, she solved it herself.

The strongest human being chose to ignore the little girl who cut down a giant and seemed to conquer the world. She glanced at the traces on the ground lightly, grabbed Aurora and sat in front of her like a chicken, clamped her legs around the horse's belly, turned around and pressed Backtrack.

Levi's driving speed is fast, and the bumps are strong.What happened to Aurora was unspeakable, and now she was on the monitor's horse, so she had to hold back and not vomit.

She is such a miserable girl...

They quickly found the direction of the main force and stopped at the first supply point half an hour later.

Aurora staggered off the horse, walked straight to a camphor tree on the outermost side of the supply point, got up without breathing, and knelt down with weak knees.

Yes, give the tree an early New Year greeting.

"Cough...cough..." A big mouthful of blood splashed out, and Aurora stretched his hand to touch his ribs. It was a good job, and at least three of them were broken.

"Little ghost, are you running so fast because you are rushing to reincarnate?"

The squad leader's voice is really nice, it would be even better if he didn't scold me.

"Squad leader, you should stay away from me."

The polite and slightly distant tone sounded strangely harsh to Levi.Although he knew that she would not be so stupid that she would not use her abilities when facing the giant alone, but when he entered the woods, he was rarely nervous.Although he has only been with this kid for more than half a year, he understands that he doesn't want to lose the people around him anymore.

What the hell is this brat thinking?Levi strode forward and lifted Aurora's body upright, ready to criticize and educate her.

The words that came to his lips were abruptly held back, this... how miserable is it?

The corners of her mouth and her chin were covered in blood, and there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on her forehead. Look at the big pool of blood behind her.

It must have endured until now.

"Why put up with it?"

Aurora tried her best to squeeze out a smile, regardless of whether she was ugly or not, a grin with eight teeth must be arranged.Forcibly put on a brisk tone and tried to smile: "Because the blood is not easy to wash, the squad leader came back to save me just now, how can I cause more trouble?"

"Do you think this is more important than life?"

Before she could think about how to reply, she felt dizzy, and she was actually hugged by Levi!

"Squad leader!"

"To shut up."

The helpless hands didn't know where to put them, they could only hold them in front of their chests and tremble, she was terrified!Is this something she can fish for free?

Levi walked very steadily, his straight figure revealed a touch of elegance, and even the princess's hugging posture was more beautiful than ordinary people's hugging.It doesn't matter if the arm strength is amazing, after walking such a long distance, it is hard to breathe without any aggravation.

The strongest human being is indeed the strongest in every sense.

Aurora tried her best to shrink herself into a quail, trying to shield other people's eyes of surprise, envy or sympathy.

She's about to become a target again.

She is the only one in the class, and there is no one to compare and let her judge whether Levi treats her well or treats everyone else the same way?Maybe she was thinking too much?

Aurora looked up at Levi, probably because he used to live in the underground street, and he had a very contradictory sense of union.Righteousness and ruffianism blended just right, coupled with that beautiful face that everyone said after seeing it, she was only about to have the last hundred million bits of courage to overthrow the monitor.

Levi also startled Alvin when he carried her into the tent.

It's going fast, isn't it?The hero saving the beauty is indeed the most effective trick, and it has been tried and tested.

"How's it going?"

"A few ribs were broken, and she said it could be repaired overnight, so I didn't send her to the team doctor to avoid suspicion."

Seeing her distressed look, Han Ji felt a little distressed, so he soaked a towel and wiped the blood on her face, then gave her a few painkillers and stuffed her into a sleeping bag to let her have a good rest first.

Captain Keith was discussing the next route with Alvin, and after seeing Aurora fell asleep soundly, he asked, "How is she doing today?"

"The position of the strange species was sensed at the first time and a soldier was rescued, and he was successfully beheaded when his ribs were pinched."

After listening to Levi's report, Alvin nodded slightly approvingly, "As a soldier who came out of the wall for the first time, this level of composure is really rare. It is still the first time that he successfully attacked a giant. An extremely fast strange species. Commander, I think that in time, Aurora will definitely become a fighting elite comparable to Levi."

"Since you have said so, then I will trust your judgment, Alvin."

When she woke up again, she had recovered in sevens and eighties, and her state had returned to a state of full vitality.Facing ordinary giants that occasionally appeared, he didn't panic at all, chopping up giants was as quick as cutting melons and vegetables.The veterans around kept sighing, the soldiers brought out by Levi are just different!

It's a pity that this investigation failed because of the failure of Captain Keith's assault plan, which caused them to lose their stronghold. On the way back to the city, they encountered a dense crowd of giants. Except for Erwin and Hanji's team, the other teams suffered heavy losses.

Aurora keeps spinning and rising like a perpetual motion machine, and she is hunting giants crazily.But no matter how fast it was, some comrades in arms were still swallowed by the giant.

There were screams one after another, and some people were bitten off by giants before they even had time to draw their knives. Is this a purgatory on earth?

She saw the fear and unwillingness in their eyes, it was really... infuriating.

No matter where you go, the world is cruel.

Another giant fell to the ground, and Aurora jumped back to the horse panting, the blade had been shattered.Not far away was the terrifying scene of blood flowing into a river. She didn't dare to turn her head, and numbly changed to a new blade to enter the next round of crusade.

Could it be that if she cut them faster, she would be able to save them?

Back in the city, the atmosphere in the troops had dropped to freezing point.The people around are saying that Captain Keith's bravery and lack of strategy caused the heavy losses of the Corps, but he was protected by the regiment members and survived.And there are those who yell about not understanding why their tax dollars are doing such useless work to the Scout Corps.

Aurora pulled off the brim of her hat to cover her face. The sunlight in the city was so dazzling that she was in a bad mood.

Captain Keith submitted his resignation report a week later and recommended Irving as the next head of the Survey Corps.

On the day he left the Corps, Aurora met him in the corridor.

"Captain."

"Stop calling me captain."

"Aurora, will you always stick to your beliefs when you joined the Corps?"

Aurora didn't answer right away, the man in front of him was exhausted, which was embarrassing.Although she used to think that he was not smart enough as a leader, in the past half a year or so, she has seen his sincere heart.

Keith Shadis really cares about and loves the cause of the Survey Corps.

Aurora stood still and solemnly offered a military salute.

"I will never forget the original intention of joining the Corps. As long as I am still alive, I will work hard to protect more people. After so many years of hard work, please spend the rest of your life well."

In March 845, Alvin Smith was appointed as the head of the No. 3th generation survey corps, and Levi was awarded the position of soldier commander.
