“It was my retreat order. Is there any problem?”

A faint and majestic voice rang behind everyone.

I saw Alvin, who was carrying his hands behind him, walking towards this side with a serious face.

But what surprised Dishu.

Alvin, who was originally going to shake people, was followed by only a few of his own people from the Investigation Corps.

"Captain!"

After seeing Alvin, Desha and others immediately saluted.

Even the members of the garrison who had just opposed Dishu had to do so.

According to the rules, this is what the subordinates must see when they meet the superiors.

"The order that Commander Pixis has issued has been issued. The City of Maria has been captured by the giants. It will not make any sense to continue dragging it on, so he has issued a clear retreat order. Do you have any objection?"

Alvin looked at the garrison team leader with a expressionless face.

Because of the years of fighting with giants, Alvin always feels an invisible sense of oppression when looking at people, as if in front of them, it is not a human being, but a beast that will pounce on you at any time.

This made these people stationed in the corps unable to speak for a while.

After a while, the unwilling garrison team leader clenched his fists and glanced at Desha's joking expression with his eyes. Although he was reluctant, he could only let go of his hand.

"Since it was Captain Smith who spoke, there was no objection, but I just don't know where our commander is now?"

"He is drunk and is now sitting on the wall of Torost, watching the giant in a daze."

Alvin said.

"Um......"

This is really Pixsis style.

The only hobby of that weird old man was drinking.

No matter when patrolling or doing something, I always like to suddenly take out a bottle of wine and take a sip.

It may seem incredible to get drunk at such a critical moment, but it is not surprising.

It’s hard for him to issue orders to retreat when he is drunk.

"Let's go, just leave it to them for handling."

After signaling to Disha and others, Alvin led his people to leave first.

Disha walked to the garrison team leader with a playful face and said in a tone full of contempt.

"The coward who only dares to hide behind and not go to the battlefield. If it weren't for the special situation today, I would have to throw you into the pile of giants and see how you were so scared that you were pissed!"

Facing the disdainful look on Desha, it was really hard for those who were stationed in the corps to refute anything.

The reason why they fought on the back in the name of command rather than on the front line.

The only reason is fear...

Please, that's a giant!

They don't want to fight that kind of monster.

Even in the training regiment, they had trained the skills of fighting against giants. But over the years, they could not even swing their swords.

Therefore, after learning that the Investigation Corps was on the front line, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The giant is terrible, but at least... don't have to go on it yourself, right?

......

With the collapse of the first line of defense of mankind, this news spread rapidly in all regions.

The Wang government also immediately ordered the reduction of human activities to within the second city wall, namely the Wall of Ross.

During this period, about four thousand people were eaten by giants in the entire Maria Wall.

This does not rule out the number of missing and disabled people.

This disaster finally awakened the human beings who lived like a lamb.

It was also this disaster that people finally recalled the horror that was once dominated by giants and the shame of being imprisoned in a bird cage.

......

"Report!"

"Please come in!"

Alvin put down the letter in his hand, rubbed his temples, and shouted casually to the guy knocking on the door.

Since returning to the capital, he has been working for almost three days without sleep.

During this period, he only slept for four hours.

In addition, he only came back from outside the wall a few days ago.

This made Alvin look extremely tired at this moment.

"Captain Alvin, have you not listened to your advice and had a good rest?"

When entering the door, Desha held a stack of documents and placed them on Alvin's desk.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Alvin's face that could almost be described as haggard.

"There is no way, there are too many things accumulated, and the Wall of Maria has just been broken, so those guys in the royal capital can't sit still."

Alvin picked up the cup and drank the water inside.

"The statistics are out?"

"Um."

Dishu nodded.

"The death toll is about 4,000, but this is still the case where many people do not count. The government seems to think that the casualties are too large, so it intends to suppress the number.

Therefore, compared with the death toll, the number of missing people is almost 10,000. I really don’t know what those guys Wang Zheng and others are doing all day long!”

"This is how Wang Zheng's people, especially those nobles, but this can be regarded as a wake-up call for them, otherwise their lives would be too comfortable."

"But is this really useful? They have always cared about whether they are living well. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of refugees in the Wall of Rosse, they don't see much of their money being taken out. They only know to blindly reduce the government's spending. It is said that Wang Zheng has begun to consider reducing the supply of refugees."

"There is no way. The number of refugees is too large. Originally, 70% of the food was provided by the residents of the Wall of Mary. But now the Wall of Mary has been broken and one-third of the land has fallen. It will not last long for the government's food supply to support it. Those guys may find ways to reduce the burden at that time."

Hearing this, Disha sighed helplessly.

There is no way, when grain output cannot keep up with expenses, population burden will be the biggest problem.

I'm afraid that the government guys will find ways to close their extra mouths.

For example...The Maria Wall Reclaim Plan!

"Okay, I'm not asking you to come to tell you this. These are all problems that the government should be troubled by. I specifically called you here today to ask for your opinion."

"What's the opinion?"

Disha was slightly stunned.

"What do you think is our enemy?"

"Is it human?"

Hearing this, Disha gave an answer that he had known for a long time.

“Yes, it’s humans!

All this is so strange. Before this, we have encountered many strange giants, but those giants are different from the super-large giants and armored giants a few days ago.

The two giants seemed to have their own wisdom and knew their purpose.

And even when they appeared, it was very strange, as if they appeared out of thin air.

It's like... someone is manipulating all this behind the scenes!"

"Captain...you mean our enemy, actually, have always been humans?"

Desha pretended to be shocked, but he didn't expect Alvin to think of this so much in advance.

The expression immediately became solemn.
