At night, in front of the bonfire, Ren sat on a stone and kept vigil.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening. Even in the summer when the stars and moon appeared, it was completely dark in the woods at seven o'clock. It was difficult to continue on the road. Ren arranged for a few people to keep vigil in different directions, while most of the others were lying in sleeping bags.
Fell asleep.
Neil came over: "Brother, are you worried about Lenaani and the others?"
Ren rubbed his forehead: "No, I'm more worried about Marco Allen and the others. By the way, what's going on around here?"
Neil: "Everything is normal, the night watch shift has been arranged."
"Very good, don't be careless." Ren was a little distracted.
People will die if they are killed. The 15 bandits may have gone to steal the three-dimensional mobile device of Class 1. Although they were only looking for money, they had guns in their hands. If there was a conflict, they might not be able to hurt people.
He could only hope that Reiner, Mikasa and the others arrived in time, or that Eren and the others were alert enough.
There was no talking all night, and Neil and Ren changed shifts in the second half of the night, and there were no surprises here.
In the early morning, the sun rose slowly. After everyone had finished their breakfast, Renn led everyone to continue setting off. About two hours later, they arrived at the meeting point, but no one from Class 1 arrived.
After waiting for a long time, the day lilies were getting cold. At 11 o'clock in the morning, Class 1 on the other side arrived belatedly. Reinerani, Mikasa and the others were also in Class 1's team.
The morale of everyone in Class 1 was obviously low. Christa's eyes were red from crying, and Ymir was comforting her.
"You're right." Thomas said to Ren with some frustration.
"What happened?" Renn had a bad premonition.
"Go over and take a look." Ani said, crossing his arms.
Ren walked over and found that Reiner was holding a male training soldier in his hands. The training soldier was already dead.
Alan, Jean, Marco, and Sasha were standing aside, and everyone was in a very low mood.
"What happened?" Ren asked Amin who was standing aside.
A Ming told what happened with some sadness.
That group of bandits attacked Class 1 at night and took Christa hostage. Marco Allen and the others were so careless that they didn't even arrange for a night watchman. Even after they were robbed of the three-dimensional mobile device, they didn't give up and took a shortcut.
Attacked the bandit's carriage and took back the three-dimensional mobile device and the hostage Christa.
Then the group of bandits became anxious and shot directly at the training soldiers. Unfortunately, a soldier named Bart was shot in the abdomen and was in critical condition. Fortunately, the signal flare Amin fired before the operation was blocked by Reiner Mikasa and the others sent by Renn.
The six people saw the sound of gunshots locating again. Reiner and the others directly attacked the rear of the bandits, and Alan Marco and the others attacked from the front and rear and subdued the bandits.
However, Bart has already been shot. The musket used by the bandits has a limited range and poor accuracy, but if it is hit at a vital point at close range, it will still be fatal.
Not to mention that there are no treatment conditions in the woods. With the medical level inside the wall, even in the town there may not be any way.
Bart was shot in the abdomen and died of massive intestinal bleeding, even though Mina had bandaged Bart's wound very carefully.
Jean regretted: "If we had not been careless, if we had killed him from the beginning, wouldn't Bart have had to die?"
No one knows the answer, and no one knows what the outcome will be before making a choice.
Allen did not reply. After Bart died, he almost wanted to kill the group of bandits who had been captured by them, but was stopped by Amin and Connie. This group of bandits was also a group of desperate guys who lost Wall Maria. Inside the wall
Many people are having a hard time.
Afterwards, the two teams exchanged route maps in silence and rushed to the training corps base.
Ren greeted Reinerani and Mikasa to continue setting off. Compared with the relaxed and happy mood when they came, the team was more depressed when they returned. Although there were no casualties in Class 2, after all, there was an attrition in Class 1, and Bart was very popular.
, many people in class 2 know each other, and Ren also knows him, but he is not familiar with him.
Thomas suddenly said: "I somewhat understand what you are saying. I don't want to gamble with the lives of my comrades."
Swords and guns have no eyesight. Normal people will die if they take a shot. When fighting, you really don’t have much time to hesitate. How about recalling the past, and then bursting into flames in seconds and making a comeback against the wind. Don’t take it seriously, just think about it.
.
If you really want to fight, hesitation will lead to defeat. When a person starts to be distracted and reminisce on the battlefield, this person is almost dead. There will be no miracles. Lane, who has been killed once, can testify to this.
Renn: The outcome of a battle is often decided in an instant. Memory killing is not popular because memories will really kill you.
Before Ren could reply, Ymir suddenly interjected: "Bart has no relatives anymore. Before he died, he only said, 'I don't want to die yet.' Christa blamed herself very much, and my comfort was of no use."
"It's not Christa's fault. If she hadn't given the warning, I don't even know who did it if Class 1's three-dimensional mobile device was taken away." Reiner defended Christa.
Ren sighed: "After being robbed of the three-dimensional mobile device, Allen and the others were able to regain their morale and take a shortcut to attack the bandits' carriage to seize the equipment and hostages. They actually performed very well, but they were too outrageous before."
At that time, Marco Allen and the others were too careless. They didn't think there would be any danger and went to bed without even keeping a vigil!
Realizing that something was amiss, Christa kept vigil on her own. Then, as soon as she turned around, the bandits pointed several muskets at her head. Christa only had time to scream in surprise before she was captured.
Christa: I'm desperate too.
Ren was speechless. He was sleeping in the forest without sending a few people to keep watch. How arrogant he was. He sent 8 people divided into four groups to keep watch in four directions. There was also a wave of personnel rotation. He still felt uneasy about himself.
Stayed for half the night.
Renn: There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me!
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, both classes returned to the training corps base. Instructor Keith stood on the wooden platform with a gloomy face and looked at the training soldiers below.
Instructor Keith took two record sheets and a road map and yelled at everyone: "I will post these on the bulletin board later. You all have a look at the performance of the other class and compare it with your own class, especially
Class 1.
I told you! Although most of you are teenagers around fifteen years old, you are not waste picking up stones and pulling weeds, you are soldiers! Always remember, you are soldiers! Always stay vigilant and always maintain the will to fight!
"
Everyone was silent, Marco and Allen, which made them even lower their heads in shame.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, in Instructor Keith's office, Armin, Mikasa and Neil (Mikasa went to support Class 1, and Neil also served as the recorder for Class 2 for a period of time) were reporting on their work as recorders. After all, there was nothing on the recording paper
It's impossible to be too detailed. Instructor Keith needs to know exactly what happened, who performed better and who was lagging behind.
After the report, instructor Keith did not make any comments.
Amin couldn't help but ask: "Did we make the right choice? If we handed everything over to the Military Police, would Bart not die?"
Keith shook his head: "I don't know. If it were me, I would choose the difficult path. Just like Ren, he chooses his comrades between the enemy's life and the safety of his comrades. Even if the enemy's crime does not lead to death, he will give priority.
When you kill an enemy, it's hard to say that he is right.
Arnold, which path do you think is more difficult? Which path will you not regret?"
Amin remained silent, Mikasa patted Amin on the shoulder: "Let's go."
Keith watched the three people leave.
The bandits were handed over to the Gendarmerie, and the training soldiers had accomplished a great job, but few of them were happy.
A few days later, in June 848, the training soldiers took half a month's vacation, which seemed quite long, but it was also the last vacation of the year. After that, they would train until January 849 before having a 15-day vacation.
Bart was buried in a cemetery not far from the training corps station, where many training soldiers who died due to various training or accidents were buried.
For more than a hundred years, the Training Corps has trained countless outstanding soldiers for the Wall. It is the main source of soldiers for the Survey Corps, Military Police Corps, and Garrison Corps. Former Survey Corps Commander Keith Shadis and current Survey Corps Commander Al
Vin Smith, Squadron Captain Mick Zacharias, Squadron Captain Hanji Zoyer, Commander of the Military Police Regiment Neil Decker, and Commander of the Southern Garrison Corps Doto Pixis all studied here
.
Generations of recruits grew up, died, or began their legends here.
It's a holiday, some people go home, and there are homeless people staying here, and who knows what will happen in the future?
As Mikasa said, this world is cruel yet beautiful!
In the office, Instructor Keith was sorting out the assessment results of the training soldiers. There is no doubt that as recruits, these teenagers still have a long way to go. As for what kind of soldiers they will become in the future, he does not know, but
