It was after 8 o'clock in the evening, the night was getting darker, the stars and the moon on the summer night were appearing, the cool breeze blew away the heat wave, the insects were chirping, and the small town seemed a little calm under the moonlight.
On the second floor of a small building close to the wall within the Wall of Rose, the lights were brightly lit.
On a long table, Alvin Smith, the commander of the Survey Corps, and Anka and Gustav, who were stationed at the Corps' staff, sat opposite each other.
Captain Levi stood behind the captain with his arms folded. The Survey Corps squad leader Hanji Zoyer and another squad leader Mick Zacharias sat beside Captain Alvin, as well as several elites.
At the scene, there were about a dozen people from the Survey Corps.
Allen and Renn were sitting next to Gustav and Anka. They had not yet chosen the training soldiers of the corps. Originally, they were not qualified to sit down. However, considering that they are key figures in this battle, there is a lot of important news.
You need to report, so you can sit with the bosses. Didn't you see that the commanders are all standing?
"So you relied on Eren Yeager's titan power to block the door that was kicked down by the super giant." Captain Alvin stared at Eren for a while.
"That's basically the case," Gustav said.
An hour and a half has passed. Lane, Allen, and Ian all introduced the situation in more detail. At this time, the people of the Survey Corps basically understood what happened.
Captain Alvin asked tentatively: "Can we borrow Eren's giant power for tomorrow's battle to clean up the giants?"
Hanji, who was wearing glasses and sitting on the left side of Alvin, immediately became excited. She had been a little unable to hold back before.
Han Ji: Humans who can become giants, my God, I really want to study them!
Hanji's fantasy was quickly shattered.
"I'm afraid not. The news about Allen can no longer be concealed. The order from the top management has been sent over. Allen will be detained in the basement of the trial center until the top management decides whether to stay or leave."
Gustave poured cold water on him.
Allen's face darkened. Anyone who had made great achievements and ended up in jail would not be happy. The commander had told him this news very apologetically.
"Is that so? Forget it." Alvin was a little regretful. It seemed that he had to make some preparations during the trial. Allen must be in the hands of the Survey Corps!
Next, Allen stood up with a depressed look on his face and was taken away by two arrogant military police who had just come in. He no longer had the right to move freely. Next, he was going to jail. Mikasa watched Ai reluctantly.
Lun left.
Captain Alvin watched Allen leave, and then looked at Amin first: "You proposed this plan first. How can you be sure that Allen will be able to move big rocks after turning into a giant? And he can also maintain his sanity.
Execution of the plan? It is said that he lost consciousness when he first became a giant."
Amin was a little nervous being watched by everyone in the Survey Corps: "I'm not sure, but it's worth a try."
Alvin nodded without saying anything, turned to Ren, and his eyes became sharp: "It is said that you suggested the wooden pole to be erected, and it did come in handy. Do you know that the super giant will attack the gate of Troost District?
"
In fact, what he wanted to ask was whether Ren knew someone who could turn into a giant and block the door. What a coincidence.
It is really difficult to fool some people in this world. Strictly speaking, this is not a big deal, but even such a small detail is still noticed by Captain Alvin, and he is a little suspicious. However, Ren's move is indeed a bit...
suspicious.
The wooden poles worked. After all, in the original situation, only one of the 18 people in the three elite classes survived. Now, at least 7 people survived.
This problem is a bit dangerous, and everyone in the Survey Corps is also staring at Ren.
Ren's expression did not change. He was also the squadron leader of the Border Knights before, and it was not like he had never seen big scenes: "Because if I were a super giant, I would attack the Trost area first. I just don't quite understand why I have to wait until 5
We will attack again in the next year. If it were me, I would have taken action 4 years ago!"
Gruga of Mikban was a little irritable when he heard this: "Kid, what do you mean?!"
Auluo from Levi's class was also upset and said: "Do you know what you are talking about? Do you hope that the giants will attack the city early?"
In fact, the people of the Survey Corps think far more and are sharper than ordinary people. After hearing the details of the incident, Captain Alvin felt that some of Ren's performances were far-sighted and a bit questionable.
For example, during the exercise a year ago, Commander Pixis suggested that dozens of wooden poles should be erected on both sides of the road at the gate of the Toros District. This indeed helped the vanguard class a lot, at least preventing the vanguard class from fighting on empty flat ground.
Before Amin even revealed his plan, Ren made the decision to threaten Captain Chiz with a knife to stop bombarding Allen, and decisively ordered the battle to start when Allen became motionless after turning into a giant, as if he would be able to wake up Ai.
Same as Lun!
Although Ren also said that he stabbed Allen in the back of the neck with a knife to wake him up, all of his decisions later proved to be too correct.
Captain Alvin said without changing his expression: "You threatened Chizzy to rescue Allen before. Was it out of friendship or did you also think that you could use Allen's giant power to lift the boulder and block the door?"
Alvin felt that either Renn was really sharp and farsighted, or he might know something, but it was unlikely that Renn was an enemy. When he met with the commander before, the commander had already expressed his feelings for Renn.
trust, so he only tried a few words.
Ren was unhurried and very calm: "Part of it was to save my friend. I didn't think of Amin's method. I just made sure that Allen was not an enemy and could become a giant, which is of great significance."
Captain Mick, who was on Captain Alvin's right, said: "Oh? How are you sure that Allen is not the same existence as the Armored Titan and the super giant? Just because he attacked some ordinary giants?"
In fact, many people are afraid of Allen's power. Even many training soldiers in the same period now dare not approach Allen, as if Allen will suddenly turn into a giant and eat them.
Even if Allen saves Trost District this time by blocking the door, there are still many people who are afraid and suspicious of Allen.
Even the elites of the Survey Corps looked at Allen just now with a look of caution, suspicion and fear in their eyes. Don't think they are timid. It is precisely because they are cautious enough that they can survive until now!
And from an emotional point of view, they have been risking their lives to fight against giants. It is still a bit unacceptable for a giant to suddenly appear as a comrade, except of course Hanji, who is extremely excited now.
Don’t think that people in the Survey Corps are not afraid of giants. In the original book, Allen accidentally turned into a giant and failed to control it. Several members of Levi’s squad who were guarding him next to Allen were so frightened that they almost lost their minds and wanted to hack Allen to death.
, only the soldier commander calmly stopped them.
It is difficult for people who are not from this world to understand the despair and fear of being grabbed by a giant and bitten into pieces.
Showing a calm smile, Ren looked at Mick, a man said to be second only to the captain in the Survey Corps: "Because it's unnecessary. If Allen is really the enemy, then there is no need to even act.
, as long as he doesn’t turn into a giant and appear, the Troost District will be over!
Moreover, I have trained with Allen for three years and know him better than everyone in the Survey Corps. If a person who shouts all day long to kill all the giants and trains desperately for it is also an enemy, then how many people are not worthy of suspicion?
"
Mikasa and Amin were both a little silent after hearing this. Allen is now imprisoned in the dungeon, and they don't know what the outcome of the subsequent trial will be.
Nanaba of Mikban said: "We just can't believe that one day giants can become comrades in arms."
Renn stared at Nanaba, who was somewhat indistinguishable between male and female, carefully for a while and determined that she was a woman, but she was just too handsome.
That's right, he is too handsome rather than too beautiful, because Nanaba's appearance is a bit androgynous.
With a habitual shrug, Renn said calmly: "It's okay, you can just get used to it. After all, Allen and I have been training together for three years, and we even often sit together to eat. I saw Allen drill the back of the giant's neck.
When I came out, my hands were shaking with fear."
Well, I held the knife for a little too long and it shook a few times.
Ren also pointed at Armin and Mikasa opposite and continued: "They have known Eren since they were children, and I have never seen them hurt by Eren. You really don't need to be too vigilant and afraid!"
This time Eren didn't punch Mikasa three times after turning into a giant, so Ren can say this with confidence.
As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately exploded.
