In a deserted small village, three squads of members of the Survey Corps began to intercept the female giant.
"laugh!"
A bloodstain appeared on the female giant's arm, and Ani soon discovered that these people were obviously much more wary than the previous waves of people. They usually left at the first touch, and never took the risk of attacking the back of her neck, but just hung around her.
.
After Ren reminded the group leader and others, the group leader especially emphasized the danger of intelligent giants to the people of the Survey Corps.
The old experience of dealing with odd-shaped species may not be effective, and the main purpose is to delay or retreat when encountering them. And based on Eren's loss of strength or coma after becoming a giant, Alvin formulated a "bloodletting" tactic.
There are currently a total of 14 people in the three squads besieging the female giant in the village, and two people have been killed. The person in charge is Dilk, a veteran who has joined the Survey Corps for nearly ten years.
He was very cautious and did not try to take off the giantess' head. Instead, he asked people to delay the progress of the giantess and keep causing wounds on the giant. The leader said that this might consume the giant's physical strength!
But even with such caution, the interception teams of three squads soon suffered casualties.
Ani felt troubled. The bloodletting tactics of the Survey Corps hit her weak point. Once too much energy was consumed, subsequent actions would be very troublesome.
She deliberately showed a weakness and stopped guarding the back of her neck. Sure enough, two people seized the opportunity and slashed at the back of the giantess' neck, but they didn't know that the giantess had the ability to harden her skin.
"Crack!"
The sound of the blade breaking was heard.
"What's going on? Why can't it be cut?" An investigator took advantage of the opportunity and slashed the back of the giantess' neck with a look of astonishment.
"Snapped!"
The female giant slapped the investigator to the ground with a backhand, causing blood to stain the ground red.
"boom!"
The female giant jumped up and whipped her leg in the air towards the two investigators who were trying to cut the tendons in her feet.
"Bang! Bang!"
The two investigators were kicked into the wall of the house, blood spattered.
Seeing this, Dilk forced himself to calm down and fired another purple flare into the sky: "Stop everyone, don't stop me!"
"But, further ahead is the center of the formation!" said one of the investigators, sweating profusely.
"Believe the leader, he said before that if you encounter a wise giant and you can't stop it, don't stop it, retreat!"
Without hesitation, the three squads retreated decisively. Ani was a little confused, but she did not pursue them, or she had no time to pursue them.
In this way, the female giant walked diagonally through the long-distance enemy-seeking formation. Many people along the way saw the purple flares and chose to intercept them as long as there was suitable terrain.
Although the investigators knew that they might be facing an intelligent giant and were careful, many people still died, mainly because the female giant's skin hardening ability and excellent fighting skills were too difficult to deal with.
From tearing apart the formation, to changing direction and chasing after Levi Ban, the female giant killed more than thirty people along the way. This was because Amin discovered it early, determined that the female giant was intelligent, and fired the purple flare, otherwise
More people are going to die.
"Plop!"
An ordinary giant fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Renn put away the blade and jumped on Tiguris' back.
From now on, even after they fired the red flare, the regiment leader's green flare did not change direction.
The enemy-seeking squad in the first line had to fight against the approaching giants. Sometimes a few giants would sneak into the second line. He had already killed two ordinary giants. Fortunately, no female giants appeared on his left wing, so everyone could still support them.
Ren rode forward and caught up with Sasha in front: "Sasha, did you see the green flare that changed direction?"
Sasha was confused: "We were heading east before, but after changing direction once, it was gone. We haven't changed direction since some time ago!"
Frowning, Ren looked at Sasha's squad leader: "Senior, there seems to be something wrong with the formation. Where will we end up if we go forward like this?"
The squad leader was also sweating on his forehead: "There seems to be something wrong with the right wing. After the signal bomb was launched to the east not long ago, the leader didn't know why he didn't change the direction. A little further on, he reached the Forest of Giant Trees!
There are big trees that are 70 to 80 meters high. Except for the middle column that can pass through the forest, we have to go around the forest!"
Ren didn't know why. He was a little confused now. He couldn't remember anything. He could only roughly guess that the leader and the others were planning to do something in the forest.
The forest of giant trees was already in sight, and Ren even saw Mikasa and Connie behind him. They had already caught up.
Ren asked: "Mikasa, what's going on over there?"
Mikasa seemed to be thinking about something. As long as Allen was not involved, she was actually very calm: "Seniors asked us recruits to gather together and intercept the giants trying to enter at the outskirts of the forest."
Connie looked puzzled: "What about the formation?"
Mikasa said calmly: "There is no longer any formation."
Before anyone could say anything more, Sasha's squad leader said: "Recruits, tie up your horses and get up the tree immediately."
Everyone got off their horses and led the horses to a corner of the woods. There was no need to worry that the Innocent Giants would attack the horses. They generally did not attack animals, with the exception of "Monkey Brother".
A group of recruits used three-dimensional maneuvering devices to fly to those giant trees that were 80 meters high. The recruits stood on the branches 30 meters above the ground and were waiting. These branches were also thick and they could even lie on them.
After a while, a group of Innocent Giants were attracted. They stared at the dozen recruits on the tree with their teeth and claws splayed. Some giants even started to climb the tree.
The Immaculate Giants are not very intelligent, but they are not wooden sticks. They also have some animal instincts and even simple learning abilities.
Connie looked at the dozen giants under the tree with a cold sweat: "I said, what are we doing? Isn't it time to retreat? Why are we here?"
After thinking for a while, Mikasa said: "What might the leader be planning?"
Sasha was very puzzled: "Why don't we know anything?"
Because Lang Mie does not allow information to be leaked, the regiment leader is actually right, there are really two spies among the recruits! A Ming just accidentally told a certain Tiehanhan about Allen's location.
Realizing something, Mikasa's face condensed slightly: "Maybe he is on guard against something. The leader feels that we are not worthy of trust."
Connie looked confused: "We can't be trusted? What have we done?"
Seeing this, Ren explained: "It's not just that we can't be trusted, it's that few people are trustworthy!"
With a curious look on her face, Sasha asked: "Ren, do you know anything?"
Ren didn't hide it. The problem didn't lie here. There is a high probability that there are no spies among the people here: "Eren can turn into a giant, which means that the armored giants are also transformed by humans. It is very likely that they have sneaked in. Anyone
Anyone who has been in the group for less than 5 years is not worthy of trust!"
Mikasa thought of Allen. She was a little uneasy and stared at Ren: "Are you saying there is a traitor among us?"
Ren spread his hands: "Obviously, remember, don't tell anyone what I said today. There is no problem on our side, which means the spy is not here, but it is hard to say on the other side."
He didn't know who was a spy, but these people in front of him were not. It was impossible for Mikasa, and it was impossible for Sasha. Connie was born in Lagago Village, not far from Dow Jones Park Village. Considering Connie's character, he was
The possibility of becoming an armored giant or super giant is almost zero.
Everyone was silent for a while, and Kenney, who had some reaction, said: "It must be something very important, but we don't know what happened on the right wing, so we can't speculate."
Connie was right. The smart men on the right, A Ming and Jean, had already guessed that the group leader wanted to capture the female giant, but neither of them publicized it.
And no one here knows what happened, so they can't speculate.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
There were constant sounds in the forest of giant trees, and it felt like a dozen cannons were bombing.
Everyone was confused. Reiner on the other side was a little uneasy and didn't know if he should help. As for whom, it was hard to say.
Reiner and Berthold did not take action in the end. Now the senior's order is that the recruits must wait in the trees. If they dare to leave now, there is a high probability that they will be suspected. This is why Renn did not go in to help.
.
In the forest, after sacrificing more than a dozen members of the support team who were trying to stop the giantess, Allen's Levi squad finally led the giantess into a trap.
The weapon invented by Han Ji, countless steel thorns penetrated the body of the giantess, tightly restraining her.
But the hardening ability of the female giant left the group leader and others helpless. Just as the group leader was about to explode, the female giant opened her mouth and howled.
"Scared~"
Not long after, Ren and the others heard a desperate roar outside the forest.
"Boom! Boom!"
After hearing the howl of the giantess under the tree, the giant stopped trying to catch the recruits and rushed directly into the forest!
After hearing this voice and seeing the abnormal behavior of the Unsullied Giant under the tree, Ren suddenly realized that he finally remembered some details and knew that the leader and the others had failed.
