The uniform salutes attracted more people's attention. When they realized that it was the messenger of God who had arrived, more and more people gathered around.

Mu Sheng had to use his hardening ability to create a platform under his feet so that people behind him could see him.

Such a miracle caused another commotion among the crowd. After Mu Sheng raised his hand and made several downward movements, the crowd gradually quieted down.

"My fellow countrymen, I am Victory Held," Maki Sheng's voice was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears through the sound amplification structure under the stage.

"Like all of you, I am an ordinary person living outside the city walls, working hard every day for three meals a day."

"If life continues like this, maybe I will marry an ordinary woman, have an ordinary child, and live an ordinary life."

"But!" Mu Sheng's tone suddenly became sharp: "The giant is coming!"

"The giant destroyed Wall Maria. This day we lost our loved ones, our homes, and our land."

“Lost everything!”

Makisheng's words brought people's thoughts back to the day when the Maria city wall was destroyed, and many people showed sad expressions on their faces.

"That day, I was caught by a giant while I was running away, and the giant swallowed me into his stomach."

At this point, exclamations and voices of disbelief rang out again among the crowd.

"The Lord God's Messenger was eaten by a giant? That means he is dead!"

"I know, I know. It must be the Holy Light! It was the God Mosai who saved Lord Victory!"

"."

Mu Sheng ignored the noise of the crowd and continued:
"The giant's mouth stinks, and his stomach is very hot. Just when I thought I was going to turn into a pile of giant feces."

"The Holy Light has arrived!"

"He gave me a new life, endowed me with divine power, and gave me the mission to resist evil!"

"But what is evil?" Mu Sheng looked around, as if asking everyone.

However, without waiting for everyone to respond, he continued:

"I have been thinking about this question for more than a year. The giants broke through the city walls and cruelly ate more than 10,000 of our compatriots, so the giants must be evil!"

"But giants are just minor evils."

"Rich people and bureaucrats who have enough food but would rather use it to make wine and feed livestock than to feed their fellow citizens who are about to starve to death"

"The upper class would rather let 25 people die than have their extravagant lives affected"

"We just want to live, even if we are bullied and insulted, even if we work from morning till night every day and only get a piece of dry bread"

"But, but!"

"They are going to take away even this humble request!"

"These people," Mu Sheng said sternly, "Aren't they more evil and cruel than the giants?"

Mu Sheng's stern shout echoed throughout the entire city of Desay thanks to the loudspeaker.

After the crowd was silent for a long time, someone finally let out an angry shout.

"Kill them!"

This shout was like a spark, instantly igniting everyone's emotions, and people began to roar in anger.

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

Seeing this, Mu Sheng clenched his fist and waved his arm:
"First kill the internal thieves, then destroy the external enemies, drive out the evil, and the holy light will last forever!"

The crowd also changed their slogans. Tens of thousands of people roared in unison. The gathered sound waves were like thunder in a clear sky. The huge sound waves seemed to break the clouds in the sky.

"First kill the internal thieves, then destroy the external enemies, drive out the evil, and the holy light will last forever!"

"."

In a forest fifty kilometers southwest of the city of Desay, seven or eight soldiers wearing three-dimensional mobile gear were resting.

The Wings of Liberty pattern is embroidered on these soldiers' clothes. They are soldiers from the Survey Corps who are here to explore outside the wall.

"Captain Evans! Did you hear anything?"

Irsay, who was constantly recording something in his notebook, suddenly stopped what he was doing, listened carefully for a while, and then asked Evans.

"Sound?" Evans held his breath and carefully sensed for a while, but heard nothing: "No! Ilse, are you under too much pressure and have auditory hallucinations?"

“No?” Ilse scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: “Maybe I’m too nervous! Sorry to trouble you, Squad Leader Evans.”

"Hahaha, don't be embarrassed, Ilse." Squad Leader Evans rubbed Ilse's head:

"I was no better than you when I first went outside the wall to investigate! And Howell, he peed his pants the first time he saw a giant!"

"Hahahaha," the other soldiers burst into laughter.

Howell's face turned red instantly, and he muttered something like that was sweat, not urine, and that he drank too much water before setting off, so he would sweat more.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became lively.

After a while, Squad Leader Evans finally spoke up to stop everyone.

"Take the time to rest. We are starting from the Karanis area this time. We have to pass through the Giant Forest and then enter the wall from the Trost area. We can't do without rest."

Half an hour later, the rested Survey Corps soldiers mounted their horses and began their exploration mission again.

Everyone was lucky, as they didn't encounter the first giant until they were almost at the Giant Tree Forest.

"We're almost at the Giant Tree Forest. Let's lure it inside and then deal with it!" Evans made the decision instantly.

Compared to open plains, forests are more suitable for the use of three-dimensional mobile devices.

Even with just one giant, Evans prefers a more conservative approach.

"Understood!" everyone responded immediately and changed their route.

"Ilse, how is it? Did you wet your pants like Howell?" a soldier teased Ilse.

"I-I won't! I'm a human wing who is not afraid of death, and a member of the Survey Corps!" Ilse shouted with all her might.

"Hahaha"

"Not bad, Ilse, much better than Howell, hahaha."

"Hey! Stop mentioning my name!" Howell said angrily.

"Be careful! We're about to bypass the giant!"

Following Squad Leader Evans' reminder, everyone stopped joking and paid close attention to the giant's every move.

In Mu Sheng's eyes, each innocent giant was a danger that could not be taken lightly by these well-trained soldiers.

As the giant got closer, Ilse's heart beat faster and faster. A large amount of blood gathered in her brain, making her feel that time was slowing down.

The clatter of galloping horses, the thump of giants moving, and the thump of violently beating hearts all echoed in Ilse's mind.

"Will they collide with each other?"

"Gudong!" Ilse couldn't help swallowing.

Fortunately, her worries did not come true. The members of the Survey Corps successfully bypassed the Pure Titan and left it behind.

Soon, Ilse and others successfully rushed into the giant tree forest.

"Let's get rid of this giant right here!" Evans shouted, and the hook on his waist instantly shot out, driving his body to fly up the tree. Puff! Puff! Puff!
The rest of the Survey Corps members followed Evans to the surrounding trees, forming a pocket formation and waiting for the Titan to arrive.

Bang!Bang!
Soon a giant with a silly expression on his face walked into the trap set by everyone.

"Do it!"

As the attack signal sounded, members of Evans' class rushed towards the giant from all directions.

Swish!Swish!
Two soldiers passed by the giant's ankles and cut off the tendons in the giant's legs. The others cut off the giant's arms and then chopped off the back of the giant's neck with a knife.

"Hahaha, I have added another victory to my collection!" Howell smiled proudly as he stood beside the giant's corpse.

"What's the point? You're the only one who's pissed his pants in the Survey Corps over the years."

"I told you that's not urine, it's sweat!"

"Your pants are wet anyway."

"."

After joking with Howell for a few words, everyone got back on their horses and prepared to move on.

"Everyone, be careful. The previous operation to retake Wall Maria attracted a large number of Titans to the southern area."

Evans said seriously:

"Thanks to this, our Survey Corps has been able to collect supplies in the northern region relatively smoothly over the past six months."

"But this is not a good thing for our next move. It means that the probability of us encountering giants will be higher!"

"Everyone needs to cheer up, understand?"

"Understood!" the soldiers answered in unison, and even the most jumpy Howell became serious.

Then everyone continued to move forward, intending to cross the giant tree forest.

"Captain Evans, look over there!" When crossing the center of the forest, Ilse discovered something.

"what?"

"These are signs that a large number of people have lived here. It looks like it has been here for at least half a year."

Evans said as he looked at the large areas of similar traces around him.

"More than half a year and a large number of people? Are they the people who fought in the previous recapture operation?" Ilse guessed.

"This place is at least a hundred kilometers away from the Trost District. How did they manage to run so far while being chased by the giants?"

"Besides, what's the point of running here?"

"I don't know!" Evans shook his head: "Write it down and give it to Captain Alvin and the others to analyze!"

"Come on, let's keep moving forward!"

After leaving the Giant Forest, the frequency with which Evans class encountered giants increased significantly.

Moreover, each time there were more giants, not just one or two. This time, Evans class was not favored by good luck.

The six pure giants discovered several people at the same time and surrounded them with silly smiles.

"Two giants spotted on the left!"

"Two giants appeared on the right too!"

"There are giants ahead too. Damn it, we are surrounded by giants." Howell couldn't help but curse.

In the crisis, Evans made a quick decision and sent four people to restrain the giants on both sides, while the remaining four accelerated towards the giant in front.

As long as they can quickly deal with the giant in front of them and then support their partners on both sides, they can overcome this crisis.

"Damn giant, your uncle Howell is here!"

"The wings of freedom that are not afraid of death!"

"Tata open!"

Towards evening, the members of Evans' class arrived at a small forest about ten kilometers away from the Trost District.

At this time, there were only four members left in Evans' class. They walked through the woods with lonely expressions and no longer had the mood to play.

"Ilse, cry if you want to. There is no shame in shedding tears for your companions!" Evans looked at the
"Why?" Ilse's tears could not stop flowing down her eyes. "Why do giants exist? Have we committed a crime?"

"Why would God create something that would exterminate humanity?"

Evans looked into Ilse's eyes and said, "I once had this question, but I never found the answer."

"Perhaps this is the purpose of the Survey Corps' existence! To explore the world outside the wall and find the secret of the appearance of the Titans."

"Ilse, don't be afraid, don't be sad, Howell, and all the dead companions, keep flying with their expectations!"

Evans hit his heart hard and shouted, "Give your heart to humanity!!!"

"Give your heart to humanity!", Ilse cried with tears in her eyes.

The roars of the two alarmed a certain existence in the forest.

"Roar!"

Jingle bells!

A slight roar of a giant and the sound of metal colliding reached the ears of several people.

"There's a giant!"

The four of them instantly became alert, not caring about feeling sad, and looked cautiously in the direction where the sound came from.

However, no giant was seen. The forest was not tall and should not be able to hide the figure of the giant.

"No? You clearly heard the sound?"

"Go and have a look, be careful!"

Several people walked towards the direction where the sound came from carefully and vigilantly. After a while, a figure hanging on a tree with an iron chain appeared in their eyes.

"It's a human! How could someone be hung here?"

"No, look at his body proportions. His limbs are short, but his head and body are huge. The more I look at him, the more he looks like me."

"Giant!" Several people said the same word at the same time.

"How can there be such a small giant?" Ilse looked at the little thing in front of her in surprise. It was the first time she saw a giant almost the same size as a human.

"No, we should ask who hung this giant here!" Evans said solemnly.

Only the Survey Corps would go outside the wall to investigate, and if they encountered this giant during the investigation, they would definitely bring it back into the wall instead of hanging it here.

Evans suddenly had a premonition that they seemed to be approaching the secret of the appearance of the giant.

"Look! There is a line of words here!" a soldier suddenly shouted, pointing somewhere on the tree trunk.

Upon hearing this, the others hurried forward to check.

I saw that a piece of bark had been peeled off the trunk where the dwarf giant was hanging, and on the exposed trunk, there were several deep large characters carved.

"Private pets, if kidnapped, will be prosecuted!"

Looking at the words on the tree trunk, Ilse and his companions were stunned for a moment.
