I build nuclear bombs in the giant world

Chapter 55 Departure

April 3rd, sunny.

The first ray of sunshine in the morning cast a thin golden gauze over the royal capital. Ian held a supply list in his hand to count grain, grass and ammunition. In front of him were oxen and horse-drawn delivery trucks, a total of 80. Tling gun], tightly covered by cloth.

The vast team gathered in the middle of the road, everyone was in order, and the captains of their respective teams were responsible for order.

Ian opened the cover of his pocket watch and took a look. It was almost the scheduled departure time, and Hannes brought him a strong and docile thoroughbred horse.

The team was a hundred meters long in total, with the survey corps at the front, and the cattle and horses responsible for pulling goods were protected in the middle, followed by shooters, cooking squads, and construction teams.

Before leaving the Wall of Rose, you don’t have to worry about encountering giants. Only when you get there will you regroup your team and step into the land of Wall Maria.

"Let's go," Ian said.

Hannis nodded, took out the flare gun from his waist, and fired a green flare into the sky.

With a loud bang, everyone looked up to the sky. The Wings of Freedom flag was raised in front of the team. Everyone stepped forward and moved forward slowly.

The roadside was crowded with onlookers. Yesterday, leaflets and newspapers were rushed to be printed and distributed to the people in the royal capital.

As a shooter, Arutol saw familiar faces in the crowd. They were his family, his wife and children, squeezing their heads out and waving hard.

The wife picked up her little daughter Sasha, and Sasha shouted: "Dad, come on! Take back our land!"

Arutor smiled knowingly and waved from a distance in response.

The crowd cheered and cheered them on.

Historia stood on the balcony of a certain stone house, the ruby inlaid on the crown sparkling. She was wearing a white velvet shawl, her hair was neatly combed, and she looked luxurious. As a princess, she watched the warriors who were going to war.

Ian sat on the horse and looked at her. Sure enough, Buddha relies on gold, and people rely on clothes. She changed her clothes, and she really looked like a princess. She was the same as the one who grabbed her skirt last night and said coquettishly that she was learning to do it recently. Compared to the little girl who bakes, she is completely different.

Ian thought to himself, I hope the handmade cookies in a month's time won't taste too bad.

Pixis stood behind Historia, wearing a decent military uniform. He was not on the list of the expedition team. Someone needed to stay in the capital to take charge of the overall situation.

When the team approached here, Pixis raised his right hand, and the man crouching on the roof opened the birdcage, and hundreds of white doves fluttered their wings and flew out.

Erwin and Pixis looked at each other, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "The battle to retake Wall Maria! Begin now!"

The soldiers of the Survey Corps following him gave out inspiring shouts, as if a torch touched hot oil, everyone's emotions were ignited, and everyone raised their right arm and put it against their chest.

“Giving our hearts to humanity!!!”

In the golden morning light, the team drove straight down and left the royal capital.

Seven days later, they arrived at the Ermihat District, carried out the first wave of repairs and supplies, and entered the land of Rose Wall from the gate of the special district.

After another five days of marching, stopping and walking, taking the shortest straight line, we arrived at the Toros District.

Ahead is the land of Wall Maria.

The expedition team will take a rest in the Tauros area for a day to make final supplies and plan adjustments. On the morning of April 15th, they will pass through the special zone of Tauros and face the giant.

The giant was right in front of him. In the past, Levi would feel very irritated when he thought about this. He always had to drink some wine before setting off, but it was different tonight.

He sat in front of the fire, holding a wine bottle alone, staring at the dancing flames, and silently poured the wine in the bottle onto the ground.

Bones will eventually turn into dust.

The sacrifice rate for conducting extra-wall investigations is very high. Seventy percent of the recruits will die on the first mission, and very few of them can recover their bodies.

A soldier who is lucky can get back an arm or half a leg as a trace of his existence, but a soldier who is unlucky can only be left in a deserted wasteland.

They are swallowed by the giant and eventually spit out.

Creatures like giants do not have digestive organs or even reproductive organs. Giants never attack living creatures other than humans. Although they will eat living people, they will spit out the corpses after a while.

Turning into dust in a strange land, it may become fertilizer for trees and weeds, or it may be eaten by birds and beasts. That is the end of those who are eaten by giants.

So far, Levi has witnessed the death of more than a hundred people.

There are new people who have not spoken a few words, and there are also soldiers he has led before.

When a companion around him dies like this, Levi will drink two or three bottles of wine.

He has long been accustomed to the fact that the disappearance of those people is not fatal, unlike people who cannot live without bread.

However, I occasionally remembered that one night before departure, they sat around a table, and Levi, as the commander of the soldiers, taught his experience to the younger generations. He yelled loudly and told old stories about those dead idiots with a straight face. .

Some people left the team because of stupidity and recklessness, and some people's psychological quality was not up to standard and they were scared out of their wits in front of the giant.

The soldiers always listened with trepidation to the deeds of their predecessors. They were afraid of the things in the dark, so they put their arms around each other and established a friendship.

They drank wine to build up their courage, and when they were drunk, they laughed loudly, but gradually, Levi discovered that someone's laughter had disappeared forever. No one in this world can remember the dead, and Levi was one of the few. The one that doesn’t have much.

He was stronger than the others, and with that strength he abandoned the dead.

No, maybe the deceased abandoned him.

A choice without regrets?

He thought again of the two people who had been with him at the beginning.

Isabel, Fran.

He listened to the gurgling sound of wine and once again confirmed one thing:

——The current world is a piece of shit.

"Captain Levi, you are here!" Petra found him: "Captain Erwin called you over and said he wanted to hold a combat meeting."

"I see, where are they?" Levi stood up.

"I will take you to the garrison camp at the outer gate." Petra said softly.

Levi nodded and followed Petra to a tent.

"This is it, Captain, I'll leave first." Petra said.
