I build nuclear bombs in the giant world
Chapter 9 Preparing for Escape
"The Super Giant and the Armored Titan appear! Wall Maria has been breached!"
"The Super Giant and the Armored Titan appear! Wall Maria has been breached!"
The messenger flew through the streets on horseback, heading towards the lord's mansion, and everyone on the road heard the message.
Today is the day to purchase supplies. Ian stopped at the entrance of the market and listened to the shouts of the messenger.
Finally, the day came, the hole in the wall.
As a slave within the wall, Ian has no means to stop Reiner and Beckham from breaking through the wall. He doesn't even have the ability to protect himself.
According to the schedule, when the hole in the wall was broken, Allen's father came to the Reis territory, went to the underground cave of the church, transformed into an Attack on Titan, killed the Reis family, and took away the power of the ancestor, and then became the owner of the farm. On the night of the massacre, the military police group headed by Kenny would come to the Reis territory from the royal capital and kill most of the insiders in order to keep the secrets of the "royal family".
Eight months later, Ian was ready.
Three months ago, he bought horses from the black market and kept them in a cave in the suburbs. There he stored the materials needed for escape, as well as the salary he had saved in the past eight months and part of the money he had withheld from his position, which was about 60 gold coins.
He had already planned his escape route, starting from the Les Territory all the way to the outside of the wall, and then to the west. There was an inner gate between Wall Maria and Wall Rose. The refugees would go through that inner gate. When they swarm in, everything will become extremely chaotic. He will be able to take the opportunity to blend in among the refugees and have a new identity.
At that time, he was no longer Ian from Leith Farm, but Ian, an orphan from within Wall Maria.
Because of his status as a child, he will not be sent to the front line to fight by the government. All that is left is to seize the opportunity and find a way to use the little money and materials in his hands to make a career and contribute as much as possible to the Corps. High-rise mixed.
But the premise of all this is to escape smoothly.
Escape is the most important thing. If you can't leave Lacey Farm alive, everything is just talk.
"Let's go back and tell the housekeeper the news." Ian looked at the messenger going away, waved the horse's reins, and controlled the carriage to go to the farm.
They returned to the farm just before noon, and Ian went to the steward's room to make a report.
"Don't panic." The butler looked calm: "Go back to work, the giant is not a threat to us."
The butler looked confident. Ian thought that the butler must know the existence of the ancestors. He knew that as long as the people of the wall had the ancestors, the giants would never be able to threaten them. However, he must not have gotten the Leis family. There is news that Lord Leith is the only one left.
The news that Wall Maria was breached reached the Reis Territory, indicating that at least one or two days had passed. The ancestor was probably snatched away by Allen's father a day or two ago.
After Ian left the housekeeper's room, he quietly rode a horse to the town and went to the black market to inquire about any news about a fire nearby.
Sure enough, there was some gossip that a fire broke out in the small church in the south last night for unknown reasons, but for some reason the superiors paid special attention to this matter, and a large number of soldiers surrounded the place.
The incident still happened. As a member of the Reis family, the butler didn't even know about it. This can only mean one thing. The butler has been abandoned and he is also on the military police's obliteration list.
A dead person doesn't need to know secrets.
Ian's heart was beating loudly. It would take about a day to deliver the news from the Reis Territory to the Royal Capital, plus the traveling.
Tomorrow night, or the night after tomorrow, Kenny and his group should be here.
Ian knew it was time to call his stand-in.
He came to the slum and knocked on a dilapidated wooden door.
The boy who opened the door was about the same height as him. The boy was very haggard. When he saw him, he was stunned for a moment and lowered his head respectfully: "Sir Ian, is it time you need me?"
"Well, Cali, come away with me tonight."
"I understand." The boy smiled: "Please allow me to say goodbye to my brothers and sisters."
"Wait a minute." Ian took out a small purse from his arms: "There are ten gold coins in it. Let your brother go to the market tomorrow to find Uncle Pete who is moving the goods, and your sister will go to the tailor Tris in the old street. I have already arranged a good relationship in advance to let them work there, and let them leave the slum tomorrow."
"Thank you." The boy accepted the money and bowed: "I am really grateful to Mr. Ian for taking care of us. If it weren't for you, our family would have starved to death last winter."
"No need to thank me, you deserve this."
The boy suddenly coughed a few times uncontrollably and coughed up blood. He raised his head and smiled: "If I can make some contribution to you with my meager life, it will be considered a worthwhile trip."
"Cherish the time spent with your family. Go buy some delicious food tonight. I will pick you up at midnight." Ian hugged him, put on his cloak and left.
The boy looked at his leaving figure, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
The boy's name is Cali, a child Ian met last winter, and he is one year younger than Ian.
He contracted tuberculosis, an incurable disease in this day and age, and would die within a few years.
Therefore, Ian chose him to be his substitute, giving Cali two gold coins every month to support his two sisters and one brother. Using his relationship as a soldier, his younger brothers and sisters were not bullied and he did not need support. Working outside with a frail body.
That night, Cali took the money given by Ian and went to the market to buy vegetables and meat, including a turkey. His younger brothers and sisters gathered around him chirpingly.
"Brother! Why are you so rich today!"
"Brother! Brother! This chicken drumstick is so delicious!"
Kali touched the heads of his younger brothers and sisters and smiled softly: "Brother has found a good job. He will leave for the field tomorrow. Brother's boss has also found a job for you. You go to other people's stores. , you must be obedient, you know?”
He arranged the schedules of his younger siblings one by one, and divided the money he had saved over the years, plus the support fee given by Ian before, a total of fifteen gold coins, equally among his younger siblings.
Although the house is very shabby, he likes the smiles of his younger brothers and sisters.
Under the warm firelight, the children fell asleep around him.
He sat alone until late at night, until there was a knock on the door. He kissed the foreheads of his younger brothers and sisters one by one, extinguished the flames, and left wearing a hood, never looking back.
"Did you say goodbye to them?" Ian asked.
"They will grow up one day." Kali said: "You can't hide behind your brother all your life. Although I can't see that day, I believe they can all be happy."
"Really?" Ian was silent for a while and said, "It will definitely happen. They will definitely be happy."
