In short, blocking Wall Maria means cutting off the growth of the number of giants within the wall. One less giant will die, and humans must enter anti-hunting mode.
Everyone has a glorious image with rich colors, and the victims are called great heroes.
People are not afraid of sacrifice, they are afraid of meaningless sacrifice.
At Noah's suggestion, the three legion commanders prepared to hold a grand commendation ceremony after consulting the royal government to completely resolve the panic among the people after the invasion of the giants.
Before the commendation meeting, Noah and Levi received a special reception. After all, the Central Military Police Corps still reported the two's inhuman combat power.
The top leaders are also somewhat wary of these particularly outstanding and reckless men.
All I can say is that they are right to be afraid, especially when the reckless men are also terrifyingly smart.
"Don't worry, sir. We will not only give our hearts to the people, but also to the royal government!"
Ok?
"Oh, to give my heart to the royal government."
Noah used the most moving language to fight for the interests of himself and the legion.
He jumped three levels in military rank and also mastered the lightning gun technology that Captain Dirk had not mastered before.
Of course, the price to pay was the promise to clear out the giants inside Wall Maria as soon as possible and migrate the population inside Wall Rose back.
This kind of thing is really too much of a headache for the top leaders. Without expeditions to consume the population, so many dangerous factors gathered together would somewhat hinder their rule.
It sounds like getting something for nothing, and it is actually true.
This also involves checks and balances, as well as various conspiracies such as splitting the legion.
It's just that the method is a bit simple, and it's really boring for someone.
After leaving Wall Hina, Levi looked at Noah with strange eyes, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
His sharp tongue has always been at a disadvantage to Noah, or he simply doesn't dare to argue with him.
"what happened?"
"Captain Erwin said you are a devil."
“…I don’t deny it.”
Levi's dead fish eyes could hardly hold back after hearing this, and he didn't care about the reward he got. He immediately led his men back to Wall Maria to guard it.
The world inside the wall is somewhat dangerous.
Three days later.
In the largest square inside the Rose Wall, the legion commanders received the honor and material rewards from the royal government.
As for the rewards for the soldiers, this time they are also very generous, including money, honors, guarantees, and everything else.
This time, everyone cheered.
Something in everyone's heart was completely ignited.
After turning from defense to offense, it is the time to make achievements. Even if you die in battle, you will receive a large reward to allow your family to live a good life.
If I don't join the army now, when will I wait?
The training corps once again received a large number of applications, with countless people eager to gain something from the counterattack.
Shakis was surrounded by happy troubles. Unlike the 99th term, the number and quality of soldiers in the training corps increased sharply starting from the 100th term.
By selecting the best from the best, the strength of the three major corps will increase dramatically in the future, but the training work will be very tiring.
But so what? He had always been worried about the future of mankind.
Now it’s not necessary. Those little brats are trying their best to participate in the selection. A new era is coming.
Noah stood on the Rose Wall and looked at the completely different world inside the wall and laughed.
Erwin asked what he was laughing at.
"After clearing Wall Maria... is the royal government useless?"
...really talkative.
Chapter 89: Expected Assassination
At the end of 846, the atmosphere inside Wall Rose became increasingly relaxed.
No one is desperate about the future anymore.
The three legion commanders stated publicly that they would carry out a major purge within Wall Maria, and all Titans would not be able to escape the fate of being hunted.
Noah even started a tireless speaking tour during the break period.
Call on more young people to join the three major corps to speed up the pace of retaking the occupied areas.
This grand event of shared celebration has sparked public opinion within the Great Firewall.
The number of members of the Survey Corps, the frontline combat force, began to increase dramatically.
From the original 1000 people, it increased to... 1200 people.
There is no way. After all, they are the main force hunting giants outside Wall Rose. It is impossible to say that there is no danger.
Besides, the most dangerous places require the most elite forces, and adding two hundred people by selecting the best of the best is already a great reinforcement.
Even the Military Police were a little jealous. After all, 8 of the top ten in this issue chose the Survey Corps, which was simply outrageous.
Don’t you all want to be a superior person, or to sacrifice your heart for the king’s government?
Erwin also roughly knew where Noah's eyes were looking, and he also knew that the Survey Corps would assume more responsibilities in the future.
But this was exactly what he wanted, so he actively cooperated with the other party's work.
There was a Survey Corps fever within the wall.
By 847, the number of giants within Wall Maria had been reduced to a very considerable number.
Even the garrison troops began to participate in the siege.
Moreover, due to the early release of the lightning gun technology, the threat posed by ordinary pure giants has been greatly reduced. Giants without intelligence are nothing more than larger targets.
Without the overwhelming numerical advantage, two teams can surround and kill one as long as they overcome their fear.
The new weapons are more targeted at the abnormal species.
The way those freaks move and the mental pollution are still disgusting.
Even with thunder guns it was difficult to avoid casualties, and the new weapons were under the control of the Central Gendarmerie.
Even so, the Corps' cleanup operation went much more smoothly and casualties were greatly reduced.
Starting from the first area, as more and more areas were cleared, Noah and others' counterattack became more and more fierce.
In the later period, he and Levi began to look for strange species inside the wall to kill them, leaving the ordinary Titans to others.
By the end of 847 they had cleared nearly half of the area of giants, a very rapid pace.
The fewer giants there are, the less of a threat they pose.
Even the 102nd batch of graduates were taken outside for graduation assessment.
Some people from the Military Police also planned to come out to gain some merit, and hunting giants seemed to have become a fashion.
Then these young masters were beaten to a pulp. After all, they were the most corrupted legion and there was no need to save them.
Noah also began to transition from a pioneer to a commander.
The next step of preparation and packaging was also carried out within the Wall of Rose, and he would be present in every victory.
then……
In a certain town.
Noah was moving around with a three-dimensional mobile device, looking for the strange species hiding among them.
Ok?
boom!
A cold gunshot was calmly dodged.
The war hero landed on the roof and was surrounded.
Looking at the familiar shield and unicorn was not surprising at all. The royal government was not stupid and it finally came to its senses.
The epic war created countless war heroes, especially the light of this beacon was so dazzling that it had seriously threatened some people.
Noah somewhat understood this action, but the people inside Wall Xena were somewhat worried.
If the royal government was just an ordinary ruler, it would naturally not snipe the war hero when it was about to recapture the fallen areas of Maria.
But the one who took action this time was a real royal family, and Rod Reis might have wanted to kill him for a long time.
More than a hundred years ago, in order to prevent the Eldians inside the wall from walking out of the city wall, the 145th King Fritz used the power of the Founding Titan to erase all the memories of the Eldians who came with him at that time before they came to Paradis Island, making the Eldians on Paradis Island believe that all humans outside the wall had become extinct and they were the only humans left in the world.
Adhering to this ideology and the agreement not to fight, the Reis family has been living in seclusion within the wall.
They did what they promised, but at the cost of the freedom and future of the Eldians.
The appearance of Noah broke the giants' fear and triggered a wave of counterattack.
This made the Reis family extremely uneasy, as if they were worried that the original Eldians would reappear.
Therefore, killing Noah, who represents hope, becomes the best solution.
This behavior... is sick.
From a madman who started a war to a sinner who isolated himself and destroyed himself.
The 145th Fritz King Chunchun has a serious illness, and it is outrageous that the diode has reached such a level.
It is insane that they even used the power of the ancestor to reinforce this factory setting that would not change for 100 years.
Your royal family shared Ymir and gained the power of the giants, your royal family led the Eldians to invade the world, and your royal family destroyed Marley and many countries.
Then a certain king realized that he had committed a grave sin and was unwilling to fight anymore, so he returned to Patila Island to be the boss, or the hidden boss who did not have to bear any management responsibilities.
As for ordinary people, they were all brainwashed and lost their past memories.
Those in the outside world became the descendants of demons who were hated by everyone and were treated as consumables and weapons of war by the giants.
The indigenous people on the island became the prison and multiplied, living in fear of being surrounded by giants.
Ordinary people are really unlucky.
Noah strongly disapproves of this method of asking others to atone for one's sins.
Especially when he backstabs himself.
Looking around, there were dozens of people gathered around. They didn't look like ordinary soldiers in the gendarmerie, but elite killers.
Noah still pays attention to procedure and gives some advice first, just in case someone wants to turn back from his wrong path.
"Hey, hey, hey, haven't you seen me killing giants?"
"How dare such a small number of people do this?"
"Hey there, don't forget that I saved your life."
No one responded. These were the people who were truly willing to donate their hearts.
The captain in the lead had an extremely serious expression on his face. With his authority, he had of course read all the battle reports.
Both the legion commander and the spies planted in the legion had a very high opinion of the man who was surrounded.
So he waved his hand, and ten more people appeared behind him, each holding a thunder gun.
Noah wanted to curse after seeing this.
In order to apply for two more sets of equipment, the Survey Corps had to write all kinds of reports and sell favors, but ended up paying a lot of money to their own people.
To be honest, this configuration is completely sufficient to fight against intelligent giants, and it is quite reliable to target war heroes.
After all, the lightning gun is an explosive attack, and no matter how superb your swordsmanship is, there is a limit.
