Chapter 14 The first confrontation
Chapter 14 The first confrontation
"Captain Levi! There seems to be a giant in front of you?"
"..." The man with a cold face narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he couldn't clearly see the situation in the distance because of the distance, judging from the other party's unbelievable figure...
"It's a lie..." Erudo was surprised, "Why can they still move at night?"
"And that guy looks weird..." Allen couldn't help but speak.
"It's a strange species, but... it's the first time I've seen a giant with animal hair."
"Hey, Petra!" Oluou frowned slightly, "Don't get too used to this kid."
"Ugh?"
"What the hell did this kid do? Isn't he just making noises there!" He glanced at Alan with disgust, "It's strange that the giant doesn't look strange. ...Or, are you scared? ?”
"I……"
"Well, it's normal to be afraid, as long as you don't pee your pants in fear."
"Who, who would be scared like that!"
……
Ahh, it started again.
Armin raised his forehead, if there is any particularly beautiful scenery on the way of this trip, it must be Alan and Oluou seniors.
They can keep fighting when the situation is so tense and urgent, and it's full of dumb, trivial things!
People who didn't know thought that the two people were so wrong.
But in fact, the relationship between Allen and Oluou is not only not bad, but also very good.As for being in a good relationship and still being so noisy...
Armin came to a conclusion——
The way you get along is so special!
"Speaking of being afraid...Senior Erudo also said that you seemed to be crying and frightened when you first set off..."
"Wow, shut up, shut up!"
"……hey-hey."
He didn't intend to take advantage of the victory to pursue it. Allen bent his lips, and couldn't hide the smile on the corners of his eyes and brows. Obviously, he felt extremely proud of letting Oluou suffer.
Oludo's face turned blue and white, and the artillery fire completely shifted, "Bastard Erudo, how dare you spread this kind of thing everywhere!"
"That's the truth." Ai Ludo laughed, and taught Alan with real examples by the way, "Look, he is more mature than he was then?"
Allen nodded heavily.
The tacit singing and harmony drove Oluou completely crazy, "My actual number of crusades is more than yours!"
"The quality of soldiers cannot be judged by the number of crusades alone."
"I'm sick of you idiot!"
Compared to Erudo's composure, Oluou was about to go berserk, and the verbal battle became more and more intense. Tagen, who had been silent all the time, finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Give me enough!"
There was a sudden pause in the conversation, and the two looked at him involuntarily.
Genta's face was full of anger, and the smooth forehead even had blue veins popping out, "It's outside the wall now, and there are enemies in front of it. Do you think they are here for a picnic?"
"..." Levi straightened up slowly, his dark green cloak was blown by the strong wind, his soft black hair brushed his eyebrows in a mess, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, and he squinted over.
Bystanders such as Armin straightened their backs unconsciously, not to mention Erudo and Oluou who were in the center of sight.
The two remained silent, sweating profusely.
"Avoid unnecessary battles, go around." Levi said this in a light tone, reining in the horse's reins, and took the lead in changing the direction of the move.
"Yes!"
The combat-capable squad began to deviate from the original route, and all of them moved to the southwest with Levi as the main force, and the distance from the weird giant was lengthened in a short while.
Armin turned his head, and after riding for half a day, the weird giant had been left far behind, but the doubts and surprises in his heart were not so easy to dissipate.
That giant... is about 17 meters tall.
It's even taller than the 15-meter-level giant Allen incarnated...
Coupled with the thick hair all over the body and the long arms that almost drag the floor, it looks like...
Like apes!
it's wired.
too weird.
Will giants like this still exist?
His thoughts were chaotic, but at this moment, the weird giant suddenly turned his head and looked this way as if he sensed that someone was looking at him.
——was, discovered? !
Armin's heart trembled, and he quickly looked back.
So it was naturally missed, and those dull dark pupils shrank instantly when they saw him.
The wind was whistling, and the shaved face was painful. Levi, who was riding the horse in the front position, keenly caught the strangeness in the air, and his eyes began to condense slowly.
"Pull out[/] the knife."
His voice was cold, without a trace of emotion. Although everyone was puzzled, they still obeyed.
"All the staff keep moving forward at the fastest speed and escort Allen to join the reconnaissance team of the Garrison Corps."
what? !
When everyone was still a little confused about the situation, Almin's first reaction was that the giant ape-like figure was chasing him, but before he could confirm whether his idea was true, a black shadow covered his head.
The black shadow was extremely huge, and when it covered the sky, it seemed to have no borders, and it was as terrifying as covering the sky and the moon. Everyone was stunned by this sudden change.
"This is……"
"Giant, are you chasing, catching up?"
"why?!!!"
"Calm down." Levi slanted his knife horizontally, and the speed of the galloping horse under his crotch[/] had begun to slow down, "I'll stay, and the command will be handed over to Erudo."
The long steel cable shot out from the mid-air, and the hook at the front end ruthlessly grabbed into the only face of the strange giant that was not covered by hair.Levi flew straight up, his body rotated in an incredible arc, and circled around the head of the giant ape like a whirlwind.
"Soldier—"
Petra exclaimed in worry, but Erudo gritted his teeth and ordered, "Everyone—"
"Full speed ahead!!!"
……
Relying on the bright moonlight, the team began to speed up, and soon left the ape giant and Levi behind.
Another all-out attack shatters the blade, and Levi snorts prickly, inserting the hilt into the spare knife case at his waist.
This disgusting hair is really not just decoration.
It covers the body like a hard armor, no matter where it is cut, it is useless.
It landed on the top of the ape giant's head without a sound, with thick and rough hair under his feet. Levi pulled out the new blade that had been re-equipped, and his sharp and indifferent eyebrows were wrinkled in displeasure.
It seems that there is no way to kill it on the spot.
I have bought a lot of time, and the words of those guys should go a long way.
So now, it's time to find a way to retreat.
Tch, can I only attack that funny face?
He adjusted his posture, but a rough voice came from under him, "Hey, what's the name of that weapon?"
"……"This guy.
Can talk?
After a brief surprise, his face darkened.
──Are you with the giantess, the colossal giant, and the armored giant?
"It's the one that is tied around your waist and flies around. What's it called?"
"..." Levi slowly adjusted his posture, the blade he held backwards brushed against the cloak, and the wind howled.
——Then, the destroyed wall is indeed nearby.
--whispering sound.
——It’s really disgusting one by one.
……
That guy... chased after him because he noticed him.
Armin's mind was muddled, his hands holding the horse's rein were trembling uncontrollably, and his heart was filled with regret.
If... If he hadn't been looking at that guy, the plan of dodging in advance would never fail.
It was he who put everyone in danger and completely dragged down the team...
"Hello! Arnold—" A familiar male voice with rapid breathing rang out suddenly, he came back to his senses in a daze, and saw Genta's eyes locked tightly, and severely reprimanded: "Why are you still in a daze at this time, hurry up ! You are already far behind everyone!"
"Ah, sorry."
"Don't lose your pace, keep the fastest speed."
"Yes."
"Report—" The soldier scouting the road reported loudly, "We found the ruins of the castle ahead!"
When everyone raised their heads, the first thing they saw was the tall and thin tower, and then the suffocating number of demons surrounding them.
"And... a large number of giants!"
"Are you kidding?!" Allen was the first to explode, because he wanted to ensure his safety first, so he was surrounded by everyone in Levi's class and Mikasa at the very center, "Why are there still so many people now? Giants? Aren't they immobile at night?"
"Who would know such a damn question!"
"...Maybe," Armin suppressed his panic and pondered, and gradually condensed a terrible guess out of all the confusion, "it has something to do with that weird giant like a monkey just now."
"what?"
"...It's like the giantess can summon other giants by calling, and the armored giant is invulnerable. That weird giant like ape...maybe can make other giants move at night."
"Hey, Almin..." Alan's forehead began to break out in cold sweat, and his resolute and delicate face was distorted because he wanted to laugh but couldn't. "Are you joking!"
Those guys...
Those guys are tough enough during the day, if they can move at night, if the darkness doesn't affect them...
——The breakthrough gap that humans finally found was completely shattered!
What are you kidding...
What are you kidding? !
"Hey, little devils!" Oluou gritted his teeth, "...why can giants move at night, what's going on with that weird ape giant...all these questions are thrown aside by me! Have you figured out the situation? , but now there is a problem that is a hundred times more serious than this!"
"Yeah." Petra also frowned, her tone extremely urgent. Obviously, the number of giants in a large area in front of her was really overwhelming, "What should I do, just rush over?"
"No!" Genta flatly refused, "That's too dangerous."
— but everyone knows.
—The dangers of remaining here are the same.
——Is it stagnant, or is it going to be broken?
The closer you are to the goal, the tighter everyone's hearts are.
"Erudo, what should we do now? ... Continue to detour?"
"..." No, no more detours.
In the case of unclear light, one deviation can still return to the original position, but if there are too many times, it will definitely leave the target place.
but……
Are you really going to have a head-on confrontation with those guys?
Although the dilapidated castle can make the three-dimensional mobile device work, the primary purpose now is to protect Allen from harm...
As long as there is a battle, unpredictable things will inevitably happen.
If Allen gets hurt because of this...
"Ah——" Just as Airudo was vacillating, there was an exclamation from beside him, "There are people on the tower!"
