In the middle of the night, no one in the entire survey corps could sleep well.All nervous about Alan's disappearance, looking back and forth.
The headquarters of the Survey Corps has been searched, but there is nothing.That can only be outside. In fact, some investigators who were in the Forest of Giant Trees during the day vaguely guessed in their hearts what Alan might do.
To be honest, most of them were touched by Jake's words.
To talk about the reason, one cannot ignore the positioning of the Survey Corps.The Survey Corps itself is a force set up to investigate giants.Over the course of so many years, this army has fought against giants countless times, killed an unknown number of giants, but also died an unknown number of comrades in the same robe.
This spirit of sacrifice is undoubtedly tragic, and it is also a driving force to support progress.But after learning the truth and knowing that these giants are actually compatriots of the same race, many investigators directly felt disillusioned.
Because it symbolizes that all their sacrifices are meaningless, and killing giants is no longer a symbol of glory.On the contrary, whoever kills more giants suffers more.
This huge gap is a very negative emotion. If you don't get rid of it, you will hurt yourself, lead to depression, and even leave the army directly.And to get out, you have to find an exit—many scouts use Marley as this exit.
Hatred is an excellent weapon to divert emotions, and many scouts hate Marley very much in their hearts.And brewing revenge.It can be said that without Erwin, the highly respected head of the regiment, the current survey corps would have inevitably turned to the radicals.
The words of Han Ji and Levi alone still cannot completely overwhelm the entire survey corps.The former is obsessed with technology, while the latter looks like "no strangers should enter" all day long.Only Erwin is an amiable leader who can blend in with all scouts regardless of military rank.
Erwin himself undoubtedly knew this well, so after he learned that Allen was missing, he didn't panic because the Gendarmerie came to the door.
"Captain Erwin." It was Xiqi, the current captain of the Gendarmerie, who used to be Ani's roommate, and was speaking with a smile at the moment. "Our leader asked me to tell you, don't worry about Alan, he will protect you."
"What?" Han Ji on the side asked in surprise, "Did Li Lin arrest Alan?"
"Why did our leader do that?" Xiqi smiled and shook her head, but didn't explain too much.It wasn't that she didn't want to, it was Li Lin who told her this sentence, and she didn't know too much.
"Okay, I see." Erwin wasn't as anxious as Han Ji, instead, he felt relieved after accepting Xiqi's words, "Thank you for running here."
"No, no." Xiqi said, turned and left, and when she walked to the door, she glanced at Levi who was leaning against the door, and did not forget to tease: "Captain Levi, you are so handsome~ yes Sora, go to our military police regiment and sit down."
Levi: "..."
Watching Xiqi leave speechlessly, he turned to look at Erwin: "What is Li Lin going to do?"
Thinking of the previous meeting in the cemetery, Erwin said slowly: "Our original plan of importing weapons from the Kingdom of Shizel may no longer be of any use."
After finishing speaking, Erwin raised his head and said to the two of them: "Let everyone who searched come back, Alan will be fine. However, after Li Lin leaves now, he will negotiate with the special envoy of the Kingdom of Xizr tomorrow morning." , I have to come forward. Now I have to do some preparations."
"...Then go ahead, Erwin." Hanji and Levi exited the room and looked at each other with a sense of helplessness.
Even Erwin has no way to interfere with Li Lin's "doing whatever he wants", let alone them.Even the "strongest human" Levi knows that he is still human, but Li Lin is no longer human, so his strongest is useless.
"Let's go, Levi." Han Ji patted his arm, "Let's just wait for the good news as the leader said."
……
On the coast, the moonlight shines on the layers of waves, which are extraordinarily sparkling.
The soldiers on Jike's side were a little nervous, including Jike himself, who also frowned.He expected that Alan would come with a high probability, but he didn't expect that Li Lin would follow him.
"What? Buy one get one free, aren't you happy?" Li Lin said.
"You are Li Lin." Jike didn't speak first, but Irina who was next to him took the initiative to stand up, walked up to Li Lin, and stretched out her hand generously, "I've heard about your glorious deeds, On the ship that was sent to this island five or six years ago, you successfully killed Marley's naval soldiers. And passed through the plain full of giants, and successfully reached the wall. Really powerful."
Li Lin shook hands with her. "You are?"
"Elena," she said with a smile. "Me, oh, and these people behind me. We're the Marais Zouaves."
"Malai Volunteer Army?" Alan asked on the side, "What is that?"
He knew the words 'warrior' and 'honorary Marais'.But the Marais Volunteer Army has never heard of it.
Elena looked over, and when her eyes fell on Allen, she had a unique feeling, bred with unknown fanaticism, "It's an army formed by subjugated slaves."
Allen: "..."
Ji Ke said: "Over the years, Marley has used the power of giants to conquer many small countries. Irina and the others are from those small countries."
Allen couldn't help but look at her sympathetically after hearing this.There is quite a sense of sympathy for each other.
Now the Aldian nation is also on the edge of the cliff in this situation. If Paradis Island is captured, the remaining Eldians will also become "exiled nationals" like Irina.
Li Lin thought to himself: No wonder Jike can trust them.
These people undoubtedly hated Marley, even more than the Eldians.Because some of the latter still hold the idea of "redemption".As for the former, a good country was suddenly occupied by Marais, and it was impossible not to hate it.
"Li Lin, are you coming here now, do you want to go to Marais?"
Jike got to the point, he didn't think Li Lin was here to catch them.Otherwise, there is no need to come alone.
"Yes. I happen to be going to Marais on something, and you happen to have a boat. Wouldn't it be nice to give me a ride?"
"..."
Ji Ke's face was not very good-looking. He knew too little about Li Lin, but he knew that this guy could defeat the wisdom giant with a human body.That was two years ago, has he become stronger now?For example, in the conference room, the young officer committed suicide by drawing a gun...
If he could, he would never keep such an unstable factor as Li Lin by his side.But now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and it may be even more dangerous to refuse Li Lin.
"Okay, let's go together." Jike agreed, "But Li Lin, I advise you not to act rashly when you arrive in Marais. Even your body... You must know that Marais now has many powerful weapons."
Li Lindao: "I don't need to worry about that."
The boat sailed to the nearest military port city in Malai.
Yi Lianna, the leader of the volunteers, showed great curiosity towards Li Lin.But after striking up a few conversations and discovering the latter's impeccable words, he stopped asking for trouble.
Instead, she focused on Allen.For Jike, he didn't talk to Allen very much. He seemed to be afraid of Li Lin, and stayed in the room with him and stared at him.
In the early morning of the next day, at the Gendarmerie headquarters, the female special envoy and assistants from the Kingdom of Shizel arrived on time.
