Chapter 861: For What Reason Do We Keep Moving Forward?
The situation was somewhat unexpected.
According to Pixis's estimation, based on the growth rate of the demon giants, the most violent general attack will be launched in the autumn of next year, but now it has just passed late winter...
Taking into account the ability users' powerful learning ability and their own combat experience, the time left for the training soldiers to grow has been reduced to a minimum of two months.
But the devil's attack was more violent than imagined. In this upcoming spring season, a powerful offensive had been launched.
Therefore, the Survey Corps that probes into the Demon Realm outside the wall will experience many dangers every time.
Needless to say, the reduction of personnel has led to a more serious problem.
Erwin's expression became extremely serious and he spoke in a low voice.
"Just half a month ago, the garrison corps in Shiganshina District, Ong City, located at Wall Maria, sent out a request for help, saying that demon giants were detected outside the wall, and the number was increasing rapidly. Currently, the Survey Corps We have rushed there, but the situation is critical and more people are needed there."
The eyes of some people in the crowd changed slightly. The current situation was beyond their expectations, because from the beginning, the situation here at the Three High Walls had never been announced. Many people came here and learned that their abilities could not be Use.
This alone makes many people feel uneasy, lose their biggest support, and shake their confidence.
And the current Survey Corps has a very high casualty rate, which makes them have to hesitate.
As if Erwin didn't notice everyone's expressions, he still spoke calmly.
"Frankly speaking, my purpose this time is to persuade you to join us, but here I still want to tell you the terror of the Demon Giant."
"If I don't tell you the true cruelty, then the situation will definitely not be what you want to see."
Erwin paused for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice: "The Survey Corps has been established for a long time. It has been conducting missions outside the wall for many years and exploring dangerous areas. Because of this, the sacrifice rate of soldiers is as high as 60%. And because of the Titan Rebellion , this casualty rate will increase.”
"If you join the Survey Corps this time, you will also participate in the defense operation of Shiganshina District. The probability of your sacrifice is about 30%. And during the period between the giant's launch of the general attack, those who can survive will definitely Not a lot."
behind,
The members of the Survey Corps who were in the same queue all looked slightly changed and whispered: "Captain..."
If you scare these newcomers like this, not many will be willing to join.
"However, those who can grow up through all this will also become the elite among the elite. After understanding this reality that makes people unable to calm down, and still planning to risk their lives to fight with me, stay here. Ask Ask yourself in your heart whether you have the consciousness to dedicate your heart to mankind!"
Erwin asked with a high voice, and then lowered his voice: "I've said all I have to say. Those who volunteer to join other corps should be disbanded."
People couldn't help but look at each other with serious expressions and saw the hesitation in each other's eyes.
They had long heard about the sacrifice rate of the Survey Corps. There were many people who had joined them before, but as Erwin said, not many could survive.
It is undeniable that there are many people who respond to the princess's call to join the army with the purpose of earning merit, and those with firm determination do not constitute the majority after all.
If you want to achieve meritorious service, you can still have the opportunity even if you join the garrison corps.
Finally, someone sighed softly, turned around and left silently.
As if taking the lead, many people turned around silently, as if they did not dare to stay here any longer.
Anzhe lowered his head silently. He made no movement and stared straight ahead.
Even without looking back, he could still hear footsteps behind him.
There will be many people leaving.
Beside Anzhe, Dalev clenched his fists tightly. The naive look on his face was gone, replaced by a look of madness that was so strong that it was shocking, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
It wasn't until the footsteps gradually stopped that Anzhe slowly raised his head and turned to look around.
There are probably about three hundred people left...
Much better than expected.
An Zhe's eyes moved slightly. He saw pain, hatred, a hint of madness, and a strong determination on the faces of these people.
What...have they lost?
What do you want to defend...
Seeing these people standing there, Anzhe silently withdrew his gaze and looked up at Erwin with a calm expression.
The leader stood on the podium in front of the playground and looked at the more than 300 people with cold eyes.
"Thank you for overcoming this fear. Very good."
As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at An Zhe.
After looking at each other for two seconds, he suddenly stepped forward, walked off the stage and came to An Zhe.
"May I have your name."
Anzhe's eyes fluctuated for a moment, then he met Erwin's gaze and said his name.
"The 167th training corps belongs to: An Zhe."
"Well, Anzhe... I don't like your expression. It's too calm, showing a kind of arrogance, and a strong sense of self."
Erwin said calmly.
An Zhe was silent for two seconds before calmly speaking: "No. Captain, I am also scared. But I have never doubted my heart, and I also have awareness."
Erwin's eyes narrowed slightly: "Really? If someone tells you to die, will you die too?"
As he said this, his eyes glanced at everyone present. He was also asking this question to everyone.
Anzhe clenched his fists slightly, he didn't want to answer this question at all.
Because he has made that choice twice, and each time the choice is the same...
"No! I don't want to die!" Anzhe suddenly raised his head and stared hard into Erwin's eyes: "So, I want to win!!"
I have never thought about fighting for someone who has nothing to do with me. Everything I have done so far has just been done casually! I don’t need other people’s thanks, and I don’t want to pay attention to other people’s hateful looks.
I just want to see what I want to see... For this reason, I will crush everything that stands in my way.
I don’t have any righteousness or feelings!
The only thing he has is to keep moving forward for his ideal life...
Erwin paused slightly and stared at Anzhe for three seconds before looking away.
"I see..." He murmured softly, then looked at the people around him: "Very good! You all look good! So from now on..."
"Officially welcome you to join the Survey Corps! This is a true salute, give your heart!!"
He stood up and put his fist on his heart, making a loud sound.
Everyone saluted in unison and responded loudly.
"yes!!!"

(So, it’s not without reason that the protagonist I wrote is always scolded... He’s seeking death. Show your hands)
