Chapter 2523 Old Friend

The three walls are all 50 meters high, and there are 10 meters underground. They are so solid that it is difficult for other giants to make decisive damage to the walls except for the super giants.

Once the walls are destroyed, it is difficult to repair them with human strength alone, so the problem of retaking Maria's wall is not only the threat of giants, but also the repair of the hole.

So Duran proposed the concept of mobile walls, but what materials are used to make mobile walls? Since it is to be moved, it cannot be too heavy, so it must not be too high or too thick. But as a wall to resist giants, it is contradictory that it cannot stop giants if it is not high or thick.

The height of giants generally ranges from two meters to sixty meters, and the most common is about ten meters, so the mobile wall must be at least ten meters high, so it will naturally not be too light, and if it is not light, it cannot be said to be mobile.

In short, the concept of mobile walls is quite unreasonable.

"Aren't there giant trees in this world? Those trees that are generally sixty, seventy or even nearly a hundred meters long." Duran said.

Mikasa nodded: "Do we have to cut down these trees to build city walls? They are too heavy and cannot be moved at all."

Duran smiled and said: "The trees themselves are very good city walls. As long as they move, can't they become city walls?"

"Move the trees?" Mikasa immediately thought that this was indeed a good idea: "If the trees become tree people, they can indeed become walking city walls." She knew that it would be easy for Duran to let the trees take a few steps by themselves. In this way, the moving city walls would be there, and there would be no need to develop any new materials. It would just make the existing forests gain wisdom, without adding any black technology.

"That's right. As long as the big trees move, they will become moving walls, which can resist the giants." "And the memories of the people in this country have been tampered with. The history only records the past 100 years. They were confined behind the walls. Little is known about what happened before the walls were erected. Only a few books record that there are seas, mountains, and deserts in the outside world. Since they have few memories, the tree people can also be set as forgotten existences."

Mikasa has no objection at all: "Then when they go on an expedition, use the tree people to protect them."

That's it.

Expeditions are inevitable. The top leaders have to let everyone see that they are already doing something, otherwise the dissatisfaction will continue to backfire on the top leaders. Although there is no security problem due to the high walls, it affects making money.

The composition of the top leaders of Eldia is relatively complex. In addition to the supreme commander, there is also a mysterious leader, the noble Reis. The nobles are iron-clad and the commanders are changing. The noble Reis is a ten-thousand-year line. It has never changed since the establishment of the empire. Even now, it is still a behind-the-scenes existence that affects the direction of the empire.

As for the commander-in-chief, the fake king, other radical and conservative political parties, or religious groups, they can all change at any time, but the Reis nobles will never change, because the Reis nobles rely on blood to survive.

Now these high-level officials want to stabilize the wall, so they can only divert conflicts and organize the people of Maria Wall to go out and die. This way, the population can be reduced at a low cost, and the remaining people can be satisfied.

The army was formed, but the equipment was ordinary, with very few muskets and cannons. Many people could only get a sword, and the history of these swords may be older than the soldiers, maybe fifty or sixty years.

Because the army was equipped with long swords fifty or sixty years ago, there was no three-dimensional mobility, no black gold bamboo blades, only ordinary swords. All these stocks were taken out and handed over to the army, letting them go to fight.

Such simple equipment and no tactical expedition is to die.

Two months after the fall of Maria Wall, the expeditionary force set off. This is the largest expedition in a hundred years, and it will also be the most tragic one.

The city gates were opened, and the main road was crowded with onlookers who watched the army leave the city.

The cannons on the city walls were on alert. If they found a giant approaching the city gate, they would immediately fire. There were also soldiers from the garrison on the city walls. If a giant appeared below, they would also provide support to ensure that the army would not be attacked by the giant before leaving the city.

Some people were cheering, and some were watching indifferently. People's joys and sorrows were not the same. Although they were standing in the same city, everyone had different ideas.

Duran and Mikasa found the trio of Eren. They now rely on doing odd jobs to exchange for food. Because there is an old soldier from the garrison to take care of them, they are not worried about their lives. However, these three guys are not obedient people. They will get into trouble from time to time, and they need the help of the old soldier to deal with it.

Their trio is often like this. Armin is bullied, and Eren sees injustice and roars. He rushes up without looking at the enemy situation and is beaten up by a group. Then little Mikasa comes on the scene and outputs a wave of one against many. It belongs to the mode of Armin starting the monster, Eren being the main tank, and Mikasa output.

This is basically the case every time they fight. At this time, the three of them also hope that the army can win and recapture the Maria Wall.

When all the troops left the city and the city gates were closed, there were still people who were reluctant to leave. They wanted to stay where they were and wait for the good news of victory.

However, the expedition would not have a result so soon, at least after lunch. After all, the giants had to wait until lunch time to attack humans, so the victory would not be decided so quickly.

"Based on the expedition time of the Survey Corps in the past, it is generally good if the expedition can last for half a day." Duran said to a stern uncle beside him: "Don't you think so, Dr. Yeager?"

The uncle was stunned and looked at the person behind him. He knew that it was the militia Duran who performed well when the Maria Wall was breached. Duran was a hero of the refugees in the past two months. He provided many jobs and resources, but there were rumors that he and the Red Meteor were accomplices and planned many criminal activities together.

Why did he know me and why did he talk to me? Yeager is Allen's father. He has never looked for his son in two months, but today he suddenly appeared in the crowd watching the expedition. He seems to have some purpose.

"Don't be so scared, I won't hurt you." Duran said: "Come with me."

Yeager wanted to run, but after considering it, he followed Duran to a secluded place.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

Duran looked at Yeager and asked, "I didn't expect that a Marleyan criminal would marry and have children in Eldia. It's really amazing. But it's been ten years since you became a giant, and you don't have much time left. What do you want to do now? Pass the power of the giant to your son?"

Yeager shuddered and immediately prepared for battle. If it really didn't work, he would defeat the opponent even if he turned into a giant, because Yeager knew that the opponent was likely to be Marleyan.

"Who are you?"

"I'm your old friend." In another world of giants, Duran and Yeager are indeed old friends. They discussed demolishing the wall together in a tavern.
