Chapter 2543: Popular
Because the Rais family has lost the power of its ancestor, the patriarch has been careful to keep a low profile. However, as a man who wants to spread the royal bloodline, he has not continued to get married and have children in the past few years. I don’t know if it is because he is too old to have children or something. other reasons. Fortunately, he had a one-night stand with a maid before and gave birth to a daughter. Although he could not raise her openly, she was still of royal blood.
With this daughter, there is still hope, the hope of regaining the ancestor giant.
Inside Eren's body is the Attack Titan, the one that ate the ancestor. After the news reached the Reyes family, the patriarch immediately decided to capture Allen and his daughter at the same time.
At this time, everyone else is trying to find the lurking giant. Since there is an Allen, it means that there are more transformable giants lurking in the crowd, and now they must be found.
Allen was taken to the Survey Corps' manor by the soldier commander for training and supervision.
However, they couldn't find it after searching aimlessly. At this time, they still had to arrange a battle, so everyone decided to leave the Wall of Ruth for an expedition. If these enemies cared about Allen, they would definitely be exposed.
In the original book, the Homecoming trio really wanted to capture Allen, so the Survey Corps did lure out the lurking enemy, and also carried out an arrest, and successfully captured Arnie. In the original book, Reiner and Hoover were in the Survey Corps, and Arnie was in the Military Police, so the two of them transmitted information and Arnie was responsible for arresting them. They had no idea that all of this was Captain Alvin's plan to lure the snake out of its hole. Because he suspected that Allen's appearance attracted the enemy's attention, so that they did not destroy the Wall of Ruth as originally planned.
Captain Alvin did guess correctly, but Duran was different from the trio. He had no interest in Allen at all, so naturally the Homecoming trio would not take action now.
Therefore, Captain Alvin's entire plan came to nothing. Although many arrangements were made, the enemy did not appear, so the corps just walked around outside the Wall of Ruth without gaining anything.
"Trap?" When the troops were withdrawn, Hoover realized that it was a trap, because he saw many rope launchers. These things must have been lying in ambush in the forest to ambush the giants. Hoover realized that the Corps had suspected that the Giant was around.
The action failed. Alvin knew that the enemy was much smarter than he thought, so he still continued to act. Perhaps we should test the suspicious elements one by one, eliminate the suspicions one by one, and finally find the enemy. He thinks the recruits in the 104th batch are suspicious.
Hoover quickly told his teammates all this.
Duran told them: "So don't underestimate the enemy. The enemy's IQ will crush you three little guys." "But it doesn't matter. They will be in civil strife next. Let's seize this opportunity to meet with reinforcements."
"Civil unrest?" Ani said he didn't understand.
"Not only do you want Allen, there are also people within the wall who want Allen. The Survey Corps is very annoying now, so the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely take action against the Survey Corps to get Allen. All we have to do is watch the show. When they are in civil strife, we will mobilize everyone to occupy more farms and land." Dulan said that he was about to take action.
On the surface, the Military Police Corps is a military police force that manages the discipline of various military regiments, but in fact it is a private army of nobles. However, because all the suppression troops have been wiped out, they cannot directly suppress them, so now the Military Police can only accuse the Survey Corps of unfounded charges. Find some black material, such as announcing that they violated the security of the high wall, and then follow the procedures to arrest the Survey Corps.
Originally, if the Survey Corps' bait plan was successful, it would lead to Arnie. When Ani escapes, he will reveal the truth that there are all giants in the high wall, and then the Survey Corps will go to the priest of the High Wall Sect to learn the truth. Then it will be discovered that the Gendarmerie Corps assassinated the priest and hid the truth. From this, the two regiments began to antagonize and calculate, and eventually launched a series of struggles around Allen.
However, the Survey Corps has no suspicion of the Military Police, so its activities are very passively restricted, and it is required to hand over Allen.
Alvin realized that something was wrong. The military police regiment obviously did not follow the rules. Fortunately, he also had a back-up plan. He quickly sent a message to the commander, asking them to hide with Allen and then go to the deputy commander Han. Ji, he himself stayed to battle wits and courage with the enemy.
"I found that your senior leaders in Marais really don't have any IQ. Look at the heads of the Eldia corps. Are they all very intelligent?" In fact, politicians both inside and outside the island are all idiots. Really Those who have wisdom and courage are all generals. This is probably the fault of the military merit conferment system.
Because politicians are hereditary, they don't need to know how to run a country well. They only need to talk about romance to become officials. There are a large number of civilians in the army. If they want to be promoted, they must sharpen their heads and use their intelligence. Therefore, there is a phenomenon where politicians are all idiots and military officers are wise.
Faced with the malicious intentions of the Gendarmerie, the Survey Corps quickly adjusted its tactics and prepared to trap the head of the Gendarmerie to interrogate the truth. It's another trap. The Survey Corps seizes Allen as the bait, which can be said to be a success.
Because he discovered that the target of the Gendarmerie was also Allen, the commander enlisted a businessman who delivered supplies for the Gendarmerie as a partner and asked the businessman to deliver false news. Once again, Allen was used as bait to trap the head of the Military Police Regiment.
The officers of the Military Police were sitting in a carriage. The merchant said he would take them to find Allen, and then they fell off a cliff on the mountain road. In fact, Allen turned into a giant and caught the carriage, and directly captured everyone on the carriage.
With the power of the giant, the Survey Corps can use unexpected tactics.
The next step is interrogation, but the leaders of the Military Police are all stubborn. They just don't say why they want to arrest Allen, nor who gave the order.
They think they are a necessary evil. Although they kill civilians and frame their colleagues, what they do is to protect the empire from the harm of the giants, which is quite romantic.
Faced with such an unyielding enemy, Hanji, a smart female soldier, is ready to use torture. She knows how the Military Police interrogates, and she will follow suit.
But Duran stopped Hanji: "Why torture if you want to interrogate? Believe it or not, the more you torture, the less likely the other party will repent of his actions? Because what you are doing now is no different from what he did."
"How do you know we are here?" This is a secret camp, and Duran's sudden appearance is not in line with common sense.
"Hehe, if you want to eat and drink, you have to exchange with the people around you. Our militia has nothing but the people's hearts. They are all my spies, and you can't hide from them." Duran explained.
Hanji also knew that Duran was taking the people's route, but her attitude towards the people was undeniable. She always believed that as long as the upper class changed, the people would naturally change, and there was no need to specially open the people's wisdom. Obviously, she thought that the people were easy to fool, and there was no need to spend a lot of money to improve the people's knowledge level.
"Okay, leave this to me." Duran said.
Hanji reluctantly agreed: "We don't have much time. If you can't ask, then I will torture." Although she didn't want to torture, if there was no other way, she could only do so. She was willing to be stained with blood.
Duran nodded and entered the interrogation room. The head of the Military Police Corps smiled and was fearless. It was obvious that he thought he was fighting for the right thing. It reminded Duran of a samurai. A samurai is loyal to his master regardless of right or wrong. The master's business is the right thing.
The head of the Corps can have such a position not because of his talent, but because of his loyalty.
