Chapter 2560 Basement
Allen is anxiously waiting for a response, because he is ready for a battle, and he must buy time for the island. So he wanted to attack the coalition meeting from the bottom of his heart, because he really believed that the coalition would become a threat to the island.
But instead of waiting for a cooperative combat reply, Reiner waited.
The Homecoming trio have been basically confirmed to be the spies hiding within the high wall. Unfortunately, when everyone wanted to catch them, the trio escaped and no one knew where they were hiding.
But I didn't expect that Reiner would show up in Marais. Allen couldn't help but think of the time when they trained together in Period 104. At that time, he and Arnie were in the same fighting training group. He was amazed by Arnie's excellent fighting skills and later learned from them.
Although Hoover was taciturn, he could always grasp the key to the problem and made a profound impact on people. Reiner is even more of a good gentleman, often making peace between him and Jean.
Who would have thought that these three people would be spies sent by Malay to the high wall. They broke through the wall twice and killed countless people, including his own mother.
So Allen was very angry, but Reiner asked him to endure it: "Follow me." Reiner took Allen to the basement: "Please sit down."
There are two chairs in the basement, one each for Reiner and Eren. The venue for the coalition meeting is being prepared outside. The venue is in the isolation area and is set up in the open air. Moreover, the soldiers did not clean the surrounding buildings or check whether there were any suspicious persons inside.
Allen just wants to ask questions now: "It was you, Hoover, and Arnie who sneaked into Eldia and destroyed Wall Maria, right?" His eyes almost burst out with fire.
"Indeed, I am an armored giant, Hoover is a super giant, and Arnie is a female giant." Reiner's temperament was completely different at this time. He stated these facts in a calm and leisurely manner, rather than suddenly. He was so nervous that he informed Allen of his life-and-death identity. In the original novel, Reiner was really mad.
Allen clenched his fists and said coldly: "In one year, you did so many things, but you had the nerve to spend a year with the relatives of the victims like us. Don't you guys have no conscience and don't you feel ashamed? "
Reiner looked at Allen and said: "You should understand the history of Eldia now. To people outside the island, Eldia is a closed warehouse, closed for a hundred years. Back then When the three of us were responsible for infiltrating, we knew nothing about the inside of the wall. We had no idea how many giants, how many weapons, and how many soldiers were hidden in the warehouse, so we had to open it to see. After that, we broke through it twice in a row. The wall successfully investigated what was going on inside the wall, and we left."
Allen couldn't imagine that the other party was so cold-blooded: "What about those people who were killed? Don't you care at all? In order to find out our details, can you kill innocent people indiscriminately? And my mother, Reiner, and I Why did his mother die?" At this time, Allen was resisting the urge to transform. He was already very angry. Reiner's guilt-free expression made people grit their teeth, making people want to bite him off. A shameless face.
"This is the price that the Kingdom of Eldia must pay. It was destined to be like this when the high wall was built a hundred years ago. Those of us Eldians outside the island have suffered no less sacrifices than you. If we want to If I cry, I can cry more miserably than you, but I know that the source of all this tragedy is the result of Eldia's wrong tyranny in the past two thousand years. We, the descendants, are the ones who bear the consequences. Instead of crying, we should accept it bravely. , and then draw a clear line with tyranny and prove to the world that we are no longer the same. We will not repeat mistakes, but we will not let others bully us. We will use our own power to redeem our mistakes, that's all." Reiner is true. It is to become a qualified fighter and a fighter with faith: "We have the tasks of our time. If we don't do it, then our descendants will continue to suffer the consequences of our mistakes. So put away your tears, put away Your cheap and useless anger, anger will not solve the problem, it will only make you lose your mind."
Allen was confused. What kind of attitude was this? He clearly killed his mother. How could Reiner be so confident and shameless? Does this kind of person really have no heart?
However, Reiner's big-picture words also made Allen a little confused about how to refute. Because he also knows the suffering of the Eldians and the world's attitude towards Eldia. If something is not done, it is true that not only his mother's generation will have to sacrifice, but his own generation will also have to sacrifice, and even his own descendants. Also sacrifice. If we don't change, we will become like the honorable Marais, who will continue to be discriminated against, abused and treated like domestic animals.
Allen admitted that Reiner's idea of doing something was right, and he could even admit that sacrifice was necessary, but he still would not forgive Reiner. Because he saw the future and knew there were other ways to change everything.
At this time, the meeting outside had begun, and the two of them stopped talking in unison to listen to what was being said in the meeting outside.
The commanders-in-chief of various countries have come, giving Marais enough face, and Marais has set up a stage to sing a big show for them. Even the Deba family showed up to tell the story themselves.
It tells the story of Marley's independence. In the story, the Warhammer Giant owned by the Daiba family is the protagonist. He was the first to awaken and the first to resist the ancestor giant. Finally, under the leadership of the hero, he became the 145th King of Eldia. Only then will he return to the island.
The scene was full of cheers, as if paying tribute to the warriors who defeated the dragon.
After reviewing the history, it is time to talk about the current situation. The Tybur family talked about the strange things that happened on the island recently. The ship that first landed on the island lost contact for no reason, and the spies who sneaked into the island in recent years also disappeared.
"... All these things show that the demons on the island have not given up the mainland. They are just waiting, waiting for an opportunity. I don't know if you still remember what the 145th king said when he landed on the island. He said that if anyone disturbed the peace of the island, he would launch the rumbling, flatten the entire continent, and let everyone die. The demons on the island have a weapon called the rumbling, and they are about to rely on the rumbling to counterattack the mainland, so we must unite and form a coalition to land on the island and completely and eradicate the era of demons."
The patriarch of the Tybur family, a handsome man with long hair, said excitedly, and the audience around cheered.
Reiner and Allen in the basement could hear these voices. Allen heard that all these were threats, and these people deserved to die. Only in this way can the establishment of the coalition be delayed.
Originally, Eren should have transformed at this time, but Mikasa and the others had not sent back any information. If they cooperated internally and externally, this should be a perfect battle. If it was just him, even if he transformed, he might not be able to escape unscathed. Death would not matter, but if his two giant powers were obtained by Marley, he would be finished.
So without reinforcements, he could not fight.
"Are you scared?" Reiner asked, "Do you want to kill everyone outside to delay the coalition?" "I advise you not to do this, because it will give you a pretext. Why did the Tybur family of Marley jump out to take the lead now? It's because Marley is already terminally ill. Just like Eldia a hundred years ago. Why did Eldia, which had giants, lose the continent? It was because of the side effects of expansion, which led to the intensification of conflicts among the nobles and finally caused a civil war. It is not said that a powerful empire can be easily defeated by the enemy. Basically, the country is corrupted first, and the internal force is the main reason for the collapse of the building. External force is just a catalyst, and it may even be a booster for the survival of a great power. So you should know that you must not take action now."
Alan obviously didn't understand this. After all, he didn't like to study and didn't know enough about Eldia and Marley.
