Chapter 559: Die for Humanity (Original)
After Peak finished talking about the battle plan, Armin, Mikasa and Marco, as well as Rico, Anka and others under Peak, discussed the specific purpose of this battle plan again.
In fact, this battle plan was just to help Eren block the city gate, not to really fight the giants to death.
As long as the giants were led aside, Marco was also very calm, saying that he understood the battle plan and put forward his own suggestions.
In fact, everyone felt that compared with the other top six graduates of this time, Mikasa, Ani, Reiner, Hoover, Eren and Jean, Marco was obviously more capable of leadership.
The other top six people, although their grades were better than Marco, were actually more suitable as soldiers than leaders.
He now also keenly saw that...
If the fear of the giants was the only driving force behind this battle plan, it would be extremely limited.
Sure enough, even if the soldiers below heard a feasible plan, even if Allen, who was the "successful experimenter in the secret giant transformation experiment", forged his identity and got Peak's endorsement, he could go to block the damaged gate of Wall Rose.
But everyone was still skeptical.
"You're talking nonsense!"
The soldier who had just collapsed and almost fought with the military police immediately retorted loudly in fear, "How can you risk your life for such an inexplicable reason!"
"What do you think of us?!"
"We... are not swords that are thrown away after use!!"
After someone started it, others also began to follow suit--
"Human weapons? Bah!"
"Guess how many people will believe this bullshit! Do you think we are stupid!"
"Let's go!"
"I want to spend the last moment of humanity with my family!"
"You want me to die here today! I won't accompany you!!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
...
So some people began to take the lead in running away, and even some soldiers of the military police who were maintaining order joined in.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, fear was about to bring chaos, and the battle was about to fail before it even started...
The voice of Commander Peak came from above, but he did not order the execution of these rebels to maintain order, but...
"My order!!"
He shouted to the chaotic soldiers below, "Waste the crime of those who leave here now!"
"What?!"
Everyone was stunned, and even Alan next to Peak had a puzzled look in his eyes.
This... Just let the deserters leave without pursuing the crime?
Isn't this a direct announcement of the failure of the battle?
However...
"Those who once succumbed to the fear of the giants can no longer fight against the giants!"
Peak looked at them and continued to say loudly, "Those who know the horror of the giants, just leave here!!"
In this way, many people hesitated.
Because they recalled the terrible experiences in the past, the terrible scenes of their companions being buried in the mouths of the giants.
But at this time, Peak continued to shout, "Then!!"
"Those who want their parents and brothers to love deeply also experience the horror of the giant!!"
"Just leave here!!"
As soon as these words came out, the chaotic scene instantly quieted down.
Whether it was the soldiers who planned to participate in the battle or those who planned to escape, they all stood there in a daze.
Among them, the military police soldier who initially planned to cooperate with the escaped soldiers and take advantage of the chaos to leave here and reunite with his family at the beginning of the battle also stood there in a daze.
Because...
"Only this won't work..."
He thought of his young daughter, that tiny figure, that hopeful look.
And that... terrible giant.
Once the giant completely breaks through the Rose Wall, his daughter may really experience the kind of horror he saw.
So...
"Only this... Don't even think about it..."
He said with determination, "Because my daughter is my... last hope!!"
So he turned around without hesitation and walked with other soldiers who were also returning to the direction of death for their families.
Countless soldiers came back because their families were behind them.
Even the soldier who was completely crushed by fear at the beginning, he suppressed his fear, and walked back in tears and a little embarrassed.
Everyone was comforting him.
Alan was watching all this from above. He always maintained the etiquette of offering his heart and felt the various aspects of the world.
He became more determined in his heart——
"I don't know if I can move the rock with the strength of the giant..."
"But I understand my mission..."
"It may be a fake...but..."
"Even so, I must succeed..."
"I have to be..."
"Be everyone's hope!!"
Seeing this, many passionate comic fans were moved. It is this behavior of pursuing life despite facing death that proves why humans are great.
This is the courage of those who go to die. It is not shameful to be afraid or to be cowardly.
Only after fear and cowardice, there is still the courage to move forward bravely and to continue to fight, which is still admirable.
Moving forward because you are afraid is the same as moving forward because you are not afraid.
Even more admirable.
"Tears, the hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage!"
"Salute to the dead!"
"I would like to use David's words to describe them: life is insignificant, death is glorious!"
"Give your heart to humanity!!! I really fall in love with this etiquette inexplicably!!"
"This sentence and this etiquette are really great! The heart represents courage, strength and life. Giving your heart to mankind is really inexplicably great."
"Old thief Qingshan's works are always inexplicably passionate..."
"Hot-blooded? Have I seen a ghost? When did the old thief's works become 'hot-blooded'?"
"Isn't "Fist of Fire" hot-blooded? Isn't "Edge Walker" hot-blooded? Isn't "The Strange Immortal" hot-blooded?"
"Okay, okay, I understand what you said. Be careful, the old thief is really going to be 'hot-blooded' later."
"Is it the kind of 'hot blood' that makes my whole body ignite?"
"Ah, yes, yes! The old thief's works are very passionate."
"No matter what, I am still very moved here. The fearful person resolutely turned back for the thing he was protecting."
"Especially the man who turned back for his daughter... is really a man!"
"I always cry inexplicably during these strange moments. Old thief Qingshan, are you going to kill me?"
"I can only say that...according to past experience, there are places in the back that are easy to kill."
"Old thief!!! I will kill you a thousand times!! It's not enough!!"

Finally, Commander Peake also gave a final mobilization speech.
"Tell me about what happened four years ago!"
This time he even did not hesitate to tell the hidden secrets from before, saying, "The battle to recapture Wall Maria four years ago!"
"I think everyone knows it without me saying it."
In the eyes of everyone, Commander Peak boldly told what happened in the past, "It sounds like it's a retaking operation, but in fact it's an attempt by the higher authorities to reduce the large number of refugees who cannot afford to support!!"
"For no one to say anything about it would be a disgrace to driving them outside the walls."
"We can survive here today! Everyone, including me, is guilty!!"
Some people have known about this for a long time and are tacit about it, while others are very frightened when they find out about it for the first time.
“Because the situation at Wall Maria was in the minority, the dispute was not superficial.”
Peak continued loudly, "But!! What will happen this time?!"
"If the Wall of Rose is breached, it will not be as simple as a 20% reduction in the human population!"
"The land of the last Sheena Wall alone cannot support even half of the remaining human beings!!"
He stated the reason why this battle must be carried out and said, "If humans perish, it will definitely not be because they are eaten by giants, but because humans kill each other!!"
"We must not die on the inner wall!!"
In the end, he was full of determination that he would both die and win, and loudly announced, "Please be sure to die here...die here!!"
Suddenly, the soldiers present finally understood that even if they survived and entered the Wall of Xina with their families, they might not survive.
Only by dying here, allowing the battle to be successfully carried out, and blocking the gate of the Wall of Rose, can there be... hope for the family to survive.
So... they decided to die generously here! !
Next, all the soldiers mobilized, even if they were afraid, even if they were afraid, even if they knew that they were about to die!
They still faced it calmly.
And just when Allen transformed into a giant again and landed in front of the big rock, the battle began.
However... something unexpected happened.
Allen, who transformed into a giant this time, actually... had no self-awareness and started destroying... buildings everywhere!
Just like other giants, but he didn't take action against humans, he just destroyed everywhere as if venting violence.
However, when the battle began, there was no turning back, especially when other giants noticed Allen.
In order for their families to survive, other soldiers still carried out the plan even if they had different disputes.
Kill the giants who are close to Allen, or use your body as bait to lure away the giants.
During this period, some soldiers were killed by the giants. Just when everyone was in despair...
It turned out that Armin directly used the three-dimensional mobile device to climb onto Eren's back, and then inserted the knife... into the back of the giant's neck where Eren was seen before.
The blade penetrated directly through Allen's left hand, and he finally woke up!
Armin began to tell his dreams, his revenge, and Eren's mother Carla over and over again.
At this time, for comic fans, there appeared Lin Qingshan's hallucinatory scene that presented the protagonist's mental state in the past.
Allen's mental hallucination was the small house he had lived in since he was a child. Armin asked him over and over again outside the house, causing him to wake up directly.
Finally... he finally woke up completely, and he seemed to know how to control the giant. Finally, he suddenly lifted the boulder next to him for the first time, and then walked step by step... towards the gate of the Wall of Rose!
Suddenly, hope was rekindled in the eyes of Rico, Mikasa and other soldiers, and they began to desperately clear away the giants that blocked Allen's path.
Finally, watching Eren approach the city gate, Armin shouted at the top of his lungs, "Go!!! Eren!!!"
"Fight!!!"
"Boom!!!!"
Eren controlled the Titan and roared, then directly blocked the broken hole in the Rose Wall with a huge rock! !
Everyone watched this scene excitedly, extremely excited.
Rico was even more excited when he saw this scene, and he burst into tears of joy, collapsed on the ground, and cried, "Everyone's...death is finally valuable...Humanity is today..."
She raised the signal gun high, fired a signal flare into the distance, and said, "For the first time...defeated the Titan!!"
Commander Peak saw this signal from afar, so he announced that the operation was successful, and then issued an order to send reinforcements to rescue the front-line soldiers and clean up the remaining Titans.
However, although the city wall was blocked, it seemed that the Titan controlled by Eren could no longer move, emitting steam and slowly evaporating and disappearing.
Seeing this, Mikasa and Armin went directly to Eren's position and pulled him out.
Sure enough, Allen now seemed to have lost all his strength, and was very weak. He could not move at all. He could only hold on and look at his two friends.
At this time... although the gate of Rose Wall was blocked, the giants outside could not come in.
But there were still many giants inside the wall!
They were not completely cleared out.
And now, they all walked towards Allen for some reason. Their tall and ferocious appearance made people feel terrified.
Just when the giants were about to stretch their hands towards Allen and the others...
Suddenly, in the next picture, a shining silver light flew in the air, and a figure spun like a gyroscope and killed the two giants.
Then in the next picture, the two giants had fallen, and only a short man with a short stature and a pair of dead fish eyes stood on the giant with his back to them.
Obviously, he was the one who killed the two giants in one go.
But Allen noticed the badge on his cloak behind him, two black and white wings intersecting to form a badge like a heart.
This is... the emblem of the Survey Corps - Wings of Freedom.
Is the person in front of me a member of the Survey Corps?
So strong...
Compared to the Military Police and the Garrison Corps, who are veterans but still weak in front of the Titans, the short young man in front of me fully demonstrates the strength of a real soldier.
But...
"Hey--"
He seemed to be very impatient and asked Allen and the other two, "Kids, what on earth is this..."
"What's going on?"
However, there is no subsequent plot, but it is briefly explained that the Military Police and the elite Survey Corps gradually cleared out the soldiers who remained in Wall Rose. (End of this chapter)
