Zongman: Harem's Music

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi responded, leaning over to help Ani up while whispering, "Talk less and nod more later!"

After saying that, Xi Gong Si turned around and returned to his original state, and said with a smile: "Let's go!"

……

The inner wall area of ​​the Trost District.

In the center of the square, Alan, who had not yet regained consciousness, was tied to a column by iron wire. Surrounding him were stationed soldiers holding flintlock rifles and standing by. In the distance, there were three fixed cannons that had been fully loaded and ready.

Fifty meters ahead, the senior officers of the garrison corps, led by Pisis, were all waiting for something.

Chizwellman suggested, "Commander, that guy is too dangerous. If he turns into a giant again... I suggest that we shoot him on the spot before he wakes up!"

"Well, that makes sense!" Pisis nodded, but then changed the subject, "But don't you think the proposal of the young Count Xigong is more valuable?"

Qizwellman looked excited: "How is it possible to make the giants work for us?"

Behind Pisis, a stern cadre said calmly, "But if we succeed, we might be able to recapture the Trost District and even the entire Wall Maria region!"

"But……"

"I have my own plans!" Pisis waved his hand.

Qizwillman had no choice but to lower his head and say, "Yes!"

One on the left and one on the right, two teams of trainees came over, led by two garrison soldiers.

"Commander, bring the Order Maintenance Team here!"

"Commander, reconnaissance and early warning squad three is here!"

The Order Maintenance Team is naturally Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's team. As for the Reconnaissance and Early Warning Team, it is the team where Reiner and Berthold are. Now there are only three people left: Kiltstein, Connie and Marco.

Looking at the brown-haired youth who stood still and saluted with all the others standing still, Pisis bowed slightly due to his status, then chuckled and said, "You are Nishimiya Siyi, the famous benevolent nobleman, right? You're even younger than I thought!"

The officers of the garrisoned corps all followed Pisis in bowing slightly. This was how the aristocracy was under the monarchy. Even if he had no real power, even if you looked down on him, you still had to respect him on the surface.

The trainees including Historia, Sasha, Mina, and Kiltstein looked at Nishimiya Tsuyoshi in surprise. After three years of living together, they only knew that Nishimiya Tsuyoshi and Mikasa were from the royal capital, but they knew nothing about the others.

……

Chapter 104 Proposal!

"You are serious!"

As the saying goes, don't strike a smiling face. Moreover, Nishimiya Siyi has always adhered to the principle of showing weakness to the enemy and being humble to others. After returning the greeting slightly, he said, "You are the hero who commands the Southern Garrison and defends humanity on the front lines!"

"It's my duty, how dare I call myself a hero!" Pisis smiled and shook his head. He had indeed lost his patience in playing Tai Chi with Nishimiya Tsutomu and said bluntly, "Regarding the proposal you asked Ian Dietrich to convey to me about using Eren Jaeger to retake the Trost District, I hope you can elaborate on it!"

"it's actually really easy!"

Nishimiya Tsukasa raised the corner of his mouth and turned to look at the still unconscious Eren who was tied to a stone pillar in the distance. "What humans can do, giants can't do, because giants have no wisdom; what giants can do, humans can't do, because humans are weak... But if humans become giants and keep their sanity... what strategic value will it be? I believe you should understand better than me!"

"It was these giants that led to the fall of Wall Maria... If we had the same combat power, retaking Wall Maria would naturally be impossible!"

Qizwellman on the side couldn't help but say, "But you...how can you guarantee that the monster won't do anything harmful to humans?"

"Monster? Are you referring to Allen?" Nishimiya Tsuyoshi glanced at Chizwellman. "Nothing is without risk. All we can do is reduce the risk... and increase feasibility. You don't deny that, do you?"

Cheez Wilman: "So what if that's the case?"

"Eren Yeager, born in the Hikenxia District, witnessed his mother being eaten by a Titan that entered the wall when he was twelve years old... Let me ask you, would someone with such an experience favor the Titans, even if they were not loyal to humans?"

Nishimiya Tsugumi paused after speaking and looked at Pisis, "Also, the Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan were both killed by the Silver Titan, and the Silver Titan and the Female Titan are nowhere to be found... The only person who can transform into a Titan now is Eren Yeager. In other words, the only clue to why humans can become Titans, why intelligent Titans keep destroying city walls, and why there are fights between intelligent Titans... is Eren Yeager!"

"Yes!" Pisis nodded, "Please continue!"

Nishimiya Tsukasa continued, "Whether it's recovering lost territory or seeking true knowledge... Eren Yeager is the indispensable link. His life... is far more valuable than his death!"

"As for specific measures, I have some ideas. There's a huge rock near the damaged gate that's big enough to block it, but it's absolutely impossible for humans to move it. But if it's a giant, that's another matter!"

"Based on the above, I believe it is necessary to wait for Eren to wake up and communicate with him before deciding on his treatment... Regarding Captain Wilman's concerns, if Eren Yeager shows hostility towards us, I will personally kill him!"

Nishimiya Tsukasa perfectly portrayed the role of a young nobleman who was making plans for the benefit of mankind. He also added a touch of pride that a young talent should have. He raised his lips and said, "I've finished speaking. You make the decision!"

"How good are you?" Pisis looked at Xigong Siyi deeply, and even omitted the honorifics in his seriousness.

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi didn't care either, and smiled calmly, "If we want to persuade him, we'll be 70% sure. If we want to kill him... Mikasa and I will be 90% sure!"

"it is good!"

He had also heard about the extraordinary fighting power of Nishimiya Tsukasa and Mikasa. After saying hello, Pisis said sternly, "If you are willing to take responsibility for what you said, I will be at your disposal until we recapture the Trost District."

“…” Xigong Si was stunned when he heard this.

At first glance, it seems that Pisis thinks highly of Xigong Siyi. After the success, Xigong Siyi's reputation will undoubtedly reach an unprecedented height, but in fact, it is only fame. The real benefits still need to go through the royal government procedures to find out what they are... But if it fails, Xigong Siyi will have to bear the consequences. Regardless of success or failure, Pisis will remain in power.

Old fox! After cursing silently, Nishimiya Siyi said with a smile: "For the sake of humans and the king, I am happy to do it!"

In fact, neither the title, money, nor the fiefdom are of much use to Xigong Siyi. The originally most useless reputation is what he really wants.

First gain the support of the people, then control the top echelons of the system, only then can you proceed smoothly!

Pisis suddenly turned to the girls behind Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, "Who is the Anilonard trainee?"

"It's me!" Ani looked up.

Pixis narrowed his eyes and said, "You are from the same area as Reiner Braun and Berthold Hoover... right?"

As he spoke, the garrison officers around him quietly placed their hands on the hilts of their swords, and a flintlock team on standby not far away also placed their index fingers on the triggers.

……

Chapter 105: Protect!

Reiner Braun and Berthold Hoover were witnessed by the field commander when they transformed into Titans... And when joining the Survey Corps, Annie filled out a false birthplace that was exactly the same as the two of them. As Nishimiya Tsuyoshi had expected, it attracted the attention of someone with ulterior motives and was eventually reported to the Southern Commander-in-Chief.

"Because of the massive turmoil caused by the fall of Wall Maria five years ago... most of the people who flocked to Wall Rose only wrote a simple summary when re-registering..."

Pisis took a piece of paper from his subordinate and observed Ani's facial expression. "If he could sneak into Wall Rose among the refugees at this time, lie in wait for a few years, and then find an opportunity to join the training corps without us noticing, it would be very easy..."

"Speaking of which..."

Nishimiya Tsukasa, with a thoughtful expression, turned to look at Annie at the right moment, shielding Pisis's scrutiny with his back, and said, "Annie, you seem to have told me that although you're from the same hometown as 807, you, Reiner, and Bertholdt had never met before joining the Survey Corps, right?"

"Ah~hmm!"

Did you say that?

Ani knew very well that she had never mentioned her past to Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, but it was obvious that Nishimiya Tsuyoshi was protecting her.

"Commander Pisis, I'm so sorry. This guy was frightened earlier... and he's still a little shaken!"

Nishimiya Tsukasa ruffled Ani's hair affectionately, then turned to look at Pisis, "Ani rarely interacts with those two people. She spent the most time with me in the past three years. This is something that all the students of the same period have witnessed!"

Nishimiya Tsukasa knew very well that his noble status was the best protection. Unless the evidence was too conclusive, no one would suspect that he, who had only been out of the capital a handful of times, had any connection with the giants... The more intimate he acted with Annie, the more he was exonerating her from suspicion.

"I can testify!"

"I can too!"

"And I!"

"Me too!"

Mikasa, Sasha, Mina, and Historia said in succession.

"And me!" It was Connie who spoke.

Kiltstein also said sincerely: "She really rarely interacts with Reiner and Berthold... Most of the time she is alone, or practicing fighting techniques with Nishimiya and Mikasa!"

Ani's usually timid and withdrawn personality, which was not good at getting along with her companions, played an unexpected role...

"Is that so?" Pisis lowered his head and pondered for a while. After a long time without finding any clues, he gave up and said, "If that's the case, it must be just a coincidence!"

"Then... let's start trying to solve the imminent problem!" Nishimiya Siyi changed the subject while bluntly saying to an unknown garrison soldier, "Go fetch a bucket of clean water!"

The soldier subconsciously looked at Pisis, and after seeing him nod slightly to indicate that he would do it, he hurried away as he was told.

Nishimiya Siyi said with a half-smile, "Commander Pisis's rule is truly strict!"

Pisis pulled out a metal wine flask from his bosom, unscrewed the cap with one hand, took a small sip, touched the bottle, and said with a kind smile, "After all, I have served in the garrison for most of my life!"

Soon, the garrison soldier came back with a bucket of water!

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi nodded at Allen in the distance, signaling him to use water to wake Allen up.

The soldier swallowed his saliva, and suppressed his anxiety to wake the monster up, not knowing what would happen... He walked straight towards Allen, and Nishimiya Tsuyoshi followed him slowly!

"..."

Looking at Nishimiya Jiichi's back, Annie was thoughtful. She was almost certain... Nishimiya Jiichi already knew that she was a giant, because from her point of view, Nishimiya Jiichi's hints and protection of her were too obvious!

There is touching feeling, but more of complexity and uneasiness!

How should I face him...

Reiner and Bertholdt have been eaten by the Founding Titan, and she is the only one left in the first echelon of the Marley government's operation...

Having lost three [Titan Powers] in a row, even if she could return, all that awaited her was an immediate change of power holders and death in the belly of the next [Female Titan]...

While Ani had a blank expression on her face and mixed feelings, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi and the stationed soldier had already walked up to the stone pillar.

Alan, chained to a stone pillar in a sitting position, lowered his head, his brows furrowed and relaxed, as if he had dreamed of something bad...

Xigong Siyi said calmly: "Wake him up!"

Wow~

The cold water in the wooden barrel poured out, and the colorless and transparent ice-cold water splashed on Eren Yeager's lowered head. The ends of his hair were instantly soaked, and then wrinkled strands of hair stuck to his forehead...

"alert!"

Just when Allen raised his head suddenly due to the cold water and was about to wake up, Chizwellman shouted loudly, and the more than 20 garrison soldiers surrounding Allen in a semicircle were alert and raised their flintlock rifles together!

……

(If nothing goes wrong, it will be put on the shelves tomorrow. As a salted fish, I will also show off my skills at that time ()... After it is put on the shelves, the daily updates will also be increased!).

Chapter 106: The Battle to Recapture Trost (Part 1)

After waking up, Alan murmured softly: "Home, basement... the reason for everything"

...Have Grisha's memories begun to resurrect in him? Nishimiya Tsukasa instantly understood the reason.

When Allen looked up and saw Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, a look of fear inexplicably appeared on his face when the relationship between looking up and looking down was established. He subconsciously wanted to struggle, but he could not move because of the chains wrapped around his body...

This fear came quickly and went away quickly...

After being silent for a few seconds, Alan, who was still occupied by dreams, or rather the memories of his father Grisha Yeager, finally woke up completely.

His arms and body were unable to move, and he was surrounded by soldiers stationed there with terrified faces pointing their guns at each other. Alan was completely confused and said blankly: "Where... am I...? Why... are they pointing their guns at me? Oh, Amin-..."

Recalling his last memory before he lost consciousness, Allen looked around hurriedly. When he saw the familiar figure of Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, he was delighted: "Nishimiya, where's Amin? Is he okay?"

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi suppressed his interest in Allen's emotional shift when he faced him. He said seriously, "The four members of the fixed artillery maintenance squad, except for you, were all killed! Amin Arnold died gloriously as a soldier. Allen!"

The last bit of luck was ruthlessly crushed. Allen's eyes were bloodshot, and two lines of tears flowed out. The five fingers of his hands pressed against the stone pillar were desperately scratching the surface of the stone pillar. Under the bloodstains, his nails were already peeling, but he seemed to feel no pain. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, why is it like this... Damn it..."

"Perhaps you should pay more attention to your own situation now than to him!" Nishimiya Si said.

"Right, right. Why am I tied up? What happened? Where are the giants? What's going on in the Trost District? Were the people successfully evacuated?"

"It looks like you really don't remember anything!" Nishimiya Tsutomu half-knelt in front of him and whispered, "Reiner is the Armored Titan, Bertholdt is the Colossal Titan... and you, you also became a Titan... Do you remember anything?"

Allen forced a smile and said, "Reiner, Titan, what are you talking about? How is this possible..."

Nishimiya Siyi said again: "You should at least remember that you were eaten by a giant, right?"

"Ah..." Allen's expression froze, but he remembered this, "I was indeed eaten... by a giant... Damn it, why can't I remember anything else...!"

"Now is not the time to think about this, Alan!"

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi said with a serious expression, "Did you see those guns pointed at you? Some people who fear you want to be shot on the spot. I barely managed to persuade them... But whether you can survive this day depends on you!"

"What's the meaning?"

"You need to show your loyalty to humanity and the value of living... Turn into a giant, move the huge stone near the outer wall door, and block the gap in the destroyed door!" Nishimiya Tsutomu said word by word.

"If you can do this, not only will you not die at the hands of the Legion, but you'll also have a chance to become the key to retaking Wall Maria. You'll be a hero of humanity, do you understand?"

"...Although I'm still confused, it will be fine as long as I block the gap in the gate, right? I can't guarantee that I will succeed, but I will try my best!" Allen said firmly.

Asking for flowers

As expected of the protagonist, he truly lived up to the saying: Don't ask me why, it's just passion! Nishimiya Tsuyoshi secretly complained to himself, then stood up and said to the garrisoned soldier beside him, "Untie his chains!"

"But……"
