"That's fine."
Lin Yan didn't seem to care.
His perseverance was beyond Solum's imagination, and Solum had always thought that Lin Yan was a hothouse flower, but he never expected that this flower was even more resilient.
The journey was more arduous than imagined. And the one who suffered the most was Corinna.
She vomited several times along the way, but each time she smiled and said she was fine, probably because she didn't want them to worry.
"Corina's condition isn't very good either. Let's take a break in the Trost district. There's no rush."
Corina also felt very guilty.
However, her body simply couldn't allow her to continue the long journey, Lin Yan said to himself, looking at Corina whose face looked rather pale.
"Actually, it's not because of you. Everyone is a bit tired. If we continue to rush without regard for our health, and then get sick when we reach our destination, wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?"
He Lina then showed a slight smile.
She knew that Lin Yan was just trying to comfort her.
Since that's the case, she couldn't let Lin Yan's good intentions go to waste, so she smiled gently.
"Yes, you're right."

"How much longer until we reach our destination?" Sorum asked Corina as he rested and kept a watchful eye on his surroundings.
"There are still a few hours left."
Sorum replied.
He noticed that Corina was indeed very physically exhausted. This was related to the fact that she was a girl and also to her job. She rarely had the opportunity to go out and had always served as Lin Yan's assistant.
"I hope you get there quickly."
Corinna said with a tired smile.
"Why are you here? You really startled me." Lin Yan was somewhat interested in this matter.
Why did Solum appear?
Could it be that someone issued an order that could mobilize the Survey Corps? This suggests that the person's identity is not so simple.
"This is my job, and you don't necessarily have to be a guide to do this job."
A tour guide is a special job.
Their job is to transport those with tasks to their designated locations; they are true guides. It's only because this time it wasn't a guide that Lin Yan felt curious. Corinna actually had the same question, but she didn't actually ask.
"I never imagined you would come to protect me one day."
“I wasn’t originally in charge of this job, but the person who was in charge before has passed away, so I’m taking over now.”
Siss.
Solum was referring to Siss.
It's truly pitiful to think of Siss; his wife didn't receive his safe return, but his head. It's a tragic story. What happened to that woman? Could she have endured such a blow?
"Sis?"
How do you know Siss?
"I've only heard about it."
Lin Yan said.
Those bloody scenes were still vivid in his memory, especially the sight of heads being thrown in and landing on the ground. It was truly too bloody and horrific. Lin Yan didn't mention it; he really didn't want to relive it.
Lin Yan was fine.
However, Corinna's body was so weak, and these things were too bloody.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. You're getting married soon. How do you feel? Are you looking forward to it?"
"Why bring this up all of a sudden?"
Sorum was somewhat uncomfortable being suddenly asked about marriage. His wedding was indeed approaching, but it was ultimately a private matter, and even a close friend like Lin Yan would feel embarrassed about it.
In particular, Sorum only had this one first love and had very little dating experience.
It's only natural to feel shy.
But he also felt that a tough man shouldn't be ashamed of these things, which is why he sounded so unnatural when he talked about it.
"There are rumors that the Survey Corps is going to be disbanded."
"Aren't these kinds of baseless rumors always around?"
Solum's feelings were actually quite complicated. On one hand, he didn't want Maria to worry about him, but on the other hand, he hoped to make a difference in the Survey Corps so that he could be worthy of the brothers who had sacrificed their lives.
"This is a crucial time, especially for the Survey Corps."

"Actually, some people still support you."
"None of that matters. Whether the residents like us or not, our responsibilities and obligations will continue."
Sorum remained steadfast on this point, especially after experiencing so much together, having shared so many life-and-death experiences with his brothers. Their relationship had become more than just a simple one; they were people who could entrust their backs to each other.
He won't give up.
What Lin Yan didn't know was that Sorum's unwavering belief was not for the sake of those in power, but for the sake of all living beings, and that he was fighting a bloody battle for them.
This relates to who he is protecting.
If it's the former, then this is something Solum can't handle; if it's the latter, then Solum can forge ahead.
Lin Yan thought for a moment and asked.
"What if there's interference from higher-ups?"
Although the matter is phrased in a somewhat obscure way, its meaning becomes clear with careful consideration. If this matter concerns the ruling party, then what choice will Solum make?
"What on earth do you mean?"
"The conservatives are growing stronger."
"Those timid and hesitant people? Has their power really expanded to such an extent that they can shake the current situation...?"
Solum hadn't expected things to turn out this way; he was only focused on obtaining the secrets of the Titans so he could fight them.
This way, we won't have to witness widespread suffering and death.
Humans are no longer meat on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
This is Solum's wish.
"Actually, the King...the government isn't so airtight; the reformers and conservatives have always been locked in a power struggle."
"So the conservatives are really..."
This statement is quite clear: within the government, the king is divided into two factions. One faction is the conservatives, who are content with the status quo and unwilling to fight the giants. They believe that the giants are invincible and that if humanity continues to be stubborn, then humanity will be completely wiped out, which would be a catastrophe for mankind.
As for those lost territories, they will not be reclaimed.
If the conservatives gain control of the situation, the Survey Corps will be in danger; they will be the first to be targeted. After all, the Survey Corps has always advocated proactive action, and they have been risking their lives to investigate the secrets of the Titans.
Nevertheless, the biggest drawback of the Survey Corps is that it has never achieved any significant accomplishments.
"If that's the case, then the fate of industrial cities will also change, right?"
The original mission of the industrial city was to forge weapons, to forge weapons to fight against the giants, but what would happen to the industrial city if the conservatives took control?
"If we kill the first giant, then we can turn this unbreakable situation around. This is the only way."
"It's easier said than done. How can we make it work?"
Humanity.
They were so weak and insignificant in the face of the giants. They were like ants in the giants' hands, after all, the difference in size was huge. The smallest giant was several meters tall, while the largest giant was tens of meters tall.
Those were no ordinary sizes; the largest giants were even taller than Wall Maria.

Given such a difference in size, only by finding the giant's weakness can one overcome the stronger opponent.
"We, the Survey Corps, will not give up. As long as the Survey Corps is not disbanded, we will definitely find out the Titans' weakness."
Sorum insisted.
He also knew that it would be difficult to fight against the conservatives on his own. As a member of the Survey Corps, he would persevere to the end, even if he was alone.
"That's why you're so hesitant about your marriage."
"But with you here, I think there is still hope."
Sorum looked at Lin Yan and said.
This statement greatly surprised Lin Yan. Why would Sorum say such a thing? Did this man, who exuded astonishing spirit and perseverance, really regard him so highly?
Although Sorum certainly made the right choice in this regard.
"Me?"
"What we need to hope for now is that industrial cities will not be controlled by conservatives, who are probably the least willing to allow industrial cities to play their role."
"Are you really that hopeful of me? You even called me some kind of hope, but I've always been a mediocre person..."
"Mediocrity? The new inventor king says he's mediocre."
Sorum laughed too.
In the workshop… no, in the hearts of many, Lin Yan was an outstanding young man, and he was admired by many young people. The elders also had high expectations for Lin Yan, believing that he would definitely be able to create a weapon to fight against the giants.
Bearing the future of Mary on their shoulders.
This responsibility is far too heavy to bear.
Lin Yan is the only hope that can make a weapon.
Sorum thought so too.
"A new type of weapon?"
Lin Yan was certainly confident.
As for when a new type of weapon can be manufactured, that's a delicate balance to be struck. Sorum is adamant about one thing: he firmly believes that Lin Yan is the one who can break the deadlock, and that he can definitely create an astonishing weapon.
Black bamboo is the best material for this.
Such excellent material can only be brought to its full potential in Lin Yan's hands.
"Even with such a heavy mission on my shoulders, the most important thing right now is... I'm really too tired, I'm going to take a nap."
Lin Yan smiled and said.
He was indeed quite tired.
But that's just an excuse.
Not wanting to continue the discussion, Lin Yan naturally had his own plans. He was also aware of the importance of the upcoming 3D Maneuver Gear to the Survey Corps.
No.
How important this is to those inside the Wall of Mary. Though in the end they will know this cruel fate.
But everyone is suffering, and only self-salvation is possible.
At this moment, we are at Wall Rose, and the climate inside Wall Rose is vastly different from that inside Wall Maria, becoming increasingly cold. This is mainly due to the significant increase in altitude; the higher the altitude, the colder the climate.
Their journey took them through the Wall of Sheena and then northwards.
"Should industrial cities continue to move forward?"
Corina's voice was very weak.
Her face was still deathly pale, though it was a little better than before. Now that they were setting off again, not only Corinna, but also Senovon and Sorum didn't look well; they were all experiencing motion sickness.
