"What?"

"I'm considering whether to launch another expedition. After all, last time... I had a feeling we were just one step away from the truth. If the giants hadn't suddenly attacked, we might have actually found a way to kill them."

"Just one step away..."

Lin Yan repeated it.

indeed.

Even without Lin Yan's intervention, Anheir witnessed the Titan's death during the Survey Corps' expedition. Lin Yan deduced that Anheir ultimately discovered the Titan's secret and subsequently improved the 3D Maneuver Gear.

Regardless of the circumstances, Anheuser-Busch was a man who changed history.

Now that Lin Yan has taken Anhai's place, he is about to become the one who changes history. This world is not the world he knows, and Anhai is not the person he knows. Herfee Bickel looked at the silent Lin Yan without uttering a sound.

"If I find out the reason why the giants died, we can find a way to kill them, and then...maybe so many people won't die in the future."

Lin Yan muttered to himself.

Herfeld Bickel looked at Lin Yan.

From his joining the Survey Corps to its later development and expansion, including those who aspired to join, their passion and fervor are still vivid in our minds. They were all young, true warriors who wanted to protect their homeland.

Later, many of them died during the expedition.

The deaths of those people were all tragic.

Some were torn apart by the giants, some were bitten off, some had their intestines ruptured and their blood flowed everywhere... and some had their heads bitten off.

They witnessed the death of their companions time and time again, and then one day they faced the same death themselves.

Herfeld Bickel sighed.

"If you can really find a way to kill the Titans, you will be a benefactor to our Survey Corps. If you ever need anything in the future, I will go through fire and water for you."

His tone was very heavy.

What his eyes revealed was an incomparably resolute will.

He, Herfeh Bickel, was determined to find a way to kill the giants, to completely expel and slaughter them, and to avenge his fallen brothers.

This is even more related to the life and death of humankind.

Lin Yan pondered for a moment.

"If I say it, I will definitely do it."

"I believe you."

Herfee Bickel looked at Lin Yan with great satisfaction, "Heroes have always emerged from among the young. You will surely shine in this era."

This rigid and extremely strict captain of the Survey Corps.

I have never praised anyone.

However, he received praise from Lin Yan several times.

Herfeld Bickel did indeed have a special regard for Lin Yan. He has always been someone who values ​​talent and had noticed Lin Yan a long time ago.

The more young people like this there are, the more hope there is for the world.

"You may not understand how I feel, but I still believe you can find the secret of the giants, and we will no longer be the only ones being slaughtered."

Herfeh Bickel told Lin Yan a lot about the Survey Corps, including some secrets unknown to outsiders.

"Alright, I won't bother you any longer."

After rambling on for two hours, the Survey Corps commander finally left, clearly quite troubled. The conservatives, determined to eliminate the Survey Corps, must have exerted pressure on him in many ways.

……

Lin Yan, who had been engrossed in his research, was standing at the main entrance of the "Wall of Mary".

No matter when you see it, this wall is always so magnificent.

Unlike the skyscrapers of his world, these primitively built walls are even more awe-inspiring.

Rather than buildings constructed from reinforced concrete.

It truly is a wall forged by giants.

King Karl led a portion of the people to relocate to Paradis Island, where high walls had already been built. The island's walls were entirely formed by the mindless Colossal Titans controlled by the Founding Titan.

And this Karl King is Karl Fritz, the holder of the power of the Founding Titan.

A century ago, he led a group of Eldians to live in seclusion on Paradis Island, and was the founder of the island's three city walls.

A hundred years ago, Marleyan hero Horus took advantage of the "Great Titan War" during the infighting among the eight great Titan families of Eldia.

Together with the Tybalt family of the Warhammer Titans, they defeated Karl Fritz, the 145th Eldian King, liberating Marley and the world from the rule of the Eldian Empire, which had enslaved them for thousands of years. They also successfully turned seven Titans against the Eldians. Karl Fritz then led a portion of the Eldian people to Paradis Island, where they built three walls to isolate themselves from the world.

And it left a threat to the outside world.

"From this day forward, if anyone dares to interfere with us again, we will command the millions of giants within the walls to trample everything in the world!"

At this moment, Lin Yan looked at the Wall of Mary once again.

Not long ago, giants attacked, turning this city into a living hell.

But now.

People were still bustling about.

They live quietly in this place.

The cruelty of this world is far greater than those inside the walls can imagine; it is the greed, desire, and the terrifying darkness of human nature.

At this moment, Lin Yan was wearing the uniform of the Survey Corps.

This can be considered a special case.

He arrived at the arrow tower alone, where the soldiers even approached him, wanting to ask about his expedition. After all, Lin Yan was the only person who hadn't been a member of the Survey Corps and had returned unharmed, so many people were naturally curious about it.

But Lin Yan remained so indifferent.

I believe that soon no one will deliberately try to chat up Lin Yan anymore.

Maria was also inside the arrow tower at that moment. She looked out the wall and said, "Lin Yan, thank you. If it weren't for you, Solum probably wouldn't have been able to come back."

“When I saw Black Star, I was actually really scared, scared that you and Sorum would never come back.”

Maria shed tears.

Her tears were tears of fear, but also tears of joy.

“Lin Yan, although Solum has joined the garrison, you…”

"You're not going to join the Survey Corps, are you? Or will you continue to participate in the expeditions?"

Maria hesitated for a moment before asking the question.

Maria used to wait anxiously for Solum's return time and time again. Every time the Survey Corps returned from an expedition, Maria waited with trepidation.

Now, she no longer has to live in fear for Sorum.

why?

Why was Lin Yan chosen this time?

This person, Maria's childhood sweetheart and someone she cherishes dearly, is now about to embark on the same path that Sorum once walked.

Why?.

Maria asked herself the same question over and over again.

But there has never been an answer.

Maria had asked Solum about it before, but Solum gave her a smile that Maria couldn't understand and said something.

"We should support Lin Yan, whatever decision he makes."

Maria pondered these words for a long time.

She remained within the walls, while Solum repeatedly participated in expeditions beyond them, witnessing only the cruelest of worlds. What experiences allowed Solum to speak so calmly, even with a slight smile, about those words?

Does Sorum really not care about Lin Yan, his friend?

No.

Maria understood Solum's temperament.

He was decisive in his actions, but also a kind-hearted person.

She was particularly concerned about Lin Yan's affairs, and the two would often chat about their childhood. As a child, Lin Yan was frail and sickly, and even more timid than most girls. Once, she was so frightened by a mouse that she jumped up and down in terror.

But now.

Lin Yan is no longer the coward from my childhood memories.

He was a true man of seven feet tall.

And he's grown up a lot in recent years, becoming much more handsome.

He was completely different from the Lin Yan of his childhood.

His fair and smooth face revealed a sharp and cold handsomeness; his thick eyebrows rebelliously arched slightly upwards, and beneath his long, slightly curled eyelashes, his dark and deep icy eyes appeared wild, unrestrained, and alluringly sexy.

With a straight, prominent nose and lips as pink as rose petals, his sculpted features were strikingly handsome, exuding an aura of supreme authority. A carefree and unrestrained smile played on his wicked yet beautiful face.

Maria also knew that Corina liked Lin Yan.

This is understandable; it's normal for girls to develop feelings for someone when they reach a certain age.

Lin Yan stood on the arrow tower, looking into the distance.

He didn't find a single giant, even though he knew who those giants were.

They've always coveted this place.

They are the demons hiding in the darkness.

He only had one thought in mind—to eat people!

"Not long ago, I was still outside the walls, fighting against the giants... and so many people are now forever trapped in the world outside the walls."

Lin Yan did not know what fear was.

But they knew that what others saw as fear was, in the final moments, the sight of hell for the dead soldiers.

Lin Yan understood why the Survey Corps leader wanted to conduct another investigation outside the walls. His intentions were good, but he was inevitably somewhat impatient for quick results.

Maria said softly.

"Even so, do you still want to go to the world outside the wall again?"

"Everyone has their own choices. The key is to ask yourself if this is what you really want. If it is, then you should stick to it and not change because of what other people think, right?"

Lin Yan gave a vague answer.

He certainly knew Maria's intentions, and he also knew that Maria was a clever woman. She was a very thoughtful person at heart, naturally intelligent and beautiful inside and out.

but……

Some things are absolutely forbidden to be said.

Maria's gaze fell upon the area outside the city walls. Only at this moment could those inside the walls sense the atmosphere outside. Even the wind blowing in from outside seemed different.

It was a dry wind.

Yet it carries a sense of freedom.

Even more tragically, many of them had never even been on the city walls, let alone known what it was like from the outside. Despite this, they willingly remained within the walls, kept like livestock.

What we lost was not just freedom, but dignity.

Maria's gaze returned to the person beside her, a hint of confusion in her voice.
