moment.
A strong gust of wind swept in.
The strong wind nearly knocked Joker over, but he managed to steady himself and look into the distance.
The soldiers all joined the battle.
The soldiers imitated Lin Yan's actions, following behind him and watching the distance warily, wondering if any more giants would attack. Lin Yan, meanwhile, listened intently to the surrounding sounds, and even Carlo Bickel dared not disturb him.
Lin Yan will be the first to notice the giant's attack.
Especially giants several kilometers away.
He was the only one who could perceive it.
Even someone as naturally perceptive as Qiu Keluo didn't seem to be as capable as Lin Yan, so he followed behind Lin Yan.
"Formation B".
At Lin Yan's command, they immediately changed formation. This reduced the number of people on the perimeter, who were only responsible for guard duty, while the core area also followed the formation. This formation could minimize casualties.

"retreat."
Lin Yan listened carefully for a long time and discovered giants twenty kilometers away. There were many of them, and he could only deal with a limited number of them, which meant there would be a lot of casualties.
Those soldiers were all well-trained.
In the blink of an eye.
Lin Yan's orders spread to every corner, and the soldiers subconsciously obeyed them. Even Carlo Bickel, the captain of the Survey Corps and the overall commander of this expedition, also obeyed Lin Yan's orders.
"retreat."
"retreat."
"retreat."
.......
Retreating in formation ensures both speed and maximum safety during the process. This was the best plan Lin Yan had discussed with Carlo Bickel, the captain of the Survey Corps, before the expedition.
Although it was called a discussion.
Most of the suggestions came from Lin Yan.
Carlo Bickel's attitude towards Lin Yan also changed drastically, from initial disdain to shock, and then to admiration.
Now, Carlo Bickel has an idea.
That means he has to give up his position to Lin Yan. Carlo Bickel has always done his best for the development of the Survey Corps, but he also knows that his abilities are limited and that he will eventually run out of energy.
That day marked the turning point where the new generation surpasses the old.
Lin Yan gave Carlo Bickel a new hope—the hope of the new generation. Carlo Bickel was not a selfish person; he encountered many difficulties throughout the planning of the expedition, some of which remained unresolved until a month before the expedition began.
Carlo Bickel was also in a terrible predicament.
Lin Yan's appearance was a turning point.
He solved all of Carlo Bickel's problems.
Under Lin Yan's guidance, they navigated the journey without encountering any major dangers.
"We're almost at the main gate of the 'Wall of Mary'."
By this time, the sentries on the city wall had spotted them, so they opened the gate at the opportune moment. The sturdy city gate opened with a thunderous roar, a truly magnificent sight.
The survey team rode into the gate.
The door closed again.
The streets inside the city gates were bustling with crowds of citizens welcoming the Survey Corps.
Young people, the elderly, and children all cheered.
They were overjoyed.
We welcome the triumphant return of these heroes.
This grand scale was even more lively than those celebrations, and most importantly, the number of casualties was the lowest this time.
That tragic scene of entering the gate is no longer seen.
All the soldiers of the Survey Corps looked much more relaxed, thanks to Lin Yan's efforts; one man is worth a thousand soldiers.
Carlo Bickel understood this better than anyone else: the Survey Corps absolutely could not do without Lin Yan.
He already has an idea.
Whether Lin Yan will accept it seems to be a problem.
Meanwhile, Joker looked bewildered. Had he truly achieved his goal? After all, he had already encountered a giant.
0177 Do you also believe in fate? [Please subscribe]
"Have you fulfilled your wish?" The one speaking to Joker was Carlo Bickel, the captain of the Survey Corps.
When Joker arrived at the Survey Corps, Carlo Bickel already knew Joker's original purpose for wanting to participate in the expedition.
Joker was startled.
He turned to see Captain Carlo Bickel, his expression somewhat subtle. Carlo Bickel remained wary of Joker. Although he had been recommended by Mr. Lin Yan, Joker was still a man of unknown origin. He remembered a legendary son of a giant who also seemed to be named Joker.
"Anything gained?"
"Carlo Bickel asked."
Joker glanced around but didn't seem to see Charlene Inossio. Where had Charlene Inossio gone?
He spoke somewhat casually.
"I don't know, maybe yes, maybe no. As for the truth, I think I need to think about it carefully."
Search again.
Juclos saw Charlotte Inocesio in the distance, and opposite her was Lin Yan. Lin Yan was someone Charlotte Inocesio admired and respected. There's a saying: love arises without warning, and deepens with time. Love at first sight may be destiny, but deep, enduring love is not easy.
Charlene Inosecio is a young girl experiencing her first love.
"Thank you, Captain Carlo Bickel..."
"That's what Joker said."
He has proven that he is not the son of giants, wasn't that his original purpose? Has he achieved his goal?
He was very conflicted and confused.
What exactly is this feeling of goosebumps all over my body, and why does my back feel cold, as if a gust of wind has blown by?
A cold, damp wind.
What Jokero was perhaps hoping for was a radical transformation. He might not even be clear about what he wanted, and he felt a deep sense of loss. Perhaps it was because during this expedition, Lin Yan had saved his life once again. And yet, he had accomplished nothing.
Was his original purpose meaningless?
Then look at Charlulu Inosesio.
Charlene Inosecio smiled radiantly.
It must be said that this girl was truly beautiful, and Charlotte Inocesio's gaze never left Lin Yan. She looked at her beloved with such tenderness.
"Mr. Lin Yan, you're finally back."
"Yeah, I just went out for a walk."
Lin Yan sighed.
"However, the families of those soldiers who did not return must be heartbroken; perhaps that is fate."
Charlene Inosecio frowned as she looked at Lin Yan.
"Sir, do you also believe in fate?"
The concept of fate is subjective; some believe in it, others don't. Charlene Inosecio, in fact, was a believer in destiny; she had always believed in it. She was destined to be born into that family, destined to have a fate that disregarded her happiness.
however--
When Charlene Inosecio met Lin Yan.
Then everything changed, and Charlour Inosecio's world seemed to brighten up.

Charlotte Inosecio's world was changed because of Lin Yan.
"You must tell me about this expedition when you have time, okay, sir?" Charlene Inosecio looked at Lin Yan expectantly.
Lin Yan seemed to have seen Qiu Keluo as well.
"Alright, Xia Lulu, go check on Qiu Keluo. He's been quite frightened on this expedition. I want to go back and rest."
"Yes, sir, please get some rest."
Although Xia Lulu Inosecio was somewhat reluctant to part with him, she also didn't want Lin Yan to be too tired.
Meanwhile, Joker, who was some distance away, turned to look at his captain.
"We owe a great debt to the gentleman this time. If it weren't for him, we would probably have faced certain death."
"Yes."
Captain Carlo Bickel agreed with Joklo's statement.
"However, your performance was also good. With more training in the future, you will definitely become an outstanding soldier."
Carlo Bickel also spoke highly of Jocelöller.
Juclos was an excellent soldier, but he was just a soldier. As the saying goes, a bad soldier is a bad soldier, but a bad general makes a bad army. An army needs an excellent commander, who is the most important factor and the key to the survival of the unit.
Lin Yan's matter needs further consideration.
"Did you learn any martial arts before joining the Survey Corps?"
"No."
"Why are you going on this expedition?" Joker asked.
"In order to investigate the giants and learn their secrets, so as to find a way to defeat them," Carlo Bickel told the truth.
This was no secret; it was something the Survey Corps had been pursuing all along. It was a matter of life and death for humanity, and Carlo Bickel's lifelong goal. He sought not only better commanders, but also better soldiers.
“Next time, maybe next time we’ll unveil the mystery of the giants,” Carlo Bickel firmly believed.
In fact, the secret of the giants has been deliberately hidden by someone.
Those were the people in the king's government.
The giants are humans who were transformed from those inside the walls.
The king led his people to the island inside the walls and built three large walls.
The remaining Marleyans were controlled by their enemy, Marley, who injected spinal fluid into their bodies, transforming them into Pure Titans. The Marleyans could freely control these Titans to fight for them. Pure Titans were all transformed from their own kind within the walls. A Titan's weak point is the nape of its neck, because that's where the "host" resides.
The differences among giants will also lead to differences in their hosts.
The host of a Pure Titan will lose all human consciousness, while the host of one of the Nine Titans can retain human consciousness.
This is a world of difference.
Once a Pure Titan devours one of the Nine Titans, it inherits their power and becomes one of them. Ymir is an example of this, inheriting the power of the Female Titan, one of the Nine Titans. She wandered for many years, sleeping for an unknown number of years, living in a nightmare hell every day. When she returned to human form, she was almost moved to tears.
Therefore, Ymir's only goal is to live as a human being.
“You are truly great, to have gone to such lengths for humanity,” Joker said to Carlo Bickel, and he meant it sincerely.

Carlo Bickel suddenly looked into the distance and saw the military police. Why would the Survey Corps see the military police upon their return? There must be some hidden reason.
