but--

Whatever the truth of history may be.

Aside from the Survey Corps, no one has ever stepped out of that door.

So, are maps of the outside world important?

It doesn't matter to those who are unaware of the truth and want to remain hidden within the walls, nor to the monarchy that knows the secret but chooses to live a life of compromise.

However, for those who yearn for freedom...

For Wings of Freedom.

Particularly important.

"Yeah, it's important."

"why?"

"Didn't I tell you about the oasis?"

"Having said that..."

"Our focus is on mapping the South, that land we don't know, which may hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the giants."

"south?"

"Yes."

At that moment, Rosa interrupted their conversation.

"It is said that the giants came from the south, so the place where the secret of the giants can be traced should also be the south, right?"

"Perhaps we will see hordes of giants."

"It would be best to know how giants came to be."

"Oh I got it."

"Besides that, there is another important reason, which is crucial."

"what?"

"This expedition is the least dangerous one, after all, we new recruits are here, which is why it was arranged this way. It seems that the officers of the Survey Corps still care about us young people."

Upon hearing this, Cardina smiled meaningfully, though it was unclear whether it was out of helplessness or something else.

Despite his straightforward nature, Cardina also has aspects that are difficult to understand.

Rosa smiled too.

"So this is just...an internship?"

"practice?"

Rosa was slightly taken aback.

Although somewhat simplistic, it is quite apt. These students, graduating from training schools, haven't yet experienced the true trials of life; calling it an internship is quite accurate, although this internship still carries a certain degree of danger.

Alive.

Or die.

Both are possible.

Besides hoping for the protection of Lady Luck, all they can do is try their best and leave the rest to fate.

Joker became more vigilant.

They were only ten kilometers ahead when Lin Yan, who was at the front, tightened the reins and his tall warhorse suddenly stopped.

The entire team stopped moving forward.

"What's wrong?"

At the back of the column, Joker also sensed the danger. At that moment, a red signal flare exploded in mid-air. The warning from this red signal flare was so obvious that even a not-so-bright soldier could understand its meaning.

This is an alarm.

giant.

That's right, it's a giant.

Giants appeared.

The red signal flare is the red star, which signifies the appearance of giants. It's a warning, urging those who come later to prepare for battle or to retreat immediately. Joker watched intently as the blood-red smoke billowed into the air.

Then came three yellow signal flares.

The three yellow ones represent a giant who is three meters tall.

Cardina breathed a sigh of relief.

If it were just a single three-meter-tall Titan, the soldiers in the front ranks could easily handle it. Unless a large number of Titans appeared, there wouldn't be any casualties. After all, the Survey Corps' captain, Carlo Bickel, was in the front ranks, not to mention that other gentleman was also there to oversee things.

That three-meter giant probably doesn't know how...

Just die.

That was indeed the case; the three-meter giant died very simply, and Cardina even felt a little regretful, wishing he could have picked him up.

"Aren't you a little disappointed, and also want to see that giant?"

Rosa saw right through Cardina's thoughts.

She glared at him again.

"You shouldn't think like that. Our only mission this time is to get back alive. If we really encounter a large number of giants, I bet you'll be crying then."

"I won't cry."

"Yes, he was so scared that he couldn't even cry."

Although Rosa appears gentle, once she gets serious with Kadina, the kid won't get the better of her in a verbal exchange.

In fact, Lin Yan had a second refuge plan.

This situation applies when encountering a large number of Titans, whose mission is different this time, and who may avoid direct confrontation with the Titans.

That was to seek refuge in the nearby oasis.

Lin Yan gazed into the distance; the giant had clearly come from the southwest. Having slain one giant, would he encounter another? Even Lin Yan couldn't predict. Moreover, this giant he had slain was somewhat different from the previous ones.

This appears to be an elderly person.

He was hunched over, looking like he was already in his twilight years, but even such a giant possessed great strength, and...

This elderly giant runs incredibly fast; giants truly are a bunch of demons. A human of this age would probably be frail and unable to walk properly by now.

What Lin Yan was most concerned about was another signal flare that exploded in the distance.

It was a green signal flare.

He reined in his horse and gazed into the distance.

"Green Star? Why would it be..."

Carlo Bickel was also puzzled, his brows furrowed deeply. The "Green Star" signified an unusual situation.

An unusual situation means that something strange and unmanageable has happened. So what exactly happened?

"That's Class Seven."

Lin Yan pinpointed the location immediately.

Joker also witnessed this scene. He looked at one of the students from Class 7 in surprise. It was Shabi. He screamed and ran wildly into the distance. In the distance, there was a blurry figure. It was the figure of the giant that no one had noticed.

Other giants appeared.

At that moment, the red star bloomed in the sky like a crimson flower, a red blossom representing blood and death. The blooming of the red star meant that the giant had reappeared. Perhaps it was because visibility was indeed poor in the rain.

That's why they didn't notice the giant's appearance. Shapi was the first to notice, but his behavior was too strange.

Why did we charge towards the giant?

When facing Titans, how could Shabi act like she was just going to fight in the street? Without any strategy, she was simply charging in with brute force. If the opponent were also human, there would likely be no danger, but the opponent was a Titan capable of crushing a human with a single stomp—that would be suicide.

Suicide attack.

Does he really not want to live anymore?

You'll die if this continues.

At that moment, this was the thought that popped into Juke's mind. Let alone those giants who were seven or eight meters or even more than ten meters tall, even giants who were three or five meters tall could not be dealt with by a person of Shabi's size by one person alone.

Even he, Joker, wasn't 100% certain.

Unless it's Lin Yan.

How to do it?

How to do.

Rosa was also thrown into disarray, unsure of what to do. If they ignored the situation, Shabi would truly die. However, she was responsible for the entire team and couldn't let the death of one person lead to the demise of the members of the Tenth Squad.

Then she has failed in her duty.

There is only one way out now, and that is for her to put herself in danger.

As she was about to give Cardina some instructions, Joker had already rushed out. He didn't care about rules like "no solo action" and even if the Survey Corps' captain, Carlo Bickel, wanted to punish him, he would still keep his oath.

The vows he made to Xia Lulu were still ringing in his ears. How could Qiu Keluo, a passionate young man, so easily break his promise to her?

There are things more important than life.

That was the vow of our benefactor.

"Juclo, have you forgotten the captain's and the master's orders? How dare you abandon your post? Come back here!! Come back!!! Did you hear me, Juclo? I'm your squad leader..."

0247 Promise [Please Subscribe]

"I promised her."

Joker galloped away, his voice carried on the wind. He had promised Sharlulu he would save Shabi in his moment of life or death. If Shabi were to die so easily, it would be a wound that Sharlulu would never heal.

Xia Lulu will cry.

No.

This is absolutely not possible.

The moment Xia Lulu appeared and saved his heart, Juke Luo had already decided that she was his sister. He, Juke Luo, would protect his sister and prevent her from being harmed, even at the cost of his life.

No matter how despicable Xia Bi is, he is still Xia Lulu's only close relative.

And what if Shabi were eaten by a giant?

That's such a tragic way to die. Joker always believed he was a powerful man, and since he had power, he should go all out. Those without the power to protect them were better off turning tail and shooting, while Joker looked at his 3D Maneuver Gear.

He is not a powerless person.

The other classes also noticed the giant's approach. They weren't cowards, and besides, Joker had already charged forward; they had no reason to back down. The sound of hooves rose behind Joker, growing louder and louder.

Horse hooves pounded the ground.

The earth seemed to tremble.

These soldiers would never stand by and watch their comrades be devoured by giants; that was the only thing they would absolutely not allow.

Giants are heaven and earth.

"kill!"

Lin Yan's voice resounded throughout the sky.

He watched from afar as these passionate young men galloped on horseback, their eyes filled with anger, hatred, and even more so, flames of passion. A single spark can start a prairie fire, and this flame was bound to bring about a new transformation to the world.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Joker knew he wasn't alone.
