At the same time, Commander Pixis and Commander Erwin Smith of the Survey Corps walked forward together, and Commander Erwin spoke up.

This meeting was initiated by Commander Pixis.

And Erwin did not refuse.

But doubts still lingered.

He was testing Commander Pixis's attitude.

“Commander Pixis, as the commander of the garrison, it might be inappropriate for some people to have a private meeting with a mere commander of the Survey Corps!”

"He's just as rigid as the rumors say."

Within the government, the real power didn't lie with the king, but with those four people. Rhodes's previous power had actually been usurped; no, it should be said that this pseudo-king was a puppet from the very beginning.

In addition, there is a Presidential Bureau. The Presidential Bureau is an agency spanning both the military and the government, whose main responsibility is to organize the political work of the entire military.

In addition, the president also serves as a judge in the military tribunal inside the wall.

In reality, the president only commands three regiments: the Military Police, the Survey Corps, and the Garrison Corps. Crucially, the Military Police regiment is not the same as the Central Military Police. The Central Military Police are directly subordinate to the higher command and Rhodes. Therefore, besides the four people around Rhodes, the only truly powerful figure is the president—Darris Thackeray.

In order to balance the power in this world, the most dangerous thing is generally the secret alliance between the Survey Corps and the Garrison Corps.

Then the military police corps serving the central government and the central military police corps would probably be unable to compete with them.

It threatens the interests of certain people.

This is similar to the situation under a constitutional monarchy, where the emperor fears warlord separatism and is most afraid of them uniting to cause chaos.

"It's nothing, just a chance encounter during my morning walk."

Commander Pixis has always been an eccentric and unconventional person. He can despise nobles and ignore those useless rules.

"Our conversation was just casual chatter during a walk."

"The Military Police seem to have noticed that guy too, you know? Not only that, they also want to take Alan Yeager away, this..."

"Are you aware of this matter?" Commander Pixis walked ahead, his expression calm and composed.

Behind him, Alvin Smith maintained a solemn expression.

Although Commander Erwin was rigid in personality, one could also say he was fair and selfless. Moreover, Commander Erwin was indeed a talented individual; his combat strategies were those of a top-notch commander.

He has always commanded the Survey Corps, leading numerous soldiers who have risked their lives for the future of humanity.

For the survival of all humanity within the walls, he could choose to sacrifice the lives of 100 comrades. He is someone who can give up the most important things. Although he seems cold and ruthless, it is precisely because of this that he can be deeply trusted by his subordinates, led by Levi.

He always puts the big picture first, even at the cost of sacrificing his subordinates for victory.

During the first expedition outside the walls, Eren and others were led as bait to lure out the Female Titan. They managed to capture her alive at the cost of a few lives. Unfortunately, they did not expect that the Female Titan could summon other Titans to eat them, which led to the failure of the capture operation.

Later, when the Survey Corps was at its wits' end, they adopted Armin's strategy, exposed the Female Titan's true identity, and successfully captured her, turning the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.

"Yes, I received the notification. I heard that a review will be held for this matter."

They were on the city wall.

The city wall is the largest barrier in the world, protecting humanity for centuries.

Although hidden within these walls is a truth concealed from all humanity within them, that is, the walls themselves are also constructed of giants.

but--

The city wall is still very important.

At this moment, Commander Pixis strode forward.

"The decision-making power has been delegated to Thackeray."

"What happens to that guy later will probably be related to Thackeray's decisions, but it's probably beyond Thackeray's control to do what he does."

“Thakree…is that President Darius Thackeray?”

Erwin, a member of the Survey Corps, seems to be unaware of this matter.

“The Military Police, the Garrison Corps, the Survey Corps… the person who commands three legions… his judgment is based on only one criterion: whether it is beneficial or harmful to humanity. If he believes that the harm outweighs the benefit, then he will not hesitate to execute Alan Yeager. But for Lin Yan, it is probably not so simple.”

"I'm afraid he'll be executed on the spot. I don't want Allen to die so easily."

"But unfortunately, there are far too many people in our garrison who fear Eren's power... All I can do in this matter is to disagree with the Military Police."

Commander Pixis took a sip of his drink.

He sees things very clearly.

Even though Commander Pixis is the commander of the garrison regiment, and he doesn't have absolute authority, the emotions of the garrison soldiers still need to be taken into account.

He held Commander Erwin of the Survey Corps in high regard.

He was respected by the soldiers.

"Is there any chance of winning?"

"No, but I have a plan. If all else fails, that person is probably the most crucial one in resolving this matter, and that person..."

“That man is highly respected among the residents. If he were to step forward, many residents would surely stand up to support him.”

Commander Pixis leisurely took a sip of his drink. This strange old man had always been fond of alcohol, and even in times of crisis, he would leisurely take a sip.

The same applies now.

He nodded and said.

"That is indeed a good idea, but we should not use such radical methods unless absolutely necessary."

"That's right."

"Irwin Smith said with a solemn expression."

Commander Pixis walked away into the distance, waving his hand and saying, "It was a very pleasant conversation, Commander Smith."

The matter was delayed again and again.

Mikasa Ackerman was still somewhat worried. Even if she was spared the death penalty, she would likely suffer greatly. To Mikasa, Eren was like a younger brother who needed her care; he was family, her loved ones.

Inside the restaurant, opposite Mikasa was Armin, who looked worried.

The calmest and most composed person was Lin Yan.

"Are you sure everything's alright? I heard they're going to referee Allen."

"Ah."

"Do you have any information about this matter?"

"Ah."

Is he really safe?

"Ah."

"Is it really okay?"

"Ah."

Armin had been enduring it all, but he finally couldn't take the torment anymore. His appetite seemed poor, and he even appeared listless. He had always had a good relationship with Allen, especially since he had received a lot of care from Allen when they were children.

Even when someone picks a fight, Allen doesn't come out on top.

But he was Allen's best brother.

"Although your relationship with Allen is just so-so, for your aunt's sake, why don't you put in a little effort for Allen's sake? How about you just give me a little hint? You must know a lot about Allen, right?"

"Ah."

"This time it's about Eren's case, and the key person involved is the President... President Darius Thackeray. Besides that, the biggest threat is the Military Police, and that wooden-faced Commander of the Military Police, Neil Decker. This guy will either use Eren or get rid of him. As for Commander Pixis of the Garrison Regiment, he's an upright old man who won't support Neil Decker, and of course, he won't oppose him either. There's another key figure, no, two... one is Commander Erwin Smith of the Survey Corps, and the other is Levi Ackerman, whom the Survey Corps reveres. If they can't handle it, don't you still have me? Don't worry."

"This tastes good."

Lin Yan calmly took a bite of rice.

The food here was indeed tasteless, but I've slowly gotten used to it. Eating a proper meal in this world is a luxury, and glancing at Mikasa Ackerman beside me, I knew she was definitely not going to cook.

When he has time, he will treat himself to a good meal.

I remember in my original world, there were all sorts of delicious foods to choose from, and if I was too lazy to go out, I could order takeout. Even late at night, there were all kinds of food available—a can of beer, some barbecue, or spicy crayfish…

0423 Supreme Delight: A Feast for the Eyes [Please Subscribe]

That was truly a delicacy.

Spicy crayfish, also known as spicy crayfish, or simply spicy crayfish, is a popular dish served at night markets, food stalls, and hotels for the past decade. The main ingredients include crayfish and red bell peppers, while the seasonings include chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, and star anise.

Just thinking about those brightly colored, fragrant, crispy-shelled, and tender crayfish makes taking a bite feel incredibly satisfying.

That's the Jiangnan style; the crayfish is so fresh and spicy that you can't help but lick your fingers.

It's spicy and refreshing, making it irresistible.

Another sip of beer, especially an ice-cold one, is really refreshing.

Besides crayfish.

That barbecue was something Lin Yan thought about day and night.

There is a barbecue restaurant near Lin Yan's house.

He was not good-looking.

The location is not particularly advantageous either.

But it tastes just like the flavor I had when I was a child...

Each skewer of barbecue is made with plump and elastic meat, fatty but not greasy, oily but not watery, and has an enticing aroma after being cooked with scallions and ginger.

The grill grates are made of iron, which ensures the meat is heated evenly and retains its original flavor.

The first layer is salt, the second is cumin, and drizzling with meat oil makes the flavor even stronger. The third layer is fennel, which, along with the aroma of charcoal, elevates the meat. The fourth layer is chili powder, which is fiery and stimulating. Finally, a layer of sesame seeds is sprinkled on top, which, along with the meat oil, makes the ingredients more fragrant.

This method brings out the characteristics of the ingredients to the greatest extent.

Make the night even more beautiful.

Beef and mutton, raw tendons, cooked tendons, beef tendon, heart tubes, kidneys, spare ribs, chicken neck bones, and quail are all available. Add a pot of tripe, and then add dried tofu rolls wrapped in cilantro. Let them simmer and meld together on an alcohol burner, making your mouth water with the numbing spiciness.

……

Saliva was flowing wildly from his mouth. Lin Yan really couldn't think about these things anymore; he needed to deal with the immediate situation first.

Perhaps there are other delicacies in this world similar to crayfish.

However, meat is something that can be obtained.

We could have a barbecue another day.

barbecue?

crayfish?

"Hey, system, what kind of barbecue is it? What flavor of crayfish is it?"

"The crayfish are mixed flavors such as Thirteen Spices Crayfish, Spicy Crayfish, and Garlic Crayfish... The barbecue is Jiamusi barbecue, with beef and mutton, raw tendon, cooked tendon, beef tendon, heart tube, kidney, spare ribs, chicken neck bones, quail, etc., a total of 1,00 kinds."

"Not bad."

Lin Yan was very satisfied.

This was the most interesting sign-in ever. Before, every sign-in rewarded some ability, but this time it was food, exactly what Lin Yan wanted. It was like getting whatever he wanted—a pillow when he was sleepy, and delicious food when he was craving something.

This time, it's a double win.

"I'll give you a wonderful gift in a while; I'm sure you'll like it," Lin Yan said mysteriously to Mikasa.

Mikasa was not paying attention at this point.

It was just a fleeting moment of curiosity; the current situation is entirely under one person's control...
