The three city walls are all fifty meters high, and there are ten meters underground. They can be said to be solid and impregnable. Except for super giants, it is difficult for other giants to decisively destroy the city walls.
Once the city wall is destroyed, it is difficult to repair it with human strength alone. Therefore, the problem of recapturing Maria's wall is not only the threat of giants, but also the repair of the hole.
So Duran proposed the concept of a mobile city wall, but what materials are used to make the mobile city wall? Since it is to be moved, it must not be too heavy, so it must not be too high or too thick. But as a city wall to resist giants, it must not be high or thick.
It's very contradictory to not be able to live with giants.
Giant-like heights range from two meters to sixty meters, and the most common one is about ten meters. Therefore, a mobile city wall must be at least ten meters high, and it will naturally not be too light. If it is not light, it cannot be said to be mobile.
In short, the concept of moving the city wall is quite unreasonable.
“Aren’t there giant trees in this world? Those trees are generally sixty, seventy or even nearly a hundred meters tall,” Duran said.
Mikasa nodded: "Do we need to cut down these big trees to make city walls? They are too heavy and cannot be moved at all."
Dulan smiled and said: "The big trees themselves are very good city walls. As long as they are moved, can they become a city wall?"
"Move the big tree?" Mikasa immediately thought that this was indeed a good idea: "If the big trees become tree people, they can indeed become walking city walls." She knew that it would be difficult for Duran to let the big trees rise by themselves and walk for two days.
It is completely easy to move. In this way, there is a mobile city wall, and there is no need to re-develop any new materials. It just makes the existing forest gain wisdom, and does not add any black technology.
"That's right, as long as the big tree moves, it becomes a moving city wall, which can resist giants." "And the memories of people in this country have been tampered with, and history only records that within a hundred years, they were sealed behind the city wall.
"We know very little about what happened before the city wall was erected. Only a few books record that the outside world includes seas, mountains, and deserts. Since they have very little memory, the tree people can also be assumed to be forgotten existences."
Mikasa has no objection at all: "Then when they go on an expedition, use trees to protect them."
That’s it.
Expeditions are unavoidable, and the top management must let everyone see that they are already doing something, otherwise dissatisfaction will continue to come back to bite the top management. Although there is no safety problem due to the high wall blocking it, it will affect making money.
The top management of Eldia is relatively complex. In addition to the supreme commander, there is also a mysterious top leader, the Rais noble. An iron-clad noble and a smooth commander, the Rais nobles are a lineage that has never existed since the establishment of the empire.
Change, even now, is still behind the scenes that affects the direction of the empire.
As for the commander-in-chief, there are also fake kings, other radical and conservative parties, or religious groups, etc. can all change at any time. Only the Rais nobles will never change, because the Rais nobles rely on blood.
Everlasting.
Now that these high-level officials want to stabilize the wall, they can only divert the contradictions and organize the people of Wall Maria to go out and die. This way, the population can be reduced at a low cost, and the remaining people can be satisfied.
The army was formed, but its equipment was mediocre. There were very few muskets and cannons. Many people could only get one sword. These swords may be older than the soldiers, maybe fifty or sixty years old.
Because the army was equipped with long swords fifty or sixty years ago. At that time, there was no three-dimensional maneuverability, no black gold bamboo blades, only ordinary swords. All these stocks were taken out and handed over to the army for them to attack.
An expedition with such crude equipment and no tactics is a way to die.
Two months after the fall of Wall Maria, the expedition set off. This was the largest expedition in a century, and it would also be the most brutal.
The city gates were opened, and the main road was crowded with onlookers watching the army leave the city.
The cannons on the city wall are on guard. If a giant is found approaching the city gate, they will fire immediately. There are soldiers from the garrison on the city wall. If a giant appears below, they will also provide support to ensure that the army will not be attacked by the giant before leaving the barbican city.
.
Some people are cheering, and some are watching indifferently. People's joys and sorrows are not the same. Although they stand in the same urn city, everyone's thoughts are different.
Duran and Mikasa discovered the Allen trio. They now rely on doing odd jobs for some food. Because there are veterans from the garrison regiment to take care of them, there is no danger of life. However, these three guys are not obedient people and will get into trouble from time to time.
, and veterans are needed to help deal with it.
The trio of them is often like this. Armin is bullied, Eren roars when he sees injustice, rushes forward without looking at the situation between the enemy and ourselves, and is beaten by a group of people, and then Mikasa comes on the stage to deal a wave of damage to one enemy. It belongs to Armin.
A mode in which monsters are activated, Eren takes charge, and Mikasa outputs.
This is basically the case every time they fight. At this time, the three of them are also looking forward to the victory of the Legion and the retaking of Wall Maria.
After all the troops left the city and the city gates were closed, there were still people who were unwilling to leave for a long time. They wanted to stay where they were and wait for the good news of victory.
However, the results of the expedition will not be so quick, at least it will have to wait until after lunch. After all, the giants have to wait for lunch before attacking humans, and the winner will not be decided so quickly.
“Based on the previous expedition times of the Survey Corps, generally speaking, it’s pretty good that the expedition can last for half a day.” Duran said to a stern uncle beside him: “Do you think so, Doctor Yeager?”
The uncle was stunned and couldn't help but look at the person behind him. He knew it was Dulan, a militiaman who performed well when Wall Maria was breached. Duran was a hero to the refugees in the past two months. He provided many jobs and
resources, but there are rumors that he and Red Meteor are accomplices and plan many criminal activities together.
Why did he know him and why did he talk to him? Yeager was Allen's father. He had never looked for his son in two months, but today he suddenly appeared in the crowd watching the expedition. He seemed to have something.
What purpose.
"Don't be so afraid, I won't hurt you." Dulan said, "Follow me."
Yeager wanted to run away, but after thinking about it, he followed Dulan to a secluded place.
“What do you want from me?”
Duran looked at Yeager and asked: "I didn't expect that a sinner in Marais would marry a wife and have children in Eldia. It's really amazing. But it's been ten years since you became a giant, and you don't have much time.
You can live. What do you want to do now? Pass the giant's power to your son?"
Yeager thumped and immediately prepared for battle. If that didn't work, he would even turn into a giant to defeat the opponent, because Yeager knew that the opponent was likely to be a Marais.
"who are you?"
“I am your old friend.” In another giant world, Duran and Yeager were indeed old friends. They discussed demolishing the wall together in the tavern.
