"Mikasa, look, this time the Survey Corps is stronger than what we saw three years ago! They all look very energetic!"
Eren seemed very excited. He had a dream of pursuing freedom for a long time. He was unwilling to stay in this huge cage and wanted to break through it to pursue his freedom!
The Survey Corps is the only group of people who can step out of the city wall and enter the outside world, so he had been determined to join the Survey Corps since he was a child!
After the giant attack three years ago, after witnessing the destruction of his hometown and the scene of his mother being killed and eaten by a titan, his hatred for the titans reached an indescribable level!
Therefore, his desire to join the Survey Corps became more urgent. He wanted revenge. Only by joining the Survey Corps could he have such an opportunity!
So every moment, Ryo practiced desperately, just wanting to join the Survey Corps one day!
At this time, after witnessing the heroic figures of the members of the Survey Corps, especially the heroic figure of Captain Levi, who was called the strongest soldier, Ryo's heart surged with excitement!
"Well, this time there are a lot more people than before!" Mikasa nodded.
The scale of the Survey Corps was much larger now.
The Survey Corps they saw in the Shiganshina District of Wall Maria three years ago was much smaller than today's Survey Corps.
That was also the first time they saw the Survey Corps.
Seeing the Wings of Freedom of the Survey Corps, Ryo seemed very excited.
However, when the Survey Corps came back that time, they suffered heavy casualties and the morale of the entire Corps was very poor.
Therefore, what they saw was not the best Survey Corps!
Today, Ryo was very satisfied to see the high morale and majestic appearance of the Survey Corps!
"I heard that the Supreme Commander has allocated funds specifically for them and transferred a lot of manpower from the other two major corps to the Survey Corps. This is all in preparation for retaking Wall Maria. If the operation is successful, maybe we can return to our original hometown!" Ryo yearned for every tree and grass in his hometown, his old house. At this time, the house had been destroyed, but his memories remained, and they had not left at all!
"Ryo."
Mikasa looked at him worriedly, afraid that he would remember the painful things that happened to him!

"Stupid, if this thing is too heavy, just let someone else move it, such as a handsome and strong man like me, and you can pick some simple ones for yourself!"
Ryo grabbed the big box that Krista was holding and lifted it up with one hand.
The box probably contained all folding knives. The weapon reserves of the Survey Corps were very sufficient, and other supplies, such as gas, were also very rich!
This was mainly because when they went out to fight, unlike the Garrison Corps that had a central control room to replenish on the spot, their things could not be replenished on-site, and they had to carry everything themselves.
The wooden box that Krista held contained stacks of folding knives.
These steel swords were very sharp and could easily cut through the muscles on the back of a titan's neck, causing a fatal blow to them.
However, this thing wasn't completely without weaknesses.
Its blade was relatively brittle.
The blade was weak and could break easily.
To reduce the weight and make it easier to carry, the blade was relatively thin.
Therefore, when using it, it was easy to break, forming a gap or a rolled blade.
In such cases, it needed to be replaced frequently!
Generally, a soldier needed to prepare two sets of spare weapon boxes, each equipped with five pairs of blades. After use, the old blade could be discarded and replaced with a new one by simply opening the fixing device of the handle!
There were about four or five such weapon boxes in this wooden box. Ryo felt it and found that the weight was about thirty pounds, which was still very heavy!
Krista had not grown up yet. For her height, it was of course very difficult to carry such things!
"Hehe, it's okay. If I go a little slower, I can still carry it!" Krista took out a handkerchief and wiped Ryo's sweat. Ryo had been working for a long time. The weather was quite hot, so he sweated a lot and had a stinky smell!
"Stop it, it's itchy, I can just wipe it with my sleeve. If you dirty your handkerchief, you'll have to wash it yourself later!" Ryo turned his head. He was sweating, and with the dust in the air, the sweat on his head was quite dirty. Krista had mysophobia, and her handkerchiefs were always very clean. If her handkerchief got dirty, she'd have to spend time washing it herself. It was better for Ryo to wipe it with his sleeve, as he would have to wash his clothes later anyway!
"It's okay. If you're willing, just let me wipe it for you! Otherwise, I'll seem useless!" Krista stood on tiptoes, insisting on helping Ryo wipe the sweat off. Ryo had no choice but to bend his knees slightly and lower his body to avoid Krista's tiptoeing, which was very strenuous.
Seeing that he was so obedient, Krista happily helped him wipe it clean carefully, then stood on tiptoes and kissed him on the face!
Ryo was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, Krista had already run away with a red face!
Ryo shook his head. This girl, he must kiss her back next time, otherwise, he'd suffer a great loss!
"Hey, kids nowadays are so precocious! The world is going downhill!"
Ryo heard the voice and turned his head to see four people riding horses passing by him, and a man was still talking to his companions. Obviously, the man who just spoke was the one who always liked to imitate Captain Levi and the one who liked to bite his tongue when talking on horseback!
"Levi's Squad?"
Ryo didn't expect to meet them here. What a coincidence!
This group of people was none other than the members of Levi's Squad. The guy who just spoke was the one who always liked to imitate Captain Levi!
