"The giants on the island were born here," Hanji murmured, "Then the other side is the sea."

"Go over there and have a look, Ymir." Ian heard the sound of the tide.

Ymir carried everyone around the high platform.

What comes into view is the endless sea.

The sound of the tide is coming, the vast sea surface reflects the moonlight, the waves are sparkling, the salty sea breeze blows on the face, the waves wash away the white foam, one wave after another, back and forth on the beach.

"The businessman has exhausted all the salt water lakes in his life," Allen said to himself.

This is what Armin read in a book. The book talks about the sea, volcanoes, and all kinds of strange landscapes that people living in walls cannot imagine.

At this moment, the sea is right in front of Allen's eyes.

Everyone jumped off Ymir's back, like children, cautiously touching the sea water.

Hanji squatted down, dipped his fingers into a little bit of seawater, licked it, and shouted, "Ugh, it's so salty!"

"Idiot! Be careful! It's poisonous!" Levi scolded. He couldn't help but take off his shoes and immersed his feet in the sea water. He picked up a piece of conch with curiosity in his eyes.

Ian opened his arms and felt the sea breeze.

This is the second time he has seen the sea, if only in this life, it is the first time.

The vastness of the sea would shock him no matter how many times he looked at it, making him clearly aware of his own insignificance.

Ymir faced the sea and stared quietly, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart at the moment.

"Is there Marais on the other side of the sea?" Erwin calmly stared at the sea at the end.

He has found the truth of the world.

Humanity was not extinct, and the giants did not eat all the humans outside the wall.

It's ironic to say that all the giants killed by the Survey Corps over the years were fellow Eldians.

"Hannis, what do you think of Marais?" Erwin asked Hannis beside him.

"Captain, I don't have any opinions." Hannis said calmly: "I just followed the guidance and came here."

There didn't seem to be any confusion in his eyes, he just kept waiting behind Ian.

"Ian, what do you think?" Erwin looked at Ian.

"Captain Erwin, why do you think Marley keeps turning Eldians into giants and releasing them to Parady Island? Is it just because of discrimination?" Ian and Erwin looked at each other.

Erwin was silent. As the commander of the Survey Corps, of course he could quickly analyze the purpose of this approach.

The Unsullied Titans regard humans as their enemies. According to Grisha Yeager's notes, there is even such a thing as a "Giant Bomb" in Marais.

Marley used the Eldians as weapons in the war.

The Marais used airships to transport the Eldians who triggered the law into the sky, injected them with medicine, and then dropped them as bombs. The Eldians who turned into giants would first be the first wave of impact, bombarding them. In the enemy's city, the surviving giants massacred the surrounding humans based on instinct.

The Marais use the Eldians as weapons.

In this way, it can well explain why they wanted to cross the entire ocean and release giants to Parade Island:

——To restrain the Eldians within the wall.

On the other side of the sea is the Marais, and the Marais are their enemies.

"The super giant, the armored giant, the female giant, and the giant power inherited by Ymir are already four of the seven giant powers that Marais possesses." Ian said softly: "Marais People rely on the power of giants to continuously gain benefits in wars, and the power of giants is a strategic resource for them."

"They sent four giants to our land with only one purpose: they were not satisfied with the power of the seven giants, and were so greedy that they wanted to take away the power of the ancestor giants."

"As for why they wanted to take away the Ancestral Titan, there may be many reasons. Maybe they felt that the Ancestral Titan would threaten their status as a great power. Maybe the weapons from the outside world had developed to the point where even the giants could fight against them. In order to cope with the enemy, they had to take away The ancestral giant.”

"No matter what the reason is, once our ancestor is taken away by the Marais, our fate will definitely become very tragic."

Erwin thought of Grisha's sister, an Eldian, who had no human rights at all in the Marley territory.

"Is there an enemy on the other side of the sea?" Erwin sighed.

"Captain, are you willing to believe me?" Ian asked.

"Do you think I don't trust you enough?" Erwin said, "I have said a lot for you about the giantess incident."

"It's not enough." Ian shook his head: "Marais has science and technology that we can't reach now, but I have a way to defeat the enemies across the sea so that they don't dare to offend our land anymore. For this, I need trust. and help.”

Ian held out his hand.

The long sound of the ocean waves echoed in Erwin's ears, and he looked at the calloused right hand.

Ian's hands were very rough, with scars and burns in many places. They were the hands of a twelve-year-old child.

He often worked in the factory and stayed up late. Although he had a lot of power, in Erwin's impression, he never seemed to use his power to seek benefits for himself.

He didn't live in a big house, hire a young and beautiful maid, or hold extravagant banquets. Instead, he worked harder and harder and was covered in dust.

How to judge whether a person is trustworthy?

Listen to rumors, rely on feelings, or... look at what he has done.

Erwin recounted in his mind what Ian had done, and in the end the people who benefited were the people of this land.

"I have a dream."

It was a dream that shone like gold.

Ian, did you really not lie to me that day?

But okay, I have seen the truth of the world. I have traveled a long way in the first half of my life. It seems that it is not a bad thing to hear you talk about how to go in the future.

Erwin exhaled a breath and held the rough right hand.

"May your dreams come true."

"Thank you." Ian smiled.

Before dawn, everyone turned back and returned to Shiganshina District.

The outer door was repaired very successfully. In the early morning, the cement completed its final setting. The giant could no longer break into the wall. The source was cut off.

The repair work on the inner door was completed the next day, and like the outer door, Allen acted as the main force.

On this day, Allen said that he saw part of his father's memory, Dana Freeze. He described the appearance of the royal giant in detail, and the artist in the team drew the appearance.

Supplies were delivered on the fourth day of repairs at the inner gate, including reports on food, ammunition, and the number of giants cleared at each outpost these days.

During the expedition's return journey, Dana Freeze's portraits were distributed to various outposts and the four special zones of Rose's Wall.

On the eighth day of the return journey, Ian got a special news.

In the Eubitea area of ​​​​the Wall of Rose, it is suspected that a "blond female giant with a smiling face" was found in the portrait.
