A garrison point south of the city wall.
"Report to the squad leader!"
"What's going on?"
"Just now, there was a giant under the wall. It was behaving strangely and trying to climb up. I fired more than a dozen shells but couldn't hit it. It seemed to have self-awareness and fled backwards!"
As the young man finished speaking, a pair of big hands suddenly slapped him on the head.
"It hurts~"
"You can't hit the target, and you still have the nerve to complain? You're just a poor fighter, and you're blaming the giants for running? Climbing walls? Having self-awareness? You think I'll believe such a ridiculous excuse? I already taught you not to shake your hands when firing. You're treating those giants like pigs!"
"But..."
"But what? Go away now and don't disturb me while I'm drinking."
"yes..."
The young man was scolded and returned to the lonely cannon in a bad mood. He stared at the forest in the distance, still a little confused.
"Maybe, it's a freak..." he thought.
At this moment, in the forest, Jiang Luo slowly opened his eyes.
His body was still very hot and his wounds had almost healed.
When I woke up, the sun was setting and deep in the fiery sky, there was a deep helplessness.
Jiang Luo stood up and walked back along the way he came. He needed to return to his usual place before it got completely dark.
Because when darkness falls, his consciousness will become blurred and he will fall into a deep sleep.
This is the fatal weakness of being an innocent giant.
He looked back at Wall Maria and vowed to himself, "I will be back!"
Since we didn't defeat that young man today, I'm afraid the news that "there is a brainless giant climbing the wall" has spread, and the defense of the city wall must be strengthened.
"I have to change my approach~" Jiang Luo said secretly in his heart.
Before night fell, he returned to his "residence" again.
It was nominally a residence, but in reality it was just a straw nest. He found a tree with lush branches and leaves, and then picked up some soft dry grass and spread it under the tree.
There is no way. In the wilderness, having this straw nest means you are already a superior person.
Those brainless giants next door, when night falls, fall asleep, not caring whether the stone is hard or the soil is wet.
As the only intelligent brainless giant, the appearance must always be a bit particular.
Dragging his exhausted body, at the moment of sunset, Jiang Luo fell into his grass nest, his consciousness blurred, and he began to sleep soundly.
The next day, he picked up the stone in his hand and drew a vertical line on a large stone slab lying horizontally.
Paradis Island, the 82nd day of survival on a deserted island.
The sun had just risen on the horizon, and the long-haired, brainless giant who had been wandering next door for five days was standing there in a daze again. There was also a strange creature, which was digging its nose on the ground, like a pig and a dog.
They are hilarious to watch, yet sad at the same time.
Because they were all human beings.
"Sigh~" Jiang Luo sighed for the 6723rd time.
After yesterday's failure, the garrison troops on the island's city walls must have strengthened their defenses in that area. So, should I put my plan on hold for now?
Wait until the storm has passed before moving on to Plan B.
He sat in his straw nest and analyzed.
So far, he has come up with the following feasible solutions.
They are arranged in order of feasibility as follows.
1. Wait for the Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan to break through the wall, then pick up the missing items yourself;
2. Use equipment to sneak into the wall;
3. Stand guard at the city gate, and when it opens, rush in quickly;
4. Practice high jumping, make a pole vault pole, and climb over Wall Maria;
5. Make a fully armed "armored vehicle" and storm the city gate;
6. Make a super-large slingshot and throw yourself into the wall;
7. Make a hot air balloon and fly into it;
8...
What came after that was even less plausible, and he couldn't figure it out for the moment.
According to the order, the next step is Plan 3: take advantage of the Survey Corps' expedition and force their way in when the city gates are wide open.
The theoretical success rate of this plan is still acceptable, but the actual difficulty is - how to force your way in under the nose of the Survey Corps?
Those mad dogs are just as capable of killing giants as they are Muggles...
Thinking of the scene of himself being hacked to death, Jiang Luo's scalp tingled and he waved his hands repeatedly.
Besides, there are densely packed city wall garrisons above the city gate...
etc!
Jiang Luo stood up suddenly. "The city wall garrison? After what happened yesterday, will some of the troops be withdrawn? Will the city gate be left unguarded?"
In an instant, a series of tricky operations such as making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and besieging Wei to save Zhao formed in his mind.
"No!" He stood up, "I have to go and see!"
He reached into the straw nest and pulled out a strange object.
This is a crescent-shaped stone with a small curvature. It is long and curved, and there are traces of polishing on the corners. It looks like a bent steel plate.
There are two long strips, each tied with a straw rope on the left and right.
"My level 3 helmet!" Jiang Luo patted the weeds on it. "Although it's not finished yet, I'll take it with me."
He placed it on the back of his neck with his backhand, just close to his neck, then pulled the two ropes on the left and right and tied an elegant bow around his neck.
This is the stone he spent half a month carefully selecting.
It was solid and had a perfectly fitting arc. Jiang Luo, a skilled craftsman, polished it, rounding the edges and creating a groove for the rope. It took him two full days!
It is impossible to be fully armed, but at least the most important parts are covered.
At the critical moment, you can always save your life.
With the "level 3 helmet" in hand, Jiang Luo felt much more confident.
"They must have transferred the nearest troops there. I'm going to the nearest gate!"
The 82nd day of the battle plan officially begins.
Jiang Luo jogged towards the south of Wall Maria.
I ran a few steps before I passed by the long-haired giant next door who was in a daze. This brainless giant was in a daze and had been in a daze for five consecutive days. Maybe she was a quiet and beautiful woman in her life.
"Sister, if my plan succeeds, I'll give you that grass nest. It's always more comfortable to lie down and think." Jiang Luo said, and all he said were some unspoken words.
I don't know if the brainless giant understood or not, his unfocused eyes kept looking at the sky.
Jiang Luo trotted and passed by the strange creature again.
"Brother, when I learn how to straighten bones, I'll come back and help you fix it. We know each other after all. Seeing you bent like this makes my obsessive-compulsive disorder kick in."
These giants, having seen no human presence, had lingered in the vicinity for several days.
Since he has nothing to do, Jiang Luo would greet them every day.
The psychological toll of living alone in the wilderness for more than eighty days cannot be underestimated.
After passing the familiar area, he stepped into an unknown area.
The terrain of Paradis Island is mainly composed of large plains with flat terrain and occasional mountains.
After finding the right direction, it was easy to reach the south side of Wall Maria.
If Jiang Luo remembered correctly, that city wall was the birthplace of Eren, the protagonist of Attack on Titan.
What's the date? I wonder if that idiot boy has even been born yet.....
