League of Legends in Multiverse

Ideally, the two teams would rendezvous at a farther marker, retrieve their respective tokens, and then return along their separate paths to achieve the best trial results.

----But, how much the ideal outcome would deviate from reality after actually undertaking an expedition, that… that could only be verified through actual combat.

.……

"It's not a competition to decide a winner, only a fool would rush their journey. ----- We'll just take it slow and see how things go."

Jean Kirstein said with a pout. His lazy and trouble-averse personality was vastly different from Eren's hot-blooded nature. In Jean's opinion, since it wasn't a competition, there was no harm in their team taking it slow.

"I don't care if there's a winner or not, I'll give it my best effort anyway. ----- Jean, if you want to go slow, be my guest. I'm heading out quickly."

As expected, Eren immediately retorted to Jean's unmotivated statement. He flicked the reins and sped ahead of Jean.

"But Eren, we need to maintain team discipline…" Little angel Armin intervened between the two people who didn't get along, quietly persuading them.

After a year of soldier training, Eren wasn't someone who would completely disregard everything when his Blood Essence got heated. Moreover, what Armin said made sense.

Noticing the faint gaze from the person leading ahead turning back, Eren reluctantly reined in his horse and slowed down.

----Big brother is watching you!

"Tsk…" Lian Ye clicked his tongue as if regretting it. Jean and Eren immediately fell silent, their mouths shut tight.

If Eren had been a bit more reckless, Lian Ye would have had the excuse, as captain, to beat the disobedient fellow and pin him to the ground.

Normally, not having a reason to discipline these two unruly guys had made Lian Ye's hands itch a little.

"Aiyyyy~~~~"

Eren quickly and wisely quieted down, and Jean no longer dared to cause trouble. This, however, made Lian Ye heave a sigh of extreme boredom.

It would have been great if the two of them caused more trouble; then he would have had the excuse of a captain's punishment to beat them both. Otherwise, just bickering on the road wouldn't be enough to pass the time.

According to the pre-arranged plan, Lian Ye was the captain (leader) of this expedition team, responsible for leading all team members and responding to sudden situations. Little angel Armin, on the other hand, was the recorder, responsible for documenting important events worth recording along the way and reporting them to the commander of the Training Corps, Instructor Keith.

Besides him and Armin, as well as Eren and Jean, the members of this expedition team also included Marco (Jean's best friend), Krista, Connie, and several other new recruits whose names were not very important—in other words, extras who would only live for three episodes in a world like 'Attack on Titan'.

As for the other expedition team, it included important combat forces like Third Sister Mikasa, Reiner, Hoover, and Annie. According to the original plot, these four people corresponded to the top four graduates of the 104th Training Corps, truly the 'Four Heavenly Kings' of the Training Corps.

Therefore, the result of this member allocation seemed unreliable no matter how you looked at it, likely made casually by the instructor with water in his head.

However, with Lian Ye anchoring this expedition team, the balance of combat power immediately tipped over. He alone could be compared to the combined combat power of those four people (the Four Heavenly Kings), and this statement was not an exaggeration.

Chapter 28: Nightfall

In the deep passage of the valley, the expedition team moved forward in a staggered formation, arranged in front and back queues.

The speed was neither fast nor slow, much faster than a normal person running, but not yet at the maximum speed of military horses.

Ordinary mules and horses were far inferior to military horses in terms of speed, endurance, and explosiveness. Specially bred military horses could maintain high-speed running for a long time, their speed far exceeding that of ordinary clumsy giants, which was an important factor in ensuring soldier survival rates.

Of course, if the Survey Corps encountered extremely fast Abnormal Giants or even special giants like the 'Armored Giant' outside the walls, they could only pray for their own good fortune. A single horse could not save their lives.

Monotonous and inorganic bare rock blocks covered this narrow valley. The entire way was a wasteland, making people feel extremely bored. Although the largest area, the region between Wall of Rose and Wall of Maria, had fallen, the central region was indeed a vast expanse.

However, compared to the vast world outside the walls, humanity, confined within the walls, was ultimately like being imprisoned in a birdcage.
