League of Legends in Multiverse Chapter 44

It's only those fat-headed nobles who could think of treating the tools humanity relied on to hunt Giants as merchandise to play with. However, they had always lived in the inland regions within the first wall, enjoying peace and prosperity, never directly facing the threat of Giants. Therefore, matters like Giants and the weapons to fight them were naturally irrelevant to them during critical times.

Although this fact made one want to curse those idiots for having their heads kicked by a donkey, in reality, if they were that foolish, no one could stop them. After all, pig brains grow on other people's heads.

"Let's go back, training is over."

"How can we just go back like this?"

Some people still wanted to resist. They had been ambushed while fast asleep, so they couldn't fight back. Now that they had calmed down and thought about it, they could still do something.

"The ODM Gear has been taken, and the horses were also dispersed. What else can we do?"

Marco's statement wasn't wrong. This fact forced them to back down and make a rational judgment. "If we hurry back to the Training Corps camp, maybe Commander Keith can help."

"That's true. With such an unexpected incident, the expedition mission can't proceed normally. Even that devil instructor wouldn't dare to make things difficult for you because of this... I have nothing more to say."

Lian Ye shrugged. Their decision not to resist was wise. Even though it was quite cowardly, facing a bandit group armed with guns, one couldn't possibly demand they go to their deaths.

"So, you guys go back first."

Lian Ye gave the order. Since it was the leader's decision, even Eren, who had many reservations, couldn't argue further. This was the most sensible course of action, at least for them.

"What about you, Lian Ye?" Armin didn't follow the dejected backs of the group turning to leave. Instead, he sensed some unusual hints in Lian Ye's words, which is why Armin, the little angel, was the sharpest thinker.

"Since all the ODM Gear was taken away by carriage, their speed in rugged terrain like a forest definitely won't be fast. Also, the roads the carriages took should be relatively obvious and wide paths. It shouldn't be difficult to find their location."

Lian Ye didn't reply to Armin but answered with a conjecture. However, his intention was already clearly conveyed to Armin, the little angel.

He? He will rescue Krista.

Chapter 39 Counterattack

"If that's the case, I'm going too!"

Hearing Lian Ye's plan, Eren immediately stated his attitude. He didn't want to leave so cowardly and dejected.

If even some bandits armed with firearms dared not resist, how could they talk about fighting humanity's greatest nightmare in this world—Giants?

In fact, the biggest prerequisite for flexibly using ODM Gear isn't abundant physical strength, perfect technique, or explosive leg power, but rather... the strong mental fortitude to not panic even when truly facing Giants.

In this regard, among the members of these expeditionary teams, currently only Lian Ye and Eren's mental fortitude was considered up to par.

On the other hand, among the expeditionary team, there were quite a few whose qualities were up to par: Mikasa, Annie, Reiner, Bertholdt, Ymir, and so on.

As for Jean, he indeed lacked the courage to face Giants directly, but he also frankly admitted his lack of bravery, which made it hard to dislike him.

Furthermore, Jean's original plan was to work hard in the Training Corps and finally join the inland Military Police Brigade with excellent results, escaping this precarious way of life. He didn't need comrades or courage. The Military Police Brigade in the interior was not like the Survey Corps, where they had to constantly face the nightmare of fighting Giants.

A peaceful life was Jean's ultimate pursuit. Only when he was well was he truly well. With such a mindset, he naturally wouldn't risk his life for an adventure.

Even so, after hearing Lian Ye express his completely different attitude, Jean made a decision that was completely out of character for him. "Then I'll go too. Even I don't want to just stand here doing nothing when I can't do anything!"

After a fierce internal struggle, all the members of the expeditionary team overcame their inner fears and decided to do something.

Waiting silently for the bandits to unload their goods before releasing Krista would be too passive. Moreover, it was uncertain whether the bandits could be trusted.

"..." Lian Ye remained silent.
