Attack on Titan's Silent Watch

Levi had just 'convinced' him not to perjure?

In the evening, the survey corps returned triumphantly. When the city gate slowly closed, a group of gendarmes appeared in front of Erwin 'can't wait', "Captain Smith, I wonder if the inspector sent by the parliament is safe?"

Erwin turned his head, Levi pushed Andy's shoulder to the front, "Don't worry, he's fine."

The leading gendarme looked at Andy carefully. Except for his pale face and dull eyes, his body was intact.

"Let's go, we will go to the Council Hall early tomorrow morning to report on the investigation outside the wall."

"It really doesn't make people rest." Erwin said helplessly.

As a result, the top executives of the Survey Corps and Andy were taken away on the spot, leaving a group of soldiers who were a little at a loss.Pedestrians on the street talked about this, and they all felt that this was the rhythm of 'beheading' the survey corps, and they were about to finish their game.

At the meeting, President Zachary looked over Andy's notes and asked: "Are you writing all the facts?"

Andy lowered his head nervously and said nothing, but he could be found trembling slightly.

"If you have something to say, it's okay to say it. Could it be because you were threatened by the survey corps and dare not tell the truth?" A clear female voice came from the noble seat, it was Niobe.

Erwin felt a little strange seeing her. Why was the representative of the Sterling family replaced by Niobe?Where is Icarus?And the feather fan in her hand was also missing.

Seeing that Andy was still silent, Zachary turned his head and asked, "Levi, you are responsible for protecting his safety all the way, can you explain why?"

"Probably because I was almost eaten by a giant on the way, so I was scared stupid."

Hearing the word 'giant', Andy suddenly went berserk and yelled, "Don't come here! Don't eat me!"

Andy had a mental breakdown and tears, it seemed that he could no longer be responsible for his words and deeds.The president pushed his glasses, "Now, this record is the only thing that can prove that the previous reports of the Survey Corps were not false. It can be confirmed that it is the handwriting of Inspector Andy. It records that the previous reports of the Survey Corps are true. Then, resume the investigation You should have no objection to the Corps’ funds, right?”

Niobe looked nervously at Senator Russell, expecting his rebuttal.He was the one who proposed this plan, and now it's on the verge of failure, so he can't stand by and watch, right?However, after seeing her gaze, Russell seemed more at ease, leaning lazily on the back of the chair.

"I object." As a last resort, Niobe stood up. She did not allow her son to lose the last battle of his life.

"What is the basis of your objection?" asked the President.

"They must have used some kind of violence to make the inspectors lose their minds. Even those notes may have been written under the duress of the Survey Corps. Many refugees who fled from the Wall of Maria to the Wall of Ross have seen How come they don't have such a big reaction?"

"Do you mean to send another person with the survey corps to go outside the wall to investigate again, and then verify whether giants can really scare people crazy?" Another nobleman continued.

Levi asked seriously: "You all agree on this frightened kid, now that he can't say anything beneficial to you, do you want to go back on your word?"

Erwin raised his hand calmly, "I agree with Captain Levi. The top priority is to complete the supply route to Maria's Wall, not to verify those unfounded suspicions. The soldiers of our survey corps first Every time you go outside the wall, you will inevitably feel scared, let alone ordinary people, it is normal to be scared."

"If Mrs. Sterling still has doubts about our investigation, you can go with us in the next investigation outside the wall. I believe your words will be more convincing." Erwin said to Niobe.

"This is indeed a good idea." President Zachary said: "From the investigation outside the wall, the survey corps is more than enough to protect an accompanying ordinary person. If Mrs. Sterling doesn't believe it, you can only verify it yourself gone."

Speaking of this, Niobe hesitated.The Scout Corps could drive Andy crazy, and they could drive her crazy, too.If something happened to her, not only would she not be able to avenge Icarus, but the property of the two families would fall into the hands of Daier, and she couldn't let the Sterling family be destroyed in her hands.

"I'm just concerned about the reason why the inspector was frightened mad. The contents of the inspector's notes are still credible." Niobe let go after weighing the pros and cons, but there was an obvious expression of unwillingness on his face.

However, in fact Andy is not crazy.As Icarus said, he can tell all kinds of lies without shame.

In the cabin, just when Levi was threatening Andy to kill him, Andy gave up, "Don't!"

Levi stopped cutting people and asked, "Have you finally thought of your last words?"

"Don't kill me! Before I was recruited by that nobleman named Sterling, another nobleman's servant came to me long ago." Andy quickly explained.

"Whose servant?"

"I don't know. The other party gave me a lot of money and told me to steal things outside that restaurant on purpose, and make a lot of noise. Then they said that a noble boy would hire me to frame the investigative corps."

"Oh?" Levi's eyes flickered, "What else?"

Andy didn't dare to hide anything, so he had to tell the whole story, hoping that Levi would let him go, "The noble servant who found me first said that he could get two rewards at the same time as long as he pretended to be frightened by the giant." Will was not pleasing to the eye, but it wasn't too bad for money, so he agreed to the job.

Hearing the expected answer, Levi put the knife back into its sheath with a swipe, "If what you just said was half a lie, I will definitely make you die more miserable than dying in the giant's stinky mouth."

In the end, the Survey Corps regained its funds, and those who learned that Andy was frightened mad, no matter what prejudice they had against the Survey Corps before, had to admit that their psychological quality was really strong, and they could indeed afford the hope of 'humanity'. 'This appellation improved the reputation of the Corps.

As for the Sterling family who took the lead in persecuting them this time, they were completely defeated and their status plummeted.After the meeting, before Erwin had time to mock Niobe, she was taken away by the military police. In all likelihood, a huge amount of property of unknown origin was filed for investigation.But at this juncture, because everyone subconsciously felt that Vanessa's arrest was the secret of Icarus' anonymous letter, no one was willing to lend a helping hand to the 'treacherous' Sterling family.

Coming out of the parliament hall, Andy was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and needed to be hospitalized for observation and psychological counseling.

Sure enough, everything went according to the script, and the author of this script was Vanessa herself.

The top executives of the survey corps who participated in the meeting were relieved, and Erwin praised: "Thanks to her arrangement, not only did an enemy be defeated, but the corps can also take this opportunity to make a positive publicity for free."

"When you say that, I miss her a little bit." Levi replied.

Before the investigation outside the wall, after listening to Vanessa's plan in the ward, Levi, who had seen a lot of the dark side of society, couldn't help but gasped, "When did you start planning?"

"Planning all the time." Vanessa said indifferently lying on the bed, but there was some kind of desire hidden deep in her pupils.

"Captain! Commander Erwin!" An investigator hurried to Erwin.

"What's going on?" Erwin asked, holding his shoulder.

"Yesterday afternoon, Vanessa was forcibly taken away by members of the Gendarmerie. They have an arrest warrant, and we can't stop them..."

Erwin and Levi couldn't help frowning in shock, no wonder those military police stopped them directly on the street and asked them to rush to the capital for a meeting overnight. It turned out to prevent them from discovering that Vanessa was missing, so they could have time Rush to save people.In other words, Vanessa is in a very dangerous situation right now.

Death (1)

The status quo makes Erwin puzzled. Doesn't Vanessa have no 'value'?Why would she be taken away.To be precise, it is unknown whether those gendarmes were sent by Niobe, but without any specific information, Erwin's intuition tells that it may be related to Icarus.

Analyzing from an absolutely rational level, Vanessa's being taken away by Niobe is actually a kind of "black eating black" behavior.It's hard to say whether Vanessa will help them after overthrowing her enemies and inheriting the family property.

Therefore, if he saved her, he would probably set himself a more terrifying enemy than Niobe; if he didn't save her, the Survey Corps might also lose a potential 'benefactor behind the scenes'.

"Erwin, what are you still doing in a daze? Come up with a countermeasure." Levi reminded from the side.

"Uh..." Erwin came back to his senses, didn't he always call himself a 'gambler'?Why did you suddenly become intimidated?

Without further ado, he immediately ordered Mikay and Levi to go north to find Durand to help investigate the whereabouts of the members of the Sterling family. It is very likely that Niobe brought Vanessa back to the territory.On the other hand, he and Han Ji returned south to the Trost District, asked the local gendarmerie for specific information about the handover of Vanessa, and tried to find out the clues of those who took Vanessa away.

When she returned to the office in the evening, Petra hurried to look for Erwin, with tears in her eyes and a choked voice, "Captain, Vanessa..."

Erwin had a sense of foreboding.

Just this morning, when the meeting was in progress, Crick Russell came to the gate of the Survey Corps in a carriage in a fair manner.Everyone knows where the Russell family stands
