Infinite Begins with Giants

Chapter 37 Cannonballs and the Ego

Time flew by, and it was the end of October 849.

The combat training class is over. After the physical training in the morning, there is a military theory class, not only learning the theory, but also the operation and maintenance of the cannon.Fortification and patrolling of walls.

On the open space outside the training regiment's garrison, a row of cannons was placed, and an instructor stood in front of everyone: "As a soldier, it is also necessary to learn how to use cannons. Ordinary shells can stop giants from moving. Howitzers are powerful and can kill giants." , but although it has been improved many times, the hit rate is still very low..."

After the instructor finished talking about the power and usage of various shells, he then told everyone how to maintain and maintain them, and personally demonstrated how to operate them, and what precautions are required. In fact, they have been explained in detail in the theoretical class of the previous three weeks, but now they are just based on the real thing Again.

"Okay, you start operating in units of classes, ask if you don't understand, and be careful not to hurt anyone." After the instructor finished speaking, he signaled everyone to start, and some male trainers couldn't wait, this is the actual operation of the cannon.

There are a total of 8 cannons on the field, and five people from Squad 7 are trying to fire shells on a fort.

Neil puts an ordinary shell into the breech, and Rob is about to pull the fuse.

"Cover your ears." Ren said to Christa, who was a little disturbed. He found that the goddess was not used to the roar of artillery fire.

"Yeah." Christa covered her ears with her hands.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and the shell bombarded the open space in front, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust. Ren could only feel his head buzzing. The power of this cannon was not very powerful, but it was really loud enough!
Really thunder and rain!
Ymir shook his head and cursed: "Damn, I almost went deaf."

Christa then took her hand away and breathed a sigh of relief.

After a few more operations, their training for this class was over. It took about an hour and a half from getting familiar with the use of the cannon to overhauling it.

Because there are only 8 guns, the 42 squads can only be divided into six groups of people to operate in turn, and there are 34 squads queuing behind.

After Ryan's class left, the second batch of 8 classes began to go. At this time, someone came to ask Christa after training, and Christa ran to help with a smile.

Seeing that Christa endured the huge roar of artillery fire, forced a smile, and enthusiastically helped and instructed everyone how to operate, Ren frowned. This girl is very sick.

"Don't you care?" He said to Ymir.

Putting his hands on his forehead, Ymir felt quite a headache: "I can't help it, she always shows a look of being eager to help others, even if she can't stand the loud noise of the shells, as long as someone asks her, she will go up to help others , There are many similar things, I can only teach those guys who push their feet and have ulterior motives, but there are some things that I am not qualified to decide for her."

"Really?" Ren watched the scene expressionlessly. After a while, he couldn't stand it anymore, and went directly to pull Christa back.

"Ren, what's the matter?" Christa, who was pulled back, looked at Ren suspiciously with big blue eyes.

Looking down at Christa slightly, Ren persuaded: "Don't force yourself to do things you don't like. They can ask the instructor." He is not against Christa helping others. If she enjoys it, he will definitely not She can meddle in other people's business, but she clearly can't stand the loud noise of the gunfire, and forces herself to help others.

Christa hesitated: "But they asked me for help, I should..."

Interrupting Christa, he said bluntly: "You don't need to live like others need. You should know that many people call you a goddess, and everyone likes you very much."

After a pause, Ren said in a deep voice: "But I don't like you, I don't like you like this. It makes me feel very awkward."

Christa panicked: "Sorry, did I do something wrong?"

Ren shook his head: "No, in fact, you have done everything well, and everyone praises you, but are you happy? Why do you have to smile gently at those guys who push themselves every time? If not Like it or not, you can let them go!"

"I...but...we should be kind to others and help each other." Christa was a little at a loss.

"You're right, there's nothing wrong with it. I don't intend to talk to you about any big reasons, but I hope that from today on, I won't push myself anymore, at least try to refuse those things you don't want to do, and those you don't want to help Busy, can you do it?" Ren was rarely gentle.

Christa dodged her eyes, lowered her head and remained silent.

Ymir had a helpless expression, and folded his hands on his chest. It's not that she didn't persuade her, but it didn't help.

"Ren, I'm sorry, I want to ask, do your parents like you?" Christa looked at Ren with red eyes.

Slightly taken aback, Ren didn't understand why the goddess suddenly asked this. When he was still on earth, his mother was similar to Rang Bao's mother.As for Karen, an orphan, this is why he felt that he was going against the sky at the time.

But Ren's identity is a little more complicated.

"Dad, why did we use fake surnames before? Why did someone bother us?" 8-year-old Ren looked at his sighing father in confusion.

Touching little Ryan's head, Ryan's father said: "I don't know either. We are just a branch of the Ackerman family. Maybe the family knows a little more." As a person who follows his heart (counseling), He had been anonymous for a long time, and everyone in the family probably thought he was dead.There is no way, there are always people who want to harm him.

"What about my mother?"

"Well, your mother was weak and died of illness not long after giving birth to you." Ren's father had a vicissitudes of life.

Back then when his family was in decline and his clansmen fled in all directions, he ran directly out of the Wall of Hina, came to the Wall of Rose, hid XZ all the way, and gradually came to the southern edge of the Wall of Rose. He didn't know when it started. No one came to make trouble anymore, and when he found this out, he had been fighting wits with the air for many years!

Of course you can't tell your son about this kind of thing, it will damage his tall image in front of his son. He actually admires a certain cousin, that is Emperor Gou. When he ran away, there were actually few people left. A dear friend told him that he was going all the way south and hid in the Shigancina district, the southernmost part of the Wall of Mary!
As expected of his brother, he can really run!

Ren's father didn't know that the cousin he admired was stabbed by a trafficker in the end, failed to make it to the finale, and received a box lunch a few years earlier than him.

Ren came back to his senses and looked at Christa: "It's okay, how can a mother not like her child?"

Christa looked at Ren in a daze: "Really? Every book says that a mother loves her children, but my mother doesn't love me. She wants me to die." She remembered that when she was on that farm, she first Once he mustered up his courage and threw himself into his mother's arms, but was pushed away. The mother also said that she wanted to kill her.

The atmosphere was suddenly silent, and Ymir looked at Christa in shock, she didn't know about this before.

Sighing, Renn, whose heart was a little shaken, looked at Christa with pity: "So, she just gave birth to you, she is not your mother, and how you live has nothing to do with her. I don't want to preach to you, Mother is not only a blood connection, she is also a responsibility."

Christa began to cry, but Ymir held her tightly in his arms without saying a word.

Rob and Neil were very surprised. They didn't know Christa's identity, but they were still shocked to hear that her mother wanted her to die. This was too cruel for Christa as a little girl at the time.

Ren, with a somewhat indifferent expression, looked at Rob and Neil: "You heard it all, and you should pay attention to it in the future. There are many things we can't control, and we can't make decisions for Christa, but if there are those who take advantage of her kindness to make progress, Flatten them, let them roll round!"

"Yes!" The two nodded.

The bombardment of artillery fire continued, and only the 7th squad heard the conversation here.

Ren didn't have the strongest mouth, nor was he a life mentor. After that, Christa was still a gentle, lovely, helpful goddess, but at least she learned to refuse those things she didn't like to do and didn't want to help.

Ymir's protection of the goddess is more comprehensive, and any unreasonable requests should not be considered by her. Even if Christa doesn't understand her, she doesn't care.

This is a miserable world, no matter what, life has to go on.
