Attack on Titan: Chop Everything

Another month has passed, and the new year is coming!

In the tent, Ronan, Petra and Ymir sat opposite each other around the fire, watching the food being cooked on the fire, feeling the warmth, and unconsciously showing a warm smile on their faces.

"This year, we three are celebrating the New Year together~" Ronan sighed.

He clearly remembered that at this time last year, he and Uncle Harry and Alan's family celebrated the New Year together. The scene was quite lively. This time, there were only three of us, and it seemed very quiet.

Hearing this, Petra smiled and said,"I didn't expect it either.....I can actually live until now."

Since the moment she joined the Survey Corps, she actually no longer expected to survive for a long time. After all, it is quite dangerous to go out of the wall to fight the Titans. Even the most well-trained soldiers may capsize.

Just like the members of the 100-man team this time, excluding those guarding the stronghold, more than a dozen people have been killed at this moment. For the team number, which is not very large in itself, the casualty ratio is already not small.

This is when they did not encounter a large number of Titan attacks, and the abnormal Titans were all killed by Ronan.

If Ronan had not acted as a vanguard to charge and lead the way, the number of casualties would have at least doubled.

Feeling the relief and desolation in Petra's words, Ronan said solemnly:"Don't worry, I'm here, both of you will be fine~"

"I don't need your protection, I'm strong!" Ymir retorted, causing Petra to laugh out loud:"Ymir is the best~"

"You don't have to tell me......."Ymir's cheeks flushed slightly

"Ymir, you're blushing." Ronan teased.

Hearing this, Ymir's expression froze and she said unhappily,"What do you care~"

Ronan:"......"

Petra:"Puff~~~"

~In 846, they arrived in this warm atmosphere. The preliminary plan for the Maria Wall Recapture Plan had been completed.

At noon the next day, looking at the large army slowly approaching him, Ronan knew that the next action was the most difficult part of the entire plan........They were going to play in the Shiganshina area.

Because it was the first area to be breached, and with the deliberate guidance of Reiner and the other two, the number of giants was very large, far more than in other areas. The densely packed group of giants was undoubtedly extremely difficult to deal with for a corps without weapons of mass destruction.

Even if the corps had powerful forces like Ronan, Levi and Sanmao, it was impossible to rely on only three people to fight, and time did not allow them to do so. Necessary sacrifices were definitely unavoidable.

At this time, in the temporary camp, in the tent where Erwin was~

""Your soldiers are very good, they can already be called elite troops." Erwin praised.

Ronan shook his head slightly:"It's still far from that, they only rely on the advantages of weapons, and they can't compare with the most elite soldiers in our army."

"You are too modest......."

Erwin changed the subject and said,"They seem to be very supportive of you.~"

"It’s okay, obeying the orders of superiors is the most basic requirement for a soldier~"

Without dwelling on this topic any further, Ronan asked:"Captain, we will start cleaning up the southern war zone later, what is the current situation there?"

"It's not optimistic~"

Erwin took a deep breath and said with a heavy heart:"The Southern Expeditionary Force has the largest number of troops, reaching 100,000 people, but according to the intelligence we have obtained so far, the number of people who are still alive is probably less than 30%~"

"More than 70,000 people died.....It seems that there are quite a lot of giants there~" Ronan looked calm.

The expedition in the past few months has made his heart become exceptionally peaceful, and he no longer expresses his true emotions as casually as before.

Seeing this, Erwin nodded slightly:"It is indeed not small, so we can only gather our troops together, and this time, the casualties will definitely be much greater than before, and the operation may even fail, you have to be mentally prepared.~"

"I understand~"

Realizing that Erwin had no intention of continuing the conversation, Ronan stood up tactfully and said,"Captain, if there is nothing else, I will leave.~"

""Yeah~" Erwin nodded calmly.

However, just as Ronan reached the door and prepared to go out, Erwin's voice sounded again behind him:

"Ronan, if you were asked to be the supreme commander of the legion, what would you choose?"

Turning his head, looking at Erwin, who had an extremely serious expression and a hint of expectation in his eyes, Ronan said without hesitation:

"Just like you~"

Then he turned around and walked out of the tent.

""Thank you~" Erwin whispered.

Walking out of the tent, thinking back to what he had just said, Ronan shook his head helplessly:"The captain is still the same captain, and he has never changed his original intention~"

At this moment, Levi walked over with a firm step.

""Captain~" Ronan greeted him.

Levi paused, looked at Ronan, looked him up and down, and said indifferently:"You have grown taller again?"

"Well, he is 1.75 meters tall now~" Ronan said with a smile.

He took a look at the captain's figure and found that he was still as stable as usual.

Levi's mouth twitched when he noticed Ronan's behavior:"Not bad~"

""Hmm~"

After an awkward chat, Ronan left.

Watching Ronan's departing back, the indifference on Levi's face disappeared, revealing a faint smile:"This brat~"

Then he entered the tent, ready to discuss some details of the operation with Erwin.

As for Ronan, although he is still the squad leader of the Survey Corps, he is actually no longer under the command of Erwin and has sufficient independence. However, Ronan has no intention of acting on his own. As Erwin just said, the liberation and recovery of the southern region can only be achieved through joint actions.

Any party acting alone will undoubtedly suffer heavy losses, or even annihilation.

This is not This is what Ronan wanted to see~

After just one day of resting together, Ronan and Erwin merged into one and launched an expedition to the southern region. Along the way, they were able to see the strongholds and fortifications built by Erwin. They had to admit that the other party was indeed very capable.

No wonder he was able to replace Keith as the leader of the Survey Corps!

They did not encounter any more giants along the way and successfully reached the southernmost part of the Eastern War Zone, which was where Erwin had set out before. Further south was the Southern War Zone, which was also the most dangerous area. The originally relaxed atmosphere was immediately replaced by tension and depression.
