• Erwin Smith : Before we can reach the aforementioned cellar in Shiganshina, another problem must be dealt with. We must first retake Wall Maria. Of course, this is much easier said than done. And now that the gate at Trost has been rendered inaccessible, we'll be forced to stage future operations from the Calanath District, further east. Thus, the battalion route we've spent the last four years establishing is now completely useless to us. Over the course of those four years, we've incurred losses in excess of sixty percent. Sixty percent in four years. That's a horrifying figure. One month from now, we will conduct a recon mission outside the walls. Recruits among your ranks will be expected to take part. I estimate a third of them will die. After four years, most will be dead. But those who endure will be amongst the most capable soldiers alive. Now having heard this dismal state of affairs, whoever still wishes to put their lives on the line and join us, remain here. But first, ask yourself. Can you give your heart? Can you give everything for humanity? That is all. Those wanting to join other regiments are dismissed.
