The Thoughts of Both Sides

Shiganshina District, here is a desolate and ruined scene. 

There has been no human intervention for the past five years, and the houses are all empty. Moss has covered the old walls and the wooden doors are rotting under the erosion of wind and rain.

The years are passing quietly, the old footprints are buried, and the garden in every corner is overgrown with weeds. Occasionally, a few hares can be found in the wild grass, and animals appear in the ponds. 

In the middle of nowhere, most animals are doing well.

And now, there are some uninvited guests besides those animals here. They climbed the high wall and were having a picnic on the wall as if it was the most normal thing in the world. 　　     

Without a chase scene, Reiner and Bertholdt were a bit distracted and out of sorts. Reiner looked over at Zeke, who was calmly tucking in the firewood and making coffee, and they couldn't help but ask, "Captain Zeke, is there really no need to sneak back inside the walls? Don't you want to know about the information inside the wall? It's been over a month, and the Survey Corps hasn't moved at all." 

"Son of surprise" Zake Yeager, Marley's warrior commander, blond hair, bushy beard, muscular and wearing a pair of glasses, from the outside, looks vicissitudes of life, but also a little gentle.

Zake was very calm: "As long as they come to take back this territory, we can eliminate them according to plan, and then everything will be simple." 

For this reason, Zake even captured many Eldians and injected them with reagents, then locked them up.

This time, I haven't seen Eren use the power to manipulate titans. Reiner hesitated, "However, we are not 100% sure that the power of the coordinates is inside Eren Yeager." 

"If it is not with him, as long as the main force of the Survey Corps is removed, the subsequent actions will be very simple." From Reiner's words, he learned that Grisha Yeager was not dead and had a son named Eren Jaeger. Five years ago, Eren obtained the power of the attack titan and the founding titan has not appeared until now. 

Based on his understanding of those of his father's ideology, he knows that Grisha, who obtained the power of the attack titan, that is, his father, will definitely snatch the power of the coordinates.

"However, Annie seems to have been exposed and by those demons' words, it seems that she was defeated..." Bertholdt rarely asked proactively, but now he was very worried.

At this time, due to some detour, Reiner and Bertholdt did not know Annie's specific situation, although Takashi clearly said that he had killed her, they could only guess what really happened without witnessing it. Because of this, Reiner did not come into conflict with Zake. Of course, the armored titan is no opponent of the beast titan. 

The beast titan itself is not strong, otherwise, Marley would not have thrown this power on a scientist or a scholar back then.

But Zeke Jaeger has extraordinary potential and talent. As the talented Warrior that he is, his beast titan is well utilized in his hands. Not to mention the long-range throwing ability. 

"Don't worry, Annie is so smart she'll be fine."  Comforted Zake with a smile.

Strange that Pieck Finger didn't keep the form of her titan freighter, and the woman named Pieck Finger with long hair frowned. She wasn't as easy to fool as Reiner and Bertholdt, "Do you know any information we don't?" 

"He won't like surprises, who knows what he's doing now." 

Zake looked at her, this girl is so smart and said, "Come on Pieck, it's really nothing important, you should know that Grisha Jaeger is my father, someone like him would definitely instill wrong knowledge to my poor brother." 　　 

"As an older brother, I have the responsibility to rescue him from the sea of suffering. I have some selfish intentions, but you have to believe that this is all for Marley, for our suffering countrymen. Think of your family! And the bad history of the past - it's time to end it all!" 

Reiner and Bertholdt nodded, remembering the story of the warrior leader killing relatives righteousness, his loyalty beyond doubt, and the morale of the two even improved a bit.

Pieck also nodded approvingly, but she was thinking about another matter, she felt that Zake was acting and decided to investigate him and some of his subordinates when I returned. 

Zake looked at Pieck, whose face showed no emotion or anger, and then looked at Reiner and Bertholdt, who were encouraged to stand a little firmer, and sighed in his heart. 

Pieck Finger, this woman is really difficult to deal with, but Reiner and Bertholdt are pleasant to look at and believe everything she says. 

Just as he was about to talk about trivia, footsteps came from behind their group and a voice said, "They are quieter than usual when our situation is terrible, if we don't win this time, we will lose this war." 

"That voice..." Reiner muttered with a dazed expression. 

"How can you be here? It was always you..." Bertholdt pointed at the figure in that voice with a strange expression. 

"Hahaha, even though I gave you my help when the female titan was about to be caught, it seems none of you noticed." The voice who belonged to the warhammer titan's vessel scoffed at the sight of Reiner and Bertholdt's expressions. 

"It can't be..." 

... 

Takashi often feels that time has passed slowly, by fully analyzing the advantages and disadvantages, it was finalized that Nanaba would receive the power of the female titan, many even though they were against it, there was nothing they could do. 

Therefore, Nanaba will be the third warrior on behalf of mankind within the walls. With this, three titans and one Susanoo had become the most powerful weapons to face the enemies.

In the capital, Mitras, where the Survey Corps is stationed, on the second floor of a small building. Erwin was sitting in a chair, reading a newspaper, looking a bit calm and relaxed.

Captain Levi in a handsome little suit pushed open the door, "Since when have you been so quiet?" 

Erwin put down the newspaper in his hand and said with a gentle smile, "Although the outside world doesn't sound very beautiful, after checking my father's conjecture, I felt an emptiness in my heart, as if I had lost that motivation in my spirit." 

Levi closed the door, "So, now you leave everything to Hange Zoe, acting like it doesn't matter." 

Erwin stood up, looking at the scenery outside the window, "Maybe I'm so selfish. I'm not doing it for humans at all. To be precise, I'm giving my heart for the human beings inside the wall for the burden of the people I sent to their death. My father's conjecture gradually became my obsession. Everything I do, in fact, is to verify that my father was right." 

"You are no longer fit to go to the front in this state, and you don't have to participate in the upcoming battle to take back the Mary Wall." Levi said bluntly.

Erwin shook his head, "Not to mention before, you have joined the Survey Corps for many years, you must know how many ruthless and cold-blooded orders I have given, and for the sake of human freedom, to discover the truth of the world etc...How many soldiers have been sent to die for such a noble reason!" 

"Now Takashi is fully grown, and with Ymir's power, our chances of winning are not small, still we don't have enough information of the enemy, what will happen? They can all suddenly appear, there will even be new enemies, after all, according to Ymir's information, Marley has others among his ranks." 

"I must go to the front and command this battle." 

The voice was cold: "I think you are dying even without fighting, wouldn't it be good to drink tea and read the newspaper from behind the ramparts?"

Erwin chuckled: "I feel like I'm going to die too. No one can stay alert forever and carry all the burdens like a callous man, and I'm no exception." 

"It doesn't matter. The good thing is that I am not an irreplaceable person. Countless comrades, friends and brothers have died..." 　　     

"I can break your legs, so you don't have to go and die." Levi said with a cold stare. 

Erwin opened the window and turned to look at him, "You can do that at first, it would be better if you talked it over with your nephew, he has been very puzzled lately." 

"So many people have been tricked into giving their hearts for humanity, standing on the corpses of countless people to climb to the top, now, let me fight in front and defend that belief." 

After those words, the two parties were silent for a while, Levi got up and left, "I'll go see Keith with everyone, Takashi mentioned that maybe he might know something about Eren." 

Watching the people come and go through the streets, a group of people came out of the Sina wall. 

The large group of horses led many people to the South Rose Wall training regiment station. 

The scenery on both sides was quickly left behind, the wind in the field blowing on the grass. 

When it was time to arrive, Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Jean and Connie looked at the familiar scenery around them, but did not speak. They used to run and train on this road. 

Takashi was riding on the back of Babas, to be honest, he had been driving a carriage recently and hadn't galloped for a while.

"Sasha, you look a little nervous." Takashi looked up at Sasha with a grating look on her face.

Sasha exhaled, "It's a bit nostalgic, it seems like I haven't seen Keith as an instructor in a long time, even though it's only been less than five months." 

"Yeah, maybe the world is changing too fast." He still remembered instructor Keith's bald head. 

"Takashi, after visiting the instructor, let's go home and visit the villagers."  Sasha said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go back home, that's where we met and once we arrive, I'll give you a taste of a food that many say is very delicious." Takashi agreed. 

"Is it really delicious?" Sasha's eyes sparkled. 

"Of course it is."
