For weeks the recon corps had been planning the last push against the titans and it was almost time to put the plan into action. a conference was finally starting with the military police, the garrison and the recon corps to hopefully exterminate the titans once and for all. I was sat towards the back of the room, having helped make most of the plans, and didn't pay much attention towards the people filling into the conference room. Finally after all the 'important men' had entered the room the conference started.
"I have called you all today as the recon corps have created a plan to eliminate the titans once and for all" Erwin paused allowing the murmurs of surprise to spread throughout the room, if they just shut up and listened then they would know what was going to happen instead of guessing falsely. I don't understand humans sometimes. " The plan is quite simple but will only be able to take place if everyone co-operates and agrees to take part. Eren Jeager: in titan form will round up as many titans as he can to a specific location" Erwin paused his explanation to point to a place on the map pinned up. "Then the recon corps and military police will spread out into a wide circle to trap the titans. Once Eren Jaeger is out of the circle, we attack, killing them all in one confined place like pigs for slaughter. the Garrison will form a larger, more widely spread circle to kill off any titans that escape the offensive circle. This will continue for as long as possible. We have created a weapon that kills titans effectively and quickly with little injuries. It comes in a canister similar to flare canisters and works with flare guns. You simply shoot it at the titan and the titan will fall into a deep slumber, the gas is non-toxic to humans and can spread up to a diameter of 20 meters. When all the titans are in deep slumber, we easily chop the nape of their neck, thus killing them." Erwin paused yet again to let the information sink.
"Obviously the number of titans in the world are not confirmed so soon after we will set traps to capture and kill any roaming titans after the final attack. Hopefully by next year we could be planning to move outside the walls." I scanned the room looking for any suspicious activity that there usually is with rich businessmen and merchants that have their lives easy. Sure enough one particularly ignorant man started to speak garbage
"How do we know Eren Jeager can be trusted, he is a monster, a titan-shifter! He could Kill everyone!" Surely enough this sparked some ideas in other single celled brains in this room and before long the conference room was in a ruckus, filled with ignorant headed merchants who do nothing to help humanity to survive. I'd had enough with these pieces of filth
"Silence, pigs" All heads in the room turned to me who was now standing up, glaring at them all, piercing them with my icy cold glare. "What have you done to help eliminate the titans? Have you gone out and risked your life? Have you had to watch your friends, people you trusted being crushed between the jaws- between the fists of titans and could do nothing but run away and hope you live? Have you helped save hundreds- thousands of lives, yet in return get called a monster because in order to save lives you have to appear to be the enemy. Have you seen your mother die in front of you? Had to grow up training in the military because the only thing you know for sure is that you will destroy every last Titan? No, didn't think so. And although it may not seem it but Eren Jeager has done, or experienced every last one of these and yet you can't trust him. Well then you piece of shit, if that's what you truly believe then come with us and we will see if you last one second" and with that I sat down. Some in the room looked shocked at what I said, but why shouldn't have I, Eren Jeager willingly or not was part of squad Levi and no-one insults my squad, small as it may be now. The poor brat has endured so much and never whinges, he goes through countless experiments with Hanji to find a way to exterminate the titans. We could all hear his screams yet never once did he ever complain. Although I hated to admit it I trusted him like the others that had once been in my squad, like Petra and Olou. He was now part of Squad Levi, truly and wholly. So that meant the fearsome protection and, apparently (though I don't believe it), the possessiveness of myself.
The merchant shut up quickly though and Eren who had been sat further too the back had made himself as small as a mouse and as red as the colossal titans skin. Poor brat being talked about like this, I pitied him slightly, and for only a moment before focusing my attention back on Erwin
"Right ok, any other questions?"
"How long does this gas keep effect, If they wake up whilst we are still administering it to others this could be all for nothing?" A lone voice spoke from the back but it was too much effort to turn and look at the source.
"AH! Glad you asked that, I've had my fun with figuring that out, it can last for up to two weeks on the 4 meter class and yet across all meter types the minimum it lasts is 2 hours, I haven't quite figured this out as my hypotheses was that the taller classes would wear off sooner yet no! So this leads me to believe-"
"Ah Thankyou Hanji, I think they get the point though"
An uncomfortable silence seeped its way into the conference room causing most to fidget and squirm about. Soon enough many agreed that this is the best plan we had yet and it was decided to take place in 1 weeks' time.
I went my way back to my quarters for the night, the bright moon was high in the sky watching down on the world and covering it in its snowy blanket of security; the stars were visible this night as well, gleaming from above like tiny daggers ready to be thrown at their target. Tomorrow would be a busy day, as we would all be getting the final preparations for this last attack ready and training extra hard. I was going to make sure to push the rookies as hard and as far as I could in the short space of time, it wouldn't do to have any slackers. Deciding to take an early night I settled for a quick shower with my favorite soap, and then to bed.
