Erwin Smith.
Narrates Armin
When establishing a route to Shinganshina, the legion encountered an intelligent titan, one by one the soldiers were killed.
Meanwhile, the legion's orders were to enter the forest of giant trees, however no one knew why.
Eren: If the Special Operations Squad doesn't defeat that titan, who will? Kill another, we could have saved him!
Levi: Take your pick, are you going to believe in yourself, or us, the Special Operations Squad.
Eren: I trust you!
The titan reaches the trap.
Erwin: Fuegoooooo ! * all the launchers fire harpoons, penetrating, damaging and immobilizing the titan *
Eren: Don't tell me what, you want that titan to stay alive.
Eren: it can't be, did they want to capture her alive? * Look at everyone and no one knew about that plan *
Günther: Did you see it Eren? We captured that titan.
Auruo: We are the recon legion special ops team! Don't underestimate us! Do you see what we're capable of?
Petra: * smiles *
Eren: * smiles too * Yes!
Levi: It seems we have her immobilized.
Erwin: We can't let our guard down, but they did a good job bringing her here.
Levi: it was thanks to the sacrifice of the rearguard troops, we owe it to them, we would never have achieved it alone.
Erwin: Do you think?
Levi: that's right. Only thanks to them, we will be able to discover the person who is hiding behind that monster, I hope they are very scared.
End of the narration.
The soldiers were around the titan.
Eren: An abnormal, that like the colossal, wait, Commander Erwin-
Auruo: Hey, stop being distracted!
Petra: Eren, think about that later, now we need to keep moving forward!
Eren: Yes!
Izuku: Come on! * Said smiling for the success of what had just happened *
With Levi
Levi: * pulls out his blades *
Erwin: Wait Levi, we must be careful, Squad 2 and 3! Fireooooo ! * the mentioned squads shoot * Spend all the reserves !.
In the right area.
Krysta was standing on a tree branch, watching the Titans.
Krysta: Excuse me, they're starting to climb.
Soldier: Yes, if they make it here, we will probably have to fight, but I suspect that very soon, we will receive orders to withdraw.
Krysta: Are you saying it because of the explosions that were heard from the forest? Do you think that has something to do with it?
Soldier: I don't know
Left area.
Sasha: * sitting on a branch * Mikasa, what do you think those sounds are? Are they firing cannons into the forest?
My house:...
Rainer: (this is strange, I did not see that someone will carry cannons).
Ymir: What's up with this damn noise? Hey Berthold. Do you know where Krysta is?
Berthold: Sorry, I don't know.
Connie: (nothing makes sense anymore, why do we do this? I want to go home.)
With Armin.
Jean: We have to move out of here Armin!
They go to another branch as a titan had climbed almost to their height.
Jean: It looks like the bastard is getting it, he's gotten better and better at climbing trees.
Armin: that means they can learn, it's scary, that means it must be different for each titan
Jean: Armin, it seems that something is happening inside the forest and I think I have discovered what it is. The recon legion brought the titan here in order to capture her, or to be more precise, to capture the human within. That was the commander's goal.
With Eren.
Eren: That was the main goal? I understand that they didn't tell us, but why didn't they tell you? They had to know this from the beginning, how were they going to fulfill their mission?
Auruo: Shut up already!
Petra: Are you implying that the captain and the commander don't trust us ?!
Eren: N-no th-that, it's not what it seems.
Auruo: * angry * Petra shut up that kid! * Points her sword *
Izuku: * just drawing the landscape *
Auruo: Cut off his lips so I won't speak!
Erd: Eren is absolutely right.
Auruo: What?
Erd: The commander must have good reason for not revealing this to us.
Günther: What do you mean?
Erd: There is only one reason why he could not trust his comrades, the human inside the titan is a spy who is in the recon legion, there is no other explanation.
Jean: You also think the same, right? There is an infiltrator.
Armin: Yes, I suspect there is one
Günther: An infiltrator? Are you completely sure?
Erd: At least the commander and captain think that, I guess the only soldiers informed of the operation were the ones who survived 5 years ago.
Günther: I understand, that must be it.
Auruo: Yes it must be that, did you understand Eren?
Petra: * sighs * that was the only way to do it. 5 years ago, when the first wall fell, a spy must have infiltrated our ranks. Did you use that fact to define suspects?
Izuku: Not just him.
Erd: What do you mean?
Izuku: Someone must have let him in, the colossal should not have simply arrived on his own, he is also like her, like the battleship, they 3 are infiltrators, they 3 planned the 2 attacks. They killed Sawney and Bean. * He kept drawing the trees in his book, as well as drawing a few plants that he found around there *
Eren: Three?
Izuku: yes.
Eren: He means that right?
Izuku: the question you asked, they finally found an answer.
Auruo: I already knew everything, just ... I didn't tell them, does anyone know why I decided to act like this?
Petra: no.
Izuku: I don't care Mr. Auruo.
Auruo: They don't know why? Well, obviously they would not know it since people like you are not capable of discovering it, I suppose that none of you are at my level.
Petra: * looks at Auruo with contempt * Izuku * approaches him and sits next to him * What are you doing?
Izuku: I draw these trees, they are very beautiful * shows his book * also, I was able to fill their pages more * shows the pages of them * But, I still can't discover something.
Petra: Find out what? * Gets closer *
Izuku: * gets a little uncomfortable * This is why I acquired Titan powers.
Petra: that is a mystery, but for now, you will save humanity with Eren * resting her head on Izuku's shoulder * -she does not know that she is with Mikasa, she was not at the trial, and if she was, imagine that was not-
Izuku: * blushes * P-petra
Petra: * with a soft and reassuring voice * Yes? * Getting a little closer *
With Armin
The titan trying to climb fell to the ground.
Jean: I will not say that it is the right thing to do, if we had not found out before that this was Commander Erwin's plan we would have known how to react and no tantra soldiers would have died * remember Ness' *
Armin: No, he made a decision.
Jean How can you talk like that? Do you know how many soldiers have died unnecessarily?
Armin: Jean, in retrospect it is easy to say that it should have been done, but no one can say how things will happen, understand that at some point you have to make a decision, it is inevitable, the lives of your colleagues or the lives of everyone within them. walls, the commander made his choice, he decided to sacrifice hundreds of lives, he did not care.
Erd: Eren, if you still don't understand, you will soon know the reason why Erwin Smith was placed as commander of the legion of reconnaissance and also of the hope of humanity.
Petra: * still leaning on Izuku's shoulder * That's why she has the confidence of Captain Levi.
Auruo: Of course, assuming you survive long enough.
Armin: I still don't have experience in life, but if I understand one thing well, there are people who can make a change and they are capable of giving up the most important thing, their humanity, when they want to rise above the Titans , they should stop that. People who cannot abandon everything cannot change the world.
With Erwin
Erwin: * points his gun * Fireooooo! * A launcher shoots him in the left buttock *
Hanji: What do you think? Even if the spikes bite you or you try to scratch, you won't be able to move again, damn beast, perfect. With this, the more your wounds heal, the stiffer your joints will become. Although, why haven't they taken the soldier out inside his neck? I don't understand why Levi.
Levi and Mike attack, but the Titan hardens her hands and the blades break.
Then Levi goes to Erwin's side and Mike lands on a branch, looks at Erwin and makes a nod.
Erwin: (Apparently, it has the ability to harden parts of its body to cover, similar to the ability of the armored titan or Izuku's, if we continue to attack with our blades, will we be able to weaken it? There is no time to try) * ago a signal and a soldier arrives *
Soldier: Sir.
Erwin: Prepare the explosives, we'll blow up your hands.
Soldiers: yes, however sir, there is a chance that our artillery will end up killing the person inside the titan, then everyone aim for the wrists * puts his hand on his shoulder * I want all the soldiers to fire at my signal .
Soldier: Understood
He goes to the artillery and makes a sign to them, they understand and begin to load the explosives.
Levi: * on top of Titan's head * Hey, you really won't get out of that thing? I remind you that we don't have all day, tell me what do you think is going to happen with you now? Do you really think you can escape? That would be underestimating us, I would like you to think about all the problems you have caused, if I am not mistaken you killed many of my subordinates, tell me, does this seem funny to you? Now I'm the one having fun, well you think the same as me, I'm sure you understand perfectly how I feel, by the way, there is something I want to ask you, Is it okay if I cut your faces and legs? Monster? * he says with a slightly gloomy face * They will grow you back right? I am talking about your real body, although I will have problems if you end up dead ...
The titan opens her mouth and a few seconds later, she lets out a great scream.
T.H: WUAAAAAAAA ! WUAAAAAAAA ! AAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAH! * during these screams, the air was so strong that some branches fell, the soldiers covered their ears and obviously the whole forest heard it and was scared *
Levi: * draws his swords * Bastard, you want to scare me?
Soldier: Was that a cry of despair?
Mike: * lands next to Erwin * Erwin I smell them!
Erwin: From where?
Mike: From everywhere, there are too many
Erwin: What? * Is amazed *
With Jean.
The Titans who want to eat them started running towards the forest.
Jean: What the hell is wrong with them? They're running into the woods! Why are detergent ignoring us?
Connie: Does that mean all those titans are abnormal?
Soldier: It doesn't matter! Don't let them pass ! The fight begins !
All the soldiers defending the surroundings are launched against the Titans.
Mikasa: * draws his swords * What is noise? * He was going to go in that direction but someone is stopping him *
Sasha: * scared * Wait Mikasa, I've heard screams like that before, I heard them in the forest where I'm from, it's the noise that a cornered animal makes to renounce everything, they taught me that at the end of a hunt is when you have to have more careful.
Mikasa: Are you telling me to be careful?
Sasha: Please be more careful than usual! You will die if you don't!
Mikasa: I also lived on a mountain, you know?
Sasha: Picking vegetables on a farm is different!
Mikasa: Sure (it's true that Sasha's instincts never fail and usually that happens before something bad happens, Armin said that Eren and Izuku could be in the back of the center row as I recall)
The first horde of Titans was approaching.
Erwin: Quick! Get the artillery ready!
A group of soldiers attacked, but the Titans passed them.
Soldier: Are they abnormal?
Soldier 2: The Titans have broken through !
Levi: * stepping on the titan's head * Hey bastard, did you just do something?
He throws his harpoon and jumps, then the 2 Titans were dead. A small Titan manages to pass and begins to eat the Titan's leg.
Erwin: Are they devouring the female titan?
Then watch and see 10 Titans.
Soldier: There are too many ! They come from everywhere!
Erwin: Soldiers! Face the enemy! You must protect the female titan!
All the soldiers are launched to attack, killing one by one the Titans, but each time more arrived.
Erwin: Soldiers retired! Abandon the objective! And return to the Caranes district!
After a few minutes the Titans ate the female titan and they were all exhausted.
Erwin: We were defeated.
Levi: So it was in vain, idiot it didn't work, this shows that the enemy was prepared to lose everything. And to think that she preferred to be eaten so that we would not know who she was.
Levi: After all those things we said in court, was this the result? What will become of us if we only go back to Eren and Izuku?
Erwin: We can discuss that at the base, for now we should focus on returning without taking casualties. For now, the steam is affecting visibility, it could hamper our smoke communications.
Levi: I'll call my squad.
Erwin: Wait Levi, you must go refill your team's gas.
Levi: We don't have time, I also have enough, why?
Erwin: It's an order, obey.
Levi: Okay Erwin, understood, I always trust your judgment.
They begin to emit blue smoke signals, which means retreat.
On the right.
Soldier: It is the signal, we must retreat and return to the base riding.
Jean: But what? Is it all over already?
Connie: Great! We can go back!
Mikasa: (What is happening? And Izuku?)
With Izuku.
Günther: It seems that it is finished Let's go back to the horses! Prepare the reiterated one!
Auruo: You heard, now we will go see what the bastard that was inside the disgusting titan looks like.
Eren: I can't believe we made it.
Petra: All thanks to you Eren.
Eren: W-what? II didn't do anything.
Petra: You believed in us, remember? In that instant, the choice you made brought us to this result, sometimes it is difficult to make a decision. But you did the right thing.
Auruo: Hey, stop coddling brat Petra.
Izuku: * didn't say anything *
Auruo: What the hell did he help us with? All he did was fuss like a pathetic baby. I suppose living alive would be a compliment, but only after the mission is over. Listen idiot, an expedition doesn't end until you get home.
Eren: Yes, I get it sir.
Izuku: Eren, you made a good decision, thank you * shakes her hand to make her stand up *
Eren: Yes! * Stops *
Everyone was already leaving.
Günther: Auruo! Petra! For a couple who wet their pants in their first battle, it's grown a lot!
Petra: * gets angry and blushes since izuku was next to her * Aaaaaah! Don't say that! Do you want us to lose respect !?
E and I: * turn around in disbelief as they thought it was a lie *
Eren: Is that true?
Günther: That's true, in my case I never wet myself Eren.
Auruo: Insolent! I'm the one who has killed the most Titans! I'm the best!
Izuku: I'm 6 short and I hit your record Mr. Auruo!
Auruo: That a child already reaches Mir record?! * Angry *
Günther: Having a good death record doesn't make you a better soldier.
Auruo: Shut up!
Izuku: Easy!
Erd: Calm down now! Do you think you're resting? We're outside the walls! Besides, I didn't wet myself guys either.
Someone, somewhere, was throwing a green flare.
Erd: What's that? Let's go to the captain! Let's not talk until we get home! * Stands on a branch and fires the smoke signal *
The stranger starts looking for someone.
Hanji: Erwin, why did you order Levi to refill gas? We do not have time.
Erwin: They devoured the female titan but did you see anyone else get eaten by the Titans? I did not see anyone.
Hanji: It means ...
Erwin: Yes, if that person can move easily, even though he has transformed, it should not have been difficult for him to hide in our ranks, also if he brought his maneuvering equipment in advance, that means that now
Wear one of our uniforms
Günther: * sees the stranger * Captain Levi? I don't think so, it is the Who are you !?
The stranger changes direction, killing Günther.
Eren: Mr. Günther?! * Approaches and sees that he is dead *
Erwin: now the enemy has mixed with the rest of the soldiers
