I looked out across the ghost town and towards the Titans that stood there. They all stared at us as their ring leader stared at us. My heart was pounding in my chest from the anxiety that began to swim through my bloodstream. I wasn't able to recall a previous moment where I was as afraid as I was in this exact moment.
"Erwin, the armoured titan is climbing towards us." Levi spoke. I turned my head to see that Reiner was getting back onto his feet in his titan form. The armoured titan stood up and began to run towards the wall. He slammed his foot into the wall that we were standing on. The armoured titan then dug his hands into the wall and began to slowly scale upwards towards us.
"Everyone, avoid conflict with the armoured titan! Don't go near him! Understood!" Erwin ordered us to keep our distance. "That Quadrupted type titan must possess intelligence as well. No…it wouldn't be surprising if there were even more of them." I looked at the titan that was standing on all fours beside the beast titan. It was carrying cargo on its back and stood obediently. "It seems the scale of the enemy's forces is bigger than we predicted." The beast titan raised its right fist and slammed it onto the ground as he roared loudly. The smaller titans ranging from two to three meter titans began to run forward and towards the town where some of our soldiers and horses were placed.
"They're moving!" Hanji yelled. "A large group of two to three meter class is approaching!"
"Co..Commander! The armoured titan will be here soon! And we still don't know where Bertolt is…" Armin stuttered.
"Yes, I'm aware of that." I looked over at Erwin and anyone could see that the gears in his head were turning. He was trying to think of what to do next. What was our next call of action? Erwin let out a 'tsk' sound as he looked upwards towards the sky.
"So you finally feel like saying something? I should have finished earlier with my breakfast when I could." Levi spoke about his missed breakfast nonchalantly.
"Dirk squad and Malene squad, group up with Klaus squad at the inner gate! Protect the horses with your lives! Hangi and Levi squads! Take down the armoured titan! Every squad must use their lightning spears when commanded to do so. No matter what, we must accomplish our objective! This moment! This battle! It is for the very fate of humanity! Let us now offer up our hearts for humanity's sake!" Erwin yelled out his orders to us. Dirk, Malene and Klaus' squads all jumped off the walls and headed down to where they needed to be yelling,
"Yes!" I turned around with the rest of the squad and was about to head towards the armoured titan, but I stopped when I heard Erwin speak to Levi,
"You stay here, Levi."
"You want me to protect the horses instead of protecting Eren?" Levi questioned.
"Exactly and look for a chance to take that titan out. The beast titan…you're the only one I can entrust with killing him."
"Understood. With his head I will make amends for failing to kill that armoured brat earlier." Levi looked over at me, but his facial expression didn't change. Without a single word I watched him jump off the top of the wall and head down towards the titans that he now had to kill. I clenched my jaw as I turned around and jumped off the wall to follow Eren and the others.
"Hanji, what's the plan?" I asked as I met up with the rest of the squad.
"Commander Erwin has given me orders!" Armin's voice rang as he met up with us on top of a roof of a random house. "We have to use Eren as bait to protect the horses. He will turn into a titan and run the opposite direction – in hopes that Reiner will follow him instead of killing the horses." Armin explained.
"So Erwin has decided that if the armoured titan decides to go for the horses, Eren would go around and cut to the direction of Trost district?" Hanji asked. Armin nodded his head in agreement. "Alright, I see where he's going with this. Even if things don't go exactly that well, this plan will allow Eren a way to escape, which will confuse the enemy, and they will have to break their siege. Question remains whether the armoured titan can read that far into the plan."
"It it's him we're talking about, he probably can." Eren spoke more to himself than the rest of us.
"Okay! Let's go greet our enemy in the Trost district!" Hanji yelled.
"Please wait! There is one more thing you should be aware of." We all halted and turned to look back at Armin. "The Colossal titan is still lurking around somewhere. Last time Eren was a step away from cornering the armoured titan, but then he took a devastating surprise attack from the Colossal titan and was taken away. It's simple counter measure, but let's fight in a location that's distant form the wall."
"Alright! Now that we know what we're doing – we need to get started!" Hanji ordered. "We shall move in two more blocks and then Eren will transform in the middle of the road and start running. We can't really plan out what we're going to do after that, but make sure to be aware of your surroundings at all times."
"Yes!" We yelled as we followed Hanji down the street. Once we were happy with where we were we then stopped and told Eren to take his position. Once he turned into his titan we watched him turn around and begin to head for the back of the wall. Reiner stood on top of the wall and looked back at Eren. We watched as he stood up and jumped down onto the ground. He was going to fight Eren. Which means we had a chance to kill him once and for all.
I AM SO SORRY FOR GOING MIA! PLEASE FORGIVE ME! Basically, I'm so swamped with uni, practice, volunteering and all that good stuff! I don't know if I'll have a chapter for you guys next Monday because I have my biggest competition for this year this weekend and I'll be away for the weekend. BUT I WILL TRY MY BEST TO GET IT DONE! But if I don't then know that after next week...it's going back to regular Monday postings!
Also, it's a little hard to write when the past few updates haven't really given me much to work with, but let's hope I will have some sort of inspiration! If you have any ideas then just let me know?
Remember to leave a review! :D
