Chains of Duty
Walking back and forwards in the little village outside Trost district, protected by wall Rose, Alan paced, worry etched in his posture, thinking on the events that happened, Eren being a titan was one on the front of his mind.
Speaking of Eren, the Garrison took his unconscious body somewhere, ordering everyone to keep out, ordering to keep what happened a secret from the populace to prevent panic. Mikasa and Armin aren't with them, assuming now that they are with Eren, protecting and defending their family. Alan hates being in the dark about things, it irritates him more knowing he couldn't waltz into what the Garrison are doing just to find out.
Watching from the side Annie piped up "Could you stop moving, your annoying me with your pacing" making Alan to stop his pacing.
"Sorry Annie, you know how I hate being kept out of the loop when it concerns Eren and..." Stopping for a brief moment, his thoughts laid onto Mikasa.
"She will be ok Alan, besides don't forget our conversation earlier in the HQ" Annie stated, her expression relaxed. She is concerned for Alan, not that she sees him in that way, like a friend she can count on but due to their position it will be difficult. When the time comes, she hopes it will end well for him.
His posture relaxing, breathing calmly as he watches various cadets walking about, some scrunched up, not wanting to see another titan again, some are relieved that they are out of there, but knowing that if the colossal or the armoured titans appears, they be dead. Fear is oozing out of every corner, it's quite suffocating.
"Where's Reiner?" Alan questioned, noticing the absence. Annie simply shrugged not particularly caring where he went, preferring to lean against the wall in silence, shaking his head he walked about in search for him.
Meeting upon Christa and Ymir, her smile brightening up the little area around her, her aura calms the nearby cadets, feeling some form of safety.
"Hey guys, you seen Reiner or Bertholdt?" Alan asked.
"Why would we see that big oaf" Ymir harshly spoke before falling silent by Christa glare.
"Ymir!" Christa chastising her "Sorry Alan, I haven't seen Reiner at all since we were ordered here." Christa said smiling, yet her smile didn't meet her eyes.
"Are you ok Christa?" Alan asked again, the day have been draining to say the least, even a kind woman like Christa can have her moments, but he admired how she kept that smile on her face even in the toughest of times.
"I'm ok, I'm just worried for everyone, it is like they lost all hope, I wish we could do something to help instead of just sitting around doing nothing" Christa quietly said, Alan sympathised with her, it's not a good feeling knowing that they could do something instead of being forced to do nothing. Alan said his farewell before continuing his search.
Coming across a familiar cadet, his head bald, being accompanied by the girl with golden brown hair, knotted in a long ponytail, embroidered to lap over her shoulder they rescued, what's her name? Dizzy or something.
"Bruno" the man's eyes darting upwards, the girl giving her attention as well. "Have you seen Reiner?"
"Can't say I have Alan" looking around himself to see if he can spot the large man "Do you know what's happening right now?"
"I'm just as clueless as you, would Garrus know?" Alan stoically said, now that he mentioned it where is Garrus.
As if reading his mind "Garrus went off somewhere…. Private with Sasha." Bruno scratching the back of his head, the girl next him cheeks going red, but her face looked to Alan, as if she has something.
"Is Reiner the tall, brawny guy with Blonde hair?" Izzy asked, nodding with confirmation from Alan. "I saw him with another taller guy with black hair going down the street that way, something about that rogue titan"
Tensing at her words Alan eyes darted down the street, the big guy not in sight but at least he knows the general direction where he needs to go. "Thanks, erm, what is you name sorry?", Alan learned to be polite when people help, might as well start somewhere.
"Izzy" the small girl smiled "Hope you find him; we just be waiting for Garrus to come back?" shifting her glance in question to Bruno, he can only shrug to the question.
Shaking his head, nor is he surprised that Garrus couldn't keep the urge in his pants, not that he can blame them, with their brushes with death, knowing it might be their last.
Strolling down the streets once again, now he had a direction, he quickened his steps, bumping into Connie on the way.
"Hey watch…Oh hey Alan, weird day huh?" Connie grinned towards Alan "Who would of thought about Eren." Laughing awkwardly, worried about the recent events that transpired.
"You do realise we are not allowed to talk about that in public" Alan pointed out, glancing about to see any Garrison soldiers are nearby.
"Yeah, I know, but hell, it's weird right, I mean he would have told us if he had that kind of power?" Connie didn't like the feeling, I mean aren't they supposed to be friends after all, why keep such a secret.
"I doubt he even knew Connie, he did despise titans with full prejudice" Alan hummed, can only be logical, why hate something to its very core and be like them, he couldn't really understand why Connie would think he knew about something like this.
"You may be right" Connie eyes suddenly widened "WAIT! What if we are like him and we don't even know about it" patting himself down, an amusing sight to behold seeing him panic for quite a bit, maybe that's why the Garrison Captain ordered not to say anything, expecting this reaction would be common.
"Calm down Connie, I'm hundred percent sure your Human" Alan calmed the frantic small man, his eye raised as he watches Connie calm a bit. "Have you seen Reiner?"
"Asking the Genius for directions? He went over there, talking to Bertholdt" Connie pointing over the two standing by a wall, as if having a private discussion.
"Thanks Connie" Alan patting his back as he proceeds forward, his eyes narrowing as he got close.
"Reiner, what are we to do?" Bertholdt whispered, nervous of the situation, they haven't expected Eren to be a titan, this put them in a difficult position since Eren's sister is Mikasa.
"We have to wait, we need more information" Reiner contemplated, unaware of the incoming individual, now staring at them.
Clearing his throat, the two turned to Alan, startled as if being caught having a not so subtle conversation. Once Reiner saw who grabbed their attention, his face relaxed, smiling nervously.
"Alan, can you imagine, Eren of all people" Reiner laughing nervously, looking at his face, Alan is not amused.
"What information are we talking about Reiner?" Alan asked sternly, his eyes narrowed "Why acting so jumpy, when everyone with good awareness can hear you two talk about something, we shouldn't"
"We didn't mean anything by it, Alan" Bertholdt quickly jumping in "We just surprised about the situation, that's all"
"Yeah, I just don't like it, of all times we have someone who can be a titan." Reiner calmly spoke, Alan can tell something subtle under his words, but thought nothing of it.
"I know, it makes me uneasy, is he our ally or an enemy." Alan stoically said, his emotions masked once again "We just have to focus on the wall for the time being, whatever the Garrison command give out, we must follow it" Bertholdt and Reiner nodded to his statement, pointless doing anything unless the orders come through, all those lives loss would be pointless if they can't turn it around.
"Your right as always, say how's Annie?" Reiner questioned, changing the subject.
"As fine as she can be, just being herself" Alan shrugged, before he can continue a huge explosion erupted near the walls, steam and smoke colliding with each other in the air. 'What the?' Alan thought, before realisation that Mikasa is there as well, chastising himself, he chose to disobey orders and head to the location, along with Jean who decided as well from a distance.
"Alan wait!" Reiner called out, before forcing himself to follow, Bertholdt included. Not long after those nearby went to investigate the explosion, some panicking assuming the wall have been breached.
Reaching to the nearby roofs overlooking the gate, Alan's surprised took another turn as he is looking down at a half steaming titan, its arm outstretched as if blocking something. The eye glaring towards the populace as if threatening to consume them all, fear polluted from the Garrison soldiers.
Instinctively Alan activated his ODM and flew over the barricade of soldiers, Kitz ordering that Cadet to stop or face court martial but his voice went ignored as Alan, combat roll on is landing disappearing into the steam.
"ALAN! What the fuck you doing" Reiner screamed, shocked and angry that Alan would disobey orders and jumping into the arms of the titan which could attack. Hearing thuds to his right, Sasha and Garrus, panting for breath coming to see what happened.
Reiner looked down towards Garrus and all thoughts of Alan erased for a brief moment, looking away with Bertholdt nervously sweating towards the awkwardness. Noticing this Sasha followed their eyes and looked to her side before covering her face with her hands muttering how stupid Garrus is.
"What?" Garrus asked his eyes confused at their distress "Yes I know there's a steaming shit of a titan, it can be terrifying but calm down."
"Garrus" Reiner calmly said, not looking at him anymore but towards the Alan's disappearance, he caused quite a stir amongst the Garrison soldiers as their shock added to see a cadet diving headfirst into the steam. "You're not wearing any pants."
Blinking once or twice Garrus looked down to see himself wearing only his boots, unsure how he is not wearing his uniform write trousers, escapes his intellect. 'Well shit' before acting like nothing happened, standing there watching the scene unfold ignoring all comments at his boldness.
The immediate area of the half-transformed titan is suffocating as the heat pours into the lungs. Mikasa coughing badly as Armin got on his knees, finding it hard to breath, hearing a thud nearby Mikasa drawn her blade, ready to defend, relaxing to see Alan emerging before them.
"Alan! What are doing here" Mikasa gasped in surprise. Her heart beating, as her mind happy to see him again. Yet the happiness didn't reach her lips as her concern was for Eren, missing amongst them.
"Could ask you the same thing" Alan asked cheekily before scanning around "Where's Eren?" before Mikasa can say anything they can hear a panic grunt above, their eyes darted upwards, seeing Eren trying to free himself from the nape of the beast.
Narrowing his eyes, Alan can see his arm trapped in some flesh, heading to Eren with a swing of the hook, landing next to him.
"Alan!" Eren exclaimed 'That must be the fifth time someone calls my name in surprise' Alan mused. "I'm stuck, I can't get free" Eren pulling as hard as he could.
Alan held onto his upper arm, ready to pull with "Breath Eren, relax, it should be easy to pull free if you just relax" Alan instructed, nodding Eren breathed, relaxing his muscles before the two pull and the flesh releasing him from his prison, both falling to land on their feet, Eren more likely on his ass.
"Eren!" Mikasa called out, hugging him before inspecting any damage.
"Cut it out Mikasa, I'm fine, just…" Looking up to the rib cage overlapping their spot before hearing shouts from the outside "They loading another shot, you guys have to escape" Eren, quickly said realising that because Mikasa and Armin stood by him, they may consider them traitors.
"What you mean they shot at you?" Alan harshly spoke, Mikasa staying quiet, Armin thinking a way.
"They don't believe I'm human and just shot a cannon at us, I just bit my hand and this thing just came out of nowhere" Eren said. Alan eyes alarmed at his words; he bit his hand?
"Why they consider Mikasa and Armin traitors for standing with a human?" Alan muttered "Then that means they may think of me as one"
"I didn't ask for this, besides why did you come?" Eren questioned, not understanding why he would jump into their aid.
"Because you guys are my friends and well…" Alan's head nodding to Mikasa, Eren gets that he wants to protect those he cherish, especially Mikasa more than anything, still it be a good competition between her and Reiner.
"Get them out of here Alan, please for me" Eren begged, not wanting his friends hurt or die for him, to his dismay Mikasa and Alan both said no, Armin in his moment of thinking overload.
"Let me talk to them Eren" Armin said, this is a gamble he has to make, he could convince them "Just give me time" before Armin starts to walk out the protection of steam, heavy protests from Eren, Alan holding him back to prevent any more damage caused.
Armin leaving them behind, his mind is racing, what should he say, before emerging, he discarded his ODM gear, just to show he isn't going to run. Emerging from the steam before holding his hands up in the air.
Fear hit the garrison as Captain Kitz ordering the blonde to stop, Guns raised as Armin showed himself.
"You finally shown your true colours you monsters!" Kitz bellowed "Come any closer I will signal the next shot to your death!" to show his point he pointed to the cannon, aiming in on their location. "You and your collaborators will be killed, even that cadet that flown in will be considered traitors"
"He isn't the enemy of mankind!" Armin sternly shouted back, his eyes firing up with determination to protect his friends "We are willing to share all intelligence we've gathered!"
"Begging won't save you! He revealed his true colours right in front of us, there is nothing you can say that would disprove that" Kits bellowed back, fear taking hold of all sense and logic. "But if he is what you say, PROVE IT, if you cannot then we will open fire!"
Rage heating up inside Armin, Kitz is baiting him to make excuses "There's no need for further proof! The issue isn't how we see him!"
Taken aback from the cadet's words Kitz screamed for clarification, it is absurd that there shouldn't be any need for proof.
"You said everyone saw him! Then they have must've seen him fighting the titans too, and also the titans ganging up against him as well" Armin screaming his lungs back, seeing some of the garrisons soldiers faces, conflicted, Armin is right, they did see Titan Eren fight against and be attacked from the titans, not once did he attack a human.
"The titans see him as prey, just like the rest of Mankind! Nothing you can say will change that fact" Armin continued.
Alan, Mikasa and Eren hearing his words from the steam, Mikasa unconsciously holding onto Alan's hand as they listened, hoping what Armin is saying will make sense into the idiots that would fearfully shoot them without logical reasoning.
Silence emerged as amongst the Garrison hesitated, agreeing with Armin's words, as they lowered their weapons, even the riflemen in front of Kitz, lowered their weapons as if in agreement.
Conflicted, Captain Kitz battled against his fear of the unknown, eternal conflict raging inside his mind, His eyes snapping open "PREPARE TO ATTACK!" waving his blade to the side "DON'T FALL FOR THIS CLEVER TRAP"
Eren, seething in rage, yet hold back due to his friends nearby, Alan feeling something tightening around his right hand, but his focus is on the next shot that soon be coming, why the hell did he jump into this mess, he should be watching from a far watching this FUBAR situation from afar, looking to his right, seeing Mikasa's own concern furrowing her brows, gritting her teeth in aggravation, 'Oh right' Alan sighed, noticing the source of the tightness as Mikasa's hand squeezed around his. Not the great time to be flattered.
Not hearing Kitz speech, but they definitely hear the blades at attention and the guns raised trained on them, the Garrison consumed in their uncertainty and fear, willing to kill them over their fear of the unknown.
'Fools, they know nothing of the unknown' Alan's features darkened, his eyes glanced to his kneeled left leg, the knife screeching for release, to show them what the world truly is.
Mikasa, watching Alan on the corner of her eye, seeing his expression darkened, his dark blue's staring intently towards his knife, before squeezing his hand to let him know she is here for him. His eyes closed as they are removed from that cursed object, his expression stoic but darkened, first time Mikasa felt something is not right, but given their situation, she feels the same.
Armin, a loss for words, believing the Captain is beyond logically thinking, looked back through the steam, to catch their faces, the three trusting in him. Armin growing the need to protect, willing to give his heart to those that have faith in him.
In a swift single movement Armin placed his right arm on his heart, straitening his back, his salute to Humanity tall and proud.
"As a Soldier, I swore to devote my heart to the resurrection of mankind! There is no Greater Glory than dying for that belief! If we added his Titan power to the might of our armies, it might be even possible to recapture the Town!" Armin bellowed, the Garrison soldiers taken aback at his outburst, uncertain on what to do.
"For the Glory of the Human race, I beg you! In my final moments before I Die, permit me to explain his strategic importance!" Finishing his words, closing his eyes, holding his posture and salute to best his heart is willing to give. Armin is willing to give his all even his life to save his friends.
Silence came once again as the tense atmosphere, taken aback from this Young cadet's devotion to Humanity.
One Garrison had the gall to consider their request before Kitz ordered Silence, raising his arm to fire, only to be stopped by an old Bald man with a fine moustache, his uniform with a red sash signalling importance.
"Cut it out already" The man spoke, his voice deep, "You haven't changed Kitz, as big as you act, you still act like a scared fawn".
Kitz recognising his voice, froze in place, staring into the eyes of Dot Pixis, leader of the southern wall of wall Rose.
"Can't you see how magnificent his salute is? A true soldier willing to give his heart to Humanity." Pixis's smile genuine as he watches the four now clear in front of his eyes. "Go organize the troops, I will have to listen to what they have to say" even now Kitz is protesting against them, Pixis ignored the scared fawn, his orders are clear enough, he would have no choice but to follow.
Pixis now marching with his personal troops, towards the four as the four begin to stand at attention. Now inspecting each one to the upmost, he noticed on his way to them, the Blonde shorty still holding his posture as if to shocked to even move, the brown-haired titan boy, his hand was close to his mouth.
If Pixis have to guess he was prepared to transform if Kitz had his way, how fortunate he came in just in time, gazing to the Asian in his little stroll, my she is pretty, seeing her right hand gripping on the blade, she was prepared for a fight to the death.
His attention and interest piqued seeing to the tall lad to her left, his left hand gripping on the unsheathe knife, held in a reverse grip, what he would do with that little thing, Pixis is intrigued but will never know but Pixis is also aware how strong and fast this young lad is, seeing the cadet reports from the instructors, he enjoyed reading them for a pass time. Apparently, this lad wouldn't use that knife unless it's dire and life threatening. How lucky he was to intervene; they would have been a waste of life to lose.
He stood in front waiting for them to reorganise themselves as the four stood at attention waiting for him to speak. From what he heard these three was already held off at the gates at gun point, the taller lad on the other hand, disobeyed orders and when the titan emerged, he dived right into the husk disobeying further orders.
Turning to his attention "May I ask, what your reasoning is to interfere with Military business hmm? Disobeying orders and rushing to their aid during a time they are considered a threat. That would have been a firing line with your name on it" Pixis stated, curious in his reasons.
"I needed to protect my friend's sir, Eren helped us in our time of need, it wouldn't sit well with me to leave him to his fate" Alan replied his face as stone.
Pixis gave an amused grunt "Yes, devoted your faith to them, I like your tastes after all" giving a wink as he walked over to Armin.
Alan is very confused; did he see through him? Until a little heavy feeling in his right-hand drawn Alan's focus, slightly shifting his sight to see both his and Mikasa's hands still entwined, a slight hurdle in his heart gave way to his blood, as they both subconsciously held onto each other, Mikasa cheeks reddening, she doesn't even need to look to know what she is holding. Non the less her face fixed forward as her eyes followed Pixis and the soldiers around her, taking note and being aware of where they are.
"I admire your devotion Cadet" Pixis admired the blonde, he has a way with words "Name?"
"104th Cadet Armin Artlert sir!" Armin responded, saluting once again.
Pixis grunted in amusement again "I can't help but overhear the strategic importance of having a titan ally, to recapture Trost." Pixis looking the cadet over, seeing any truth behind his words. Alan had a feeling this guy can see right through any lie they throw.
"Tell me Cadet Artlert, honest truth, Do you truly believe his importance or was you grasping at straws and hoped for the best?" A twinkle in the Commander's eyes as he awaits Armin's reply, apparently his answer relies heavily between them and a firing squad.
"Honestly sir, bit of both at the time" Armin firmly replied looking him in the eye.
A moment passed until Pixis laughed "Ah, I like a bit of honesty, tells a man's character" Turning his back "I wish to have the titan boy up on the walls as soon as possible, Artlert will join the rest of the cadets, But those two, will be sent to the Elite squad, as they seem inseparable" After this Pixis marched off, taking a flask out of his pocket, taking a swig out of it.
A deep breath inhaled and sooner exhaled by the four, as they watch the Commander Pixis march off with his retinue.
"That was something" Armin joked; disbelief washed his face as the southern commander believed him in his half-truth.
Eren turning his head to Mikasa "Wonder what he meant by you two being inseparable" noticing the redness of her cheeks grew more, his eyes darted between them "Oh" amusing that's the only word to come out of his mouth. Smiling at their discomfort, his face now turning serious "I best head to the top of the wall" nodding he quickly jogged to where Pixis is going, something tells Eren Pixis wants a private chat with the man.
Armin said his farewell as he left to find the others and tell them what's going on, knowing Reiner would want to know what is happening now with Alan concerned.
Leaving both Alan and Mikasa alone, hands still intwined. Realising this, they release each other, their blushes evident on their faces. "I'm glad it turned out this way" Mikasa spoke breaking the silence.
"What? That we still alive or that you was holding my hand?" Alan joked, receiving a smile from Mikasa.
"Both" amused at catching by surprise yet again with her words only.
"I see you two lovebirds are the ones I need to collect" Hearing the familiar voice of Ian Dietrich "The commander will be giving a speech, you two since your both the best will be with the Elite team, our job will be crucial if we ever to succeed" his face now serious and stern, this man means business. Taking the two to the top of the wall towards the other Elite members.
The rest of the Cadets and Garrison soldiers were ordered to stand at attention, as they await, already told that they are going to recapture Trost. Murmurs and fear spread through out the ranks, Reiner standing firm, being told from Armin about Alan. He's not happy but thankful he got out alright, amused he got out of trouble for doing something stupid, a feeling in his gut speaks that Alan went in only for Mikasa.
'That woman will ruin him' the thought came to him as quick as it comes when his attention is drawn from soldier's hesitation.
Daz especially Refusing to march back into hell, Marco trying to calm and quiet him, Daz preferring to be cut down by a blade than being devoured by titans.
Jean and Bertholdt listening to their words, the two girls in front already wanting not to. One garrison soldier egged them to cause a scene, as he stated that many garrison soldiers disagree, claiming with as many people rebel, they can escape in the chaos.
Things about to be heated up, as Garrus, irritated by the cowardice, ignoring the awkward stares at him, if he were to die, he do it on his terms and comfortable as he pleased. Sasha still standing beet red next to him.
Izzy and Bruno are also hesitant, they prefer not to go on a suicide mission without any plan from the higher ups.
From atop the wall Pixis stepped forward at the edge, gazing down at the soldiers threatening to abandon their posts. Inhaling a deep breath.
"ATTENTION!" at the top of his lungs, all soldiers forgotten their thought as they watched the commander about to speak.
"I will now Elaborate on the plan to recapture Trost district" having their attention he continued "The objective of this plan is to seal the hole in the destroyed gate."
Murmurs raised again, disbelief, doubt, everyone can sense it, seeming like an impossible task, yet they waited for more elaboration.
"I will now explain how we will seal the hole" pointing his arm to Eren as Eren steps forward "Belonging to the training corps, this is Eren Yeager" Eren giving a salute, his face serious.
Shock washed over Jean and Garrus, all who are in the 104th froze at his name.
"He is a product of successful top-secret Titan transformation research. He is capable of generating a Titan body and moving it according to his will" Pausing for effect before Pixis continues "IN his titan form he will lift the large boulder and move it to the hole in the gate, sealing it"
Eyes fixed on the soldiers below, about to tell them their only objective "Your Duty… Is to protect him from other Titans until he moved the boulder and sealing the gate"
Silence roamed once more, as people murmur the plan yet again.
To no one's surprise Daz spoke out "YOUR LYING! I will not risk my life for some stupid reason like that" looking to the sky, spilling his fears and heart as if the heavens would listen "Who do you think we are? Disposable blades to be discarded"
Murmurs raised once more, people in agreement, they do not want to die, nor will they believe that Eren can do such a thing.
Alan narrowed his eyes at the cowards, he expected Daz to be like that, but the rest. The one chance they have, and they will not risk it all to save those behind these walls. His anger rising as he watched people turning around to leave and abandon their posts. Mikasa watches his face furrowed through a lot of emotions, she too was angry, but the darkness in his eyes, she hate to see that, placing her hand round his once more, comforting silently, it's the only privacy she can do to calm.
Duty. Isn't this what they sworn to do, devoting their hearts for the betterment of humanity, what good is Duty if they abandon everything they stood for. Duty… the word laid sour on Alan's thoughts, the damn word feels like a chain, latching onto him, unable to be free. Duty… he has a Duty for something far bigger. Feeling the only freedom, he could have at the palm of his hand. Duty… how he hates that word with a passion.
Seeing some Officers ready to execute those that are abandoning the mission, Pixis forcing to prevent anymore loss once more.
"Heed my command! Those who desert now will all be pardoned" Pixis knew he is asking them to go to their deaths "Once a man surrenders to their fear of Titans, they will no longer fit for battle" Pixis face unfazed "Those who have experience that fear are free to leave. Furthermore, those of you who want your parents, siblings and loved ones to experience that same fear for themselves can also leave."
Alan tensed at his words, he's using their love for their family, playing with their hearts, putting the guilt on those that are leaving, family is important, Alan know this all too well, he will die for his, he will die to see Reiner, Bertholdt. He will see them both home at the end of this stupid war.
Pixis acknowledged the thousands that died four years ago at the recapture of wall Maria, there was no plan, just an excuse to get rid of the many that the government wouldn't have to spend to keep them fed. Sacrificing lambs to the wolves a sin they all have to bare.
Ian now instructed Eren and the group to head along the walls to the destination before entering the district. Mikasa worrying for Alan, something is not right, as his eyes sullen, his signature eye raise, his spark that everything will be alright is not there. Something Pixis have said must have triggered unwanted memories stirring within him. She knew about the titan that nearly killed him when he was young, he must have witnessed a lot of death, she will have to make sure he be alive at the end of this.
She will be his strength as he was for her in their darkest moments.
Alan, feeling his heart grow heavy at the words spoken through his mind, thousands have died, no tactical advantage, just pointless deaths. Is this the world he is born into. The hand that reached flashed before his eyes. The Armoured Titan. Yes, this is the world he is born into.
Pixis stated it won't be the Titans that will be the end of Mankind, no, the end will result will be towards the Humans that lived within, if wall Rose fall, those inside Wall Sina would not be able to sustain refugees and the remaining population. It will be pure chaos. Human against Human, killing for what remaining food is left. This is not the result he wants. He will die trying but not willing to die easily, He has a promise to keep. A promise he will see through.
The counterattack for Humanity begins now. With each step they take back from the titans.
The recapture of Trost will signal the first victory for Humanity.
