The next day, the sky was mostly clear, the sun was shining lightly and it was a good day for everyone.
Early in the morning, Takashi and Eren along with their group observed the members of the Survey corps riding from the side of the road.
First they saw Erwin Smith, commander of the Survey corps, riding a white horse. Then there were two captains on either side of him, Hange Zoe, who wears glasses and has long brown hair, which he always wears tied back in a ponytail, Mike Zacharius, who is said to be the second strongest after Levi, was someone stocky and very tall, his hair had a blond hue, small amber eyes.
"So that's Captain Levi, the strongest in this world." Takashi thought to himself. As he was looking at Captain Levi, Captain Levi turned his gaze to where Takashi was standing.
Unnoticed by Takashi, Levi opened his eyes in surprise. However, he then shook his head and concentrated on moving forward.
"Commander Erwin, you must finish off the titans!"
"Let's go!"
"Return in glory!"
People on both sides of the street applauded the scouting corps. After losing much of the human territory, life is not as good as before.
It's a bit ironic to say that after the humans lost the Wall of Mary, some people began to have expectations for the Survey Corps, and no longer thought it was pointless to die outside the wall.
Not for nothing did they say that hope was the last thing to die, as long as there is a slim chance of emerging victorious, everyone will entrust that wish to the possibility.
It may not be polite to say death, but the fact is that the high-level royal family and nobles inside the wall know that there are always people who yearn for the outside world. Is the intelligence gained by the scouting corps worth it in exchange for their lives? Takashi could sense that the nobles knew much more about the titans than the scouting corps.
It must also be said that the scouting corps did not find the titans and they did not discover the exact way the titans destroyed the wall.
But things have changed a bit now, everyone trusts the scouting corps.
Erwin sighed with excitement, "How long have we been so popular?"
It's always been a crowd pleaser before, but it's a bit awkward to become so popular all of a sudden.
Captain Levi looked impatient, "Tsk, shut your mouths."
There are a lot of people around shouting Levi's name. After all, Captain Levi is the strongest soldier within the army. He not only has civilian admirers, but also within any army corps.
Eren looked at the high morale and was more excited than the people in the scouting corps, which is now much more popular than before, and felt that the titans were not invincible.
Thomas, who gathered, said, "It has been five years and everyone is optimistic. The supergiant should never appear again, I will eliminate him myself if he appears."
Takashi's mouth twitched, Thomas really has a rotten mouth, considering the wall is about to be knocked down, won't Thomas wet his pants when he remembers his words?
It's not that he didn't want to tell the news to the Survey corps, but what he was supposed to say, he has no evidence, he is still a soldier of the training corps so he could be very suspicious once Eren is discovered with that ability.
The Survey Corps was already through the streets and soon arrived at the gate of the Trost district, through which they could enter the fallen territory. Now the task of the Survey Corps is not to explore beyond the wall, but to recover wall Maria, build a fortress and plan a safe route to establish a good front in the fight against the titans.
"I don't quite understand, why are there so many wooden posts in this place?" Hange Zoe looked at the dozens of wooden poles scattered evenly on both sides of the main street in front of the gate with doubt.
"I heard it was the order of Commander Pixis, who was here in the Trost district together with the training corps last year, and suddenly ordered everyone to set this up and then do training exercises." Replied a member of the scouting corps.
"But what good is this?" Captain Mike frowned.
There is also pavement on the ground on both sides of the main street so it is not at all easy to dig a hole and erect a wooden post, Mike doesn't understand the significance of putting so much effort into this.
A soldier from the special forces squadron led by Levi, Gunther Schultz, said somewhat uncertainty, "I heard from a friend in the garrison corps, who heard a complaint from some soldiers, it is said that the commander listened to the advice of a recruit and then ordered to do this, saying that if this place is to be defended, the wooden poles would be useful to operate the three-dimensional maneuvering equipment, because this area is mainly silver."
"Doesn't sound useful, but Commander Pixis is a weirdo." Said Nanaba who was from Mike's detachment, showing that she disagreed.
Can he be of any help if the city is lost? How are they supposed to be able to block the broken gate?
Captain Levi's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak.
Erwin looked at these tall wooden poles and suddenly asked, "Do you know who that recruit is?"
Gunther Schultz who shared the news earlier was a little unsure, "I don't remember clearly, my friend who is in the garrison corps said that he heard from Gustav that the commander also invited that young man, his name e.... Taka... Takashi Ackerman, that seems to be the name."
Erwin unconsciously glanced at Levi behind him, not many people knew the captain's last name Levi frowned and flashed Erwin a look of intrigue. "I'll have to check when I get back..." Levi muttered under his breath.
He didn't know why, but he intuitively told Erwin that this recruit would be interested in joining the Survey Corps. And more importantly, it seems that Levi might have a strange relationship with that boy.
The gate to the Trost district opened and more than 500 Scouting Corps elites disappeared through the gate like a long veil.
They all watched them go, not knowing what awaited them.
At that moment, Eren and the others met his uncle Hennes, a middle-aged man with blond hair and a slightly wrinkled head who is now a captain within the Trost district garrison corps. Because Eren's father, Dr. Yaeger, helped his wife who was suffering from an illness, he always wanted to repay all that kindness, so he took good care of Eren.
When the titans invaded Shiganshina district, Hennes wanted to sacrifice his life to cover Eren to rescue his mother, who was crushed under the collapsed house, but he was afraid to face the titans when he doubted his abilities, finally he had to obey the request of Eren's mother and took them by force to a transport ship, during all this time he has felt very guilty.
In fact, he was right, if he really wanted to run to save Eren's mother back then, most likely Eren and Mikasa could have died too.
Hennes looked at Eren with some relief, "Your son has grown up too, like a soldier."
"I'm so sorry Eren, I'm sorry I couldn't save your mother." Hannes said with a worried expression.
"It wasn't your fault." Eren said with a serious expression.
Eren and Hennes talked for a while and then went to repair the fort on the city wall.
Takashi didn't go to the city wall. He was assigned to patrol the city. With him were Christa and Ymir. The three of them had been wandering for two hours through the city streets.
"Takashi, have you gone to see how the scouting corps was going out for a new inspection?" Christa asked casually.
"Well, I went to see it..." Takashi smiled.
Christa raised her head, her big eyes were a bit curious, "Takashi, you'll go out with them in the future, right? Aren't you afraid of the titans?"
His face became serious, Takashi's momentum opened his Magenkyo Sharingan, he pointed at the city wall in front and said coldly, "It's not a matter of fear, they're already here!"
There is no choice, not to mention his identity, won't he be eaten by the titan just because he is a being from another world? Nonsense, his flesh would still be swallowed by a titan the first chance they get to get their claws on him.
Christa looked in the direction Takashi pointed and covered her mouth in surprise: "The city wall, that.... Is that the head of a titan?"
At the Trost gate, the city wall leading into the city, a huge head emerged, the colossal head of a titan.
Taking a deep breath, Takashi was a bit surprised. The colossal titan is at least 60 meters tall. What is that concept? The perfect Susanoo of him is at least 100 meters tall. He thought that his third form was enough to kill him, now he was hesitant to do it.
Fortunately, the colossal titan moves slowly and the neck is still the key point to kill it, correctly using the Susanoo would not be a problem to defeat it without losing many years of life.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise that shook the earth, gravel splattered and the door to Trost's region kicked open.
Stones flew and Takashi who was nearby along with Ymir and Christa, would get hurt if a stone hit them. Not caring much, Takashi activates his Mangekyu Sharingan ready to release the first form of his power if the stones were to head in his direction.
"No way!" Ymir muttered seeing how the city gate had been destroyed. Shifting her gaze to Takashi, she discovered that Takashi had activated that strange pair of eyes.
"Takashi you..." Ymir looked at Takashi with surprise.
"Looks like it did happen in the end." Takashi said as he saw how the door had been completely destroyed.
Now that it was clear to him that Ymir wasn't the enemy, at least she wasn't standing next to the strange titans that tore down the wall of the Trost district.
In 845, the colossal titan kicked down the Shiganshina city district gate and then the armored titan took over Mary's Wall, mankind lost a lot in those years.
After a lapse of five years, in the summer of 850, the Trost District Region gate was again destroyed by the same titan.
"Christa, Ymir, we need to return to the garrison station to prepare for war, the chaos has begun." Without waiting for Christa and Ymir to answer him, Takashi quickly ran towards the base.
On the way, Takshi was shouting to all the people to run and evacuate the city as soon as possible.
They must return as soon as possible. After all, they are not using the three-dimensional maneuvering equipment on patrol. Once the residents flee in a hurry, it will be difficult to move in this place.
At the city wall, Eren was the first to react and summoned the courage to launch an attack against the colossal titan. He strongly resisted the hot steam emanating from the super giant's body, flew towards the back of the colossal titan's neck with the help of his three-dimensional maneuvering equipment and cut precisely where the neck was supposed to be, but only cut through the mist and nothing else.
Connie, who had just flown away from the strong wind pressure when the giant appeared, came back up and asked Eren, "Are you okay Eren, did you manage to kill him?"
Eren's face was ugly, "No, like five years ago, it suddenly disappeared."
"Don't talk now, he has breached the wall if we don't even close it fast, the titans will come back in." Franz's hand trembled as he pointed to the broken door.
The war has begun.
