Chereads / Infinite Worlds: Attack on Titan / Chapter 52 - Always leaving a mark in history

Chapter 52 - Always leaving a mark in history

The sun was shining brightly, and at noon after Takashi led all the soldiers to the ramparts many things happened. 

Two hours after the retreat bell rang, a few streets behind the Rose wall became a temporary camp for all the soldiers. 

This place is very close to the already occupied Trost district by the titans, as long as the soldiers reach the Rose wall they will be able to access this camp.   

"Graduated cadets rest and rectify your equipment, the battle is not over yet, our duty now is to defend the Rose wall!" 

A Garrison Corps soldier shouted to all the cadets scattered on the street.

The morale of all the newly graduated cadets was low, some of the cadets who were stuck in the city center came to this camp after refueling at the supply station and retreated with Takashi's group once they retreated to Rose wall. 

Some of those who stayed very close to reaching the Rose Wall joined the large group led by Takashi and numbered over a hundred cadets upon reaching the Rose Wall.   

At this point, after an initial battle against the titans, only 191 of the 227 soldiers of the training corps successfully graduated. 

The high survival rate was because many of the newly graduated cadets did not dare to do anything after seeing a titan. At most, they made use of their three-dimensional maneuvering equipment to attract the titans' attention, just to buy time for people to evacuate to the Rose Wall. 

But even so, many people still died. But the most disastrous casualties were for the garrison troops, hundreds died in just a few hours of direct clashes. 

The most important and worrying thing is that after facing the titans or just seeing their power, many of the cadets have lost the courage to face the titans again, and this applies not only to the graduating cadets, but also to the soldiers of the garrison troops. 

Marco, Reiner, Annie and the others who stayed to see the abnormal titan at that time and everyone else had also evacuated to the temporary station some time ago. 

Currently, only Mikasa, Armin, Takashi and most of the team that Eren left with were nowhere to be seen. 

Jean and Connie sat on either side of a wooden table, and Jean frowned, Connie put his hands on the table, keeping his eyes blank. 

Christa ran over to Jean and Connie and asked anxiously, "Jean, Connie, have you seen Takashi, he should join you!" 

After learning that Eren could become a titan, Connie smiled and said, "Don't worry Christa, Takashi is fine and we should thank him for taking us to get supplies and getting us safely here."

"Yes, over a hundred cadets were able to survive because of his orders." Jean agreed. 

"So where did he go?" 

At the thought of the scene of Eren leaving through the back of the titan's neck, he was a little lost, but still reacted, "Don't worry too much, his squad leader has instructions to protect Captain Kitz Weilman, he should be with the main force now." 

Christa breathed a sigh of relief, Nelson and Thomas also relaxed, they never saw Takashi retreat so she feared something bad had happened to him. 

"So, everyone else who isn't here...?" Christa seemed affected by the sudden discovery. 

"Yeah..." Said Connie.

Ymir was calmer, she knew Takashi's abilities and could be calmer than Christa, then she looked at Connie and asked, "And Mikasa too?"

"No, she has been among the last to arrive with the others." 

"Jean, didn't you tell me that Miaksa had been hurt?" Ymir asked the silent Jean directly. 

"We've been given orders to keep it a secret, don't ask any more questions." Jean said with a grim expression. 

"Yes, that was about secrecy..." Connie lowered his voice.

Ymir thought, "It seems something strange happened, will Takashi have revealed his secret?" 

Someone not far away couldn't take it anymore. "Damn it, how could that possibly happen, let me go, who knows how many such monsters are among us!" 

Looking terrified, a newly graduated cadet broke down and wanted to commit suicide. Today, like many in the vicinity he had discovered something terrifying. 

Marco stared at him, grabbed his hands and stopped him, "Don't be impulsive, it's all right." 

"You looked at it too, how the fuck is that possible? Marco, tell me." 

That soldier was not the only one to go crazy because of the discovery that Eren could become a titan, it's just that the others were not so extreme as to want to take their own lives, but they didn't know what to think. 

Are all titans human?

Sasha also lowered her head in despair, even though Takashi had comforted her, she still couldn't calm down. 

At the supply station, she gave up and begged the titan for mercy Sasha couldn't accept her weakness! 

"Wow. 

Sasha, crying, stuffed a loaf of bread into her mouth, now desperate to eat to soothe her broken heart that she kept thinking that the titans could break through the Rose wall. 

In short, after the first time the newly graduated cadets came in contact with the titans, it was estimated that very few of them would dare to join the Exploration corps. 

Across the street, under the Pink Wall. 

In an open space, a group of soldiers from the garrison troops pointed knives or muskets at Eren, who was being held by Armin. Eren was still in a coma after he emerged from the back of the titan's neck. 

The soldiers of the garrison were all nervous, and the hands of many people holding knives were trembling slightly! 

The unconscious young man in front of him may become a titan! 

Mikasa, holding a knife with a cold light in both hands, stood in front of Eren and Armin, facing a group of soldiers head-on.

As for Takashi, he was currently standing next to garrison leader Kitz Weilman, acting as a bodyguard. 

"Always being in the spotlight of the story!" Takashi smiled slightly nervously. 

Mikasa on her side, glared angrily at Takashi, the traitor. She really wants to go up and cut Takashi down right now, even if that bastard didn't help, she actually ran to curry favor with Captain Kitz Weilman. 

Captain Kitz looked at the comatose Eren, and as soon as Eren had any change, he would order the cannons on the wall to bombard Eren, who might turn into a titan! 

The situation is a bit complicated, everyone was aware of what had happened an hour ago. 

At that moment, he remembered everything that had happened when a large number of cadets arrived at the Rose wall. 

Miakasa who pulled Eren out of the titan's neck was spotted by a garrison corps soldier who had been watching the abnormal titan attacking other titans, and watched as all those cadets guarded Eren with vigilance. 

Captain Kitz Weilman shouted to Takashi and Reiner, "Stand back, it's not your partner, it's a titan! All unrelated personnel retreat to the temporary station immediately." 

Reiner, Annie, Bertholdt, Jean and Connie could only be ordered to stand down first, and were ordered to keep their mouths shut, while Mikasa Armin stayed in front of his friend. 

With a serious expression, Takashi did not walk away, he looked at Captain Kitz Weilman and said, "Captain, as you can see, this guy is very dangerous, kill many abnormal titans on the battlefield, I think I can take care of your safety." 

Kitz Weilman felt inexplicably puzzled, "You? Protect me?" 

With so many people under his command, does he still need a guard? 

At that point, an elite garrison corps squad leader named Ian Dietrich approached Captain Kitz Weilman and explained, "It's very powerful. According to reports from cadets who pulled out of the supply station not too long ago , successfully eliminated at least ten titans and led over a hundred cadets out of the Trots district."

And all those kills were solo! 

Ian thinks this new recruit is too powerful. A few hours ago, he asked Mikasa to go to the rear to help evacuate people. In his opinion, Mikasa is a powerful female soldier who can defeat titans, in his opinion Takashi was not much worse than her. 

In fact, Takashi killed ten titans, killed one when he first looked at them, rushed to kill two others on the way to meet the soldiers trapped in the middle of the Trost district and as for the way to the supply station he finished eliminating at least five and two at the supply station. 

Hearing the words "supply station", Kitz Weilman's expression was a bit unnatural. 

He looked at Takashi again, and of course he knew how powerful it was to kill at least five titans at once. Few people in the Exploration corps could do it! 

After thinking about it for a while, Kitz Weilman felt that the young man who could become a titan was too dangerous. It would be better to let Takashi protect him. Anyway, he is Takashi's captain now, so that cadet wouldn't dare disobey the military would he? 

Nodding his head, Kitz Weilman, said, "It's okay, you can stay and act as my guard temporarily. Don't worry, as long as you behave yourself, I won't treat you badly.' 

In this way, Takashi managed to stay, of course, he didn't want to protect the garrison team leader who was about to be engulfed by fear, he was just afraid of any accidents that might happen. 

In the original story, Commander Pixis arrived in time to save Eren, but he interfered. Even if he didn't do anything to spoil the plot much, he couldn't stay still when Eren could be killed. Would this world be saved without his main protagonist? 

Even though he has a Susanoo, he can't make use of it because of the extreme rules that came with using it. Die in just two uses of the ultimate titan? He didn't want to do that at all. 

Therefore, he decided to stay and watch what will happen next. As for the beautiful Mikasa looking at him in an unhappy way, he was used to it, it didn't matter at all, it's not the first time someone looked at him that way. 

Just when the atmosphere in the scene became more and more depressing. 

In the field, Eren, whose consciousness gradually recovered, muttered to himself, "I'll kill them all!" 

The sound which is not too loud, can still be heard clearly in the silent place. 

"Eren!" Mikasa looked at Eren with concern. 

"He said to kill us all!" 

"I heard him too." 

"Damn it, he's going to eat us all!" 

The soldiers of the garrison troops surrounding Eren were nervous, when they looked at that cadet with a ghostly expression, they all really got scared.

With sweat on his forehead, Captain Kitz Weilman, stepped forward and shouted to everyone, "Cadets Jaeger, Ackerman and Arlert, your behavior will be considered as an act of rebellion and treason." 

After saying that, Kitz Weilman asked, "What do you have to say for yourselves, answer!" 

"If you try to deceive us, or make the slightest move, the artillery will open fire on you on the spot, we won't last a moment." 

Eren, who didn't understand what was going on, looked in bewilderment at everything happening in the surroundings. 

"I'll ask you again Cadet Jaeger, what the hell are you, Eren a man or a titan?" 

Eren, who had just regained consciousness, was stunned by the question. He couldn't remember exactly what he did, but he looked at the edge of the swords and cannons in front of him and realized the seriousness of the problem.

"What kind of question is that? I'm human!" Eren roared in a nervous voice.
