"He said he was human!"
"Liar, how can humans become titans?"
"I can't trust him!"
The garrison corps soldiers didn't believe Eren, and some even raised their weapons ready to open fire.
"Pretend not to know anything? He's a monster, cadet, don't play dumb otherwise I'll blow him to pieces. it'll be instantaneous! He won't have time to show his true form." Kitz Weilman was getting more and more agitated.
"My form?" Eren still didn't seem to understand the trouble he was in.
"We've all seen it! We've witnessed you emerge from inside a titan's body, humanity has allowed mysterious creatures like you to infiltrate the heart of Rose Wall itself."
"Even if the cadets swear allegiance to the king, the safest course of action is to take safe action and eliminate risk! I know I'm right."
After saying that, Kitz Weilman said in a terrified voice, "The armored titan that brought down the Maria wall can appear again anytime, anywhere, Eren, humanity is once again on the brink of extinction, extinction! Do you understand?"
"We can't afford to waste time and troops on you, so I will have to shoot all three of you, I will eliminate you without a moment's hesitation." Finally Kitz Weilman finished speaking.
Takashi touched his left ear in pain, this captain is truly a failure as a leader. Not only does he prioritize his safety and survival, but he also doesn't think that Eren can offer humanity much more than meets the eye.
Looking at Eren, Takashi could understand that he would most likely be treated this way if his Susanoo were to reveal himself, he couldn't think of any other way.
"Sir, they are showing defiance and are not cooperating, I highly doubt we can extract any useful information from them." Rico Brzenska said, "As you have said before it is a waste of troops and time."
"Captain! This is our chance, we have to eliminate him while he retains his human form."
With a cold face, Mikasa held a pair of knives in front and walked in front of Eren, "You know what my specialty is? My specialty is cutting meat, I'm willing to give you a demonstration if you force me. If anyone wishes to experience it first hand, I invite you to step forward and be the first to approach."
"And this is the garrison corps elite?" Takashi thought as he saw all the soldiers with fear on their faces.
The actions of the garrison troop soldiers were stagnant, the fear instilled by a single girl can only be described in five words, fear with no apparent explanation!
Ian, the squad leader of the elite squad of the corps elite squad stationed on the side, pointed out, "Commander Kitz Weilman, is Miaksa Ackerman, she is part of our elite unit, she is worth much more than a hundred normal soldiers. If we lose her, it would be a hard blow."
Another squad leader of the elite corps, the female soldier Rico with glasses, analyzed the commander, Captain Kitz: "We have run out of troops, we can't consider anything."
With a bit of fear in his eyes, Captain Kitz looked at Eren expressionlessly, "Although you are a newly graduated soldier of the training corps, you are too dangerous, maybe you are related to the titans who knocked down the gate, I can't trust you at all."
At that moment, Eren excitedly shouted again, "I'm human!"
"I see, I hope you don't hold a grudge, after all I have no choice." Kitz slowly raised his hand, "Fire!"
Takashi's eyelids contracted behind Kitz, hoping that Eren would stand up and defend himself from this first attack, otherwise Mikasa and Armin might die too.
"Boom!"
The cannonball was fired towards Eren and the others. Eren ran towards Armin and used all his strength to become a titan again to block the cannonball. Due to his lack of physical strength, the titan that Eren transformed into this time only had half of his body and his relatively full arm stopped the cannonball.
The explosion of the shell raised a large amount of dust, and the half titan that Eren had created was steaming, so the situation on the field could not be seen for a while.
After hearing the sound of the cannons, Reiner, Annie and Bertholdt flew to a rooftop with their three-dimensional maneuvering equipment to observe the situation.
Reiner, Annie and Bertholdt were quite nervous, if they couldn't find the mission titan, Eren was their hope of getting home safely, so they couldn't let him die.
At that time, the four teenagers left their places of origin and traveled across the ocean to this island. As a result, an accident happened on the way. One of their companions died in an unrealistic way so they lost a quarter of their group, they could not return until they got something out of this trip! After all, they would not be the only ones affected by their defeat.
After a while, the smoke cleared, footsteps sounded and Armin, who was unarmed, ran out of the smoke and raised his hands to indicate that he was not hostile.
"Stop! You finally show yourself as you really are, you monsters. But now I'll give the signal." Said Captain Keiz.
Armin looked around for a few seconds and found fear, unease and nervousness in the soldiers around him. He also looked at Takashi, who was acting as a bodyguard behind kitz. He froze for a moment and then explained loudly, "He is not the enemy of humanity, we intend to share all the information we have obtained so far."
Captain Kitz snorted coldly. He didn't even believe the other party's desperate words and said, "It won't do any good to plead, now that he has really shown us what he is like we have nothing to talk about anymore. If you say he is not the enemy, prove it. If you can't, we will be forced to eliminate them."
"No evidence is needed at all!" Armin calmly analyzed, "The main question is not how the rest of us humans see him, you said earlier that everyone has seen him. So, I hope you have seen how he has faced the titans and you have also seen how the titans surrounded him to attack him."
"Takashi, you have seen it too."
"It looks like..."
"The titan is a companion?"
"He killed titans all the time."
Seeing that everyone was shocked, Captain Kitz shouted, "Prepare to attack! His behavior is really incomprehensible, but he's too dangerous, don't be fooled, he's just confusing us!"
Takashi, who was behind him, was speechless, now Kitz had stopped thinking and just wanted to resolve the threat.
Armin also discovered this, he gave a very standard heartfelt salute and shouted, "I am a soldier, I swore to give myself body and soul for the restoration of humanity! If I have to die defending that purpose, then I will die happy. If we add the power of that titan to the forces we still have left it is possible for us to take back the city."
"Allow me in the name of humanity and in my last breaths to make you think again, about your strategic value!"
The soldiers of the garrison troops surrounding them were stunned for a moment. Can they take back the territory that now belongs to titans?
Ian said to Kitz with some surprise, "Captain, we can think about it."
In all honesty, Armin's speech was truly wonderful. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Takashi would want to applaud.
When he looked back, he didn't even see the shadow of Commander Pixis. What's going on? Traffic jams on the highway? If you don't come now, this stupid captain will tear our protagonist to pieces.
However, Captain Kitz was not impressed by Armin's speech, his eyes widened like saucers, his expression twisted, his patience ran out and his fear made him stop thinking, "Get ready, open up..."
Armin suddenly looked desperate, Mikasa raised the knife and Eren put his hand to his mouth and tried to transform.
Reiner, who was watching from the ceiling, became nervous. Reiner even considered turning into a titan to kidnap Eren, but now Eren is just an anomaly in his eyes.
If they really do it now, the mission would be ruined, because this is a surprise move, they couldn't expose themselves now.
"Keng!"
Just as Kitz was about to raise his hand to signal for the artillery to attack, he was suddenly met with a cold blade to the neck, the blade touched his neck closely, causing his words to get stuck in his throat.
Kitz turned his head slightly with difficulty and saw the cadet who said he would stay to protect him.
Takashi said with a grim expression, "Captain Kitz, can this calm you down? I really don't want you to make another mistake, considering that desertion is punishable by death, you would now be a fish among the living."
Ian, who couldn't react, looked at that cadet in a state of Shock, "Takashi, what are you doing?"
Rico, with silver golden hair, also reacted and persuaded: "Takashi, are you trying to reveal yourself? Drop the knife!"
Only then the surrounding garrison troops suddenly panicked, what's the situation, isn't that Captain Kitz's bodyguard?
Some recovered people pointed guns at Takashi.
Kitz was sweating coldly, while gritting his teeth he asked, "Takashi Ackerman, are you going to betray humanity?"
Can human beings also be represented? Unmoved, Takashi's expression was indifferent and he said, "Captain Kitz, with all due respect you have lost your mind about this situation, why don't we listen to the words of my comrades more calmly and without less weapons involved?"
Even Captain Ian knew that Eren's force together with the elites combined, it would indeed be possible to remonstrate the Trost district.
Even if there is only a small chance, we have to try, otherwise, we can't guarantee the safety of the Rose wall.
Takashi looked directly into Captain Keiz's eyes and said, "If the Rose wall is lost, the human race will be completely destroyed. Which one of you is sure that you can guarantee the safety of this wall? To tell you the truth, at this point, we have to protect humanity at this point. None of the nobles on the inner wall give a shit about what is decided here, if the results are good, they will ignore it."
Pushing the knife into Captain Kitz's neck, Takashi said with a cold expression, "Compared to the safety of the wall Rose, your life is worthless if we can take the power of a titan!"
Ian and Rico were pensive, and the garrison soldiers around them were a bit shocked. In fact, Armin's speech moved them a little.
In the camp, Armin breathed a sigh of relief. He was really desperate at this point. He felt that Eren's current physical condition could not give him the chance to become a titan once again. Mikasa also lowered the knives she was holding and relaxed a little. Everyone was watching the conflict between Takashi and Commander Kitz.
"Alright, is that how you act as my escort?" Captain Kitz is not as harsh with his words as before.
When his life is in danger, he doesn't even dare to say excessively harsh words, for fear of angering Takashi.
Takashi looked around for a few minutes and discovered that Commander Pixis had not yet arrived, what the hell?
Indeed, the commander had traveled at full speed, but maybe he was waiting for something.
After thinking about it, Takashi decided to drag something to delay time as much as he could.
Takashi suddenly smiled and said as if he was having a conversation with an old friend, "Captain Kitz, can you let your subordinates put the gun down? I'm very fearful, what if my hands are shaking from fear?"
"You..." Kitz looked at the cold metal blade on his neck, obeyed his heart and didn't dare to scold him.
Ian and Rico watched from the side, helplessly, with Kitz as a hostage, they didn't dare to act rashly.
Takashi sneered at a group of soldiers from the garrison troops who were a bit overwhelmed around him, "What, they want Captain Kitz to die?"
"What's wrong? If you kill me now, it would be considered a merit for you. But if by mistake something happens, someone else will have to lead all the soldiers considering the losses of the higher commanders."
The group of garrison soldiers looked at each other, these words were too cruel, they hesitated whether to lower their weapons or not.
"Bastard, put the gun down! Takashi Ackerman, tell me, what do you want?" Kitz finally regained his composure.
"Sir, we have to wait for Commander Pixis to arrive, he might make a decision that is not only based on our safety and time."
Kitz looked deeply at Takashi and then realized that Takashi didn't want to kill him, but only delayed the time.
"Have you seen Commander Pixis anywhere?" Kitz asked.
Takashi looked surprised at the calm Captain Kitz, sensed that he was not so insufferable and sneered, "I've seen him once, do you know who recommended him on the wooden poles?"
Just as Takashi was about to continue, a light hand touched his shoulder calmly.
"Haha! I'm still amazed that you got the place where they would attack us right, I was lucky I took the trouble to listen to you."
Commander Pixis arrived and said, "Traffic jams, rush hour is scary."
Pixis had finally arrived.
