Just today all sides were moving, Erwin had ordered everyone else besides Levi's squad to go into hiding. Recently, the Survey Corps had received many attacks in all forms.
Therefore, the plan to make the coup d'état had been completed. It was a matter of time before the plan was initiated, now what everyone was waiting for was for the mysterious people to take Eren and Historia away.
If all goes well, while Eren and Historia are kidnapped, at that precise moment the coup d'état will begin. There was no other way to reform the government of these walls, no noble really cared about the people and the titans, so their power and status were not needed.
When all this started, Erwin had already gone to visit Chief Nile Dok at Sina Wall, today better than ever he needed his old friend's help for all this to be completed successfully.
At the same time, Takashi and his group were about to leave for the Trost district, so today was the day it all began.
Takashi had dressed up in the three-dimensional anti-person maneuvering equipment, unlike the titan assassination equipment, this equipment is tasked to move in a better way to assassinate humans.
"You look good, Ymir." Takashi said with a smile.
"Are we going to kill people now?" Ymir asked with a cold face.
"Well, life changes." After saying that, Takashi rejoined the group and they set out on the journey to the Trost district.
After being intercepted by these people, Takashi did not travel beyond the Rose wall, so the return should be very short.
Kenny's group was already waiting for him, to keep Takashi's identity hidden, he decided to wear a trench coat with a cap. This way, no one inside the Trost district would recognize him.
"We need to get going, we've been in this place long enough, let's go." Kenny said before getting on a horse and starting the journey to the Trost district.
Takashi sighed and got on his horse, today things could get out of hand or everything could be easily accomplished. He knew that anything could happen and mistakes were not out of the question, not everything could go exactly as planned.
Kenny who had been silent all this time asked, "Hey Takashi, a while ago you mentioned something about Little Red Riding Hood, what kind of crap is that story?"
Everyone looked at Takashi and waited for his answer, Duran who hesitated to speak said, "Looks like it's a children's story, right? Hahaha."
No one in the group scoffed, Kenny looked at Duran and said, "If you tell a bullshit joke again, I'm going to cut your throat."
Traute Caven said, "Yeah you are a mindless idiot Duran, you better concentrate on riding properly before you talk with your mouth."
Takashi thought about it seriously and said, "Well, Little Red Riding Hood is a story about a little girl going to visit her grandmother who lived in the forest, that day she was taking food to her sick grandmother and when she got home an old wolf had already eaten her grandfather, Little Red Riding Hood arrived and the wolf was waiting for the right moment to eat her."
"With his dead grandmother's clothes draped over his fur, the wolf lay down on his grandmother's bed and when Little Red Riding Hood arrived, he enjoyed another rich feast."
Kenny was silent for a moment, no one knew where such a dark story had come from, Ymir was also very surprised. After a while, Kenny scoffed out loud, "Hahaha, what a good story that is, nowadays what kids learn is amazing, isn't it?"
Traute, Ymir and Duren were puzzled. There wasn't much to do during the trip, as planned they already had a plan to kidnap Eren and Christa, why the only thing was to wait and take Eren from one point to another.
After arriving in the Trost district, the day passed quietly, there was no significant movement during the night. After two days, Kenny ordered everyone to move, apparently Eren and Historia had been kidnapped.
Dimo Reeves had done his job, both Takashi and Erwin had staked everything on this plan, since Takashi's departure he had not communicated with the legion and it was all a long shot.
Both Takashi and Ymir showed no desperation, they just waited silently for the next orders to be given to them. Kenny though he was wary of these two people, he really thought they were different from any other living being with intentions of betraying him.
However, even considering all that and having that evidence, Kenny didn't trust anyone around him, so he wasn't really worried if someone decided to betray him.
After moving, Takashi along with the others walked towards a forest where Historia and Eren were supposedly being held captive.
Looking around, this was the right place to hold someone captive. Kenny called out to Takashi to identify the people correctly, he was not to make mistakes.
Takashi kept a cool expression, he didn't necessarily feel nervous, but he truly believed this was necessary to improve stability inside the walls.
"Check for eyes in the vicinity, keep anyone close." Kenny said as he headed into the cave with Takashi.
Everyone else moved into the depths of the forest, they needed to be sure there was no one in the vicinity.
One person was standing at the entrance of the cave, watching out for any strangers approaching. When that man looked at Kenny, he ran straight into the cave.
"Chief of the corporation! The military police have arrived!" Shouted the man to his boss Dimo Reeves.
"Sooner than expected, it was a good thing I was here earlier." Dimo Reeves said as he looked at Eren and Historia.
Kenny and Takashi made it all the way inside the cave, looking at the two people tied up on the floor, he checked that they were the right people.
"It's them." Takashi said lightly.
"Well done Reeves." Kenny said as he approached.
"Hey... do you remember me? Christa Lentz." Kenny said, "I was there when you got your new name, it's been five years, eh, Christa."
"You sure have grown up."
Eren looked at the MPs and checked that they were the ones who killed Historia's mother, then looked at Takashi and found that Takashi didn't even give them a glance.
"Hey Reeves, I need to tell you something." Kenny said, looking closely at Eren and Christa.
"What could it be, have you decided to give me a proper reward?" Reeves asked.
"Well, you've certainly done a great job, there will be more jobs for you in the future." Kenny said as he walked towards the exit of the cave.
Takashi, after seeing that all was well, turned around and walked out as well. A special carriage had been prepared today to transport Historia and Eren, so everything was ready.
Kenny approached Reeves and after a brief talk, plunged a knife into his throat. Takashi was slightly shocked, why did he end up murdering?
"Did he lie?" Takashi asked as he approached Reeves' lifeless body.
"Well, I had my suspicions..." Kenny said in a bored voice.
"Captain Ackerman, it was quite strange, there is nothing suspicious that indicates to be a trap by the enemy, there is no trace." Traute said in a surprised voice.
"Shit... You were unlucky, Revees, how could I have been so suspicious of your loyalty." This time he was really confused, what is the Survey Corps doing?
"I thought the Survey Corps was more competent, were they really such idiots as to let these two get kidnapped?" Kenny asked with a frown.
"No, it doesn't look good, we the anti-human suppression squad, we must not be surprised, get the teams ready!" Kenny said with a very deep foreboding about the situation.
Meanwhile, Takashi watched Eren and Historia being loaded into a carriage and locked in some sort of crates.
"Takashi, get in the carriage with your girlfriend and take care of calling the prey, it looks like it's not right what's going on." Takashi looked at Kenny and nodded.
This old bastard is very dangerous, he really knows that this wasn't so simple from the beginning, so now his doubts about his loyalty are being tested.
Takashi understood that he was now being sent to a slaughterhouse in Kenny's mind, if he is really on his side he will kill anyone who was his enemies, but Kenny did not expect that this was already foreseen by Erwin and Takashi.
After fitting him with the three-dimensional anti-personnel maneuvering equipment, Takashi climbed into the carriage and set off with a squad that would act as bait.
If this really is a trap, they would be attacked by the Survey Corps when they pass through the Trost district. This is also a test for Takashi, this shouldn't be so easy at first and that Kenny had in mind.
"If this is just crazy conjecture in my mind, Levi you will have disappointed me greatly..." Kenny muttered as he followed closely behind the carriage where Takashi was riding.
Takashi climbed into the carriage and together with Ymir stood on top of the carriage, their faces looking in all directions ready for any approaching enemy attack.
"Hey, sword boy, do you really think it's necessary to carry that sword on your back?" Said a soldier from the central military police.
"Don't bother him, I heard that because of that sword they call him the sword demon, rumor has it that he decapitated a rather powerful titan."
Takashi smiled and said, "I really love this sword, if I get the chance, I would like to keep cutting heads with its edge, the more flesh I cut, the sharper the edge increases."
The two soldiers driving the carriage felt a shiver run down their skin, and that boy's eyes looked a lot like Kenny's moments before he killed.
"Well, that's very interesting..." Said the soldier before falling silent.
Ymir looked at Takashi and after some hesitation said, "Really this sucks, why the fuck do we have to expose ourselves like this? It's quite possible that the Survey Corps soldiers have been arrested, what a bummer."
"Rarely does the sun sucks, I hope it ends quickly..." Takashi said before keeping his eyes open for anything else to happen.
Meanwhile, Kenny had come to Trost to look around, if everything is correct the enemies should focus him on this place.
"Captain Ackerman, are there really enemies waiting for us?" Traute Caven asked hesitantly.
"I must not underestimate the enemy, otherwise they would cut my throat." Kenny said with a smile of anticipation.
Where are you Levi?
However, everything was being controlled from the start by only one person, Takashi Ackerman. From the very beginning, he was able to anticipate all these situations and prepare for everything to accelerate as quickly as possible.
At the top of the Rose Wall, Levi and his squad were looking at the city with eyes full of seriousness, none of them really knew how important this operation was, so they just had to wait and move accordingly under Erwin and Takashi's plans.
"Is it really safe for Takashi and Ymir that we don't interfere with their escape? They might get suspicious of how easy it's getting, am I the only one who thinks so?" Jean asked with a complicated look.
"Would you be willing to take that kind of risk? Regardless of how dangerous it would be, there would be a lot of casualties, from what I heard it's a special squadron in assassinating humans, under those conditions we're not ready to face them directly." Levi said with a cold expression.
"We have to rely on Takashi's plan, once we move slowly behind the enemy, we can support them and hold the enemy until the end." Said Sasha while eating a loaf of bread, he really trusted Takashi's plan.
Unexpectedly, the coup was about to start and Kenny was now full of doubts why there was no enemy in the vicinity.
