Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

After Peak finished talking about the battle plan, Armin, Mikasa, Marco, as well as Peak's subordinates Rico, Anka and others discussed the specific purpose of this battle plan again.

In fact, this battle plan was just to help Allen block the city gate, not to really fight to the death with the giants.

All they had to do was lead the giants aside. Marco was also very calm. He said he understood the battle plan and put forward his own suggestions.

In fact, everyone thinks that Marco is obviously more capable of leadership than the other top six graduates, Mikasa, Annie, Reiner, Hoover, Eren and Jean.

The other six people in front, although they performed better than Marco, were actually more suitable as soldiers than leaders.

He now also keenly sees...

If the fear of the giants was the only driving force behind this battle plan, it would be extremely limited.

Sure enough, even if the soldiers below heard a feasible plan, or even if Eren, the "successful experimenter in the secret giant cyborg experiment," forged his identity and obtained Peak's endorsement, they could block the damaged gate of Wall Rose.

But everyone is still skeptical.

"You're talking nonsense!"

The soldier who had almost collapsed and was about to fight with the military police immediately retorted loudly in fear, "How can you risk your life for such a ridiculous reason!"

"What do you think of us?!"

"We...are not swords that can be thrown away after use!!"

After someone started to make a noise, others followed suit.

"Human weapons? Ugh!"

"Guess how many people would believe this bullshit! Do you think we are stupid?"

"let's go!"

"I want to spend my last moments as a human being with my family!"

"You want me to die here today! I won't keep you company!!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

……

Then some people began to take the lead in fleeing, and even some soldiers from the gendarmerie who were maintaining order joined in.

The situation is about to get out of control, fear is about to bring chaos, and failure is coming before the battle even begins...

Commander Peak's voice came from above, but he did not order the execution of these rebels to maintain order, but...

"My old man orders!!"

He shouted to the confused soldiers below, "Absolve anyone who leaves here now!"

"what?!"

Everyone was stunned, even Alan, who was standing next to Peak, looked puzzled.

This... just let the deserters go without holding them accountable?

Isn't this a direct declaration of failure of the operation?
however……

"Those who once succumbed to the fear of the giants are no longer able to fight against them!"

Peak looked at them and continued to shout, "Those who know the horror of the giants, just leave here!!"

This makes many people hesitant.

Because they recalled the terrible experiences of the past, the horrific scenes of their companions being killed by the giants.

But at this time, Peak continued to speak loudly, "And then!!"

"The one who wants his parents and brothers, the ones he loves, to experience the horror of the giant!!"

"Just get out of here!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the chaotic scene instantly quieted down.

Whether those soldiers who planned to participate in the battle or those who planned to escape, they all stood still.

Among them, the gendarmerie soldier who had initially planned to cooperate with the fleeing soldiers and leave here together in the chaos when the battle started to reunite with his family also stood there in a daze.

because……

"This is the only thing that won't work..."

He thought of his young daughter, her tiny figure and her eyes full of hope.

And that...horrible giant.

Once the giants completely break through Wall Rose, his daughter might really experience the same horror he saw.

and so……

"Just this matter...don't even think about it..."

He said with determination, "Because my daughter is my...last hope!!"

So he resolutely turned around and walked with other soldiers who, like him, were returning to the direction of death for their families.

Countless soldiers have returned because their families are behind them.

Even the soldier who was completely overwhelmed by fear at the beginning, suppressed his fear, and walked back with tears streaming down his face, looking a little embarrassed.

Everyone was comforting him.

Alan was watching all this from above. He always maintained the etiquette of offering his heart and felt all kinds of human conditions.

He became more determined.

"I wonder if I can move the rocks with that giant's strength..."

"But I understand my mission..."

"It might be a fake...but..."

"Even so, we must succeed..."

“I have to…”

"Be everyone's hope!!"

Seeing this, many passionate comic fans were moved. It is this behavior of pursuing life even though it is heading towards death that is the proof of the greatness of human beings.

This is the courage of a person who is ready to die. It is not shameful to be afraid or to be cowardly.

Only after fear and cowardice, one still has the courage to move forward bravely and continue to fight, which is still admirable.

Moving forward because you are afraid is the same as moving forward because you are not afraid.

Even more admirable.

"Tears in my eyes, the hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage!"

"Salute to the dead!"

"I would like to paraphrase David's words to describe them: insignificant in life, glorious in death!"

“Donate your heart to humanity!!! I really love this etiquette for some reason!!”

"This is such a wonderful sentence and this etiquette! The heart represents courage, strength and life. Giving one's heart to humanity really gives me a great feeling."

"The works of Qingshan Laozei are always inexplicably passionate..." "Passionate? Am I seeing a ghost? When did Laozei's works become 'passionate'?"

"Isn't "Flame Fist" exciting? Isn't "Edge Walker" exciting? Isn't "The Strange Dao of Immortal" exciting?"

"Okay, okay, I understand what you mean. Be careful, the old thief behind you will really play 'hot-blooded'."

"Is it the kind of 'passion' that makes my whole body burn with passion?"

"Ah, yes, yes! The old thief's work is 90% passionate."

"No matter what, I am still very moved by this place. The fearful people turned back resolutely for the things they were protecting."

"Especially the brother who turned back for his daughter...he's really a man!"

"I always cry for no reason at these strange moments, old thief Qingshan, are you going to kill me?"

"I can only say... based on past experience, there are some easy kills in the back."

"Old thief!!! I could kill you a thousand times!! It still wouldn't be enough!!"

……

Finally, Commander Peak gave a final mobilization speech.

"Tell me about what happened four years ago!"

This time he even revealed the secret he had kept, saying, "What happened in the battle to retake Wall Maria four years ago!"

"I think everyone knows it without me saying it."

Under everyone's gaze, Commander Peak boldly spoke out what happened in the past, "It sounds like a recapture operation, but in reality it's a way for the higher-ups to reduce the large number of refugees that they can't afford to support!!"

"To keep this quiet would be to drive them out of the wall."

"We are the only ones who can survive here today! Everyone, including me, is guilty!!"

Some people have known about this for a long time and keep it to themselves, while others are learning about it for the first time and are quite frightened.

“Because the situation at Wall Maria is in the minority, the dispute has not surfaced.”

Peak continued loudly, "But!! What will happen this time?!"

"If the Rose Wall is breached, it won't be as simple as a 20% reduction in the human population!"

"The land of the last Wall of Sina alone can't even support half of the remaining humans!!"

He explained why this operation had to be carried out, saying, "If humans are destroyed, it will definitely not be because they are eaten by giants, but because humans kill each other!!"

"We must not die in the inner wall!!"

Finally, with the determination to win even if he had to die, he loudly declared, "Please die here... here!!"

All of a sudden, the soldiers present finally understood that even if they managed to linger and enter Wall Sina with their families, they might not survive.

Only by dying here, allowing the operation to be successfully carried out and blocking the gate of Wall Rose, can there be hope... for my family to survive.

So... they decided to die here heroically!!
Next, all the soldiers were mobilized, even though they were afraid, even though they knew they were about to die!
They still face it calmly.

And just as Alan transformed into a giant again and landed in front of the big rock, the battle began.

However...some unexpected things happened.

This time, when Eren transformed into a giant, he actually... had no self-awareness and started destroying... buildings everywhere!

Just like the other giants, but he did not attack humans. He just destroyed things everywhere as if to vent his violence.

However, once the battle had begun, there was no turning back, especially since the other Titans had noticed Eren.

In order to keep their families alive, the other soldiers carried out the plan even though they had different disputes over it.

Kill the giants that approach Eren, or use yourself as bait to lure the giants away.

During this period, some soldiers were killed by the giants. When everyone was in despair...

It turned out that Armin used the three-dimensional mobile device to climb onto Eren's back, and then stabbed a knife into the back of the neck of the Titan where Eren was seen before.

The blade pierced through Alan's left hand directly, and finally made him wake up!

Armin began to talk about his dreams and revenge over and over again, and also talked about Eren's mother, Carla.

At this time, Lin Qingshan's previous hallucination scene of presenting the protagonist's mental state appeared again for comic fans.

Eren's mental hallucination was the small house where he had lived since childhood, and Armin was outside the house asking him questions over and over again, which woke him up directly.

Finally... he finally woke up completely, and he seemed to understand how to control the giant. He finally lifted up the huge stone beside him for the first time, and then walked towards the gate of Wall Rose, step by step!
Suddenly, hope rekindled in the eyes of soldiers such as Rico and Mikasa, and they began to work hard to clear out the giants that were blocking Eren's way.

Finally, watching Eren approaching the city gate, Armin shouted at the top of his lungs, "Go!!! Eren!!!"

“Fight!!!!”

"boom--!!!"

Allen controlled the giant and roared, then slammed the boulder directly into the damaged hole in Wall Rose! !
Everyone watched this scene excitedly and was extremely excited.

Seeing this scene, Rico burst into tears of joy and collapsed on the ground, crying, "Everyone's...death is finally valuable...Humanity has..."

She raised her flare gun high, fired a flare into the distance, and said, "For the first time... we defeated the giant!!"

Commander Peak saw the signal from afar, so he announced that the operation was a success, and then ordered reinforcements to rescue the frontline soldiers and clean up the remaining giants.

However, although the city wall was blocked, it seemed that the giant controlled by Alan could no longer move, and it emitted steam and slowly evaporated and disappeared.

Seeing this, Mikasa and Armin went straight to where Eren was and pulled him out.

Sure enough, Alan now seemed to have passed out. He was extremely weak and completely unable to move. He could only hold on and look at his two friends.

And at this time... although the gate of Wall Rose was blocked, the giants outside could no longer come in.

But there are still many giants inside the wall!

They were not completely cleaned up.

And now, for some unknown reason, they were all walking towards Alan. Their tall and ferocious appearance made people feel scared.

Just when the giants were about to reach out to Alan and the others...

Suddenly in the next picture, a shining silver light flew across the sky, and a figure spun like a top and rushed towards the two giants.

Then in the next picture, the two giants had fallen down, and only a short or even small man with a pair of dead fish eyes was standing on the giants with his back to them.

Obviously, he was the one who killed the two giants with just one move.

But Alan noticed the badge on the cloak behind him, a badge made of two black and white wings that intersected to form a heart-like shape.

This is... the emblem of the Survey Corps - the Wings of Freedom.

Is the person in front of me a member of the Survey Corps?
So strong...

Compared to the military police and garrison troops, who were veterans but still weak and powerless in front of the giants, the short young man in front of him fully demonstrated the strength of a real soldier.

but……

"Hey--"

He seemed to be very impatient and asked Allen and the other two, "Guys, what on earth is this..."

"What's going on?"

However, there is no subsequent plot, but it is briefly explained that the Military Police and the elite Survey Corps gradually cleared out the soldiers who remained in Wall Rose. (End of this chapter)
