Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

As expected, the female titan really chased after Allen, but...

Even though Reiner and the others had delayed long enough, they still fired a flare to signal retreat.

However, the Survey Corps fired flares to indicate that their original formation and route remained unchanged.

This also led to the female Titan directly catching up with the elite members of the Survey Corps and starting an inhumane massacre.

Although it can be seen that the elite of the Survey Corps are far stronger than the veterans of the Military Police and the Garrison Corps in the defense of Wall Rose.

However, on flat ground, it is difficult to use the three-dimensional maneuvering device more flexibly.

Plus, they're facing a female giant with intelligence equivalent to that of a human.

So the elite members of the Survey Corps died tragically one after another. Some were trampled to death by the female Titan, some were kicked to death with their horses, some were crushed to death, and some were even spun around by the female Titan after being grabbed by the steel cable of the fixator and thrown to death by centrifugal force...

It is extremely cruel.

Anime fans also think it is too cruel, especially the soldiers of the Survey Corps, who are obviously not fools like the Military Police and the Garrison Corps. Each of them seems to be an elite hero who is willing to sacrifice for humanity.

People don't want to see beautiful things destroyed in front of them.

A worthless character, just like a background board, even if he dies, everyone may just sigh.

But it is obviously sad when those valuable and recognizable characters die just like that.

These characters were undoubtedly endowed with elite, one-of-a-kind precious value, but now they are dying so miserably one after another, which really makes the fans feel sad.

They also don't understand why Erwin hasn't fought back, and why Levi, who is known as the strongest man in the world, hasn't taken action yet -

"Wow... This is the first time I've seen this comic by Lao Zei... People really die from the beginning to the end, and they die in large numbers..."

"I really feel sorry for these elite humans who joined the Survey Corps. They died at the feet of that female titan. The casualties were too great..."

"Those who joined the Survey Corps and survived were the elite among the elite, but they died in such large numbers. It really hurts me to see this."

"It's like special forces soldiers being killed one by one. It's really painful to watch."

"By the way, why doesn't Levi fight back? He should be able to fight the female titan."

"Or Erwin could just change the formation and leave. Why does it have to be like this..."

"It makes me sad. I felt like everyone in the Survey Corps was a good person, but they all died like this..."

"You old thief is really... this time it's too cruel. Not only is the knife-cutting in this work really random, but it's also sent out one after another, with each person sending out the knife, and the one sending the knife is so cruel... Either they are eaten by the giant, or they are trampled to death or crushed to death like this, anyway, they all die without a complete body..."

"I suddenly felt that this really reflected the cruelty of war. To be honest... the real battlefield should be like this too, with basically no intact corpse left."

"Alas... I wish for world peace. I just saw them indiscriminately killing five reporters from the other side. It was really infuriating."

"Yes...I wish for world peace."

……

The Female Titan's ruthless massacre of the Survey Corps made Eren and even the others in Levi's team extremely anxious.

However, just as Eren was about to transform, or just as Levi's team was about to attack.

But Levi stopped them and told them to follow orders because these were... orders.

As a soldier, obeying orders is your duty.

And the order they received was... to protect Allen.

So they could not attack, but had to continue to protect Allen and move forward until new orders came.

This is actually because Eren's giant power is still unstable.

Everyone in Levi's class understood immediately.

But as Alan watched his companions behind him continue to die, he still hesitated.

He didn't know whether he should trust his companions. Although he should, he still couldn't bear to see his companions dying one after another.

He looked at Levi, but Levi actually gave him the choice...

Should he transform into a Titan and fight the Titaness, or should he trust his companions and Captain Erwin's command...

According to common sense, Levi should mean the latter, and that Eren should trust them.

But he didn't, because he never knew what the right choice was...

Only by believing in your own choices can you avoid regrets.

But Eren mistakenly thought that Levi wanted him to believe them.

So he could only resist the urge to look at his companions who had died tragically at the hands of the giantess and kept running forward.

They ran to the woods, but their companions behind them continued to be crushed, slapped, and trampled to death by the giantess!
But behind the two big trees in front of the approaching female titan, there were ambushes of the Survey Corps hidden!

It turned out that the captain Erwin guessed that the female giant might be an intelligent and intelligent giant, so he set a trap in the forest and prepared to capture it alive.

Sure enough, Levi's team led the female Titan into the trap. Erwin ordered the capture weapon to be launched and successfully captured the female Titan.

Everyone in Levi's squad said that Erwin was trusted by the soldiers.

Only then did Alan finally feel relieved and extremely excited. It turned out that his choice was right.

It was right to choose to trust your companions, trust your captain, and trust Captain Levi.

However, Jean believes that Erwin's strategy has caused too many casualties, to which Armin retorts, "He who cannot give up anything can accomplish nothing."

As Levi and Mick attempt to cut the back of the Titaness' neck, Erwin notices that she has the ability to partially harden her body, and orders his men to prepare explosives to blow up the target's wrists.

But just then!
The female Titan roared to summon the Titans. Erwin realized that the Titans wanted to eat her, so he ordered the Survey Corps to protect her.

However, there were too many giants, and the female giant was eventually eaten by them.

In desperation, Erwin ordered a retreat.

However, Erwin showed an excited expression when he saw the Titan devouring the remains of the Female Titan. Later, when he asked Levi's team to go for "supplies", he guessed it in his conversation with Hanji...

"The reason why no one witnessed his transformation when the Colossal Titan disappeared..."

Erwin said calmly, "In fact, it was because the 'transformer' was equipped with a three-dimensional mobile device and used the steam that released the giant's transformation as a cover to escape successfully. You said so, right?"

"But...regarding that argument, considering the situation when Eren emerged from the Titan, we have already come to the conclusion that it is unlikely, right?"

Hanji thought for a moment before answering, "All of his equipment is damaged, not even his battle suit is left, and Eren himself is so weakened that he can't even stand up on his own."

however……

"The female giant has a special ability to call other giants by her screams. We did not expect this, which led to the failure of the operation."

Erwin continued seriously, "If you want to defeat that kind of enemy, you must first make your thinking more flexible..."

"If 'Giant Power' has proficiency, then it would be wrong to consider it based on a novice like Eren."

He said again with certainty, "It's just as you speculated. If the enemy can use steam as a cover to escape successfully... and is wearing the same equipment as us!"

Then in the next comic picture, a man wearing a Wings of Liberty cape and with an unclear face appeared, approaching quickly...

Gunda, who has always been the calmest member of Levi's team!

Gunda looked at the other person's clothes belonging to the Survey Corps and was a little confused, but not on guard.

Then… “Mr. Gunda!”

Alan was horrified to find that Gunda, who had just been talking to them, had a cold light piercing his vitals...

Then his neck was cut off and he died in mid-air!

Everyone, inside and outside the comics, including the audience reading the comics, were shocked.

The soldiers of Levi's squad, who were known as the elite of the elite in the Survey Corps and each of them killed more than a dozen Titans on their own, just died like this?!

In the previous plot when Alan was interacting with them, he had just developed a good impression of them, but now they are dead!
"Alan, don't stop!"

At this moment, Oruo grabbed Alan and pulled him to continue running, shouting loudly.

Then, after protecting Alan and retreating, they turned around and planned to find the "traitor".

At this time, the scene cuts to Erwin.

He continued to speculate, saying, "If the enemy has a way to preserve her strength, then she might even be able to transform into a giant again!"

Sure enough, a flash of light suddenly appeared in front of Alan and the others.

The female titan appeared out of nowhere again in the woods and rushed directly towards Eren.

At this time, it was Petra, Oro, and Elder who were left in Levi's squad who asked Eren to retreat quickly. They wanted to unite together to kill the female titan and avenge the murder of Gunda!

“You must challenge them with the intention of losing everything.”

Erwin continued, "If necessary, we need to take some... risks."

"I want to fight too!"

Alan couldn't help it at this time and said loudly.

“This is the best strategy!”

However, Elder said to him, "It is too risky to use your power."

"What? Do you doubt our level?"

Oluo also said at this time.

"Is that so? Alan?"

Petra also said, "Don't you trust us so much?"

"If we don't fight like that..."

Erwin said, "Humanity can't win."

After hearing what his companions said and recalling what had just happened, Allen finally decided...

trust.

He turned and left, saying loudly, "I believe our class will win! Take care!"

From then on, the only three people left in Levi's team began to besiege the female Titan together.

Sure enough, with the cooperation of the three elite soldiers, and because they were in the woods, they were able to flexibly use the three-dimensional maneuvering device.

All of a sudden, the three of them worked together to destroy the giantess's eyes and shoulder muscles.

The giantess was leaning against a giant tree, still protecting her weak spots, but now it seemed that she could no longer protect her vital points.

Elder rushed forward immediately, filled with anger over the death of his companion, and planned to kill the woman by hitting her vital points while it was impossible for her to recover quickly from her injuries!

At this time, Allen remembered something when he was leaving...

"I can't understand..."

Levi said to him at the time, "Whether it is believing in your own strength or believing in the choices made by your trustworthy companions...no one can know whether it is right or wrong until the result comes out."

Then he suddenly turned around and saw...

The female giant actually opened one of her eyes, which was supposed to have been damaged and could not be repaired in a short time. When she saw Elder who was so close to her, she bit him directly!
Elder died on the spot...!
"Elder!!!"

Both Petra and Oruo couldn't accept this and shouted loudly.

Everyone was very puzzled, but at this moment, Armin on the side saw...only one eye of the female Titan was restored.

He then guessed, could it be that... healing the eyes was given priority? !
After her eyesight was restored, the giantess stretched out her uninjured legs and rushed quickly towards Petra!
That's because Petra hasn't adjusted the posture of the three-dimensional mobile device yet.

"Petra!! Adjust your posture quickly!"

Oluo shouted anxiously.

However... Petra was too late, and was trampled under the tree by the giantess in horror.

Her lower body shattered in an instant, her head tilted back, her eyes already lifeless.

Petra... Sacrifice!
Oluo watched this scene. At this moment, he could no longer bear it. He gritted his teeth, with a mixture of anger and sadness in his eyes.

The three comrades who had fought side by side with him were all killed in battle, and they died in front of him. No one could accept this.

"go to hell!"

So, he looked at the weak spot of the giantess' neck that was exposed as she leaned against him, and angrily drew his sword and rushed over!
however……

"boom--!!"

Oruo's blade swept past the neck of the female giant, but... his blade instantly shattered into more than a dozen pieces!

"Why? The blade doesn't work?"

He said in confusion.

Then I saw... transparent but extremely strong and hard crystals spreading out from the vital parts behind the giantess!

It was these crystals that caused Oruo's blade to break!

As a result, the female giant seized the opportunity to attack Oro, and kicked him to death!
Oluo... Sacrifice!
Levi's squad...Except for Captain Levi and Eren, all members were wiped out!

But Alan, who saw these scenes, went... crazy.

"Kill... this guy!"

He watched as the seniors he had just met and trusted died, and it seemed that all this was because...

He trusted his companions.

He could have transformed and attacked the moment the female titan appeared, or he could have transformed and fought when the female titan entered the woods, or even just now...

He still has a chance.

But... because he wanted his new companions too much, he caused all of them to be sacrificed.

This time he finally understood what Captain Levi meant by what he said.

"I should have... just believed in myself from the beginning!"

He looked at Petra and his dead companions and bit off his finger in anger. "I should have killed this guy right from the start by fighting with my own strength only!!"

Then Alan finally transformed into a giant and punched the female giant hard! (End of this chapter)
