At the military court, they advocated for the immediate punishment of Allen and rejected the complete closure of the gates in accordance with the doctrine.

During the second operation to capture the Female Titan, he prayed with believers in a church, but the battle resulted in many civilian casualties. After the Female Titan was captured, he learned that there was a hole in the wall, revealed the secret of the wall, and asked Hange to cover the hole as soon as possible.

After the second capture of the Female Titan, he confessed that he was originally an alcoholic who lost all his family and lived by relying on the gods. Since his devout followers no longer spoke of it, he felt he had no right to reveal the secrets of the walls, but he remained steadfast in his faith and carried out his mission.

After the giants invaded the Wall of Rose, he wanted to see the situation clearly with his own eyes before deciding whether to reveal the secret.

After witnessing firsthand the plight of the refugees in the Emiha district, Christa Lenz's background was revealed. Hange believed he was a man of sound judgment, not merely a fanatical believer.

After the Allied Forces recaptured Eren, Hange secretly arranged for him to hide in the barracks as a carpenter to avoid the threat of the Wall Cult. However, during a gap when the Survey Corps was confirming the safety of the area inside the walls, he was killed for unknown reasons.

According to the military police, bandits broke into the barracks, murdered Priest Nick, and stole his treasure.

Hange later refuted this claim, confirming that Father Nick died from torture inflicted by the Central Military Police.

Levi speculated that Nick did not reveal any information before his death.

It's hard to say what kind of person he is.

He never betrayed his beliefs even when facing torture.

When Hanji pressed him for answers, he also leaked some information to them.

Therefore, sometimes the world is not simply black and white.

Good and evil, right and wrong.

It also requires people to think about it seriously.

The van stopped a hundred meters away from the main gate. Lin Yan observed the current situation and saw a familiar figure.

“Elena Mansal… is there too. She doesn’t seem to be from the Wall Cult, but she looks very strange. This is really too abnormal…”

"Why is she here too?" Even Lin Yan was a little puzzled by this, as Elena Mansal was among them.

"know?"

"Unfamiliar."

Lin Yan said.

In fact, this was Anhail's memory. In his memory, he had met Elena Mansal a few times, but they could not be said to know each other, let alone be familiar with each other.

At this moment, Lena Mansa's condition was somewhat abnormal. How could a living person be like a walking corpse, expressionless? Her face was ashen, and her complexion was terrifyingly pale.

"She looks terrifying."

"Corina said in a low voice."

Lin Yan was trying to guess Elena Mansal's behavior by observing her expression and actions, but then something happened.

"We have only one wish: open the city gates! Now!!!"

Elena Mansal shouted loudly, her voice even a little hoarse. What power could make her utter such a sound?

"what?"

Krum was so surprised he couldn't speak. What was going on? His mind went completely blank, and he didn't know how to think. Why would Elena Mansall say something so absurd? Was she incapable of thinking?

Has he lost his mind?

"I think that's how it should be. How could a normal person do such a thing or say such a thing?"

"Why would these people do such a thing?"

"Those are followers of the giant god."

Lin Yan said.

"There really are people who worship giants. These people are insane. Giants are demons that specialize in killing humans, and yet they want to open the city gates. Once the city gates are opened, all of humanity will face annihilation. Do they want to kill their own relatives, friends, and all of humanity?"

These people have always existed in folk tales, and there has never been any evidence that such heinous individuals actually exist.

But now they are doing these things so openly and blatantly in broad daylight.

“We strongly demand that the city gates be opened. We are devout believers, and we will absolutely fight alongside the giant god.”

Both Elena Mansall and the frenzied crowd were shouting loudly; they were completely insane.

"What on earth happened to make them so crazy?"

Solum's eyes sharpened. When faced with threats to the safety of the walls, Solum's primary identity was that of a member of the Survey Corps. He, Solum, would never allow anything to threaten the safety of the walls; his duty was to protect humanity.

"This must be a conspiracy by these religions. They seem to want to win over some people to strengthen their power."

"Will it end in an uprising?"

"They might really be plotting a big scheme."

Elena Mansall was a member of the Survey Corps, but she joined this organization at this time, which is definitely not a simple matter.

"The situation is somewhat serious."

At this point, reasoning with these crazy people seemed pointless; it was like trying to reason with a scholar who had met his match. They simply wouldn't listen to any advice.

They seem genuinely determined to take over the city gate in one fell swoop. If that happens, things will really get out of hand.

Why are the soldiers holding back? What are they waiting for?

"They're probably just wasting their time. The other side is just an unarmed ordinary person. If they use violence to suppress them, things will probably only get worse."

Numerous soldiers were gathered in front of the main gate. Besides the stationed troops, members of the Survey Corps and the Military Police were also present, indicating their participation in the operation. This meant the higher-ups were paying close attention to the incident. However, Lin Yan and the others had no way of knowing their plans.

"Does the other side have hostages?"

Senofon spotted the arrow tower with his sharp eyes.

The people on the watchtower were believers. They seemed to have captured a man, a bald man with a plump appearance.

They're probably some high-society people.

"who's that person?"

"His identity is not simple; he seems to be an official of the King's government." Solum was an elite member of the Survey Corps and had some understanding of these people.

Moreover, Sorum had no liking for these people.

They are nothing but selfish parasites who use their power to plunder the people for their own benefit, and all they know is how to greedily enjoy themselves.

It's completely useless; it's just a waste of food.

Of course, these are things I would only think to myself; I would never say them aloud.

Especially since these people are conservatives, if their conservative faction grows stronger, the first thing they will abolish will be the Survey Corps.

If anyone disagrees.

It is estimated that it will be eradicated.

These greedy people wouldn't hesitate to kill just a few people; they'd kill for profit without hesitation.

"Conservatives?"

Conservatives are essentially compromisers. They never know how to create a new future with their own hands, but instead huddle in their own cages, becoming caged birds that have lost their own wings and have cut off their own wings.

"That was a pampered person. How could someone like that be used as a hostage? What value does he have? It's laughable."

"The food looks really good."

"People like that are always lazy and good-for-nothing, nothing to envy," Sorum said sarcastically. He genuinely disliked these kinds of people. No, not just disliked them, but loathed them.

I find it extremely disgusting.

Lin Yan glanced at Elena Mansal, "That's very likely."

Although they were only half-joking, these people who were willing to confront the soldiers seemed to be on the verge of madness. If this continued unchecked, who knew what they might do?

Are the hostages the key issue?

"What does it matter whether such a person lives or dies? It's completely unimportant."

That person was ultimately just using politics as a tool; even if he died, it wouldn't change the current situation. But even such a useless person wouldn't be ignored by those people—that's reality.

"A large-scale conflict is likely to occur here."

Sorum said he hoped everyone would leave this place of trouble, otherwise they would also be implicated.

"We want freedom."

Elena Mansal continued to shout loudly.

"Give us back our freedom."

0057 Riot [Please Subscribe]

"free."

"free."

Those people were also shouting, their voices echoing through the sky, deafeningly loud.

At that moment, the official's head was severed, something no one had anticipated. Blood splattered, staining a large area. The vast expanse of blood was so horrifying, so terrifying.

This might be some kind of ritual, and the official was the sacrifice in that ritual. And then something even more unbelievable happened.

The city gates were opened.

It's really open!!!

As the deafening roar resounded, all the believers turned to look at the gate. They shouted even louder.

"Give us back our freedom."

"Freedom belongs to us."

They shouted loudly and then surged toward the city gate. Once the gate opened, they could go outside the city walls. What most people inside the city walls considered hell was the place these believers longed for, which was ironic.

"Oh no."

Sorum drew his broken sword and sped toward the main gate.

Why were the city gates opened after the hostages were killed? They had no time to think further, and Sorum ran towards the gates, followed by the others. Their first target was the arrow tower, which was equipped with lasers to control the opening and closing of the city gates.

But everyone was in complete chaos.

It's virtually impossible for Solum and his group to get close to the "Wall of Mary." At this rate, it's unlikely they'll be able to approach the wall anytime soon.

"Let's get out of here quickly."

"Corina said."

She looked at the city gate with some fear. Now that the city gate was open, the area inside the city walls had become dangerous. If a giant got close, what would they be able to use to stop the giant's invasion?

"This place is really too dangerous."

"Then where should we go?"

"Of course, it's the mainland."

In this critical moment, there was no time to think. Anywhere inland was safe and could be used for refuge. Lin Yan tried to drive the covered wagon away, but there were just too many people on the road, making it difficult for the wagon to move.

"Let's get out of the car and walk."

Lin Yan assessed the situation and realized he was carrying his 3D Maneuver Gear. Leaving alone wouldn't be difficult, but he was accompanied by Senovon and Corinna. Senovon held a short sword, while Corinna looked at Lin Yan with some fear.

In this world, there are only a few people who truly care about him, and he will never abandon them.

"it is good."

"let's go."

They left the carriage. By this time, many people in the city had received news that the city gates had opened, and chaos reigned, with panic spreading everywhere. The soldiers and believers were on the verge of conflict, but now that the city gates were open, the greatest danger lay in their readiness. The soldiers were on high alert, knowing that if a giant appeared, they would be the first to be in danger.

"Let's go quickly."

Will those monsters really come in?

"I don't know, but the only thing we can do is get away from here."
