All in vain.
give up.
This thought kept flashing through Annie's mind. From childhood, Annie had been treated as a pawn and given the best training. All the combat skills she learned were designed to target humans. She was a spy trained from a young age.
Annie's adoptive father was very strict with her.
There was absolutely no family affection involved.
There is no trace of tenderness.
Compassion is out of the question.
This was Annie's childhood, a childhood shrouded in dust and smog, with nothing to reminisce about. But perhaps only Annie herself could see the sadness in her heart, a sadness hidden behind her stubbornness and indifference.
Armin once saw through Annie, and that was the gentleness and kindness behind Annie's indifference.
That side was well hidden.
Run away.
The thought grew stronger and stronger in Yani's mind. Since she couldn't defeat Lin Yan, her only option was to run away. She had to use all her strength to escape right now, because only in this way could she have a sliver of hope for survival.
Perhaps, in the next second, Lin Yan will change his mind and hunt her down.
after all--
She was a giant hated by mankind, a heinous demon.

"careful.".
During the confrontation, Mikasa Ackerman seemed to see different expressions in the Female Titan's eyes. A question flashed through her mind: could Titans also have emotional changes? But then she thought about how this Titan possessed a truly human being hidden within her.
Therefore, there will be no more doubts.
What on earth is she going to do?
A life-or-death struggle?
perish together!
This sense of danger permeated every cell of her body, and Mikasa Ackerman couldn't help but shout it out.
But the next second, Mikasa's eyes widened.
Her almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise.
The giantess wasn't about to fight to the death; instead, she turned and fled frantically. It was definitely not a fighting stance, but rather a figure desperately trying to escape.
"Ran?"
Mikasa Ackerman was also somewhat incredulous that the opponent, a Titan, had fled in such a sorry state, like a stray dog running away with its tail between its legs.
But that was the reality. Annie, now a giant, began to flee without a second thought. The so-called missions seemed unimportant in the face of her escape; fear had permeated every corner of her body.
The only option left was to run away.
"Aren't you going to chase me?"
Mikasa asked in confusion.
After all, the boy in front of him stood there upright, without making any further move.
"We're just going to let her get away like that?"
"Ah."
"What? No, I'm going after them."
"Stop chasing. Don't pursue a cornered enemy. Don't forget that there are still many people outside this dangerous wall, constantly facing the danger of losing their lives. What we need to do now is to gather everyone together and then return to the inside of the wall."
Mikasa's words immediately calmed her down.
Now is not the time for personal heroism fueled by hatred; what she needs to do is follow Lin Yan's instructions.
The signal flare exploded in the air.
Everyone saw the signal flare; it was the signal for rendezvous. Whether it was Levi's special operations squad, Armin's squad, or Levi operating alone, everyone saw the signal flare soaring into the sky.
This is a special signal flare.
There is only one holder – Alvin Smith.
Besides Erwin Smith, another person was actually given authority over this expedition: Lin Yan. This was a secret between Lin Yan and Erwin Smith, and another person who knew about it was Levi.
"Meet up".
"action."
"Set off."
"go ahead."
Everyone huddled together, changing their battle formation to ensure everyone could return alive to the walls. When Armin saw Mikasa and Lin Yan again, he was almost in tears; his heart was pounding.
Sasha also cried her eyes out.
Others also expressed similar sentiments.
However, they are not out of danger yet and must remain vigilant at all times.
In this evacuation operation, only two people covered the rear: Lin Yan and Levi. At this moment, Lin Yan was also full of fighting spirit, and the familiar voice of the system rang in his mind once again...

[Ding! Changes detected in the host's surrounding environment. A daily check-in task is being generated. Please defeat the attacking giants. The reward depends on the number of giants defeated. Leaving before the countdown ends will result in task failure. There is no penalty for task failure. Successful check-in will grant system rewards.]
[Ding, check-in environment is about to be met, please check in.]
A red signal flare soared into the sky.
"giant."
"It's a giant."
As they drew closer, increasingly clear figures came into view in the distance—the figures of giants. These giants ranged in size from three or four meters to over ten meters, and the expressions on their faces were all one of absurdity and terror.
The attacking giants...
One.
two……
More giants.
"Array".
Lin Yan and Erwin Smith had previously discussed that if this situation arose, Erwin Smith would lead the team forward, while Lin Yan and Levi would cover the rear. This special formation had been carefully considered to ensure minimal casualties.
"go ahead!!"
Lin Yan shouted loudly.
The soldiers advanced steadily on command, knowing their mission was over and their greatest task was to return safely to the city walls.
Combat on flat ground greatly limits the effectiveness of 3D maneuver systems.
"coming."
Lin Yan leaped into the air, his figure flashing like a streak of light as he hurtled towards the giants, almost without pause. Four giants had already fallen, their falls so perfectly synchronized that they seemed to die at the same time.
Lin Yan was the first to fight against the Titans, and Levi was not to be outdone, killing two Titans in one go afterward.
These are the first giants to attack.
The procession kept moving forward.
They all witnessed this amazing scene and were deeply shocked.
"As expected of Captain Levi, he's truly amazing."
"Lin Yan truly deserves to be called the God of War."
"We are so honored to be able to fight alongside them."
"Yes, they are our heroes."
……
The soldiers teetering on the brink of death had no fear of death in their eyes, but rather a hope for life. They were willing to give their hearts to humanity, but they also struggled to survive, for only by surviving could they better uncover the secrets of the Titans.
Being fearless does not mean throwing your life away.
"go ahead."
Irwin Smith kept issuing orders.
The soldiers were all invigorated.
Along the way, the soldiers witnessed what godlike fighting prowess looked like, and their deeds would be spread far and wide. In the final kilometer, all the soldiers saw the city walls, and by this time, the giants were becoming increasingly rare.
"Open the door."
At the most critical moment, the city gates roared open.
At the critical moment, the city gates opened and everyone entered the city walls. The instant the city gates closed, Lin Yan and Levi also climbed onto the city walls.
By this time, the gunners on the city wall were ready, and at a command, deafening cannon fire rang out: "Fire!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the daily check-in task. You have defeated 25 giants. Based on the number of giants defeated, the task reward is being generated...]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the mission reward. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Flame of Zhurong.]
A system notification sounded on Lin Yan's alarm clock, and at the same time, every star in the known universe appeared in Lin Yan's field of vision.
These stars are scattered in every corner of the universe, like tiny fireflies, creating a dreamlike and exceptionally beautiful scene.
He also felt a connection between himself and these stars.
It seemed as if an energy was constantly flowing into his limbs and bones, and his body gradually became warm, but not hot.
Could it be——
Lin Yan was overjoyed; this was something he hadn't expected.
Zhu Rong, also known as Chongli, was the great-grandson of Zhuanxu, the grandson of Cheng, the son of Laotong, and the father of Prince Changqin. He was also the official title of the Xia official in charge of fire during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, synonymous with Grand Marshal. Several famous figures named Zhu Rong in history were later worshipped as fire gods and stove gods. The Zhu Rong clan also originated from multiple sources, historically including the Zhu Rong clan of the Zhuanxu lineage and the Zhu Rong clan of the Yan Emperor lineage.
Among them, the descendants of Emperor Yan, the Xia official of Emperor Huang, and Zhu Rong Rong Guang were the stove god and fire god of the south; Zhuanxu Huo Zheng, Wu Hui's elder brother, and Zhu Rong Chong Li were the stove god and fire god of the north; and Zhuanxu's great-grandson Wu Hui was reinstated as the fire official Zhu Rong after Emperor Ku deposed Chong Li.
During the reign of Emperor Yao, the official title of Zhurong was abandoned and the title of Sima was adopted. Qi, the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty, was the Fire Minister and Grand Marshal Ebo "Zi Xie", who was the fire god of the Shang people.
The *Book of Jin* records: "Emperor Gaoyang's son, Chongli, was the 'Xia Guan Zhurong' (夏官祝融)." This clearly tells us that Zhurong was the official title of the Xia Guan (夏官). Besides the *Book of Jin*, the *Zuo Zhuan* also records Zhurong as the official title of the Xia Guan. The *Zuo Zhuan*, in the 29th year of Duke Zhao, states: "The Wood Official is called Goumang, the Fire Official is called Zhurong, the Metal Official is called Rushou, the Water Official is called Xuanming, and the Earth Official is called Houtu." The Wood Official mentioned here refers to the Spring Official, the Fire Official to the Summer Official, the Metal Official to the Autumn Official, and the Water Official to the Winter Official. Therefore, the *Zuo Zhuan*'s statement that the Fire Official was called Zhurong means that the official title of the Xia Guan was Zhurong.
The Records of the Grand Historian, in the chapter on the State of Chu, states: "Chongli, who served as the fire official, was named Zhurong, and Wu Hui, who also served as the fire official, was named Zhurong." Zhurong, the ancestor of the State of Chu, was originally named Wu Hui, but was named Zhurong by Emperor Ku because of his position as the fire official.
Unlike his first acquisition of the Zhurong Flame, this time Lin Yan controlled it perfectly, sealing the surging energy within his body tightly.
"The Survey Corps is back."
"It's the Survey Corps."
Every time the Survey Corps returns from an expedition, a large crowd gathers to watch, mostly local residents, and this time was no exception.
The expressions of the onlookers varied.
Some of them were people who placed their hopes on the Survey Corps, some were children who admired the Survey Corps, and some were families of the soldiers who had gone on expeditions, waiting for their return.
A stumbling woman rushed into the line.
She looked at her son, who was returning from his first expedition, with tears welling up in her eyes.
I couldn't help but burst into tears.
"You're back, you're back alive, son!"
"Mother."
The soldier was also filled with guilt. His mother must have endured immense pressure during her first expedition to become so haggard and frail.
