It was a giant with curly hair, very tall, lying leisurely on the lawn under the trees.
He rested his head on his arm with one hand.
He was holding the tree with his other hand.
There are even smaller giants on his body.
The comparison reveals the enormous size of this giant.
“Look at that giant… he looks like he’s taking a leisurely rest… but his eyes are fixed on us…”
It's impossible for an average human to stare like that without blinking.
Blinking actually plays an important role in protecting the eyes.
The eyelids contain many thin, striated and smooth muscles with well-developed nerve innervation, allowing for free opening and closing of the eyelids. Each blink squeezes the lacrimal glands to secrete more tears, ensuring the tear film evenly covers the corneal surface, relieving discomfort caused by dry eye, promoting the capillary action of the lacrimal puncta on the conjunctival sac to facilitate normal tear drainage, and preventing epiphora.
If you blink reactively in response to certain external stimuli, it is a proprioceptive response that can effectively prevent damage to the eyes from external stimuli.
Under normal circumstances, the number of blinks is about fifteen per minute.
But the giant could stare at them without blinking, which could mean two things: first, that the giant's physical functions were indeed different; and second, that the giant was definitely coveting them and monitoring them.
If anything happens.
The first to launch an attack must be this strange-looking giant.
“There are many smaller giants below, and they are also difficult to deal with individually. If they launch a group attack, we will also be in danger.”
Ymir then pointed in another direction.
"There's another big one over there..."
It was a giant with a strangely short hairstyle.
Half of his body was hidden by the tree trunk.
But it was like a spy, watching them the whole time.
"He kept watching us but didn't come any closer... He must be a very cautious guy... and so must they be..."
Ymir then pointed in another direction.
She was analyzing the current situation for Alan Yeager in an attempt to dissuade him from acting impulsively.
Ymir was pointing at Rainer Brown and Berthold Hoover.
At this moment, both Rainer Brown and Berthold Hoover were standing on the tree branch, their attention also focused on Ymir and Alan Yeager.
They seem more threatening than the giants.
This made Allen even more concerned.
"Those two despicable bastards... They're both wearing their 3D Maneuver Gear perfectly fine, and Reiner's is yours! Under these circumstances, rashly transforming into a Titan is not the best course of action." On one hand, there's the threat from Titans, and on the other hand, there's the surveillance and threat from Reiner Brown and Bertholdt Hoover. The situation is far from optimistic.
"Not only can they pull this trick, but they can also escape to higher trees in dangerous situations. How convenient!"

"These two despicable scoundrels really know how to think of themselves!"
Ymir said with a hint of disdain.
In fact, he said this to protect himself. At this time, only by being on the same side as Alan Yeager could he have a chance to escape together.
What she cared about most wasn't justice, but Historia Reis, or rather Christa Lance.
The 3D Maneuver Gear can be used to its fullest potential in the Giant Tree Forest, ensuring their safety from giants.
Without the 3D Maneuver Gear, Eren Yeager and Ymir, fighting bare-handed, appear somewhat weak and powerless.
With such a power imbalance, no one but a fool would act rashly.
Ymir's analysis was very insightful.
Alan Yeager was clearly not a fool; he could naturally understand their current situation perfectly.
"Putting all that aside, we're surrounded by giants. Even with the power of a giant, it would be difficult to leave this giant territory alive. Do you understand? Our situation is dire; we simply can't afford to let you cause any trouble."
Ymir's patience was actually due to a variety of considerations.
Who knows what this impulsive guy will do?
At that point, things will spiral out of control.
Ymir was also implicated.
Alan Yeager seemed to be thinking. He slowly lowered his eyes, a hint of disappointment flashing in them.
But a voice interrupted them.
That was Reiner Brown, who had been observing Ymir and Eren Yeager's every move with his arms crossed. Since he had returned to his warrior identity, his aura and personality seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, making him seem like a completely different person.
His tone was calm yet firm.
"No, in the end, you can't become giants at all! Becoming a giant isn't something you can just do on a whim."
In this respect, Reiner Brown was indeed the more experienced one. After all, Eren Yeager didn't even know he possessed the power of a Titan before his first Titan transformation, and the human faction knew very little about Titans.
Now let's talk about Ymir.
Although I knew more about him and had been with him for longer than Alan Yeager.
However, ever since she transformed back into a human from a Pure Titan, she has had no chance to continue using the Titan powers she possessed.
Therefore, I don't know much about it.
Rainer Brown was born in the Reberio concentration camp in Marais.
His father was Marleyan, and his mother, Karina Brown, was Eldian. From a young age, Reiner aspired to become a Titan warrior so that he could become an honorary Marleyan and live with his parents.
Reiner was very hardworking during his training period, but his talents were all quite average; his only outstanding quality was his extreme loyalty to Marley.
Finally, he became a candidate for Giant Warrior along with Annie, Bertholdt, Piqué, Marseille Galliad, and Porck Galliad.
Even so, Reiner was still the worst among them. The task of inheriting the Titan was to select five people from the six candidates, and it seemed unlikely that he, being the last one, would be chosen.
However, things didn't go as Reiner expected, and he was ultimately chosen as the Armored Titan...
0586 The Chosen One [Please Subscribe]
They chose Reiner Brown, while the one who was always considered a strong candidate was ultimately not chosen as the Titan.
Overjoyed, Reiner shared the good news with his mother. Now they were honorary Malleyans.
Reiner found his father, but his father had no intention of seeing him and his words were filled with disgust for Reiner and his mother.
Reiner's dream of living with his parents was shattered.
But even so.
Reiner still believes he is a Marleyan Titan warrior.
This is Reiner's pride—the chosen one.
But what is the truth? In reality, whether it is the Malay camp or the regime inside the wall, their goal is to deceive the eyes of all the people they have instructed. They are just pawns, and these brainwashed children are no exception.
This includes Rainer Brown, Berthold Hoover, and Anna, as well as Alan Yeager.
In reality, both Levi and Erwin Smith were deceived.
Lin Yan, on the other hand, is a true outsider, which is why he selectively helps the forces within the walls without disrupting the basic balance.
Good and evil in this world.
It's not really about good or evil.
Reiner Brown looked at Ymir and Eren and continued, "Your stamina is limited. You've already exhausted a lot of energy just repairing yourselves, and you have no strength left to move, including the possibility of transforming into Titans."
"Who are you kidding? Who would believe your nonsense?!"
Alan Yeager glared at Rainer Brown.
In this situation, and given that it was Reiner who captured them, how could they possibly believe the lies of such a despicable and cunning enemy?
These are all their tricks.
Eren Yeager was convinced of this, because Reiner Brown had fabricated the lie to prevent him from turning into a Titan and disrupting his plans.
on the other hand.
Alan Yeager is also very dissatisfied with the current inaction, dissatisfied with his own incompetence and stupidity.
We must break free from the current situation.
Otherwise, once the rescue plan begins...
Then a large number of soldiers will die.
They died trying to save him, which will have a huge negative impact on his mind and leave a lasting shadow.
At that moment, a bloody image flashed through Alan Yeager's mind.
People were constantly being eaten by the giants, and in their final moments of death, they let out pitiful screams and died tragically.
How desolate this is.
Even corpses cannot be laid to rest intact.
Death itself is not terrible, but being devoured alive while fully conscious is a different story.
No.
We must not allow this situation to occur.
Alan Jaeger was frantically thinking; he had to find a way to escape, he was sure he could! But his mind was blank; he had no idea how to break free from Rainer Brown's control.
At this point, Ymir remarked, "However, I don't really understand the power of the Titans either... Unlike you, I'm not entirely clear on the intricacies of it."

Ymir appeared calm and collected, but she was also involved in the scheme. Eren Yeager's impulsive nature was like a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment, and all she could do was try to persuade him not to set himself on fire.
She crossed her arms and looked at Rainer Bronn.
"Hey, Reiner. Didn't you say you'd tell us when Eren woke up? What are you planning to do with us now?"
This was Ymir testing Reiner Brown's attitude, and that was the most important thing.
Only by assessing Rainer Brown's attitude can they determine whether their current situation can be delayed or is urgent, in order to formulate a plan.
Of course, this was just a test.
Moreover, they couldn't get the understanding and cooperation of Allen, that stubborn and impulsive guy, so it was still very difficult.
Reiner Brown also knew that Ymir and Eren's bodies would need some time to heal, and they were powerless to resist or escape.
Since we agreed back then, it's okay to reveal a little bit now; it won't have a significant impact on the world.
So he said.
“I want to take you back to my homeland. Although I know you won’t obediently follow my orders, as you said, Ymir, this is the Giant Tree Forest, the lair of the Titans. If we fight here, we’ll only become food for other Titans after we’ve exhausted ourselves. In other words, until night falls when the Titans are unable to move, there’s nothing we can do but wait here patiently. Whether you manage to escape from me or I take you away, we can only wait until it gets dark.”
"Why didn't you choose to return to your hometown in the Armored Titan form, but instead chose to stay here?"
Ymir's personality is different from Eren Yeager's.
After all, she had been wandering outside as a filthy giant for fifty or sixty years, and had also been living a peaceful life lurking inside the city walls.
She is quite perceptive.
It allows one to perceive subtle details.
For example, what a shrewd person like Alan Yeager couldn't see was the real reason and motivation behind Rainer Brown's stay.
"Is it because you're tired and want to rest?"
In fact, this idea coincided with the thoughts of Lin Yan and Squad Leader Han Ji.
In the original series, Squad Leader Hange stated, "Even if they possess the power of Titans, being outside the walls still puts them at risk of being attacked by other Titans. After all, they've just experienced a fierce battle; even if they aren't as exhausted as Eren, their losses must be significant. Annie seems to have fallen asleep as a result. Let's assume their destination is outside Wall Maria, and further assume they're completely exhausted and unable to sustain such a long journey. In that case, they would likely find a place away from Titans to rest. They'll set off again after dark when the Titans are unable to move."
That's truly a brilliant guess.
