Berthold Hoover was indeed Reiner Brown's shadow, always following him around, almost inseparable. At the time, I only thought Berthold was introverted, and since he and Reiner were from the same hometown, I didn't suspect anything.
But now that I think about it, they were accomplices.
It wasn't just because they were from the same hometown, but also because they could cover for each other.
"I told you, didn't I? I told you right in front of you that Uncle Hennessy was eaten while protecting us... I told you, didn't I? Because you kicked down the city gate, a rock almost hit us... and Uncle Hennessy pushed us out, and he didn't have time to dodge... that's why Hennessy didn't escape... You know that, right? I told you everything!!! What were you thinking!!!!"
Bertholdt slowly turned around and looked at Allen.
"What were you thinking back then?!"
Eren Yeager was almost out of control. If it weren't for his arm and the surrounding situation, Eren would have actually transformed into a Titan and fought him to the death.
Bertholdt said slowly.
"At that time... I felt... very sorry..."
"Is that so? You are neither warriors nor soldiers... you are just murderers, serial killers who have murdered countless innocent people."
Alan Yeager shouted loudly.
His eyes were wide open, and he was in a state of extreme excitement and anger as he stared angrily at Reiner and Bertholdt.
Reiner suddenly roared in fury, his face contorted with rage, waving his arms and glaring at Allen.
"I already know all of this!! You don't need to tell me specifically."
"Then stop pretending to be human and suffering! You are no longer human. You are the ones who turned this world into hell! Do you understand? You murderers!!! You are murderers, ruthless murderers!! Despicable, despicable!!"

"Then what else do you want to find from the murderer?!" Reiner Brown and Alan Yeager were both very agitated, and the scene was extremely tense. The air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder, as if it could ignite at the slightest spark.
Ymir, on the other hand, observed from the sidelines.
"Do you want us to reflect on our actions? Do you want us to apologize? Would that satisfy you?"
Rainer Brown's words once again provoked Alan Yeager, whose face gradually contorted. Filled with boundless hatred and resentment at being betrayed, Alan Yeager was like a volcano about to erupt, ready to burst at any moment.
"The version of us you know no longer exists. If crying and making a scene makes you feel better, then go ahead and keep making a scene."
The air was suddenly quiet.
Allen seemed to quiet down as well.
His voice was deep.
"Yes. I was still... too naive... I need to keep trying... so that you, so that you die as painfully as possible..."
"This isn't right."
Ymir said softly.
Eren looked at Ymir with a puzzled expression.
"Please, Allen, stop saying such childish things, or I really can't count on you anymore..." She looked at Reiner, "I'm asking you, Reiner, what's the deal with that monkey?"
monkey?
It likely refers to the Beast Giant.
The Beast Titan is one of the Nine Titans, and its form and abilities are closely related to its host. Zeke's Beast Titan resembles a gibbon and is covered in body hair.
He was tall, with arms that reached below his knees.
The Beast Titan also has other hosts and forms. For example, Kusawa's Beast Titan resembles a sheep. He once joked that he couldn't go to the battlefield. He is a Titan scholar who would rather sacrifice the rest of his lifespan to understand the essence of Titans and conduct Titan research based on the inherited memories of his ancestors.
There are also beast giants that resemble reindeer, such as the reindeer-type beast giant.
Of course, Rainer Brown wouldn't obediently reveal such important information to others, so he pretended to be clueless and replied...
"Monkey? What monkey?"
"Are you playing dumb with me? I remember when you two saw that monkey, your eyes were shining, and now you're saying you don't know anything about the monkey? You should know what I'm talking about, right? Reiner, those shining eyes were like a child's."
What are you referring to as [houzi]?
Alan Yeager was also very interested in their conversation, after all, their dialogue was too incredible.
“Listen to me… that monkey giant is the mastermind behind this riot. He's the one who caused the giants to appear inside the city walls. His purpose is probably to test our strength. The two of them are probably heading to the location of that monkey-like beast giant. As long as you follow him, you can return to your hometown, right?”
Ymir hit the nail on the head.
That hit the nail on the head regarding what Reiner was thinking.
"So you knew all along!" Eren looked at Ymir in surprise. Did Ymir know all this from the beginning? Then could Ymir still be trusted? If Ymir wasn't trustworthy, then wouldn't she be...?

Isolated!
Alan Yeager suddenly flew into a rage. "What else do you know? Tell me everything! Tell me everything you know, do you hear me?!"
"Don't say that, I also have my own unspeakable reasons."
Ymir had anticipated Eren's emotional outburst, but now was no time to continue hiding it, even if it meant exposing her identity. However, Ymir was still reluctant to reveal the secret buried deep within her heart.
"An unspeakable secret? What unspeakable secret?!"
Allen was furious, like a stray dog trying to bite someone.
He shouted loudly at Ymir.
They were venting their inner emotions.
Ymir looked at Allen with a serious expression and said, "Allen, if you think that getting rid of those two will solve the problem, you are sorely mistaken."
"So what exactly is the enemy?"
Allen was even more surprised and wanted to know the truth.
"Enemies? To put it bluntly, they are..."
“Ymir! Do you think this world has a future?” Reiner Brown suddenly interrupted Ymir, his words causing a look of astonishment and surprise to flash in Ymir’s eyes!
In order to cover up the truth, Rainer Brown made a choice.
That is to win over Ymir.
By reducing the strength of the giants possessed by the humans inside the walls, the enemy's fighting power can be weakened to the greatest extent, thus achieving victory.
He spoke with great passion and enthusiasm.
"Since you know so much, you should think about your escape route. If you're willing, you can join our side!"
"Are you trying to make me believe you?"
Ymir's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.
"Don't overthink it, you guys don't believe me at all, do you?"
"No, we are willing to believe you. We share the same goal, and your goal is to protect Christa, right? On this point, we can completely trust each other."
Rainer Brown seemed to have hit the nail on the head.
Ymir truly cared about Christa, or Historia. Besides the guilt she felt for accidentally eating Marcel years ago, another reason Ymir ultimately chose to follow Reiner was her lack of belonging to the world within the walls.
It wasn't because she was unhappy during the years inside the wall, but because her awakening from the mindless giant was like a dream.
While the feeling of being reborn is certainly liberating, the sense of emptiness that comes from having a life "stolen" from someone else is also quite strong.
Only the world outside the island retains memories of his life before his death.
It's understandable that she gave up on taking Historia off the island, because she knew that the outside world was another hell.
Ymir constantly preached to Historia to live for herself, yet she always risked her life to save her.
After all, she was the only thing Ymir cared about in her seemingly whimsical life.
As for Historia, our little princess, that cry of living for herself without fear was probably a brief, fireworks-like burst of her self-will. The revelation of her ugly family background and the bloody storm of the royal court were just the initial baptism.
Unlike Ymir, who faced death with equanimity, she began a long and arduous life.
There is only one Ymir in this world!

That was Ymir, belonging to Christa. Perhaps her love was the purest and cleanest love in the world? And Christa?
"You might think I'm joking, but I still have to say it. Actually, you're not the only one who's single-mindedly thinking about Christa. We're willing to do something for her too. Or do you think Eren's power is more trustworthy than ours? You're probably thinking about how to use Eren to escape from our control, right? Because you feel that being taken away by us means there's no hope of rescue. Actually, you're right. Even if you come with us, your personal safety isn't guaranteed... But if it's just Christa, we can still think of a way... Do you want your own short-lived life, or Christa's future? The choice is yours..."
Humans who inherit the power of the Titans can only live for thirteen years.
The first Titan, Ymir Fritz, easily defeated the Marleyan Empire with the power of the Titans, and then carried out a genocide.
After signing the contract, all Eldians could transform into Titans, while other races lived under the terrifying rule of the Titans.
Thirteen years later, Ymir Fritz died, and she divided her power into nine parts, which were inherited by the nine Titans, or the nine Eldians.
Of these nine powers, the strongest is the Founding Titan, which possesses the ability to rule over all Titans, including the other eight.
A thousand years later, the eight families of powerful giants were no longer united and began to fight each other.
At this time, the remnants of the Marleyan Empire seized the opportunity to instigate a rebellion against the seven Titan families, ultimately destroying the Eldian Empire. In retaliation for the Eldians' reign of terror, Marley imprisoned the Titans in concentration camps, subjecting them to bloody torture.
At that time, the Eldian Emperor, who inherited the power of the Founding Titan, led a small group of Titans to retreat to a small island, where the Colossal Titan became the three walls surrounding the island. He then erased the memories of the Titans and lived a life of seclusion.
From then on, the Marleyan Empire and the Eldian island nation agreed to a no-aggression policy.
However, why a non-aggression treaty had to be signed remains a mystery.
The giants who remained on the continent were in dire straits, being arbitrarily slaughtered and tormented by the Marleyans in concentration camps.
Allen's father grew up in a concentration camp.
Therefore, Eren, Reiner, Bertholdt, Annie, Ymir, and others will all die thirteen years after inheriting the power of the Titans.
However, Annie fell into a deep sleep.
So is she still subject to the thirteen-year restriction?
“Ymir, I won’t force you. Think it over carefully,” Reiner said.
What Alan Yeager cares about most is what Reiner meant by saying, "There is no hope in this world." What does it mean? And what does "[houzi]" refer to?
Allen had far too many questions in his mind.
what is the problem?
"Hey, tell me already!" Allen shouted at Ymir, "Who exactly is the enemy?"
Their conversation contained too much unknown information, making Allen even more anxious. He wondered what secret deals they had made or what hidden secrets they were concealing, which might be crucial information for humanity.
"Ymir!"
"Who knows."
Ymir has clearly changed his mind!
0599 The situation is settled. [Please subscribe]
What Ymir cared about most was not his life or death. Having wandered for fifty or sixty years, Ymir knew the price of becoming human again. Her life was running out, but Christa's life was still very long.
She deserves a stable home.
This is the best gift Ymir could give Christa; at least Ymir has gone to great lengths and spared no effort for Christa.
This love transcends gender, stance, identity, background... nothing can stop Ymir from thinking only of Christa. Reiner Brown, seeing Ymir's attitude clearly, spoke to the increasingly agitated Eren.
"Unfortunately, the situation is already set, Allen."
At this moment, Bertholdt jumped from another branch to Reiner Brown's side. It seemed they were about to take action. If Alan was taken back to Reiner's hometown, his fate would be completely changed. Outside the city walls was the real hell, with cruel concentration camps, from which Alan's father had escaped.
boom!
A chance of green smoke rising up.
Those are green smoke grenades.
The green smoke grenades indicate the direction of advance, which was determined by Irwin Smith.
