"They're treating us like criminals."
The Royal Military Police Corps was a lackey of the Royal Government, and the Royal Government's attitude towards the Survey Corps had always been ambiguous. In particular, more than a decade ago, the conservatives in the Royal Government even wanted to disband the Survey Corps or block the gates of the city wall.
The Survey Corps survived only after overcoming countless setbacks and obstacles.
At this moment, a new crisis has arisen.
No.
This is an even bigger crisis.
"This is no longer at the level of operating behind the scenes." Levi made a quick judgment; the situation was becoming increasingly urgent. It was no secret that the Military Police had been secretly clashing with the Survey Corps; in fact, it had always been done covertly.
They've become so blatant about it now.
It is clear that certain factions within the royal government are already unable to restrain themselves.
Their cake was disturbed, like a mad dog that would pounce on them and tear them apart without regard for the consequences.
"They've lost all sense of proportion."
Levi's fears have come true; the situation is now extremely disadvantageous for them. After all, those people aren't Titans, which can be easily killed. The Survey Corps has always been trained to fight Titans, not humans.
Squad Leader Hanji said thoughtfully.
"They'd go to such lengths to protect the secret of the Great Wall... and why did they want Allen, Lin Yan, and Historia...? They didn't want to..."

Squad Leader Han Ji fell into deep thought. She truly couldn't understand what the Central Committee's intentions were in doing this. Especially regarding Lin Yan, did the Central Committee think Lin Yan could be used? And who exactly were they targeting?
Or perhaps there's some kind of conspiracy.
"Not kill them, but get them alive."
"Who knows."
Levi couldn't guess their intentions either, and there was no time to think about such things now; it wasn't the best time for a long-term plan. He then gave Lin Yan, who remained silent to the side, a meaningful look.
Lin Yan also glanced at Levi.
He gave a somewhat helpless smile.
"Perhaps it's because they covet my talent."
"Perhaps he's after your body."
Squad Leader Hanji was in a state of high excitement again, but quickly realized that the situation couldn't be handled so recklessly. He adjusted his glasses and said solemnly, "Sorry, I just feel that they seem to have realized the importance of someone."
"However, we now know that the enemy's target is the three of them... Lin Yan's divine beast goes without saying, they have no way to deal with it... But Allen and Historia... we must protect them well."
Levi glanced at the Royal Military Police troops still searching in the distance and said.
“We can’t waste any more time here. We need to act quickly; time is of the essence now. We need to get them transferred to the Test District…”
"Why choose Test District, where Father Nick was murdered?"
Even an experienced member asked, quite surprised.
The others also showed expressions of confusion.
Lin Yan explained casually.
"Going back now is too dangerous. The safest place is the Test District, which is currently in a state of chaos. It will be easier for us to hide there while things are in disarray..."
This is exactly the explanation Levi was thinking of.
He nodded.
"And in the city, it would be absolutely necessary to use this guy."
Beneath Levi's cloak was the 3D Maneuver Gear, the weapon most proficient in by members of the Survey Corps. Thanks to Lin Yan's intervention, the original members of Levi's squad hadn't been completely wiped out, meaning Levi's squad had effectively doubled in size.
The cast includes veterans Oreo Bozzart, Elder King, Genta Schulz, and Petra Rall. New members include Lin Yan, Alan Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman, Armin, Jean Kirchstein, Connie Springer, and Sasha Braus.
The veteran members are all on standby.
At this moment, everyone around Levi is a new member.
"We will meet up with the old members in the city. At that time, everything will proceed according to our plan. No one is allowed to act on their own, except for Lin Yan."
Lin Yan was an exception every time.
Levi didn't impose any demands or rules on him.
After all, Lin Yan had always managed to turn the tide at crucial moments, which was arguably their biggest trump card—a trump card that had already been exposed to the enemy. But Lin Yan didn't care about any of that; the enemy was far too weak to be worth a second thought.
0651 Fragments of information, a corner of the puzzle [Please subscribe]
Since the other side has already launched its operation so eagerly, and so blatantly at that, Levi, being the type, would certainly not sit idly by and wait for death. "Running away is too passive. The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, which is already very disadvantageous for us. At the very least, we need to know who the enemy is so that we can know ourselves and our enemy and win every battle."
Squad Leader Hanji thought for a moment and then spoke.
“Then I’ll go back to Commander Erwin first… Let’s split up so we can keep in touch and avoid falling into their trap.”
After she finished speaking, she turned to mount her horse, but Allen stopped her and handed her a folded note.
"Squad Leader Hange, this is for you... I just remembered some conversations between Ymir and Bertholdt... I don't have time to repeat them to you, so I'll just write them here..."
"Understood, I'll read it later."
Alan was wrestling with Reiner Brown at the time, but he still remembered what Ymir and Bertholdt Hoover had said.
Berthold was the one who spoke first.
Bertholdt asked Ymir, "Ymir, when you turned back into a human... do you remember who you ate?"
"No, I don't remember. Could it be one of your companions? Oh, I'm sorry, I have no recollection of it at all."
"There's nothing we can do if we don't remember; we were the same back then..."
"is it?"
"It seems like Allen doesn't remember either."
"Oh I see."
"do you hate me?"
"How should I put it? I don't know... After all, you didn't want to go and eat people. How long have you been wandering outside the city walls?"
"It's been about sixty years, it feels like I'm living a nightmare from which I'll never wake up..."
This is their complete conversation.
These seemingly disjointed conversations left a deep impression on Eren, and many questions lingered in his mind. For example, what did "turning back to human" mean? Eren had firsthand experience of Titans being able to turn back into humans, so was "turning back to human" what it meant? No, definitely not. There was no need to deliberately bring these things up, since it wasn't a secret between them. So what exactly did "turning back to human" mean? And the phrase "who did they eat?" was also suspicious. Whether it was Eren, Reiner, Bertholdt, or Ymir, they wouldn't eat humans like other Titans after transforming into Titans. So who did Ymir eat? And why did she eat humans? What did "wandering outside the walls" mean? And what did "sixty years" mean?
These fragmented pieces of information are like a piece of a puzzle.
Allen was indeed unable to grasp the whole picture.
however--
Squad Leader Hanji, however, is different. With her rich experience, she is sure to find clues and solve this mystery.
Allen turned and glanced at Lin Yan, wanting to hear his opinion.
I had forgotten about it before.
The fiery clouds in the distant sky were particularly spectacular. Above the dense jungle, the dazzling colors resembled a beautiful painting, adding a tragic touch to this cruel world and the bloody events to come.
Lin Yan also gazed at the magnificent scenery. He was probably the only one in the mood to appreciate it, and also the only one who knew the truth.

"That guy is fast."
"After all, the training intensity is different, that little bean..." Under the same sky and the beautiful sunset, two people were talking. They were gazing at the distant scenery, but in their hearts they were plotting a dark and hopeless conspiracy.
Do you know him?
Another person asked, somewhat surprised.
"Old acquaintance."
A calloused hand pulled out a pistol, the tone quite mocking. The man, dressed in a cloak and wearing a cowboy hat, with a stubble-covered face and an arrogant look in his eyes, was Kenny Ackerman, a powerful figure who was once a legendary urban killer, later appointed as the captain of the ZY Military Police's human suppression unit.
Currently serving the Tires family and the Central Gendarmerie.
Kenny Ackerman was also the on-site commander of this operation targeting Allen, Lin Yan, and Historia; he was in charge of the operation.
The ZY Military Police leadership entrusted Kenny Ackerman with important responsibilities, and this Kenny Ackerman had a close relationship with Levi.
After all, Levi's full name is Levi Ackerman.
Kenny is Levi Ackerman's uncle and mentor, and possesses extremely high combat skills.
In his early years, he opposed the Central Military Police and killed many of them, earning him the nickname "Kenny the Throat Cutter".
Having learned from his grandfather about Ackerman's history of being ostracized by the royal family, Kenny attempted to assassinate Uri Reiss, the king of the walls at the time. He was defeated by Uri's Titan power, but Uri did not kill him. Instead, Uri knelt down and apologized to him, begging for forgiveness. Kenny was deeply moved and began working for the royal government to eliminate dissidents. Later, he learned from Uri that the power of the Titans could be passed down.
They believe in violence and want to know "what it feels like to have godlike power."
Therefore, after Uri's death, although he continued to serve the royal government led by Rod, he secretly wanted to seize the power of the Titans.
After submitting to Uri, he discovered that his sister was dead. He then took in Uri's son, Levi, and taught him fighting and survival skills. However, he felt that he was not qualified to be a father and left Levi after believing that Levi "possessed strength".
He once made fun of Levi's height.
The little guy in their conversation is Levi Ackerman.
As for whether Mikasa Ackerman has any connection with the two or it's just a coincidence, that remains unknown.
In addition, the Ackerman family is also a family with a legendary history.
The Ackermans are a very special race.
The three people who have appeared so far—Captain Levi, Mikasa, and Kenny—are all of this race, and their commonalities indicate that they are extremely powerful.
Through the conversation between Levi and Mikasa, it can be seen that their Ackerman family possesses immense power, but it needs to be activated at specific times. Mikasa activated her own energy when she witnessed her parents being killed and Eren being nearly strangled to death. Only after activation can she gain power. Therefore, currently only Levi, Mikasa, and Kenny have this energy. Although Mikasa's father is also a member of the Ackerman family, he has not activated his energy and therefore does not possess it.
Although the Ackerman family was very powerful, they were persecuted because they could not be brainwashed by the Founding Titan, and most of the Ackerman family members were killed.
0653 The Ackerman family, a warrior race. [Please subscribe]
King Reiss possesses the abilities of the Founding Titan, but no matter what he does, the memories of the Ackerman family cannot be erased. It is speculated that this is because of the blood ties with the Elgia, which prevents the erasure of their memories, just as the memories of some people in the Eastern races cannot be erased either.
Since it cannot be eliminated, the only option is to kill it.
The reason for the Ackerman family's strength has also been revealed. In general, it is because they were experimental subjects of the Titan experiments. Therefore, although their bodies are small, they contain the power of Titans. Their combat power is extraordinary, and the surge of power they exert in battle is unmatched by ordinary people. The Ackerman family became a warrior race.
Unfortunately, he was persecuted by the royal family.
Test District.
After Oluo Bozat, Elder King, Genta Schulz, and Petra Lar joined them, they began their operation.
Everyone was dressed casually and carried a backpack.
"Walk confidently and naturally, don't act awkwardly. Allen and Historia should also act as if nothing's wrong... Yes, just like Lin Yan..."
"Captain Levi said."
At the same time, his face darkened instantly.
He scanned his surroundings but couldn't see Lin Yan. He hadn't even noticed when Lin Yan had disappeared. This was a great humiliation for the strongest captain of the Survey Corps, and it was definitely a dark chapter in his history.
Where is Lin Yan?
"I don't know, he... seems to have disappeared again." Mikasa wasn't worried at all. Whenever Lin Yan acted alone, he always had a good reason, and this time was no exception. She chose to believe him without hesitation.
This reflects Mikasa's trust in Lin Yan and the tacit understanding between them.
"Let's keep going."
Levi was somewhat helpless but still had no way to do anything.
Connie looked around and asked with some curiosity.
"Why are there so many royal flags?"
