"After all, this is our usual practice."
"The man with the bowl cut spoke in a cold, emotionless voice, like a machine," he said. He was ruthless in his pursuit of power, believing that their rule was the absolute law of the world.
This is their consistent practice.
That means that any opponents who had previously opposed their rule were dealt with in such a despicable way.
At this moment, a soldier came to deliver a message.
The greasy-faced man with a middle parting unfolded the envelope and said, "It's a letter from Reis... They seem to have captured Allen and Historia, but they haven't seen Lin Yan... Their plan is still ongoing. I believe that with these two as bait, Lin Yan will be captured as well."
He said, somewhat shocked.
This was indeed good news for them, but the news was already outdated. They were unaware that Lin Yan had already rescued Allen and Historia from their clutches—how foolish of them.
"They will take the necessary measures against Erwin and the Survey Corps next."
He continued.
"We don't need to take any further action."
at the same time.
Inside a room, Erwin Smith looked out the window, while the military police commander, Neil Decker, standing in the doorway, said, "The search should be over. If you want your personal belongings back, please wait a moment, Commander Erwin."
"No, no need."
"Irwin Smith turned around and said."
"I've been wanting to talk to you about this."
The relationship between the Military Police and the Survey Corps has always been one of covert rivalry. Neil Decker also harbors resentment towards Erwin Smith, especially regarding the last operation, which Neil Decker considers reckless and irresponsible.
She was in the same training class as Erwin Smith, the commander of the Survey Corps. She is at odds with Erwin, believing that the Survey Corps is a gathering place for a bunch of weirdos, and often doubts the strategies they implement and the ideas they express.
Military Police Commander Neil Decker always did his job diligently.
I never dare to overstep the bounds.
However, he also lost the ability to think. To the rulers who controlled the king, he was indeed an obedient and useful pawn. Only obedient pawns are valuable and effective.
While Alvin Smith was also limited by the times and his surroundings, he was able to think independently and fight against the entire regime for the sake of humanity within the walls.
That's what makes them different.
Ultimately, it was a tragic fate.
At that moment, Neil Decker coldly rejected his request.
"I don't want to hear you reminisce about the past."
"How cold-hearted, Nail."
Erwin Smith sat down calmly and continued, "Weren't we comrades who aspired to join the Survey Corps together? This small world is changing, is it hope or despair...? Must we entrust the future of humanity to those people...? Who will choose? Who gets to choose? Whom do you believe?"
He repeatedly asked these questions, questions that Alvin Smith had also been pondering.
Episode 0665: Elwin, A Gamble [Please Subscribe]
Erwin Smith is the commander of the Survey Corps, which is under the rule of the Central Plains. However, this does not mean that the Survey Corps is solely loyal to the Central Plains. Their duty is to protect the people here and safeguard their personal safety.
They are loyal to humanity.
Not the regime.
Therefore, when making certain choices, Alvin Smith's starting point is somewhat different from that of the military police commander who simply pledges allegiance to the regime. After all, the two have different positions, and it remains to be seen whether Alvin can persuade this rigid man.
Alvin Smith slowly struck a match.
The faint glow of the match flickered.
It's pulsating.
The flame reflected in Alvin Smith's eyes, making his wild eyes sparkle.
Neil Decker looked surprised.
"Elwin, what exactly do you want to do?"
"A gamble that has become commonplace."
Ever since Erwin Smith chose the Survey Corps, he has been gambling with his fate, and the stakes are his life. Now, for the sake of the people within the walls, he is going to gamble again, a gamble of absolute desperation.
He knew that the bigger the stakes, the greater the potential profits.
of course.
The risks are also greater.
However, he chose to take a gamble.
Neil Decker's expression wavered slightly. His eyes widened in surprise for a moment before regaining their composure. After parting ways with Alvin Smith, he would likely fall into self-doubt and reflection. This was a crossroads in life that everyone had to face.
Irwin Smith chose to wait and see.
Human actions are left to fate.
His door was pushed open.
Squad Leader Hanji burst in, her face not showing fear but rather an expression of understanding.
"They did indeed target Allen and Historia. Although they were kidnapped, they were fortunately rescued thanks to Lin Yan's intervention. It was a close call... We suspect they won't let this go so easily. That Kenny... Kenny the Ripper hasn't been caught yet. He and the others have escaped... There will likely be further actions."
She was so thirsty that she walked to the table and drank the water in her glass completely.
I still felt a little unsatisfied.
"But there's another headache. That's Alan recalling the conversation between Bertholdt Hoover and Ymir. If that's true, my head is about to explode..."
Squad Leader Hanji covered his head.
He simply couldn't believe the conclusion he had reached.
That would overturn all her understanding.
Irwin Smith poured Hange another glass of water, which Hange took rudely and drank.
"What exactly happened?"
"They want to capture Allen, probably to eat him. There's a huge secret behind this."
"Squad Leader Hanji said."
At this point, Squad Leader Hange explained her idea: the Titans' abilities are inherited in this way, meaning that if they can obtain Eren, they can seize his abilities. To them, Eren is both a source of power and a destabilizing factor.

Regardless, the Survey Corps is in a very difficult situation right now. The Survey Corps has always been in a delicate position. Previously, the conservatives had wanted to disband the Survey Corps, but at that time, the Survey Corps had not yet touched the core interests of the Royal Government.
The core of the monarchy is actually the secret of the giants.
but……
The Survey Corps has now touched the very edge of the monarchy's core interests. Once the Survey Corps learns the secret of the Titans, the government within the walls will become unstable, and it may even trigger a large-scale popular uprising and rebellion.
Their power would be threatened.
Under Levi's leadership, Levi's squad and all of Hange's men went into hiding in a secluded location. Furthermore, Squad Leader Hange and her team captured a member of the Central Military Police, who was imprisoned in a secret place.
He is currently being questioned by Squad Leader Hanji.
Of course, this also includes executions.
The man was beaten black and blue and tied to a chair, blood constantly flowing from his mouth, looking utterly wretched.
Squad Leader Hanji said threateningly.
The tone was somewhat teasing.
She needs to instill fear in the person being questioned through her imposing manner, which will break down their psychological defenses.
"Sorry, I'm not as good at plucking as Sanes. Just how many nails did you pluck to become so skilled?"
"I've lost count."
The man being interrogated by Squad Leader Hange is Gersanes.
He became a central military policeman in his youth, serving as a guard for the Reiss family and loyally protecting the monarchy and peace within the walls; he met Kenny Ackman, who joined later.
To ensure peace and security within the walls, he participated in numerous clandestine assassinations.
Father Nick, who was suspected of leaking the secrets of the city walls, was tortured to death, and his death was deliberately framed as a robbery and murder committed by bandits.
Later, to avenge Nick, Hange plotted to capture him alive and, together with Revy, tortured him to force him to reveal information about the Reiss family. Finally, after overhearing his accomplice Ralph being coerced by Revy into reading a fabricated conversation, Hange realized he had been betrayed by his partner, abandoned the attempt to conceal the truth, and revealed to Hange that the Reiss family was the legitimate royal family.
After the revolution, they were sent to a prison that housed members of the old regime.
"I've lost count. Do you know why there hasn't been a war within these narrow city walls? It's because our First Military Police Regiment is willing to get their hands dirty to protect this peace."
Sanes spoke with great righteousness, as if they were the world's heroes who saved the peace of the world.
Moreover, they are not understood by the world.
He was an unsung hero who disregarded personal gain or loss.
However, this foolish man was unaware that he too had been used; he was nothing more than a foolish pawn in the king's game.
They were all deceived, yet they believed they knew the cruel truth that needed to be hidden.
"Whether it's a shrewd teacher, a foolish couple who want to fly... or a prostitute on a country ranch..." The shrewd teacher must be Erwin's father, the foolish couple must be Allen's father and his ex-wife, and the ranch prostitute must be Historia's birth mother, the pitiful and hateful woman abandoned by her father.

"Thanks to us for eliminating these hidden dangers."
Jer Sanes shouted arrogantly, thinking himself a fearless hero who had followed orders without question and perfectly completed the tasks assigned to him. Little did he know that he had made a mistake: blindly obeying orders.
Neither the teacher who yearned for the truth and found clues to it, nor the couple who longed for the sky, nor the poor woman blinded by love, nor the pitiful Historia who had no choice, could justify their killing and cruelty.
However, they have been brainwashed by the so-called 'honor' and 'mission', believing that they are on the side of absolute justice.
Thinking hard.
Perhaps we are just like that humble, pitiful character in this story.
But don't know it.
After all, people in cages may never know they are prisoners, with their hands bound, ears plugged, and eyes blindfolded.
"It is because of us humans that we have come to this point today, and we deserve the gratitude of all humankind."
Even after being beaten beyond recognition, Jer Sanes continued to shout arrogantly, showing no sign of backing down.
But things won't end there.
Levi has encountered all sorts of cunning people.
Bloody and brutal.
human nature.
ugly.
Squad Leader Hanji was the same.
They are people who have emerged from bloodshed and brutality, and they possess an endurance that is unimaginable to ordinary people. They are incomparable to those who are merely superficially stubborn and brainwashed.
“I have never seen anyone torture people with such a gleeful expression as you do,” Jer Sanes continued to shout.
He may not know.
The Captain Levi before us has vanquished countless Titans, and Squad Leader Hange has conducted countless studies for the survival of humanity. They are both people who sincerely hope from the bottom of their hearts that humanity can survive and live with dignity.
Although they were also deceived.
Commander Erwin Smith of the Survey Corps, that brave and resourceful man, once said something along those lines: "Only those who are kept in the dark and those who know the truth." And they were clearly kept in the dark, while those in control of the monarchy were those who knew the truth.
It was indeed them who concealed the truth.
This man always manages to see through the essence of things at crucial moments.
