Jell Thanes glared angrily at Squad Leader Hange and Captain Levi, shouting, "You're monsters! You're monsters!!"
monster?
Who exactly used cruel torture to kill Father Nick?
Who exactly pulled out all of Father Nick's fingernails? This is a classic case of double standards, and he himself doesn't seem to realize it—it reveals his despicable nature.
“But I’m not afraid at all. I…I…I still have the King…I believe in Antai within this wall, and I believe in the King…I think everything we’ve done is right…” Jere Sanes’ eyes were brimming with tears. He continued, more like a murmur to himself, as if talking to himself, “It’s just…I never expected it to hurt so much…”

Jell Sanes was so arrogant and talked so much nonsense, while Captain Levi and Squad Leader Hange just quietly observed him.
Observation is indeed very important.
During this time, they had been considering how to deal with this cunning yet pathetic man who pretended to be a hero.
"You might as well just torture me to death; this is my life stained with blood."
Jer Sanes’ tone suddenly turned somber.
His momentum completely vanished.
"take a break."
After saying this, Levi turned and left, and Squad Leader Hange followed him without any objection.
Squad Leader Hanji even lowered his voice, sounding somewhat troubled.
"It's really a dilemma; I feel so sorry for this guy."
The prison doors were closed.
Meanwhile, a sound came from the other side.
"Hey, don't push me, it hurts!"
That was Ralf, Jerzanez's companion. He was led away, unaware of what Levi and the others would do to him next. Ralf had been an accomplice during Jerzanez's torture of Father Nick; he had stood outside the door, gun in hand, blocking Hange and Mobrit from entering when they arrived at Nick's murder scene; he looked down on the Survey Corps, and even couldn't help but laugh when Jerzanez mocked Hange.
He was later captured by Hange and Sanes, but was not tortured.
Li held a dagger to his neck and forced him to read out a fake dialogue script written by Hanji, deliberately making Sanes think that he had been betrayed by his companion and thus breaking down his defenses, forcing him to reveal the truth.
At this moment, a great show is about to be performed according to this script.
Actually, this was a baseless scheme to sow discord. The real problem lay with Ralph, whose loyalty to the royal family was not high.
Hange, considering that Ralph might not have as much detailed information as Sanes, conspired with Ralph to set a trap. At the same time, she also tortured Sanes to weaken his will. When Sanes' will was almost gone, Ralph appeared and cooperated with Hange to read the text aloud, breaking down Sanes' psychological defenses in one fell swoop.
Although Sanes was very skilled at interrogation, he did not expect Ralph to betray him so quickly and trick him, so he really thought that Ralph had confessed because he could not withstand the torture.
"You spineless coward, you confessed everything after just one fingernail was pulled out."
Captain Levi deliberately said this as he was dragging Ralf away.
“Sanes’ fingernails have all been ripped off, you two are worlds apart.”
"What's it to me? It's his freedom to say or not."
Ralph read aloud the order that Squad Leader Hange had given him earlier.
“That guy who keeps talking about kings and peace... he's a burden to us. Please just kill him already.”
Sanes heard everything clearly.
His face was filled with shock.
Comrades-in-arms.
They betrayed him so easily, even though he had endured so much suffering without being forced to confess.
"You cannot kill him until you have confirmed that his testimony is consistent with his."
"Captain Levi said."
"I've already confessed honestly, you're all being too cautious."

Sweat beaded on Ralph's face, and in front of him was a piece of paper held up by Squad Leader Hange. He read aloud every word on the paper, following the instructions.
This foolish man has fallen into this simple trap.
"By the way, is there a bed in my cell?"
Jer Thanes heard the entire conversation with his own ears. His shock, anger, disappointment, and despair all came in one breath. In the end, Jer Thanes lay on the chair next to him, almost lifeless.
He never imagined that his unwavering resistance, even to the point of being beaten beyond recognition, would end like this. His comrades had already betrayed him; what was the point of his desperate struggle?
I was so stupid.
That's just how realistic this world is.
What idealism?
What kind of hero?
They are all pathetic, pitiful creatures.
The cell door to Jer Sanes creaked open.
"Alright, Sanes, let's get our spirits up."
Hange, the squad leader, spoke to Jer Sanes with a spirited air, her tone seemingly implying that Jer Sanes and his team's interrogation had been effective.
There's no point in him continuing to resist.
The battle lines collapsed.
"Although I'm reluctant to use violence, I will still try my best to interrogate you relentlessly until you tell me what you know..."
"The Reiss family is the true royal family."
"I said dejectedly."
Soon after, the news reached everyone, shocking everyone, including Historia and Allen, who were still unconscious.
"Is Historia the true heir to the throne?"
"This explains why they were targeted by the First Military Police, why such a minor noble family would attract so much attention, and why Historia's family knew the secret of such an important wall... It turns out they are the real nobles... the royal family..."
"Then, is it highly likely that the person behind this is Rod Reiss...?"
"Squad Leader Hanji said."
Things were more complicated than expected.
The truth was even more shocking than expected.
This is a colossal lie.
So, what exactly is the king inside the city walls now? A puppet? A marionette? Everyone was bewildered and deceived.
What on earth is this?
So many people have been fooled.
It's not just the general public; it also includes the military units that defend the country. The training corps certainly wouldn't know, and it also includes the stationed corps, the survey corps, and even the military police. Who exactly knows the truth? It's currently unknown.
Someone put up a picture of Rod Reis on the wall.
He was a man with round, bell-like eyes, dressed in a gentleman's attire, and the paper was covered with his introduction.
In fact, this man is Historia Reiss's father.
This man was the de facto supreme commander within the city walls, the former king of Paradis Island, who had six children, including Historia, but all of them, except for Historia who was not present, were...

Apart from Historia, all of them were killed by the Titan that Eren's father, Grisha Yeager, transformed into.
He also had a younger brother named Ulireis when he was a child.
After learning about the power of the Titans from his father, he originally intended to inherit it himself and use it to fight against the Titans outside the walls, but later his younger brother, who had the same idea, inherited it.
However, after inheriting the Founding Titan, the younger brother was influenced by his ancestor's vow not to fight, and gradually became depressed and taciturn. In the end, following the ideas of the first King Reiss, he stopped fighting and only wished to create this final paradise for the people inside the walls.
"The key is……"
Squad Leader Hanji hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“We don’t know where Rod Reiss is right now, so we can’t take any action against him. What’s more, Historia and Allen are still unconscious and we don’t know when they will wake up. The dosage of anesthetic they were given was quite high. It seems they plan to move them somewhere before letting them wake up slowly.”
She analyzed it.
The analysis is actually quite reasonable.
In the original storyline, Eren was kidnapped to a cave, where he was almost eaten by Rod Reiss. The key point is that Rod Reiss encouraged Historia to eat Eren, believing that this would return the power of the Titans to the Reiss family.
Everything can end then.
However, Historia was not ultimately swayed by her father, Rod Reiss.
Instead, she chose Allen.
"Will Historia know where Rod Reiss is right now?"
Connie tentatively said.
This guy always speaks on instinct, he never thinks deeply about anything.
Historia never met her father and grew up on a rural ranch. After her mother was purged, she was forced to change her name to Christa Lance and leave for another place.
She joined the 104th Training Corps at the age of 12 and the Survey Corps at the age of 15. Although she is the only Eldian in the world with Eldian royal blood, she has never met Rod Reiss since she was a child, so how could she know anything about him?
The others were once again dejected.
However, a wicked smile appeared on Lin Yan's lips.
He snapped his fingers.
"I have a plan, and that is to turn the tables on them."
"What do you mean?"
"Levi asked."
Lin Yan knew they wouldn't understand, so he explained, "We can have Historia and Allen pretend to be caught by them. After all, they will definitely not let this go, especially your... cough cough... old friend Kenny... you should know him very well, right? That guy is a scoundrel and will definitely come back again."
A mangy dog?
Captain Levi did not refute this.
Although he was raised by someone, he was indeed a person who would not give up until he achieved his goal, and his methods were extremely ruthless.
So, wouldn't pretending that Historia and Allen were captured be like lambs to the slaughter?
Connie was the first to object.
"Wouldn't that put them at risk? I don't think this method will work. Let's try another way, don't you think, Mikasa... Mikasa? Say something..."

"Say something, Mikasa! Are you really not considering Eren and Historia's feelings at all?"
Connie pressed on, his voice urgent.
Mikasa remained silent; this concerned Eren's safety.
Logically speaking, Mikasa should have been the first to object, but the quietest one at this moment was Mikasa Ackerman.
Her brows were furrowed tightly.
"Connie, calm down."
"How can I possibly remain calm? Aren't Eren and Historia your allies? Let's see, aren't you worried? And you... Sasha... Armin... do you want to send Eren and Historia into the lion's den?"
They certainly didn't want Allen and Historia to be implicated.
However, there is currently no more effective way to find out the exact location of Rod Reiss's secret place, so this method is the fastest way to reach him.
