He was weighing the pros and cons.

If this secret were exposed, wouldn't it bring uncontrollable factors to the stability within the walls? But now we see the government completely disregarding the safety of the people, only concerned with its own self-preservation.

The choice then changes.

All of this is the bitter fruit of the foolish and greedy people reaping what they sow.

They brought this upon themselves.

Every period of history follows this pattern: it's either the violence of those in power or their incompetence and greed. Where there is oppression, there is resistance; when people's most basic needs are not met, they will take up arms to fight back.

"If you can save more humans... then sending Erwin to the execution platform is fine, of course we are prepared to have our heads rolled at any time. But you have already given your answer... even if you know nothing about the power and origins of the Titans, you can still save more lives."

Commander Pixis said with righteous indignation.

A single belief always ran through his heart: to protect the people and uphold true justice. Even the authorities could not change his conviction; he was willing to take up the mantle of justice.

These foolish rulers seem to have no idea what their current predicament is like.

"Don't...don't say stupid things."

The ugly man with the middle parting clenched his fists angrily and shouted loudly and rudely.

"Even if you suppress this place, so what? Do you think people without a license will obey you? The people will only submit to their king. The local nobles will not remain silent either."

"It seems you haven't quite grasped the current situation yet?"

Commander Pixis's expression suddenly turned serious, and the change in his expression reflected the changes in his heart.

"What? Do I need to remind you of the current situation?"

These foolish people are still thinking from their own perspective, so selfishly considering the issue, unaware that the current situation is already irreversible for them.

"This is not a threat!!!! It's a coup d'état!!!!"

At this moment, Zarqari's subordinates reported to him, "The suppression of the central military police has been completed!!"

"Um.".

Everything went as planned.

President Zaqari nodded, seemingly unsurprised and quite satisfied with the outcome.

"Sometimes, soldiers will obey their superiors more than their king." This is why many emperors worry about their generals rebelling. Those generals who have worked hard and achieved great feats lead their soldiers in bloody battles, and these bloody soldiers admire the generals who lead them in battle more than the emperors who are high above them.

They were willing to obey the general and were willing to shed their blood for him.

This is a noble sentiment.

The emperor was merely a symbol.

"What's more, he's an imposter king!!" Commander Pixis declared righteously. "We intend to support the real king to ascend the throne."

Meanwhile, the white-haired man impersonating the king remained seated on the throne, completely unaware that a coup had taken place within the magnificent palace.

At this moment, the disgusting man with the middle-part hair seemed to realize the seriousness of the situation.

His eyes widened in terror.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Shouting loudly.

"I never expected you to go this far... Did you really think this kind of fraudulent tactic would work?"

Fraud?

How could someone who uses a fake king to deceive and fool the people utter such shameless words?

Alvin Smith, who had been silent all along, had one eye that was completely swollen, but his aura was in no way inferior to the others. At this moment, he spoke with a sharp gaze.

"If an emergency were to occur, your judgment would truly violate Article 6 of the Charter of Humanity! Furthermore, your support of a fake king in an attempt to seize power is punishable by death!!" Alvin Smith's voice was firm and righteous.

The situation was now completely settled.

The coup went very smoothly.

Just as expected, the coup was successfully completed without shedding a drop of blood.

This is respect for life.

The despicable man with the middle parting angrily turned around and grabbed the imposter Wang by the collar.

"Damn it, get up! You old bastard!"

"What, is dinner ready?"

The imposter Wang looked completely bewildered.

This statement enraged the despicable man with the center-parted hair, who shouted even louder.

"Shut up, you piece of shit!"

The soldiers held a gun to his body and escorted him away. Someone unlocked Alvin Smith's handcuffs; his wrists were already bruised.

During this time, Neil Decker remained silent; he was genuinely shocked. However, Neil Decker did make a choice; ultimately, he stood on the side of fate rather than mechanically obeying orders from above and becoming a puppet of power.

0690 Did you win? [Please subscribe]

"Did you win, Alvin?"

Neil Decker was still on edge, perhaps because he couldn't believe things were over. He asked anxiously, wanting a definite answer from Alvin Smith.

This is a big deal for everyone in the world.

Especially everyone present.

However, this coup did not happen overnight; everything has its true origins. Both Alvin Smith and Commander Pixis made their decisions after careful consideration.

Everything is done so that I won't have any regrets.

We must not allow the honor of soldiers to be tarnished.

"Ah."

"Are you not happy?"

The coup ended smoothly and successfully.

This is a big deal.

Niall Decker probably asked the question because he didn't see any joy on Alvin Smith's face. In fact, Alvin Smith is a very thoughtful and far-sighted person; he had already considered all sorts of possible scenarios.

Compared to the joy, the hidden dangers worried him more.

“Nair…humanity is forced to embark on an even more arduous path.”

First, when the people learn the truth, there's no guarantee that a popular uprising won't occur, plunging the area within the walls into complete chaos. Second, the walls and the Titans hold many secrets. If these secrets are gradually revealed, the stable and peaceful life within the walls will be shattered, and they will have to face an even more powerful enemy.

war.

The war between inside and outside the walls.

A war between humans may not be far off.

At the touch of a hair.

While the accidental breach of the city wall by giants was terrifying, the real catastrophe was the war between humans.

Shortly after the legion prevented the suppression of the capital's administrative district, President Zakri publicly announced the truth on the execution platform originally prepared for Irwin. Irwin's decisive action led to the complete collapse of the current system.

Before Irwin Smith got into the carriage, he looked at Nail Decker not far away.

He is being interviewed by the media.

"As President Zakri just said, our goal is not to use the army to rule, but to support a true king to replace Fritz and take on the responsibility of guiding the people."

What royal bloodline?

What bloodline?

Perhaps it was only people of that era who were so ignorantly obedient, believing that bloodline was the most important thing, and that even an incompetent and immoral person was the rightful heir as long as they had the bloodline. This was mostly controlled by their servile nature and was also the result of brainwashing by the ruling party.

The true ruler.

They should have the people's well-being at heart.

Rather than a lofty, unapproachable power.

The reporter, looking troubled, asked, "I know that, but can the public really accept a new king so easily?"

"In fact, this matter has already caused unease among many people."

"What should we do if this causes social unrest?"

"Please let us know as soon as you get accurate information."

0691 Right to Know [Please Subscribe]

"Whom should we believe?"

"Yes, we have the right to know."

Journalists and media outlets have the responsibility and obligation to disseminate genuine and truthful information and positive energy to the public; they must know the real inside story before they can report.

Nair Decker also earnestly answered their questions, hoping they could spread the truth for social stability.

Instead of misleading the public.

Irwin Smith glanced at it and left. He still trusted his old comrade-in-arms. As the commander of the military police, Neil Decker would definitely handle this matter well.

If used properly, media can also play a very positive role in stabilizing the situation.

The horse-drawn carriage sped along the road.

Seated inside the carport were Alvin Smith and the cunning President Zakri, who sat with his arms crossed.

"If we're thinking about humanity, then everything should still be entrusted to the Royal Government. Just like Commander Pixis said, it's only because of today that humanity has a way to survive the Titan attacks. Even if they leave half of us to die, it's still better than humanity going extinct. Whether it's Eren, Lin Yan, or... me, we should all hand it over, shouldn't we? Abandoning the lives of our comrades, abandoning our own lives and responsibilities... entrusting everything to the Royal Government. If it's more important than personal honor..."

Alvin Smith lowered his head slightly and said with some frustration.

These words must have been brewing in his mind for a long time, so why did he reveal them so completely without reservation?

President Zakri glanced sideways at Alvin Smith, who was sitting next to him, and said.

"Your mission remains as arduous as ever. I think death would be a true release for you. But why don't you do it..."

"that is because……"

"Would you like to hear my reasons?"

President Zakri suddenly interrupted Irwin Smith, his expression very serious and solemn.

But then the conversation took a turn.

President Zakri's expression changed completely.

He stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disdain and anger, and his voice changed from calm to agitated as he spoke.

"Because I've been dissatisfied with them for a long time!!! They're so infuriating, those self-righteous and arrogant guys. No, I'd say I like them! Looking back, I've been looking forward to this day."

President Zakri's sudden change in expression.

And this somewhat absurd reason surprised Alvin Smith.

Then President Zakri calmed down, smiled, and stroked his beard as he spoke.

"In other words, even if you don't make a move... I intend to teach those despicable bastards a lesson before I die. This coup is sometimes good and sometimes bad for humanity, I don't care. Hahahaha... I'm such a villain."

President Zakri can be quite enigmatic at times.

It's unclear what kind of conspiracy this cunning old fox is hiding behind this coup.

He was not like Commander Pixis, who, although also enigmatic, had a very clear stance.
