Anything that does not uphold the people is wrong.

"But...you're actually a villain too, aren't you?"

President Kerry finally calmed down, crossed his arms, and muttered to himself, while Alvin Smith simply listened quietly.

"You don't actually want to die. You and I both prioritize your own life over the fate of humanity."

"I seem to have been too proud and complacent."

Alvin Smith, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

"What are your reasons?"

After a string of complaints, President Zachary looked at Irwin Smith and asked. He seemed somewhat interested in Irwin Smith as well; to him, the commander of the Survey Corps was actually an interesting person.

"Now it's your turn to answer."

"I...have a dream..."

Irwin Smith has kept these secrets hidden for a long time; they are an absolute secret world within his heart, which he has never easily revealed to others. Is he now ready to confide in someone?

"It's a dream I've had since childhood..."

In the end, Irwin Smith still didn't reveal the secret. When would his dream finally come true? In fact, President Kerry made a mistake in one sentence: compared to the fate of humanity, they were people who were more anxious about their own lives.

Perhaps in the beginning, Irwin Smith did indeed want to use this position to realize his own dreams.

But later, he stayed in that position for a long time.

And so he truly became a regimental commander.

A person who gave his heart for humanity.

After Rod Reiss transformed into a Colossal Titan, he led the new government and the United Armed Forces in the fight against him, and eventually defeated Rod.

She later honored Historia Reiss, a descendant of the Fritz royal family, as her queen. She argued with Levi, insisting on leading the Survey Corps in the battle to reclaim Wall Maria. In a flashback, she returned to her childhood and met her father. Her other motives for insisting on participating in the campaign are currently unknown.

He confessed his dreams and selfish motives to Levi, and smiled with relief after Levi made the choice to "give up your dreams and die".

He then led the new recruits in a suicidal charge against the Beast Titan, creating an opportunity for Levi to kill it. During the charge, he was struck in the abdomen by a rock thrown by the Beast Titan and fell to the ground.

This was Irwin Smith's fate.

Perhaps he had already made his decision in his heart, and that was his belief.

at the same time.

Lin Yan, Levi, and the others also took action; they were determined to stop the madman's actions and save Eren and Historia.

Captain Levi crossed his arms and looked into the distance.

Squad Leader Hanji asked with a serious expression.

"Lin Yan, are you really sure we're in Lord Reis's territory? The matter of Allen and Historia can't be delayed any longer."

"Ah."

Lin Yan nodded nonchalantly.

"There's a secret underground cave in that old guy's territory, and he plans to eat that Allen guy there."

"Do we really have enough time? If it's too late, we will lose Eren forever..." Squad Leader Hange's words came to an abrupt halt. For them, Eren's abilities were important, but the existence of Eren Jaeger was equally important.

He was a companion.

They are the people they want to protect.

"Lord Reiss is Historia's biological father. He was the de facto supreme commander within the walls, the former king of Paradis Island, and had six children, including Historia. However, except for Historia, who was not present, all of them were killed by the Titan that Eren's father, Grisha Yeager, transformed into. He also had a younger brother, Uri Reiss, who, after learning about the power of the Titans from his father, originally intended to inherit it himself and use it to fight against the Titans outside the walls. Later, his younger brother, who shared the same idea, inherited the power, but after inheriting the power, he was influenced by the thoughts of the first King Reiss and changed his mind..." Lin Yan paused, realizing he had revealed too much information, and continued, "In short, this old man, Lord Reiss, planned for Historia to eat Eren to obtain the power of the Titans."

Everyone was stunned.

It's like a fantasy story.

In particular, Han Ji's eyes lit up instantly, and he knew that Lin Yan was definitely not a simple person.

Now is not the best time to question Lin Yan about why he knows so much.

If it were Connie, he would have blurted it out.

After all, this guy's passion exceeded his intelligence; in other words, he was a person who acted on instinct.

Mikasa remained silent.

Armin, who was driving the carriage, secretly glanced at Lin Yan. He was one of the people who paid the most attention to Lin Yan. Besides him, Squad Leader Hange and Captain Levi were also there.

Captain Levi's eyes sharpened.

Lin Yan is indeed not as simple as he appears on the surface. He is not just a war god; his background also hides a huge secret.

But we can't expose it at this time.

So he asked.

"Then why doesn't Rod Reis eat Allen himself?"

"That's a good question."

Lin Yan snapped his fingers.

"The reason why that old guy Rod Reiss has always refused to inherit the power of the Titans is that he is afraid that he will also be changed by the original King Reiss's ideology, and he wants to find a family member who can resist the original King Reiss's ideology and not be affected by it."

He snorted coldly.

"It's no wonder that a man who abandons his wife and children would do such a despicable thing. This is the man who gave Historia such a tragic childhood. And now he still wants to use Historia to achieve his own goals. It's truly hateful."

"Therefore, we must rescue Historia."

"This is for sure."

"We must defeat this guy."

……

In this perilous situation, everyone was highly motivated, while Lin Yan, looking at Captain Levi's profile in the distance, felt a sense of surprise. Perhaps this genius's past as a delinquent had already recognized his extraordinary nature.

Episode 0694: The Fear of Giant Domination [Please Subscribe]

"Since everyone is determined to rescue Allen and Historia, I'll tell you about the underground caves in Lord Reiss's territory..."

How do you know about such an underground space?

"It's actually quite easy to deduce. I once received an investigation report from Elwin about Lord Reiss's territory. An attack had occurred in his territory five years ago..."

"five years ago……"

Five years ago was a memorable time for everyone. The Colossal Titan destroyed the walls, and the Armored Titan caused widespread destruction. That event also left the deepest psychological scars on them.

At that time——

Humanity once again felt the fear of being dominated by giants.

"That's right, it was the day the Wall of Maria was breached... To put it simply, Rod Reiss, as a lord, actually had a good reputation, and as I mentioned before, he had five children, besides Historia, and his eldest daughter, Frida, was straightforward and the people of the territory loved and respected this straightforward girl very much... But five years ago, a tragedy occurred... It is said that thieves attacked the village and burned down the village's only chapel... It is said that the Reiss family was praying in the church that night... Except for Rod Reiss, everyone else died. Of course, the truth of this tragedy is what I said before, the person who killed them was none other than Alan Jaeger's father..."

Lin Yan glanced at Mikasa.

He said it calmly.

"That's right, it's that kind-looking doctor who was loved by everyone around him. He also possesses the power of a giant, and his background is shrouded in mystery."

"Is this Rod Reiss's reason for approaching Historia?"

Armin asked.

“That’s right, Historia has become the sole heir of the bloodline, so she is the only hope for that old man Rod Reis.”

Lin Yan gritted his teeth as he spoke.

What did such a kind and beautiful girl do wrong to be abandoned and exploited by her father, while her mother also harbors deep resentment towards her?

She was simply born into the wrong family.

"The key point is that Rod Reis rebuilt the church. What energy would a man who lost his family overnight have to build a new church? I suspect there is a secret space beneath the church."

Lin Yan speculated.

This is already a fait accompli.

But for others, this is a secret.

A huge secret.

"So, are Allen and Historia in the basement of that church now?" Armin asked, sounding somewhat anxious.

"Yes."

Lin Yan nodded.

“However, we should be careful…” He looked at Captain Levi, “your… old acquaintance… doesn’t seem likely to let this go either; he’s one of Rod Reiss’s men.”

"I'll take care of it."

Levi said.

"Let me explain the assignments. You will follow me to restrain Kenny's actions, while you will follow Lin Yan..."

The underground space of the church.

A massive crystal covered the entire space, which must have been formed by the hardened material of the Titans. On a suspended cliff, in a place that looked like an execution platform, Eren Yeager's mouth was gagged, and his arms and legs were also restrained.

Alan Yeager struggled a few times after waking up, but to no avail.

"Allen, you're awake?"

Allen saw Historia dressed in pure white, and there was a hint of tension or unease in her eyes. After all, this was a deception orchestrated by Historia, Allen, and herself, and she feared that her father, Rod Reis, would expose it.

The body was trembling slightly.

"Just bear with it a little longer, it'll be alright."

Actually, Historia was very nervous.

She desperately hoped Lin Yan and Levi would arrive quickly to rescue them, yet she also worried that if something went wrong, Eren might really die. After all, his father was a man who could abandon his wife and children, a man capable of any heinous act.

“Alan, listen to me, my father was a fellow survivor of this city from the very beginning,” Historia said.

At the same time, she made a subtle gesture toward Allen.

Her father, Rod Reis, was secretly watching Historia. If she didn't do as he instructed, he would immediately take action against Eren Yeager. Historia had to make sure that Rod Reis's emotions were calmed before Lin Yan and Levi arrived.

Don't upset him.

Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, none of these things were planned in advance, so Historia did not know that Allen could understand her meaning.

We all misunderstood him.

what?

Allen thought he had misheard.

Why would Historia think that way? Was she manipulated by Rod Reiss's words? Had Historia betrayed them? All these thoughts flashed through Allen's mind, and it wasn't entirely his fault. After all, Allen and Historia were too far apart; if it were a subtle movement, she might not be able to see it clearly.

“They did get in the way of the Survey Corps, and they killed Father Nick… but Father had no choice… for the sake of humanity… he had to do it…”

Historia continued speaking.

Alan, however, failed to grasp Historia's predicament. He continued to struggle, but the chains were too strong.

There's simply no way to solve it.

His mouth was also sealed shut.

I can't hurt myself, not even by biting my tongue.

After all, Rod Reiss knew the Titans very well and would never give Eren any chance to transform into one.

At this moment, Rod Reiss, who was in the corner, stepped forward. His voice was very calm, and there was no indication that he was brewing a huge conspiracy.
