No.

To be precise, it concerns the survival of the people inside the walls.

"So many enemies and comrades died... We took so many detours and ended up in such a mess... We still stumbled and fell to get here... Getting to this point is the result of everyone's efforts... even at the cost of their lives."

Lin Yan patted Allen on the shoulder.

Allen's eyes were slightly lowered.

Wall Maria has always been a source of anxiety for Alan, and it was there that Uncle Hennessy died for them.

That drunken old man, whom Allen had always disliked, suddenly displayed such courage and boldness at the crucial moment.

He kept swearing.

We must drive out every single giant.

Recapture of Wall Maria would be a major step forward in human history, a watershed moment in the battle between humans and giants.

In fact.

The truth is even more cruel.

This is not a battle between humans and giants, but a battle of greed and plunder.

“If we can reclaim Wall Maria, then we can go to the basement under my house…” Allen suddenly remembered the memories he saw after Historia and Rod Reis touched him. He still didn’t understand why his father did those things.

Was the father truly a sinner?

Lin Yan patted Allen on the shoulder.

"Let's get out of here quickly, there seems to be a hole leading to the ground over there..."

Soon after, they joined the others.

Armin almost burst into tears.

The eyes of the others were also filled with tears.

"Allen."

Armin reached out and pulled Allen out of the hole.

They watched from afar at the shocking and horrifying scene: Rod Reis, transformed into a giant, crawled forward, leaving nothing but barren land in his wake. The entire underground space had completely collapsed, revealing hardened walls and stone pillars that gleamed with light.

The temperature of Rod Reiss's body was extremely high, and the trees in the places he passed by were instantly burned to ashes.

The advance party dispatched by Irwin Smith has arrived nearby.

He was nearly burned by the scorching air.

"No, we can't get close. The temperature is too high and we'll be burned to death."

The intense heat was so intense that it was almost impossible to breathe.

Irwin Smith arrived shortly after.

"Commander, we have no way to stop this guy. He's like an aberrant species, completely ignoring us."

Someone reported this to Irwin Smith.

"Forget it, let's stay away."

Irwin Smith judged that there was no effective way to stop them at the moment, and under these circumstances, the soldiers should not be allowed to approach rashly. Although they had the duties of soldiers, they should not be allowed to rashly throw their lives away.

"As long as we can correctly calculate the direction the giant is moving, that's enough."

"Commander Erwin, the Levi Squad... seems to have successfully rescued Eren and Historia..." Erwin Smith breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this news and quickly rejoined them.

"Is everyone okay?"

He immediately inquired about their situation.

"Only Hange is injured."

Squad Leader Hange lay in the carriage. Her injuries were not fatal; otherwise, the Survey Corps would have lost another admiral.

Lin Yan simply observed the enormous creature from the side.

He seemed quite interested.

Captain Levi said to Erwin Smith.

"There are many things to report... First of all..."

"That giant is..."

Erwin Smith's biggest worry was the unstoppable giant; that was the most pressing crisis at hand.

"Rhodes Reiss".

Levi said.

Lin Yan, who had been silent for a long time, interrupted Levi and Erwin Smith's conversation and said seriously.

"That old guy's direction should be... the Orbudo district."

"That's my judgment too."

"The most effective way to deal with Titans right now is the 3D Maneuver Gear, but this old guy's Titan body temperature is just too high, probably even higher than the Colossal Titan's, so the 3D Maneuver Gear is completely ineffective."

Lin Yan looked at Alvin.

"What can you do?"

"Or we could wait until he gets close enough and then fire the cannon."

"Shelling?"

Lin Yan knew clearly that they had indeed won in the end, but it was a narrow victory. In the final critical moment, Eren transformed into a Titan and stuffed a gunpowder barrel into the mouth of Rod Reiss's Titan, blowing his head off. Historia then dealt with the Titan, and the Queen descended from the sky to save the people amidst the attention of the crowd.

As expected, Historia completed her transformation and became Queen.

Lin Yan looked at Historia and smiled.

"Alan, tell us about your experience."

Lin Yan took the initiative to suggest it, and Eren Yeager and everyone else followed the movement of Rod Reiss the Titan, listening to Eren's story as they went.

Historia also gave a special explanation during the event.

"Actually, the thing is like this..."

The injured squad leader Hange listened attentively and finally concluded, "In other words, the power of the Titan within Eren, whom Lord Reiss calls the Founding Titan, cannot be fully unleashed without the bloodline of the Reiss family. However, even if the members of the Reiss family obtain the power of the Founding Titan, they will still be controlled by the mind of the First King, and humanity cannot be truly saved... This is really interesting."

As expected of the eccentric squad leader Hange.

To be able to say something like that at a time like this.

From the very beginning of the Survey Corps' formation, they wanted to know the secrets about the Titans, and now they are getting closer and closer to the truth.

Squad Leader Hanji looked at the dark night sky.

"The first king said this is true peace? His ideas are really interesting..."

While listening to Squad Leader Hange's speculation, Allen remained silent until now, when he finally spoke with a gloomy expression.

"In other words, we still have a choice. If we let that Titan eat me, Lord Reis can turn back into a human, and there's even a possibility that he can turn back into the complete Founding Titan."

"How can that be possible?"

Mikasa was the first to refute this.

“It seems so. We can capture Lord Reiss, who has turned back into a human.” Lin Yan’s voice sounded rather frivolous, and he even gave a faint smile. “Then we’ll find a way to break him from the First King’s brainwashing. Only by doing this can humanity find the path to liberation. Allen, you said you were prepared, right? To truly sacrifice your heart for humanity.”

"I've made up my mind, as long as it's for..."

Alan Yeager felt obligated to do so.

But Lin Yan interrupted him.

"However, I don't think so... We have other options. Turning Lord Reiss back into a human is possible, but we can't be 100% sure we can break the First King's control over him. Secondly, there are too many unknowns about the Founding Titan, making it difficult to control. Ultimately, all of this is just hypothetical. What if Lord Reiss eats Eren but things don't go as we expect? Wouldn't that be a double loss..."

"Yes."

Historia nodded seriously.

Everyone was quite surprised.

After all, Historia was Rod Reis's biological daughter. Although this man was completely unfit as a father, the blood ties between them were an undeniable fact. If things hadn't gotten out of control, Historia would never have wanted her father to die like this.

"And this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Historia is right."

None of them expected Historia to have such an awareness.

Such a drastic act of sacrificing one's own family is not something everyone can do; it requires a profound and unwavering resolve. Especially since Historia would personally kill her father, this would become a deep scar on her heart.

“That’s right, Eren. Your father did those things to liberate all of humanity from the First King. You have to believe him. He took the Titan power from his sister and killed all the Reiss children, not for his own selfish desires.”

Historia continued speaking.

Her awareness has exceeded everyone's expectations.

I never imagined that the timid girl I once knew would become so brave, so courageous in facing this cruel world.

"Your father simply had no other choice."

In Eren Yeager's reclaimed memories, there was a passage from his father's words: "[To save Mikasa and Armin, and everyone else... you must control this power...]". Eren clutched his head as he recalled these words.

"Father."

“That’s right, Dr. Jaeger couldn’t have done that without careful consideration; it must be like that.”

"Even without the Ries bloodline, there must be a way to save humanity, right, Lin Yan?"

Mikasa looked at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan nodded.

He wasn't omniscient about this world either. After all, when he arrived in this world, the war between the world inside the walls and Malaya hadn't broken out yet, and he vaguely felt that Alan Yeager might not live to see that truly peaceful world.

However, we cannot hold onto tragic thoughts now.

A gentle smile curved his lips as he gazed at Mikasa. "We can definitely save humanity. But is it really possible? Historia, after all, Rod Reiss… that man is your own father, by blood. Are you truly certain? That kind of warning is impossible to detect, meaning we have no choice but to kill him. If you haven't made up your mind yet…"

Historia shook her head.

This kind-hearted girl, like an angel, had such gentle eyes that they sparkled with tenderness.

"To be honest, I wavered because of my father's words, and even forgot our plan. I really wanted to kill you. But now I've come to my senses. I know my choice, and I know what I have to do..."

Historia looked into the distance.

This is the right choice for humanity.

The same applies to him.

She wanted to save her father; death was his final destination.

This tragic fate should come to an end.

Historia silently said in her heart, "Goodbye, Father." The memory of her father's embrace came to mind; it was the only time her father ever hugged her.

This is the last time.

At this moment, Lin Yan said to Levi, "I have a plan. I will be the one to carry it out. You will all follow my instructions from the outside."

He looked at Historia with great seriousness.

"Also, Historia, I need your cooperation."

"you sure?"

"Historia?"
