"Once you cross this mountain, you'll see the Hikenxia district."

The person next to him answered while looking at the map.

Everyone was wearing the cloak of the Wings of Freedom as they moved through the night.

Mikasa walked beside Lin Yan, with Eren following behind them.

“Be careful, both of you. Remember that enemies are always around,” the substitute reminded Connie and Sasha.

Suddenly his eyes widened in terror, and at the same time, soldiers shouted loudly.

"There's a giant on the left!"

Under the light, a giant was indeed found leaning against the trunk of a giant tree.

"Before everyone stops."

“To illuminate the surroundings.”

Everyone followed orders strictly, and Squad Leader Hanji made a judgment in an instant.

"It's alright, he's sleeping soundly. It seems this child isn't a new breed that can be active at night."

This is a giant with white hair and an oddly shaped face. He is leaning against a tree and has fallen into a deep sleep.

Even with such bright lights, it couldn't be woken up.

The noise and shouting of these people did not wake him up.

"What a shame."

Squad Leader Hange revealed a crazy and eerie smile; he was probably the only one in the entire Survey Corps who would have such a crazy idea that no one could fathom.

If she could, Squad Leader Hange would probably even have the idea of ​​communicating with the Titans, and she would not hesitate to put it into practice.

"Leave him alone."

All lights were withdrawn and turned off, leaving only the necessary light sources.

The team moved on.

"We didn't realize it until we were so close..."

"Yes, that's right."

“It must be the darkness protecting us,” Squad Leader Hange said. “Because moonlight is sunlight that has been reflected. If our assumption is correct, the new Titans may be moving around by the faint moonlight… Our decision to act on the day of the new moon was the right one.”

"This is indeed just speculation, but I believe it will be confirmed later."

Lin Yan also said.

Although Lin Yan knew most of the information about this world better than anyone else—for example, he knew more about the world inside the walls than Malay, and he knew more about Malay than the people inside the walls—there were still some things he didn't know.

But given his strength, he won't back down because of these things.

For him, there were only unknown territories, not dangerous ones.

Of course, if a horde of Titans were to attack in an instant, he could not guarantee the safety of every member of the Survey Corps.

After all, two hands can't fight off four fists.

Perhaps it was because Lin Yan was present, but it also meant enormous risks and the possibility of being sacrificed or killed at any time.

Moreover, Lin Yan was very clear about one thing: although it was highly unlikely that the giants would gather together on their own to form a group attack.

However, those giants are controlled by humans, and if that person wants to start a large-scale war, then he can do it.

That is—Jieke Yeager.

That man who was somewhat perverted and crazy in his childhood.

I wonder what kind of sparks will fly when this man meets his half-brother, Alan Yeager.

Who lives and who dies, that is the question.

Lin Yan was actually quite interested in the unknown. However, having experienced so much in this world, the life and death situations here seemed far more shocking than those in the era of firearms.

He decided to stay and stand on this side.

Standing beside Mikasa Ackerman...

0738 New Moon, Action [Please Subscribe]

“Our choice of the new moon was the right one… but not staying overnight doesn’t guarantee that the situation won’t happen again.”

The situation at that time refers to the time when Historia and the others spent the night in the ruins of the castle, and were attacked by a group of giants.

However, Lin Yan also knew that the attack was planned by Jik Yeager.

"That child might also be a Moon Giant."

Although Squad Leader Hange can be a bit crazy at times, she can maintain a calm mind in critical moments, and her meticulous analytical skills are among her outstanding abilities.

However, when the topic of experiments came up, Squad Leader Hange once again revealed that eerie, insatiably greedy smile.

He was a complete and utter mad scientist.

My mouth is watering just looking at it.

If it were any other woman, she would be drooling over cakes and desserts, but no one would imagine that a woman could not contain her joy at the thought of a 'giant'.

"I really hope I can catch one someday."

Compared to Squad Leader Hange, who was excited to the point of madness, Allen's hand holding the lamp was trembling uncontrollably.

"Why am I shaking?"

Alan Yeager was also somewhat shocked.

He had always had one goal: to kill all the giants, leaving none alive. He thought that this goal would make him fearless and unstoppable. But why was he trembling with fear at this crucial moment?

That's so embarrassing.

Alan Yeager was both angry and ashamed.

"What? What is it that makes me so scared?" Allen asked himself. What was he afraid of? "Damn it, what if we fail to retake Wall Maria because of your poor condition?"

Allen stole a glance at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan strolled around as if taking a leisurely walk.

Why could Lin Yan be so calm, while he was so terrified? Was he really just too cowardly? Allen didn't want to be a burden to everyone; it was something he would rather die than do... But the more he thought about it, the more nervous he became, and the more severe his trembling hands became.

Lin Yan glanced at Allen slightly to the side.

"Allen."

"Ah... oh..."

Alan Yeager seemed a little distracted, and his voice sounded somewhat different from usual.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. The Wall of Maria is not just your responsibility... Don't forget that you have us as companions. Most importantly... I will definitely not let this plan fail."

Lin Yan smiled faintly.

"Right? Armin?"

Armin nodded firmly. No matter when, where, or what circumstances he was in, he would never abandon Allen or his comrades.

"Alan, my hands have been shaking uncontrollably... I really can't control them anymore... haha..."

Armin said very frankly.

"Eren, do you think Titans are scary? Logically speaking, everyone should be afraid of them. The first time I faced a Titan, I was so scared that I couldn't move... But you pulled me out of the Titan's mouth when I was immobilized..."

Why would you dare to do something like that?

“I remember now, it was when you showed me that book… Before that, I had never even thought about the world outside the walls. Back then, I just spent my days looking at the sky and the clouds, until then… Hearing what you said, seeing your eyes, you had happy dreams, but I had nothing. That’s when I realized… I wasn’t free. I was in a cage in the vast world, and my freedom had been taken away by some inexplicable person. After learning this… I felt I couldn’t go on like this. Although I don’t know why, as long as it was to regain my freedom, I felt full of strength again. Of course, our thoughts were later confirmed, and that was Lin Yan.”

Alan Yeager looked at Lin Yan and said, "You're right, I still have you all by my side... Thank you so much, I'm alright now."

"Let's go see the sea together this time next year," Lin Yan said.

"Okay!"

"We must go together."

"Great."

Smiles appeared on everyone's faces. Even on such a dark and dangerous night, the presence of companions brought warmth despite the cold wind.

At this moment, everyone made a new promise, as if the darkness before them was shimmering with light, and a straight road led to the future.

Suddenly, Mikasa looked at the surrounding environment and said with some doubt.

"I feel like I've been around here before... I remember... I came here to collect firewood..."

Someone shouted loudly.

"We can see the foot of the mountain."

"There are the ruins of a highway over there..." The giant broke through the Wall of Mary, and in such a short time, nature used its power to gradually erase all traces of humanity.

Even the buildings, once inhabited by humans, have become dilapidated and incomplete.

They were almost at their destination, and could even hear the sound of the stream. The main group traveled through the night, and thankfully, the journey was uneventful. Reaching their destination safely was everyone's wish, and they were constantly on edge.

Armin said in a low voice.

"We're finally back."

Although Lin Yan did not grow up here, he did live here for a period of time, especially at the place where Mikasa gathered firewood, which was also where they met.

It's truly something to remember.

Mikasa, Eren... they must have wanted to return to this place countless times, whether in their dreams or when they were awake.

This is my hometown.

Dawn will break soon.

The main force has arrived at its destination.

"Watch out for the giants lurking in the shadows!" Erwin Smith shouted.

Danger lurks all around, and giants could charge out at any moment. Every soldier must remain extremely vigilant to ensure the safety of the entire unit.

"Let's begin the battle."

"All personnel, activate 3D Maneuver Gear."

All the soldiers soared into the sky.

This operation involves blocking two entrances: the inner door and the outer door. Blocking these two doors will allow the Hikensha District to become independent, then eliminate the giants within, and learn of our movements…

The enemy will most likely attack Allen.

After all, they didn't know Lin Yan very well.

However, for safety reasons, everyone had to wear hoods so that Allen and Lin Yan could be hidden inside.

However, Lin Yan will take action on his own at an appropriate time.

"I am the only viable piece in this plan, and I will catch them off guard... Trust me, and I trust you all... Actually, there's only one thing I want to emphasize, and that is... Survive!!"

"it is good."

Amidst Lin Yan's deafening voice.

Everyone shouted in unison.

Aside from Alvin Smith, Lin Yan has undoubtedly become the most influential person.

The number of soldiers participating in each event was approximately one hundred.
