"But our only advantage is to win quickly."

"Irwin Smith said."

"Don't you find this place strange? It's impossible for the enemy not to be around; we've confirmed that with the campfire and the teacups. So the enemy must be lying in ambush. Then why aren't they attacking?"

"why?"

"why?"

"why?"

……

Everyone asked in unison, genuinely curious as to why.

At this critical moment, Lin Yan didn't want to keep them in suspense. He continued, "That is the enemy's plan. They want you to block the outer wall and the inner door. Once both of these are blocked, it means... this trap will be completely formed."

Lin Yan's analysis is the most accurate.

This was also part of Zeke Jaeger's plan. He had Reiner Brown and Berthold Hoover lie in ambush inside the walls, observing the situation, and then launch a surprise attack. This would catch Alvin Smith off guard and completely disrupt their rhythm of combat.

Finally, with the combined efforts of Reiner Brown, Bertholdt Hoover, and Zeke Yeager, the Survey Corps can be wiped out.

Once the Survey Corps is lost, the walled area loses its greatest defensive strength.

Especially after losing top-tier forces like Erwin Smith and Levi, the Survey Corps has found it difficult to achieve anything significant.

This was a major event for the Malay Empire.

The man next to Alvin Smith suddenly spoke up.

"We can get through the wall..."

He was actually trying to say that they could avoid the giants by using the walls, but he didn't consider that their enemies were ordinary Pure Titans.

"Don't forget that the enemy... was once a member of the Survey Corps. Do you really think you're safe on the walls? That kind of thinking is very dangerous..."

Lin Yan countered with a question.

The man was speechless.

"And I also have some important information to share. When I went to the castle ruins to rescue Historia and the others, I actually saw that giant... the monkey you mentioned... let's call him the Beast Giant for now. I suspect that the Beast Giant is operating from outside the circle, meaning he is at a certain distance from us, and his weapon is probably his strength."

"What does it mean?"

"What I mean is... if the Beast Titan has incredible arm strength, wrist strength, and grip strength... then for him to kill these Survey Corps members and destroy this area, all he needs to do is throw a few 'small stones' at us, and there will be a deluge of gravel..."

"How did you know?"

Irwin Smith's conditioned reflex question.

"Ok?"

Lin Yan made a monotonous sound.

He didn't say, "Are you questioning me?" But when Alvin Smith looked directly into Lin Yan's deep eyes, he was still deeply shaken to the core. What a powerful and intimidating presence that was, something he had never experienced before.

This is the demeanor of a great general.

"Then what should we do..."

"Armin is in charge of searching for Reiner and Bertholdt. Commander Erwin, Captain Levi, and I will go meet that black-haired gorilla."

"Wasn't it said to be a monkey?"

The man next to Alvin asked again.

Lin Yan glanced at him.

"action."

"Armin, you've repeatedly used your intellect to analyze crucial intelligence. Following Lin Yan's plan, we now need your intellect as well. Dispatch the necessary number of soldiers to investigate whether there are any enemy lurking within the inner gate. Next, you will operate under Armin's command, conducting a search of this area… His orders are my orders."

As Armin faced the solemn-faced soldiers, he suddenly felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders, and his gaze shifted from wavering to unwavering determination.

As a soldier in the Survey Corps, he must shoulder this heavy responsibility and honor.

"As ordered."

"We have thoroughly investigated the Great Wall."

"Give the order."

"Please split into two groups, one inside and one outside the area, and investigate the buildings near the inner gate. If you find anything, notify everyone using this." Armin quickly adjusted his mindset. At this moment, he had to remain calm and composed and not lose his composure.

This is a major taboo.

"As ordered."

The soldiers set off one by one.

“Then, notify him to cease operations,” Lin Yan said to Alvin Smith. Although he still had some doubts, he followed Lin Yan’s advice.

The one who didn't understand this the most was Alan Yeager, who was panting heavily and looked unwilling.

"What? Cease operations? Why should we stop? We were so close to succeeding."

"Allen, don't act rashly."

"That's right, maybe that's Lin Yan's judgment."

"Commander Erwin wouldn't act recklessly."

"We must trust our companions."

Alan Yeager gritted his teeth, his face contorted with rage.

He was so hot-blooded that he didn't care about the consequences and charged forward like a wild horse.

Luckily, Allen was caught in a hug.

"Allen, if you die, all our efforts will be in vain."

"Allen."

"Don't be impulsive."

After being persuaded by others, Alan Yeager finally calmed down a bit. By this time, the search had been going on for some time, but they didn't seem to have made any important discoveries yet.

At this moment, Armin was actually under the most pressure.

His mind was constantly thinking, like a rapidly spinning wheel.

"What should we do? It seems Allen has stopped... If this drags on, it will be very disadvantageous for us... But at this moment, I just can't figure out where they are... Wait, I must calm down, I must calm down." Armin kept reminding himself that the more impulsive he was, the more likely he was to make a bad decision. Only a calm mind could make the best judgment.

"Why is it that even though we've already blocked the outer walls, the enemy still hasn't made a move? The enemy always appears before us in unbelievable ways... just like back then, and then suddenly disappearing... the Colossal Titan... We're always at a disadvantage. It's because we never know enough about the Titans..."

Armin suddenly recalled the wall where the Titan had appeared. A Titan's face had emerged from the crumbling wall. Perhaps this was the key to finding Bertholdt and Reiner.

With this in mind, Armin sent out a signal.

All the soldiers who participated in the search gathered around him.

"did you find it?"

"Where is the enemy?"

Armin's voice was very firm, "We haven't found it yet. Everyone, please investigate the walls together. I'm counting on you all."

“Didn’t we say the wall had already been investigated?” a very cute-looking woman retorted loudly.

“There’s nowhere left to hide behind the walls,” another male soldier retorted.

They were very thorough and meticulous when searching the walls, leaving no corner unchecked.

After all, this is a crucial key to this battle.

“It’s inside the wall… in the middle of the wall… inside…” Armin repeatedly emphasized, “There must be a space somewhere in the wall where people can hide for a long time.”

"What evidence do you have for this claim?" someone questioned.

"It's just my gut feeling." Armin didn't have any concrete evidence either. The video was asking him to provide evidence, which was unreasonable. Humans know less than one percent about Titans, so how could they provide effective evidence?

"Do you even know what time it is now?" With Commander Irwin Smith at his disposal, young Armin didn't seem to be able to completely convince these soldiers.

"When do we have time to rely on intuition?"

“But incredibly, they keep pushing us to the brink of defeat… If we still use our old common sense to judge the situation, we absolutely cannot defeat the enemy.” Armin said with a serious expression, “This is an order. Commander Elwin also said that my order is his order. Are you going to disobey orders?!”

Every member of the Survey Corps knows that obeying orders is a soldier's duty, and they are all self-disciplined soldiers. Although Armin certainly doesn't have much experience leading them, they still follow the orders of their superiors.

Especially Erwin Smith, the commander of the Survey Corps whom they trusted and admired.

"We came here for victory, don't forget our duty." Armin's voice was deafening, as if in that instant, the timid and cowardly little boy had undergone a complete transformation.

He has become a force for the new generation.

"Are you prepared to donate your hearts to humanity?"

"To give your heart to humanity!"

All the soldiers gave a standard salute.

This is the proudest moment.

At this moment, their standard movements represent their awareness of defending human freedom and dignity with their lives.

The moment they chose to join the Survey Corps, they made up their minds that they would never regret it in this lifetime.

"Divide into two groups again and begin investigating the wall surface...Start with the area above the door and carefully investigate, making sure to find the opening that can hold a person."

Armin had already adopted an imposing manner.

He waved his hand and said.

"clear."

The soldiers' answers were unanimous.

They spread out to conduct a thorough search.

It extends from above the door all the way to the surrounding area.

By striking the wall from top to bottom with a sharp blade, the echoes from a solid wall and a hollow wall are different, thus determining the enemy's hiding place.

However, Armin was ultimately a newcomer with no combat experience, and he also had a weakness when giving orders.

As a result, a vibrant life was lost.

However, even if we take a step back and assume the worst, there's no such thing as not sacrificing oneself on the battlefield.

Allen looked at the soldier who was constantly banging on the wall in the distance with some confusion and asked.

“What on earth are they doing?”

"If we keep waiting like this, it won't be considered a surprise attack."

"Delaying this won't do us any good, so why should we do it?"

"Did they come up with something... Lin Yan or Armin? I think I saw Commander Elwin and Lin Yan moving towards the outer wall... Could it be because they have a new plan?"

"Alan Yeager said to himself."

After so much training and growth, Alan Yeager, the boy who used to be impulsive and recklessly charged forward, seems to have learned to think things through with a calm mind.

Mikasa glanced into the distance, feeling more puzzled than worried.

He somewhat agreed with Alan Yeager's reasoning, but also believed that the person's assessment of his abilities must be correct.

Now is not the time for curiosity to prevail, but rather to fully cooperate with their actions.
