0774 Deception, Publicly Revealed [Please Subscribe]
The already turbulent society within the walls will once again be plunged into crisis.
“Yes, even we can’t assess the seriousness of the situation.”
"So, are we going to continue deceiving the people?" Commander Pixis retorted righteously.
"Just like what King Reiss did... keeping ignorant people confined within walls? Then what right do we have to take away King Reiss's crown?"
This is indeed a question worth considering. King Reiss fooled all the people, so he was not qualified to be a true king.
But if those who overthrow his monarchy continue to fool the people, how are they any different from King Reiss?
“Let’s make it public.” A resolute voice rang out; it was Historia.
Although Historia didn't have much power, she was more like a pretty but useless vase.
But deep down, Historia cared more about the undocumented people inside the walls than anyone else.
Historia made these words after careful consideration. She preferred to take the risk after knowing the truth rather than live a peaceful, deceived life in captivity.
"We are simply returning to the people the memories that King Reiss took away a hundred years ago. We are people within the walls who are in the same boat... From now on, we must unite and work together."
……
Soon after, the people of the streets and alleys learned of this astonishing news. All the newspapers published the truth about the giants inside the walls.
The man-eating giants that threaten humanity are actually humans transformed, descendants of Ymir, a race sharing the same ancestor.
The king inside the walls built a wall fifty meters high a hundred years ago and used the power of the Founding Titan to alter the memories of all the people.
This led the public to believe that all humans outside the wall had been extinct.
However, humanity did not perish.
Instead, they called their people, the descendants of Ymir, a race of demons.
In the near future, the enemy will use the pretext of obtaining resources inside the walls to launch an attack on the walls.
This event began with the attack of the Colossus, signaling the start of the Malay Empire's resource-grabbing war.
The reactions of people inside the Great Firewall to such reports varied. Some chose to believe them completely, while others simply laughed them off. Some still oppose the new regime and spread conspiracy theories, and as they predicted, civil affairs are now in great chaos.
The Survey Corps was powerless to change the situation.
Alvin Smith took a sip of his black tea. "The current chaotic situation is unavoidable. We are only responsible for revealing the truth, and we'll leave the judgment of these intelligence reports to the taxpayers..."
Squad Leader Hange continued, picking up where Alvin Smith left off.
"I think this is what makes it better than the previous king..."
“You are our pride,” said a man in his fifties with a full head of white hair, a media professional of this era who decided to report the real truth.
They also knew the terrible price the Survey Corps paid to find out the truth about the Titans.
"As fellow countrymen within the walls, and as taxpayers... we are truly grateful for everything the Survey Corps has done."

Captain Levi, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke.
"Next time, just use intelligence from the Survey Corps to write your report..."
"What will become of us?" The journalist expressed deep concern about the future of the world inside the walls.
"Just as we both hate and fear giants, praying for their extinction from this world, the rest of the world will not see us as human beings... but rather as monsters to be sacrificed. If the result is that hell is reborn on earth, hell will continue until we are extinct..."
All the humans inside the walls witnessed the terror and horror of the giants, especially those whose homes had been taken away.
Giants devour humans almost instinctively.
The humans inside the walls had developed a deep-seated hatred for the giants, but now they were being told that the giants were not enemies, but their fellow human beings.
The giant they hated was themselves... What a devastating blow.
So--
Will the Elodians really be wiped out by a united effort of all humanity?
……
"Hey, heroes of the walls," Hitch greeted them casually as she walked over from a distance.
"You're here!"
"I've come to see you receive your medals," Hitch said with a smile.
Everyone was waiting for an important ceremony: Queen Historia would bestow upon them medals symbolizing honor.
All the soldiers in the legion longed for this honor, especially the medal awarded by Historia, the only queen of the legitimate royal bloodline, which held special significance.
"The Survey Corps was just one step away from falling into the enemy's trap... Although unfortunately he... didn't come back, his performance impressed me greatly. He was a real man, a real soldier... Even when everyone was terrified, that guy was still encouraging his comrades... That guy was a remarkable fellow..."
"know."
Hsieh's smile vanished instantly.
How should we remember someone who died in war, someone who will forever be etched in our hearts?
"It's precisely because I know he's a brave man that he wouldn't listen to my advice..."
"But in the end, I believe he must have had some regrets deep down... Ha... That war was too cruel... No one with any backbone can completely overcome fear..."
Hitch's eyes revealed a shock that evoked sadness, and she turned and fled as if running away.
"Jean Kirschstein said, frowning."
Why would you say something like that?
"But someone has to tell the truth..."
No matter how hot-blooded they were when they joined the Survey Corps, the members of the Survey Corps are actually just ordinary humans, and they cannot completely eliminate their fear of death.
A true hero is not one who is unafraid of death.
Instead, even when they were terrified, they suppressed their fear, fought bravely, and fought valiantly against the enemy.
In that final, very last moment, what were they really thinking deep down? Perhaps they truly regretted it... But if they were given the chance to choose again, it's hard to guarantee they wouldn't make the same choice and embark on this path of no return once more.

“You must tell the truth to the Survey Corps recruits who get anxious in the future… This world is cruel, all wars are cruel… In the moment when death is about to come, they may really regret it… so that cowards like me don’t accidentally sneak in.” A soldier said emotionally, perhaps because he had witnessed the death of his close comrades in this war, which was why he was so stimulated.
"Even if we're just cannon fodder, we still have a choice, right?"
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive, and everyone remained silent.
A voice suddenly rang out.
"The world is cruel... No matter how cruel Commander Erwin tells you, you have to experience it for yourselves... The moment they joined the Survey Corps, they were told all the truth... The choice is always in your hands."
Lin Yan said.
Evan Smith never hid or tried to conceal the truth about the Survey Corps' high mortality rate.
This is also to prevent cowardly soldiers who are unaware of the truth from joining the Survey Corps and then regretting it, especially when death is inevitable.
The soldier fell silent after hearing Lin Yan's words.
He joined the Survey Corps halfway through his career, but his initial ambitions had become blurred. Yet, those vague, lofty aspirations seemed to become clear once again.
Captain Levi walked over to them and said, "It's time."
Inside the spacious, bright, and magnificent building, there are soaring domes and exquisite carved beams and painted rafters.
And there were rows of soldiers with solemn expressions before me.
Those receiving the medal include Alan Yeager and others.
They knelt before Queen Historia, about to receive the most prestigious medal.
Historia was dressed in magnificent queenly attire, and her radiant crown made her dazzling.
This once somewhat weak and kind-hearted girl has transformed into a responsible and dependable true queen.
One transformation was accepting and publicly declaring himself the heir to the throne; the other was deciding to tell the truth to the public.
Each time, I witnessed Historia's growth.
As he received the medal, Alan Yeager was still pondering that question: What exactly was in the basement? Was it hope? Or despair?
The enemy is incredibly powerful.
If nothing changes, that tragedy will repeat itself.
If it could change anything... what did Alan Yeager's life matter? He would give it up anytime.
He lacked the resolve to sacrifice Historia.
Historia had already slowly placed the medal around Alan Yeager's neck.
According to protocol, the recipient of the medal must kiss the back of Her Majesty the Queen's hand.
“I am an Eldian from outside the walls… just like you, I am a child of Ymir… The royal family inside the walls, immediately destroy the Titans attacking the walls… before my wife, my children… before the people inside the walls are utterly destroyed…” In an instant, Eren Yeager saw memories that were not his own, and even saw his father, Grisha Yeager, in these memories.

During the snowy season, the giant hammer of Tester District no longer made the sound of scum giants.
As the snow began to melt, the legion announced that the Titans on Wall Maria had been completely eliminated.
The elevators in Test District are now operational, and road repairs have begun.
The flowers, grasses, and trees sprouted tender buds.
Butterflies fluttered among the grass.
The refugees were also permitted to return to their homelands, a year after the attack on Test District.
Six years after the first attack by the Colossal Titan, the Survey Corps began investigating the walls outside Wall Maria. By this time, Lin Yan had already been missing from this world for a year.
Eren and Mikasa galloped towards their destination.
Together they crossed a desolate desert and saw an endless ocean on the other side of the wall.
This is where countless Eldians were turned into Titans.
The wind blowing from the sea carried a salty, fishy smell on everyone's cheeks.
Another major piece of news is that Irwin Smith heroically sacrificed his life during a mission.
"Look quickly, on the other side of the wall..."
Everyone was playing and frolicking on the beach when Armin's voice was interrupted by Alan Yeager.
"It's the sea..."
Alan Yeager's hair was getting a little long. He quietly looked at Hyde and continued speaking.
"On the other side of the sea... there is freedom... I always believed that. But I was wrong. On the other side of the sea, there are enemies. Everything is just like what my father remembered."
Alan Yeager's eyes were filled with a
sad.
His finger pointed to the other side of the sea.
"If we kill all the enemies on the other side, will we be free?"
This statement is so sad. Eren Yeager has gone from an angry yet energetic young man to a dejected and directionless person.
The killing continues.
The war has not stopped.
Shortly after Eren and his group arrived at the seaside, Marley sent its first reconnaissance fleet to Paradis Island, which was easily defeated by Eren and Armin's two Titans. A group of Marleyan naval soldiers, led by a female soldier named Yelena, suddenly defected. In fact, they were under the command of Zeke Yeager and were liaisons sent to the island by Zeke to carry out his plan to liberate the Eldians.
Yelena and others brought advanced technology from the outside world to Paradis Island.
