Subjugation

"Commander Gruo… What… What the fuck is this?!"

The fat man's soldiers who were around him were petrified due to the violent scene, with some even soiling their gear.

Seeing their comrades' lives be extinguished so easily terrorized their very core. 

The leader broke the gaze between him and the titan before looking at them, enraged.

"Don't back away now, or you'll simply die while running away like cowards! MAN UP YOU FUCKERS OR I'LL BE THE ONE KILLING YOU LATER"

When they heard his chilling voice, some came back to themselves, as their commander was someone they truly couldn't offend.

Still, facing an unknown entity that had easily handled five of them was heavily weighing on their minds. After all, they were serving Albanel out of necessity, not duty. Putting their lives on the line was something they hadn't done in a very long time.
