(3rd Person POV)

"...not again, why can't 'those' damned leave us alone?"

"It's obvious they're looking for something... and probably until they get it, then they won't give up."

"But what do they want?"

"I don't know, and they probably won't tell us even if we ask… it must be something important"

The fact that the titans had attacked again had spread rapidly and in a few minutes, the people in charge of directing the humans in this place were gathered to discuss it.

But unlike the chaos that was spreading in various places, at most, some of these people only frowned very slightly. It almost seemed as if they were only seeing that they attack elsewhere... and not their own homes.

Or as if this didn't affect them in the least... which perhaps was the truth. After all, the most affected by all this would surely be the people they governed.

Furthermore, they undoubtedly knew much more than the other people within these walls understood… and the secrets they shared, surely it was something that could change things within the city.

"Well… so far they haven't broken through the second wall. The damage isn't that great… losing a small citadel doesn't change our current situation much."

"The problem is whether they will stop after this..."

"For now, we should start thinking about what to do after losing that little citadel... there's bound to be some trouble again."

"Yes… also, we will have to appease the citizens again. Losing more territory can raise a lot of complaints."

"It does not matter... in the worst case, we will only have to change to another puppet to manage while the old one takes all the resentment and dissatisfaction of the people"

"…that plan works for me"

"For me too"

If other people were watching what was happening in this room, their jaws would surely drop... in these people, not even the slightest idea of fighting the titans could be seen... they just seemed to have given up before even trying to fight.

Although… the truth is that perhaps many would agree with them. Ever since the Titans had appeared, not once had anyone heard of them winning a battle against them... the only thing keeping them safe until now were those walls. They had survived not by fighting, but by staying away from them.

So the idea of fighting titans was only in the minds of very few minds currently…and sadly, not many would follow those people. Instead, they would only see them as crazy or suicidal.

"Sir… something happened!"

"What is it, why so much scandal? If some fear riots have started, then let the Military police take care of that. For now, we have to do what we can to minimize the damage."

"T-This…"

While these people were discussing what to do next, one of their subordinates enters the room flustered and almost tripping as he entered the place… his face was as pale as a ghost.

But either because what he had to say was too important or he just didn't listen to his boss's complaints due to his own anxiety, he walks over to one of the men who was sitting in a chair around a table and starts muttering something to him...

"…what?!!"

"W-what happened?"

"…"

Finishing listening to what the person who had entered told him, for the first time in that man's face a little anxiety was observed... his body even started to tremble a little.

The others, seeing such a reaction, couldn't help but start to worry and begin to question him for sharing the information. It is not until after several seconds that this man seems to recover a bit that he begins to speak with the others while his eyes went from one person to another.

"…a-a hole has been opened in the second wall. The Titans have started to invade the area inside the Rose wall! "

"" What?!! ""

Then, several of the surprised people get up from the table when that information also reaches their ears. Neither could remain as calm as a minute ago.

" Damn it, did that colossal titan manage to advance to the gates that connect to the area inside the second wall?! "

"Wasn't it like the last time that colossal titan attacked? Didn't he quickly retreat after his first attack? "

"…even though it's big, it's just a titan! The military forces there couldn't even stop a damn titan?! "

Nervousness had invaded everyone present in the room, the situation had undoubtedly changed now... and with all eyes on him as if he were the first to be held responsible for all this, the person who had reported this had no choice to talk again to try to explain things and maybe avoid any blame for this.

"N-No… the colossal titan disappeared sometime after attacking… what collapsed the door to enter the Rose wall area is another strange titan that has appeared… although it is not as big as the other one, this one had what seemed armor on his body… those in that place couldn't stop him."

"I don't care what made a hole in the wall Rose, the titans' advance must be stopped at all costs within that area! "

" Yes, if we lose that whole area now… It just won't matter if we go back to the first wall while rescuing a few individuals, the people who survive will soon die in a while because it's impossible to have enough resources with just that area!!"

"You have to prevent the advance of the titans!! All military forces must take care of it!! Even new recruits must be sent to do it!! "

" No, even if they have to make the civilians mobilize to help, they have to block the passage of the titans at the second wall!! "

"…"

Well, more than worried about the people who would be in big trouble if Wall Rose also fell, the fact that they decided to mobilize all their forces to block the titans' advance was obvious... now their own interests had been put at risk, so they had no alternative but to act more actively.

"E-Emm... sir, the scouting forces had left a few days ago..."

"Damnit! I knew that we should not accept that those fools came out of the walls!! "

"I don't care if they have to use people's bodies to plug the hole the titans have created, the important thing is that the titans can not continue entering!!"

"Y-Yes... I'll give the orders right away!"

(Eren's POV)

…Things had started to get worse, while the soldiers had started to move to evacuate the citizens who were in this place and send them to a safe place, suddenly another strange titan had appeared!

It was the size of those that were around 15m, but… its body was covered in armor that seemed to be made of bone!

Because of this, it became much more difficult to deal with it! The swords that collided with that armor simply ended up breaking without being able to cause any damage. And unfortunately, the people who faced the Titan while trying to eliminate him ended up being crushed by their hands or feet.

…this was another one of the strange things about this titan, instead of taking its time eating people, he just moved forward leaving bodies around him of the people who tried to stop it.

It was as if this one had a goal... but this sounded crazy since until now I hadn't heard of an intelligent titan... they were supposed to only move by instinct to eat people!

And soon my thoughts seemed to be right!!

It didn't take long for me to realize that this titan was moving directly towards the gate that leads into the second wall! If they didn't stop him, things would surely get much worse!

His presence was quickly noticed, so the people who were now crowding that gate to try to get inside the second wall went into chaos! On the other hand, the soldiers there moved to try to eliminate it… which, was a futile effort for them. They just ended up being crushed as it moved forward!!

Finally making a run straight for the door, after what seemed like an explosion where the bodies of many of the people who were in the place went flying, that titan had managed to break down that door even though they had managed to close it.

Simply the body of that titan was like a heavy fortress in movement... that door seemed so fragile before the push of all the mass of that body.

"W-We have to prevent more titans from advancing inside the second wall. We must resist until they somehow manage to block the hole that has been created! "

...at first, we the new recruits who were still in military training had been ordered to fall back... to put it simply, we had been evacuated just like other citizens.

I had mixed feelings about this… I also wanted to fight just like others, but seeing how many of the soldiers ended up being devoured, I couldn't help but feel a little relieved just like many in our group!

Sadly, this changed when the titans started to enter the Wall Rose area! Now we had been given the order to follow other soldiers to try to prevent our enemies from continuing to invade the human territory!

Interestingly… we had been assigned a new captain. The previous one, mysteriously disappeared before we knew it... it is presumed that perhaps he escaped somewhere to avoid having to fight against the titans. If he appears later, he will surely have to face a military trial.

Anyway, I have to say I'm a little glad about that... that person didn't seem very trustworthy, so I was a little thankful that he's not the one in charge here. After all, one bad decision or instruction from our leader would probably mean death for our group!

Well, the new captain still looked a bit nervous, but he certainly gave off a bit more confidence than the old one. The faces of the others were a bit calmer now… yes, just a bit. Most of them still had pale faces and even they can't stop their bodies from shaking a bit as we advanced toward the titans!

It couldn't be helped, it was the first time that we would fight with those things!!

"Spider- man ♫… Spider- man ♫ "

"… Mmm♫ Nun♫ Nunu♫ "

""…""

No, well… it seems that not everyone was equally nervous. As we swayed in the air, I could hear Alexander-san singing some strange song, while Shigure-san was humming the same tune… these two were definitely as relaxed as ever!

Beside her, Saeko-san was looking at them while smiling a little... she doesn't seem too worried either. But now that I think about it, I think this was quite normal… the previous time the titans had attacked, they had killed quite a few!!

"A-Alexander… where is Horo? She is fine? I don't see her anywhere."

"…don't worry, she's fine. She… she was sent to another place."

…I hadn't noticed because I was nervous too, but as Sasha says, it was strange that one of the girls who usually stayed close to him wasn't here.

Her words don't seem to completely convince Sasha since, like me, she probably doesn't remember someone giving the order for her to go somewhere else. But… perhaps seeing how relaxed he looked and that he didn't seem the least bit worried, she ends up accepting his words.

Well… since Horo -san had come together with Alexander-san to do military training and they seemed to be acquainted for a long time, I'm sure a few titans wouldn't mean much to her. So she should be fine.

Anyway… seeing these three moving forward together with us, I can't help but feel a bit calmer now.
