Everything Begins at One Point and Ends at Another

In the dark of the night, where all should be quiet, it was anything but usual. 

Eren, like everyone else at this moment, was very restless, and after a moment of silence, he covered his forehead with his right hand and said, "Did you know? I always wanted to be a reliable person like Reiner and I consider him a role model to follow".

"Eren, this time you must have a clear mind and do your best to kill our enemies, otherwise we will lose." Takashi said seriously. 

Taking a deep breath, Eren asked, "Takashi, why didn't you hesitate to fight the one who used to be your friend without hesitation?" 　

Takashi showed no mercy when it came to fighting the female titan, his hand and voice did not tremble to swing his knife and issue orders.　　 

"Because you became my enemies! If you hesitate, you will lose. If you soften your heart, the one who dies could be your friend, Nelson died and Thomas is gravely, do you think I have time to consider the past relationship?" 　　 

"But, we used to..." 

"Don't talk nonsense, Eren, are you aware of how many people Annie killed? She was determined to fight to the end, they are warriors with the conscience to sacrifice everything." 

"There is no need to blind our sight, the probability that the enemies will negotiate with us is extremely low. Now, if all indications are that there is no way to dialogue, there is only one way and that is battle." 　 

Eren was deep in thought, thinking about the comrades who died so far. Takashi on his side had his mind focused, he couldn't let that disturb him. 

"In fact, we have very little information and we know nothing about the purpose of Reiner, Annie and Bertholdt..." 

Eren could not be their first target, they could have taken him in the Trost district. The appearance of the female titan was very risky and more than attacking Takashi was to call all the titans at a point away from Eren. 

Takashi knew that they were not interested in negotiations either, they do not hesitate to kill but do not end the war, what are they looking for? The power of the titans can be obtained somehow, according to Kenny's plan would be to take revenge and at that point Takashi could learn the secrets of the titans. 　 

The last time Armin tried to negotiate with Annie things got out of hand, they are not looking for interaction, all they are looking for is to destroy all of humanity inside the wall. 

"Marley and its inhabitants... The goddess Ymir and the mystery of the titans..." Takashi smiled, if they have a home, they should be able to feel the despair that all humans are feeling right now. 

Eren sighed, feeling exhausted all over his body, remembering the fragments of Reiner and the others during the training period, now his heart was a mess. 

"I feel so confused now. I didn't expect to have to fight with my old friends someday. Reiner seemed to be calm and collected, looking after everyone attentively. Although Bertholdt is quieter they have a good heart.... Damn, this is so disgusting, those damn bastards." 

"Reiner kept saying he wanted to give his heart to humanity, but now it turns out he's suspected of destroying the walls, how could he have the face to say that? Traitor!" Eren hit his forehead with his fist, Miaksa grabbed him to stop him from hurting himself. 

Takashi remained silent without showing his true feelings, he didn't have much of a relationship with the enemies besides Annie, but it did bother him that he hadn't discovered them earlier. 

When he faced Annie he gave it all for the old friendship and made sure she had a quick end, now he had to make sure the enemy doesn't have time to use their special abilities.　 

"It's terrible, Amin is right, it's all because we don't know anything about this world! That's why, I'm so confused I don't know what I'm doing. " 

"No Eren, the information was always within the walls, but the nobles who prefer to keep that secret now live comfortably, while those who opposed them like the Ackermans were persecuted to the ends of the world, killed, deprived of privileges and glory they should have." Takashi thought to himself and then looked at Mikasa.

"Expel the titans, this is our true goal! Marco, Mina, Nelson and many more are all dead now. I was too naive before, but now I am determined to finish them off." Eren suddenly stood his ground, his expression fierce. After experiencing what happened with Annie, even if he still has a fantasy that it's all just a misunderstanding, he didn't have the right to lie to himself like this. 

Looking at Eren with a hateful expression on his face, Takashi remained silent, he used to say that hate begets more hate, but now he can't say such fanciful things. 

Takashi looked at his palms. The calluses, the marks and scars will continue to fight against the hatred. For Thomas who until now had not awakened and the others who are now just ashes.... 

"All of you remember, if you meet Reiner and Bertholdt later, you must remain calm." 

"As usual, don't ask questions, we will try to lure them inside the wall and don't mention anything about Annie Leonhart." Hange Zoe reminded everyone to keep quiet until they were in a quiet place.

"Now, get ready to go, our team will go first!" Hange Zoe ordered directly. 

There were about seventy people in Hange Zoe's group, and they all climbed onto their horses. Takashi lit a torch in his hand. 

After saying goodbye to Sasha, Takashi looked at that girl with a calm smile, he was at least reassured that she was safe. 

The gate of the Ehrmich district slowly opened, all members of the fourth group holding torches, left the city and marched towards the Rose wall where so far the situation was unknown. 

As soon as they entered the Rose Wall territory, many people became nervous. The Rose Wall is not safe now. Although the titans are not active at night, under the moonlight, many people sweat profusely. 

Humans are not nocturnal animals, they are prone to nervousness at night and titans are much scarier than beasts like wolves. 

Takashi this time was not nervous, he was even calm enough to appreciate the bright moon in the sky. Because of his Sharingan, he has a slightly clearer view of the night and can pick up movements much faster than the others. 

As a member of Hange Zoe's special squad, he led two combat squads, a total of thirteen people, to conduct an in-depth search. The titans appeared in the southwest of the Rose Wall. In Ehrmich district there were no appearances of titans yet, the problem was that this was a very large area. 　　 

Takashi searched endlessly through the darkness of the night, looking for his teammates and soldiers from Mike's squad. 

On the other side of the ground, the four soldiers from Mike's squad and a group of recruits were resting in the castle. They found some supplies, so now they were resting. No one knew what was in this place, so they were looking to see if there was anything they could use. 

Gelgar even found some bottles of wine and couldn't help but point out, "Hey! Look, this looks like wine, though I don't know what it says." 

No one could understand the writings that belonged to Marley. 

"Hey, don't bother me and let me rest." Nanaba was a bit upset.

Gelgar was very sorry that he could not drink. Therefore, I save the bottle of wine for later.

It's a pity that the beast titan that has been hovering outside won't give them a chance. 

While Ymir had been discovered by Reiner, Ymir also knew that she was now in danger of being considered an enemy. Just as she was about to attack Reiner, a shout came. 

"Get up on the roof immediately!" 

"Boom! Boom!" 

The sound of footsteps in the forest quickly woke everyone resting in the castle, the four soldiers from Mike's squad, Connie, Sasha, Christa, Reiner and Berthold, five recruits, ran to the roof. 

In a matter of seconds, they looked up at the titans running toward them in the moonlight, and they were all stunned. 

It is common sense that titans cannot move at night, but this group of titans were running strictly contrary to common sense. 

Reiner and Bertholdt were equally astonished. Not far to the south of the castle, a monkey-like titan with hair, 17 meters tall and thin arms appeared swinging like a fool! 

Both Reiner and Berthold were shocked, as if they had found their greatest enemy, their leader was here! 

Everyone was attracted to the running titans, and only Ymir noticed the strangeness of the two. 

"Damn it, this is impossible!" Gelgar was angry, not because he was afraid, but because he knew he wouldn't be able to drink tonight. 

Although they were badly shocked, the four experienced soldiers quickly calmed down, drew their swords and began to fight. 

It's the turn to fight, there was no time to be amazed! 

The four soldiers began to fight, they deserve to be in Mike's squad, everyone's effectiveness is extremely strong. 

With only four people, they quickly killed more than a dozen titans! 

In the castle, the five recruits without a three dimensional maneuvering team, Reiner, Berthold, Connie, Christa and Ymir, were also fighting several level 3/4 titans that snuck inside the building. 

Reiner gave him another mental attack and the excellent Reiner soldier took down the Reiner warrior. He ran to the front like a leader and did the hardest job and fought the titans. 

It was a very dangerous confrontation, but he saved Connie's life, his arm was also wounded, then he enjoyed a bandage from Christa and successfully prostrated under the admiration of everyone. 

To treat Reiner's wound, Christa poured Gelgar's wine.... 

Time passed, due to the night vision ability, the team led by Takashi was far ahead of the rest of Hange Zoe's team, and they also slowly approached the wall. 

"Boom!" 

Takashi heard a loud noise, like the sound of stones colliding. 

"Stop!" 

Takahsi ordered them all to stop, flew to the top of a large tree with his three-dimensional maneuvering equipment and began to survey the surroundings. 

"Roar!" 

A beast roar came, and Takashi followed the direction of the sound and saw a titan scale the Rose wall. 

Takashi opened his eyes wide, looking at the furry titan on the 50-meter high city wall in the distance, and then saw that it seemed to be slowly climbing down the city wall and entering the territory of Mary's Wall. 

On reflection, no normal or abnormal titan could climb the wall. That titan could be another intelligent titan like the female titan. 

"Bastards, we kill one and three more come out..."
