In Trost District, located within the inner ward of the second wall, was the Survey Corps' gas supply depot, where many Supply Soldiers were stationed.
But here, the soldiers had already begun arguing with their superior.
"Please wait, sir. If the Titans attack, there's no way we Supply Soldiers can hold this place by ourselves."
"Please, stay here."
"Move aside. I have to carry out the task of organizing the reinforcement troops."
"To carry out your task safely on the inner side of the gate?"
Having his thoughts exposed, the officer flew into a rage. "What are you talking about? This is an action in accordance with military regulations! Following established military regulations is a pawn's duty."
"But if this place falls too—"
The officer immediately drew his blade and pointed it at the pawn in front of him. "Shut up! Say one more word, and I'll charge you with treason! You'll be executed on the spot!"
Using her grappling hooks, Mikasa reached the roof of one of the buildings. The green hooded half-cape she wore offered some protection from the rain.
"They should have heard the retreat bell. Why hasn't everyone retreated to the inner side of the wall?"
Mikasa noticed the supply depot. It was the highest point in the entire ward, yet it had already been surrounded.
Even from here, she could roughly make out the fortress housing the supply depot, as well as the Titans crouching around it.
Inside the fortress, the Supply Soldiers were hiding in every corner, hoping they could somehow avoid being eaten by the Titans.
They were so terrified that they could no longer even carry out the task of transporting gas.
The moment they saw a Titan, they completely lost the will to fight, bound tightly by fear.
