Battle
"The target of the Anti-Personnel Omni-Directional Mobility Gear Device is humans, not Titan, so it is different from the normal Omni-Directional Mobility Gear."
Before the operation began, Yago and Hange visited an old friend, Lynch, who was in charge of repairing and manufacturing Omni-Directional Mobility Gear.
The Anti-Personnel Omni-Directional Mobility Gear Device was also his design. Lynch was once Nobility, so he naturally had some bias towards the Royal Government.
But Lynch was deeply disappointed by what the Royal Government had done over the years; even the Capital on the Throne was a fake.
Lynch then explained the advantages and disadvantages of the Anti-Personnel Omni-Directional Mobility Gear Device to the Survey Corps, so that they could formulate corresponding tactics.
Ultimately, it was Armin who came up with an idea: to use the Signal Flare commonly used by the Survey Corps, increase the amount of explosives, and make them into large Smoke Bomb. This way, the Central Military Police would lose sight of them and would be unable to take advantage of their long-range attack capabilities against Anti-Personnel Omni-Directional Mobility Gear Device.
Smoke can also provide cover for the Survey Corps to engage in close-quarters combat with the Central Military Police.
"Captain! The entire Levi Squad, including the reserves, is assembled!" Petra's eyes gleamed as she stood at attention and saluted.
Behind Petra, besides Juda, the previously injured Eld and Oro, whose head was still bandaged, also rejoined the Oluo. In Oluo's words, "How could we, the Levi Squad, be left out of the task of overthrowing the Royal Government! We are the strongest force in the Survey Corps!"
Besides the fully assembled Levi Squad, there were several New Recruits: Jean, Armin, Connie, Sasha, Mikasa. They were all highly talented New Recruits and also reserve members of the Levi Squad.
In addition, there are three Soldiers with the strength of Titan Power: Yago, Annie, Ymir.
The Central Military Police's attempt to stop such a force was futile, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Following Erwin's plan, Levi Squad and Hange's Squad launched the first attack, while the rest of the Survey Corps forces took control of the entire Reiss Estate.
"Moblit, remember to protect anything valuable inside! Nifa, Aiya, you two be careful too!" Hange kept instructing her subordinates.
Moblit exchanged helpless glances with the others. Having followed Hange for so long, Moblit certainly knew what precious thing Hange was talking about—everything related to the Titan.
Levi's eyes were filled with complex emotions as he looked at his subordinates. There was a time when Levi thought he was indifferent to life and death, but when his men actually fell in front of him, Levi became more frantic than anyone else.
"Prepare for battle! Your own safety is the first priority." As Levi gave the order, the Soldiers of Levi Squad and Hange's Squad drew their Blades.
Before them stood an inconspicuous wooden door within the Reiss Estate. According to the confessions of captured Central Military Police prisoners, this was the Reiss Family's hidden sanctuary.
At the same time, dozens of Flintlock were aimed at the wooden door from behind it.
Inside the Crystal Cave, Traute and his group of over thirty Central Military Police stood atop a tall Crystal Pillars.
Traute stared intently at the wooden door. As the Deputy Captain of the Action Squad, she was confident she could take down the first Soldiers stormed in through the exit with a single shot.
The heavy wooden door creaked and began to shake.
All the Central Military Police immediately went on alert.
Bang! The wooden door was violently flung open, Traute fired a shot instantly, sending splinters flying everywhere.
To Traute's astonishment, all that appeared outside the door were several enormous Wooden Barrel, which tumbled down the steps with a gurgling sound.
The surrounding Central Military Police were also completely bewildered. Traute gritted his teeth and roared, "Fire! It might be a trap!"
Under the Deputy Captain's order, the Central Military Police immediately unleashed their firepower on the Wooden Barrel without hesitation.
Bang! The Wooden Barrel exploded violently, and pungent white smoke immediately poured out of Wooden Barrel.
Traute's eyes narrowed. "Damn it! It's Smoke Bomb! They're trying to distract us. Be on alert immediately!!"
"Now! Attack!" Donning special masks and goggles, Levi gave the order, and the entire crew immediately sprang into action.
The Omni-Directional Mobility Gear was activated, steel cables were launched, Gas was released, and Levi was the first to rush into the Crystal Cave.
The sharp Blades was drawn, the cold light flashed for only a moment, and the two Central Military Police fell to the ground, their eyes wide open, clutching their bleeding necks.
"Fire!" The Central Military Police also spotted Levi at that moment, and their firepower poured in.
Levi immediately hid behind a Crystal pillar, and with his exceptional observation skills, he roughly determined the enemy's strength.
Levi loaded a Signal Flare into his Signal Pistol and said, "Attention, there are 34 enemies in total. Prepare to engage."
At the same time, Levi pulled the trigger, firing Signal Flare that instantly enveloped him in a cloud of smoke, blinding the Central Military Police.
"Damn it!" Traute realized that the Central Military Police's weakness had been discovered, but now they had no way out.
Bang! He nimbly dodged a bullet fired by Military Police in front of him.
The steel cable launcher of the Anti-Personnel Omni-Directional Mobility Gear Device was fixed to the wrist along with the Flintlock, which limited the Central Military Police's attack range to a semi-circle in front of them. Furthermore, reloading the Central Military Police's Flintlock was also a major problem.
If they maintain distance from the enemy, the Central Military Police naturally have enough time and space to reload. However, if they are brought close, the tedious reloading process becomes a nightmare for the Central Military Police.
He accelerated to the right, rushed into the smoke, and used the smoke as cover to trick the Central Military Police into firing another bullet.
The Central Military Police hurriedly reloaded, but by then Rang had already rushed behind him and, without any hesitation, pierced the Central Military Police's chest with his Blades.
It was through blood and fire that Rang matured.
On the other side, the Levi Squad worked together seamlessly. Levi charged ahead, drawing most of the Central Military Police's firepower, while the other members of the Levi Squad, led by Juda, followed closely behind, eliminating all the military Military Police who threatened Captain's safety.
Connie covered Sasha, Sasha unerring archery skills also took away a group of Central Military Police.
Hange's Squad was also a fierce fighter.
Within a short period of time at the start of the battle, the Central Military Police had lost more than a dozen men.
Traute realized they couldn't continue like this, so he immediately ordered a retreat and a regrouping, urging everyone not to get separated.
The concentrated firepower of the Central Military Police temporarily halted the Survey Corps' offensive.
"Levi! Hahaha, I didn't expect it to be you!"
The arrogant laughter reached everyone's ears, and upon hearing that familiar voice, the Central Military Police were instantly energized.
"Captain Kenny!!"
Kenny, wearing Black Top Hat, entered.
Bang! Bang! Two shots were fired in an instant, and the two Scout from Hange's Squad fell to the ground.
"Kenny!" Levi's eyes turned fierce, especially after witnessing Kenny kill two Scout right in front of him. Levi turned and charged at Kenny.
"Perfect timing!" Kenny removed the used Gun Barrel, reloaded it, and fearlessly faced Levi.
"Faster! Historia is in danger!" Ymir said anxiously.
Annie, Yago, Mikasa, and Armin followed behind. This was also Armin's plan: Captain would distract the Central Military Police, while they would take the opportunity to sneak into the smoke to rescue Eren and Historia.
