The failed trap
"I'm out of ammo! Hans, quickly hand me the ammo box!" A Marley Soldiers anxiously turned and shouted to the supply soldier behind him.
The Soldiers named Hans hurriedly picked up an ammunition box and ran towards it, shouting, "It's here! The ammunition box is here..." Before he could finish speaking, Hans froze on the spot.
"What are you doing?! Hand over the ammunition box right now!" the Marley Soldiers cursed, but Hans's pupils shrank, and he looked utterly astonished.
The Marley Soldiers felt a gentle breeze behind him, and his shadow on the ground was obscured by a dark shape. Turning his head, the Marley Soldiers saw a spectacle he had never witnessed before in his life.
A figure leaped high into the air before me, holding two gleaming Blades in his hands, his cloak billowing like outstretched wings.
Instinctively, the Marley Soldiers raised his gun, which was already out of ammunition. Thud! The Blades pierced the Marley Soldiers's heart. His body immediately lost strength, and he collapsed limply. In his last moments before losing consciousness, the Marley Soldiers thought, "This is... the demon of the island."
Pulling out the blood-stained Blades, Nile shouted, "Quickly eliminate the enemy!"
One figure after another leaped onto the city wall. To the astonishment of the Marley Soldiers, the clash of swords, bullets, curses, and screams mingled on the wall.
Facing the agile Survey Corps who dared to fight Titan at close range, the Marley Soldiers were utterly defenseless, and their Rifle, which they considered their second life, were of little use at this moment.
With a crisp crack, the Armored Titan's Hardening nape was smashed open by the Fate Titan, leaving several large cracks.
Seeing this, the Fate Titan transformed his fist into claws, and sharp, Hardening claws appeared between Fate Titan fingers.
Snap! Through the gap, the Fate Titan's bone claw pierced the Armored Titan's nape.
Sharp bone claws pierced through Armored Titan Reiner's neck, and the Armored Titan let out a terrifying roar.
Once the Armored Titan was locked in place, Yago, inside the back of the Fate Titan's neck, began to exert force, preparing to forcibly pull Reiner out of the Armored Titan's neck.
Perhaps it was the pain that spurred Reiner on, Armored Titan began to struggle violently.
A crunching, bone-crushing sound rang out, and Yago's expression suddenly changed. "No way!"
"Agh!" Sizzle!! The Titan's scalding blood splattered onto the earth. The Armored Titan staggered and broke free from the Fate Titan's restraints, but at the cost of only having one arm left.
That's right, the Armored Titan chose to break off his own arm to break free from his restraints.
On the other side, the Fate Titan raised his hand, watching the blood evaporate from his fingertips, while his other hand gripped the severed arm that was constantly emitting steam, with a bone shield still attached to it.
The crimson gaze once again fell upon the Armored Titan body was heaving and who seemed to be panting.
Without hesitation, the two Titan simultaneously chose to continue charging at each other.
The Armored Titan raised its head and leaned forward as it charged toward the Fate Titan.
Strangely, the Fate Titan stopped halfway through its charge, twisted its body, raised its hands high, and assumed a golf-playing posture. What the Fate Titan was holding was the Armored Titan's arm that hadn't completely evaporated yet.
"Roar!!" The Fate Titan swung its arm in a wide arc and slammed it down on the charging Armored Titan.
Bang!!! The bone shield on the severed arm made intimate contact with the Armored Titan's face, shattering the bone armor on the Armored Titan's face and turning the Armored Titan's entire head into a messy jumble.
"It's a handy weapon, but it's not very durable." Yago sighed, then discarded the Armored Titan's severed arm.
The Armored Titan lay on the ground, its shattered head steaming, but such injuries could not be repaired in a short time.
"It seems we won't need the Thunder Spear anymore."
Flipping over the Armored Titan's body, the Fate Titan formed claws with both hands and tore at the back of the Armored Titan's neck. No matter how Hardening, it would eventually be reduced to fragments before the Jaw Titan's powerful bone claws. Blood, flesh, and broken fragments of the Hardening flew everywhere.
Soon, a slightly undulating figure appeared on the back of the Armored Titan's neck.
The Fate Titan yanked Reiner out from the back of his neck and held him up in front of it like a toy.
Reiner was steaming, his face still covered in muscle fibers. His body was powerless, and he struggled to lift his head, only to meet a pair of blood-red eyes.
The Cart Titan, running at full speed, quickly reached the trap set by the Survey Corps. Neither Pieck, nestled in the back of the Cart Titan's neck, nor Zeke, frowning as he sat on the Cart Titan's back, noticed the lurking danger ahead. They also had no idea that the carriage abandoned by the Survey Corps halfway through their journey was a carefully prepared solution for them.
"Wait! Something's wrong!" The observant Coris suddenly shouted, then quickly raised his Sniper Gun equipped with a scope, and bang!
The bullet was fired, hitting precisely at the feet of Marlo was holding a match.
The shards of dirt kicked up by the bullet hit Marlo in the face, startling Marlo.
"Marlo! Danger!" Realizing what was happening, Hitch tackled Marlo to the ground and hid behind the carriage. Their carriage was safe; the other carriages were loaded with gunpowder, and the fuses to ignite the gunpowder were ultimately connected to these two carriages.
The fuse had been lit, and sparks flew along it towards the carriages.
Because of the delay caused by Coris, the Cart Titan also stopped in its tracks.
The next moment, Boom!!! A burst of flames and a violent explosion rang out. Pieck, who was inside the back of the Cart Titan's neck, felt a pang of panic. If it weren't for Coris, given the Cart Titan's speed, they would have reached the pile of wagons at the moment of the explosion.
Zeke's face was extremely ugly. He realized that this was a trap prepared for them, and he had almost fallen into it. What angered Zeke was that things did not go as he expected. Instead, everything that happened made Zeke feel like he had been played and manipulated.
"They didn't fall into a trap! Hitch, what do we do!" Marlo asked frantically, but Hitch herself was equally bewildered and didn't know what to do either.
"Go!" With a short shout, several figures darted out from the shadows, activated their Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, and five figures charged towards the Cart Titan and Zeke from all directions.
"You guys are really infuriating!!" Zeke gritted his teeth and growled, drawing a short knife from his waist and slashing his palm. A flash of Yellow Lightning instantly enveloped Zeke.
