The end of the Restorationists

"Eren Jaeger?" A strange light flickered in the eyes behind his black-rimmed glasses. Ebson stood in the dilapidated manor, but there was no trace of heartache on his face. Instead, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"It's my fault, Master, I'm incompetent!" The tall Bill bowed his head and begged for forgiveness, his attitude extremely respectful. It was hard to imagine why he was so in awe of the thin and frail Ebson in front of him.

"Don't worry about it, hehe Eren Jaeger? Probably not, that kid's still as clever as ever." Ebson chuckled, then pressed on, "The War Hammer Titan from the Tybur family is here too?"

Bill nodded and said, "That's right. Contrary to our expectations, the power of the War Hammer Titan isn't in Willy Tybur, but in a woman."

"A woman? That's really unexpected. No wonder Willy was so calm in front of me last time. Heh, I underestimated him."

Ebson walked into the ruins of the manor villa, squatted down, and picked up a broken ink bottle from the rubble. Looking at the ink bottle, he muttered, "Looks like the Tybur family can't sit still anymore. But our plan is almost complete. Heh, Marley, Paradis Island, the Middle East... they're all just clowns."

Ebson tossed the ink bottle aside, turned to Bill, and said, "Give Newt to the Marleyan. After all, we still need them for now. Also, I brought back the final experimental subject. God's Plan has entered its most critical phase. Bill, don't let me down again."

Bill's body trembled slightly, and he bowed his head in acknowledgment, "Yes, Master."

Before Ebson could say anything more, a Guard rushed over, panting, and said, "No, it's terrible, Master! Those Eldians have all escaped and killed our men!"

Ebson's eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at Bill with displeasure, coldly saying, "Get rid of them." Those Eldians were no longer of any use to Ebson, so Ebson simply told Bill to get rid of them; Bill naturally understood the implication.

Bill readily agreed, then immediately turned and left to gather manpower.

The door to the General Store was kicked open roughly, Wick stared in disbelief as a group of people rushed in. There were men and women, old and young, but they were mostly elderly people, women and children. The younger ones were almost all covered in blood and had suffered serious injuries. They were also carrying some pistols Rifles.

What surprised Wick even more was that some of them were wearing Armband — Eldians!?

The disheveled Eldians were panting heavily inside the General Store; some of the children had lingering fear in their eyes, and those with families huddled together.

With such a large group of people, some of whom were armed, Wick dared not make any rash moves and could only stand frozen in place. At this moment, Wick's brain was working frantically, but he still didn't know what to do.

Just as Wick was at a loss, the General Store door opened again, and Yago, wearing Trench Coat, walked General Store. Wick quickly went to greet him, nervously asking, "Brother Yago, what's going on?"

Yago surveyed the Eldians for a moment, then asked Wick, "Brother Wick, is there any way to get them to Paradis Island or Marley?"

"What?!" Wick was stunned.

Half an hour later, a squad of fully armed Marley Soldiers suddenly appeared on the streets of Marley Capital and rushed straight towards the Liberio Internment Zone.

Inside the General Store, the wounded young people of Eldia grimaced as they tended to each other's wounds. Some food and water were distributed to the elderly, women, and children, especially the children, who munched on bread as if they hadn't eaten for days.

"Eldia Restorationists!? What? Wasn't that organization wiped out by the Marleyan long ago?" Wick was somewhat surprised by Yago's explanation.

Yago nodded with a complicated expression. He hadn't expected that Ebson had been experimenting on the Eldians, especially the children. Many Eldia Restorationists' family members had died at his hands.

Yago's encounter with these Eldia Restorationists was purely accidental. A previous assassination attempt had almost wiped out the entire Restorationists' young and middle-aged fighting force, and the last remaining members had also died in the rescue operation to save their families.

Yago also unexpectedly encountered them as they were fleeing in a disheveled state.

Before dying Restorationists, Jack, the blind leader, revealed the whole story: the Restorationists had indeed almost perished, but with the help of a Marley Nobility, they barely survived, and they trusted this Nobility very much.

As the Eldia Restorationists grew stronger with the help of the Nobility, the Nobility's insidious fangs were revealed. Their actions were betrayed, resulting in heavy casualties. The Nobility deceived them into protecting their families, when in fact they were using their families for horrific experiments.

It was only when one child managed to escape that Jack and his friends learned the truth, and the last members of the Eldia Restorationists decisively mobilized to rescue their family.

When Jack learned that Yago was a fellow countryman from Paradis Island, he was overwhelmed with emotion. His wounds were bleeding, and his body was gradually losing sensation, but Jack still gripped Yago's hand tightly, pleading, "Fellow countryman! Please, please, save our families, please, the children... and Selina, I was wrong, I shouldn't have trusted Ebson, I'm so sorry Selina..."

That's right, the Nobility was Ebson. Although he didn't know who Selina was, whom Jack had mentioned, Yago still led the rest of his men to the Marley Volunteers's contact list, hoping that they could be of some help.

"Paradis Island? I know about that. The next survey ship heading to Paradis Island is controlled by our Volunteers, so there shouldn't be any problem. Zeke Zeke's plan seems to be the same." Wick for a moment and gave an affirmative answer.

Yago breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, Yago didn't understand the Eldia Restorationists very well, because Eldia Restorationists goal was to overthrow Marley and restore the Eldia Empire of a hundred years ago, something Yago wasn't very interested in.

What moved Yago were the innocent children, their arms covered in needle marks and bruises. This reminded Yago of his own past and of Jack's dying plea, which didn't ask for the island's people to restore the Eldia Empire or anything like that, but only for the protection of their families.

After entrusting these Eldians to Wick, Yago tightened his Trench Coat and left the General Store, heading straight for the Liberio Internment Zone.
