Attack

Yago returned to his seat and fell silent. What had just happened still felt somewhat surreal. Annie glanced at Yago, unsure of what to say. She gently nudged Yago, but Yago ignored her. Encountering someone who looked remarkably like himself was indeed quite a rare occurrence.

Mr. Leonhardt also noticed that Yago had become much quieter after returning to his seat, ignoring even his own daughter. Seeing his daughter tugging at Yago's clothes, wanting to speak but unable to, Mr. Leonhardt couldn't help but ask what had happened, while subtly criticizing Yago for ignoring Annie.

Yago then realized he had been bewitched, quickly apologized, and explained to Mr. Leonhardt what had just happened.

"Looks a lot like you? Is that so? Oh right! That's probably why those two Marley Soldiers called you Lieutenant Colonel." Mr. Leonhardt looked like he suddenly realized something; he had also remembered what happened that day.

Annie: "Lieutenant Colonel? Yago, why didn't you tell me? Tell me!" Annie tugged at Yago's sleeve, Yago had no choice but to smile and tell Annie what happened in the Liberio Internment Zone.

The gaze shifted to the Train, where the conductor, responsible for controlling the speed, let out a big yawn. He had been playing cards until late last night, so it was inevitable that he would feel sleepy today. Gradually, the conductor's eyes began to squint.

Extending the line of sight for several kilometers along the Train tracks, a dozen or so people were gathered on both sides of the tracks. They were dressed in Marleyan clothing, but their heads were completely covered with turbans.

This is the Rhine Province of Marley, most of which is uninhabited desert. It is also the border of Marley, very close to the front lines of the Marley and Middle East wars. And it is in this desert that there are a dozen or so people with strange behavior.

If there were Marleyan nearby, Marleyan certainly wouldn't understand the babbling conversation between these dozen or so people. But if a bearded Middle Easterners were there, he would definitely understand what they were saying. That's right, these dozen or so people were all Middle Easterners.

A dozen Middle Easterners were busy tinkering with something, carrying hoes and picks. They dug Pit and then stuffed packages wrapped in oil paper into Pit. At a glance, dozens of Pit had already appeared on both sides of the track.

"Captain, it's all buried!" A Middle Easterners approached their leader and reported. The Middle East leader glanced at it, nodded, and said in a chilling tone, "Very good. Is the intelligence truly reliable?"

"Don't worry, Captain. The intercepted intelligence has been confirmed by our informant in Marley. This Train is full of Marleyan Officer who are to be sent to the front lines!"

"Heh heh, Marley is old now. Without the help of the Devil Titan Power, Marley is nothing but a toothless tiger. No, the current Marley is not even as good as Hyena. We in the Middle East will eventually replace Marley! Plant the explosives and give these Marley monkeys a big gift!"

The Middle Easterners infiltrated Marley showed their fangs, and Marley appeared weak and powerless in the face of Middle Easterners various tactics.

Just then, the Middle East captain noticed someone riding a horse at breakneck speed along the distant tracks, waving their arms frantically as they galloped.

The Middle East team leader immediately understood, "Quick! Get ready, the Train from Marley is coming!" The well-trained Middle East team swiftly and efficiently moved away from the tracks.

Soon, the outline of the Train came into view of the Middle Easterners, and the Middle East captain slowly raised his hand.

The Train conductor, still half-asleep, rubbed his eyes, smacked his lips, and glanced at the Train ahead. "Hmm, everything's normal. Wait, how come there are people in such a desolate place? That's strange."

As the Train passed by, the conductor noticed a dozen or so Middle Easterners standing in the distance. Besides their strange clothing, through the binoculars, he could see the leader of them giving a cruel smile, with his hand raised high.

Before the train commander could react, the Middle East team leader suddenly swung his hand down.

As Yago was chatting and laughing with Annie, a sudden tremor ran through him. A strong sense of crisis surged into his mind, and the indescribable feeling made Yago stand up abruptly.

Not only Annie and Mr. Leonhardt next to Yago, but all the passengers in the carriage were startled.

But Yago didn't have time to explain; he picked up Annie and pulled Mr. Leonhardt along with his other hand.

The next moment, almost instantly, a surge of orange flames erupted from the clean Train windows, reflecting a light called death in the passengers' pupils.

The blast wave shattered the windows, flames surged into the carriage, and death enveloped the passengers.

On the peaceful desert, a terrifying explosion resounded, its terrifying force causing the earth to tremble.

In the eyes of the Middle East captain, the explosives buried on both sides of the tracks unleashed their most terrifying power, blowing the Marleyan Train away and breaking it into several sections, followed by flames from the explosion that engulfed every single carriage.

The Middle East captain seemed to hear the agonizing screams of thousands of Marleyan inside each burning carriage. Even as a cold-blooded soldier, he couldn't help but shudder at the thought.

"Mission accomplished, retreat!"

"The Middle Easterners' firepower is too fierce, and their fortresses are too well-built. If this continues, our troops will be exhausted sooner or later! I request to activate Operation Marley’s Wrath!" Inside the front-line Command Headquarters, an elderly Marley Officer roared, his face flushed.

Upon hearing this, Zeke glanced at the Officer. "Operation Marley’s Wrath" sounded impressive, but it was an operation fought at the cost of countless Eldians lives.

This operational plan existed even before Zeke inherited the Beast Titan. The Marley Army used Airship to airdrop countless Eldians onto enemy positions. Before pushing Eldians off the Airship, they would be injected with Titan Transformation Spinal Fluid.

And so, hundreds, even thousands, of Eldia Pure Titan were smashed onto the enemy's position. Falling from mid-air, a hundred Titan might kill more than ninety of them, while the remaining few, Titan were almost immortal, were enough to destroy the enemy's position.

When Zeke inherited the Beast Titan, the Beast Titan's special abilities brought this battle plan to its fullest potential. The Beast Titan's roar controlled the time it took for Eldians to transform into Titan, allowing more Titan to land alive on enemy lines.

"I will report this to the Ministry of Defense, but we must continue the offensive until the order is approved!" Marley General, the highest-ranking officer in Command Headquarters, said hesitantly.

"When will the reinforcements arrive? Didn't they say they were sending the Guard Corps and a large number of Officer? Where are they?!"

"They'll be there soon. I've received word that the support troops have arrived in the Rhine Province and will be there soon..."

Before Marley General could finish speaking, a Guard rushed into the Command Headquarters, his face filled with panic. "Report! General! Emergency! The Train carrying the Officer of the support troops has been attacked!"

Everyone present was stunned. "What did you say?!"

Among the crowd, only Zeke lowered his head, a strange glint in his eyes. "The Middle Easterners are doing a good job," he thought. "Who knows where they got Middle Easterners intelligence? Heh."
