Victory in sight
"Such speed! We can't hit them at all!" Inside the armor on the back of the Cart Titan, the members of the Cart Squad panicked. In their sight, the five figures in mid-air were like ghosts, and even the strongest firepower of the Machine Gun could not catch up with them.
Meanwhile, the Cart Titan was also running for its life, relentlessly pursued by Survey Corps Soldiers. Thunder Spear exploded around it from time to time, putting immense pressure on Pieck. She had Porco in her mouth and the members of the Cart Squad behind her. The safety of her Comrade, with whom she spent every day, was a major concern for Pieck.
Although the Cart Squad couldn't hit the Ackermans, the barrage of fire from several Machine Gun temporarily halted Ackermans advance.
But then, with a barely audible gunshot, bang! One of the Machine Gun inside the armored vehicle suddenly went silent.
Sasha, with a piece of jerky still in her mouth, knelt on one knee, holding Sniper Rifle, calmly pulled back the bolt, and quickly fired another shot.
Bang! Another Machine Gun misfired. "Sniper!!" The surviving Cart Squad members realized something was wrong and shouted to warn their teammates, raising their guns, but through the narrow observation port, they couldn't see any trace of the sniper.
Before he could think further, a hot bullet pierced his forehead. Of the five Machine Gun, only one remained, still putting up a fierce resistance. It seemed the death of his comrade had made the last member of the Cart Squad anticipate his fate. With a final shout, he cried out, "Miss Pieck! Run!"
Bang!! As the last Machine Gun misfired, Sasha finished chewing the jerky in her mouth and began reloading.
Pieck immediately realized that the Cart Squad had been wiped out, and Pieck also quickly spotted Sasha on a nearby high-rise building.
"You bastard!! You bastard!" Pieck shouted angrily from the back of Sasha's neck, as the Cart Titan accelerated even further and charged toward Sasha.
Sasha had already loaded her bullets and was not afraid of the approaching Cart Titan. The distance was very close, and Sasha didn't even need to aim. She quickly emptied her bullets and then immediately activated the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear to jump off the building.
All five bullets struck one of the Cart Titan's eyes, instantly blinding Pieck in that eye. Just as Pieck was about to turn around, she forgot that without the Cart Squad's firepower, the menacing Ackermans were now unleashing their cold blades.
By the time Pieck realized that A-Yi had suddenly appeared in front of him, it was too late.
With a swoosh, the sharp Blades offered no resistance A-Wu instantly severed the Cart Titan's heel. He turned the hilt around and, pursuing ultimate Ackerman, removed the slightly worn Blades, immediately drawing two brand-new Blades from their sheaths. The gleaming Blades twirled beautifully in the air.
Thud! Thud! Blades flashed, blood and flesh splattered— the Beast Titan had recently enjoyed the Ackerman's swift blade service, and now the Cart Titan could experience it too.
At the same time, the Cart Titan's limbs were all severed. "No! No! No!" In Pieck panic, Pikle saw that A-Yi had disappeared. Then, Pieck felt a sharp pain in her stomach. In her incredulous gaze, she saw what was happening beneath her for the first time inside the Cart Titan's neck.
Because of the complex armor on the Cart Titan's back, with layers of locked leather covering its neck, A-Yi bypassed the neck and chose to attack from a place no one had ever thought of before.
She charged straight at the Cart Titan's neck, drew her Dual Blades, and slashed mercilessly. The Titan's scalding blood poured onto A-Yi, but A-Yi paid no heed, piercing the Cart Titan's neck with her bare hands.
When Pieck, with Blades stuck in his stomach, was dragged out by A-Yi, who was covered in blood, Pieck, writhing in pain, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw A-Yi's familiar face. It seemed like this wasn't the first time they had met. Pieck also had a very deep memory of A-Yi, the Black Hair girl who had cut off his hands the moment they met.
The massively collapsed body of the Cart Titan began to evaporate, and Porco, who had barely regained a bit of strength, gradually emerged from the Cart Titan's mouth. However, as soon as Porco opened his eyes, he was faced with several cold Blades.
Cart Titan, Flying Claw Titan, resolve!
Shiobis District.
"Damn demon! Die!!" A Marley Officer, his head covered in blood, roared as he raised his empty Rifle and staggered toward Jean.
But halfway there, he was knocked to the ground by a heavy punch from Connie on the other side, letting out a painful howl.
His brow furrowed as he surveyed the hellish scene around him. Due to the Colossal Titan's nuclear attack, most of the Shiobis District had been reduced to ruins, and countless Marley Soldiers lay buried beneath the rubble.
Fortunately, because the Shiobis District is a military zone, the troops stationed there are all from Marley; otherwise, who knows how many innocent civilians would have died here.
The Colossal Titan's attack resulted in the deaths of thousands of Marley Soldiers in the Shiobis District. Most of the remaining Soldiers were also rendered unable to resist. Under the shouts of the Restoration Army Soldiers with Red Scarf tied around their arms, the surviving Marley Soldiers all knelt down and surrendered.
But there were quite a few Marleyan like the Marley Officer from before, cursing Connie, Rang Huan, and the other Eldia Soldiers. The Soldiers from Paradis Island probably couldn't understand why these Marleyan were acting so recklessly.
But the Soldiers of the Restoration Army were not surprised at all. When they encountered tough guys, the Restoration Army did not tolerate them. They would smash them with the butt of their rifles, knocking out half of their teeth, and they would behave much better.
"Connie, are these Marleyan really that hostile to us?" Jean's eyes were filled with complex emotions. Connie patted him on the shoulder. "Don't overthink it, Jean. This is war. Some things are unavoidable. Think of our comrades who died at the hands of the Titan. War is cruel."
Hearing this, Rang sighed and turned to leave with Connie.
The Marley Officer, knocked to the ground by Connie's punch, was still muttering and yelling, "Damn Eldia demons... They're all pigs! They all deserve to die... They deserve to die!"
At that moment, a young Restoration Army Soldiers walked up to him, frowned, and, being in the prime of his Soldiers, was filled with indignation at the Marleyan's oppression of the Eldians. He couldn't stand it now and kicked the Marley Officer in the mouth, yelling, "Shut up! You're so noisy!"
The hard sole of the leather boot knocked out two of the Marley Officer's teeth, and the intense pain made Marley quickly shut his Officer.
The turmoil in the Marley Capital gradually subsided, and the sounds of explosions and gunfire gradually quieted down.
Armin helped the somewhat weakened Floch, and looking at the Shiobis District, which had been half destroyed by the Colossal Titan, Armin sighed, but Floch's eyes remained resolute.
Inside the naval port, Hange also stepped out of the command center. Looking at the gradually calming Marley Capital, she sighed, "It seems we succeeded, Erwin. Looks like I wasn't such a bad Commander after all?"
On the sea, apart from the warships of Paradis Island and the Hizuru, all the Warship of other countries were reduced to ruins, leaving only merchant ships and steamers of various countries without offensive capabilities. From now on, the master of the Marley Capital will change, and victory is in sight.
