The Plan Worked, Right?
Thud! Thud! Under Levi's rapidly spinning blade, even the strange Black Aura around the back of the Skeleton Titan's neck couldn't recover in time.
The gash on the back of the neck continued to widen, and the ugly smile on the Skeleton Titan's face disappeared, replaced by a look of shock and rage.
With a roar, the Skeleton Titan disregarded its image and lay down, desperately protecting its gaping wound on the back of its neck with its hands.
Levi was caught off guard and allowed the Skeleton Titan to dodge, but the next second he was disgusted by the Skeleton Titan's pathetic posture.
Just as he was about to deliver the finishing blow, a piercing shriek came from the sky. Levi frowned and covered his ears as a massive figure descended from the heavens.
The fleshy wings flapped, creating billowing air currents. A pair of sharp claws grabbed the Skeleton Titan's shoulder, and then it took off, quickly escaping the venue. The Winged Titan was very fast. Levi wanted to pursue it, but his Omni-Directional Mobility Gear couldn't fly yet, so he could only watch helplessly as the Skeleton Titan was carried away by the Winged Titan.
"Damn it..." Levi's eyes were icy as he stared at the increasingly smaller black dot in the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Countless Thunder Spear exploded on the War Hammer Titan's body, terrifying fireballs bringing with them scorching heat waves, and dozens of Paradis Island Soldiers, led by Veteran Soldier of the Levi Squad, gave chase on both sides of the street.
Although the War Hammer Titan's skin was incredibly tough, it was still blasted to pieces by a terrifying weapon like the Thunder Spear.
Lala Daebak realized she couldn't hold on much longer; the warhammer power passed down through generations of the Daebak family for centuries might be lost in her hands. But even if Daebak's power disappeared, the will of the Daebak family should not. Her brother, Willie Daebak, was undoubtedly the most determined person Lala had ever met.
The will of the Tybur family must be preserved by her Older Brother and passed on forever! With this thought in mind, Lara's gaze hardened. Before her strength ran out, she had to cover her Older Brother's escape from here!
The War Hammer Titan attracted the attention of most of the Paradis Island Soldiers, while the pursuing Restoration Army was also hindered by the War Hammer Titan and was pushed back a distance.
Magath and his group, who were fleeing the venue in a panic with the War Hammer Titan, were also in a somewhat disheveled state. Many of the representatives from various countries who had originally run with them also got separated along the way.
This couldn't go on. Magath noticed an Alley around the corner not far away. He remembered it; he had walked there before. It was lined with buildings and very secluded. The key was that it was a detour to the Train, which was still under their control in Marley!
Golden Thunder shot up from the ground, steam billowed, and the Sea-Swimming Titan stood in front of the War Hammer Titan, its long tail swishing behind it, glaring menacingly.
Behind them, apart from the pursuing Paradis Island Soldiers, another roar echoed in mid-air, Golden Thunder flashed, and "Roar!!!" Attack Titan roared and stomped the ground as he charged forward.
Through the War Hammer Titan's gaze, Lara saw Magath leading her Older Brother into Alley. With no more worries, the War Hammer Titan immediately stopped, wanting to buy her Older Brother one last chance to escape.
"Demons of Paradis Island! Prepare to face the wrath of the War Hammer Titan!!" the War Hammer Titan roared, white light gathering in his hand, and a long-handled, pointed hammer instantly appeared in his grasp. He swung it in a circle, gathering his strength, and arched his body, ready to strike.
As time passed, a streak of orange-red light appeared at the edge of the starry sky.
The air above the vast Marley Capital was thick with the stench of blood and gunpowder.
The sounds of explosions, gunshots, and cries gradually subsided over time.
Amidst the trepidation of many Marley Nobility, the trembling of representatives from various countries, and the unease of the Marley commoners, the agonizing night finally passed, dawn gradually broke, and the warm sunlight bathed the earth.
Some of the bolder residents of Marley opened their doors or peeked out of their windows. The men told their wives and children to stay home while they bravely went out to investigate.
In some of the fiercest battlegrounds, the bodies of many Marley Soldiers and Restoration Army Soldiers are still being recovered, and some Soldiers from Paradis Island have also tragically lost their lives, still wearing their Omni-Directional Mobility Gear combat suits.
But now the entire Marley Capital can be said to be in the hands of the Restoration Army Soldiers.
On the streets of Marley Capital, as well as in front of important facilities, one can see many Restoration Army Soldiers with Red Scarf tied around their arms.
Many Marley citizens were unaware that the city had been taken over by the Eldians. The Restoration Army Soldiers were not wearing Armband, and their uniforms were still the old Marley uniforms. The Armband that represented Eldians identity had been removed by the Restoration Army as a disgrace.
Some Marley citizens even approached the Restoration Army Soldiers to chat and ask what had happened the night before. The words spoken by the cold-eyed Restoration Army froze the smiling Marley citizens, who then turned and ran home in terror.
Soon, terrible news spread among the citizens of Marley Capital: "Marley Capital has been occupied by the Eldians! And they're the demons from Paradis Island! Marshal Calvi is dead! Everyone, run for your lives, or the Eldians will surely unleash a massacre like their demonic ancestors!"
In an instant, countless panicked citizens of Marley rushed to the Train with their families, but they were quickly frightened away by the Restoration Army Soldiers guarding the Train who wore Red Scarf. They fled home, locked their doors and windows, and huddled together with their families, trembling with fear.
Leaving aside the fear and dread of the Marleyan, the Eldians in the Liberio Internment Zone were equally bewildered. Last night, the entire Liberio Internment Zone was in turmoil, with the roars of Titan and explosions echoing almost all night long.
As dawn finally broke, the Eldians were suddenly greeted by the Restoration Army Soldiers banging on their doors and shouting, "Fellow countrymen! We are liberated! The Eldians are liberated!"
Some older Eldia picked their ears and asked their younger relatives, "What are those children saying?" The shocked younger relatives replied blankly, "They said, 'We Eldians are liberated!'"
"Boss Yago, you've worked hard, we succeeded." Selina, with a hint of excitement, a secret, and a sense of relief in her eyes, grasped Yago's hand.
Yago smiled and said, "Yes, we succeeded."
Annie: If you've succeeded, why are you still holding hands?!
Annie quickly pried Yago and Selina's clasped hands apart. "You're tired, you need to rest!" Annie said to Yago in an unquestionable tone, the kind that would beat you up if you dared to argue.
Yago: "..."
Selina covered her mouth and chuckled; this young couple was truly adorable.
On an Airship, a bald, still-growing, human-shaped stick, steaming from head to toe, struggled twice.
"Lord Zeke? You're awake?" the dark-skinned Oliugon Pong exclaimed in surprise. Indeed, the one who had been cruelly chopped into human stumps by the six Ackerman was the poor Zeke.
Although he had been badly thwarted, Zeke endured it; at least the plan had succeeded. So, despite the pain, Zeke confidently asked Onyankopon, "Olango, the plan was a success, wasn't it? We should have successfully disrupted the Marleyan. Are we at sea or Paradis Island now?"
Onyankopon: "Uh... Lord Zeke, the plan has taken a bit unexpected turn. The Eldians have occupied the Marley Capital, and we're currently hovering over Marley Capital."
Thump! The man, too shocked to speak, fell to the ground with a thud.
