"Historia! Are you alright?" Ymir rushed to Historia's side, looking her over and touching her every inch, afraid that Historia might be hurt in the slightest.

Thump! Accompanied by a dull thud of flesh hitting flesh, Yago, whose Omni-Directional Mobility Gear was at its maximum speed, was thrown away by inertia as he knocked Zeke, who was originally holding Eren's head down, away.

Mikasa rushed to Eren's side and hugged him tightly as Eren remained bound.

The Soldiers who had been suppressing the rebellion rushed forward and detained all the members of the Imperialists.

Nack's face was ashen, filled with despair, while Arno remained expressionless, though his gaze towards Historia softened slightly.

"Zeke! Did you succeed?" Yelena asked anxiously, helping Zeke, who had been knocked away by Yago, to his feet.

Zeke's eyes were somewhat dazed; he hadn't yet recovered from the road. When his vision cleared again, he could only manage a bitter smile as he faced Yelena.

At the same time.

Inside the Survey Corps base, a furtive little head peeked out of the Dungeon entrance. After looking around to make sure no one was there, Pieck took the lead and ran straight out of the Dungeon.

Porco followed closely behind, but Reiner did not come out with them. Despite Pieck and Porco's long attempts to persuade him, Reiner was completely withdrawn, did not want to talk to the two of them. Helpless, Pieck and Porco could only escape first.

Due to the Coup, the Survey Corps' base is now deserted except for the smell of blood; the Scout who remained there have been taken away and imprisoned by the Coup's Military Police.

"Pieck! What do we do now that we've escaped? Where are we now?" Porco followed closely behind Pieck, looking very anxious.

Pieck rubbed his stomach and said seriously, "This should be the capital of Paradis Island? If there's a rebellion in their capital, the whole city will definitely be in chaos. We can take advantage of the chaos... to find something to eat! Otherwise, we'll definitely starve to death!"

"Ah?"

In just two days, this Coup, hastily launched by the Imperialists, was quelled so quickly that most of the people in the Capital were unaware of what had happened.

This time, the Parliament's purge methods became truly brutal. A large number of former Nobility were implicated and dragged down with them. The Parliament, who had almost all been affected by the coup, showed no mercy to these old Nobility who still harbored Coup intentions. They dealt with them all with deadly force, and it could be said that rivers of blood flowed and heads rolled.

The army also underwent a major reshuffle under the strong suppression of Commander Pyxis. Officer who participated in the Imperialists Coup or who intentionally favored the Imperialists Officer all removed after the Parliament collected evidence. Some were beheaded, some were demoted, and nearly half of the Officer in the Military Police Brigade were removed from their posts.

Military leaders realized that the old system was no longer suitable for the modern world, and thus unanimously agreed to military reforms.

The initial decision was to draw a large number of elite troops from the Three Military Branches to form a new army in conjunction with the core members of the Eldia Revival Army who were providing support from outside the island. However, the Three Military Branches on Paradis Island would be retained, but reduced in size, and would play a more symbolic role in guarding Paradis Island.

Shortly after the Coup' état incident, the Paradis Island Parliament convened an emergency meeting to discuss future matters.

Due to his Prime Minister Zackly resigned from his post Prime Minister of Paradis Island. Commander Pyxis Zackly him Prime Minister, which goes without saying. Under the current circumstances, only Pyxis can win the support of the people by taking over Zackly's position.

It's a pity that the Commander Pyxis, or rather, the Pyxis president, was so eager to retire.

The meeting room was as noisy as a marketplace. Queen Historia did not attend this meeting concerning the future of Paradis Island. In the Queen's words, she was still shaken by the Coup and needed to rest for a while to calm down.

"Arno Reiss instigated Coup, a crime unforgivable! He should be sentenced to death immediately!"

I agree!

"But this person does have royal blood from the Reiss Royal Family; wouldn't it be a waste to kill him?"

"And what about those damned Marley Volunteer Army? I knew they weren't good people, and sure enough! This time, even the Imperialists scum have admitted their involvement in the Coup!"

Looking at the spittle-drenched, red-faced Parliamentarian, Prime Minister Pyxis was at his wit's end. He just wanted to pull out a bottle of liquor from his pocket and take a few swigs, but because he had become Prime Minister, for the sake of Paradis Island's reputation, Pyxis was forced to quit drinking, and all his treasured liquor bottles were confiscated.

In fact, the main purpose of the Parliamentarian who came to this meeting was not the trivial matter that was just being debated. In any case, the Imperialists's plan has been thwarted, and dealing with the Imperialists is like eating the dishes laid out in front of you; there is plenty of time and methods to start eating.

However, another matter is quite significant: Pyxis succeeds as Prime Minister, then Pyxis's position as military commander-in-chief will be vacant, which is the position that all the bigwigs are most concerned about.

Due to the implementation of military reforms, the position of the Legion Commander-in-Chief was changed to the Commander-in-Chief Paradis Island. As envisioned, in addition to the local garrisons protecting the Capital and major cities, the Commander-in-Chief has the authority to mobilize all other troops, including the navy, the newly formed air Air Force (which does not have a single Airship), and the newly established New Army.

Such power is terrifyingly vast, yet also incredibly alluring.

Finally, after a lot of nonsense, the election of the Commander-in-Chief was finally brought up, but before a few military leaders with ideas could speak up...

A cold voice rang clearly in everyone's ears, "I, Yago Norman, will assume the position of Commander-in-Chief of Paradis Island. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

The entire conference room fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone stared in disbelief at the young face at the very end of the meeting. Among the Parliamentarian who were mostly in their thirties or forties, Yago's seventeen-year-old face was truly unique.

But Yago's words clearly angered the military leaders. "What are you talking about, a mere brat who hasn't even grown his first hair? You want to be the Commander-in-Chief? Why don't you become the king?"

Just as someone was about to rebuke Yago, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Yago's body. A faint scarlet light flashed in his eyes, and his fierce gaze made the military leaders feel as if a ferocious Titan was roaring at them from behind Yago.

"Other Shore the ocean, there are 100,000 Eldia Revival Army soldiers; they are all my subordinates. The entire Marley Capital, dozens of arsenals and other factories, and countless technical materials were all won by my men."

The New Army on Paradis Island will also undergo military reform training by my subordinates. It can be said that, besides me, who else can sit in the position of Commander-in-Chief? You? You? Or you? I'll repeat it again, who agrees and who disagrees?"Yago pointed at one military bigwig after another without any politeness, making them so angry that their noses turned red.

But Yago's words were impossible for anyone to ignore. They realized that although Yago was young, he was the leader of the Eldia Revival Army. Now that the Imperialists had been destroyed, only the Restorationists remained as a large organization on Paradis Island, which meant...
