A night destined to be extraordinary
"Why didn't anyone notify Paradis Island about this lively meeting?" Amidst the rising dust, an extremely arrogant voice came from the dome of the conference room.
The enormous fists covered in white, Hardening bone armor slowly retreated, and through the shattered dome, everyone in the conference room saw a pair of chilling crimson eyes in the night.
The next second, whoosh! The sharp anchor suddenly slammed down from the dome and pierced deep into the conference room floor. Accompanied by the sound of Gas spraying, several figures rushed into the room like lightning, causing a gasp of alarm as the surrounding crowd retreated in fear.
With a cold look in his eyes, Levi was the first to rush to the scene. He slightly bent over to absorb the impact, then stood up straight after regaining his balance, looking down arrogantly at the crowd around him.
Several fully armed Paradis Island Soldiers landed gracefully using their Omni-Directional Mobility Gear and quickly cleared a space. The gleaming Thunder Spear and loaded pistols on their arms nearly made the cowardly high-ranking officials from various countries tremble with fear.
Using the clearing created by the Soldiers of Paradis Island, the two Orient generals and Alley, Aili complexion was still not good, landed smoothly on the ground from the dome with the help of the Soldiers and Annie.
Erwin and Hange landed steadily using their Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, proving that no matter their position, they never forget their skills honed over a decade ago.
Finally, with a dull thud, Yago, without any protection, leaped directly from the dome. The height of over five meters caused him to land with a heavy, reverberating sound.
The marks of his recent Titan Transformation were still visible on his body; the Titan markings under his eyes were exceptionally prominent; steam still emanated from his body; and he even had a faint smile on his face.
As Yago slowly stood up, the representatives from various countries around him were terrified. Everyone present was well-informed and had some understanding of Titan Warriors. The lingering markings on Yago's face and the steam emanating from him practically screamed "I am Titan Warriors!" To be in such a cramped meeting room with a Titan —wasn't that just asking for trouble?
If it weren't for the large number of Marley Soldiers outside the meeting room and the fear of Yago's sudden madness, these shrewd individuals would have already turned tail and run.
Speaking of the Marley Soldiers, even the most oblivious Marley Soldiers knew what had happened at this moment. The door was flung open, and squads of fully armed Marley Soldiers surged into the conference room like a tide.
Terrified, the representatives from various countries scrambled to the corners, making the already small space even more crowded. Soon, dozens of Marley Soldiers poured into the conference room, surrounding the Paradis Island group.
Despite being pointed at by dozens of Rifle, Yago remained completely calm, even smiling as he observed Magath, who stood silently. Magath, in turn, was also observing the group from Paradis Island who had suddenly appeared.
When he saw the two Orient generals, his already furrowed brows became even more complicated. At that moment, he also noticed the young Titan Warriors smiling and sizing him up. At the same time, he saw the small Dagger in Yago's hand, Dagger moved slightly across Yago's palm. Instantly, Magath's pupils contracted.
In contrast to the extremely tense Marley Soldiers, the Soldiers on Paradis Island remained calm.
Click—the sound of someone pulling back the bolt first instantly triggered a chain reaction among all the Marley Soldiers, a cacophony of bolts being pulled back and bullets being chambered.
A Major Marley, gripping his pistol, mustered his courage and shouted, "Intruders! Hands up!"
Yago's face turned cold, and the Paradis Island Soldiers around him began to move as well, their fingers slightly hooking the safety on their Thunder Spear. If the Marleyan didn't know what was good for them, then...
"Stop!" A powerful voice rang out, and the many Marley Soldiers looked incredulously at the head of the meeting.
"Marshal! What's wrong with you...?" Major Marley asked hoarsely.
Magath stared at the people from Paradis Island before him and issued another unquestionable order, "I said, stop! All Guard, withdraw immediately, lift the alert, and re-seal off the meeting area!"
Military orders cannot be disobeyed. Although he didn't understand, Major Marley still loudly agreed and led his troops out of the conference room in a rush, just as they had come and went like the tide.
Once all the Marley Soldiers had retreated, the Soldiers of Paradis Island released the safety from their Thunder Spear, and Yago also moved the small Dagger from his palm.
Meanwhile, other delegates from various countries watched anxiously. Under their gaze, Magath suddenly and calmly returned to his seat at the head of the table.
With a glance, Yago, without any hesitation, walked to the conference table with a smile, suddenly patting the shoulder of the representative from a small country, "You, move aside, give me a seat!"
The representative from the small country immediately jumped up like a spring, trembling as he hurriedly moved aside. At the same time, Yago's pat caused more than a dozen representatives around him to be startled and leave their seats. Now, Yago no longer needed to pat each of them on the shoulder and tell them to give up their seats.
Yago plopped down, Hange, Levi, Erwin, and the two Orient generals followed suit. There were enough seats left for the Soldiers of Paradis Island, but the Soldiers were very dutiful and stood behind Yago and the others to Guard. Annie's Aili stood behind Yago.
With two Titan Warriors as bodyguards, that's some serious prestige!
"Hmm, Marshal Magath really has a broad vision. It would have been so much better if he had done this earlier. All this fighting and killing is so uncivilized," Yago said with a stretch and a smile.
Magath remained silent, watching quietly, and an eerie silence fell over the hall. Suddenly, Yago slammed his hand on the table, looking at the huddled group of national representatives with displeasure, and said coldly, "What? Do you all have such high regard? Are we not welcome? Should we go and invite each of you to your seats?"
The terrifying pressure emanating from the Titan Warriors swept across the entire venue, sending chills down the spines of many representatives. They dared not utter a word and quickly took their seats.
As for the representatives of the few small countries whose seats were taken from them, who cares?
Soon, the conference table was filled with delegates again. However, the Joint Conference was no longer as noisy as before, because no one would have thought that Paradis Island, or the Eldians, would get involved in this meeting that concerned the world's future.
This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.
The Train station in Hope City was brightly lit, with train after Train carrying fully armed Eldia Soldiers heading to pre-arranged assembly points. Unlike their previous forced conscription by the Marleyan, this time all the Eldia Soldiers wore faces filled with hope and anticipation. They were no longer slaves to the Marleyan, no longer struggling for mere survival, but fighting for the future of the Eldia People. This battle was supreme and glorious!
