The outbreak of war: Identity
"Wait! Don't attack! I have something to say!! I'm an ally!" Ivanor shouted instinctively, raising her hands as she faced the giant mouth of the Cart Titan, which was large enough to fit four or five bodies the size of her.
Beneath Ivanor's feet, the massive body of the Fusion Titan was slowly dissipating.
Upon hearing Ivanor shout that she was an ally, the Cart Titan, which had been about to devour her whole, stopped. At that moment, a piece of flesh wriggled not far from Ivanor's feet, and with a thud, the flesh tore open, and a disheveled figure emerged from the blood and gore, soaked to the bone, his chest heaving violently.
"I, Iva, you're really something, you really wanted to suffocate me in there?" Bazel said weakly. Without the support of the Paladin Titan, the massive body of the Fusion Titan quickly drained Bazel's strength, and now he only had the strength to speak.
"What do you mean? Are you an ally?" Pieck, inside the back of the Cart Titan's neck, couldn't care less about the conflict between Ivanor and Bazel; all she wanted to do was figure out what Ivanor meant by saying she was an ally.
Upon hearing Ivanor took a deep breath and explained as briefly as possible, "My name is Ivanor Adam, and my father's name is Robert Adam. You may not know him, but he was once a member of the Eldian Eldia Restorationists. In order to liberate the Eldians, my father left the Marley Continent more than ten years ago and infiltrated Europe to seek opportunities. It was at that time that my father met my mother..."
Ivanor's words left not only Pieck speechless, but even Bazel, who was lying nearby panting, dumbfounded. What? Eldia Restorationists?
Pieck was familiar with this organization and knew that the Eldia Revivalists, led by Yago, seemed to be the predecessor of this Restorationists. But, was this a joke? How could Marley's carefully selected Titan Warriors be descendants of the Eldia Restorationists? (Zeke doesn't count, because Zeke revealed his identity.)
For a moment, Pieck was completely bewildered and felt dizzy. Ivanor seemed to know that it was unlikely to convince Pieck and the others in a short time. After a sigh, Ivanor clasped his hands together and said sincerely, "If you're worried, just tie me up! If you don't believe me, go ask Selina. She knows everything. She was the one who contacted me first. Everything that happened today was part of the plan. Also, your Colossal Titan Comrade should be waiting outside the base right now. Once we open a breach, everyone hurry up and evacuate!"
"Evacuate? What about Yago?" The Cart Titan said, looking at the colossal seventy-meter-tall body. At this moment, the Colossal Fate Titan stood there like a statue, its entire body constantly spewing terrifying high-temperature steam, making it difficult for A-Yi A-Wu, who were coiled around it, to get close.
Ivanor glanced at the Colossal Fate Titan as well, and though it was difficult for her, she still spoke up, "I don't know how to explain it, but it was Yago's idea to have everyone evacuate immediately, or rather, the current situation is all part of Yago's plan. I don't know why Yago is doing this either. Revealing your plan to attack this place to Ebson was also Yago's arrangement. In short, everything is proceeding according to Yago's plan."
Pieck, inside the Cart Titan's neck, was shocked for what felt like the umpteenth time. Was all of this orchestrated by Yago?
The Cart Titan was shocked, but the Sea-Swimming Titan, the Flying Claw Titan, and the nearly exhausted Armored Titan on the other side were not idle. More and more Blood Titan surged in, and the three Titan Warriors also began to tire. Among them, Reiner's Armored Titan was in the worst condition. Its Hardening was in pieces, tattered and steaming. It was now more appropriate to call it the Shattered Armor Titan. The Flying Claw Titan and the Sea-Swimming Titan were not in much better shape.
Seeing his Comrade's state, Pieck glanced one last time at the Colossal Fate Titan, and after a moment made up his mind. Suddenly, the Cart Titan opened its massive jaws and bit down on Ivanor. Before Ivanor could react, everything went black.
Just as Ivanor's identity was revealed in a shocking twist, the periphery of the Scarlet Base also underwent a dramatic change.
The moment the Colossal Titan descended, thousands of Far East Soldiers around it suffered. Floch transformed into a position in the center of the Far East Eastern position, and in an instant, dozens of Far East Soldiers were trampled underfoot and completely Fusion with the earth. The terrifying heat emanating from the Colossal Titan also caused Far East Soldiers within a hundred meters of its body to scream as they were burned to death.
Many more Far East Soldiers were terrified. Even if some Far East Officer tried to calm themselves down, they could not stop the fleeing Far East Soldiers. A few Soldiers, under the command of their Officer, barely managed to launch an attack on the Colossal Titan, but unfortunately, the Anti-Titan Cannon that could easily shatter Blood Titan were as weak and powerless as sponges in front of the Colossal Titan.
The shells bombarded the Colossal Titan, only creating some painless blood mist. If the large-caliber Cannon from the Far East Army front lines were moved here, it might pose a threat to the Colossal Titan, but unfortunately, there are no "ifs" in life.
The Far East people never imagined that the Scarlet Base, located within their controlled territory, would be attacked by Colossal Titan. As a result, the Far East Army guarding the base only had a few dozen small-caliber Anti-Titan Cannon, which were barely adequate against Blood Titan, but against the Colossal Titan, they were like mosquitoes trying to bite an elephant.
Ignoring the futile attacks of the Far East Army, Floch, controlling the Colossal Titan, slowly raised his foot and strode towards the gate of the Scarlet Base.
Its massive body was almost entirely covered by skin, with exposed muscles and blood vessels clearly visible. Its sharp, white teeth were exposed to the air, and its eyes, larger than a normal person's head, were filled with a fierce killing intent. The Colossal Titan controlled by Floch was no benevolent being, and it would not hesitate or destroy everything like Bertholdt had before.
Everything in the path of the Colossal Titan was being crushed. Floch didn't care about the Far East Army trying to retaliate or the Soldiers trying to escape. His only concern was the gates of the Scarlet Base; he wanted to break them down, immediately! The sooner the better!
Whoosh!! Several columns of steam shot out from between the Colossal Titan's teeth. Then, the Colossal Titan raised its two arms to brace against the ridge, and one leg immediately rose up. In the horrified gazes of many surviving Far East Soldiers, the giant foot, more than ten meters long, kicked hard towards the gate of the Scarlet Base.
Boom!!! Buzz!!! An unprecedentedly loud roar and the sound of steel twisting rang out. The Far East Soldiers who were closer to the front all covered their ears in pain, blood flowing from between their fingers.
The base gate, made of tens of tons of Refined Steel, was now covered with spiderweb-like cracks and was on the verge of collapse. The Colossal Titan raised its leg once more!
