The battle to reclaim Trost (part two)

"Squad Leader Rico! Save me!" A Garrison Soldiers, held in the Titan's grasp, cried out desperately to Rico.

Cold sweat dripped from Rico's forehead. Gripping the Blades tightly, Rico forced himself to turn around. The most crucial thing right now was to ensure that Eren could reach the breach safely.

"Ah!" Ignoring the screams coming from behind, Rico continued to direct the remaining Soldiers to protect Eren.

Mikasa's eyes flashed with rage as she instantly sliced open the nape of a Titan's neck, landing on the rooftop. She watched with concern as Eren, carrying a massive boulder, slowly moved towards the breach.

Ian is extremely anxious. There are still many Titan around, but most of the Soldiers responsible for protecting Eren have already been killed. If this continues, they may not be able to hold them off.

"Hey! You bastards! Come on, we're right here, come and eat us if you dare!"

Ian looked down at the ground in surprise. Several Garrison Soldiers were on foot, shouting to attract the Titan. The leader was his Comrade, Mitabi.

In this situation, walking on the ground would attract more attention from the Titan, but it would also be more dangerous, as attracting so many Titan would almost certainly mean certain death.

Mitabi sacrificed his life to successfully lure away a group of Titan, but more than ten Titan were still charging towards Eren.

"Attack together! We can't let these Titan interfere with Eren!" Rico quickly activated his Omni-Directional Mobility Gear and charged towards the Titan, and the remaining Soldiers also rushed towards Titan without hesitation.

Thump! Thump! Heavy stomping sounds rang out, and the earth seemed to tremble slightly. "That, that, that is!!" Ian's eyes widened, his voice trembling slightly.

At the end of the street, a Titan seventeen meters tall was slowly approaching Eren.

Looking at this Titan with scarlet eyes, a mouthful of sharp teeth, and a body full of solid muscles, everyone felt a sense of awe.

"Is this... Abnormal Titan?" Rico stared nervously at the Titan, the Titan aura emanating from it making his palms sweat as Rico gripped his sword.

"That Titan is too dangerous! We can't let him get close to Eren!" Rico shouted to Ian beside him.

Ian's expression turned serious. He swallowed hard, but still resolutely raised his Dual Blades. "Ian Squad, all troops, attack! Stop that Red-Eyed Titan!"

"Roar!!" But the next moment, the Red-Eyed Titan suddenly roared to the sky, the roar seemingly piercing through the clouds.

In his chaotic consciousness, Eren felt as if his entire body was about to be crushed, and only one thought remained in his mind: move forward, move forward, fight! Fight!

Eren felt like his body no longer belonged to him; anger and resentment seemed to be controlling him. A strange feeling arose, as if something inexplicable was trying to crawl into his head.

"Roar!!" The sudden roar startled Eren, and his previously confused consciousness cleared up.

"Eren, keep going, don't give up!"

A voice suddenly echoed in his mind, and Eren seemed to be encouraged. He thought of his Comrade, the brave Soldiers, his mother, his father, and the secret buried in the basement.

The Pointed-Ear Titan carrying the boulder suddenly roared, and his already heavy steps became even more powerful!

But now everyone's attention was drawn to the suddenly appearing Red-Eyed Titan. After the Titan roared, the Titan were originally heading towards Eren all rushed towards the Red-Eyed Titan in the next moment.

The Red-Eyed Titan was none other than Yago, who had arrived at the scene. Seeing Eren lift the boulder, Yago breathed a sigh of relief. However, looking at the numerous Titan surrounding Eren, Yago roared, drawing the Titan to attack him. It seemed that Yago had instinctively learned this skill after transforming into Titan.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, Yago smashed the head of a Titan with a single punch, and several fifteen-meter-tall Titan were like dough in Yago's hands.

Titan under ten meters tall couldn't even withstand a single blow; they were kicked away and had their necks crushed by Yago.

"What's going on? That Titan is killing Titan?" Ian stared at the Yago Titan in disbelief.

Armin reacted the quickest, immediately thinking of Eren and asking, "Could that Titan be like Eren?"

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this, looking at the Yago Titan. Could this be another human possessing the power of Titan Power? And who was he?

"At this time! Forget about the identity of that Red-Eyed Titan! Eren is close to the breach, and there are still a few Titan there. Protect Eren!" Rico knew that now was not the time to focus on this Titan. Protecting Eren and blocking the wall was the top priority. As for this Titan, judging from the fact that it was attracting Titan away from Eren, it could be considered an ally for the time being.

Everyone reacted immediately, with Mikasa being the first to rush in front of Eren, and the others following Mikasa.

"Die!" Rico roared as he sliced through the last Titan blocking Eren's path.

With nothing blocking their way, Eren carried the boulder closer and closer to the gap.

"Go! Eren!" Armin shouted excitedly.

"Ah! Fight!" Eren roared from the inside of the Titan.

Bang!!! The massive boulder crashed down, kicking up a cloud of dust, and firmly blocked the entire gap.

"We did it!!" Armin's eyes welled up with tears, and he wept with joy.

"Finally, everyone's sacrifice was not in vain." Rico's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground. With a slight tremor, he raised the Signal Pistol, and bang! The yellow Signal Flare, signifying the success of the operation, shot into the sky.

On this day, humanity defeated the Titan for the first time.

Yago, with both hands restraining a Titan, saw Eren successfully plug the gap. Inside the Titan's body, Yago smiled knowingly, "Eren, you succeeded. Humanity has won a victory, hasn't it?"

Yago suddenly released his grip on the Titan turned and opened his jaws to tear at Yago's Titan. Several other Titan also rushed forward. Yago offered no resistance and simply collapsed, letting the Titan tear him apart. His wounds only emitted a faint steam and did not heal as quickly as before.

It was Ian first noticed Yago's strange behavior, "Hey! That Titan is about to be eaten!"

Only then did everyone realize that the Titan who had been helping them were gone. But a moment later, the Titan scattered, leaving behind only a pile of gradually evaporating remains.

"That seemingly powerful Titan was just eaten like that?" Armin couldn't believe it. They didn't even know if the Titan was human...

"Armin! Come help me! Eren's been entangled!" Mikasa said anxiously, holding the unconscious Eren in her arms. Eren's lower body was tightly bound by the muscles of Titan.

Armin reacted immediately and rushed over to help.

"Watch out! Those Titan are charging!" Ian raised his sword and walked towards Eren and the others after the Titan had finished devouring the Yago Titan.

On the Wall Rose, Commander Pyxis saw the yellow Signal Flare the success of the operation.

The Soldiers around him cheered, but Commander Pyxis remained calm and immediately ordered, "All forces, rescue the Elite Squad, prepare to wipe out all the Titan in the Trost District!"

"Commander! The Survey Corps is back!" a Garrison Soldiers reported to Pyxis. Pyxis unscrewed the cap of his bottle and took a large, satisfying gulp. "Just in time! That was great!"
