A sudden upheaval

Yago had imagined many scenarios, and although he was mentally prepared, a sense of sorrow still inevitably welled up in Yago heart when he faced dozens of swords and Flintlock pointed at him from all sides.

Yago's hands were empty, not gripping the hilt of his sword, and he seemed to have no desire to attack. However, the Scout around him did not relax at all; their muscles were tense because they knew the power hidden beneath Yago's human appearance.

"Commander Erwin, don't you trust me?" Yago asked, looking at Erwin with a bitter expression.

But Erwin's resolute expression remained unchanged, so Yago had no choice but to say, "After all, I did save Section Commander Mike's life, didn't I? Can't we discuss it?"

Indeed, from Mike, who was now lying in the medical tent, Erwin learned of Yago's actions and said, "Yago, we do thank you for saving Mike, but I believe you understand that we did it for the sake of the people the Walls. We should be vigilant against all unknown threats. Or rather, Mike said you were with the Female Titan, Annie Leonhardt, and now, where is the Female Titan?"

Yago remained silent for a moment. Annie's existence was indeed something the Survey Corps feared. No matter what, Annie was guilty. Perhaps it wasn't Annie's intention, or perhaps Annie was trying her best to avoid harming the Survey Corps Soldiers.

But some things, once done, are done. Some Soldiers still lost their lives because of Annie. Perhaps this was also a bit of Yago's own selfishness. It's impossible for a person to be completely selfless. Besides, he doesn't know the situation of Reiner and Bertholdt yet. Annie can't be exposed now. Otherwise, once Marley learns of the Female Titan's betrayal, Mr. Leonhardt in the Eldia Internment Zone will be in danger.

"I'm sorry, Commander, I can't tell you about that, but I can make it clear that we are not enemies. If you're willing to give me a chance, I'll explain." Yago could only say tentatively. The last thing Yago wanted to face was this tense situation with the Survey Corps.

Whether it was Uncle Vig who had saved him from outside the walls, his foster mother Lucia, or his Comrade had trained with him for three years, all of these people held a very important place in Yago's heart.

Or rather, Yago prefers to believe that this island is Yago true home, rather than the cold and ruthless Eldia Internment Zone in the Marley of his memory.

At this moment, Erwin, standing opposite Yago, was also filled with many thoughts. Erwin was not purely acting for the people the Walls; or rather, Erwin actually had his own selfish motives, but these motives were hidden deep in his heart.

"Erwin, think it through. Your decision concerns the entire Survey Corps." The cold voice pulled Erwin from his thoughts. Levi's expression was calm as still water, and his seemingly unprepared body was actually fully prepared for battle.

Perhaps Erwin brought Levi back from the Underground City because of Levi's strength and talent, but for Levi, it was like a beacon in his muddled life. Joining the Survey Corps was a choice Levi made without regret.

Under everyone's gaze, Erwin slowly spoke, "Yago, I'm sorry, whether someone is an enemy or not is sometimes not something I can decide, and also..."

"Awooo!!!" A sudden roar from the city wall interrupted Erwin's words and drew everyone's attention.

Turning around, amidst the dazzling yellow lightning, clumps of flesh and blood began to entangle in the air, and bones and skin began to take shape. Finally, accompanied by a massive amount of steam, two enormous creatures appeared, and the two Titan appeared on the city wall.

A Titan with pointed ears, bulging muscles all over its body, and a mouth that stretched all the way to its ears roared from time to time, swinging its huge fists to smash into the equally huge Titan in front of it. Everyone in the Survey Corps naturally recognized this Titan as Eren, who had helped humanity win the Trost Recapture Battle.

Opposite Eren stood a white-haired Titan, its entire body resembling armor, covered in large chunks of Hardening skin except at its joints. If any survivors of the Shiganshina District were here, they would surely recognize it with terror as the Armored Titan Titan had smashed through Wall Maria.

"Have Reiner and his men already made their move?" Yago asked seriously, because Reiner wasn't the only enemy.

The Attack Titan and the Armored Titan battle.

"Everyone! Immediately support Eren!" Commander Erwin reacted immediately and gave the order decisively.

Levi frowned and glanced at Yago. "Did you collude with the Female Titan to release them?"

Upon hearing this, the Scout surrounding Yago tightened their grip on their knives.

Yago was stunned. Something wasn't right. What did he mean by "colluded and released"? Had the Survey Corps already discovered Reiner and the others' identities?

"Captain Levi, can I say I know nothing?" Yago said, feeling somewhat aggrieved and inexplicably taking the blame.

"Hmph!" Levi snorted coldly, activated his Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, and rushed towards Eren's position at high speed. Compared to Reiner's Armored Titan, Eren's Titan was at a disadvantage.

Yago shook his head. It was truly an undeserved disaster. Several Scout were still watching him warily.

Twenty minutes ago.

Reiner and Bertholdt were suspended, both with their eyes closed, ignoring Hange's chatter. Eventually, Hange couldn't continue her one-woman show and had to retreat, since Hange had plenty of time to deal with the two of them.

After Hange left, the tent where Reiner and Bertholdt were imprisoned fell into darkness.

Soon, the tent flap was lifted again, and a ray of sunlight shone on Reiner's face. Reiner looked up, but the figure in front of him was not clearly visible in the sunlight. However, as the curtain fell, the face of the person who came into view became clear to Reiner.

Reiner's body twisted, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Bertholdt was startled by Reiner's actions, but he was equally excited when he saw the figure in front of him.

"Ah~ Reiner, Bertholdt, you look so disheveled. If Porco saw you like this, he'd probably regret it and jump into the sea. After all, he lost to you, Reiner." The lazy tone carried a hint of mockery, but Reiner and Bertholdt weren't angry; instead, they were quite surprised.

With slightly messy, wavy Black Hair, a delicate face, and an expression that always seemed to say "I'm so weak," Pieck Finger squatted on the ground, teasing the two people in front of him.

"Hey, you guys aren't doing well. The War Chief's probably furious right now. This is a real problem." Pieck muttered to himself as he pulled a Small Knife from the pocket of his Survey Corps uniform and used it to free Reiner and Bertholdt.

"Pah, Pieck, why are you here?!" Spitting out the cork stick in his mouth, Reiner asked this as his first question.
