Wall Maria then collapsed, revealing the Colossal Titans as residents and soldiers watched them march away and joined in chanting “Dedicate your hearts.”

As the Rumbling began, Historia secretly left the Royal Palace and rode atop the Founding Attack Titan. Meanwhile, the Allied Army debated the Far East’s likely attack on Hera Province, with Marley and Eldia’s forces keeping their distance.

• The Allied Army’s generals discussed the Far East’s troop buildup in Hera Province, while Magath stayed silent and Yago’s Eldia Forces sent no representative.

Far East generals argued against advancing farther into the Middle East, but their governments had ordered them to attack Hera Province at Ebson’s direction. General Evans gathered several officers to resist Ebson’s control, while Yago secretly sent Sasha, Connie, and Jean to withdraw Paradis’s troops and prepared Aili to depart for Twilight Town.

• Aili feasted at the Knight’s cocktail party and ordered more food and orange juice, baffling a waiter with her manners.
• Aili scattered coins for the waiter, who then admired her simple tastes, as the Knight sounded its horn near Twilight Town.

Aili arrived in Twilight Town on the Knight and slipped through the harbor without using her false identity. Meanwhile, Ivanor demanded command of the Far East forces and entered a building under guard, leaving her purpose unclear.

• The Knight docked in Twilight Town, and its captain bribed the Far East inspection squad to finish its search quickly.
• Aili disguised her appearance, passed through the harbor checkpoint unnoticed, and hired a carriage to take her to an address on a slip of paper.
• Ivanor ordered the Far East forces' supreme commander to hand over command, and he begrudgingly accepted her authority because of her powerful Marleyan connection.
• Ivanor arrived on a quiet street, recognized a certain spot, and ordered her soldiers to seal off a building while she went inside.

• Ivanor greeted Aili with an exuberant embrace, then told her she commanded the Far East forces in Twilight Town and could mobilize five thousand troops and thirteen warships.

She warned Aili that the scarlet mist could turn non-Eldians into Titans and drive Titan Warriors mad, while Yago's Eldia Soldier fleet approached Twilight Town.

• The Far East fleet confirmed the European warship's identity and awaited orders from Twilight Town Command Headquarters.

• In Paths, Zeke told Eren to show how far he could go, and Eren said that Yago had been directing the story and that the real show had begun.

Yago’s team infiltrated the Scarlet Base disguised as a convoy carrying prisoners, aiming to surprise Ebson. As they neared the base, Yago acknowledged the Marley Warriors’ uneasy position and reflected on how circumstances had forced Eldians to bear Titan Power.

• A convoy carrying Allied Army prisoners approached the Scarlet Base, where Far East soldiers feared the mysterious Demon Mist and the people who entered the facility.
• Ivanor’s presence persuaded a checkpoint officer to let the convoy pass without inspection.
• A-Yi worried that a guard had seen her, and A-Wu prepared to attack before Yago stopped him to avoid raising the alarm.
• Yago’s strike team—Aili, Reiner, Porco, Pieck, A-Yi, and A-Wu—continued toward the base while Annie and the others waited outside to support them.
• Pieck questioned whether Yago trusted her, Reiner, and Porco despite their former ties to Ebson and the Marley Warrior Unit; Yago said he understood their circumstances and wished Eldians had never been burdened with Titan Power.

Yago and the others infiltrated Scarlet Base alongside Ivanor, disguised as Far East soldiers, and entered its heavily guarded underground interior. Their cover seemed intact until Bazel recognized something familiar about Ivanor’s masked companions and grabbed Aili.

• Yago and the others entered Scarlet Base wearing gas masks and disguised themselves among the Far East soldiers after the prisoners were taken away.
• Ivanor led Yago, A-Yi, A-Wu, Pieck, and Aili into the enormous main section of the base and brought them to a troop station.
• Bazel stopped Ivanor and questioned her about where she had been, but she brushed him off and tried to continue with her companions.
• Bazel grabbed Aili, noticed her silver hair, and left her frozen with fear.

Yago and his allies entered Ebson’s secret base with Ivanor’s help and prepared weapons and Omni-Directional Mobility Gear for a surprise attack. As they waited for Ivanor to locate Ebson and the other Titan Warriors, Porco discovered a strange device that showed his face on a screen elsewhere.

• Bazel grew suspicious of Aili and tried to remove her mask, but Ivanor slapped his hand away while Yago stopped A-Yi from attacking him.
• Ivanor led the group into the base’s core, where they heard roars from a massive steel building used for Ebson’s experiments on non-Eldians.
• The group reached a secluded corner, removed their masks, and found crates of Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, Thunder Spears, and other weapons.
• Ivanor showed Yago a map and planned to scout Ebson’s location while Yago and the others waited in hiding.
• Porco spotted a scarlet-glowing device, and a screen in a dark room displayed his confused face.

Ivanor confronted Bill as A-Yi and A-Wu ambushed a Far East patrol, exposing the group’s location. Yago led the others fleeing under a storm of gunfire while hundreds of Far East soldiers pursued them.

• Ivanor met Bill on a deserted path, and Bill accused her of luring the group into a trap for the Doctor.

• A-Wu reported that the group had been exposed, while Aili suspected someone had betrayed them; Yago carried her away with his Omni-Directional Mobility Gear.
• A-Yi carried Pieck, A-Wu fled alone, and Reiner offered to carry Porco as they escaped through the buildings under heavy gunfire.

• A-Yi and A-Wu launched two Thunder Spears at the Winged Titan, who fell and smashed into a steel building, while Reiner slipped off a rooftop.

Selen Evans delivered Ebson’s challenge to Yago, then released Scarlet Mist among the Far East soldiers and transformed hundreds of them into Blood Titans. Yago and his companions faced a path of Blood Titans leading to the Laboratory where Ebson waited.

• Reiner lost his balance, but the Flying Claw Titan caught him and set him safely on the roof.
• Selen Evans told Yago that Ebson was waiting at the Laboratory and offered him the choice to submit.
• At Yago’s request, the Flying Claw Titan threw a bone claw that overturned Selen’s truck and exposed canisters of Scarlet Mist.
• Selen shot open the canisters, transformed into the Red Fire Titan, and burned nearby soldiers as the gas spread.
• More than a hundred Far East soldiers transformed into Blood Titans, while Selen left Yago and his companions facing a trail of Titans leading to the Laboratory.

Yago and his allies prepared to fight their way through the Blood Titans as the Winged Titan regenerated and flew off. After the Far East defeated the Middle East’s reserve army, Magath ordered Marley’s forces to clear the waters around Light Harbor and evacuate civilians, then learned that the War Hammer Titan had disappeared.

• Yago asked A-Yi, A-Wu, and Reiner to ready their blades, then planned for Pieck to carry Porco and Aili while the others cleared a path through the Blood Titans.
• The Winged Titan regenerated, killed several Blood Titans, and flew toward something in the distance.
• Ahmed learned that the Far East had routed the Middle Eastern Army, captured Hera Province, and left fewer than thirty thousand of its two hundred thousand reserve troops alive.
• Magath concluded that the Far East’s power matched the young man’s predictions and ordered Marley’s navy to clear Light Harbor’s waters and troops to forcibly evacuate civilians along the route.
• A Marley soldier told Magath that the War Hammer Titan had disappeared.

Ivanor reported to Ebson after helping lure Yago to Scarlet Base, while privately showing disgust and regret over her deception. Ebson’s obsession with the power he believed would satisfy his resentment intensified, and the chapter ended with Eren and Zeke seeing Ymir standing beside the expanding Blood Lake in the Paths.

• Ivanor returned to Ebson, who praised her for helping lure Yago to Scarlet Base and ordered his people to bring Yago back.
• After leaving Ebson’s laboratory, Ivanor cursed him, worried that Aili-chan would blame her, and swallowed a hidden slip of paper.
