"In this operation, we successfully captured the Colossal Titan, Bertolt Hoover, and the Female Titan, Annie Leonhart, who had been hiding within the walls. Not only have we obtained vital information about the world Outside the Walls, we now possess a powerful means of fighting back against it," Erwin said slowly.
"Commander Erwin, may I ask what this vital information is?" The representative sent by the Military Police Brigade did not dare make things difficult for the Survey Corps over their major achievement. After all, they had even captured the Colossal Titan.
"Humanity's enemy is not the Titans. Humanity's enemy is humanity," Erwin said evenly, his gaze sharpening.
Every member of the Military Police Brigade delegation felt their hair stand on end.
"It is time for humanity to advance into the unknown world." Erwin's commanding presence surged, leaving everyone momentarily awed.

"Annie... how could she be a Titan...? That's impossible..." Mina stared at Annie, encased in crystal, her pupils trembling. She still had not recovered from the shock.
"Mina... do you think Annie had some reason she couldn't tell us about...?" Historia asked, looking at Annie with anguish.
"I can't bite through this crystal. We'll have to wait until Chen Si wakes up," Sasha said after circling the crystal, wrapping her arms around it, and taking a few bites, breaking two teeth in the process.
"That's Bertolt." Connie spotted a man whose four limbs had been cut off being escorted into the dungeon in the distance. Annie was pushed inside after him.
