"Rest up for now!"
As Erwin's signal to halt the advance went up, the Scout Squad and Bai Yu's group stopped in front of a forest.
Bai Yu waved a hand.
"Enter the forest and start scouting!"
Six squads charged in first, while Bai Yu and the others waited on horseback. There probably weren't many Titans inside. At least, Ming hadn't sensed anything.
But just as that thought crossed his mind, a red flare shot into the sky, and several thunderous booms came from deep within the forest. Bai Yu was the first to rise, firing the Grappling Cables at his waist.
"Let's go!"
Gas propelled the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear behind them. Their Grappling Cables reeled in and their cloaks billowed as they flew into the forest, speeding toward the red flare.
Boom!
Golden light shot into the sky, and Bai Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Had Eren turned into a Titan?
Before long, they saw six Titans, each around ten meters tall, hauling at the limbs and torso of an enormous Titan. Four more Titans lay on the ground nearby.
A bloodstained Wings of Freedom cloak fluttered through the air. Bai Yu flashed past and caught it, his gaze lowering slightly.
The blood on it hadn't evaporated. It wasn't Titan blood.
But this wasn't the time to hesitate. He hung the cloak on a branch and looked down.
Eren struggled desperately as several Pure Titans gnawed at his body. Nearby, Mikasa and Armin had clearly exhausted the ammunition in their launchers.
Suddenly, Ming leaped down, pushing his Omni-Directional Mobility Gear to its maximum speed.
At the same time, a dark figure lunged toward Armin in midair. At the last possible instant, Ming swept Armin into his arms and pulled him clear, using his gas to change direction in midair
