"but encountered an intelligent Female Titan. none of them knowing why." "who will?" "Another one's dead..." "And maybe we could've saved him!" "Choose." "Believe in yourself." "Or believe in the Survey Corps and me." "I'll go forward!" "Fire!" "He can't intend to take that Titan alive?" "Eren?" "See that?" "We caught that Titan!" "This is the power of the Survey Corps!" "fool." "Well?" "Do you get it now?" "Yes!" "Looks like it's stopped moving..." "We can't lower our guard." "leading it here." "Men in the rearguard squads died buying us the time we needed." "We couldn't have done it without them." "Is that so?" "It is." "we'll be able to see who's inside this thing." "I hope they haven't pissed themselves..." "Erwin Smith 57th Expedition Beyond the Walls (4)" "An Aberrant?" "Or is it like the Colossal Titan?" "Did Commander Erwin... snap out of it!" "think later." "We need to get farther in and stand by!" "Right!" "Levi..." "An eye for an eye." "fire!" "Fire the spare rounds!" "it's climbing up..." "Yeah." "I'll move out of the way." "But I don't think it will be long before they issue withdrawal orders." "Does that have something to do with the explosions we've been hearing deep within the forest?" "I don't know." "what do you think that sound is?" "Are they firing cannons in the forest?" "though." "It's really loud back there." "Bertolt..." "Do you know where Krista went?" "I don't know." "I have no idea what's going on." "What am I doing and why?" "I want to go home." "Armin." "Okay." "They've started to figure it out." "They seem to keep getting better and better at climbing." "they can learn." "I'm sure." "Armin..." "Sounds like something is going on deeper in the forest." "I think I have some idea what." "They lured that Female Titan all the way here in order to capture it." "More precisely..." "To capture whoever is inside of it." "That was Commander Erwin's goal..." "That was his plan from the very start!" "Right?" "I can see why he wouldn't have told the new troops." "But why wouldn't he tell you when you've all been with the Survey Corps for so long?" "Shut up!" "Are you saying the Commander and the Captain don't trust us?" "But that's what this means... rip out his teeth!" "Swap the front and back teeth when you shove 'em back in!" "Eren's right." "I think there was a reason the Commander couldn't trust us." "Like what?" "There's only one reason he wouldn't trust his fellow soldiers. in the Survey Corps." "right?" "It has to be one of us." "I think so." "A spy?" "Is that possible?" "the Commander is certain." "I'd imagine the only soldiers who were told of the plan were those who've stayed alive for the past five years." "I see..." "So that's it." "Must be." "Eren?" "That's why." "I understand. a spy infiltrated our ranks..." "And that's how he narrowed down the possibilities." "the spy killed Sonny and Bean?" "the Commander asked me about that." "What do you see?" "308)}What do you think the enemy is?" "That's what the question meant? maybe we could've participated in this plan." "though." "I knew." "But I didn't say anything." "Do you know why?" "Why?" "you can't tell?" "I shouldn't expect that much from the likes of you." "You have yet to reach my level." "are you copying Captain Levi again?" "The Captain wouldn't say anything like that." "I can get closer to the truth of this world." "regardless." "Do you think the Commander was wrong?" "I can't say he was right. we would've dealt with this in a different way." "too." "it wasn't wrong." "What wasn't wrong?" "How many do you think died for no reason?" ""We should've done something else. no one knows how things will turn out." "you have to make a choice." "You must." "The lives of a hundred fellow soldiers..." "Or the lives of all the humans within the walls..." "The Commander made his choice." "He chose to let those hundred die. but you will soon. the Survey Corps." "Just look at how much Captain Levi trusts him!" "If you live that long... but I'm certain of one thing. it will be someone willing to sacrifice what they care for." "It will be someone who can throw aside in order to defeat monsters." "Someone who can't sacrifice anything can't ever change anything!" "Information We Can Share So Far:" "Special Target Capture Weapon (1) A newly developed weapon the Survey Corps created to capture a specific Titan." "Information We Can Share So Far:" "each of which has coiled wires with arrowheads at both ends." "Fire!" "How do you like that?" "You won't even be able to scratch an itch now." "You won't be able to make a single move." "Probably for the rest of your life. the more immobilized your joints become!" "But they still can't draw out whoever is inside?" "What are Levi and Mike doing?" "It can selectively harden its skin to protect specific parts of its body?" "It's similar to what I've heard of the Armored Titan." "will it weaken?" "We don't have time to find out." "In that case... sir?" "Prepare the explosives." "Blow off its hands." "sir..." "But there's a chance that the amount we carry has enough firepower to also blow up what's inside." "Then set them to amputate the wrists." "Set them all off at once at my signal." "Roger." "Hey..." "Why not just come out?" "We don't have time to waste." "So..." "What do you think will happen to you now?" "Do you believe you can escape?" "I wish you'd consider all the trouble we're going through... you killed my troops in various ways." "Did you find it fun?" "I'm having fun." "right?" "I think you can understand me." "right..." "I wanted to ask you something." "Is it okay if we cut off your hands and legs?" "right?" "not the Titan's." "after all... that was a surprise." "Were those her dying screams?" "it stinks." "What direction?" "from all directions at once." "What's up with them?" "They're all running into the forest?" "Why did they suddenly start ignoring us?" "What?" "They're all Aberrants?" "It doesn't matter!" "Don't let them through!" "Begin combat!" "What just happened?" "Wait..." "I've heard that scream before." "In the forests where I'm from..." "It's the cry of a cornered animal that has nothing to lose!" "I was taught to exercise greater caution once a hunt drew to a close!" "So be careful?" "A hundred times more than usual!" "you'll die!" "too." "Someone who grew crops wouldn't understand!" "I see." "It's true that Sasha's intuition is usually good." "Especially when she predicts things are going sour." "toward the rear... now!" "Erwin..." "The first wave will come from the east." "They're almost here." "intercept!" "They ignored us?" "Are they Aberrants?" "Three are breaking through!" "Captain Levi!" "bitch?" "So they're after the Female Titan?" "Titans from all directions!" "engage." "even if it means your lives!" "It's no use!" "men!" "Back into formation!" "Return to Karanes!" "We've been had." "Just look at you." "Don't tell me..." "The enemy was willing to sacrifice everything." "I didn't expect the enemy to destroy itself along with the evidence by making Titans devour itself." "and this is what happens." "who knows what will happen to Eren or us." "We can think about that after we return." "Our priority now is getting home without additional casualties." "For now..." "The steam from the corpse is limiting visibility." "It could interfere with our signal flare message relay system." "I'll call my team." "Levi..." "Refill your gas and blades." "There isn't time." "I think I have plenty." "Why?" "That's an order." "Follow it." "Erwin." "I trust your decision." "We're retreating." "retreat." "and retreat." "Right!" "What?" "It's already over?" "We can go home!" "All right!" "What's going on?" "Where's Eren?" "Looks like it's over." "Back to the horses!" "Prepare to retreat!" "You heard the man..." "Let's go see what the bastard inside looks like." "Will we really find out who it is?" "It's thanks to you." "I didn't really do anything." "You had faith in us." "This is the result of your choice to trust us back then." "Making the right choice isn't easy." "Petra... anyway?" "He was pathetic." "He just kept whining." "coming back alive on your first excursion is pretty good." "But it doesn't count until the mission's over." "the expedition lasts until you're at home in bed..." "I know that!" "Oluo!" "Petra!" "You guys pissed your pants and cried on your first mission." "You're all grown up now!" "Don't say that!" "What if he stops respecting me?" "!" "It's true?" "It sure is." "Eren." "Idiot!" "I've killed more of them than you!" "idiot!" "Kill count isn't all that makes a soldier." "idiot!" "Petra..." "Does that mean you sprayed it everywhere while mid-air?" "Shut up!" "Do you think you're on a picnic?" "We're outside the walls!" "Eren." "I'm sure that's the signal from Captain Levi." "We'll rendezvous with the Captain!" "Cut the chatter till we get back." "Erwin..." "Why did you order Levi to resupply?" "There's no time to waste." "The Female Titan was eaten." "But did you see the person inside get eaten?" "I didn't." "You can't mean..." "Yes... and they can still move to a degree after regaining human form..." "And if they'd prepared Maneuver Gear in advance..." "The one within the Female Titan is wearing our uniform right now." "Captain Levi?" "it's not!" "Who are you?" "!" "G-Gunther!" "What?" "Why?" "Gunther!" "The enemy is now camouflaged as one of our men." "The capture operation has failed." "The Female Titan appears before Eren once more." "What stands between it and its target the Special Ops Squad." "Crushing Blow 57th Expedition Beyond the Walls (5)"
