"In the year 845... along with the life we'd known. to retreat within Wall Rose." "And in the year 850..." "The Colossal Titan reappeared and breached the wall." "humanity could not stop a Titan invasion." "before the Titan assault." "And then..." "Eren!" "Hurry! emerging from a mysterious Titan." "Attention! and decided to execute an audacious plan." "pick up the giant boulder and seal the hole. humanity will have retaken its territory from them for the very first time." "that step will be a great advance in our attack on the Titans!" "the mission already seems to be on the brink of failure..." "Wound The Battle for Trost (8)" "We've somehow managed to lure most of the Titans to the town's edge... we've lost around twenty percent of our troops." "We didn't lose them." "Those soldiers didn't die on their own." "They died due to my orders." "This battle will decide humanity's survival." "I am willing to be called a murderer." "Ackerman!" "stop!" "Get away from him!" "don't you know who I am?" "Mikasa!" "Your family!" "You must use that boulder to seal the hole!" "The mission has failed." "I knew there wasn't any secret weapon." "you're human!" "You're..." "Ackerman!" "What the?" "He's just like any other stupid Titan!" "Eren!" "Captain Ian!" "Two Titans approaching from the front!" "A 10-meter and a 6-meter class." "as well!" "One 12-meter class coming this way!" "we must retreat!" "Look at him!" "No way is that hole getting sealed!" "Yeah..." "We have no choice but to leave him here." "Red smoke round from the elite force sighted." "A serious problem has happened during the mission." "We're dying for no reason." "My friends died for nothing!" "Hey!" "Look at that!" "What?" "What is that?" "It... failed?" "Why?" "Armin!" "Where are you going? we should recall them to defend the gate." "Shall I do it?" "No." "Shouldn't we order the elite force to retreat?" "No." "Continue drawing the Titans to the edge of town." "The elite force has full tactical discretion." "They are not simply excellent soldiers." "entrusted with humanity's fate." "For them to give up so easily would be unimaginable." "They'll fight to the end..." "So the deaths of the fallen will not have been in vain." "what's wrong?" "Give the order!" "it wasn't your fault!" "The plan was always a long shot." "Everyone knew that." "and we took our best shot!" "Come on!" "Our squads will climb the walls." "Wait!" "Wait..." "Ackerman." "your squad will handle the 12-meter Titan behind us." "Mitabi's squad and mine will take the two in front." "What?" "I'm the one they left in charge!" "Shut up and follow your orders!" "We can't leave Jaeger defenseless." "I'm changing the plan." "We protect Jaeger from the Titans until we can retrieve him." "He's still valuable as one of humanity's last hopes." "We cannot just abandon him like this." "but he can't be." "The failure of that dysfunctional human weapon has already cost several hundred lives!" "so this can happen again?" "That's right." "regardless of the cost in lives!" "What happened to Eren?" "Armin's headed there by himself." "He's probably all right." "Probably?" "He's fine." "I'm sure of it." "Eren can do this." "I think luring the Titans to the town's edge is useless." "Any fight with Titans is a war of attrition." "they want to avoid the needless loss of troops." "Then anyone who doesn't make it now will have died for nothing?" "it will become an all-out war." "we must preserve our forces." "It's obvious that we should minimize casualties." "The brass made the right call." "huh?" "It is!" "Anyway..." "Let's both ensure that we don't end up as casualties." "are you serious?" "How else should humanity defeat the Titans?" "tell me!" "Is there any other way to get ourselves out of this mess? without more deaths?" "!" "How can we counter the Titans' overwhelming advantage over us?" "As if I'd know of a way to defeat them!" "That's right... this is all we can and should do." "We must be willing to sacrifice our lives and do our best for that incomprehensible human weapon." "isn't it?" "it's all we can do." "what will you do?" "This is the only battle we can fight." "This is the struggle we've been allowed to engage." "I can't accept that." "Riko!" "I'll obey the order." "I think what you're saying is right." "we'll also show them how terrifying humans can be." "I refuse to die for nothing." "Leave the 12-meter class behind us to my squad." "Let's go." "Our target will be the two in the front." "Yeah." "Captain Ian." "there's no need to thank me." "I was terrified because there's no telling what you'll do." "just as in the original plan." "That will be a more efficient use of your abilities." "sir." "You have to protect your boyfriend." "We're family." "What?" "The damaged parts aren't regenerating?" "Is it due to the earlier damage he took?" "What will that do to Eren?" "And is there any guarantee he can regain human form?" "stop this." "I will not be able to find answers to these questions." "I'll just do what I can." "Eren..." "Mikasa!" "What happened?" "Information We Can Share So Far:" "but heavily taxes the muscles." "Information We Can Share So Far:" "anyone who dies during training would be unable to fight Titans anyway." "What?" "What... am I doing now?" "Am I sitting?" "I can't see a thing." "What day is it?" "Where am I?" "Hmm?" "I'm at home?" "I'll go back to sleep." "Eren!" "Eren?" "Listen up." "You just need to keep the Titans in the corner of the city." "and draw them there." "Got it?" "You don't need to fight." "form groups of three and run along the ground." "jump up." "Don't get killed." "we'll take care of them." "If"?" "Isn't it more of a "when" than an "if"?" "can we deviate from our orders?" "If you believe it'll help." "go!" "Right!" "This is bad!" "Behind us!" "One 13-meter class!" "It's approaching Jaeger!" "More Titans coming through the hole!" "approximately 10-meter class!" "take the one behind us!" "Got it." "Don't let it near Jaeger!" "We'll stop them here!" "Right!" "two squads can't handle four at once..." "No..." "Why are there so many Titans?" "There aren't too many people there." "Could Eren be drawing them?" "Mikasa!" "What happened to the plan?" "Armin!" "What happened to Eren?" "It's dangerous!" "Move back!" "Eren is completely unable to enact his will through that Titan!" "but it didn't recognize me!" "There's no point in anyone else trying!" "What about the plan?" "It failed." "Everyone's fighting because we can't leave Eren." "But there are too many... they'll wipe us out. ten centimeters across and a meter high." "Armin!" "I'll get Eren out of here!" "You protect us from any Titans!" "What are you saying?" "Eren came out of the Titan's vital point." "It's probably related to the mystery behind them." "Don't worry. he won't die." "It'll just hurt... a tiny bit!" "Armin... that's insane!" "Stop!" "do what you can!" "some lives might be saved!" "Leave Eren to me!" "can you hear me?" "Come to your senses!" "we'll all die!" "Don't let the Titan's body take over!" "now!" "Come out?" "Why?" "I'm tired..." "Eren!" "Get out of there!" "Hurry!" "Eren!" "Eren!" "What happened to avenging your mother?" "Aren't you going to wipe out the Titans?" "Don't you hate the things that killed your mother?" "Armin?" "Mom's right here..." "Eren!" "Eren!" "Eren!" "aren't you?" "the Titans will kill us!" "Everything will end here!" "Like I said..." "Armin." "Why do I have to leave?" "Yeah..." "Why would I want to leave?" "Why would I want to join the Survey Corps?" "like it or not." "Gotcha!" "bastard?" "Fall back for now!" "I'm here." "I'll join up with Mitabi's squad." "What?" "!" "Jean!" "Hurry!" "Go!" "I won't let anyone else die because of me!" "at a time like this?" "Jean!" "What's wrong?" "Why isn't he using his Maneuver Gear?" "No way..." "Is it broken?" "I'll come up with something!" "Damn it." "Why am I the one slowing us down?" "Can I really come up with something?" "Eren..." "Eren!" "Eren!" "Eren!" "right?" "Far beyond these walls is flaming water!" "Frozen earth!" "Snow-white plains of sand!" "The world my mom and dad tried to see..." "I thought maybe you'd forgotten." "But the reason you stopped mentioning it right?" "The outside world?" "Eren..." "Answer me!" "You knew that hell was one step beyond the walls." "like my mom and dad did." "So why did you want to go?" "Why?" "You know why." "Because I was born into this world!" "Go." "Run." "Live. as many lives are lost on the battlefield." "carrying hope with him." "Primal Desires The Battle for Trost (9)"
