The entire group was unusually calm at the moment. The Survey Corps members glanced at Iruma, then quickly looked away.
They didn't know what a real battle was like, but seeing the horrific scene, they couldn't help but admire Iruma.
Compared to those hypocrites and officials hiding inside the city walls, only Iruma and his men were truly willing to risk their lives.
And Iruma's words still resonate in their hearts.
As long as victory can be achieved, then any means necessary are acceptable.
Even if it means death, I'm willing to risk it!
This is why so many people join the Survey Corps; most of them join because of Iruma.
Compared to Erwin, he's more like the heart of the team.
After a long time, the group finally returned to the city before sunset.
"Clang clang clang!"
The heavy tolling of the bell echoed throughout the city, and all the people who were still working looked up at the bell tower.
The children wandering through the alley stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with surprise.
"The Survey Corps is back!"
"Hurry, hurry! They're back!"
"Let's hurry and go check out the city gate!"
Meanwhile, the city gate was already crowded with people, and the city wall slowly opened under their watchful eyes.
"What the hell? They're back so quickly?"
"I'm afraid quite a few people have died this time."
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the Survey Corps members entered the city. When everyone saw so many members return safely, they all wore expressions of disbelief.
"So many people survived this time?!"
"It's completely incomparable to what it used to be!"
Despite the shocked looks from the crowd, the Survey Corps members did not become dejected; instead, they all looked radiant.
After all, this exploration did indeed play a significant role.
Although they didn't play a significant role, Iruma's contribution was substantial enough, and that's sufficient.
Mina leaned closer to Iruma and whispered, "Ellen, are we sure it's okay that we're back so soon?"
Iruma, who was still in a dream, was awakened and slowly opened his eyes.
Meanwhile, Mikasa, who was holding him, was staring coldly at Mina, looking as if she were stealing the spotlight.
"Ah, of course, no problem." Iruma rubbed his neck and sat up, stretching casually.
"After all, our main objective this time was to explore the area outside the city. Although we haven't determined a fixed route, we have already made some significant discoveries."
"That female giant is the most important discovery, far more important than the intelligence we obtained from our exploration route."
Irwin turned around to listen to him speak, choosing to remain silent throughout.
Although nearly ten people died this time, it was nothing compared to the previous losses of the Survey Corps.
In particular, the squad led by Iruma returned completely unharmed.
This is the second one besides Levi's squad.
Petra's father, seeing her return safely, quickly went to her side: "You weren't hurt during your investigation, Petra, were you?"
Petra smiled and shook her head: "Father, you were not injured at all. This investigation can be considered a great success."
"With Eren Yeager and Captain Levi around, our safety is very well guaranteed."
"That's fine, just make sure nothing dangerous happens."
Iruma, leaning against the carriage, smiled calmly and then said, "Commander Erwin."
"What's wrong?" Erwin, who was in the lead, slowed down when he heard the call. "Is there something you need, Allen?"
"Pretty much. This time, let all Survey Corps members rest for a while. We need to revise the plan."
“Hmm.” Erwin nodded. “I had a similar idea, but we still need to send out a small team.”
"They'll all die." Iruma's voice was unusually cold.
This silenced Erwin; he could tell from the other person's tone that there was certainty and a more serious refusal.
"Why do you say that?"
"This is just my gut feeling. You can believe it or not, but it's best not to send any more troops outside the city. Something big is about to happen..."
Irwin quickened his horse's pace and returned to the front of the column.
Faced with this situation, Mina asked somewhat helplessly, "Did things get really bad?"
"No, it's just that Commander Erwin is also thinking about it. After all, he's not a reckless person."
Iruma silently observed the gazes of those around him, his eyes unusually calm.
Compared to the Female Titan's single hardening ability, Zeke Yeager, the Beast Titan who is Eren's brother, is more valuable to be plundered.
At least for Zeke, his existence is truly useless to Iruma, and the same goes for Reiner and the others; they have absolutely no value in existing.
Unlike Ani, who could at least be considered a lover, the simplest solution for the remaining group was to kill them all.
Soon, everyone returned to the Survey Corps headquarters to rest and prepare. Iruma jumped off the carriage, his eyes scanning the crowd.
He keenly spotted Ani standing in the crowd, watching them intently without making any other movements.
Iruma turned to look at Mikasa and the others: "You guys go back and rest first, I still have things to take care of."
Upon hearing this, Mikasa quickly said, "I'll go with you, Eren."
"It's alright, Mikasa. You can rest well at headquarters for now."
Iruma quickly walked out of the Survey Corps and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
Seeing how fast the other party was moving, Mikasa had some doubts, but she didn't think about it too much. Instead, she returned to her room with Mina and the others.
In the square, Iruma and Ani sat next to the huge statue.
Ani leaned on Iruma's shoulder: "I'm sorry, I've made you cover for me."
"What kind of apology is this? There's no need for an apology at all. It wasn't even a big deal to begin with."
"But it was you. Did you encounter any trouble on your way back?"
When asked, Ani shook her head: "No, they didn't care about my disappearance. They just thought I was sleeping in."
"Hehe, sleeping in late." Iruma chuckled softly. "I still can't imagine what you look like when you sleep in late."
"After all, he always has a serious expression on his face."
The survivors of Chapter 550 Village
Two weeks later, Iruma stood atop the castle wall, looking down at the city below.
Annie piloted the 3D Maneuver Gear to the city wall, watching his retreating figure, and said, "They've begun their operation."
"I'm sorry, I can't help you, Allen."
Iruma turned around and smiled at her: "It's alright, just leave the rest to me."
"You just need to stay in the city. I think it won't be long before you can return to your homeland and see your father."
Faced with Iruma's gentleness, Annie nodded: "And you, Eren, will you be with me?"
This wasn't the first time she'd brought it up in front of Iruma, or rather, whenever Ani had time, she'd find him and mention leaving.
Iruma gave the same answer as before, thus rejecting the other party's request.
"Clang clang clang!"
The city bells rang, this time the loud sound seemed to be filled with endless hope, and Iruma leaped off the city wall.
He ran quickly across the city wall, making his way back to the Survey Corps.
Sasha, Connie, and the others had been waiting for a long time. They were riding horses and, although they weren't wearing team uniforms, they were all wearing 3D Maneuver Gear.
Iruma plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground. He looked at the crowd and asked, "Are you all ready?"
"Ready!"
Iruma looked at Sasha: "That's good. Everyone, disperse according to your respective teams. Sasha, I'll go to the destination with you."
"Yes, Captain Eren!"
This mission was initiated by Iruma in front of Erwin, to bring all the Survey Corps members' families back to the city, or at the very least, to rebuild the village near the city walls.
In the past two weeks, the Beast Titan has caused them a lot of trouble, but the Survey Corps has not been able to find any trace of it.
They even lost a lot of soldiers.
Under these circumstances, Iruma immediately halted the investigation and began to adopt a more cautious tactic.
