What were you doing before the end of the world? Are you going to be an assassin?

In addition to [Eagle Vision], we can see that the supply station is surrounded by giants, and guess that there may be survivors inside.

"what!"

The instinct developed during training drove him to stand up.

"Report! It is said that he has lost his fighting consciousness!"

Seeing that Connor did not stop them, Jean became a little bolder and complained, "Although I can understand their feelings, they shouldn't give up the task of supplying us and hide in the supply station, right? Now the giants are really gathered in a pile, and we can't replenish the gas..."

"Let's go! Isn't it the same if we gather here? The giants will gather here too!" Connie and Krista each held Mina's arms. "If we just run away, we will just use up the little compressed gas left. Once we lose our mobility, we will be really finished!"

"It's rare for you to use your brain, Connie, but do you think that with our current combat power, we can..."

Bang.

Connor's fist hit Jean's chest.

The blow was not heavy, and it was exactly the same as the gesture of the soldiers offering their hearts.

Rang's complaints were immediately suppressed by the solemn and murderous aura that rushed towards him.

"You lose only when you admit defeat. Soldier, put away your defeatist face."

Connor drew out his two swords, and Wings of Freedom turned his back to all the trainees.

"Follow the wings of freedom and give your heart!"

"I will carve out a path for you to move forward."

13. Even if it costs you your life, you must save your life

"New recruits, keep your formation! Remember, our goal is to win the battle quickly and break into the headquarters before the gas runs out!"

"If you don't have the will to sacrifice, you won't even be able to get close to the supply station! No matter who runs out of gas, falls, or is eaten by a giant, even if it includes me, you must continue to move towards the supply station. Only when you reach the supply station can you survive!"

"No matter who you are, you must understand why you are risking your life, otherwise you will hesitate when the critical moment comes!"

"Give me your heart this time!"

Go ahead, go ahead!

After [Regrouping], Connor was full of energy and didn't care whether the sound would attract more giants. He was cheering for the new recruits from beginning to end.

The trainees were not actually lacking in courage, but they were frightened by the sudden surge in casualties and the fear of running out of gas.

The Wings of Liberty, with its back to everyone, gave the recruits' timid hearts the strength to pump out blood again.

What's more, as Connor said, if we don't try our luck to retake the supply station, we really have no chance of survival.

"Senior, the training corps didn't teach us to let our companions fight alone!"

After being hit on the heart, Jean felt surrounded by a great sense of mission at that moment, and even had the idea of joining the Survey Corps immediately.

"If the gas runs out, you'll really die. Are you really going to become losers?!"

After all, he was still a teenager. With his blood boiling, he yelled at the other trainees standing on the roof. Then he drew out his own double swords and followed the Wings of Freedom fluttering in the wind in front of him to activate the three-dimensional maneuvering device.

Connie and the others, who had already established trust in Connor and had witnessed how Connor easily defeated the abnormal species and saved an unconscious companion, immediately followed. Sasha and Ymir took Mina, who was still unable to move freely, from Krista and flew into the air in the center of the formation of several male trainees.

"As expected of the Survey Corps that protects humanity and defeats Titans... That's great..." Reiner subconsciously clenched his fists as he watched Connor freely moving between buildings and slashing two Pure Titans along the way.

Is he a warrior from Marley who fights against the demons on the island, or is he a soldier who protects the humans on the island?

A warrior? A soldier? What am I? Reiner was temporarily in a state of conflict between himself and himself. The normal life of the people on the island had a huge impact on his worldview.

The determination of the only Wing of Freedom to turn its back on the trainees and fight the Titans alone, declaring that it would open up a path forward on its own, moved more than one person.

"Why think so much? Let's follow." Yani urged the gas and stood behind Mina. Her good friend had escaped death. Even if Yani had other tasks, she didn't want to see her friend who could talk to her die here.

"Hey! Annie!" Seeing that Annie moved first, Bertolt had to follow.

"Armin, it's time to go." Reiner didn't know what he was thinking. Just as he was about to shoot out the anchor cable, he saw Armin standing there motionless. He walked over and without saying a word, clamped the dazed Armin under his armpits, and used the power of the anchor cable to catch up with the main force.

"Eh...eh? Reiner?!" Bertolt and Annie were surprised. What happened to Reiner? Was he still the Marleyan warrior who would rather strangle Annie's neck than threaten them to complete the mission when the mission was on the verge of failure, and who broke through the wall and indirectly caused most of the people in Wall Maria to die in the giant's mouth?

"Soldiers... who would abandon their companions? Let that guy say something manly sometimes. Let's go, Bertolt, Annie, let's follow!"

There were about twenty or thirty trainees gathered on a nearby rooftop.

As more and more people began to take action, the new recruits who were frightened by the giants also chose to follow the Wings of Liberty.

Are they all catching up? Connor, who was at the front, looked at the extra people behind him and continued to fly forward with satisfaction. As long as he could take them to the supply station to complete the gas supply and then send them to the safe wall, the mission would be completed.

Connor's [Eagle Vision] is updating the route plan at any time. With so many people, he can't just rush in alone without caring about anything as originally planned.

With the three-dimensional maneuvering device, there is no need to take a detour like on the ground. The only thing to worry about is the giants that appear on the route ahead, as well as inside and outside the supply station.

The third giant!

Avoiding the hot blood splashing from the giant, Connor's experience value has risen to level 1 (65/200).

With him clearing the way ahead and eliminating the giants entrenched on the path, the pressure on the trainees in the rear was suddenly reduced. They only needed to be careful to see if there were any strange creatures suddenly invading from the left or right.

Whoosh whoosh—

The weird one is coming?

Connor narrowed his eyes and saw a small spinning top approaching rapidly at the edge of his Eagle Vision. It soon flew to the left of the forward of the formation where Connor was.

The small gyroscope completely ignored the loss of compressed gas, and the anchor cable became almost a decoration. It only relied on the jet of air to obtain an extremely high speed, spinning and jumping back and forth between several giants.

Every spinning slash can cut off a piece of flesh from the back of the giant's neck!

"Mikasa!"

Jean, who was following not far behind Connor, immediately recognized who Beyblade was - Mikasa Ackerman, the chief of the 104th trainees and a person with powerful fighting ability!

Allen is dead... Does that mean I have a chance? Rang shook his head quickly. Why am I still thinking about love affairs at this hour? If I don't try my best to survive, won't I be the same as Allen, that idiot!

"Trainer Mikasa! Calm down and get into formation! You'll run out of gas fast if you do that!"

Connor glanced at Mikasa, who had not yet turned into the look she had in the final chapter.

If Mikasa was told at this time that Eren was eaten by the Titan, her fighting spirit would collapse immediately.

If the Titan transformed by Eren had not arrived in time, Mikasa would have died in the streets of Trost District due to exhaustion of compressed gas and blades, just like other ordinary trainees who died at the hands of Titans.

Since Eren will definitely come back, he might as well use Ackerman's fighting power to help him bring all the new recruits to the supply station. After the supply, he can use [Eagle Vision] to help Mikasa find the different giant after Eren's transformation as soon as possible.

But Mikasa is different from other trainees who are easily instigated by Connor to fight for their lives.

She seemed to care about only Alan.

Mikasa stopped on a nearby rooftop, her heart beating fast, the ominous feeling that kept bothering her.

There are so many trainees here, and people from the same period as them are all here, so Alan must be here too, right?

Where's Alan... Where's Alan?

Mikasa's panicked eyes swept over the trainees in the formation, and finally found Armin in Reiner's hands at the end of the team.

"Armin!"

14. Give up fantasy and keep fighting

"Armin!"

Mikasa was about to rush into the formation in a panic, but her anchor cables had already flown out. A sharp anchor cable came out from the side and knocked her anchor down, and another anchor cable was nailed to the wall in front of her.

Stone chips flew everywhere, and Mikasa narrowed her eyes subconsciously.

The anchor cable came from Connor. Under the puzzled gazes of the recruits, Connor raised his hand to signal everyone to take a short break before the last leg of the journey. He then followed the power of the anchor cable to come in front of Mikasa.

The surrounding giants were defeated by him and Mikasa, and they were safe for the time being.

The confrontation between the two made Jean and Connie, who were still maintaining their formation after landing, break out in cold sweats.

One was the Survey Corps who led them to fight, and the other was the top trainee of the same period. If it weren't for the trust they had built up before, they would probably have thought that Connor would kill Mikasa here.

"Calm down!"

If you rush into the formation of a 3D maneuvering device, especially into the formation of a group of frightened rookies, you will cause a 3D maneuvering accident if you are not careful. Especially because Mikasa was in a hurry, she did not consider that the direction of the anchor cable blocked the route of other people's 3D maneuvers.

"Trainer Mikasa, Eren is currently missing. I only found Armin and Mina who were in the same class with him. Now I need you to help me protect everyone into the supply station. After refilling the gas, we can go find Eren together. There may be more trainees trapped on the ground because the supply station was lost."

For the sake of his own protection mission and the lives of the trainees behind him who were grasping at the life-saving straw, Connor needed the help of Ackerman, so he chose to tell the truth, but only part of it.

Even if Mikasa might look at him with murderous eyes after knowing the truth, by then he will find Eren in the form of a giant and Mikasa will not be in the mood to confront him.

Holding [Disappear] in his hand, Connor was ready to prevent Mikasa from suddenly attacking.

"But... Eren, Armin..." Mikasa didn't allow her to ask Armin, as her eyes now had a gloomy look.

"Ah, that's right. Armin and Mina were both a little stimulated. Let them rest at the supply station and then you can answer questions."

Inspired by Connor, he gave Reiner a look and concealed the secret, and secretly kicked Connie to prevent him from revealing the truth.

"Yes, yes, that's right. I'm strong enough to carry Armin flying." Reiner understood Jean's eyes and echoed.

Mikasa was skeptical. Armin and Mina from Eren's team were here. Maybe that reckless Eren really ran out of gas and was trapped somewhere?

That's too dangerous! I have to go find Alan right away...

Mikasa wanted to leave the team and search for Eren alone, but Connor gently tapped the gas tank on Mikasa's leg.

"Are you planning to use this little bit of gas to find Alan? Be careful that the gas runs out halfway and Alan won't be able to find you." Connor changed the subject and continued to hint at the possibility that Alan was still alive.

"Even if you say so..." Mikasa's expression softened.

She had already consumed a lot of resources when she was in the rear guard department. After all the people were evacuated, she hurried to the vanguard department to look for Eren. During the process, she also killed several giants. The supply problem was also something she had to face.

Mikasa managed to regain her composure despite the possibility that Eren might still be alive, even though she might have guessed that there was something fishy going on. However, when her eyes occasionally swept over the trainees, the few people who knew about it would subconsciously avoid them.

"Then what should I do? I'm strong, stronger than all of them! I can defeat that giant over there by myself, please use my abilities as much as you want!"

Mikasa suppressed the distracting thoughts in her mind and the most urgent thing was to seize every moment to rush into the supply station.

Connor breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better for everyone if they could see the truth but not say it out loud.

There was an Ackerman gyroscope to help Connor share the pressure on the flanks, and with his [Eagle Eye Vision] he could always detect the movements of the giants in advance, the group of people broke into the second floor of the supply station without any danger.

No one was eaten, and no one was sacrificed.

"Luckily! The gas ran out just as I came in!" Connie thanked him. He even relied on inertia to crash in for the last short distance.

"Me too! I'm so lucky!" Sasha and Ymir carried Mina on their backs, which consumed more gas. After breaking into the supply station, everyone felt an unreal feeling when they stepped on the floor.

"Wow, why are there still people here?!"

The one who broke in through the window didn't control his strength well, and rolled several times on the floor of the second floor of the supply station. When he got up, he happened to meet the eyes of a person under the table.

He was startled, and then became uncontrollably angry.

"You...are the supply team, right?"

The two people under the table nodded silently.

Ran suddenly became even angrier. He grabbed the collars of the two men and dragged them outside. "It was these guys who abandoned us! It's all because of you that others died in vain!"

Once the supply station was lost, both the advance team and the vanguard and center guard lost their ability to sustain.

"But... the giants have entered the supply station, and we really have no idea what to do!!" The two surviving supply soldiers were about to collapse. The elite troops were transferred to the rear to assist in defense. The combat effectiveness of their supply squad was limited, and there was no way to stop a large group of 3-meter-level giants from breaking into the room.

"Isn't it your job to come up with a solution in this situation..."

"Okay, let's go."

Connor interrupted the frightened and angry Jean and said, "Shut up first. Now is not the time to assign blame. Even if someone is to be held responsible, it should be the advance team that failed to hold out longer."

"This is not the same thing..." Rang wanted to refute. The mission of the advance team was to delay the actions of the giants to buy time for the rear, and the mission of the supply team was to deliver supplies. One completed the mission and the other did not. How could this be called the same thing?

However, Connor did not listen to Rang's reasons. He just threw Rang out with the force and rolled behind the table, not forgetting to pull up two supply squad soldiers whose limbs were weak.

boom--

Just where they broke in through the window, the 15-meter-tall giant slammed into the wall, creating a huge hole.

He staggered to his feet, still in shock. If he hadn't been thrown out by Connor, he would have been eaten by the giant or buried by the collapsed wall, and would have died.

"Hey... the noise is too loud. The giants are gathering here."

Connor shook the dust off his cloak, picked up an angular brick from the ground and smashed it hard into the giant's eyes.
