Chapter 160: Chapter 20: Deception (4th Update, Bonus Update for Monthly Votes)

Armin looked at the people present, these were big shots he usually wouldn’t see.

He turned to glance at Eren and Mikasa, both of their eyes were calm, trusting Armin completely. For some reason, Armin suddenly felt like crying.

Eren nodded at Armin, signaling him to speak.

Armin took a deep breath, straightening his chest and lifting his head, maintaining a confident posture.

Looking directly at the few in front of him, Armin saluted with marked military etiquette, forcefully pounding his fist against his chest.

”Fellow Corps Leaders and Commander, I have something to say, on behalf of Eren Yeager. We are childhood friends who grew up together, if he poses a threat to humans, then I am equally suspicious.”

Darius Zachary frowned, looking somewhat displeased, it should be Eren himself speaking, not someone else for him.

But recalling Eren’s chaotic thoughts and disjointed words, plus Eren’s near-critical physical state, Darius Zachary finally nodded.

”Eren Yeager, can he represent your will?”

”Yes.”

Eren’s answer was straightforward and unhesitant, Darius Zachary said nothing more.

Organizing his thoughts, Armin began,

”We are soldiers who have long sworn to dedicate our hearts to the revival of humanity, if we can offer our lives for this, we wouldn’t hesitate or complain.

However, if we could combine our current military forces with Eren Yeager’s Power of Giant, even reclaiming the entire city isn’t impossible.

Once Eren Yeager transforms into a Giant, he reaches fifteen meters in level, based on the power he has previously displayed, lifting a giant stone in the town is well within his capacity.

So even if we are to die today, for the sake of humanity’s honor, let us fall in battle with glory!”

Armin made the above statement by shouting, straightforward yet impactful.

Even Darius Zachary wasn’t unmoved, not to mention the loafers of the Military Police Regiment, whose families were within the Wall of Rossa.

Su Xiao smiled at Armin, this young man had great speech skills, and becoming a leader of the Survey Corps in the future was not impossible.

”What a brilliant statement, Eren Yeager, this is your intent, isn’t it?”

Darius Zachary clenched his fists, willing to take some risks if they could reclaim the Wall of Rossa. Once it is completely breached, humans would lose a large tract of land. Within a week, the human population would decrease by at least 80%, and cannibalism would become normal.

Child-eating isn’t just a metaphor, in times of famine, it’s merely meat in the pot.

”Survey Corps Leader Erwin Smith, I now order you to use Eren Yeager’s Power of Giant to reclaim the Wall of Rossa, can you do it?”

Darius Zachary’s aura was extremely imposing at this moment.

”Whether it can be done is unclear, but before the Survey Corps is completely annihilated, this is the Survey Corps’ mission.”

”Good!”

Darius Zachary’s gaze turned to Su Xiao.

”Soldier Bai Ye, if Eren Yeager betrays humanity after becoming a Giant, can you decisively take him out immediately?”

”No problem, I pulled him out of a Giant before, killing him would be even easier.”

Su Xiao’s clear answer gave Darius Zachary more confidence in the upcoming action.

”But now there are three breaches, should we first block the already-defended breach or the breached one?”

Darius Zachary hesitated; blocking the defended breach is faster and would expedite securing the Wall of Rossa. However, the already-breached passage is also urgent, though blocking it is more difficult due to Giants’ obstruction.

The most crucial moment arrived; if Su Xiao didn’t say something now, he might end up doing the wedding dress for others.

”Commander, I was the one guarding the already-breached passage before, but due to mass evacuations, the breach eventually fell.

That breach is very unusual; compared to the other two, it’s larger, and cracks have appeared on the walls inside. If a support point isn’t quickly established, the surrounding walls might collapse.”

This heavyweight message from Su Xiao stunned everyone around. What does a wall collapse mean? If a collapse at the breach leads to a total collapse of the wall, humanity would be doomed.

”Is the information accurate?”

”Accurate, I personally inspected the inner wall of the breach: one crack around fifty centimeters, four at thirty centimeters, and twenty at ten centimeters.”

There would indeed be cracks in the breach; Su Xiao believes all three breaches have them, but he was the only one who personally guarded the breach front here.

Although Hanji Zoe was also on the front line, she fought using the Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear; the possibility of inspecting the inner wall of the breach was low, and even if she did, Su Xiao had an even more startling claim.

”Hanji, what’s the situation at the passage you defended previously?”

Erwin wouldn’t take Su Xiao’s words as gospel, even if Su Xiao was now a member of the Survey Corps.

”The outer side of the wall had no obvious cracks; the interior of the breach is unclear since I didn’t enter, but I speculate there wouldn’t be extensive cracks, I suggest sealing the already-lost breach first to stop Giants from entering the city, casualties among civilians are heavy now.”

It was evident Hanji Zoe was shaken by Su Xiao’s words; if an expert in wall construction were present, they’d surely point out Su Xiao’s flaws.

Yet Su Xiao was sure there were no such talents present; the Royal Family would never allow such talents to emerge because the three walls weren’t manually constructed.

”Decided: first block the entry Bai Ye previously guarded, and then seal the other two breaches afterward.”

After Darius Zachary issued the order, Su Xiao exhaled a long, relieved breath, his plan had reached 50% completion.

He achieved this not because of his resourcefulness but because he capitalized on the general trend.

After Eren’s Giant identity was exposed, those within the wall with functioning brains would surely utilize Eren’s strength, given the dire current situation.

”All Survey Corps members, prepare to begin a large-scale cleanup of Giants within the wall. Prepare for Eren Yeager to move the giant stone.

Eren Yeager, can you transform into a Giant now?”

Erwin, now appointed as the frontline commander, quickly took up the heavy responsibility.

”I don’t think so, I’m very tired now, and it’ll take at least an hour of rest.”

Eren had already grasped the Power of Giant preliminarily; upon inheriting it, he would also inherit some memories from previous users, which are the usage methods of the Power of Giant.

”Giving you two hours of rest time, just enough to clear the giants inside the wall, Bai Ye, you’re responsible for Eren Yeager. Use your judgment during critical moments.”

Actually, the best candidate was Levi; Erwin trusted Levi more, but Levi wasn’t here, so Erwin had to choose Su Xiao.

”No problem.”

Su Xiao sat at the edge of the wall, watching the smoke rising from the town below. Now, all he needed to do was keep an eye on the ’Eren beast.’ He felt that completing the ’offensive and defensive mission’ was no longer far away; for him, the giant world only truly began once he completed this mission, being bound by the mission was inconvenient at the moment.

He had a bold idea afterward, which if successful would be extremely rewarding.

Su Xiao took out some chocolate and handed it to Eren; this would help Eren recover stamina faster.

”Eat this to speed up stamina recovery; if two hours later you can’t lift that stone, you might as well close your eyes and wait for death.”

Eren hesitated before accepting the chocolate. His life now in Su Xiao’s hands, he didn’t think Su Xiao would poison it.

Taking a bite of the chocolate, Eren’s face didn’t look good.

”It’s both sweet and bitter with a weird taste, and it even looks like earth color.”

”Cut the crap, if you dare spit it out, I’ll force-feed you dirt.”
