Chapter 160

Armin looked at everyone present; these were all big shots he didn't usually get to see.

He turned to look at Eren and Mikasa. Their eyes were calm and very trusting of Armin. For some reason, Armin suddenly felt like crying.

Eren nodded at Armin, signaling for him to speak.

Armin took a deep breath, puffed out his chest, and maintained a confident posture.

Looking straight at the people in front of him, Armin gave a standard military salute, slamming his fist against his chest with force.

"Gentlemen, commanders of the military branches, and Commander-in-Chief, I have something to say, on behalf of Eren Yeager. We are fellow villagers who grew up together. If he is a threat to humanity, then I am also a suspect."

Darius Zackly's brows furrowed, his expression somewhat displeased. It should be Eren speaking for himself right now, not someone else on his behalf.

But recalling Eren's chaotic thinking, incoherent words, and Eren's extremely poor physical state, Darius Zackly finally nodded.

"Eren Yeager, can he represent your wishes?"

"Yes."

Eren's answer was crisp and decisive, without hesitation. Darius Zackly didn't say anything more.

Armin organized his thoughts and spoke:

"We are soldiers who have long sworn to offer our hearts for the revival of humanity. If we can give our lives for this, we will not hesitate, without a single complaint.

But if we can unite our current military strength and combine it with Eren Yeager's Titan power, it is not impossible to even retake the entire city.

Eren Yeager is a 15-meter class Titan after transforming. Based on the strength he previously displayed, lifting the giant boulders in the town is completely within his capacity.

So even if we are to die here today, for the sake of humanity's honor, let us die gloriously in battle!"

Armin completed the above statement by shouting. It was simple and had impact.

Not to mention Darius Zackly, even the good-for-nothings of the Military Police Regiment were somewhat moved; after all, their families were within Wall Luo Sai.

Su Xiao looked at Armin with a smile. This teenager had great oratorical talent; it wasn't impossible for him to become the Survey Corps commander in the future.

"A truly brilliant statement. Eren Yeager, this is your intention, right?"

Darius Zackly clenched his fists. As long as they could retake Wall Luo Sai, he wouldn't hesitate even if it meant taking some risks. Once Wall Luo Sai was completely breached, humanity would lose a large amount of land. In less than a week, the human population would drop by at least 80%, and cannibalism would be a normal situation by then.

Trading children to eat wasn't just an idiom; in times of famine, that was just a pile of meat in the pot.

"Survey Corps Commander Erwin Smith, I now order you to use Eren Yeager's Titan power to retake Wall Luo Sai. Can you do it?"

Darius Zackly's spirit was at its peak at this moment.

"I don't know if we can do it, but until the Survey Corps is wiped out, this is the mission of the Survey Corps."

"Good!"

Darius Zackly's gaze turned to Su Xiao.

"Soldier Bai Ye, if Eren Yeager betrays humanity after turning into a Titan, can you execute him immediately?"

"No problem. I was the one who dragged him out of the Titan's body earlier. Compared to capturing him alive, killing him is simpler."

Su Xiao's clear answer gave Darius Zackly more confidence in the upcoming operation.

"But there are three holes in the wall now. Should we plug the hole that is currently being defended, or the hole that has already been breached?"

Darius Zackly hesitated. Plugging the hole currently being defended would be faster and could speed up the progress of holding Wall Luo Sai. However, the hole that had already been breached was also imminent; it was just more difficult to plug and would be hindered by Titans.

The most critical moment had arrived. If Su Xiao didn't say something now, he might end up doing the work for someone else.

"Commander-in-Chief, I was the one guarding that already-breached hole earlier. However, because of the massive evacuation of personnel, that hole was eventually lost.

That hole is very wrong; it is larger compared to the other two holes, and cracks have appeared in the wall inside the hole. If we don't establish a support point as soon as possible, the wall nearby might collapse."

This heavy news from Su Xiao stunned everyone around. What was the concept of a wall collapse? If the collapse inside the hole led to the entire wall falling, then humanity would be finished.

"Is the information accurate?"

"Accurate. I personally went inside the hole to check the inner wall. There is one crack of about 50 centimeters, four cracks of 30 centimeters, and twenty cracks of 10 centimeters."

There would indeed be cracks inside the hole. Su Xiao believed that each of the three holes had them, but he was the only one present who had personally guarded the front of the hole.

Although Hange Zoe was also on the front line, she fought using the 'Vertical Maneuvering Equipment', and the possibility of her entering the hole to check the inner wall wasn't high. Even if she had checked, Su Xiao had an even more terrifying claim.

"Hange, what was the situation at the hole you were defending?"

Erwin wouldn't listen to Su Xiao's one-sided story, even though Su Xiao was now a member of the Survey Corps.

"There were no obvious cracks on the outside of the wall. I don't know about the inside of the hole; I didn't go in. But I speculate there wouldn't be any major cracks. I suggest plugging the hole that has already been lost first to block the Titans from continuing to enter the city. The civilian casualties are severe right now."

It was clear that Hange Zoe was shaken by Su Xiao's words. If there had been a wall construction expert present, they would definitely have pointed out the problems in Su Xiao's words.

But Su Xiao was certain there was no such talent present. The royal family would never allow such talent to appear, because none of the three walls were built by humans.

"It's decided. We will plug the entrance that Bai Ye guarded first, and then continue to plug the other two holes."

After Darius Zackly gave the order, Su Xiao let out a long sigh of relief. His plan had already been 50% realized.

The reason he could achieve this wasn't because he was resourceful, but because he had grasped the general trend.

After Eren's Titan identity was exposed, as long as the high-level officials within the walls didn't have holes in their brains, they would all use Eren's power. The current situation was too critical.

"All personnel of the Survey Corps, listen to the order. Prepare to begin large-scale cleaning of Titans within the walls and make preparations for Eren Yeager to transport the boulders.

Eren Yeager, can you turn into a Titan now?"

Erwin was now appointed as the front-line commander, and he immediately took on the heavy burden.

"I don't think so. I'm very tired right now; I need at least an hour of rest before it's possible."

Eren had initially mastered the Titan power. After inheriting the Titan power, he would also inherit some memories of the previous Titan power users, and these memories were the methods of using Titan power.

"I'll give you two hours of rest. During this time, we'll just happen to clean up the Titans within the walls. Bai Ye, Eren Yeager is your responsibility. Use your own judgment at critical moments."

Actually, the best candidate was Levi, and Erwin trusted Levi more. Unfortunately, Levi was no longer there, and Erwin could only choose Su Xiao.

"No problem."

Su Xiao sat on the edge of the wall, looking at the town below where smoke and fire were rising. Now he only needed to keep an eye on 'Titan Eren'. He felt that he wasn't far from completing the 'Offense and Defense Mission'. For him, the Titan world would only just be beginning after completing the mission; being bound by the mission right now was truly inconvenient for taking action.

He had a bold idea for later, and if it succeeded, the rewards would definitely be significant.

Su Xiao took out some chocolate and handed it to Eren; this stuff could help Eren recover his strength as soon as possible.

"Eat it, it can speed up your physical recovery. If you can't lift that rock in two hours, you can just close your eyes and wait for death."

Eren hesitated for a moment before taking the chocolate. His life and death were now in Su Xiao's hands; he didn't think Su Xiao would poison him.

Taking a bite of the chocolate, Eren's expression wasn't very good.

"It's sweet and bitter and has a weird taste. It's so hard to eat, and it's the same color as dirt."

"Stop talking nonsense. If you dare to spit it out, I'll feed you dirt directly."
