- Boom!!

Nitroglycerin was detonated by the fire detonator, and the deafening explosion poured into everyone's ears, and the earth-shattering tremor burst out all the light and heat, and at that moment, it was as bright as day.

Before the explosion, Ian pulled Hannes to cover his ears and prostrate on the ground.

The blast wave of the explosion swept across their backs, and the haystacks around them were blown away by the wind, and with a click, something landed on Ian's side.

It was a scorched piece of skin, about the size of Ian, with fire chips burning on it, emitting white vapor like burning plastic foam, rapidly shrinking and shrinking.

Ian squinted his eyes and blocked it with his right hand, and slowly stood up, looking at the burning crater.

The hot wind lifted the red-hot ashes and black smoke into the sky, and the embers fell like a flame-colored snow.

The whole field was gone, leaving only a huge crater, the pit was burning with raging fire, the fourteen-meter-tall giantess, who had been blown apart, and the visible appearance was all charred, and everywhere there were the remains of the giantess, which were disappearing at a rapid rate.

Thanks to the giantess's position at the center of the explosion, her body withstood most of the impact and heat, and the giant that Eren turned into was only a blow off her feet and a burning body.

The soldiers on the roof stood still, stunned as they watched the scene in front of them.

The manor at his feet was full of human corpses, and in the distance there was an apocalyptic fire, the giantess's body was scorched by the flames, and the head with the back of her neck fell to the ground, and the huge face was skinless, only bare gums and charred white bones.

The nearby vines burned, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and nitroglycerin after the explosion, and Hannes, hearing that there was no movement, finally looked up and saw Ian standing on the edge of the fire pit, Ian's hair and clothes dancing in the wind, and the fire reflected in his eyes like golden lava.

Farther away, the people in the carriage and those who had fled, turned their heads.

They heard the explosion behind them and saw the light of the fire that illuminated the sky.

In Hesteria's carriage, Mikasa jumped straight down, rolled a few times through the bushes and bushes, and then stood up with his scars.

"Alan..."

With tears in her eyes, Mikasa ran in the direction of the manor.

"Mikasa! Where are you going, come back quickly! Armin shouted from the carriage.

To Armin's surprise, when he shouted this, Heatriath jumped out of the car as well.

The princess tore off the skirt of her dress, threw away the high-heeled pointed-toe shoes that were not conducive to movement, gritted her teeth, and ran forward barefoot.

"Your Highness! Come back! ”

The soldiers who were with them grabbed their horses, jumped down, and chased after Heatria's figure.

Soon, however, Mikasa and Heatheria stopped.

They weren't really far from the manor, only about a kilometer or two.

Someone was waving at them, it was Ian and Hannes, who were standing on a higher dirt slope and waving their right hands.

...

"Ian, are you alright?" Heather's cold little hands caressed Ian's face and skin up and down.

"It's just a little burn." Ian touched her forehead, turned to Mikasa and said, "Mikasa, the explosion shouldn't have affected Alan, if you're worried, let Mr. Hannes take you over first." ”

Mikasa nodded, and went over with Hannes first.

Ian stood here and waited for Petra and the others to come, and the soldiers rushed to the fire pit using their three-dimensional mobile devices.

Petra looked at the giantess's corpse in horror and swallowed.

"Sister Petra, she's there." Ian pointed to the remains of the giantess's head.

There was a luminous transparent crystal, half buried in the coke and half exposed, standing out in the sea of fire.

"That's—" Petra's superb eyesight allowed her to see through the barrier and see the person wrapped in the crystal.

"Fetch water and put out the fire!" She gave the order.

Under her command, the soldiers found the waterwheel near the manor, dug a shallow ditch, and used the waterwheel to divert the water from the river to the vicinity of the crystal to cool it, and then shoveled the wet mud down to extinguish the fire.

Soon after, a group of soldiers arrived from the direction of the town.

They rode horses, led by Commander Pixis.

The explosion of nitroglycerin was so violent that it could be felt even in the city, so Pixis put aside what he was doing and led his direct legion to follow the distant fire.

unimaginable tragies, ruins, fires, the remains of giants, traces of battle, human corpses...

Some former gendarmes with little combat experience felt physiological discomfort just by seeing this scene, and some covered their mouths and vomited on the side of the road.

"What the hell is going on." Pixis put his hands behind his back.

"It's a giant, a giantess, someone who can become a giant like Alan!" Petra explains the situation to Pixis.

After extinguishing the fire, the soldiers lifted the crystalline object, and Yani was wrapped in it, her eyes closed as if she were asleep.

She still reacted, and she was afraid that when she saw the rocket, she expected what would happen.

After all, she was born in Marais, an Eldian, a warrior of the Marais government, and the war there had developed to the point of guns, armored trains, and airships.

When she ate the maltose, she sensed that it was a trap, and naturally she could guess that there was a weapon against her in the trap.

So in her last moments, she used all her strength to create a hard shell and wrap herself in defense.

Someone tried to smash it with a hammer or shoot it with a gun, but they couldn't destroy the crystal.

The fact that it was able to remain so intact in the explosion of nitroglycerin was enough to prove how strong it was, and in the story that Ian was familiar with, Parady Island had not been able to pry Yani out of it for five years, and it was because Eren had unleashed the power of the Ancestors that she had woken up from this dormant state.

But this is not a bad thing, if Yani is not hardened, she will definitely be killed on the spot, so that the power of the giantess will immediately appear in Eldia's newborn and become uncontrollable, it is better to save this crystal, maybe you can open it in the future, and let others inherit the power of the giantess.

Unfortunately, if it is the power of a giant, he can only live for thirteen years without inheritance, and Ian wants to try what it is like to be a giant.

He let out a sigh of relief and looked at the ruins, finally clearing the obstacles, and it was time to form his own armed forces.
