"Alan... Alan..."

"Hey, what's wrong with you, Alan..."

"It's just a little bit of a giant, so you don't faint from exhaustion, right? Or is it a sequelae of the power of giants? ”

Alan opened his eyes in the hazy sound of a call.

The dim glow of the fire, surrounded by white steam and sticky flesh, Hanji's large face was pestled in front of him.

That's right... I've moved Dina Flitz to the carrier...

"I'm fine, Captain Hanji..."

Alan held his head and stood up, and Hanji used a knife to help him cut off the strips of meat.

He stepped out of the back of the giant's neck and looked at the blonde giant tied to the cart.

"Are you really okay?" Hanji asked with concern, "Looking at your face just now, it seems to be very bad." ”

"Is there one?" said Allen, scratching his head.

"Go back to the doctor and give you a full check-up." Hanji touched his chin, "Even the owner of the power of the giants will suffer from diseases such as colds." ”

"Maybe." Alan rubbed his forehead.

"Let's go back to the walls first." Ian said, "I'll be able to get some rest when I go back." ”

The crowd escorted the truck back to the Ubitya area.

After transporting Dana Flitz to the blackout tent inside the wall, Hanji led two thick stumps through her left and right abdomen, and then tied her wrists and calves with wire and rope, and pinned her to the ground.

Hanji stayed in the tent and said that she was going to do research on Dinah, and she was very excited, saying that this was the first time that a living giant had been captured within the walls, and that she was not going to sleep tonight.

After returning to the rest house, Ian found Eren and told him, "If you have any troubles, you can come and talk to me." ”

Late at night, in the dead of night, there was a knock on Ian's door.

"It's me, Alan, may I come in?"

There was a creak, and the wooden door opened.

Ian holds a candle and the flame flickers.

"Let's go inside."

The two sat on the bed, and Alan wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

His mind was now in a mess, and he grabbed his head, opened his mouth, and closed it again, without saying a word.

"Alan, did you see anything when you touched Dina Flitze?" Ian asked.

"How do you know?" Alan jerked his head up.

"I guess." Ian said.

"I don't know what's going on." Alan pursed his lips: "When I came into contact with that giant, I saw a lot of strange things. ”

"For example?"

"Ian, do you remember? When Armin and I went to see the iron-making furnace, it was the first time I became a giant. Alan looked at his palm: "I don't know how to describe it, but at noon that day, it may not be me who wanted to go to see the iron-making furnace..."

Allen's words sounded strange at first, but Ian quickly understood what he meant.

Is that really the case...

Long before today, Ian was more or less aware of it.

The timing of Allen's transformation into a giant was too coincidental, and it happened to be at a time when the ironworks were understaffed.

Ian had never told anyone else, and he had quietly calculated that if Eren hadn't turned into a giant to help with iron smelting and construction during his time at the factory, the total efficiency would have been delayed by about a third, and the overall progress of the project would have been delayed by nearly ten days.

Based on this assumption, on the day the gendarmerie attacked, they were not ready enough guns and ammunition to launch a coup d'état, and they could not launch a lightning attack on the royal capital the next day.

Ten days sounds like a lot, but there are a lot of variables and uncertainties in these ten days.

After the loss of contact with the gendarmes, will the central government perceive the problem, and whether it will take the risk of forcibly staging a coup d'état when there are not enough weapons...

Although it was only delayed for ten days, I don't know how many butterfly effects will be triggered in the middle, and the worst-case scenario is that by the end of this year, the coup has not been successful, or even failed, and if the coup is not successful, the glass greenhouse will not be able to be promoted...

When you think about it, the timing of Allen's transformation into a giant is quite clever.

He happened to be at that critical point in time, because of an accident, and became a giant.

In retrospect, that day, Eren who had become a giant for the first time did not lose control, and when Ian climbed into Alan's palm and met the giant's eyes, what he saw in those eyes was not hesitation and helplessness.

"What else did you see besides the iron-making furnace?" Ian grabbed Allen's shoulder: "Like, did you see something you didn't recognize?" ”

"I don't know something," Alan pondered, "I seem to be flying in the sky, and many people have come to the island... It's burning everywhere..."

"Giants... A lot of oversized giants..."

"That's right... I hear you..."

"Hurry up..."

"I heard you say that to me."

"And my dad... Dad appeared in a strange place, he turned into a giant, I don't know how it was... But... It's as if Dad killed the King of the Wall, and he took away the power of the Ancestors..."

"I saw people I didn't know..."

"Ian, why do you think I'm seeing these things?"

"Are those things really going to happen? I've seen so many people die, many, many people have died..."

"Alan, do you believe me?" Ian and Alan looked at each other.

Alan froze, and at this time he said that he believed it, as if he was pale and weak, but he nodded instinctively.

It was Ian who led him out of the frontier, and to him, Ian was like a reliable big brother, taking care of him and Mikasa and Armin all the time, as if Ian could solve any problem.

"Leave everything to me." Ian stared silently, "Don't worry, bad things won't happen." ”

"As long as we keep moving forward, one day, we will definitely reach the other side of freedom."

"I will lead the island of Paradis to victory."

Listening to this determined voice, Allen's heart gradually calmed down.

Although he still didn't understand what was going on, someone pointed him in the right direction.

...

That night, Ian wrote an urgent letter.

The content of the letter is as follows: Head Erwin, the giant of Dinah Flitz has been captured, please transport Yani Reinhardt to Eubitya, and I will find a way for Dinah Frieze to inherit the giantess.

The letter was delivered to Levi and Hannes, who left Ubitya overnight and rode to the royal capital.

A few days later, Levi escorted the horse-drawn wagons to Ubitea, the shelves covered with a thick shade cloth, and escorted by a whole force of support guns.

Inside, it's Yanie Reinhardt sealed in a hard shell.

Although she is a child on the outside, she is a warrior from Marais.
