Paradis Island, near the underground shipyard, tarmac.

Ian looked up and saw that the sun was about to set, and the white clouds were like fire, revealing the color of flames, constantly changing.

The refreshing sea breeze blows in your face, the long sound of the tide echoes in your ears, and the seagulls that form a line fly over the sea, and the sea surface is glittering.

He glanced at his watch, and according to the telegram communicated twenty-six hours earlier, Operation Rebellio had officially begun under Erwin's leadership.

Twenty-five hours earlier, he had received a second telegram that had taken off with the Warhammer Giant's Heir, Allen, and the others, and had been waiting here ever since.

At the edge of the tarmac, a twenty-meter-level giant stood straight, acting as a watchtower.

Its whole body was wrapped in flashing light strips, and its hands held conspicuous red flags and waved.

Eren was able to use the power of the Ancestors to locate this place, and communicated with him before leaving.

If all goes well, tonight, Hanji's plane will be able to reach this tarmac.

Ian left everything in his hands behind and waited.

The sun had set, night had fallen, and the light strips around the giant's body shone brightly, twinkling like stars in the darkness.

The area around the tarmac is illuminated as bright as day by high-powered searchlights, and the beam of light shoots out from the ground, creating a circular spot on the clouds, which can be seen even from a long distance.

The manned plane, which was traveling at about 180 kilometers per hour, was nearly 6,000 kilometers away from Marais to the island of Palladium, and it took about 30 hours for Hanji to get there.

Its fuel is also the island's specialty, Iceblastite, which is poured into the fuel tank of an airplane, and the Iceblastite will naturally liquefy due to the heated internal combustion engine and flow into the engine for combustion.

With spare fuel on it, it can fly for more than forty hours in a row, more than enough to fly from Marais to Paradis Island.

Ian waited silently, and finally, the sound of propellers turning and the roar of an airplane could be heard in the sky, and the crew went to assist the plane to land.

The wheels of the plane touch the smooth concrete runway and taxi to slow down.

Hanji in the cockpit pulled the lever and let out a long sigh of relief.

She finally arrived at Paradis Island without any problems, and when she returned here, she felt much more at ease.

This is her homeland, her native place, and the people who stand next to the airport are her compatriots and comrades-in-arms.

The 30-hour flight exhausted her, and she didn't close her eyes during the flight, and her spirit was highly stressed.

It was the first time she had flown such a long distance, and it had only been a short test flight, and the farthest it had flown from the north to the south of Paradis Island, a thousand kilometers, and this time it was more than six times the distance, which inevitably made her feel more stressed.

After all, she was not the only one on the plane, she was carrying the fate of Parady Island.

Still, there was a benefit, she saw beautiful scenery that she had never seen before.

She read the twinkling stars in the sky and saw the layers of water on the surface of the sea that had been swept up by tornadoes.

It was a sight that Hanji would never forget in his life, long black columns supporting the vaults of the gloomy storm, torn tops, and silver moonlight pouring down.

She rounded the huge black pillars that roared towards the sea, slanted down the silver light along the moonlight, and continued to fly for four hours until she stepped out of the temple on the sea.

The plane stopped, and the staff stepped forward to assist Hanji and the others in getting down.

Hanji's palms are covered in sweat, and Eren and Mikasa talk about the storm they encountered during the flight, which is the first time Eren and Mikasa have been on a plane, and the experience is new and unique.

Mikasa still remembers that at that time, Alan was lying on his stomach by the small round window, waving at Mikasa.

They huddled together, listening to each other's breathing, watching the magnificent and fantastic storm under the moon, and it wasn't until they left that Mikasa realized that he didn't even have time to be afraid.

She only felt very happy, Alan was by her side, sharing the joy with her.

No matter what she does, she wants to protect this happiness and joy.

"Welcome home." Ian stepped forward and hugged Hanji, Allen, and Mikasa.

The heirs of the Warhammer giants were taken away by the staff, while Pique's father was transferred to the medical room of the underground shipyard.

The only person who was sad was Dinah, who looked very emaciated, like glass had broken to pieces.

Ian hears from Hanji about what happened in Rebellio's battle and learns that Jik has chosen to leave his mother.

"Jik only has five years left." Dinah fell to her knees and begged Ian to help her, "I only have eight years left to live. Please, please help me and Jik."

Dinah's only wish is to be reunited with Jik.

She felt guilty about her son, and felt that it was her and Grisha's education that allowed Jike to live painfully to this day, and even became Marlai's weapon.

As an unqualified mother, she wants to make up for and protect her son, which is pure maternal love without any rewards and distractions.

Ian helped Dinah to her feet and promised her that Parady Island would do his best to help her find her son, and that he would let her know as soon as he had news.

After that, Alan and the others were sent to rest, and only Hanji stayed.

"Why don't you let me inherit the Warhammer Giant." Hanji proposed, "You are the treasure of Paradis Island, I know better than anyone on the island, no, I am afraid, we Survey Corps are still in the walls and are blinded by the nobility." ”

Hanji has witnessed too many miracles along the way.

From the beginning of the gunsmithy, the glass greenhouse, the Gatling of the Giant, and later the Special Giant, the power station, the shipyard and the aircraft factory.

Hanji watched Ian grow from that ragged child to being taller than she was today.

It was Ian who led Paradis Island to where it is today.

She said this from the heart of her mind, thinking that it would be better for her to inherit the Warhammer giants, and that she felt that Ian had to live longer than she did.

"Captain Hanji, you asked me before." Ian stared into his palm, "Where the hell did I learn that knowledge?" ”

"That's what I asked." Hanji nodded: "I remember, you said that you had a teacher in a dream. ”

"I'm telling the truth." Ian said frankly: "Guns, railroads, steam trains, power plants, airplanes. All that knowledge was taught to me by my dream teacher, but now I haven't seen that teacher for a long time, and maybe I will never see her again. ”

"What. Meaning? Hanji asked hesitantly.

"I don't have much more to do for Paradis Island, for my homeland, than to inherit the Warhammer Giants." Ian looked up at her, "So let me inherit it, let me finish what I can." ”
