The crowd, after hearing the story of "Ever Night," was still full of wonder and clamored for Su Mu to tell another.
Su Mu, unable to refuse, found another story in his mind.
"Director Su, we haven't heard enough!"
"Tell us another one!"
"We're all so bored all day, your stories are like a sacred medicine to cure time!"
"I want to hear more!"
"Director Su, don't hesitate, tell us another one quickly."
Su Mu fanned himself gently, instantly transporting everyone to the foot of a towering city wall.
"Everyone, since you insist, I shall tell another story."
"This story is called 'Attack on Titan'."
"What is a Titan?"
"It is man's fear of the unknown, his fantasy of deities, and his terror of colossal beings."
"I do not know what lies beyond the sea, but there must be birds soaring freely in the sky."
"A tired little hand reached out towards a bird gliding in the sky. The boy lay powerless in the trench."
"It turned out this was a time of war. The boy's name was Falco, and he was currently charging on the front lines as a warrior candidate. However, a cannonball struck him, sending him flying and unable to move."
"Just then, another young soldier anxiously arrived, asking about Falco's condition, whether he was still alive. This soldier was Falco's brother, Colt."
"Colt was relieved that his brother Falco was alive and quickly carried Falco through the hail of bullets, returning to the rear trench."
"Meanwhile, Reiner gathered the other soldiers, candidates, and Captain Magath. Falco, his head severely impacted, couldn't remember what had just happened. The old proxy was dazed as if drunk. Gabi playfully remarked if Falco had been drinking?"
"Fortunately, the injury wasn't fatal. Someone quickly took out a water bottle to wash Falco's injured forehead, and Gabi also took out disinfectant to bandage him."
"Due to the head injury, Falco had temporarily lost some memory. He didn't know why they, as soldiers and candidates, were charging on the front lines."
"Seeing Falco's state, Pieck could only re-explain the plan to him. This war had already been raging for four years, and they had finally reached a turning point that would decide the outcome. If they could capture the fortress before them, Marley would win the war."
"As for why they, the warrior candidates, had to fight on the front lines, it was naturally to select the next warrior from among them, the inheritor of the Armored Titan."
"At this moment, Gabi was already extremely excited, as she was brimming with confidence about becoming the inheritor of the Armored Titan. Gabi said to everyone with a serious expression, 'The biggest difference between me and all of you is my resolve. I have the resolve to bear the fate of the Eldians and kill all the devils living on that island.'"
"With that, Gabi skillfully bound seven bombs together. With these, they could definitely blow up the enemy ships. As the battle reached a stalemate, Colt suggested to Captain Magath that they immediately deploy the Cart Titan and the Beast Titan to engage the enemy, believing that with Galliard's and Pieck's strength, they could instantly annihilate the enemy forces hidden in the fort."
"However, Captain Magath refused this proposal, stating that one wrong step would lead to total defeat. They possessed armored trains equipped with anti-Titan cannons, and the armor-piercing shells fired from these 100mm caliber cannons could easily kill a Titan with a single shot. Even the Nine Titans couldn't withstand them."
"Colt still wanted to argue, but Captain Magath's stance was firm. 'Although the Armored Titan and the Cart Titan are very agile, if they are hit by the enemy, Marley will lose its Titan powers again, and it might be impossible to recover them.'"
"Just like Marley lost the Founding Titan and the Female Titan nine years ago during the plan to reclaim the Founding Titan, they were counter-attacked. Marley's loss of two Titan powers was seen by the outside world as a sign of declining military strength and became the fuse for this war. Because of this, even the Paradis Island plan had to be postponed."
"If they lost Titan powers again, the nation of Marley would cease to exist. At this moment, Gabi glared with wide eyes, holding a bag of explosives, and requested to Magath."
"'Let me go destroy the enemy's armored train alone.' Magath looked at the little girl before him in shock. How could this young girl show no fear at all? However, Magath still refused Gabi's request, as Marley had invested a great deal of manpower and resources in training their warrior candidates."
"Yet, Gabi still confidently stated that she could definitely dismantle the enemy's armored train and prove with her actions that she was a warrior qualified to inherit the Armored Titan."
"In the next second, Gabi directly took off her warrior uniform and walked towards the enemy with the bag of explosives. The enemies inside the fort immediately discovered Gabi. Gabi raised her hands as if to surrender and walked towards the enemy."
"The enemy saw that it was a minor girl and hesitated for a moment. After all, no one wanted to kill a child, especially a child who had surrendered and disarmed. However, just as the enemy reached Gabi's throwing range, Gabi turned her hand, her face contorted in ferocity, and hurled the explosive bag towards the armored train ahead. The explosive bag flew rapidly through the air."
"It then landed precisely in front of the armored train's tracks. A violent explosion erupted, and the armored train immediately overturned and derailed. Gabi, having completed her mission, laughed wildly as she retreated towards the rear trench."
"Captain Magath immediately released the Jaw Titan to engage the enemy. But the enemy was not foolish; they would not let these despicable Marleyans have their way and immediately opened fire with machine guns, targeting Gabi."
"Falco, worried about Gabi's safety, also rushed towards her. If they could reach the pit in front, they would escape. However, enemy bullets rained down. At this critical moment, a giant hand blocked the storm of gunfire for them."
"Upon closer inspection, it was the Jaw Titan, Galliard. 'Now, it's my turn,' he roared. Galliard then sprinted forward, directly charging towards the enemy, crushing the enemy's fort with a single punch. This was Marley's proud Titan warfare."
