“I promise to do my best to make them consider the help he has given to humanity this time… I will try to defend him with all the resources I have”
After we stare at each other for a while, Erwin finally makes a promise to try to protect Eren. And I know he would. He wasn't a fool and he knew what Eren could mean to this place… if you're very optimistic about it, you might even see it as a chance for humans to leave these walls!
…although, to be honest, I had seen a bit of what things were like near the third wall. Trying to recover that territory with only Eren's help was, at best, very difficult! Talk of humans being able to counter titans with just him was a dream within a dream.
Or at least that's how it seemed to me!
But well, his answer was enough for me. I was sure that he would carry out those words he said. There was only one problem, this didn't seem like enough for Mikasa… her gaze was still just as intense as she looked at these three.
"You must keep your words, because... if anything happens to the boy, then I will hold everyone who lives within the wall responsible."
““…””
I could only talk and… threaten the two fellows and the girl a bit to smooth things over a bit. Of course, this was only for Mikasa… for those three this had simply given them more things to think about! But, perhaps considering that there was no other option, Erwin nods.
With this, Mikasa could hand over Eren to them...
“…what are you going to do with those guys?”
"I'll take them to a certain place, don't worry, they probably won't cause trouble for the people who live within these walls anymore."
““…””
…I hope that my smile has conveyed that I was not lying in my words.
If these guys don't submit to me after they wake up, then I can only get rid of them! There was no reason to have any regrets about that, Rainer along with Bartolt were genocidal… and the other two girls weren't that much better. One at least fully agreed with those two, and the other… from what I can see was more than willing to kill anyone she consider a nuisance.
Several of the soldiers who had returned along with Saeko were apparently quite injured… they needed others to help them move. If they're alive, that's just down to luck or the armor they were wearing!
…it's good that I sent these guys with her, otherwise, very well Saeko could be the one with such injuries! Or maybe things could be even worse!!
“Well… I'd like to talk more, but we'll have to do that later. Now we must concentrate on exterminating the titans that are still inside the Rose wall”
“Yes… I would also like the two of us to have a talk later.”
With nothing more to say, Erwin and those two along with Eren leave using the [Three-Dimensional Movement Equipment]. There were many things I would like to discuss with him, but now he obviously prioritized resolving the situation within these walls.
…I could only wait to talk to this scouting force commander. It does seem that the boy I saw last time had risen in rank just as I had hoped.
"You guys better get back now before you draw more attention."
“Alexander-sama, won't you come back together with us? I'm sure the citadel leaders will be very happy to see you! ”
"...there will be more time later to do that, now I have to complete some things in this place"

"…I get it"
The truth is that seeing these people now that the situation was much calmer than before, I had some concern to return to the citadel I founded before… the eyes of many of these people were not very different from Mikasa's! They looked at me with some adoration!!
…I had a bad feeling about that.
Before they set out again for what was now their home, I had to make sure the three we had captured did not create problems. I take out several [Collars of Slavery] to put on them.
Yeah, even though there were two women, this time I didn't plan on wearing something like what I gave Milene and Shisuka… these things I put on these girls and Rainer weren't fun at all! If they disobeyed me or acted suspiciously, then I wouldn't hesitate to activate their mechanism which was to instantly decapitate them!
It might not be something that people like Shigure like quite a bit, but… I had no choice. If they turned back into titans, then again we would have to go through the same troubles to capture or kill them!
And with this, even though they do, these necklaces will still be attached to their necks even if they are in their titan form! So once I activate them, then these will still be functional.
I make sure to tell my soldiers to tell them about this when they wake up. Also, to immobilize them while I'm not there to prevent them from transforming into titans. Even though I had taken measures in case they transformed, it wasn't a good thing to allow them to do so. After all, it would still be somewhat troublesome.
There were people in the citadel who also possessed that ability, so surely they will be able to find a way to achieve that.
[Mission/Optional “Capture or eliminate the traitors of humanity” – F
Within this place, there are 4 people infiltrated with the ability to transform into titans that are harmful to people within these walls, catch them or eliminate them to secure the area.
Objective: Catch or eliminate those 4 People (3 people captured)
Rewards: 600 x RC per Captured Person
600 x BG per Captured Person
Unlock using Modern Weapons.
Additional Rewards:
10 x Titan Transformation Serums - E (Reduced Side Effects)
5 x Anti-Personnel Firearms Set Coupons (100)
5 x Anti-Material Firearms Set Coupons (10)
5 x Military anti-personnel vehicle coupons
So, after seeing the soldiers march again towards the citadel outside these walls, the mission that was about these guys is over. It's a shame that Bartolt managed to escape, but as I thought, the rewards weren't bad despite that.
Most importantly, with this, we could now use modern weapons in this world! That damn limitation was finally gone!!
Yes, it was a bit fun to play spiderman and use swords, but… after a while it gets boring! The best thing is always efficiency and speed to defeat the enemy, and there is nothing better to achieve this than modern weapons!
…well, it's still in doubt how effective these can be, but at least I think BIMs won't let me down.
The only bad thing is… I didn't have many in my storage right now. I could get a production line with the wealth I have now with no problem, but… there were many difficulties with this even so!
First the raw materials… there is gunpowder in this world, but… it is far from having nuclear materials for the most complicated BIMs!
Well, I could still do something with it with the system…almost every titan meant a red crystal after all! But perhaps the biggest problem was that… the idea of people who barely have the technology to use steam engines understanding such things is very unrealistic.
…no, I can't get depressed about that, it was still better to have the option to use modern weapons than not to be able to!
“ What do we do, Alex-san? ”
"...let's also help finish off the titans that are still around the place"
"Yes!"
"U-n…"
"...it's alright, Alexander-sama."
“…haaa~ Why do I have to keep working? Give me my boxes of sweets, I want to return to the citadel so I can eat them in peace! ”
With two motivated girls, Saeko and Shigure, and two not so much... Mikasa still seemed a little depressed because Eren had been taken away, and Horo ... Horo was still Horo, we all moved to do what I said.
I guess it wasn't bad to keep increasing my titan kill counter in my head.
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
When things seem to have finally ended, night had fallen in this place. In part this helped a bit… titans reduced their activity a lot during this period. It was much easier for others to deal with the titans after finding them.
Not long after another titan sighting was probably no longer reported, finally our group, consisting of only recruits, was called. It was time for our graduation… and sadly, many hadn't been able to make it here. It could be said that they failed the training... which in this case meant that they lost their lives!
…yes, it wasn't precisely that they didn't pass the training, but that they ended up being titan food during the previous invasion! Probably 1/3 of all the recruits from different training teams had died that way.
There were many tears at this graduation as in others in my past life, but… I'm sure the atmosphere was very different now than on those occasions!
Man…this was fucking depressing…besides, what were the guys upstairs thinking to order the recruits' graduation to take place after the titans had breached the wall again? Don't they have a little conscience?!
At this point, those who made it through the training…or maybe I should say survived, would have to choose which of the military branches they wanted to join.
Well, most of them only had two options… the Military Police was like the cream of the crop, only the best could get in there.
As for me, Horo, Shigure, and Saeko… the high-up bastards only gave us one option, the [Expedition Force]! We just had no choice for choice.
Well, it didn't matter… I would have chosen the same one since I wanted to talk to Erwin and this one will allow me to leave this place without any problems.
Not that I needed the latter exactly though… I could leave whenever I wanted and, in fact, he plans to do so soon.
The only thing holding me back a bit was being able to talk to Erwin, and… Eren. Mikasa was still very worried about her fate. Apparently, and from what little I remember of the anime, he should be judged after this.
“ Well, it's the turn of the three of you… where do you want to enter? ”
“…the military police~”
“…”
When the guy who was giving an emotional speech finished what he was saying and starts asking each recruit that, and finally it's my turn, I could only answer him that. Well... I just wanted to fuck him up a bit…and I had. His face not knowing what to do now looking at the other soldiers who are attending this process was quite funny.
From my previous achievements during the fight, surely I could tell that if they said I wasn't qualified to take one of those places ah that militia force, then surely no one here could do it!
“…You will be assigned to the [Expedition Force] just like the girls next to you.”
The one who ends up answering is someone who seemed to have a considerable position in the military, and it seems that he didn't like me very much… seriously, how can you hate a boy like me?! That's unnatural, you know?!
"…whatever~"
“…”
Leaving such discrimination aside, curiously most of the people who were standing in line choose the [Expedition Force] even though some of them would be candidates for the [Military Police], like Mikasa's case.
But this doesn't surprise me, the girl had been following me practically everywhere... and there was also Eren who was in Erwin's custody for now. At least the ones above had enough brains to know that if he turned into a titan, the ones who had a better chance of controlling the situation were those who were much more used to fighting titans.
…or at least that's what I want to believe. Otherwise, with those guys in charge of this place, they're just in for annihilation sooner or later.
The good thing is that this depressing atmosphere also comes to an end… seriously, this seemed more like a funeral than graduation! But… on second thought, that very well is what this could have been! A way to say goodbye to all those who had died in the attack on titans recently.
Tomorrow we would be assigned to our respective places… and unfortunately, there was no such thing as a celebration after graduation! I had thought that after two weeks of abstinence, I could finally spend some time with Shigure and Saeko, but we are returned to the training headquarters to wait for someone to come for us the next day!
I could only lie in bed waiting for the sun to come up so I could go to where the [Scouting Force] was and then I could get out of here!
