In the square of the Training Corps headquarters, hundreds of Survey Corps soldiers wearing dark green cloaks with the Survey Corps' Wings of Liberty emblem were lined up in a neat formation. Levi, startled by the sound of thunder, suddenly looked at Erwin beside him.
"Lightning... a loud bang... This is what happened when the former trainees Reiner and Bertholdt used the power of the Titan, as mentioned in the Trost District battle report?" Erwin murmured softly. He turned to look at Eren Yeager standing in Levi's squad, and thought deeply again: "Eren is here now... This confirms that a wielder of the Titan's power besides Eren has appeared in the Royal Capital... What could his purpose be? Could it be Eren?"
Compared to Erwin, who had limited information and was having trouble figuring things out, Ani, who was in the first row, was more certain of his previous guess. Only you were not there... As expected... Was it really you?
The clatter of hooves approached as a galloping horse approached. As it approached Erwin and the others, it pulled the reins and stopped. The military police officer at the steed shouted, "Royal Order: Former captain of the First Squad of the First Military Police Regiment, Ariana has been confirmed as a traitor and has abducted Duke Reis. She is now fleeing towards the eastern district of the royal capital. The entire Survey Corps will join the mission to capture her and ensure her safe rescue! That's all."
After the military police finished speaking, they turned their horses around and hurried back to report.
Reis... Duke... Historia, who was standing in the first row of the team and on Ani's right, was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect to hear this name in this place, on such an occasion, and in this way.
A person who possesses the power of a certain giant, and a cadre of the First Military Police Regiment... a cooperative relationship, a hostile relationship, or perhaps a relationship of third-party intervention... Why is the target not King Fritz, the ruler of the country... but Grand Duke Reis? Erwin's thoughts were incoherent.
Looking at Erwin who was frowning secretly, Levi calmly reminded him: "Erwin, now is not the time to think about problems!"
"You're right, it was my mistake!" Erwin gathered his thoughts, turned sideways to look at Hanji Zoe, and asked, "Is everyone here?"
Hanji Zuoye said, "Except for the leader of the newly formed Second Special Class, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, everyone is here!"
Erwin nodded, indicating understanding, and then said, "Train all soldiers, divided into squads..."
……
As the Training Corps, with the Training Corps headquarters as their starting point and teams as their units, formed a chain-like formation around the southern district of the Royal Capital, the Garrison Corps also took action... but the Survey Corps, which had already taken action earlier, had already arrived at the scene of the crime.
There was no sign of the giant, nor was there any trace of Rod Reis. The so-called crime scene was a residential building with one-third of the roof destroyed, and an area nearby.
A female corpse whose face was vaguely recognizable was half-hidden by the debris of a roof that had fallen onto the street beside a house...Further away were a dozen bloody bodies of the First Military Police, with their limbs and arms indistinguishable from ours...Further away were the bodies of several military policemen who had been shot dead...The cement ground was so thick that not even the giant's footprints could be left.
The Military Police Division Commander, Naildok, ordered: "Don't disturb the scene. Keep a detailed record of everything... Ryan, take your men to investigate this family and the people living nearby! The rest of you continue searching forward..."
Ten minutes later, the garrison troops arrived... and soon after, Pix and his guard squad were notified.
(Zhao Zhao)
Ten minutes later, the Survey Corps arrived and informed Erwin and Levi's squad...
This place, the only place that had any clues left, attracted three important figures from the military corps, and finally welcomed the carriage of the commander of the three armed forces...
Following President Zakary out of the car was the instigator, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi.
Having appeared in such a way that would absolutely not arouse suspicion, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi returned to the Survey Corps openly and, like most soldiers, spent this sleepless night searching door to door.

Chapter 125 I Want to Take You Away (Part 1)
The next morning.
"The captain of the First Military Police Regiment committed treason... and absconded with Duke Reis. He is now a national wanted man. A reward of 500,000 guilders is offered to anyone who reports the situation."
"So what was that explosion yesterday?"
"Didn't they say it was a lightning strike? One-third of the house was destroyed by lightning..."
"It didn't rain yesterday, so how could there be thunder, and only one thunder?"
"That wasn't an explosion. I recently moved here from the Trost District. I heard this kind of noise when the Colossal Titan appeared..."
"I, I'm from the Trost District too. I heard it too. I thought the King would be safe, but I didn't expect that giants disguised as humans have infiltrated here!"
"Could it be that Eren Yeager's trainee? Wasn't he already under the control of the Survey Corps? It's better to execute him sooner rather than later..."
Outside the palace gate, a group of residents who had gathered to read the notice were discussing it in twos and threes, with all kinds of opinions emerging one after another.
……
The main hall of the palace.
The top leaders of each military corps, the top leaders of the Giant Wall Sect, and the three dukes have already gathered here.
King Fritz, as always, sat firmly on the throne, acting as a formality. Princess Barut was the first to ask, "President Zakre, how's the investigation going?"
"Aside from the false, placating announcements, the following is currently confirmed!" Zakree said calmly, holding a stack of reimbursement reports. "Elliana, former captain of the First Squad of the First Military Police, has been confirmed dead. The cause of death appears to be an attack that destroyed nearly a third of the roofs of the houses. Only a Titan could have done that. She was likely slapped to death by an unknown Titan! And based on the loud noise last night and the appearance of the Titan in the Trost District, it's almost certain that a mysterious individual with Titan power was involved."
(bcde) "The remaining members of the First Military Police Squad have been taken into custody by the Military Police, with the cooperation of the new commander of the First Military Police, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi. No useful intelligence has been obtained at this time."
Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, who had joined the high-level meeting as the head of the First Military Police Regiment, spoke out at the right moment: "That's exactly what happened!"
Rod Reis had naturally informed these confidants about the appointment of Nishimiya Siyi long ago. Nishimiya Siyi also had the appointment letter in his hand and knew the secrets of the kingdom, so even if Rod Reis's whereabouts were unknown, Nishimiya Siyi's appointment was not affected at all.
Zakre continued, "Whether Ariana was a spy from some organization who had infiltrated the First Military Police, or whether she rebelled for unknown reasons; whether the Titan who killed her was a slayer by her own companions, or a third party's violent intervention (commonly known as "black eating black")... remains unknown!"
"The six gendarmes who were chasing her were shot to death! The bullets that killed them were of a material and shape that had never been seen before. Someone found metal objects in the scraps from the eaves... and they were basically consistent with the bullets found in the bodies of the gendarmes who were shot!" Zakre said, looking at Prince Barut.
Under the astonished gazes of Lord Barut and the others, he continued, "But that place is over... five hundred meters away from the gendarme's body! This is the flintlock technology our regiment has mastered, with an effective range over five times that..."
"Fifteen First Military Police also died... from their own [Three-Dimensional Maneuvering Devices]. The mobile wires fired from their [Three-Dimensional Maneuvering Devices] chopped off over ten pieces of their flesh. The cause of all this is most likely the special ability of the Titan that appeared in the Royal Capital!"
"Finally, Prince Reis, who was abducted by Ariana, has not been found. His life status is currently unknown... We searched the entire city but didn't find any useful information... We can't rule out the possibility that he was eaten by a giant..."
At this point, Zakre closed the intelligence report and said, "Based on the above, we have made two conclusions."
"First, Lord Reis has been eaten by a giant."
"Second, Lord Reis was abducted by a giant."
"To make a further judgment, I need the cooperation of everyone here!"
The Savoy said, "What...does it mean?"
Zakre asked sternly, "Why Duke Reis? Why did the giant target Duke Reis, and not King Fritz, or any of the other equally powerful dukes present?"
This question touched upon the very surface of a hidden secret. Duke Barut, overcome with emotion, stood up and said, "Asshole! How could we possibly know such a thing? Are you trying to shift the blame for your own incompetence onto us and the king?"
Glancing at King Fritz, who had an angry expression on his face, Zakre lowered his head and said, "I dare not!"
Duke Merovingian echoed, "In short, do your best... put everything else aside and make sure Duke Reis is alive... or dead!"
"What Merovingian means is what I mean!" said King Fritz.
Although he is a puppet, he is not an idiot. He knows when to use his identity to convey the intentions of the Grand Dukes.
"Yes!"
The entire group of senior executives bowed in response to the letter! Group 9: 8, 02:0585/6, by Dai Dai. Sent, self-speaking.
King Fritz waved his hand and said, "Back off!"
"Yes!"
Just as everyone was responding and turning to leave, the Duke of Savoy suddenly said, "Captain Xigong, stay!"
......
Chapter 126 I Want to Take You Away (Part 2)
Nishimiya Siyi, who was about to leave with everyone, stopped.
"You... know everything, right?" After all the high-ranking members of the corps had left, Lord Barut, who had not personally participated in the meeting between Rhodes and Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, asked tentatively.
"Of course!" Nishimiya Tsuyoshi glanced at King Fritz with a faint smile. "When Lord Reis said that, I was shocked. I never thought this king with such extraordinary bearing would be such a... idiot!"
Facing Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's target, King Fritz remained calm, as if he had not heard it at all. His level of pretense had reached an unfathomable level.
I don’t know if it’s because I was too immersed in the role, or if I was just acting like myself!
"Now that you know, you should understand the current situation... If we lose Lord Rhodes' power..." Lord Barut's face twisted unnaturally, "We... really... -... have no hope..."
"Not necessarily!" Nishimiya Tsukasa looked puzzled: "Isn't there Eren Yeager? He is also a holder of the power of the giant..."
"How can Lord Rhodes's power be compared with that little character of unknown origin?" Duke Barut widened his eyes and said sternly.
He is a typical tough guy who looks tough on the outside but is actually unbalanced inside... He is used to doing whatever he wants under the protection of Reis's power, but now he is panicking.
The other two archdukes and the Pope of the Giant Wall Cult glanced at Lord Barut, then lowered their heads with worried expressions, wondering what they were thinking...
A bunch of good-for-nothings whose brains are filled with alcohol and sex!
"I will naturally do my utmost to serve King Reis!" Nishimiya Tsuyoshi said, adding, "First, we'll start with the First Military Police Regiment... As a unit that directly obeys the king's orders, to have a rebel like Aliana... I can't help but doubt its composition... I will then begin to arrest all suspected First Military Police, and then add a large number of fresh blood to the First Military Police Regiment!"
Lord Barut waved his hand: "Whatever you want!"
"Then I'll take my leave first!" Xigong Siyi bowed slightly, then strode out of the palace hall.
……
First of all, there are those orphans I sent to the training corps before... Then there are other talents... Hange and Zoe, who are in charge of technology and equipment in the original plot, are one of them, Levi, who has a unique level of combat power and has left a psychological trauma on the Beast Titan, is one of them, and as for Erwin... It's better for him to lead the Survey Corps alone!
While calculating the next steps, Nishimiya Tsutomu walked out of the palace gate and walked towards the carriage waiting to pick him up. An expressionless ice-cold girl had already replaced the original coachman.
Nishimiya Tsutomu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Ani, why are you here?"
Ani jumped off the driver's seat, opened the carriage door and said, "Get in, I have something to tell you!"
This girl...what does she want to do...could it be...
Looking at Ani's serious face, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi realized something and entered the carriage as he was told.
Ani returned to the driving seat, picked up the reins that controlled the two horses, and the carriage began to move...
Nishimiya Tsuyoshi opened the small window separating the cockpit and the cabin, "Where are Mikasa and the others?"
Request flowers0
"Still resting!" Ani was very frugal with his words.
After the city-wide search mission ended in failure at dawn, some soldiers were ordered to return to headquarters to catch up on their sleep and wait for instructions. Mikasa and her group were among them.
"Then you come to me..."
"..."
Reply to post a letter! Group 9: 8, 02:05 85/6, sent by Daidai. From Nishimiya Shiyi, there was a moment of silence.
The silence lasted for a long time, until the carriage reached the southern gate of the royal capital and was stopped by the military police guarding the gate. "The royal capital is now under an indefinite lockdown. No one is allowed to pass without orders. Anyone who trespasses will be killed without mercy! Who is in the carriage?"
Inside the carriage, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, who already had an idea of what Ani was planning, shouted to the outside without waiting for Ani to speak: "I'm Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, commander of the First Military Police Regiment. I have a confidential mission that requires me to leave the city!"
Military Police Squad Leader: "Captain Nishimiya, please show us your pass!"
The First Military Police Regiment has a very special status within the kingdom's system. It is not a true military corps, is not under the control of the Presidential Office of the Three Armed Forces, and directly obeys the king's orders. It is roughly a bit like the Jinyiwei... So it is difficult for the soldiers below to locate the commander Nishimiya Siyi.
Nishimiya Siyi said firmly, "Anyone who delays military operations without written instructions for a confidential mission will be punished by death!"
Military Police Squad Leader: "This...is not in compliance with regulations!"
Nishimiya Siyi: "Are you sure you want to stop me?"
Dozens of seconds later… the military police squad leader finally couldn’t withstand the pressure of Nishimiya Tsuyoshi’s cold voice and silence, and shouted loudly: “Open the city gate!”
With that, the carriage started moving again...
......
Chapter 127 I Want to Take You Away (Part 3)
The high-level meeting room of the Presidential Palace of the Armed Forces.
"Xigong left the capital? And at this very moment..." Looking at the military police who suddenly rushed in to report the situation at the gate, Erwin pondered and asked, "Are there any others?"
The military police officer thought for a moment and said, "There was also a girl with short blond hair parted in the middle, wearing a Survey Corps uniform! We didn't dare to search the carriage by force, so we don't know..."
The military police division commander, Neldok, stood up suddenly. "Could it be that they participated in the treasonous act of kidnapping Grand Duke Reis? Now they want to transport Grand Duke Reis out of the capital?"
"It's too early to draw a conclusion like '560' now!" Zakre waved his hand, actually defending Nishimiya Tsuyoshi.
Erwin recalled, "There were two blonde girls who often followed Captain Nishimiya. The one with short, middle-parted hair... Anil Leonard, that should be her name..."
Erwin looked at Pisis and said, "Commander Pisis, I remember that because she was from the same area as Reiner and Bertholdt, she was the prime suspect in the [Female Titan], but Captain Nishimiya vouched for her, right?"
"That's right!" Pisis nodded. "After that, our attention was focused on the Battle to Recapture Trost and the special military review of Alan. Then, the Ariana treason incident happened last night... So we haven't paid much attention to her..."
Neldok said, "I told you that woman was suspicious, and that guy (Nishimiya Tsuyoshi) even refuted me at the review meeting. There must be something fishy about him too!"
Because of the suggestion of benign consciousness multiplication, Erwin would unconsciously protect Nishimiya Tsutomu: "It is still impossible to judge whether Captain Nishimiya is actively cooperating or being held hostage... But I think that no matter what, it is necessary to recover him now!"
Everyone nodded.
at the same time.
King's capital.
Looking at the military police in front of him, Lord Barut angrily shouted, "If that guy wants to leave the capital, then let him leave. Why is he bothering us with such a trivial matter?"
"Balut!"
The Duke of Savoy, standing nearby, suddenly remembered something and stepped forward to whisper, "I suddenly remembered that Lord Rhodes had just visited Xigong Siyi yesterday afternoon, and something happened that evening... Isn't that too... coincidental?"
