Chapter 149.1: Executing the Plan!
At four o'clock in the morning, near the hole in the wall..
Clouds of smoke rose from the chimneys of the houses from time to time in the light breeze.
The civilians inside the Rose Wall started their new day with the presence of a slight fear.
Three holes appeared in the wall of the Rose, but not a single titan managed to reach the civilians.
The nobles inside the first wall couldn't accommodate civilians from the second wall, and the first wall's gates only opened in the most emergency situations.
If they opened the gate and let ordinary people in, they would have to feed them from their personal supplies, including those of the royal family. As long as the Titans didn't break through the Rose Wall, the royal family wouldn't let ordinary people inside the first wall.
Because of this, ordinary people could only return to their homes and start a new day under the threat of the titan invasion.
A clear morning did not dispel the gloom in the hearts of civilians. The realization that the Titans could invade at any moment was present in everyone's minds.
Everyone was worried about one question.
«When will they break in?»
But even though it was very dangerous right now, life had to go on.
By this time, the Military Police were stationed on the Sina wall. All of them had UPM, but they were holding old firearms in their hands.
These weapons wouldn't be able to deal with Titans, but they were effective against ordinary people or people from other corps who didn't want to fight Titans. They just needed to "keep an eye" on the scouting corps that was sent to protect the three holes.
As the chief of a Military Police regiment, Niall Doc had even more power than some nobles, but he was also the most obedient subordinate of the royal family.
Niall Doc carried a single-shot rifle and kept a sharp eye on the head of the Scouting Corps, Erwin Smith.
He and Erwin were friends in the training building. After completing their training, they chose different paths. Since Erwin was the best, he decided to eventually join the Intelligence Corps.
The Scouting Corps was mainly concerned with studying the world outside the Wall, and the members of this corps were concerned with learning the truth about the world. Since they were forced to fight titans frequently, the death rate in the ranks of the Scout Corps was extremely high, so few people wanted to become part of this corps.
The military police were supposed to protect the royal family and eliminate "unstable factors" within any wall. For example, they were responsible for eliminating some scholars who invented advanced technology, or for destroying sects that forced everyone to think in the same direction. Regardless of whether they were doing the right thing or the wrong thing, as long as their target was hostile to the royal family, they had to destroy that target.
Niall Doc and Erwin had been friends for a long time, but today their positions were opposite.
— Erwin, you don't have to think about the holes in the wall. I've already done myself a great favor by allowing Levi Ackerman and Hanji Zoya to lend some support to the Rose Wall.
Since the Rose Wall was breached in three places, protecting the royal family became a top priority for the military police.
If the situation becomes very bad, the military police will evacuate her to the old underground city.
Rose's wall was breached. In fact, the first force to rush forward was the military police. This force was supposed to provide security inside the walls along with maintaining law and order.
But over time, everything changed. The aristocrats and the royal family issued a joint order that all members of the military police were to be stationed on the wall of Sina, and the military police were to stop the intelligence corps on the wall.
Most likely, the royal family decided that the military police, who had not dealt with the titans for a long time, could not fight against them. But the scouting Corps was different. The Scouting Corps fought the Titans all year round with no rest or days off.
But even though the Rose Wall was breached, its defense was mostly occupied by contractors alone. Only a few people were sent to protect the holes, and only three recruits were sent to the third zone.
The truth was that there was really no one to send to the third zone. Apart from the members of the intelligence corps who often came face-to-face with the titans, more than 2,000 people from the ranks of the military police did not find a single person in their ranks who volunteered to go to the defense of the holes.
Because of this, they couldn't let the people from the scouting corps go there either. After all, if that happened, only they would resist the titans, and then the military police would lose their credibility.
When Eren and the others passed by and saw this scene, Eren became very angry and immediately went there with his friends.
The training corps was neither an intelligence corps nor a military police, so even if they could do something there, it would not harm the military police in any way, and it would even be able to help them, for they could just accept these three people into their ranks if they succeeded.
