Attack on Titan: The Show Season 3

Chapter 9 Ruler of the Walls

"How do you intend to evacuate the citizens in time?" Carsten asked Erwin.

"We won't evacuate." Erwin said. "We'll have the citizens remain in Orvud District just as they are."

"Still, I wonder how many people are going to die because of it..." Eren frowns.

"I just hope it won't be a big amount..." Armin says.

The scene zoomed out from the forest and landed outside the Orvud District, and eventually, the Titan Rod Reiss noticed the walls and got closer by crawling. The trees that he passed were also on fire. His eyes widened as he continued to get close to the walls.

"The way he crawls is terrifying..." Sasha says.

"Yeah... considering how tall it is, he won't be able to stand up, right?" Hange asks.

"Though the fire and the smoke might be a problem. Even though he's a Pure Titan, that abnormal is different from others." Levi comments.

Back at the meeting, Carsen grabbed Erwin's collar and demanded, "What the hell are you thinking, Erwin?! Keep the citizens in the city without evacuating?! By the time it's dawn, that Titan will be all over us!"

Hange said, "That Titan is an Abnormal."

"What the hell does that even mean?!" Carsen asked.

"Seriously? The Garrison didn't know what is an Abnormal?" Connie asks.

"They probably never met a Titan before." Eren grunts.

"The target Titan is strangely attracted to high concentrations of people. Hence, Abnormal. It means the fellow will turn a blind eye to a small village, ignoring it in favor of reaching this fortified city."

Just then, a picture of Captial Mitras and Orvud Districted was shown. A red arrow signaled the path where Rod was heading, and the blue human figures were in Orvud District.

"Wow... I can't believe you even show that, Ray." Hange says. "I wonder if we can pause a little so we can draw this?"

"Of course, you can." Ray says with a smile.

"If right now, you were to evacuate the citizens within Wall Sina, it would be drawn towards them, destroying the wall and all in its path." A blue arrow with the citizens was headed northwest, and the Red arrow with the Titan also changed direction, and it destroyed the wall.

"In the end, it would reach Mitras, with the greatest density of people..." A picture of Rod Reiss Titan destroying the wall was shown, and citizens were trying to run away. "...and deliver a devastating blow to humanity."

"Oh my god..." Historia frowns.

Eren, Mikasa, and Armin remembered the time when Bertolt broke Wall Maria, and they shiver a little and wonder if this will happen again.

The Garrison was terrified, and behind Hange, the Scouts were calm. "On our way back, we attempted to use Eren Yeager's power to control the Titans, but..." The scene showed Eren connected with the smiling Titan. "... Rod Reiss' Titan showed no reaction."

"Wait, what?" Jean asks, "Then how did Eren manage to control those Pure Titans?"

"I think there must be some sort of condition that needs to be met..." Armin says.

Ray says, "There actually is. But it is clearly impossible for now."

This causes everyone to look at Ray with confusion, but Eren seems to understand what she's implying.
