Vol 4.4 - Not Found

My title game is crazy.

Get it? 4.4 is like 404, the error code? Not Found? Clever, right?

Hehehe.

Karaness was deathly quiet, even after the Survey Corps slowly assembled near the gates. People watched on, going on with their days, trying to salvage what was left of their destroyed livelihoods.

Uneasy.

The feeling of wanting to vomit bubbled in Eren's stomach for some reason. His horse seemed to pick up on his emotions and neighed.  Petting his horse calmed him slightly.

"Deep breaths..." He muttered to himself.

"Any second now," Eld said and turned to him. "You alright, kid?"

"Y-yeah...It's just quiet...too quiet..."

"Heh. It does feel a bit eerie, huh?" Petra interjected, pulling up beside them. "But you'll be fine!"

Yeah, he'll be fine. He's got the best fighters humanity has to offer on his side. No matter the adversity, they'd protect him as he would protect them.

It was a perfect system!

Plus, there were nearly 400 other members of the Survey Corps that they would have to go through to get to him. If they weren't bloodied and bruised by then, they'd most certainly get trampled by him. His Titan power was unmatched.

'Yeah...Everything is fine!'

"Open the gate!" Erwin called out. The gate began to rise. "We now begin the 56th Expedition Beyond the Walls! Onward!"

A few minutes later, they were well out in Titan territory. Grassy  fields stretched out far and wide around them with a few small buildings  in the distance. Trees were sparse in the geography except for a  large, looming forest up far away.

After breaking up into the Long Range Scouting formation, designed by Erwin Smith himself, the expedition went on as planned, albeit it lacked the flare that Eren expected.

It was a bit boring, he would admit.

Titans were sighted, including Abnormals, but he was tucked safely in the center of the formation, toward the back. They'd have to get through many squads before reaching him. Despite his fear, he still itched to run out to meet the Titans headfirst. He could handle whatever damage they dealt, the humans couldn't.

But he followed orders and stayed put.

There was a green smoke round and they adjusted accordingly.

Then a man arrived.

"Reporting in! Attack from the rear," he told Levi. "Right flank recon has been destroyed! Our recon system is partially inoperative. Pass this on to the left."

A sinking feeling reached his stomach.

No way...

'The right flank? Isn't that where Armin and Jean are? Or am I forgetting something?'

"Did you hear that Petra?" Levi spoke out. "Go."

"Yes, sir." She veered off to the left.

"But he said the entire right flank's been wiped out! Shouldn't we check—"

"No, Eren." Levi's tone left no room for argument, moving forward.

The brunette wanted to push further for answers but kept quiet waiting for any sort of explanation. It was nagging at him, a feeling that told him that he had just gotten many of his comrades killed.
