In the Strategy room the Garrison guard grabs Erwin’s collar 

Captain: What the hell are you thinking, Erwin?! Keep the citizens in the city without evacuating!? By the time it’s down, that Titan will be down on us! 

Hange: That Titan is an abnormal. 

Captain: What the hell does that even mean!? 

Hange: It behaves strangely and is 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 a fortified city. If right now, you were to evacuate the citizens within Wall Sina, it would be drawn towards them, destroying the wall and in its path. In the end, it would reach Mitras, with the greatest density of people, and deliver a devastating blow to humanity. On our way back, we attempted to use Eren Yeager power to control Titan, but Rod Reiss’s Titan showed no reaction. 

During the way to Ovrud

Eren swings his hand at Rod’s Titan

Eren: Stop, Titan!

Rod’s Titan continues to crawl, causing Eren to throw more punches 

Eren: Hey, stop! I’m talking to you! Can’t you hear me, idiot!? Rod Reiss that means you! You tiny old man! 

Eren realizes what he said as Levi rides his horse behind him 

In the strategy room

Erwin: If we are to stop that Titan, we must do it outside the walls of Orvud District. For that to happen, we must have the citizens act as bait. However, this does not change the fact that our first duty as soldiers is to protect the citizens. Supposing we’re unable to halt the target, we’ll take measures so that not a single citizen is killed. We’ll announce an emergency evacuation drill for Orvud District, so that if needed, the citizens will be ready to evacuate at once. 

Captain: Very well. It seems there’s no choice.

Erwin: The body of our target is the largest we’ve ever seen. As such, it presents an easy target. Wall-mounted cannons should prove highly effective,but…If that’s not enough to bring down… The Scout Regiment will throw everything we have at it. 

Y/N: We understand, sir. 

Nanaba: If it means throwing are lifes away to kill this thing, we’re ready to do so. 

At dawn the Scouts and Garrison line up the cannons as the Titan gets closer to the wall. In the city a garrison guard gathers everyone in the city

Garrison: As part of this, drill dummy Titans and cannons will be used! It’ll be a large-scale exercise like nothing you’ve ever seen before! However, we ask you not to panic! Remain calm and follow our- 

A man would interrupt her 

Man: Ma’am. I gotta get my store ready for the day, so can’t you let us go home? 

Garrison: Customers won’t be coming today. Take the day off.  

Man: I don’t think so, lady. 

Citizens: What’s with the drill when we’re so far north? What do you mean? I’m saying this is just a demonstration of their power. To prove that the fake King is gone, they’re the ones in control. So, we’re being dragged through this for no reason at all? Yeah. At this rate I prefer the fake King, even if he was incompetent. H-Hey! Look over there! 

A civilian points over the wall as a massive amount of smoke gets closer to the wall

Garrison: Smoke?
