AUTHOR'S POV:

The Survey Corps were now going through a broken, abandoned city.

Leading the charge were Erwin, Mike, and Hange.

Mike looked to the side and Hange turned her head as well, hearing loud footsteps.

"10-meter approaching from the left!" Mike informed.

The brown-haired Titan with a large, protruding belly was approached them.

"I am very interested in seeing what's inside its stomach." Hange replied.

Two Scouts flew toward it.

"But I'll leave it to the support team!" Hange said.

Titan tried to swat the first soilder but missed. The soilder quickly flew by its nape, cutting it's nape.

"Shit! Not deep enough."

"Defend the formation!" The other Scout yelled.

The Titan tried to grab him but he dodged. It swatted at the rooftops to try to get him.

Sasha was looking at them with an terrified expression.

"Stay strong!" Her squad leader grabbed her head, turning it forward. "Leave it to the support team, and keep going!"

The soldiers raced straight ahead.

"Onward!"
.
.

The levi squad was discussing about the formation. The formation chart was open on the ground.

"The support teams will only accompany us to the old city area" Gunther said. "Once we're past that, it's completely Titan territory. The long-range scouting formation devised by Commander Erwin is our only hope."

Eren listened intently.

"We, the special ops squad, are here."
.
.

"Oluo, do you think the recruits can beat the Titans?" Eren asked while riding his horse.

"What have you been doing the past month? Listen, brat, the most crucial part of an expedition is in how you avoid fighting Titans-" Oluo was interrupted when he bit his tongue.
.

The soldiers had reached the outskirts of the city. He commanded.

Erwin threw out his left arm. "Go into long-range scouting formation!"

Groups of soldiers began to split off from the main host.

"See ya, Armin" Reiner said and moved away.

"Take care Armin." Faye said, falling back on Armin's left.

"You too, Faye." Armin replied.

.

The formation was made up of five parts. The vanguard, row 1, in the front. The center, row 5, the safest place, with communication on either side, rows 2 and 3. Between communication and the center were the supply carts, row 4. Each of the rows was further split up into sections.
.
.

"Position yourselves at fixed intervals." Erwin commanded. "The vanguard is to spread out in a semi-circle. But stay within visual range of one another." He continued. "Extend the recon and communication range as far as possible."
.

Armin was riding through a lone place. There was a building and a few trees. He looked around, breathing audible. There was a second horse tied to his. Then two birds took off to the skies and his head snapped up.

'It's fine.' Armin assured himself. 'Calm down!'

A shot rang through the air. He looked up to see a red flare.
