The Long-Distance Enemy Scouting Formation, arranged by Commander Erwin himself. It was a plan devised for specifically looking amongst the plains while increasing the chances of soldiers survival. The most valuable assets of the formation were to remain in the center while other groups would stay towards the East, West, North, and South side. When one group encounters a Titan, they would shoot a flare. Color depending on the situation. Red would signal that a Titan has penetrated the formation, Black would be an Abnormal, and purple would be an emergency. This would alert Erwin more quickly and give him the chance to react to the situation accordingly.

Sam began to reply but I hushed them. Now was not the time for them to begin fighting.
Petra would focus on Levi, Oulo would steal peeks of Petra, and Gunter would notice and laugh.
Armin's Pov It pulled my hood down, and looked me straight in the eye. The blue eyes flared down into mine and it let out a hushed breath against my skin. It looked at me for the longest time, before putting my hood back on my head gently, getting up, and running off.
W-w-what....
I sat on my knees, shocked. I had no clue what to do next. I had just witnessed the leader of the group get swung around like a piece of a string.
Corpses lay splattered against the ground disoriented or covered in their own blood.
