Chapter 44

"Surprisingly, you can kill a Titan with your bare hands; your strength is quite impressive."

Just as the Titan fell, a voice sounded in Tang Cheng's ear. The speaker was a young man with a baby face, his eyes fixed on Tang Cheng, a faint smile on his face.

In addition to him, there were two men and one woman, a total of three people standing on the roof opposite Tang Cheng. Although they were wearing the uniform of the Garrison Regiment, Tang Cheng felt that they were clearly different from the soldiers of the Garrison Regiment.

"Ah, I get it!" Tang Cheng looked at them a few times, suddenly realizing, and struck his palm with his fist, "You guys are the legendary Four Heavenly Kings, right? The Bird King, the Not King, the Pull King, and the Shit King?"

"You are the Bird-Not-Pull-Shit King! Your whole family is the Bird-Not-Pull-Shit King!" The girl with an ordinary face immediately roared, "Even an idiot should know who we are when they see us. Do you even have a brain?"

Tang Cheng's face immediately turned serious, "You can insult my intelligence, but... even if you are the Four Heavenly Kings of Bird-Not-Pull-Shit, I won't let you take away my chance to show off!"

"You're crazy!" The ordinary-faced girl cursed, then looked at the three men beside her with a look of despair, "I'm sorry, I don't want to communicate with him anymore. It's completely impossible!"

Tang Cheng gave the girl a strange look and said to the three men, "Is this girl on her period? She's crying and laughing, acting so neurotic. It's not good to send her to the battlefield like this, is it?"

The ordinary-faced girl glared at him, barely restraining her urge to rush over and fight Tang Cheng. The three men, meanwhile, were trying hard to maintain a serious expression, but the laughter in their eyes was impossible to hide.

Finally, the older, more mature young man said, "I think we don't need to introduce ourselves to each other. We know your purpose, but to be frank..."

"The front lines are not a place for rookies like you. If you don't want to die, find a place to hide properly!" The young man with a bad face shouted at the trainees before he could finish.

The trainees felt belittled and were all angry, but on the one hand, they were trainees and thus one level below the Garrison Regiment members, and on the other hand, these four had flown in from the front lines, killing several Titans along the way. Due to their strength and status, many people dared not argue.

"I don't agree with that. Titans are the enemies of all humanity. Whether or not they have the ability, those who dare to fight Titans are always respectable. At least to me, they are much more adorable than those cowards who only shout from safe places... although they indeed have no real skills," Tang Cheng shook his head and said.

The trainees were deeply moved. Although Tang Cheng had just mocked them harshly, reducing them to nothing, he was indeed standing up for his fellow trainees in front of outsiders... of course, the last sentence was unnecessary.

"You talk well, but this is just an excuse for you to bring them out, isn't it!" The ordinary-faced girl immediately countered.

"That's not my fault. They insisted on following me."

"Didn't you stop them?" The ordinary-faced girl said sternly. Although she knew this plot existed in the original story, and even without Tang Cheng, these trainees would still head to the front lines, she decided to be unreasonable because Tang Cheng had been unreasonable earlier. "You have some skills and aren't afraid to fight Titans, but have you considered their lives? To show off, you bring these untested rookies to such a place. Can you bear the trust they place in you? If we hadn't discovered the situation in time and rushed over, they would have been dead by now!"

Although she was being unreasonable, her words were not without merit. Just a moment ago, several Titans had approached, and it was these four who had dealt with them. The trainees had seen this with their own eyes. Honestly, without these four, they would have been surrounded, and with Tang Cheng losing his mobility, their fate would have been clear.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, even the annoying man had a stunned look, the ordinary-faced girl felt a sense of satisfaction.

"Turns out... you guys are good people!" Tang Cheng stared at the four for a moment, then suddenly shed tears of emotion... actually, it was the smoke from the Titan's corpse that made him cry. He was standing on the Titan's corpse, and the smoke from the decaying body made his eyes water.

Huh? What does that mean? The four were confused.

Tang Cheng wiped his tears and said, "I thought you were just showing off your skills and looking down on these rookie trainees, but I didn't expect you to care so much about their lives. I really judged you unfairly... Since you are such good people, can you lend me your立体机动装置 (3D maneuver gear) for a bit?"

As he spoke, Tang Cheng leaped onto the roof and reached for the 3D maneuver gear on the ordinary-faced girl's waist.

"Pervert! What are you doing?" The ordinary-faced girl was genuinely frightened and instinctively flew to the side.

Although Tang Cheng was fast, he couldn't fly, and with the ordinary-faced girl flying away, he was helpless. He could only look at the three men with hopeful eyes.

The three men shuddered simultaneously and quickly scattered.

"Damn! Are you still going to be good people? I really misjudged you!"

The four avoided his gaze. The older young man awkwardly coughed and turned to the trainees, "I know your gas is running low and you want to resupply at headquarters, but with your skills, it's hard to get close. So the four of us will help clear the nearby Titans, and you can take the opportunity to rush in. But remember... don't act rashly without our orders!"

"Ah... Uh! Okay!" The trainees were initially stunned, then overjoyed. If these powerful warriors helped them, their chances of survival would increase significantly. The only surprise was that these proud seniors, who had been condescending to them, were now so concerned about them.

"Roar!!!"

At that moment, a loud voice suddenly rang out, like a monster's roar, echoing in everyone's ears.

Not far away, a 15-meter-tall Elf Titan with pointed ears emerged from behind a tall tower, quickly approaching another Titan of similar size, and then... bang!

The Elf Titan punched with great force, instantly decapitating the other Titan. The headless body slowly fell, and the Elf Titan raised its foot and stomped on the other Titan's neck... again and again. In just a moment, the other Titan had evaporated and rotted.

Then, the Elf Titan raised its head, its black, bloodthirsty eyes fixed on the distant Titans...

"How is this possible! Titans are... killing Titans?" The trainees looked at this scene in disbelief.

"Haha, finally, it's here." The ordinary-faced girl, however, looked at the Elf Titan with an excited gleam in her eyes.

"Senior, do you know what that is?" Someone asked urgently.

"Uh!" The ordinary-faced girl was startled, realizing she had said something she shouldn't. She quickly corrected herself, "What else could it be besides a Titan? But it's rare for a Titan to attack other Titans. We can try to lure it to headquarters, which should make it easier for us to break through."

"How can we possibly do that?"

"We can!" With a cold voice, Mika quickly flew over and landed steadily on the roof. Behind her, a bald young boy was carrying a blonde boy in a princess hold... the scene was too beautiful to look at.

Mika looked at the Elf Titan and said to everyone, "When I fell and was attacked by a Titan, he saved me. For some reason, he has no interest in humans and only chases other Titans. So I think this plan is feasible... if we clear the nearby Titans and lure him to headquarters, we have a good chance of success, and Eren agrees."

Seeing everyone looking at him, the blonde boy in the princess hold nodded heavily.

"Alright, since you and Mika say so, let's take a chance!" The trainees looked at each other, finally deciding to take the risk. After all, if this plan worked, with the help of this Titan, most of them could survive.

Then, led by the four challengers and Mika, they began to clear the nearby Titans... of course, except for Mika and a few others, most of the trainees couldn't kill Titans alone, so their role was to distract the Titans, while the real attacks were carried out by Mika and the four challengers.

Meanwhile, Tang Cheng, without his 3D maneuver gear, quietly left the roof.

"Sigh, this 3D maneuver gear is really troublesome. If this keeps up, I'll lose all my chances to show off."

Tang Cheng muttered to himself. As he walked, he suddenly heard a clear voice behind him, "Hey, where are you going?"

Tang Cheng turned around and saw a beautiful blonde girl with blue eyes, slightly petite, with soft facial features and clear, water-like eyes. She gave the impression of being a very gentle girl. Although she wasn't as handsome as San Ye, she was far more feminine.

"Are you talking to me?" Tang Cheng asked instinctively.

"Um." The girl nodded and ran over to him.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Tang Cheng was initially puzzled as to why the girl had called him, but seeing her action, he suddenly realized. He raised his hand to block her and said regretfully, "Girl, I like girls with your kind of temperament, but I have very strict requirements for a woman's chest. Generally, girls with a bust size less than C don't qualify to be liked by me. From what I can see, your bust size is probably only B, so... if you're going to confess to me, I can only regretfully reject you. Please don't make things difficult for yourself or me."
