"Still no progress with Alan?"

After reviewing a document regarding road construction, Xiaohao couldn't help but focus his eyes on Alvin who was sitting on the sofa.

Because he had been assisting Xiaohao in handling administrative matters for nearly a year, Alvin no longer had the sharpness he had before, but the heroic spirit between his brows made him look more stable.

"It's not to say that there has been no progress at all. According to Sanmao's investigation report, Alan seems to have mastered the Attack Titan very well. He is now able to complete partial hardening. With the improvement of his physical fitness, the transformation time has also been extended to twice a day.

But perhaps because he does not have royal blood, even with the help of Christa, Allen's progress in mastering the Founding Titan is very limited. Judging from this progress, he may not be able to master the power of the Rumbling within four years."

After hearing what Alvin said, Xiaohao's originally calm expression suddenly became serious.

Should we say he is worthy of being the protagonist?

Even though the situation in the world inside the wall has become orderly under Xiaohao's management, the other party's personality is so strong that he will not be shaken by such things.

Especially after coming into contact with Christa, because of the special nature of Attack Titan, if Xiaohao guessed correctly, at this time, Alan might have already seen the direction of the future.

And judging from his behavior, this stubborn kid doesn't seem to trust Xiaohao and his group.

"Is it because of limited qualifications, or is it because you are unwilling to master it?"

"Based on previous research, for a character like Allen with a very distinct personality, the latter possibility is probably more likely."

After all, as a veteran who has been promoted from the front line, Erwin is always used to preparing for the worst when dealing with similar incidents. However, even so, he still underestimated Eren, who had the memories of all the previous Attack Titans.

"Now I'm afraid that his unwillingness to control the Founding Titan is just an act."

"So, what should we do now? According to Hanji's calculations on the wall, with our current strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with the rumbling. Even if Helista controls the Founding Titan, there's no way to circumvent the non-war contract."

What Erwin said was right. King Fritz, who wanted to be known as a benevolent monarch but didn't seem to be in charge of things, was indeed a bit irritating. Or, it could be said that judging from the way he signed the non-war pact, he was not worthy of the title of "king".

But it is also because of the other party's inaction that latecomers like Xiaohao are forced to choose a different path.

His fingertips tapped the table unconsciously, and after nearly five minutes of silence, Xiaohao finally spoke.

“Perhaps the plan we made before was a bit too conservative. For a country, if it cannot keep the enemy out of the country, it has actually lost half the battle.

We have already cleaned the room to welcome the guests, but given the current situation, we may have to prepare our formal wear and be prepared to visit someone else's home.

I can’t wait any longer. Four years is too long.”

Having followed Xiaohao for so many years, Alvin naturally knew what the other party meant by his words. However, for the sake of Xiaohao's safety, there was one thing he had to ask clearly.

"So which family should we visit first? The Marley Empire or the Tybur family?"

“Is there any difference?”

"I understand. I'll go prepare the travel plan now."

For the reformists, no, it should be said that for the whole world, Xiaohao is a person who has never appeared in the history and is unlikely to appear again in the future.

Today, the empire within the wall seems to be thriving, but everyone knows that this childlike country exists because of Xiaohao's will.

If the will disappears before the child grows up to be able to stand on his own, then the world will once again fall into its previous hopelessness.

Logically speaking, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Due to the special nature of his position, Alvin should have stopped Xiaohao's behavior.

But before he could say this, when he saw Xiaohao's figure, all that was left in Alvin's mind was to follow him.

Perhaps it was blind faith, or perhaps it was simply because of the other person's unique personality charm. As if he was poisoned, he had no choice but to follow the person in front of him.

Because he always firmly believed in his heart that as long as he followed the other person, he would be able to realize his ideal.

…

The empire within the wall is mainly based on the military corps, and it is indeed lacking in administrative capabilities alone, but when it comes to paper execution, it is incredibly swift and efficient.

According to Xiaohao's will, it took only one night from the birth of the idea of ​​being a guest to the subsequent plan formulation. When Xiaohao started work the next day, the plan was already in front of him.

After all, this is the first trip of the Eldians living on Paradis Island in more than a hundred years. Regardless of the outcome, its symbolic significance is enough to be engraved in history books.

Having been brainwashed for nearly a hundred years, Xiaohao hopes that everyone can go out and see the world if possible. However, considering the situation the empire is facing now, Xiaohao has to make adjustments to the entourage.

Pixis is an old but strong man. Besides being a veteran of the reformists, he is also the commander-in-chief of the garrison corps. His prestige among the reformists is even higher than that of Alvin.

Apart from his shortcoming of being addicted to alcohol, this man is almost flawless. Having him in charge of the empire is enough to make Xiaohao put his mind at ease.

As for the last remaining member, Xiaohao set his sights on Levi, which was different from the friendship or affiliation between him and the others.

After all, they have been together since childhood. Although Xiaohao and Levi are not brothers in name, they are brothers in reality.

A person like Allen is an unstable time bomb. Although Xiaohao has taken Christa away, who knows whether this man who has read the script will do anything weird.

Compared to the threat posed by Eren, Sanmao's power is ultimately too weak, especially when Xiaohao is not around. If Levi is not in charge, he would probably feel uneasy.

There was no excessive explanation, nor any so-called favoritism. After working together for so long, everyone had an inexplicable trust in Xiaohao's considerations.

Of course, this does not include people living on the other side of the sea.

"Hello, Mr. Willy Daiba, my name is Xiaohao, my friends and I are from the distant island of Paradis, maybe you don't know how much effort we have to put in to see you.

Don't be so distant. You should know that we were a family two thousand years ago. Please - sit down!"
