The New Era Arrives: Giant World

Chapter 34 The Prelude to the Storm in the Eldian Empire

Thus, Zeke Yeager and the other nine, along with the previously severely weakened Annie Leonard, recovered from their injuries near the ancient walls of the Eldian Empire. Zeke Yeager and the others then engaged in a heated discussion, deciding to infiltrate the empire. Meanwhile, Zeke Yeager knew that his parents and some elite members of the remaining Eldian forces were within the empire. Using the Eldian remnants' special communication methods, Grisha Yeager and his members, along with their elite members, also received the message within the Eldian Empire. Grisha Yeager used the special communication methods of the remnants of the ancient Eldian Empire to have them clear out the strange creatures near the Eldian Empire so they could be brought into the Eldian Empire. Meanwhile, Zeke Yeager, upon receiving this message, immediately organized nine others to demonstrate their formidable strength, quickly clearing out the strange creatures near the ancient Eldian Empire and collecting a large quantity of medicinal herbs. After some time, Zeke Yeager relayed this message back through the ancient Eldian Empire's special communication methods. Then, Grisha Yeager led his herb-gathering team to collect some medicinal herbs near the ancient walls of the Eldian Empire. Because Grisha Yeager led his herb-gathering team to collect some... Medicinal herbs became a regular feature, so the garrison commander of the Imperial Army stationed here organized his members to check outside and found no strange species. He assumed that they had been wiped out by the Imperial Army members investigating the area. This was because the entire Imperial Army was a regular customer of Grisha Yeager's clinic, so they knew that Grisha Yeager often liked to collect medicinal herbs near the Eldian Empire and therefore frequently cleared out strange species in the vicinity of the Eldian Empire. They also warned them to be careful because Grisha Yeager was a well-known figure in the Eldian Empire, from nobles and high-ranking leaders to ordinary people and members of the Imperial Army. So sometimes they turned a blind eye because their relatives and friends, as well as themselves, had all received his treatment. Meanwhile, Grisha Yeager and his herb-gathering team, having emerged from the ancient walls of the Eldian Empire, spent some time locating ten children nearby. Upon reaching them, they discovered that one of the children was his son, and the others were the grandsons of nine other chieftains. Grisha Yeager then asked his son, Zeke Yeager, if he had prepared enough herbs. Zeke Yeager replied to his father, "I have collected a large quantity." Grisha Yeager then instructed the herb-gathering team to load the herbs collected from the ten children onto a cart. He then had his son and the nine grandsons hide under the herbs, and hastily constructed over a dozen small supports for them to lie on, each with a small breathing opening. He told them that if they reached the entrance to the Eldian Empire, they must hold their breath when he spoke to avoid being detected. Once inside the ancient Eldian Empire, they could breathe normally until they reached a safe place where they would be disguised and taken to their inn. After some time, Grisha Yeager and his herb-gathering team arrived at the entrance of the Eldian Empire with several cartloads of medicinal herbs. The Imperial Army platoon leader and his men stationed at the entrance of the ancient wall of the Eldian Empire breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Grisha Yeager and his herb-gathering team return, as they had been away for quite some time and were afraid that something might have happened, making it difficult to face the rest of the Imperial Army. At this moment, Grisha Yeager addressed the garrison commander and his men at the entrance to the ancient wall of the Eldian Empire, apologizing for the long time spent collecting all the medicinal herbs in the vicinity. The garrison commander replied that it was best that they had returned, and that the large quantity of herbs they had collected could save many lives. He then opened the door to the entrance to the ancient wall of the Eldian Empire. Upon hearing Grisha Yeager's words, the ten men held their breath. Grisha Yeager and the herb-gathering team then returned to the Eldian Empire with a cart loaded with a large quantity of herbs. After some time, they arrived at a large house where the herbs were stored and neatly arranged in their respective places. Next, Grisha Jaeger and his herb-gathering team categorized the large quantity of medicinal herbs they had brought back. They grouped identical herbs together and separated those that were not identical. After some time, Grisha Jaeger and his team had created a hidden basement in the shadows of the large room and carefully concealed it. Then, Grisha Jaeger and his team brought his son, Zeke Jaeger, and the grandsons of the nine chieftains to the hidden basement. They then isolated Zeke Jaeger and asked his son, "What are you doing here? Are you carrying instructions from the 145th generation ancient emperor of the Eldian Empire, a remnant of the ancient Eldian Empire?" Following Zeke Yeager's exile to this place, a major event occurred: the Marleyan Empire engaged in a decisive battle with the other three empires, resulting in heavy losses for the Eldian people remaining on the island. All four empires suffered severe damage and are now recuperating. The Marleyan Empire barely managed to hold its own against the combined forces of the three empires in this decisive battle. They then realized that having only the eight Titans was not enough, so they devised a plan to seize the power of the 145th Ancient Emperor of the Eldian Empire, and then unite with the eight Titans to defeat the combined forces of the three empires and become the rulers of the world. Meanwhile, the confidants of the 145th Ancient Emperor of the Eldian Empire, lurking in the shadows, learned of their plan and tasked me and the grandsons of the nine chieftains with vying for the inheritance of the Eight Titans' power. Their aim was to thwart their sinister scheme and to cooperate with the new Ancient Emperor of the Eldian Empire. Thus, the Marleyan Empire's rulers and administrators established a strict selection process: a chaotic free-for-all, a final duel. In the final duel, we won the positions of inheritors of the Eight Titans' power, and the two extra were assigned to take care of our daily lives. Grisha Yeager also revealed the intelligence they had secretly gathered over the years to Zeke Yeager and the grandsons of the nine chieftains. The Eldian Empire had been renamed the Eldian Empire by the 145th Ancient Emperor, who also changed his surname to Reiss. He was an emperor without real power on the surface, but one who held real power in the shadows. Meanwhile, both the current and former emperors of the Eldian Empire inherited the empire's legacy, dedicating themselves to developing a peaceful state and addressing the empire's problems. Furthermore, to prevent future generations from harboring ambitions to conquer the world, the first emperor of the Eldian Empire forged a pact with the first queen of the ancient Eldian Empire. This pact ensured that every subsequent ruler of the Eldian Empire would inherit its contents, refusing any act of aggression against people outside the island, not even a thought of it, because they were strictly bound by these restrictions. Moreover, the consciousness of the Eldian emperor would be chained and imprisoned upon entering dimensional space. This resulted in the three generations of Eldian emperors and the previous emperor continuously correcting and improving various aspects of the Eldian Empire, leading its people to a paradise. Crises were handled by the five great imperial armies of the Eldian Empire. Grisha Yeager also informed them that all members of the five great imperial armies were formidable, capable of cooperating to kill dozens of strange species. Furthermore, the leaders of the five great imperial armies were incredibly powerful, each capable of killing several groups of strange creatures. After exchanging detailed information and precautions, the ten people dressed up as mascots for the clinic to appease the various patients. Once they were dressed, Zeke Jaeger asked his father why he hadn't seen his mother. Grisha Jaeger then led Zeke Jaeger to a clinic room where he found Dana Fritz, who was in a coma. Upon seeing his mother's condition, Zeke Jaeger asked his father why she was in this state. Grisha Jaeger explained that after their exile, his mother had encountered various events on her journey and had fallen into this state from which she couldn't wake up. At this moment, Karla Jaeger, who had been caring for the comatose Dana Fritz, entered. Seeing Zeke Jaeger, she noticed his striking resemblance to the comatose Dana Fritz and asked, "Is this your relative's daughter?" Grisha Jaeger awkwardly replied, "This is my relative's son." Zeke Jaeger, however, hadn't changed much; he had always been mistaken for a girl because of his striking resemblance to his mother. Meanwhile, Zeke Jaeger also learned that this was his father's way of hiding their identities and members. So Zeke Jaeger politely greeted Karla Jaeger, and then Grisha Jaeger took Zeke Jaeger to look after Eren Jaeger. Because Eren Jaeger was aloof and longed for the world outside the walls of the ancient Eldian Empire, he had only two friends in the past few years: Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arnold. However, because he looked very much like his mother, his father gave him a girl's name and raised him as a daughter. As a result, he was always surrounded by a group of suitors. However, because he longed for the world outside the walls of the ancient Eldian Empire, he had no true friends, only a group of suitors who admired his stunning appearance.
