Chapter 54 of 139 · volume 13

54. Location of the Counterattack

Kenny Ackerman opens fire on Levi’s group, and the Survey Corps settles where its counterattack must take place.

The meeting in a side street turns into an ambush: Kenny and his men shoot at close range and Levi loses several comrades within seconds. He escapes over the rooftops, pursued by soldiers trained to use their ODM gear against people.

It is now clear who the enemy is and how that enemy fights. The Corps’ preparations are no longer aimed at the territory outside the Walls, but at the power inside Wall Sina.

This chapter appears in volume 13, released on April 9, 2014. In the anime it is adapted in S03E01 — Smoke Signal.
