Bab 367: First Win

( Eren's POV )

Eren crouched low in the dense underbrush, his eyes fixed on the human village nestled in the valley below, just a couple kilometers from his current location

From this vantage point on the forest line, he could see the crude wooden palisades that encircled the settlement, the watchtowers where sentries kept vigilant eyes on the horizon, and the distant figures of villagers going about their evening routines.

This was 'Brisdale', one of the Easternmost village's of the Empire, and the only border village near the Eastern boundary where the initial demon attack had failed with the humans repelling the previous attempt to capture it.

Because of its strategic location, this village was particularly notorious to capture and hence was one of the only border villages that had not already been vacated by the Empire.
