Levi debilitates the Female Titan at incredibly high speed so that she can't even crystallize her skin in time. He injures his leg when saving Mikasa but is able to retrieve Eren from the Female Titan's mouth, as she is now badly wounded and slumped against a tree. The Scout Regiment somberly retrieve the corpses of their fallen and begin the journey home. On the way, they are chased by two Titans. One is killed by Mikasa and they outrun the second after Levi orders them to dispose of the corpses to lighten the wagon's load. Eren wakes up and finds that they are back in town behind Wall Sina. The townspeople not only berate the Scout Regiment's ineptitude but are enraged over the casualties. As a result of the failed expedition, Erwin and his subordinates are summoned to the capital, where Eren is ordered to be handed over.
