It was an unexpected ambush. The familiar sounds of the ziplines and grapple hooks of the maneuvering gears had brought back various memories of Pieck's time at Paradis Island. No doubt about it, they're here to cause as much damage as the ones that were done to their homeland.
Pieck stands atop a sturdy building, already shifted into her Cart Titan form and armored with rifles and a cannon for defense against the attackers.
On the outside, her titan is unable to show any sort of expression, but within the nape, where her body controls the titan, Pieck is somewhat worried. These types of maneuvering gears aren't what she's seen before. From the look of how well the enemy squads are able to maneuver and launch their rockets, it's evident that they have taken quite the precautions and received several upgrades.
The sounds of zippings, explosions, and gunshots fill the night as the two sides battle against one another. Pieck's unit, the Panzer Unit, continues their assault, taking the enemies' lives one by one as she strategizes. They're here for Zeke.
"Protect the War Chief's rear!" Pieck's Cart Titan roars as she turns her titan's body towards where Zeke's beast titan is, ordering her unit to shoot any enemies that move towards Zeke.
