Basically, the remaining Marleyan forces were regretting that their past abuses, eventually, delivered the literal Devil into wreaking havoc and death onto the world. Hence, the soldier's speech can be seen as an act of regret out of contrition and not necessarily of geniune compassion towards the battered Eldians. It is analogous to someone at death's doorstep and experiencing his or her lifetime flashing throughout an instant and regretting at either not having made good choices thus wasting life away or feeling that dying has come too soon without experiencing other things in life. Whether be Eldian or non-Eldian it doesn't matter anymore because death is not only certain but also coming for them all and nobody is being spared. Changing topic, I do agree with Armin questioning Eren whether the latter feels "free" or Paradis is earning "freedom" after the untold destruction he (Eren) has unleashed. Basically, Armin understanding Eren better than anyone else has made clear Eren's irony for the worst due to the latters' deeds. That is that even after so much death and destruction Eren has brought to humanity he's still trapped and caged within a "wall", and that wall is hatred. Kudos and praise for Isayama-sensei for such hints and subtle allegories. Now, the pressing question isn't whether or not the manga is heading for a world peace ending. The pressing matter is who will stain the hands with Eren's blood in order to stop him for good, because the direction is heading full circle back to the beginning. And, that means the climax of the final confrontation will bring the readers back to Eren, Mikasa, and Armin. |

How much world is left at this point? The speech sounded like it was implying they were the last humans (doubtful, but that's how it felt). And other than the Eren supporters who got killed during the escape/prior battle, there's a ton of Eldians still on Paradis.

I'm wondering something else: It was said, that the attack titan is able to see the future. What are the chances of the author going for a "It's all in Eren's mind"-Ending? |

1. Deus Ex Machina World-Peace ending. 2. It was all just a dream ending. 3. The rumbling stops because the Martha Wayne test is applied on Eren. 4. Isayama-sensei pulling out a "Game of Thrones" a la style ending, although in interviews he said that he would never do that to his audience. |

I mean that part of Leto's plan was for humanity - after his death - to scatter and colonize more worlds, far beyond the reach of his own empire. In AoT, there is the sense that the world is too small to contain both Eldians and non-Eldians. There's nowhere one side can run to that the other can't also reach.
Then again, Leto and Eren have to have different aims. Leto was concerned by survival of the human race as a whole. If that's all Eren wanted, he could have let Zeke condemn the Eldian people to death. |

Yeah, if you want to find a "minus side" on the comparison, the completely different aim and situation is what mostly jumps to the eyes. Assuming there isn't something about Eren that we have completely misunderstood, he wants for the conflict to end in some way, which makes him closer to Lelouch than Leto II, whose plan actually involved the birth of new factions that would inevitably come into conflict with the old ones.
