Dot Pixis creates a team to formulate a plan to recapture Trost, Gustav is included in that team. He later hears a plan from Armin and states all the risks. He tells Armin that if the central part of the plan remains unknown, then it is like leading soldiers to their death. He is later seen telling the commander about the soldiers who had been "lost" during their mission. Commander Pixis replies that they had not died from being lost, but because he had ordered them to do so and would gladly accept the punishment of a mass murderer if the mission fails.
