The frail mother kept bowing to Alvin Smith, and then, with tears in her eyes, she solemnly bowed to Lin Yan and said...

"Thank you all, my son was able to return safely this time."

Many of the new recruits in the Survey Corps waved to each other, most of them seeing their families welcoming them, and their eyes were moist.

"The Survey Corps is back!!! Welcome back!!"

Although the Survey Corps suffered considerable casualties this time, compared to previous mortality rates, they were able to escape unscathed. The safe return of most of the soldiers lightened the atmosphere, filling it with the excitement and bittersweetness of reunion.

"Compared to before, this time is really not bad."

"That's right. The previous mortality rate was exceptionally high. The fact that so many people came back alive must be thanks to the God of War."

"The God of War is amazing!!"

Meanwhile, a little boy with a missing front tooth, along with several other children, excitedly watched the returning expedition team, their smiles radiant.

He pointed at Lin Yan and shouted loudly.

"Look, that's the God of War! I'll be thirteen in six years, and I'm definitely going to join the training corps then."

"I also want to become a warrior as great as the God of War."

"Long live the God of War!!"

I saw longing and admiration in the child's eyes.

faith.

hope.

This is the hope for humanity's future.

The bloody battle was over, and the sun rose again for a new day. Everything seemed to return to peace once more. Sunlight streamed in through the windows, bathing the simple tables, chairs, and beds. A languid figure rose and gazed out the window.

Fluffy hair, sleepy eyes.

The pajamas were a little disheveled.

And many people on the platform were discussing one thing.

"It is said that this expedition has yielded no results again. Last time, they were so confident about something, something about Captain Levi."

"What kind of war god? Does he think he should be grateful just because fewer people died?"

"Should we be able to close the city gates this time? The city gates were specifically for their investigation outside the walls, but it seems that the investigation outside the walls has been completely ineffective."

"Exactly, sealing off the city gates is the best option. It's the safest choice..."

Those who are gloating are all conservatives.

They wanted to seal the city gates, believing that this would make the area inside the walls absolutely safe, even at the cost of their freedom and dignity.

Of course, there were also some who expressed their dissatisfaction. These were not members of the Survey Corps, but rather members of the Wall Cult. These people believed that any alteration to the walls would be a desecration of the sacred walls.

"What did you say? Block the city gates? You mean you want to defile the great, sacred walls with human hands?"

"The Wall of Mary, the Wall of Rose, the Wall of Sina... To defile these three great goddesses with human hands!! Such a shameful act must never be allowed, for they are our sacred goddesses, and cannot be defiled."

Some people are dismissive and unwilling to cause trouble.

"Those are people who worship city walls."

"These people are still here... How despicable."

"Forget it. Let's not cause trouble. Those people are really annoying; they're everywhere!"

"That kind of guy is still around!!" one of the middle-aged men with a Mediterranean complexion said through gritted teeth with a disdainful look.

Stokes District.

Military Police Regiment Branch.

"It's finally here!"

A girl with short, ear-length hair said with a smile, "We're finally here."

This young woman is Hitch Delis, a soldier in the Military Police.

Hitch Delis and Marlowe are both new female recruits in the Stobace District Military Police branch. They are gradually influenced by the loose atmosphere within the Military Police.

It is said that Marlowe also reminded her, "You've been too lazy lately."

She was unhappy that her superiors were assigning her tasks.

She is a simple-minded and optimistic girl who displays a high level of alertness and responsiveness when patrolling with Marlowe.

He and Annie are roommates in the military police regiment. He finds Annie's sleeping posture too terrifying to wake her up.

His tone and attitude were flippant, and he mocked his fellow recruits as idiots. After Marlowe explained his ideals, he burst into laughter and pounded the ground.

In reality, he is a straightforward and kind person. He is indignant about the many civilians who were killed in the Survey Corps' second operation to capture the Female Titan, and he is also indignant because he mistakenly believes that Annie died as a result.

After Eren was kidnapped by the Military Police, he was ordered to search for the Survey Corps with Marlowe, but was instead taken hostage. He also learned the truth that the Survey Corps had been framed and that Annie was actually an undercover Titan.

Later, he and Marlowe transferred to assist the Survey Corps and successfully helped the New Levi Squad find the Central Military Police's base.

After being exonerated from wrongful conviction by the Survey Corps, she went with Hange and Marlowe to inform the new Levi Squad. She had tried to stop Marlowe from transferring to the Survey Corps and was dissatisfied with his decision.

"Your sleeping posture is too scary, I didn't dare to wake you up."

A whole row of soldiers had already lined up in the corridor.

It was Annie who arrived late.

After the last expedition, Annie decided to sneak back inside the city walls, even though she would be homeless if she returned to Malaya.

Their fate might be even more tragic.

Hitch Delis smiled mysteriously, "Sorry, Annie."

"You've been too lax lately."

Beside Hitch Delis was Marlowe, a male soldier staring at Xiguan Pitou.

Marlo Sand is a rare individual in the military police who is serious and upright. He is determined to rectify the atmosphere of the military police and claims that he doesn't care if he has to be a scoundrel in order to climb up the ranks. However, once he takes power, he will make the corrupt bureaucrats in the military police pay the price.

"What? You're angry so quickly? Seriously?"

"What a cold-hearted guy!"

The two of them talked back and forth.

Annie, however, remained indifferent.

He seemed indifferent to all of this.

Another soldier chimed in, "Don't bother her. Annie came all the way from the Trost District. She's the only one in this unit with real combat experience. She's still recovering from her injuries, hasn't she? After all, she just went through hell."

hell.

It truly is hell.

Even those who have never seen hell know that it is a hell that can drive people to the brink of collapse, and how pitiful are the people who crawl out of hell.

"Huh?"

Hitch Delis's eerie smile was still on her face as she glanced at the soldier and said in a teasing, irreverent tone.

"Really? You're interested in her."

This statement was full of sarcasm, and its arrogant tone made the man want to punch her.

"What's so good about this kind of girl?"

"Hisaki, there's only one way for a stupid woman like you to join the Military Police."

"Huh? What do you mean? I don't understand."

Hitch Delis said nonchalantly.

"Stop arguing, you two."

at this time.

The person walking from a distance was just a muddle-headed junior officer.

"The work you're doing today is different from the usual chores, which is why I called you all here. Regarding the Survey Corps being recalled to the capital, their itinerary today is to pass through the central avenue of this town. Escorting them is the responsibility of the Military Police Headquarters, so we only need to be responsible for the town they pass through. During this time, the use of 3D Maneuver Gear is permitted within the town."

Even the military police are restricted from using 3D maneuver gear within towns.

Approval will only be granted in special circumstances.

For example, this operation.

"You will travel alongside the escort team and increase security."

"In addition, we will take a ferry to the location where the security operation begins."

"above."

The task assignment was complete, but Marlo Sander had a question: "May I ask a question?"

"what?"

"Are we here to protect the escort team from attack by anyone?"

This is indeed a rather strange mission.

Generally speaking, the greatest threat to humanity comes from outside the walls—the giants. Why then is there such vigilance even inside the walls? Are they protecting against threats from humanity itself, not attacks from the giants?

This puzzled him greatly.

"Within these walls, I have never heard of anyone rebelling against the monarchy. Although there are some minor criminals, it is hard to imagine an organized rebellion without a base outside the walls... Moreover, the motives are unclear."

"Wow, you're really serious."

His statement was rather unusual.

It doesn't sound like a compliment.

"I'm leaving everything to you."

Marlo Sander was somewhat flustered; he had indeed been passed over for scapegoating. This meant that from now on, whatever problems arose, Marlo Sander would be held accountable, not his superior officer. In this corrupt military police regiment, such incidents were commonplace, and no one dared to step forward.

What does it mean to serve one's country?

What is meant by protecting human peace?

Those are dreams that only children would laugh at; their only goal is to live a stable life inland.

"Our commander is very busy, so you'll have to handle things yourselves. But don't mess it up, or you'll be held responsible."

The junior officer had a shifty look on his face. After saying that, he turned and left.

Hitch Delis said dismissively, "It seems this organization is even more corrupt than I imagined; no wonder it has such a bad reputation."

"However, that's precisely why she chose this place—because of her fair skin—so there's nothing to complain about now."

"But during basic training, they practically dumped all the work on us... Honestly, I had no idea..."

"A bunch of scum!! Scum who only think of themselves!"

"Mahlil Sander said through gritted teeth, his face contorted with rage."

"Huh? What are you talking about? From the moment you chose to join the Military Police, weren't you one of them?"

“We’re not the same kind of people,” Marlo Sand retorted. “I’m not like you scum. I’m here to straighten out the military police.”

"Wow, that's really impressive, Marlowe."

Although Hitch clapped and smiled, it was a smile of utter disdain. In his eyes, Marlowe was nothing more than an arrogant clown.
