The Military Police of Stohess

"Marlo, there's no benefit to patrolling, why are you so eager? You made me get up so early, I'm so sleepy." A pretty girl with fluffy gray hair yawned and complained to her Comrade.

"Hitch, this is our mission. Didn't the commander personally give the order this morning?" Marlo, sporting a watermelon-shaped haircut, said earnestly.

The gray-haired girl, Hitch, laughed rudely, "Huh? Since when has Marlo ever listened to his superior? I remember who got beaten up by the superior a few days ago?"

Marlo blushed at his Comrade's mockery. A few days ago, he had indeed been punched several times for talking back to his superior. Fortunately, Hitch came over in time, apologizing and saying nice things, which made the superior stop.

Thinking of this, Marlo was filled with indignation. It was clearly that officer extorting the merchants; why? Wasn't the Military Police Brigade supposed to protect the people?

The fists of his superiors, the laziness of his Comrade, and the corruption within the Military Police Brigade completely extinguished the passion that Marlo had when he first joined the Military Police Brigade.

Marlo is currently very dissatisfied with the entire Military Police Brigade. Marlo has even privately said that if he were to become the commander, he would definitely change the Military Police Brigade's atmosphere.

Hitch had overheard Marlo's "dream" and almost burst out laughing. Marlo was really dreaming; they were just two privates from the Stohess District branch of the Military Police Brigade.

That's about it for my life. At best, I might get promoted to a Military Police Brigade Squad Leader something by working my way up, but is that all I'm capable of?

However, Hitch didn't openly criticize Marlo, after all, Marlo was her teammate and friend, and given Hitch's harsh tone, having a friend wasn't easy.

"Why are there so many people up ahead? Let's go take a look." Hitch stood on tiptoe and discovered a large crowd gathered ahead, eager to see what was going on.

Marlo hesitated; they had only patrolled half the distance, and there was still half a block to go.

But Hitch grabbed Marlo and left without saying a word.

"Wait a minute, Hitch, our mission hasn't even started yet..."

"What do I care about missions? Kray doesn't care about any of that. He only cares about the few coppers in his pocket," Hitch said nonchalantly.

Kray was their boss, a guy who spent all his time extorting money from small merchants, always finding all sorts of excuses to squeeze copper coins out of them.

The merchants who were always extorted by him secretly cursed him as a vampire.

In the end, Marlo reluctantly pulled him over.

"What? So many Soldiers, all Military Police Brigade Soldiers!" Marlo exclaimed, but what followed made Marlo gasp for breath.

He pointed somewhat tremblingly to the carriages behind the large group of Soldiers. On the carriages were Iron Bar cages, and inside the cages were Soldiers dressed in Wings of Freedom uniforms, all tightly bound and gagged.

"It's the Survey Corps, didn't it all say so in the newspapers? The Survey Corps betrayed humanity, and they've all been arrested," Hitch said nonchalantly.

Marlo fell silent. "The Survey Corps, betrayed humanity?" Marlo didn't quite believe that the Survey Corps would betray humanity, after all, he had known since childhood that the Survey Corps had sacrificed countless Soldiers outside the walls just to get rid of the Titan for humanity.

While Marlo was pondering, Hitch suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, Marlo, look! That's Commander Nile! Wow, next to Commander Nile is Commander Randy, whom we met last time. That bald guy... could it be Commander Pyxis?"

Startled by Hitch's outburst, Marlo looked at the group of leaders and Marlo also somewhat shocked. There were so many high-ranking officials?

Hitch grabbed Marlo's arm and tried to squeeze into the crowd, saying, "Come on, come on, let's move forward. We have to see this properly, it's a rare sight. We might never see something like this again."

After finally squeezing to the front, Commander Nile and the two Commander had already passed by, Hitch let out a regretful sigh.

"There's nothing more to see, let's go and continue patrolling," Marlo advised.

Hitch said lazily, "Hi, okay."

Marlo turned and left.

Bang! A collision occurred as he turned around, and Marlo was knocked down.

"Marlo?!" Hitch was behind him, was also startled, and then Hitch looked at the person who had knocked Marlo down.

Beneath the hood was a fairly handsome face, and his body didn't look particularly strong, but when he collided with Marlo was knocked over, while this guy was completely unharmed.

"Are you alright? I'm so sorry, Military Police, I didn't mean to." The man was polite, helping Marlo up and apologizing sincerely.

Marlo rubbed his forehead and stood up. Since the apology was so sincere, he couldn't really hold it against them. "It's alright, just be more careful next time."

If it were that vampire Kray here, no matter how sincere the apology, he would inevitably try to extort money from the guy, or if he didn't have any, he would definitely beat him up.

"Let's go, Yago."

Hitch's gaze was drawn to another petite figure draped in a cloak. Looking closer, she saw a beautiful face beneath the hood, with a few strands of Blonde falling loosely.

Hitch frowned slightly, a strange feeling creeping over her. What was it? In Hitch's words, it was the feeling that they could become friends.

Although it sounds mysterious, Hitch wants to say that her intuition is very accurate. It was the same with Marlo. Hitch could sense that Marlo could be a friend, so the two became friends. Naturally, she didn't have much interaction with other people.

Before Hitch could think much of it, the guy named Yago pulled the Blonde girl away.

Hitch watched the two leave, feeling inexplicably empty inside, because true friends were a rare commodity for Hitch.

"Hey, you two, are you Military Police from Stohess District?" the Captain in the Unicorn Uniform asked.

Marlo and Hitch stood at attention in front of him.

"Yes, sir! I am Private Marlo Sund (Hitch Delis) of the Stohess District Branch!"

"Alright, go inform your superiors that, following Commander Nile's orders, you must lead half of the Military Police to follow the main force. This is a military order, execute it immediately!"

"Yes!" Marlo and Hitch certainly didn't dare say anything and immediately hurried off to carry out the order.

"Yago, you were daydreaming just now. What were you thinking about?" Annie asked Yago.

Yago hesitated for a moment, but didn't tell Annie what he had just seen. Instead, he changed the subject, saying, "Annie, do you remember those two Military Police?"

"What?"

Yago: "I can feel it, we'll see them again."

Annie tilted her head. "What strange things are you saying?"

Yago smiled and pointed to his head. "It's Fate."
