Commander Erwin's sharp voice rang out among the scouts.
"Our mission is clear. We are crossing into Titan territory to take back Wall Maria. Levi Squad take the left flank. Hange squad take the middle. And my squad take the right. The rest, you know where to go. Try to avoid casualties among yourselves. We're going to need many people to retake our land from the Titans. Advance!"
The Scouts left Wall Rose and advanced into Titan Territory. The Erwin Squad rode to the right. The Levi squad began to veer left, while The Hange Squad stayed in the middle.
"Aaah! I can't wait to see some abnormals. We have to capture at least one. I want to study and conduct experiments on it."
The squad rolled their eyes at her. Every expedition had to involve her wanting to capture an abnormal. Most of the time it never happened, with a few exceptions.
"Captain, Titans ahead. A 5 meter and a 7 meter."
"You guys take the 5 meter, I'll take the 7 meter."
"Hai."
Levi pulled out his blades and jumped off his horse. His 3D maneuver gear attaches itself to two trees.
Levi threw a blade into the Titan's eye to distract it. He then flew over and cut its nape.
"Ugh! Almost a clean cut."
Using his cloak he wiped the blood off the handle of his blade. He hopped once more on his horse and watched his squad return.
"You're getting slower. If you moved a bit slower you would have died. Be more cautious next time."
"Ok, Levi."
"Geez."
Levi rolled his eyes. His squad could be idiots at times. Unfortunately this was one of those times.
They continued riding, killing Titans that appeared in their path.
Hange squealed as she forced the two titans to run into each other. She swung under them and dodged an arm.
"Commander, watch out!"
"Don't worry, I'm always careful. Isn't that right guys?"
The Titans looked at her and she jumped over their heads. She jumped down and sliced their nape. The two Titans fell and began to evaporate.
"Like I said, I'm always careful."
"Well what are you waiting for let's go."
Hange signaled her squad to continue riding. She saw an abnormal and begged to capture it. Her squad shook their heads and continued on. She sighed and frowned.
"Please? Maybe he'll still be here when we come back. Pretty please?"
"No."
"Aww."
"Next time, Hange."
She pouted but continued to lead the way.
Erwin looked at his map then his surroundings. If he was correct, then they were halfway to Wall Maria. He smiled, there had hardly been any casualties and Titans. But that didn't mean this would be easy. Sooner or later something would happen. It always did.
But he couldn't help but smile. Erwin wondered how the other squads were doing. Levi was probably obsessing about his blades being dirty. Hange was probably trying to unsuccesfully capture an abnormal.
And he..
Well he.. He was riding to Wall Maria. Confident and ready to take it back. To save Humanity from extinction.
