The infantry soldiers that was protecting the large village could not believe their eyes.
One moment their enemy was charging at their direction, the next they were obliterated by a large unknown explosion.
They stood with their weapons at hand - clenching them even, so much so that their hands were about to bleed anytime now.
All because they were afraid that it would happen to them any moment now.
But it never came. Instead four people in green with metal frame on them - which is the exoskeleton - headed to their commanders direction.
Commander Miles headed to who he thinks is the person leading this people. When he neared he stop in front of him and gave him a salute while tapping his feet together.
"I am commander Miles A.K.A ALPHA, leader of the Wolf Pack. We were sent here in Planet 12-F to assist FOB from the imperial onslaught and push them back far and long enough until the evacuation progress is completed. Unfortunately only five of my men made it here with me. The remaining members conditions of the wolf pack is of as yet unknown. But even if the rest of the team are Missing in action, I have confidence on my men that they will do their job splendidly."
He looks at the injured man who has to be carried by two of his people, one from each arm.
He pointed to his right specifically to Elizabeth with a wide grin on her face.
"This is Elizabeth she is our combat medic in the team, you don't mind if she help you with your injuries, right? She works miracles, despite her bratty attitude. So you can leave everything in her hands."
Miles waited for a response off from the - who seems to be the leader here - he actually thought he got the wrong leader.
Because the injured man took a glance with a look of confusion at the people that was carrying him with. He opened his mouth to speak.
"Og zazul drum, drumas na. Frantle doromo hus xanafle languas. Haq, og drovel thankus ghut yul saveingdi may poelvilleng."
Miles and the others were surprise and taken a back because when he started speaking, they could not understand a single word the injured man was trying to convey.
The team was looking at each expecting someone to step up and offer a solution. But no did did because this was a language no one has ever heard of before. So they had no idea on what to do.
A familiar notification sound appeared in their head and a female system voice started to sell them something.
DING*
SYSTEM[Would You like to quickly learn the language of this world? If you do, you can now get it for 50 XP each. But if you want whole package you can get it for 200 XP.]
The whole team were dumbstruck, usually the system only talks when she is answering a question ask by users. They did not expect for the the system to speak voluntarily.
They were even more speechless at what she said; the way that you can learn a whole new language just by buying it with... EXPERIENCE POINTS ???
They looked at each other not knowing what to do. Then Miles asked the question everyone is thinking. "System, what is XP?"
SYSTEM[ XP is the gathered points after completing missions, events or quests.
You can also acquire points by eliminating an enemy or monsters.
Each points can vary depending the required task or type of monster.
XP can be use as currency to purchase unlocked equipment or skills and more.]
This gave them with more question than answer. This is too irregular and they know its not part of the protocol for the system.
Even if it is the latest update.
First of all its answering smoothly like a real person and not like an audio generated.
Secondly since when did the system use XP to summon equipment
They have more question to ask, but they have to stick to the task at hand.
"How much XP do we each have?" It was sergeant Heinz that asked the question. Looking at his commander knowing the question he wants to ask but was still speechless.
System[ Commander Miles has 1600 XP.
Sergeant Heinz has 900 XP.
Elizabeth Blackwell has 900 XP
Cyrene Patterson has 1000 XP
Christopher Hale has 2250XP
Bob Reeves has 3400 XP]
Once again, it gave more question than answer, but they know they can just again some other time when they are free.
Right now they need the world languages to communicate with the locals.
"System we would like to purchase world language package for 200 XP." Miles said to the system while also making the decision for their team.
System[ Understood. World Language has been added to your skills. 200 XP has been taken from each of the members;
Commander Miles has now have 1400 XP.
Sergeant Heinz has now have 700 XP.
Elizabeth Blackwell has now have 700 XP.
Cyrene Patterson has now have 800 XP.
Christopher Hale has now have 2050 XP.
Bob Reeves has now have 3200 XP.]
Now that every member has world language in their skill they expected to be able to communicate with the locals.
Even though they expected to be able to talk to the locals in their language, it still surprised them that they were able to talk with them fluently. But they expertly hid their surprise behind their on guard face. Their commander repeated the speech from earlier.
"I am commander Miles A.K.A ALPHA, leader of the Wolf Pack. We were sent here in Planet 12-F to assist FOB from the imperial onslaught and push them back far and long enough until the evacuation progress is completed. Unfortunately only five of my men made it here with me. The remaining members conditions of the Wolf Pack is of as yet unknown. But even if the rest of the team are M.I.A (Missing in action), I have confidence on my men that they will do their job splendidly.
But before that, this is Elizabeth she is our combat medic in the team, you don't mind if she help you with your injuries, right? She works miracles, despite her bratty attitude. So you can leave everything in her hands."
Elizabeth gave a nod to the injured man in leather armour and the two people that's carrying him.
"Right this way and I'll treat your wound?"
Elizabeth lead them somewhere to seat. Then started treating Jaime from his wound.
Miles looked at his sergeant and Cyrene to give new orders.
"Alright you two go assist Bull Dog. He will probably be overwhelmed by the sheer number of them heading his way."
"Copy that commander."
They both nod and gave a salute before marches off to Bob's direction to try and assist anyway they can.
What they did not know is that he did not need any form of help. As he was capable of taking care of his task at hand by himself.
