The commander raised his brow quizzically but didn't say a word about the man's strange behaviour. He saw soldiers overly attached to their weapon on the battlefield, how they grasped on it like onto the straw of salvation, being their only way to defend their lives.

"Wery well, you have our utmost gratitude." He bowed again, once more scrutinizing the man's entire figure. He isn't a rookie commander, he know to recognize soldiers, warriors and even those who lives in the shadow, assassins. And while not entirely sure about what this man was, one thing was obvious by the limited body language he gave, he was a combattant, and a skilled one at that, probably superior to him in his prime.

"If you're hungry the meals are served 3 times per day, unless the Tao tei have other plans, so my suggestion is go and fill your belly while you can. If you need equipment, ask the tall man over there," he motioned towards an armorer guarding a door,

"Lei." he said simply and the man understood what his commander was asking of him.

"I must leave you now, I need to meet with the section commanders and form our defensive strategy." he saluted politely before taking his leave, thinking back at the two odd creatures that stumbled upon this outpost few days ago. One was a hulking humanoid made of rocks, the second one his comrade, a being smaller than the average Human or Mamono, looking larvae like wearing some automaton-like looking suit with forward pointing wristblades, in they words they were otherworlders that had to try their luck landing on this world.

They didn't seem or act hostile and were quite helpful in the preparations for the battle ahead. The people, initially freaked out by them, slowly accepted them as they were nothing but  helpful and friendly to them.

Suddenly a purple flare burning slowly high above their heads breaking his train of thought. Before he had the chance to order the response being fired, another, black flare appeared shotly after from the same location, the mountainside observation post he sent the scouts minutes ago.

"What the...?" the general was confused as that signals didn't made any sense, but then... waht in the world is that another flare? no, it's too high up and it is falling too fast, like a fireball from the sky about to hit the ground.

'This will either be the batle we ultimatelly win or we all will perish defending the world behind our backs.' he thought, watching the descending firebal, now looking like a strange object on fire.
