The Foxhound did not slow down but instead the camp gate slowly opened by itself while the ATV just sped off inside and the gate closed behind it."Quick! Go and get the stretchers out!" is what Leo said immediately after he got down from the vehicle.
"Quickly!" Leo barked when he saw them still standing there looking at him with a dumbfounded look.
When they heard him the second time and especially when they saw Alex pulling out an unconscious Austin from the Foxhound, the people around him immediately ran towards the guard"s quarters and back with a stretcher on hand.
Edward and Michael hurriedly carried Joe to the stretcher and Michael looked at Leo and said "Where are we gonna put them boss?"
"Let them rest at the guard"s quarters. Don"t worry their fine and just sleeping" Leo replied and comforted him with a few words when he saw how worried he looks right now, especially for his brother Joe.
Michael just nodded relieved because he felt earlier that his brother is burning hot when he touched him. He didn"t say another word as they immediately carried Joe towards the quarters.
By this time, the people who were hiding at the Main Hall hurried towards Leo, full of worries mostly when they saw Austin and Isaac lying on the ground in tatters while unconscious.
Isaac"s family and Laura, hurried towards the side of Austin and Isaac.
"What happened to them?" Laura was kneeling beside Austin as he asked Leo red eyed on the verge of tears and there"s even a bit of anger in her eyes.
Isaac"s family didn"t say anything as they are still somewhat not use to being around Leo but they also shot him inquiring looks.
"They are fine. Actually, this is even good for them" Leo raised an eyebrow as he rolled his eyes.
"But why are they covered in blood an-"
"If I said they are fine, then they are" Leo said with a bit of an annoyance.
Edward and Michael came back and took Austin on the stretcher and ran back to Guard"s Quarters.
LEo gestured at Alex to pick up Isaac and put him inside the quarters before he walked back towards the main hall while her sister Aria is buzzing around him, curious of what really happened. Leo just told her that she and the others will find about it when rest wakes up from their slumber.
Leaving behind the crowd while Rachel was shouting at them to disperse and continue to what they were doing earlier.
Leo just sighed to himself as he took off his clothes and soak himself at the bathtub.
"The fight today was sure is tiring" Leo muttered to himself.
Leo then opened the system interface and opened the skill section and started browsing for useful skills again as he was really amazed at how powerful the skill Sword Quake is which costed him 50,000 defender coins.
"Not this"
"No, not really useful right now"
"Oh? I think this is somewhat good, a pa.s.sive skill" Leo was talking to himself while looking at the list of skills.

"Wow, I think this skill is good, should I buy the Level 1 and let"s it levels up or should I immediately buy the max levelled one?" Leo was contemplating to himself and then looked at his remaining coins.
[Sterling: £1,429,975] [Defender Coins: 300,387]
"Yeah, I should buy the most expensive one while I"m still rich right now" Leo said he immediately purchased the most expensive Iron Skin.
[You have successfully purchased [Level Max Iron Skin (Pa.s.sive)]. Item was already sent into your Inventory]
"Alright, Let"s see if there is a good skill for me to use. I wonder if there is a skill that lets me fly any kind of an aircraft vehicle, after all I can"t just always rely on Alex. Just in case that the both of us would suddenly get separated while were outside the walls" Leo said, browsing. He even saw a skill called Sword Cannon which made him think.
"A sword becoming a cannon or it refers to a concentrated energy the blast off from the sword, shooting towards its target?" which made him chuckle just thinking about it and even planned to buy it but when he saw its price, he was like that one friend of yours trying his best to avoid you everytime he sees you.
The price of the Skill: Sword Cannon was a whopping 100,000 Defender Coins.
"This skill must be really powerful to have that kind of price" Leo said as he went back to looking at every skill tomes in the store.
Then Leo"s fingers paused in mid-air as he saw a skill that"s got his attention.
[Level Max] All-Weapons Mastery (Pa.s.sive) - be a master in the use of any kinds of weapons from swords, spears, bows, firearms and etc.]

"Oh~ h.e.l.l no!" Leo cursed loudly from the bathroom, seeing how expensive it is.
"Man, this is so expensive. Hmm..should i buy it? After all, I just got a great sword but I probably won"t be using it with flowery skills in the face of zombies and mutated beasts, right?" Leo said to himself.
"Hmm, I think it"s a pa.s.sed for now, need that skill to fly aircraft vehicles after all" Leo finally decided to pa.s.sed on it for now and continued browsing around.
A few seconds later..
"Yes, this is it!" Leo said with so much joy.
[Level Max.] Sky Engineer (Pa.s.sive) - an ability to pilot all kinds of simple or complicated aerial vehicles]

"Haha, I think the system is messing with me" Leo didn"t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw the price but he still decided to buy it in the end.
[You have successfully purchased [Level Max.] Sky Engineer (Pa.s.sive). Item was already sent into your Inventory]
"And now I"m only left with 50,000 Defender Coins, still a lot though. Right, why don"t I check how much is the price of a single D77-TC Pelican that I got as a reward" Leo said as he immediately switch to the a.r.s.enal section and looked for the Pelican.

"Right, I remember that its named like that when I checked it before and it seems like I just won the lottery~!" Leo yelled full of happiness.
Outside his room.
"I wonder why his shouting like that and even talking to himself, did he go crazy?" Amanda asked Mich.e.l.le who was beside her as both of them stood in front of the door of Leo"s room.
Mich.e.l.le shrugged her shoulders and said "I don"t know and why are we even here eavesdropping on him?"
"Just wanted to ask him of what hey saw and what happened to them, that my brother and the two guys came back with a severe fever" Amanda replied smiling at her.
"Whatever" Mich.e.l.le looked at her friend with an eye roll.
