Chapter 62: 62.2: Monster Tide Part 2

"Keep attacking!" I yelled out. I was having a hard time dealing with these guards as they were not willing to listen. I was currently standing on top of the wall looking down at them, but things were just not going smoothly. "Should I change how I work with them?"

I tapped my chin as I watched more people trying to run away from the stronger monsters when there was no need to. I waved my hand, and three bolts of lightning struck down in front of the guards trying to run. "Stop trying to run away! We are far from losing the fight, and not a single person has taken damage. So why are you trying to run!?"

"Shut up, you stupid demi! No one wants to follow under your command!" One of the men yelled at me, so I struck him dead on with lightning before healing him again.

I watched as the guard I just hit with lightning look up at me with fear in his eyes and sneered before cupping my ear and asking: "What? I am sorry I didn't catch that? You wanted to fight them head on? Then what are you waiting for? Rush in already!"

But even with this, it was only a temporary fix. There were too many, and each one seemed to despise me with a passion. To truly get them to listen, I would need to zap them all. "Oh? My cute Little Faith is here!"

Hearing that familiar voice, I turned to see a bright purple eyed Adel standing there with a big grin on her face. "Adel? Why are you here!?"

"I got a message from the capital saying that a bunch of nobles sent out their sons to court you. As soon as I heard that, I quickly made my way back. I have been traveling nonstop, so I might be a bit of a mess. I had stopped at the inn here and was sound asleep, but then I had a dream that I heard your voice. But it seemed It was not a dream after all." Adel said as she hooked her arm with mine as if it was the most natural thing in the world. Seeing her sudden closeness made me think of Jen from my past life. She used to do the same. She would run up to me and hook her arm with mine and hug it while talking about this and that. In a way, this made me feel a little closer to Adel. But to be honest, I am very surprised that Adel was even here. To think she turned back around to meet up with me all because those idiots were trying to find me to court me.

"Ah yes…. I ran into one of those idiots.." I guess I made a strange face because Adel began laughing.

"Haha! I can see by your expression it must have been tough. But more importantly, are you having issues?" Adel asked as she pointed at the monster tide.

"Well…. I wasn't really going to do anything about this because there was a town guard, but the idiot over there had no idea how to lead his troops. So I bound him, muted him, and tossed him aside. I then took command, but I feel more like a sheepherder than a commander right now because none of these men like demi humans. To keep them in line, I have been hitting them with lightning bolts." I mean, I had no choice. If I look away for too long, someone takes a chance to try to flee, so I have been training them with love taps.

"I see… Pfft… Hah…. Hahahaha!" Adel cracked up laughing. In a way, it was funny but still! "Sorry, Faith, it is just that the way you speak about it makes it funny. At any rate, let me give you a hand."

I watched as Adel clapped her hands, and two knights appeared on top of the wall. "You two take command and follow Faith's orders. If they do not listen, just kill them. The Gravos Kingdom does not employ useless people. Those who continue to try to run away will be deemed deserters and deserting at any point and time during a battle, whether it is enemy or beast, is grounds for death for not upholding the kingdom's law that they must vow upon when taking up a position of either a town guard or knight."

Hearing Adel make such decisive actions made me realize how weak I was truly being. I knew these laws as well, but as I was only a stand in commander and had no true authority, I resorted to striking them with lightning and then healing them. This way, they would get punished, and at the same time, I was saving myself from being charged with killing someone. Because, to be honest, I do not know if any of these guys are sons of some noble or something and the last thing I wished to do was to suddenly become targeted for another reason altogether.

"Listen up, you ignorant bastards. If I catch anyone trying to run away during battle, I will kill you on the spot!" One of the knights had already stepped forward and began yelling at the men down below. And shockingly, these basta…. Guards were listening to him without issue. It made me want to accidentally let a few lightning bolts go.

"Faith, just give your orders to Sir Randford. He will then relay it to the scum below us. I will be sure the guards of Lovesdale and their commander get a good earful." I had to admit Adel seemed to be a girl of action.

With the guards now under proper control, the monster tide was quickly being taken care of. While I should be rejoicing, I still couldn't bring myself to do so when I had worked so hard to get these guys to listen to me to no avail. With Sir Randford taking command, it is as if a fire was lit under these guards' butts, or they drank a gallon of caffeine because they were all charging in with boundless energy. I let out a sigh as I continued giving my commands. I could only bitterly smile when my words were loud enough to cover the whole battlefield, yet the guards would not budge until Sir Ranford repeated them.

"It must be hard…." I heard Adel mutter under her breath. I knew she probably did not mean to say anything out loud. She didn't even notice she had spoken out loud. But it was true it was hard and also made me wonder if becoming a commander was going to work.

I looked up at the sky and closed my eyes. I pushed out all my negative thoughts to the back of my mind and hoped that if I work hard, I will eventually be acknowledged. That those under my command will see my hard work and show me the respect I deserve. Although I am slightly cheating with my skills from the system. But I do hope in the future that everything will work out. This was the path I chose, after all.

Under the dual command of me and Sir Randford, the monster tide was easily repelled. So now I was standing in front of a certain idiot commander. I waved my hand and undid the binds and mute spell on him while bracing myself for what was to come. "You damn demi brat! How dare you treat me like this. Do you know who I am!?"

"She does not need to know who you are, Baron Strands. As far as I can tell, you are not even fit to hold the title of baron. You indulge in douchebaggery and run this town as some kind of hostel. If it was not for the fact that there was still one legitimate inn left in the town, I would have missed meeting up with my cute Faith. As for the monster tide, you are an utter failure as a commander. The king will hear about this." Adel's voice was loud and very cold. This was a whole new side of Adel that I am getting to know about. And it seems Adel is truly trying to be my friend, which makes me feel slightly warm inside.

"And who are you to say such thin…." I watched as Baron Strands turned and looked at Adel, his face turning whiter than my own. I had a feeling Adel was someone from a powerful noble family. Maybe the daughter of a duke or even a princess. I do not think her status is lower than any of these, especially with everyone's reactions when they see her. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Adel eyeing the baron as if to say if you tell Faith who I am, I will cut off your head. "You…. Ahem… " Oh? Seems he is brighter than I thought. Tch…. I was curious as to who Adel truly was, but I will wait until she is willing to tell me herself.
