Adrasteia strode forward after her master has given the order.
She nonchalantly moved forward towards the human defenses then she looked at their faces.
Fear can be seen in the eyes of the human soldiers, but Adrasteia understood this and knew the reason why.
The weak would fear the strong, especially when the strong intend to prey on the weak.
The humans have known and seen what she and the others are capable of – that Adrasteia and the others cannot be harmed by the humans no matter what they do. The soldiers began to think what would be the point in trying to engage an enemy that cannot be harmed, an enemy that is invulnerable – that is why the soldiers couldn't bring themselves to attack.
However they are soldiers, they must not let themselves be consumed by fear, but rather fight if they have nowhere to go.
Adrasteia knows that she and the fellow guardians would be preying on the weak, but even if the weak is the prey it won't matter. No matter if they annihilate an entire city, no matter if they have to abuse on the weak or anyone else, the only thing that matter is their lord and creator.
Adrasteia doesn't care about anything else whether if its humans or something else, the one she truly and greatly cares about is her master – of course, she also cares about her allies but she cares about her master the greatest.
If millions have to die for her master, then so be it. If everything that has to be or will be done is for the master or is commanded by him, then it has to be done, even exterminating all the humans in this town. She will do anything for her master.
Indeed, Adrasteia is human, but she is an Immortal Human. However, she doesn't care about the humans in front of her or any humans in that matter. Normal humans and an immortal human is of a different existence.
Normal humans have a limited lifespan and are not that very strong, while an immortal one has an unlimited lifespan and are greatly more powerful than a normal one.
Thus, Adrasteia, the Immortal General of the Legion, is of higher existence than those normal humans – in other words, normal humans are inferior life forms.
Few moments have passed.
Adrasteia observed the humans, but it seems they still don't have the intention to fight.
Soldiers are supposed to fight when there is no other choice, something should be done. The master seems to want the soldiers to fight back, so they should. What could be done?
Adrasteia thought.
While trying to think what can be done, she looked at Criswell on her distant right and Criswell was also looking at her.
Criswell seemed to have noticed the same thing as her – the humans seem to have no intention to fight against them.
After a few steps, Criswell stopped walking so Adrasteia also stopped. Adrasteia looked at Brutus on her distant left and Brutus looked back at her and he also stopped walking following Criswell and Adrasteia.
Adrasteia keenly observed the humans while contemplating.
Now, what can I do to make them fight? Should I tell them some words of encouragement as soldiers? That could be done, but I'm their enemy, so they won't completely swallow my words. But still, that could be a way to make them fight. However, it's up to themselves to decide whether to fight or not.
Adrasteia thought.
Adrasteia pondered for a few seconds to whether to give some words of encouragement or not.
She is a general who is given the responsibility to command her master's forces. So naturally, she would be the one to give encouragement, and morale to the forces. But it would be a different case if the army she will command is not sentient or doesn't have a mind of their own, or are not living.
Then not for long, she said in her mind.
Hmmm, alright, might as well give it a try. Still, I don't like giving encouragement to the enemy. But the master seems to want them to fight back, so I have to do it.
Adrasteia doesn't know the exact reason why the master is attacking the humans of this town as well as why she and the guardians have to hold back. However, it doesn't matter that they don't know the reason.
Her master might have a good and right reason for this, so she only has to follow her master's orders.
As she was about to open her mouth to speak a voice suddenly rang out.
"Aren't you supposed to be soldiers? Then be one, fight the enemy right in front of you, be the warrior that you are, or is it that you people chose to be cowards instead? Then there's no point in you for being soldiers. You have no place to go, no escape, so there's no choice but to fight!"
She knows exactly from whom that voice came from. It was from a distance but she's still able to hear it most clearly, that's because she has a superhuman hearing to an extent.
Sagremor? He beat me to it huh.
Adrasteia said in her mind and she smiled behind the mask.
Hearing that, Adrasteia now concluded that what Sagremor said might be already enough to make the soldiers realize that they should fight.
Then after a few moments, a static voice rang out from the ranks of the soldiers.
"Soldiers! Muster some courage, the courage to defend our home, the courage to bring peace to us once again. Do not let fear consume you! The enemies are in front of us, which means we can shoot them. Do not let them do what they want! Our peaceful lives will return when they are gone, so soldiers, fight until your last breath, do not lose hope! Fight for your friends and family!"
It seems to be from the human soldiers' commanding officer.
Then after the message from the radio, the human soldiers started to shout showing their resolve.
"YEEEEAAAAAHH!"
"WE"LL FIGHT UNTIL THE END!"
"FOR OUR FAMILY!"
"WE WILL NOT GIVE UP!"
"OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!"
Adrasteia raised an eyebrow in hearing their shouts.
Then I suppose it's fine now, time to begin the assault.
Adrasteia said in her mind then she continued to stride forward towards the humans.
As she was walking, the soldiers began to ready their weapons and began to aim.
However, a lot of them seemed to be occupied. They were distracted by something.
Adrasteia looked at where the human soldiers are looking at and this caused her to furrow her brows behind the mask.
The soldiers were looking at Criswell.
Distracted huh? That is not quite acceptable when in the military. But I guess that's just how these inferior life forms are. Easily distracted by something majestic, after all, Criswell's wings are majestic in the eyes of such lower life forms. But still, they need to snap out of it and focus on their enemies.
Adrasteia thought.
After a few moments, a high-ranking officer shouted.
"E-Everyone! They're the enemy! Shoot them down! Fi—."
However it was cut off when suddenly a beam of light hit the human defenses including the officer, thus all units hit by the light died.
The human soldiers were confused about what just happened. The damage caused by the light was just too great to be normally thought about.
Adrasteia, however, knew where the beam of light came from and she continued to walk towards the humans until she was so close to their defenses.
When she finally was close to their defenses she stopped walking.
Then following that the human soldiers finally began to engage Adrasteia.
Countless attack flew towards her. Bullets and magic particles all flying towards her but this did not harm her at all. However, the human soldiers were still not stopping.
Adrasteia looked at the sandbags that were blocking her way. Behind those sandbags were humans taking cover. Just to add, some parts behind the defenses have trenches but on the most parts are just flatland.
"Everyone keep shooting!"
"Yeah! Even if we can't damage them, we'll just keep going and eventually, we'll damage her!"
The soldier said while shooting Adrasteia in their earnest.
All of the soldiers kept pulling the triggers and countless attacks came out flying from their weapons towards their target.
Just to add, the soldiers were quite impressed by the female's outfit. It just fits perfectly to her, and every soldier was captivated by her. She could even probably be a perfect example of a perfect female general that they would gladly follow into battle. However, she is the enemy so they must shoot her down. In addition, they were quite captivated by the figure of her body – her outfit shows a little of her slenderness.
Then after a few seconds what they saw shocked them and made their eyes widen.
"W-What the…"
"H-hh-h."
"E-Eh."
What they saw was a floating giant cannon that suddenly appeared on the right side of the female wearing a military uniform.
"What the fuck!?"
"That's a big ass cannon!"
The cannon was as big as their magic cannons. However, the cannon of the female was much better looking than theirs. The cannon has an impressive and complex design, and it has a dominant color of black then the secondary color of gold.
"E-Everyone RUN!"
"Save yourselves!"
Then a blue large beam hit the defenses and killing and destroying everything in its path.
Adrasteia used her skill to conjure the massive cannon.
Adrasteia was a bit surprised by the effects, it caused more damage than expected.
Need to lower it more.
Adrasteia thought.
The cannon did too much damage, so she would need to lower it down, if not she might destroy most of the humans in such a few moments. Her master gave the order to hold back so that can mean they must not destroy the humans that quickly and swiftly.
Thus, she decided to lessen the size of the cannon, and it did.
Adrasteia searched for a target and when she did, her weapon turned to point at the target after that the cannon opened fire and beam of blue light came out of the canon. The magic beam vaporized half the body of the target, so the remains only fell to the ground.
Contented with the effects she continued onward towards inside the human defenses.
She could shoot down the humans but that would take more time. Well, she could just conjure more cannons, but that would only be a waste of mana. Every fire of her weapons cost a little bit of mana, however even if it just cost so little of her mana, that would still be a waste if used on these humans, so she decided to do a closer approach.
Also, it would not be bad if she moves, she thought that sometimes it would be good to move a lot and also this might be a good practice to improve in using her weapons and skills.
When she was now within the defenses, she was surrounded by soldiers and they were shooting at her.
She unsheathed her rapier from her left waist and brandished it, trying to get a feel of it first, after all the humans pose no threat at all.
After that, she conjured another cannon to her left the same size as the cannon on her right.
She peered unto the humans in the surrounding area then she readied her rapier for a swing.
Then both the cannon turned towards their designated side – the right and the left sides of Adrasteia.
She looked at the humans in front of her.
Then both the cannons fired hitting different targets at a time.
Meanwhile, Adrasteia ran to the enemies in front of her, and in an instant, the soldiers were already in reach.
She swung her rapier gracefully with ease cutting every enemy the blade touches.
She swung her blade and humans get fatally cut and blood spilling from their bodies. However, Adrasteia kept dodging the spray of blood, trying not to stain the clothes her master gave to her.
She moves towards any enemy that she sees and when are in reach she swings her blade and enemies cut fatally cut and body parts were dismembered and innards flying out of their bodies.
However, everything that she cuts gets sliced cleanly.
Her cannons were firing at the humans and when she called for them mentally, at a great speed, the cannons quickly returned to the sides of Adrasteia.
A human soldier was near Adrasteia and was rapidly shooting her with his magic weapon. Adrasteia turned to look at the soldier and she pointed one of her cannons at the soldier.
In the surprise of the cannon, the soldier shrugged and frantically stepped back in panic. As the soldier was trying to get away he slipped but luckily he supported his body with his hand and he quickly stood up. However, as he looked up facing Adrasteia, what he saw was not the female wearing a military uniform, but what he saw straight and near his face is a muzzle – mouth – of a cannon. The soldier knows what this cannon is, and his eyes widened and his heart throbbing greatly.
Knowing his fate, he loosened his body then.
And within the mind of the soldier, he said along the line of "Oh shiiiit."
BOOOOOSSSHH.
He got vaporized.
Then Adrasteia continued on to engage the human soldiers all around.
The humans were puzzled in those floating guns. The guns can open fire without someone operating them was something they couldn't understand, plus the cannons just suddenly appeared out of nowhere and that is shockingly surprising, they were trying to shoot down the cannons but it was to no avail, it seems they can't even damage the cannons.
Many of their allies were vaporized by the cannons in a flash, and this increased the soldiers' anxiety.
Also, there's the other one, the female's movements were too fast to follow. Even when they're shooting her down, it still has no effects on her. And what scared the humans most is when the military girl gets near them and get cut down in what they see as cutting down in a brutal and clean way.
But it's not exactly brutal.
However, even in the current circumstances, the soldiers were still fighting back. They may be afraid, but their resolve is what drove them to fight, even when their enemies are invulnerable.
That's good soldiers. Fight, for that is all you can do. Fight for my master. Die for my master.
Adrasteia thought then she smiled tenderly behind the mask.
I am the one who brings the wrath of the Lord. I am the one who hammers down the Lord's wrath on his enemies. I, Adrasteia, a loyal servant of Lord Xyn Draven Nightfall, will follow the master and fulfill his orders on whatever end. I will destroy his enemies and will safeguard him even at the cost of my own life.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Adrasteia strode forward after her master has given the order.
She nonchalantly moved forward towards the human defenses then she looked at their faces.
Fear can be seen in the eyes of the human soldiers, but Adrasteia understood this and knew the reason why.

Easily distracted by something majestic, after all, Criswell's wings are majestic in the eyes of such lower life forms. But still, they need to snap out of it and focus on their enemies.Adrasteia thought.After a few moments, a high-ranking officer shouted."E-Everyone! They're the enemy! Shoot them down! Fi."However it was cut off when suddenly a beam of light hit the human defenses including the officer, thus all units hit by the light died.The human soldiers were confused about what just happened. The damage caused by the light was just too great to be normally thought about.Adrasteia, however, knew where the beam of light came from and she continued to walk towards the humans until she was so close to their defenses.When she finally was close to their defenses she stopped walking.Then following that the human soldiers finally began to engage Adrasteia.Countless attack flew towards her. Bullets and magic particles all flying towards her but this did not harm her at all. However, the human soldiers were still not stopping.Adrasteia looked at the sandbags that were blocking her way. Behind those sandbags were humans taking cover. Just to add, some parts behind the defenses have trenches but on the most parts are just flatland."Everyone keep shooting!""Yeah! Even if we can't damage them, we'll just keep going and eventually, we'll damage her!"The soldier said while shooting Adrasteia in their earnest.All of the soldiers kept pulling the triggers and countless attacks came out flying from their weapons towards their target.Just to add, the soldiers were quite impressed by the female's outfit. It just fits perfectly to her, and every soldier was captivated by her. She could even probably be a perfect example of a perfect female general that they would gladly follow into battle. However, she is the enemy so they must shoot her down. In addition, they were quite captivated by the figure of her body her outfit shows a little of her slenderness.Then after a few seconds what they saw shocked them and made their eyes widen."W-What the""H-hh-h.""E-Eh."What they saw was a floating giant cannon that suddenly appeared on the right side of the female wearing a military uniform."What the fuck!?""That's a big ass cannon!"The cannon was as big as their magic cannons. However, the cannon of the female was much better looking than theirs. The cannon has an impressive and complex design, and it has a dominant color of black then the secondary color of gold."E-Everyone RUN!""Save yourselves!"Then a blue large beam hit the defenses and killing and destroying everything in its path.Adrasteia used her skill to conjure the massive cannon.Adrasteia was a bit surprised by the effects, it caused more damage than expected.Need to lower it more.Adrasteia thought.The cannon did too much damage, so she would need to lower it down, if not she might destroy most of the humans in such a few moments. Her master gave the order to hold back so that can mean they must not destroy the humans that quickly and swiftly.Thus, she decided to lessen the size of the cannon, and it did.Adrasteia searched for a target and when she did, her weapon turned to point at the target after that the cannon opened fire and beam of blue light came out of the canon. The magic beam vaporized half the body of the target, so the remains only fell to the ground.Contented with the effects she continued onward towards inside the human defenses.She could shoot down the humans but that would take more time. Well, she could just conjure more cannons, but that would only be a waste of mana. Every fire of her weapons cost a little bit of mana, however even if it just cost so little of her mana, that would still be a waste if used on these humans, so she decided to do a closer approach.Also, it would not be bad if she moves, she thought that sometimes it would be good to move a lot and also this might be a good practice to improve in using her weapons and skills.When she was now within the defenses, she was surrounded by soldiers and they were shooting at her.She unsheathed her rapier from her left waist and brandished it, trying to get a feel of it first, after all the humans pose no threat at all.After that, she conjured another cannon to her left the same size as the cannon on her right.She peered unto the humans in the surrounding area then she readied her rapier for a swing.Then both the cannon turned towards their designated side the right and the left sides of Adrasteia.She looked at the humans in front of her.Then both the cannons fired hitting different targets at a time.Meanwhile, Adrasteia ran to the enemies in front of her, and in an instant, the soldiers were already in reach.She swung her rapier gracefully with ease cutting every enemy the blade touches.She swung her blade and humans get fatally cut and blood spilling from their bodies. However, Adrasteia kept dodging the spray of blood, trying not to stain the clothes her master gave to her.She moves towards any enemy that she sees and when are in reach she swings her blade and enemies cut fatally cut and body parts were dismembered and innards flying out of their bodies.However, everything that she cuts gets sliced cleanly.Her cannons were firing at the humans and when she called for them mentally, at a great speed, the cannons quickly returned to the sides of Adrasteia.A human soldier was near Adrasteia and was rapidly shooting her with his magic weapon. Adrasteia turned to look at the soldier and she pointed one of her cannons at the soldier.In the surprise of the cannon, the soldier shrugged and frantically stepped back in panic. As the soldier was trying to get away he slipped but luckily he supported his body with his hand and he quickly stood up. However, as he looked up facing Adrasteia, what he saw was not the female wearing a military uniform, but what he saw straight and near his face is a muzzle mouth of a cannon. The soldier knows what this cannon is, and his eyes widened and his heart throbbing greatly.Knowing his fate, he loosened his body then.And within the mind of the soldier, he said along the line of "Oh shiiiit."BOOOOOSSSHH.He got vaporized.Then Adrasteia continued on to engage the human soldiers all around.The humans were puzzled in those floating guns. The guns can open fire without someone operating them was something they couldn't understand, plus the cannons just suddenly appeared out of nowhere and that is shockingly surprising, they were trying to shoot down the cannons but it was to no avail, it seems they can't even damage the cannons.Many of their allies were vaporized by the cannons in a flash, and this increased the soldiers' anxiety.Also, there's the other one, the female's movements were too fast to follow. Even when they're shooting her down, it still has no effects on her. And what scared the humans most is when the military girl gets near them and get cut down in what they see as cutting down in a brutal and clean way.But it's not exactly brutal.However, even in the current circumstances, the soldiers were still fighting back. They may be afraid, but their resolve is what drove them to fight, even when their enemies are invulnerable.That's good soldiers. Fight, for that is all you can do. Fight for my master. Die for my master.Adrasteia thought then she smiled tenderly behind the mask.I am the one who brings the wrath of the Lord. I am the one who hammers down the Lord's wrath on his enemies. I, Adrasteia, a loyal servant of Lord Xyn Draven Nightfall, will follow the master and fulfill his orders on whatever end. I will destroy his enemies and will safeguard him even at the cost of my own life.
