Chief

Listh's POV

It has been a week since Lord Wreck has left for the City of Sandon. I have been continuing on my job as the Chief of Farming in the Crimson Town. There are a lot of newcomers in my Farming Group so I have been extra busy ever since the addition of the refugees.

Today, I am going to introduce the new farmers to each of their new jobs. Basically teaching them the ways of farming here in Crimson Village since we are quite advanced in terms of technology.

"Alright, Everyone!! Listen up! Chief Listh will be speaking about your work now!"

That was Jorn. He is a dwarf and he is also one of the original citizens in Crimson Town. He has been assisting me ever since he came to this place. He has the title of Deputy Chief of Farming after me. I believe he is 15 years old so that makes him 5 years older than me.

After Jorn shouted, I stood in front of the huge crowd. All of them are older than me. Some are even in their fifties. Crap. I am getting scared.

"Ummm. Hello Everyone. I am Listh and I am your leader..." I said nervously.

Crap! Why am I shaking way too much! I hope they heard my introduction.

"Hey, Sir Dwarf! Where is Maam Listh?" Someone from the crowd asked.

"What do you mean? She is standing right in front of all of you!"

"What?! This little beast girl? Are you sure?"

I knew it. They did not hear me. They are also not recognizing me as the Chief. It is because of my age. I knew I can't handle this! Why did Lord Wreck had to make me the leader when I am way too young to be believed as the leader?

"Hey! Don't disrespect Chief Listh! Even though she is young, she is the most capable one in here!"

Thanks, Jorn.

Narrator's POV

The naive young Listh is just standing in the front as she receives criticism due to her age.

"Really? Not to being disrespectful here but a young lady being the Chief is quite unbelievable!"

"Yeah! She is about the same age as our sons and daughters."

"Do you expect us to have the guts to follow someone who is not even half our age?!"

The young lady is holding strong on her ground as she doesn't have the guts on replying to their statements. She knew that this was a bad idea. She knew that older people won't follow her because they are older than her. She was standing in front silently, but his companion was different.

Jorn, who has been a vocal person for Listh, has been protecting her from the harsh comments from their older rookie farmers.

"You all do not know Chief Listh's capabilities! Even if she is young, she is smart! She is talented! She is a capable leader!"

"How do you know that Dwarf? You are not even older than us!"

"I know that because even I had doubts about her being a leader from the start! But she has proven me wrong! Even if she is younger than me, she is a better leader than me! If I can understand that she is a good leader, you can too! You just need to open your minds! There are no age requirements on who to follow! Skills matter, not age!"

Listh was moved by his deputy's speech. She realized that even if she was doubting herself, someone believes in her. Someone believes in her skills and capabilities. She realized that Wreck has assigned her as the Chief because he believed in her. The Council believed in her. Jorn believed in her. Now she has resolved.

Even with Jorn's great speech, the older crowd still did not budge. They were still not convinced. Everything was going downhill until....

"Everyone! Some wild wolves have entered the farmlands! Run!"

A pack of red wolves infiltrated the farm. It was ruining their crops. No one knows what to do.

"What should we do?!"

"Let us kill those wolves before they destroy the whole farm!"

"No, we can't. You are crazy if you can handle those beasts!"

"Then what should we do?!"

"EVERYONE LISTEN!"

Listh shouted.

Everyone paid attention to her.

"I need all of you to calm down! Jorn, you should go to the military and call for back up. Don't forget to tell my brother that I need help."

"But Chief what about-?!"

"Just Go! I can handle this! You believed one me and I shall prove it to you and to all of them that your belief was not a waste. Now go!"

"Roger."

Jorn now hurried to the Military building.

"Everyone that is capable, I need all of you to follow my lead. Please recover all the crops and plants that are still possible to be revived. I need all of you to secure every plantation and the equipment. Let me handle those crazy beasts myself."

"But what are you going to do? You are just a little girl?"

"Trust me. Now let us move!"

The group now hurried towards the main farm where they saw a number of wolves eating the crops.

Listh, who was eager to prove the others wrong, rushed towards the wolves as she prepares herself for an attack.

"Young Lady what are doing?!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

*WOLVES CRYING FOR HELP*

Everyone was astonished. They did not expect what they just witnessed. The young lady they doubted earlier just wiped out a huge pack of wolves all by herself. Her graceful moves as she uses her earth magic was powerful. Her ability to channel the ground was amazing. They did not expect that this young beast lady was capable of this.

"Wow."

"Amazing."

"So she has magic."

"What are you all doing?! Help the plantation!"

After the defeat of the wolves. The farmers have now recovered the main farm. Right at their backs was the military lead by Listh's brother, Kirth.

"Told you so Jorn. I know what my sister is capable of."

After the battle Listh passed out. Jorn and Kirth hurriedly went to her. Kirth carried her in his arms. Suddenly the people clapped as they approach Jorn and Kirth.

"We are sorry sir Jorn."

"Yes. We were totally wrong and was very disrespectful."

"We also did not know that she was the sister of the General of the Town."

"We are very sorry."

"Alright. Now I need all of you to respect Listh as the chief and also to work hard from now on. Understood?"

"Yes sir!"

After a moment, Bubba suddenly appeared in front of Kirth, who was still carrying Listh, from the sky.

"Sir Kirth I have a report."

"What is it Bubba?"

"It seems like Sir Wreck's group has arrived in the Norman Town."

HEY GUYS!

I hope you like the chapters without Wreck!

I featured Listh this chapter because I believe I was not able to fully utilize her character in this series which is why she is the main character here!

I hope you appreciate this chapter.

Anyways next chapter we will be diving back into Wreck again!

If you like these kinds of chapters I can do it again!

I can do chapters for Bubba, Grano, Bren, and maybe Laur or maybe you can suggest anyone you would like.

I am now finalizing the next big arc so watch out!
