Chapter 32 
Ares and Hephaestus V

(Ares' P.O.V)

The centaurs are already arrived in this village, the citizens of Minjo stopped in what they're doing and all of them are in silence. Fear and distress, that is what the citizen felt that time. It was really unexpected, as they know, it must be tomorrow that these centaurs will arrive to collect crops and golds. But the supreme leader Anthony, with courage, he shows himself to Leo, the leader of the centaurs that are enslaving them. As Anthony already in front of Leo, he told him...

"Our master Leo, greetings to you. I was surprised, we thought that you will arrive in the next day."

"It's not important if we went here too early. The important is we will collect many golds and crops!" Leo answered with tyranny.

I was standing there in the jail room, and I saw them in the window. Also, Hephaestus heard that something strange is happening, so he also stared at the window to see what's happening outside. As we saw the centaurs having a conversation with Anthony, Hephaestus was curious, even me. Maybe these are the centaurs that invaded this village just like what Kevin told us. Hephaestus asked...

"Is that the centaurs that enslaving this village?"

"Please silence Hephaestus!" I just responded him in irritable mood.

We just staring and listening about their conversation. As Leo told that to the supreme leader, they are just silenced. Because that was their problem, they only harvested less crops and mined less golds. Leo, the leader of centaurs, realized that all of them are just silenced, and he didn't like it. Here, Leo asked Anthony...

"What is that silence means, supreme leader? Is there something wrong?"

That time, Anthony didn't know what to respond. He just staring at Leo in the eye, but the leader of centaurs commanded him...

"I don't want to waste my time! Give me those crops you harvested and the golds you mined!"

Anthony, commanded Captain Paul beside him, to tell the farmers and the miners to bring the crops they harvested and the golds they mined. Then Paul the captain followed his order, he helped the farmers to get the baskets of vegetables and crops they harvested and while the miners carried a sack of golds they mined. As they put it in the front of Leo and the centaurs, here, Leo was angered and hit those baskets of crops and sacks of golds they mined with his big axe. The baskets were destroyed, and the vegetables spilled in the ground, and also those sacks of golds. All of them are afraid of those centaurs, some of the children and women are crying.

"Is these the only crops and golds that we will collect?! Are you Minjos are insulting me, Leo, the strongest creature here on Earth?!"

Anthony was just silenced and didn't dare to answer him back. But he didn't know that his wife Sandra and his son Kevin was standing in front of their hall watching them in fear. Anthony can't take this anymore; he almost wants to fight Leo. Deep inside, he was angered, but it is not yet the time for him. As Leo was angered, he tells Anthony...

"You already know the punishment, do you?"

Anthony begs for he already knows what punishment it is. Leo looked around the people in that village to look for a victim. There, he saw a woman standing with those citizens with her child daughter. Here, Leo pointed his finger to that child and ordered his centaurs...

"Bring that child to me!"

The two centaurs went to that woman with her daughter. That woman cried and begged them, as the centaurs grabbing her daughter, that woman insist and pulling her child. Her daughter cried because she's so afraid to them and from what they will do to her. But the mother keeps on begging and said...
