RETURN OF THE EMPEROR

CHAPTER 117: THE FAITHFULNESS OF CENTAURS

Myro looked at this 2 Centaurs before him strangely.

2 This centaur consists of a man and a woman, they have the lower body of a horse that is the legs up to the waist and the upper part of a human that is almost the same as Sagittarius, more precisely, the Sagittarius zodiac sign does have the Centaur symbol.

"Are you the Centaurs who managed to survive the attack in luck? Why did you decide to give up on me? Do you not have a grudge against me that has destroyed your village?", Myro asked suspiciously, he did not believe that the surviving Centaurs would surrender to Myro, who had destroyed hundreds of Centaurs or their families.

The 2 kneeling Centaurs did not raise their heads at all to look at Myro, they continued to lower their heads showing "Master respect, it seems that there is some misunderstanding here. Although the village of Centaur was destroyed, none of us died. More precisely the elder in our Centaur race gave us a warning the day before the incident to leave the village, this elder did have the divination ability so we trusted him".

"After successfully escaping alive with the help of the elder's prophecy, he told us that the Centaurs had to be loyal and follow the lord to regain the honor of our Centaur race. If we do not follow the master then we will have the bad luck of destroying the entire race of Centaurs. Therefore, after seeing the power of the lord and the prophecy then our race Centaur decided to surrender to the lord".

"We don't know what reason you're angry to destroy our village, but we're ready to pay any price as long as you don't get angry with us. Sir, accept our loyalty to the Centaurs".

Myro now more or less understood about what was happening in the eyes of these Centaurs, they thought that Myro destroyed their village because Myro had a grudge against them, whereas Myro did so by chance. Fortunately there was a Centaur elder who seemed to have the ability to predict, otherwise these Centaurs would have already died.

Myro will not feel guilty for killing these Centaurs, but if they can become followers of Myro then they can be an additional force to fight Rangda.

Therefore, Myro did not plan to tell the truth that he just happened to destroy their village.

"Maybe you have forgotten, but in the past you have made a mistake that made me have a grudge against you to plan to destroy your village" Myro said with a gloomy face "But since you managed to survive the attack, it shows that fate still gives you a chance to live, so I will also give you a chance".

"If you are loyal to me and do not betray then I can let you live, even I will bring you to defeat Rangda so that you do not need to live by hiding in the forest anymore. But if there is even the slightest sign of disloyalty to you then I will kill you without hesitation, this time you will definitely not run away despite using the prophecy of your elders. Centaurs, what's your answer? Faithful to me and not betraying or dying right now?".

2 The centaur shouted without hesitation "Master, from today we represent the race Centaur will give its loyalty to the lord and never betray, from the, thank you to you for giving us the opportunity to live".

Myro nodded "I accept your loyalty, where are the other Centaurs? Didn't they come here?".

A Centaur immediately said "My lord, we were actually planning to bring the entire Centaur race to come here and give allegiance to master, sir, but we are afraid to disturb you because we are too many so that my wife and I who came here represent the entire Centaur race".

"Then tell the Centaurs to gather in Anto's territory at the latest tomorrow, whoever doesn't come or refuses to come then let them! But don't blame me for making them have to pay for their refusal!", Myro said with a cold smile before saying again "Our goal tomorrow is to attack Rangda with the 4 forest lords, therefore tomorrow will be our greatest determination to end Rangda's ruthless leadership!".

"Okay sir, we will definitely go and bring back the entire Centaur to help the lord defeat Rangda!", replied the 2 Centaur couples who immediately left.

Pona who was on the other side said excitedly "Myro, so great! Though no one has succeeded in combining all the rulers of the forest, even Rangda or Anto always ends up failing. But you can really gather them all to join forces against Rangda, with Myro and the 4 forest lords then we will definitely win".

Penthesilea also nodded in agreement as she said proudly "My husband's candidate is indeed very great, so when will we determine the date of our wedding?".

Myro did not respond to Penthesilea's question "Tomorrow we will depart back to the Anto region, your father and my Cindy must have been waiting there, the time to end Rangda's rule will finally arrive!".

Pona nodded with a stern face, as Barongan's followers then they were the ones who hated Rangda the most. If not for the sudden disappearance of Barongan, then Rangda could not have had this much power in the entire world.

...----------------...

The next day, the city of Anto which has become quite destroyed since Anto's death is now filled with many people.

More precisely there are 3 groups of people standing on 3 sides of this city, namely the humans who gathered near the city gate and led by Zion.

Then there were the tigers led by Cindaku, they gathered at the site of Anto's palace first, although now it was destroyed into ruins by Myro's blow.

The last group was the Centaurs, they gathered in the center of the city with their bows or spears.

Among these 3 groups, the group that had the lowest loyalty was the humans.

After all they had never seen Myro except Zion, therefore they doubted that Myro could defeat Rangda, even they had never heard of Myro's name before.

"Zion, are you sure that Myro is really strong enough to defeat Rangda? Although I doubt it, I decided to believe it because you said this, you must not be lying right?", asked an old man worriedly, as the leader of a human village, he must be careful that all its inhabitants do not die because of his mistakes in making decisions.

"That's right, Zion! We've been waiting here for a few hours and Myro's still not here, who does he think he is that dares to keep us waiting like this? If he still hadn't come as well then I would have left here!", said a man who was about 30 years old and was the youngest village leader.

"If you can't wait then go, but don't regret if we've defeated Rangda later because those who can gain power from defeating Rangda later are only those who help", zion said coldly because he had become a loyal follower of Myro by now, so anyone who dared to mock or doubt Myro would surely make him angry.
