Looking at the boiling elder made Acma thinking that he might have gone a bit too far. If this elder also erupted like everyone else, he would lose a lot of benefit like getting an information, a minions or worse, he might end up wiping out the entire village. This elder was the only centaur he could reason with. He look at the Strabeous side where the chief was standing. Looks like the chief had manage to calm down a bit, but its eyes were still piercing.

“I shouldn’t talk to this grieving father yet”, he thought.

“Elder Strabeous”, he called. He used ‘Elder’ although they were still could be considered as enemy to make it loosened up a bit.

“I want to inform you that all the human in my village were not from this world. We came from a world called Earth and we end up at this place only after 2 days ago”, said Acma.

“Bullshit. Why should I believe in this blatant lie? Otherworld? Earth? I’ve never heard any of this before”, shouted the still angry chief.

“Just because you never heard it, it doesn’t mean it didn’t exist”, refuted Acma in his head.

He chose to ignore the chief. “Think, this land have been sealed for 15 years from human invasions. But out of nowhere, a well defended human village appeared in this part of the land. You’re familiar with this area, you should know that we’re not here before 2 days ago”. He started with the most crucial fact. If this elder could accept it, then he might be able to get its help to explain the fact to the other beastman. If this happened, an attack on Orca Village could be avoided.

“You might came through the Umedour Kingdom or traversing through the Bottomless Swamp. That might be hard, but it’s not impossible. Then you were hiding until 2 days ago”, said Strabeous

“Umedour Kingdom? So there is a way to bypass the Enchanted Forest. Damn. Now it would be hard to convince them. Just forget about it. It’s up to them either they want to believe it or not”, thought Acma.

“I don’t need you to believe me. That’s your own problem. However, the most important thing is, if you make a wrong decision in dealing with my village, you can imagine what will happen to your village”, Acma said.

“...”

“We understand. I assure you, that today’s battle will the last between our village”.

“Just like that? That’s too easy. I thought this Strabeous will retaliate a bit or at least ask more questions. He’s too calm. I wonder if he was the mastermind behind all what happened in this three days. I must beware of him”, thought Acma.

“I’ll take your word for it”, he said then pointed his finger at the chief, “... and you, if you have a grudge against me, I’ll take on you anytime”

The chief only glowered at Acma, but it didn’t say anything.

“Elder Strabeous, can you explain a little about Umedour Kingdom”, asked Acma.

“Hou, you’re not telling us a story about your place anymore?” asked the chief with a sardonic smile.

“Tsk..This guy became more irritating”, thought Acma but he ignore it, again. He won’t lowered himself to its level.

Watching Acma ignored it, the chief’s face was twitching.

“It’s a dwarven kingdom, located between Aurea Empire and Isebial Kingdom. It was built inside the Metal Mountain Range which is rich with numerous metal ore. Because of their location, the human didn’t attack them in the previous war. Furthermore, nobody dares to trespassed their border because of their magnificent metal golems”, explained Strabeous.

“Metal golems?”

“Yes, metal golems, just like yours I think, but I’m not sure because I’ve never saw one before. That’s also the reason why I still suspicious about your people’s origin”

“Metal Mountain Range, metal golems. Maybe the Metal Kingdom was there too. ‘That’ guy also mention about dwarves. Hmmm... I should confirm this in the future”, Acma said to himself.

“So both Metal Mountain Range and Enchanted Forest were located between Aurea Empire and Isebial Kingdom. Just how long is the Enchanted Forest?

“Yes, they were. It’s about 2000 kilometres from the border of Metal Mountain Range and a Dark Mountain Range”

“Another mountain range?” asked Acma in his head.

“Why is it called Dark Mountain Range?

“Because it was plagued with dark energy. Only dark creatures were able to live in there. I don’t know for sure what type they were except the undead”

“Elf, dwarf, minatour, centaur, werewolf, human, undead, lizardman, so my types of creatures in this world. I haven’t ask Strabeous about Sacred Forest and Bottomless Swamp yet, but maybe next time”, he thought.

“Thank you very much, Elder Strabeous. If I have anymore questions in the future, I’ll have to bother Elder again"

"..."

"... One more question, do you have a map of this world?"

"... No, I don't have it. You can get it at the capital"

"Capital of Isebial Kingdom. Haha. It's like handing my head to the executioner. Anyway, thanks again"

Acma felt grateful for Strabeous because of all those new information. He felt he can work together with this elder.

“Elder Strabeous, I wonder if someday in the future, someone make a country for everyone, human and non human alike, what will you do?”

It was just spontaneous idea and didn’t mean he was going to built one.

“A country like that was impossible to exist. Even if it do exist, I won’t join them. My hatred against human will never disappear”, replied Strabeous.

“That’s too bad. I thought we would be able to work together”, said Acma.

“Is there any possibilities you would reconcile with the human, like right now you were talking with me?”

“...”

Strabeous gritted its teeth.

“Never”, it replied.

“... So why are talking to me nicely?” Acma asked curiously.

“...”

“Don’t want to answer ah? Looks like your hatred were just as deep as the others”, Acma concluded.

“If the hatred will never disappear, there is no use to talk anymore”, he thought. He felt pity that this elder also trapped in its hatred.

Acma took out all his guardians from inventory. Instantly, all 300 of them filled the street.

“Summon: Great Wolf Alpha”

Silver materialized in front of Acma.

“Alice, gather all the centaurs in the village at the main gate. Follow Silver to locate them. If anyone refuse, beat them to submission” “Yes, Master”

Acma patted Silver head and said, “Please locate all the centaurs in the village and show their location to Alice”. Silver gave a low growl and the sprinting forward, followed by the guardians.

Acma’s sudden action gave a lightning shock to the centaurs.

“Hey, what are you going to do?” asked Strabeous fearfully.

Acma look at Strabeous but didn’t say anything. He kept walking toward the main gate with 2 supreme guardians escorting him.
