Crete City.

The Dwarf king and the Troll king were alone in the conference room, discussing what to do next.

They were already here since morning, and the atmosphere was tense, but it was different now.

They were discussing the distribution of benefits.

That was right, they were already discussing the matter of dividing the interests gained from the human side, and were arguing about it.

Unexpectedly, the news of a great defeat came from the front line.

They actually lost this way that should have been won easily, hence the atmosphere was very heavy.

“The question now is whether the human race will retaliate against us.

“If we don’t deal with this problem properly, we will suffer heavy losses!”

The king of the Dwarves, Wine Barrel Chris, slammed the table and said through gritted teeth.

The king of the Trolls, Resta Jacob, was also frustrated. His dark blue face looked a little ferocious as he let out a shrill voice,

“You’re asking me this now? You know, you’re the one who mentioned the alliance to attack the humans first!”

“Is this the time to pursue this? We’re on the same boat now, the humans won’t care about what you say!” Chris said with his eyes wide open.

This time, Jacob did not refute because Chris was right.

The human race would not care about who was more responsible between the two races. To the human race, they were both enemies.

“Then what do you think we should do?”Jacob asked unhappily.

Chris took two deep breaths, trying to calm his emotions.

He narrowed his eyes and analyzed,

“If I were Onivis Harvey, I’d have two choices now.

“The first is to gather all the troops and launch a counterattack…”

“That’s impossible.” Jacob shook his head and extended a finger, “The humans don’t have enough troops at the moment. If they gather all the troops and launch a counterattack, their city will become very empty. The other countries will not let go of this good opportunity. Onivis Harvey is not a fool. He knows this.”

“Then there is only the second possibility…” Chris continued.

“Onivis Harvey will definitely send people to negotiate with us. He will extort us mercilessly!”

Hearing this, Jacob’s expression became even more unsightly.

He had originally wanted to gain some benefits by initiating the war, but he did not expect that would have to bear a loss instead of gaining benefits.

This was not the result he wanted.

“We have to think of a way to reduce the losses!”Jacob said in a grave tone.

“I have a way.” Chris brought the topic to a crucial point.

“We can arrange for some experts to stand by the side during the negotiations and put some pressure on the envoys sent by the other side.”

“This is the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard!”Jacob’s eyes widened. “You should know that since ancient times, there has been a rule that no matter how far the war goes, neither side can harm the envoys who come to negotiate!”

Chris certainly knew this.

Many times, the war had to be ended at the round table. If the envoys could be harmed, then gradually, no one would be willing to negotiate.

In the end, the war would be endless.

However, he revealed a confident smile.

“Don’t worry, I don’t intend to kill that envoy. We’re only doing this to scare him.

“May I ask, who wouldn’t cherish their own lives?

“How can that envoy guarantee that we won’t hurt him?
