Chapter 286 - Misunderstanding (2/2)

Seeing this, Gilroy could not help but whisper into Timus’s ear, “Teacher, could they be setting up some kind of trap?”

Timus could not help but laugh when he heard this. He patted Gilroy’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry. The elves have already invested almost all of their military forces in this war. They are no longer qualified to continue fighting.

“Even if they still have the strength to set a trap, they definitely won’t dare to do it.

“Because this would be equivalent to cutting off their only way out.

“Let me ask you this, if they set a trap to kill you this time, will the soldiers give the elves any chance to negotiate? If that happens, what they will have to face is the ending of an entire elf race being exterminated by us.”

After listening to Timus’s analysis, Gilroy nodded his head in agreement.

“You’re right, the elven race shouldn’t make such a decision that could be disadvantageous to themselves, but…

“Teacher, didn’t you say that you wanted to go in with me to negotiate? Wouldn’t that mean that you too will have a high chance of stepping into their traps and dying too?”

“I do want to go in, but even if they set a trap, I won’t die. Only you will die.”

“…”

In Gilroy’s heart, he had felt relieved that his teacher was going to accompany him/ However, not knowing if it was a joke or a statement, Gilroy had become nervous again.

“Alright, stop daydreaming. Hurry up and go in.”

Timus was the first to step into the city gate.

…

The Ancient City of War, the conference room.

Ulysses Sabrina sat on one side of the only square table in the room, while on the other side sat Timus and Gilroy.

Although Gilroy looked very calm, he was still very nervous. After all, this was the first time he had a chance to talk to a big shot, which was almost impossible for a soldier status like him.

However, times have drastically changed, this was really happening. Not only that, Gilroy was about to face the elven queen as the victor of the war. This was something that no one could have ever predicted!

Ulysses Sabrina could not predict Gilroy’s current mood. Sensing the tension, she spoke first in a sincere tone.

“I feel that there is no need for the war to continue. First of all, the cause of this war is just a misunderstanding.”

“Misunderstanding?”

Timus frowned slightly. He felt that this was obviously an excuse. However, Ulysses Sabrina did not panic in the face of Timus’s questioning face. Instead, she continued to speak in a matter-of-fact tone.

“This war was only started because my sister was killed by a human assassin in the elven territory.

“You may know my mother’s temper. She would never accept such a provocation. She immediately believed that this was an assassin sent by the royal family of the human race.

“After all, ordinary people would not hold any grudges with the royal family of the elven race.”

Ulysses Sabrina tried to rationalize the war behavior that the elf race had brought upon. At the very least, she had to find a suitable reason that was convincing enough to Timus and Gilroy to end this war.

Knowing this, she continued on with her speech, “But I have just received new information. The assassin who tried to assassinate my sister had been caught and executed, so all of this is just a misunderstanding.”

Hearing this, Gilroy felt more at ease. However, Timus’s expression turned into a strange one..
