Chapter 287 - The Right Way to Start a Negotiation (2/2)

Timus looked helplessly at Gilroy’s innocent eyes and sighed, “Forget it, I’ll be in charge of the negotiations from now on.”

Gilroy was also slightly stunned when he heard this.

Did he say something wrong? After all, he was the one negotiating on behalf of the human race. It could not be that the human race was greedy and evil, right?

It should be known that the human race was a race that sought for peace. Moreover, if he wanted benefits from the elf race, what if the other party did not agree and decided to continue the war?

As a soldier, Gilroy’s considerations were inevitably childish. Luckily, Timus was a little more different. He was used to being a strong person, so he naturally knew what a strong person’s attitude should be.

“Hello, I’m Lord Gilroy’s staff officer. My name is Timus.”

Timus looked at the queen and told a lie. He had without the slightest bit of nervousness or uneasiness on him.

Ulysses Sabrina looked at Timus and nodded very cooperatively, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Timus. I think we can continue on with our negotiations.”

Ulysses Sabrina obviously knew that him being the staff officer was obviously a lie, but she still chose to pretend that she did not know. The reason she did that was the same as before. The current situation of the elves did not have the right to expose the lies of a human messenger. Even if this lie was extremely not well thought out at all.

Timus, who had obtained the right to negotiate, immediately put up three fingers.

“Let’s call it a misunderstanding. Although the misunderstanding has been resolved, it proves that we didn’t do what you thought we did.

“Of course, this is not something that we humans should consider. I really don’t care if you have any misunderstanding about us. You started the war on your own initiative, so I have three requests for you.”

This kind of aggressive negotiation method that Timus did made Gilroy cower in fear, but he wisely chose to shut up. He knew that it was the best choice to hand it over to his teacher right now. In fact, if it was not for Timus that made Gilroy the commander, he would have rather stayed outside the Ancient City of War and waited for the outcome of the negotiation.

Ulysses Sabrina was not unfazed by Timus’s words.

She had never thought that she would be able to escape unscathed after losing the war. It was normal for the other party to have demands.

What the human named Gilroy said before was abnormal. This was something that she was more in tune with and prepared for.

“Please state your demands.”

Ulysses Sabrina replied calmly.

This was the only answer she could provide.

Although Timus had received an answer, he did not show any joy on his face. In fact, he looked a little serious.

“First, we humans can stop the war, but we have lost so many soldiers and supplies in the war. We will definitely receive compensation. As for the exact amount of compensation, I’ll give you a list later.”

“Okay.”

Ulysses Sabrina nodded.

She knew very well that this list would definitely not be as simple as compensation for the loss. It would definitely ask for many additional things.

However, she had no choice but to agree. The price to end a war was supposed to be like this.

“Second, in addition to supplies, the elven race also needs to provide a certain amount of labor for the human race in the next 100 years to make up for some of the hidden losses of the human race in this war.”

The hidden losses were still just words. To put it bluntly, it was for the benefit.

Ulysses Sabrina nodded again.

“Thirdly, the elves must compensate the human race with a city!”
