“I can’t agree to that!”

Ulysses Sabrina frowned and replied in a hushed voice. Although she was negotiating as the defeated party, she was still unwilling to hand over a city as compensation.

A city meant a lot to a race.

The elves could give money.

The elves could even provide manpower.

These were all renewable resources that could be quickly replenished if lost. However, the territory of the elves could not.

Doing this would bring about larger effects in the future. One had to know that in a race’s territory, the distance between the cities was very close. Once any city belonged to another race, the other cities would basically be exposed to the fangs of that race.

The human race could station a large number of soldiers in this city, eyeing the other territories of the elf race covetously. As long as the human race was dissatisfied with the elf race, they could immediately send an army to attack the elf race again.

Were that to happen, the elf race would have no ability to resist. Therefore, she would be willing to give up anything, except for the cities!

Ulysses Sabrina answered quickly and firmly, but Timus smiled and said,

“Do you think… you have any right to refuse me?”

“…”

Ulysses Sabrina stayed silent. Timus was right, she had no right to refuse what he had just said. Whether the elves lived or died depended on Timus’s mood.

As long as the negotiations were unfavorable to Timus, he could immediately attack the Ancient City of War.

One day was enough for the Ancient City of War to immediately fall into the hands of the humans and be claimed as their territory.

When the time came for negotiations, it would not be as simple as taking the Ancient City of War. This would mean that the humans would have occupied the city through power, and not because of the compensation offered by the elves.

The elves would have to pay a higher compensation and face a more difficult situation were she to disagree right now.

Ulysses Sabrina closed her eyes tightly. She faced a mental war in her heart. At this time, it seemed that agreeing to compensate the city was the right choice.

However, Ulysses Sabrina knew that she could not make such a decision. This was because she had just sat on the throne as the elven queen, she had not established her due prestige among the elven civilians just yet.

Were she to compensate a city right after assuming the role, then the elven queen would lose the hearts of her elven people.

No one would love this so-called queen. That’s right, Ulysses Sabrina still cared about her position. It was no matter when, or where, or how, she would never not think about it.

The rest were only secondary considerations. The throne was something she could not easily give up. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Timus and remained silent.

She calculated in her heart, if she fought with this young human in front of her, what were her chances of winning. After all, he should be the human who defeated her mother, Angelina Sabrina.

Even the God of Death, Arthas… should also be defeated by him, right?

After experiencing a great battle, he should be very weak now, right?

Although she did not know what methods he used to defeat the gods, the mortals of the lower realm were just mortals, right?

To be able to defeat the gods, he must have used a very restrictive method. This method could not be used a second time, right?

In other words, she might win!

Ulysses Sabrina narrowed her eyes, as if she had already made a decision in her heart.

As long as the other party was unwilling to give in… she was ready to turn hostile at any time!

However, at this moment, Gilroy lowered his head and said, “Teacher, I think…”

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Timus sensed that Gilroy might say something unfavorable to the human race, so he quickly used the same trick again and interrupted Gilroy with a cough. However, Gilroy seemed to have thought things through in his heart. He insisted on speaking his mind.

“Teacher, I…”

“Cough, cough, cough!”
