Chapter 250: The Human's Pre-war Meeting

It was normal for every country to have their own races in other countries. This way, no one would doubt the authenticity of this news.

Especially for such news like these!

The Elven Princess had been assassinated, and the murderer was a human.

When these two pieces of information were combined, everyone noticed an issue. That was, the elf race would definitely launch an all-out war against the humans!

This was definitely going to be a historical event!

Immediately, one of the ministers took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, about this matter, did you..."

He could not finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he wanted to ask. Was this matter to be arranged by His Majesty the King?

When Harold heard this question, his expression became grotesque. Were he to send someone to do it, it would have been fine. At the very least, he would only carry it out if he was prepared for it.

However, the problem was that he had never sent anyone to do such a thing! To the human race, this was clearly an undeserved disaster. Someone must have wanted to frame the human race and to provoke a war between the humans and the elves!

Harold suppressed the anger in his heart and slowly shook his head, "I didn't know about this."

This time, there was a flurry of discussion that took place in the palace. Those who could serve in the palace were naturally not fools. Soon, everyone began to wonder whether someone was deliberately trying to frame the humans.

However, Harold directly stopped everyone's discussion. 

"Alright, this matter isn't important now. What's important now is to solve the problem at hand.

"Do you all think we should proceed with this war, or not?"

Harold's question was very simple.

To fight or not to fight.

However, the real problem was not that simple. Were they to fight, how should they begin? Should they attack in one go and quickly resolve the battle, or should they drag out the battle lines and slowly dispute it out?

If they chose not to fight, should they lower themselves and seek peace, or should they negotiate with a tough attitude?

The results of choosing either option leads to different outcomes.

For a while, the palace fell silent. Most of the people chose to remain silent and pondered. After all, this was a major matter that concerned the entire country. If the words spoken did not conform to King Harold's intentions and even caused the human race to fall into a disadvantageous position, it would be a huge responsibility!

However, there were timid people who spoke cautiously, and there were bold people who dared to speak!

Immediately, a minister stepped forward and spoke, "Your Majesty, My lord, I would like to share some suggestions."

Harold looked at this person and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Clifford, if you have any suggestions, feel free to voice them out here."

Even though Harold had said what he said, he kept different intentions in his heart. Clifford would definitely advocate peace talks because this guy had always been a person who tried to avoid war.

Sure enough, after Clifford bowed, he immediately looked at all the ministers and said, "Everyone, I think we should avoid this battle if possible!

"The elf race is not a small community that is easy to bully. Their population is not less than ours, and most of the elves have been in their prime for a long time.

"Under such circumstances, their average combat strength must be higher than ours.

"This is a reason that I believe everyone understands, and that is, we must fight with confidence!

"Since we aren't sure that we can win this war, we might as well think of a way to avoid this scuffle!"

After Clifford spoke, many ministers nodded slightly, they looked like they agreed with Clifford's view.

Although Harold nodded slightly on the surface, he was actually unhappy with what Clifford said.

Avoid?

'If it was so easy to avoid this, why did I need to ask everyone?' he thought so in his heart, but he did not say so on the surface. 

Instead, he asked with a smile, "What Clifford said makes a lot of sense. In that case, I want to hear what Clifford thinks next.

"How do you think we should avoid this war?"

Clifford seemed to be well-prepared. He answered without any hesitation, "Since we want to avoid this war, we must pay attention to two points.

"The first point is to show the elves our kindness and peace.

"Since they are in a state of extreme anger, we should send some gifts to the Elves to appease their anger first, this could help bring the relationship between the humans and the elves closer.

"This way, they will understand that we humans are also a peace-loving race."

At this point, he paused and slowly glanced at all the ministers around him. 

"Moreover, the second point is even more crucial.

"That is, we must make it clear to the elves that this is a complete accident and has nothing to do with US humans!

"After all, this war had only started because of the death of the Elven Princess Veronica.

"As long as we have nothing to do with this, the war can be completely avoided!"

Clifford had gained the approval of many people from the beginning, so he was very confident when he shared his ideas.

So much so that he did not notice that his supporters had gradually dwindled. Most of those who heard this frowned slightly in silence. There was no one left in the room that nodded agreeingly to what he had said anymore.

After hearing this, King Harold sneered. Personally, he thought that this was simply nonsense!

The reason why Clifford could be a minister in the palace was because his father had once made a huge contribution to the human race. He had then inherited this position from his father.

In terms of ability, this guy was not even as good as an ordinary attendant in the eyes of Harold! Other than saving his life, he had never made any contribution to the entire human race. Now, he even came up with such a stupid idea that sounded like gibberish.

Harold slowly stood up and walked towards Clifford, enunciating each word clearly, "Did you know that I, only let you continue to serve as an official in the palace for the sake of your father.

"But your suggestions this time have become the tipping point, I am unable to endure it any longer."

Clifford's smile froze when he heard this.

Meanwhile, Harold could not hide the anger on his face and continued, "Since you've already said that the elves are extremely angry now, I would like to ask you.

"Can we explain to them that this matter has nothing to do with humans?

"Will they listen to our explanation?

"Will they believe our explanation?

"And you even talk about giving gifts to appease their anger?!

"Nonsense, this is too ridiculous to bear!!!"

At this point, Harold had already walked up to Clifford, and Clifford's face was filled with fear. At such a close distance, he could feel Harold's current anger.

Harold looked at Clifford and voiced out, word by word, "If the life of an elf princess could be appeased with gifts, then the elves would have perished on this continent a long time ago!

"And as for you, I think it's time for you to perish..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Harold slowly pulled out the sword by his waist. Clifford knelt on the ground on the spot.

He knew that he could not save his own life.

Right now, unless a miracle happened, no one would come to his rescue!

"Your Majesty, My lord, please, wait a moment!

"Let me settle this war for you."
