My Passive Skills Are Invincible! Chapter 145

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?
"Seeing a fully armed and powerful guard standing by the side, that envoy will be more or less worried. At that time, in order to save his own life, he will definitely act weaker.
"Only through this can we minimize our losses!"
Hearing this, Jacob's eyes lit up.
This method could be said to be somewhat feasible.

As long as the final result was still beneficial to the human race, they would not pursue such a trivial matter too much. After all, they would still let the envoy return to the country unscathed.
Under such circumstances, the best outcome would be that they could minimize the price they had to pay.
"Alright, let's do it!"Jacob nodded and asked, "Who did you bring this time?"
Crete City was the territory of the Trolls. When Chris came, he brought some guards with him.
Chris smiled and said, "I brought Alves!"
Jacob nodded in relief when he heard the name.
Although Alves was a Dwarf, Jacob still knew this guy.
Among the warriors, Alves was one of the strongest.
With him around, it would definitely bring a lot of pressure to the envoys sent by the human race.
"Okay, I will also let Cicero participate in the negotiation."
Cicero was also a powerhouse among the Trolls. Chris was relieved to hear this name.
With the two powerhouses of the Dwarves and Trolls standing by the side, the human envoy would definitely be under a lot of pressure.
In order to prevent angering the two kings, the human envoy would definitely be careful during the negotiation process, then they could shamelessly reduce their losses.
Perfect!
Chris smiled smugly and said,
"When the human envoys arrive here, we must strike first and not let the other party take the initiative in the negotiation."
"Yes, that's right!"Jacob also revealed a sinister smile. "No matter what he says, we will immediately refute with certainty!"
The two looked at each other and smiled as if they had already seen the victory of the negotiation.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the meeting room.
"Your Majesty, the envoy of the human race has arrived."
The person outside the door said so, and his voice seemed to be a little flustered.
Resta Jacob was slightly surprised. The envoy of the human race had arrived so quickly?
He was about to ask the attendant outside the door to call Cicero and Alves over to participate in the negotiation, but he did not expect the door of the meeting room to open directly.
Mike stepped into the conference room and looked at the two people at the table coldly.
This scene happened so suddenly that Jacob and Chris froze.
They had never expected that this human envoy would be so powerful.
Even if the human race won the war, under normal circumstances, their envoy should wait outside the palace obediently.
After all, this was the territory of the Trolls.
Who would have thought that this envoy would barge in?
Moreover, he... very naturally sat directly opposite of the two of them and put his legs on the table.
Seeing this scene, Jacob's heart burned with anger.
He was about to stand up and fly into a rage when he heard Mike's cold words.
"The Dwarves and Trolls will each pay a city as compensation. In addition, you will also have to pay a total of two million gold coins.
"I have finished speaking. Who agrees and who disagrees?"
