nHarold was the king of this country and the supreme leader of the human race.

nWhen he drew his sword. Logically speaking, no one would have dared stop him. However, now, someone had stopped him.

nMoreover, the incomprehensible scene unfolded further.

nBefore Harold could turn his head to look outside the palace where the voice came from, the anger on his face had already dissipated by more than half.

nOnce Harold heard the voice, he felt a sense of relief.

n

"You're here, Henry.

"

nThe general named Henry that wore golden armor walked into the palace step by step. When this happened, the entire palace became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Henry.

nIt seemed that as long as this person was here, he was destined to be the center of attention.

nEven Harold felt inferior towards this person. However, the king did not care about this at all. He looked at Henry with a smile.

nHenry returned the gesture just the same.

"Your Majesty, King Harold, according to your orders, I took over the case of the Thieves' Union ten days ago.

n

"Now, this matter has been settled.

"

nNow that the war was imminent, it seemed inappropriate to bring up matters other than the war. However, King Harold was satisfied. He nodded and said,

"Very good. How's it going?

"

nHenry raised his head slightly and revealed a confident smile,

"All the members of the bandit alliance have been killed by me. This is a piece of cake for me.

"

n

"Good!

" Hearing that, Harold laughed out loud.

nSure enough, any matter could be perfectly solved by leaving it to Henry. All the problems were so simple in front of Henry. He was the most trustworthy person in the entire human race!

n

"Henry, as expected of the great general of the human race. Handing this position to you is the best decision I've ever made in my life!

"

nHarold patted Henry's shoulder in satisfaction. Henry then lowered his head slightly and said respectfully,

n

"Everything was done so smoothly because of Your Majesty.

" Henry's lips curled into a smile, he looked so elegant and humble.

nSeeing this scene, Harold was even more satisfied and nodded,

"Then, let's get back to the main topic.

n

"You said just now that you would solve this war?

"

n

"Yes, Your Majesty.

" Henry opened his eyes that bore confidence.

"I think that this war doesn't need to be avoided at all.

"

nHe slowly turned his head and looked at all the ministers,

"As long as I lead all the soldiers of the human race to attack the elves first, they will definitely be caught off guard by us.

n

"What is war? War is about who has the first chance to seize the advantage!

n

"Instead of waiting for the enemy to attack, let us be the one to attack first.

"

nMany people agreed with Henry's words, but there were also many people who had doubts in their hearts.

nHowever, no one dared to ask. After all, he was Henry. The great general of the human race, and was the supreme commander of the human race's army. At the same time, he was also a great hero who had contributed a lot to the human race.

nWho would dare to refute the words of such a great person?

nOf course, there was still one person who dared to refute, and that was King Harold.

nHe frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment before he asked,

"Henry, I believe in your promise, and I also believe that with your strength, you can win this war.

n

"But, the death of the elf princess has nothing to do with us. Is this war really necessary?

n

"Moreover, if we take the initiative to launch an attack, isn't that the same as admitting that we were responsible for Princess Veronica's death?

"

nMany of the ministers nodded after they heard King Harold's words. Even if there were some things that they did not do, as long as they made the wrong choice, it would lead to their own doing. It does not matter who started it, everyone would agree to this statement.

nHowever, in the face of everyone's doubts, Henry smiled slightly and said,

"Since ancient times, history has been written by the victors.

n

"Whoever wins is justice.

n

"Whoever wins is right!

n

"As long as we win this war, and even wipe out the entire elven race…

n

"Then who would care about the cause of the death of a small elven princess?

"

nHearing this, many ministers were so shocked that they broke out in cold sweat.

nWipe out the entire elven race? The only one who dared to say such words was probably General Henry, right?

nHowever, a hint of undetectable excitement appeared in Harold's eyes. He laughed loudly and said,

"That's right, you're right!

n

"History is written by the victors!

n

"As long as we win, there's nothing to worry about.

n

"I'll leave this matter to you. You must do it perfectly

"

n

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!

" Henry bowed his head slightly to Harold. Then, he looked at Clifford and said,

"Your Majesty, as for this person...

"

nThe person that Henry was referring to was naturally Clifford. When King Harold heard this, his face immediately turned cold.

nHe snorted coldly and said,

"I've waited way too long in dealing with this guy!

"

nUpon hearing this, Clifford, who knelt on the ground, trembled again. He had already heard the killing intent in Harold's tone.

nUnder such circumstances, even Henry would probably not speak up for him, right? However, what he did not expect was that Henry actually spoke up for him.

n

"Your Majesty, I have a presumptuous request.

" Henry stood between Clifford and Harold, while he lowered his head.

nHarold frowned slightly, but he still nodded as an indication,

"If you have any requests, just say it.

"

nIf it were anyone else, Harold would not care what they wanted to say. He would have definitely killed Clifford, the trash.

nHowever, since it was Henry's words, Harold was still willing to listen.

nHenry smiled slightly and bowed,

"Your Majesty, I think that the Great War is imminent. All the soldiers are watching your every move.

n

"If you kill your own people before the war starts, I'm afraid the morale of the soldiers will be affected...

"

nHearing this, Harold considered his suggestion. It was true that Henry's words made sense. If it was just to plead for Clifford's life, even if it was Henry's words, Harold probably would not have agreed.

nHowever, what Henry said was related to the upcoming war.

nTherefore, Harold had to consider his gains and losses. Was it worth it to delay the upcoming war for such trash like Clifford?

nIt was obviously not worth it!

nHarold made a decision in his heart. Then, turned to look at Clifford and said,

"Today, I'll spare your life for Henry's sake!

n

"Remember, your life is only lent to you temporarily. If you dare to spout nonsense in the future, no one will be able to protect you!

"

nClifford's body trembled slightly again as he repeatedly thanked him.

nWhen he quietly raised his head to look at Henry, what he saw was an odd smile.
