My Passive Skills are Invincible! Chapter 252 – : Henry's Plan

After the decision had been made, the meeting, which had been initiated by King Harold, was officially over.

As for the details of the Great War that soon followed, Harold did not ask.

His trust in General Henry was very high, and it was entirely up to Henry to decide the matter.

The meeting adjourned, and everyone left, this left Henry and Clifford alone.

Clifford carefully raised his head to look at Henry, only to see a very friendly smile. This made Clifford wonder if he had been hallucinating.

“Mr. Clifford, shall we take a walk together for a while?”

His suggestion surprised Clifford.

This was because he knew very well that General Henry and he were going to go on a different path.

With that in mind, Henry had actually invited him to go with him…

Obviously, he had something to say to himself.

Clifford was very reluctant to go with Henry. He did not like to get in touch with people who had such a boisterous way of speaking.

After all, even King Harold had seriously considered Henry's suggestion. It was obviously very dangerous to deal with such a person.

In addition to the event just now, Clifford understood one more thing, which was that if you want to save your life, you must not get carried away. Moreover, Clifford still remembered Henry's strange smile. With thoughts of that smile, Clifford felt a chill run down his spine.

However, he still did not refuse General Henry's invitation. The reason was very simple, general Henry had saved his life just now!

It was inappropriate to refuse the invitation of someone who had just been saved. Additionally, if Henry were to save his life in the following days, Clifford would have to attach himself to Henry.

If only there was a way that Clifford could save himself!

The two of them slowly walked out of the palace and arrived at the long steps outside the palace. In the scene, there was no one else around.

Henry seemed to casually ask a question, “Lord Clifford, who do you think has the most authority in this palace?”

Clifford was slightly stunned when he heard this question. He turned to look at Henry and waited to see something. However, Henry's expression was very natural. There was nothing unusual about him. He thought for a moment and answered softly, “Of course, His Majesty, King Harold, has the greatest authority.”

Henry nodded and said with a smile, “That's right.”

After that, he said nothing, which made Clifford even more puzzled.

Did General Henry just want to say such meaningless nonsense?

After the two of them went down a few steps, Henry spoke again with a smile.

“Lord Clifford, His Majesty, King Harold is indeed the most powerful person in the palace.

“However…”

Henry suddenly stopped and looked at Clifford with a smile.

“If a certain force in the palace is strong enough, even his Majesty, King Harold must consider it carefully…”

When Clifford heard this, he was slightly stunned. He understood what Henry meant. It was precisely that one sentence that stunned him.

Henry's words, to put it more seriously, were treason! Did he want to suppress the King's forces?!

In an instant, Clifford's body stiffened. He had accidentally participated in the discussion of such a woeful topic!

Now, there was no possibility of withdrawing from this topic. There was no turning back! Clifford did not reply for a long time, but the smile on Henry's face became more and more obvious.

“Lord Clifford, are you considering it?” Clifford did not speak. All he did was carefully look at Henry.

However, Henry spread his hands and said indifferently, “In fact, if I were you, I wouldn't think about it for so long.”

“Why?” Clifford finally opened his mouth.

“Because, right now, His Majesty, King Harold wants to kill you.

“Only by standing by my side can you keep your life.

“This is also why I'm being upfront with you.”

Upon hearing this, Clifford's expression turned ugly, just as Henry had said. If not for Henry's appearance, he might have already died under the sword of King Harold.

Henry had only made a suggestion that was good for everyone, whilst the King actually wanted to kill him.

Was there a need to work for such a king?

Moreover, even if he chose to be a loyal subject and stand on the king's side, would the king really believe his words?

Who would the king trust between Henry and himself?

Without a doubt, in the king's eyes, Henry must be more trustworthy!

Thinking of this, Clifford's train of thought became clear. Similar to what Henry had said, he had nothing to consider at all. This was because he did not have a choice to begin with.

“It's my honor to serve you.”

With that, Clifford chose to obey. However, Henry did not have any reaction at all. For him, this was a natural result.

“Let me tell you the truth, Clifford.”

After obtaining Clifford's loyalty, Henry cut out those hypocritical polite words. He revealed a sneer and said, “In fact, many people in this palace have already chosen to pledge their loyalty to me.

“As long as this war is resolved perfectly, my prestige in the palace will rise to a higher level.

“At that time, more people will be willing to join my coup.

“Our coup!”

When Clifford heard Henry's words, he was slightly startled at first, then he smiled together. He did not expect that this general had unknowingly expanded his power to such an extent!

It was really terrifying.

However, now that he had joined Henry's coup, the stronger Henry's coup was, the better Clifford would be.

This was the exact reason why Clifford smiled. At that moment, he had thought of something, he approached Henry and asked softly, “General Henry, are you really confident… about this war?”

When Henry heard this question, he immediately laughed out loud. This laughter was not restrained at all, this caused Clifford to shrink his neck in fear.

Meanwhile, Henry stopped laughing and revealed a confident expression, “Don't tell me you really think that this war will start?”

“What, what do you mean?”

Clifford was confused. He did not understand Henry's words at all. Moreover, the words Henry spoke were said with certainty.

“No race would dare to start a war first. Aren't the elves afraid of being ambushed by other races after the war with us humans?

“Even if the elves really win this battle, they won't win the war!

“So I'm sure that as long as our attitudes are strong enough, they will definitely retreat!”

At this point, Henry revealed a cold smile again.

“After all, the Goddess of Luck is on my side!”
