Early the next morning, around seven o'clock.

The sun had just spread across the land, at the Celestial Path Alliance headquarters in the Imperial Capital.

Having already gotten up, they were chatting and joking with Yu Qingcang and a few others in the living room.

"I'm really looking forward to it, I've never been this excited in previous years."

"It's not just anticipation, in the past there was some concern too, a sense of urgency like going to battle, but not this year."

"Anyway, I'm just going in to watch the show, haha..."

"I really wonder what kind of reaction other countries will have when they see the strength of Longxia's number one."

"When Lu Ran enters the battlefield map, it's like an immortal descending to the world!"

"Lu Ran, throw fewer Skeleton Tyrants, keep the numbers in check, I'm afraid soon the battlefield map will be filled with your Undead Army."

"What's to fear about being overwhelmed? Just overwhelm them! Lu Ran, let's show the world what an Undead Calamity truly is!"

...

Lu Ran didn't join in the conversation.

He wasn't nervous, just a bit restless.

After all, it was his first time experiencing such a grand scene.

And he'd never experienced it before.

In the past, national war was sacred in Lu Ran's mind, back when he hadn't awakened professions yet!

Being able to bring glory to the country by participating in the national war was already a great honor.

Not to mention now, Lu Ran was the core figure of the national war!

The commander of Longxia!

"Yes, the Undead Calamity..." Lu Ran murmured.

This wave, it's time to shock the world.

Soon.

When the time arrived, at the precise moment of eight o'clock.

Lu Ran felt a blinding white light flash before his eyes, as if an invisible force was pulling his body, instantly causing him to lose balance.

But having frequently teleported to dungeons, Lu Ran was quite familiar with this sensation.

He wasn't startled, simply closing his eyes slightly, patiently waiting.

Not long after.

The dizziness faded away.

When he opened his eyes again, the scene around him was completely different.

He stood in the middle of a vast field, surrounded by towering stone walls.

The walls were adorned with banners embroidered with dragon patterns, fluttering loudly in the wind.

Although the battle hadn't begun, whether it was psychological or not, there was already a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.

A gentle breeze blew, bringing with it an aura of solemn killing intent!

This was a true battlefield!

A map for national war!

A stage for the world's professionals!

In the distance, he could faintly hear the ancient, deep sound of a horn.

As if reminding him, this is no longer the original world, but the battlefield of national war.

It also signaled to everyone.

Successfully reaching the battlefield map!

Lu Ran looked around, this should be the main camp of Longxia.

The entire camp covered an extensive area, enough to accommodate millions!

The ground was paved with solid stone slabs, marked with simple crosshatched patterns, providing a heavy feeling of stability when stepped upon.

Several basic functional buildings were distributed within the camp.

The first thing he saw, naturally, was the tallest command post with Longxia's flag flying from its rooftop.

As for the other functional buildings, Liu Xinxin had introduced them, but they seemed relatively unimportant and were rarely used.

Except for the dormitory, the large dormitory area was still necessary.

After all, there's the accommodation problem for a five-million strong army.

At the very center of the main camp, stood a massive and thick battle banner.

Below the banner was a crystal base, emitting a white glow.

The battle banner itself towered into the sky, with a vividly embroidered golden dragon on its flag.

Liu Xinxin appeared beside Lu Ran, noticing him staring at the battle banner.

She introduced, "That is the totem of the Longxia battle banner. Every camp's battle banner totem is different. For instance, the U.S.A's is a bald eagle, and Japan's is a wolf..."

Lu Ran nodded.

He said, "This totem is quite impressive! So majestic!"

Even without seeing the totems of other camps' battle banners, just looking at Longxia's battle banner totem, it is inherently a king's totem!

The dragon's eyes gleamed as if watching every person entering the camp.

The flagpole of the battle banner was wrapped with runic chains, glowing faintly blue.

This is the core of the main camp—the battle banner.

It not only symbolizes the glory of the Longxia camp but is also the lifeline of the entire main camp.

The battle banner has life points; once destroyed, the main camp would completely fall, leaving the Longxia camp facing defeat.

Lu Ran took a deep breath, looking at the millions of Longxia professionals around him.

Sensing their tension and the solemn atmosphere they involuntarily created, even as they came in to watch the show.

Lu Ran knew that the true beginning of the era of data had started!

Lu Ran took a deep breath and shouted:

"Everyone, line up!"

"According to pre-battle deployment, assign the dormitories."

"However, the combat areas and duties don't need to be specified."

"The only thing you all need to do is stay inside the camp, do not go out."

"Enjoy yourselves, chat, or whatever, it's all fine."

"Just wait for the end of the national war."

...

As the commander, Lu Ran should have been arranging things.

But this was his stage.

So there was really nothing to arrange.

Just a simple explanation.

The summary was one sentence: "In this camp battle, I'll fight alone, you all rest, and after it's finished, go back."

That simple.

Even though the defense professions and healing professions who came in had known about this arrangement for a long time.

But now, standing on the battlefield map, hearing Lu Ran's arrangement, it still felt somewhat unreal.

This...is after all the battlefield map!

Liu Xinxin didn't interrupt.

Even though she knew Lu Ran didn't have command experience, she didn't step in.

Instead, she waited after Lu Ran finished arranging.

She asked, "What's the plan? How to start? Quick finish, or take them down one by one?"

Lu Ran's lips curled slightly upward.

He said, "The seven-day battlefield time must be well-utilized; sweeping everything at once is efficient but not the effect I want. The very least is to target specific camps to make them feel true despair! Then to gather, because this despair will be transmitted beyond the battlefield through the live broadcast."

The target wasn't, or wasn't solely, the professionals entering the battlefield.

It was their respective camps behind them!

To instill fear nationwide!

And then global panic!

"Alright." Liu Xinxin nodded.

Lu Ran continued:

"The main camp refreshes in random locations; first, we need to determine our location, preferably within the battlefield map."

"Of course, nearby, other camps' main camps, the closest of which, how they're laid out, and which camps they are, all need to be clarified."

"Also, those few troublemakers, Japan and the U.S.A, better pray they didn't refresh near us."

"Otherwise, they'll be the first ones I deal with."

...

With these words.

Liu Xinxin looked at Lu Ran with some surprise.

Honestly, for Lu Ran to say these words, Liu Xinxin was quite surprised.

She hadn't stepped in, merely assisted.

But it seemed.

There was no need for her assistance at all.

Lu Ran's mind was meticulous, and his arrangements and deployments were quite reasonable!

"Alright, let's begin then." Liu Xinxin said.

Lu Ran's lips curled slightly upward.

Elf Wings instantly appeared behind him.

He murmured, "Begin."
