"This day has finally arrived."

In the U.S.A meeting room.

An air of gloom hung over the room.

Everyone looked at each other, all with grim expressions.

All these people were on the registration list for the faction war.

But none of them had the confidence to lead the U.S.A into battle.

In fact.

After discussing for a long time, they couldn't even select a commander.

It's not that no one had the ability to command.

It's that.

In the face of the current Longxia, whoever became the commander would have to take the blame!

If they lost, if they ended up at the bottom, the higher-ups wouldn't care about your commanding ability, they only cared about the results.

Losing is losing, elimination is elimination.

It's all the commander's fault!

"Let's discuss what we should do; tomorrow morning, we enter the faction war battlefield," the leader pondered aloud.

The room was silent for a few seconds.

Then someone spoke:

"At this point, we can only bite the bullet and go for it."

"Our team is already equipped with the best equipment available in the country."

"It's just a pity that in previous confrontations with Longxia, we lost too many of our high combat professionals."

"It's not just that, the deaths of several guild leaders have also greatly affected us."

...

Talking without saying anything!

They seemed to chatter for a long time, but in the end, it was just one sentence—bite the bullet and hope for the best!

"I have an idea," someone suddenly said.

Oh?

The leader's eyes lit up.

He wanted to hear something different!

"Once the war starts, Longxia will definitely target us, the U.S.A. Although you don't want to admit it, this is an undeniable fact," that person said.

"Go on," the leader nodded.

At this point, there was nothing to be embarrassed about admitting.

The feud is what it is.

Longxia and the U.S.A have been in dire straits for a long time.

That's different from Japan.

Longxia and Japan are mortal enemies!

But with the U.S.A, they're absolute competitors!

"So, since we will be targeted by Longxia."

"And we are currently weaker than Longxia."

"Just Lu Ran alone, no one can deal with him,"

"Don't forget, Lu Ran can fly and has the Elf race army as support!"

"Apart from that, there must be other abilities we are unaware of."

"Therefore, we cannot fight this battle according to conventional arrangements."

"I suggest replacing at least one million, no, two million offensive professions."

"Replace them with defense professions and healing professions."

...

The room exploded in chatter.

"What are you talking about?"

"Why replace so many with defense and healing professions?"

"If we do that, how can we fight? How do we deal with other factions?"

...

But facing everyone's criticism.

The leader's eyes brightened, paused, and said, "Continue, tell us your thoughts."

The person ignored others' doubts and continued:

"It's simple; although the national war is for seven days, Longxia is at its peak now. We are not fighting each other, but competing to see who can be eliminated last by Longxia, do you understand?"

Saying this.

The person looked around.

Seeing no one refuted, they all had a thoughtful look, although unwilling, yet helpless.

The person continued, "So, this time, let's not think about causing trouble for others, because have you ever thought that if Longxia targets us first, what will be our fate? Can we win?"

If we can't win, then we'll be the first to be eliminated!

Last place globally!

"Nonsense! The battlefield map is so big, how could they find us first? The camp positions are all random," someone couldn't help but refute.

"Sounds good, but what if we're unlucky? If we're just not far from Longxia, isn't there that possibility? And I believe even if we're separated by several camps, Longxia might ignore them and come for us first! Besides us, there's only Japan, and if Longxia comes for us, with our current team setup, we're done for!" the person stated.

The doubts immediately vanished.

After a few seconds of silence.

Someone asked, "So, you mean, we shouldn't think about causing trouble for other camps, but hold our ground? Regardless of how strong Longxia is, if they can't break us down shortly, they might move on to other camps, and if we're lucky enough to be far from Longxia, then holding our ground gives us an advantage. Without fighting, without losing a single soldier, we can get a decent rank."

This statement was correct!

Hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned.

Then they all nodded:

"It's a way. Since we can't win, we'll all just hold our ground!"

"This way, the elimination rank won't be too bad."

"First place will definitely be Longxia's, without a doubt, so we have to aim for second best."

"Good, good, this can work."

...

Hearing everyone's agreement.

The leader immediately stood up and said, "This is a good plan; it's still time to adjust the registration list and quickly replace the team members, but there's no need to specify how many offensive professions to replace, instead, replace all offensive professions entirely! Not one left!"

Since we're going to hold our ground, hold it to the extreme!

"Five million defense professions and healing professions, I want to see if Longxia, no matter how strong, even with the Elf race army as support, can break us!" the leader said spiritedly.

The previously gloomy atmosphere seemed to clear away.

Immediately.

Everyone left the meeting room and began to prepare intensely.

At least in their view, the problem seemed to have been somewhat properly resolved.

But unfortunately.

What they didn't know was that Lu Ran might not necessarily target them first, perhaps Japan, but the second would definitely be the U.S.A!

Neither Japan nor the U.S.A, this pair of difficult allies, could escape!

Moreover.

Even if they replaced all with defense professions and healing professions, it would be useless!

In the face of Lu Ran's undead army, there's no difference!

On the other hand.

In Japan.

"How's the team we sent out? Any news? Have they found Nanami?" the Shintoism leader asked.

But no one spoke on the scene.

"What? No news yet? Are they dead or alive? At least give me some news," the leader urged.

Seeing the leader was pressing.

Someone finally stammered:

"Cross-border communications have been shut down, and we can't contact our people."

"But this also means they've infiltrated Longxia."

"Maybe they haven't found Nanami yet?"

"Or they might be in contact."

"We need to wait a bit longer; at least they aren't dead yet."

"Although a small part died in the Forbidden Sea, thirty-some have entered Longxia."

...

The leader was about to roll their eyes at this point.

Looking at the night outside the window.

They yelled, "The goddamn national war is tomorrow morning! If there's no news tonight, if Nanami doesn't return, just wait for death!"
