Lu Ran accelerated and flew over.

As he approached the camp, he stopped and flapped his Elf Wings in the air.

He overlooked the camp below to check the situation.

The size of the camp was similar to Longxia's.

The overall layout wasn't much different either.

This was Lu Ran's first time participating in a national war, and he didn't know what other countries' camps looked like.

It was his first time seeing one.

But he could guess that all the camps probably looked similar.

The only difference was the totem.

The totem on the flags!

And presently.

Around this camp, some flags had clearly visible totems on them.

The totem depicted was a special kind of goat totem.

The goat's horns twisted outward like screws.

"Is this Ba Country?" Lu Ran was somewhat startled.

Ba Country.

Traditionally not considered a competitor by Lu Ran's side.

A small place located to the northwest.

With a small area, sparse population, and overall relatively weak.

However, this small place has an unusual relationship with Longxia.

Even before global datafication, they were always a loyal ally of Longxia, even being jokingly referred to as Longxia's "little brother country."

For years, they have stood by Longxia's side, working tirelessly.

Even though they are financially poor.

Still, they have contributed greatly in terms of resource supply and public opinion support.

At present, their camp looked somewhat battered.

From Lu Ran's aerial perspective.

Though the camp seemed orderly, it was clearly planning for a turtle defense strategy.

This was how Ba Country operated in previous national wars.

If you looked closely, you could tell.

There was a lack of discipline, and the Professionals in the camp moved haphazardly.

Although they had organized several groups, adjusting configurations amongst themselves.

The cooperation between groups was obviously inexperienced, with some low-level Professionals looking completely lost while on patrol.

There was no way around it.

Ba Country has a small population.

To assemble a team of five hundred thousand Professionals was already an achievement.

So, it was filled with a lot of low-level Professionals.

Some might not even have grasped basic combat skills.

Truly brand new novices.

Obviously, to gather a team of five hundred thousand people, Ba Country had to lower its standards.

They recruited many low-level Professionals who were, in reality, not qualified to participate in a national war, just to make up the numbers.

While such a team had large numbers, its overall combat strength was significantly weakened.

It might even become a burden on the battlefield.

It didn't really matter.

Because even if you "died" in a national war, it's not real death.

As for rankings, Ba Country didn't care at all, however they placed was fine.

It had always been like this in previous years.

They got eliminated early.

Given such a setup, filled with many novice Professionals.

When two armies engaged, they were practically paper-thin and shattered upon contact.

Also, they severely lacked large-scale combat training and experience.

Lu Ran sighed slightly in his heart.

The relationship between Ba Country and Longxia had always been good, and Longxia had more or less taken care of them.

But after global datafication.

Competition among countries became fierce.

Business and economy were sidelined.

Exchanges between allied countries became less frequent.

After all, Ba Country was once 'little brother country' to Longxia.

Seeing Ba Country in such a plight, it even seemed somewhat pitiful.

Lu Ran couldn't bear it.

Down below.

Aside from a few patrolling soldiers, everyone else gathered around the battle banner.

A lot of the novice Professionals who entered for the first time were curiously looking around.

Some even had fear on their faces.

Because, although death in the battlefield map isn't real death.

This was, after all, a national war!

A large-scale military conflict!

The oppressive air brought by the iron-blooded and murderous atmosphere on this battlefield is not something novices can easily adapt to.

The commander of Ba Country was a big-bearded man.

He looked like a warrior.

Although somewhat wooden, he managed the basic deployments.

Then he sat at the front of the team, locking eyes with everyone.

His bodyguards around him also sat idle.

"This time, we don't know what rank we can achieve?" Someone couldn't help asking.

"Don't think about it, the longer it takes to get eliminated, the better," Big Beard said casually.

"If we're lucky, we might climb a few ranks," that person said.

"Hopefully, it'll mean more resources, but we have no idea what luck will bring, who will come knocking first?" Big Beard said worriedly.

After speaking.

Big Beard took a deep breath.

He smiled and said, "But it's fine. After all, our Ba Country has no real expectations. In this national war, our ally Longxia will reign supreme. I believe this time, Longxia will completely change the global landscape!"

When he said this, there was even a touch of pride on his face.

This truly regarded Longxia as his own people.

Before global datafication, this atmosphere was the same.

To be honest.

This is quite rare among so-called allied countries.

Most are tangled in interests, who talks to you about feelings?

Up in the sky, Lu Ran heard this, and his heart trembled slightly.

He hadn't intended to meddle in other people's business, but suddenly, he changed his mind.

With a thought.

The whole person descended from the sky!

"Yeah, Lu Ran from Longxia, an absolute stormy figure!"

"And he can summon the Elf Race army; who could stand against that?"

"Just worried about other countries launching sneak attacks or assassinations."

"Lu Ran is too powerful, he's sure to attract attention from other countries."

"It's a pity we don't know where Longxia's camp is, or we would go directly to support it."

"This camp, we might as well not have it."

"After all, it can't bring much rank anyway."

"Nothing we can do, the battlefield map is too big, searching for Longxia's camp and large-scale relocation is too risky."

"Chances are, before we even get there, the camp would be stolen."

...

They discussed.

Even thinking about abandoning their camp to support Longxia.

It was at this moment.

Boom!

A figure descended from the sky.

Lu Ran was even a bit confused.

Huh?

He just came in like this?

Wasn't the camp shield activated?

This was too... laid back!

As the commander, Big Beard jumped up all of a sudden.

He seemed a bit bewildered.

How did someone come so quickly?

The camp shield wasn't even activated yet!

No one expected someone so soon; they just entered not long ago, right?

They hadn't even warmed up their seats!

The other Professionals from Ba Country stood up and looked at Lu Ran.

But then.

Big Beard seemed to realize something, exclaiming, "Elf Wings! You... you are Lu Ran! You are Lu Ran of Longxia!"

Lu Ran looked at Big Beard.

He asked, "I am Lu Ran, are you Ba Country's commander?"

Big Beard nodded repeatedly.

Even nodding and bowing a little as he said, "Yes, yes, it's me. You... you are..."

After saying that, he looked up at the sky.

Did he just descend from the sky like that?

"Longxia's camp is not far from here, your camp is the closest to Longxia, I'm exploring the surroundings," Lu Ran said casually.

Big Beard was stunned.

Then he looked at all the Professionals around.

Then.

Their actions left Lu Ran completely dumbfounded.

They all collectively retreated a great distance.

Leaving the battle banner completely exposed.

Big Beard even smiled at Lu Ran.

The implication was: "The battle banner is right there, feel free to attack! After all, Ba Country getting eliminated early and serving as merit for Longxia, is also a kind of contribution!"
