Samarkand.

This is an important ancient city in Central Asia and is a must-pass place on the Silk Road on the ancient road.

From then on, the city goes east to the Heavenly Kingdom, to the West to Persia, and to the South to the Heavenly Kingdom.

It can be said that this is an important city located in a transportation hub on the road and the capital of the Timur Empire in Yunning's previous life.

In this world, there is naturally no Timur Empire. However, as the transportation hub of the three major sectors of the Celestial Empire, Persia and India, Samarkand is still very rich.

But today, this city that has been prosperous for thousands of years is filled with a panic atmosphere everywhere.

The reason is very simple. The two strongest powers in the world, the Celestial Empire and Europa, are about to go to war.

The place where they started the war happened to be this city located in the center of Eurasia.

Countless Samarkand cursed the rulers of the Celestial Empire and Europa, why did they place the battlefield in their own country? But there was no way, the form was stronger than that of people, and the two strongest countries in the world went to war, so it was naturally impossible to sit by and watch the war burn their own country.

As a buffer zone, Samarkand enjoys the benefits of major transportation routes in normal times, and now he naturally has to pay the corresponding price.

This is a common decision of the two major alliances and cannot be changed by the little Samarkandians.

Therefore, the capable Samarkand people chose to escape from this glorious city for thousands of years. Those who are incapable can only wait for death here.

"Why put the battlefield here?"

In the military camp, Zhou Liancheng asked Yun Ning:

"Isn't it okay to put it in a little north? Why do you have to put the battlefield in this city?"

"Further north, it's Talas."

Yun Ning shook his head and said:

"I can't put the battlefield in Talas because it's unlucky. As for why the battlefield is here, it's just because it's suitable for large corps to be deployed. This city is stretching mountains to the south and west, and it's not suitable for decisive battles. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, in terms of geographical location, the center of Eurasia is located in the Western Regions within our Celestial dynasty. We can't let the war burn in our own territory, right? Therefore, we can only feel aggrieved by these Samarkand people."

"Talas? What is that!?"

Zhou Liancheng said curiously:

"Why would it be unlucky to have a decisive battle there?"

Yun Ning shook his head and said nothing.

After all, Li Tang in this world did not experience the Battle of Talas, so it is normal for Zhou Liancheng to not understand the meaning behind this city. However, Yun Ning is a time traveler, and he cannot choose the battlefield in Talas.

At this moment, Chen Hao walked into the military camp and said to Yun Ning:

"The soldiers have settled down and can start a war at any time. Where is the other party? When will they arrive?"

"It should be soon."

Yunning nodded:

"If you start from Europa, if you take the North Line, it should not be difficult to reach Samarkand. I guess they will be able to arrive at the station in the next two days."

"Report~"

As soon as he finished speaking, a scout rushed into the military camp and reported to Yunning:

"The enemy has arrived at the pre-determined position and has now issued a letter of war to us."

After saying that, he handed the letter of war in his hand.

Yun Ning took over the war book, read it in a hurry, handed it to Zhou Liancheng beside him, and said:

"If you send the order, the entire army will be well repaired. Tomorrow morning, a decisive battle will be launched in the open area north of Samarkand!"

"yes!"

The scout responded, then turned around and went out to convey the order.

...

That night, countless people tossed and turned in the military camp of the Celestial Army and couldn't fall asleep.

Although the Celestial Empire had fought for years and these soldiers were considered to have experienced many battles, they were all wars within human beings. Even if they failed, human civilization could still survive.

But this time it is different. The enemy's goal is not as simple as seizing power, but rather taking the elves away from humans.

What a terrible thing this is! You know, since humans tame elves, all technological developments of human beings have revolved around elves. Once human beings lose the power to raise elves, the entire human civilization will collapse in an instant.

Therefore, all the soldiers in the Celestial Army were full of worries.

They can clearly feel that they are shouldering the future of mankind.

...

The next day, early morning.

There was no noise or chaos. After the soldiers of the Celestial Army had enough food and drink, fed their elves, they lined up and arrived at the designated battle site.

During this process, no one spoke, and the atmosphere of the entire army was suppressed to the extreme. Everyone knew that once this battle failed, the entire history of mankind would be rewritten.

In sharp contrast, there is the army of "dawn". These people are talking and laughing along the way, and even the army formation is not well-arranged. They don't look like they are going out to fight, but instead they are like boys and girls coming out for a spring outing.

Only Yun Ning knew in his heart that these seemingly uncontrollable enemies contained an extremely terrifying force.

The name of this power is faith.

It is a fanatical belief that is about to establish an ideal utopia.

Although they look very loose on the outside, this does not mean that their combat effectiveness is poor. Because the core idea of ​​"Dawn" led by Sun Ruoxi is "ideal". "Ideal" is different from reality. It is a kind of imaginative imagination and does not need to be as down-to-earth as "reality".

The "Dawn" army took a full half hour to line up, and during this period Yunning did not choose to attack the other party.

After all, in the case where both sides have god-level elves, the significance of sneak attacks is not very great. Secondly, "Dawn" is an idealistic group of people. Once they tear through the "morality" and launch a sneak attack on the other party, Yun Ning cannot guarantee whether the other party will burst out stronger power because of this.

Anyway, this war is essentially a decisive battle between the Phoenix King and Arceus. Just follow the steps and do what you should do.

On the other hand, seeing that Yun Ning did not choose to attack his army, Sun Ruoxi sighed slightly in her heart.

What a pity, if the other party dares to attack, his combat effectiveness will rise directly to a higher level due to the "anger value".

However, such things cannot be forced. It is an unexpected surprise for the other party to fall into the trap, and it is normal for the other party to fall into the trap.

Thinking of this, Sun Ruoxi rode a thunder and lightning zebra out of the military formation and shouted to the army of the Celestial Empire:

"Where is Yunning here!?"

“Here!”

Hearing Sun Ruoxi's words, Yun Ning rode out and shouted to Sun Ruoxi:
Chapter completed!
