Syrian-Iraqi border, southeastern border city, Abu Qaymah.

The earthy yellow city complex and the surrounding Gobi Desert complement the yellow sand, as if it were a city hidden in the desert.

The whole city is dominated by bungalows and low-rise buildings of about three floors, and many places are piled up with the ruins of collapsed buildings, craters formed by bombs and shells, and small holes in the walls.

Traces of war can be seen everywhere.

A city on the Syrian-Iraqi border, Abu Kemal was once a scorching battlefield that changed hands several times before being recaptured by the IDF after being almost in ruins.

It's just that the calm is always short-lived, and the rebels still come to harass and fight with the government forces from time to time.

The Eagle Nation, the Russians, the Israelis, the Persians, the Saudis, the Kurds, the special forces, the mercenaries, the terrorists, all kinds of forces are fighting in this land.

The people who live here have gone from panic and fear at first, then to anger, to grief, and now to rejoicing in suffering.

Since there will be a bomb falling overhead at any time, a bullet can pierce your body at any time, and you can be killed in the next second at any time, why not be happy.

Everyone wants to leave, but not everyone has the ability to leave.

If you want to abandon your home and go to the unknown safety, you must first travel through the war-torn death zone and through the ruined countries.

In this case, it is better to live with your family and die together when death comes.

Today, however, Abu Kemal has become quiet.

The government forces stationed here have become even more nervous, with a large number of vehicles, including tanks and armored vehicles, blocking the roads everywhere, and military personnel stationed in machine-gun bunkers and sniper points, as if waiting for something.

The people of Abu Kemal were also terrified and did not know what was happening.

Since the government army recaptured the city from a terrorist group with the help of the Russian army, the last time there was a major war was last year when the rebels supported by the Eagle Nation came to attack, the city has enjoyed a rare peace for almost half a year, and today everything is going to change?

On the second floor of a critical building, Bedda, a middle-aged man, is nervously watching the intersection through the window, trying to see what is going on.

As one of the few remaining journalists in the city of Abu Kemal, his professional sensibilities gave him a vague sense that something big was about to happen.

The soldiers who were loyal to their duties did not seem to have the intent to kill, but were waiting for some momentous moment.

Soon, a heavily armed army appeared in the wilderness in the distance, the Star-Spangled Banner fluttering in the air.

The moment she saw this flag, Beida couldn't help but gasp.

It's the army of the Eagle Nation!

Do they want to completely tear off their skins, don't even want to fight a proxy war, and go directly to fight shirtless with the Syrian army and the Russian army?

If that's the case, bombs will definitely fall in the sky soon!

Betta immediately looked up at the sky, wanting to see if she could see the shadow of the unmanned bomber.

It's just that he himself understands that this is a luxury at all, and those planes fly too high to be detected by the human eye.

It's just that then he found that the number of the Eagle Nation army that had just appeared was not large, only a few dozen armored vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles and heavy off-road vehicles, and the total was estimated to be only a few hundred.

And the government troops guarding the city did not attack after seeing the Eagle Nation army appear, but fired a signal flare.

Then the Eagle Nation army quickly passed through the barricades opened by the government forces and entered the city of Abu Kemal, heading towards the only building in the center of the city that was not dilapidated.

The building, once the largest oasis hotel in Abu Kemal, miraculously escaped the fires of the war, sparing no bombs or shells, except for a few bullet holes in the walls.

The Eagle Nation army vehicle stopped in front of the Oasis Hotel, and then several soldiers dressed in generals' uniforms stepped out of the vehicle and entered the hotel.

Beida was wondering when another convoy meandered in the distance.

The moment he saw this convoy, Beida already understood that this was an ally of the government army, an advisory group of the Russians.

It is said that it is an advisory group and volunteers, but in fact, it is directly sending ground special forces to participate in the war.

The Russians drove straight in, driving several armored vehicles and tanks directly towards the Oasis Hotel as well.

Is this going to ...... Peace talks are coming!?

Beda's eyes flashed with excitement, and he almost jumped up and shouted hooray, but he couldn't contain his excitement, picked up his only remaining little son and kissed him on the forehead.

If peace talks can really be reached, they will no longer have to live in the shadow of war every day!

Moreover, if the other side chooses Abu Kemal as the location of the peace talks, it means that at least it will not attack the city.

Beda was thinking when another roar of engines in the distance was heard from the forward convoy when she saw an army with strange flags quickly approaching the outside of the city.

The size of this army was much larger, with hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, plus other pickups, jeeps, off-road vehicles and other miscellaneous vehicles, as well as modified artillery, at least a few thousand people.

And that flag made Betta's heart tremble.

This is the ranks of the rebels!

That's enough firepower to overturn Abu Kemal.

Are these rebels here to sabotage the peace talks?

Or did they simply not know that the peace talks were going to take place, so they were ready to attack Abu Kemal?

In that case, no peace talks will be carried out, and this place will immediately become a hell of killing!

Fortunately, what Beida feared did not happen, and the convoy of thousands of people separated from a dozen pickup trucks and off-road vehicles and rushed directly towards Abu Kemal.

And the government forces guarding Abu Kemal also seemed to have been informed, and did not embarrass the rebels, but directly let them in.

Sure enough, the direction they went to was also the Oasis Hotel in the city.

Betta's heart was stirring again.

This is really going to be a peace talk!

Behind the rebels is the Eagle Army, and behind the government army is the Russian Army, so to speak, the gathering of these four parties, especially the Eagle Country and the Russians, is obviously not to discuss the question of how to fight next!

It's really time for peace talks!

His heart was racing when he heard the sound of a helicopter propeller whistling from the sky.

Betta quickly leaned out of the window and looked into the sky.

More than a dozen helicopter gunships with the insignia of the Saudi royal family flew over the building and flew towards the Oasis Hotel in the center of the city.

Then came the roar of warplanes, this time several helicopter gunships, but with the IDF insignia (IDF) on the fuselage, and four F35s passing low in the air, as if to show their strength.

Beida couldn't help but feel that some of her brains were not enough.

Israelis and Saudis?

What are they coming to do?

Betta picked up a somewhat tattered telescope and looked over, and saw that the helicopters were also falling in the direction of the Oasis Hotel.

Soon, the roar of vehicles and the roar of engines were heard, and large and small convoys and flying formations entered Abu Kemal, bringing the southeastern border city to life.

Relying on his own professionalism, Beida was able to distinguish that among the people who came were Persians, Turks, Iraqi government forces, Kurds, etc., and even a few men on camels and full moon scimitars entered the city, and were greeted with great pomp and courtesy.

It seems that all the forces in this part of the Middle East have sent people to come together.

In the end, there were still a few construction vehicles and off-road vehicles driving together, and some people wearing engineering helmets and overalls looked hurried out of these vehicles, as if they had not had time to change their clothes because they were in too much of a hurry.

Pack...... Oriental?
