"What?! Big sister! Y-y-you … Are you crazy? " Gu Tiandong, who had the most impatient personality, was startled by Gu Qing Han's words and cried out, but he immediately regretted it. This was because Gu Qing Han's words held unparalleled authority in the Gu family, and no one dared to defy her. This wasn't because she was a dictator, but because everyone was sincerely convinced by her. Even the Gu family's old man never interfered with Gu Qing Han's decisions, and this was even more true for the 3 brothers.
He had yelled at many of his subordinates before, but he had never yelled it at Gu Qing Han. This time, he couldn't help but cry out; it was evident how much Gu Qing Han's decision affected him.
"Big sis … you're not … joking, right?" Gu Tianping looked up at Gu Qing Han. He had never seen Gu Qing Han joke before, but no matter how he looked at it, her words sounded like a huge joke. This was not something that Gu Qing Han, who had always been wise and farsighted, would say. They had been watching the situation in front of the new city, and they were very clear in their hearts. Asking the Skyfall Dynasty, who had nothing to do with the new city, to help the new city … this was something that even an idiot wouldn't do.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Gu Qing Han asked expressionlessly.
"But … but … Big Sis, do you know that there can only be one player city in a war zone? If the new city is exposed, anyone who thinks they are capable enough will fight for it at all costs in Hua Xia. In order to destroy the new city, the Yan Huang Alliance had mobilized almost all of its members. More than half of the top 30 guilds on the Guild Rankings had come, and the attacking army numbered more than 15 million! Today, we have been hiding in the back, and we don't even have the guts to rush up and take over the city. You want us to help the new city at all costs … our entire Skyfall Dynasty can only support 3 million people at most. Even if we don't hold back at all and send out all of our forces, 3 million against 15 million … isn't that just throwing away our entire Skyfall Dynasty? "Gu Tian Dong couldn't control his emotions as he loudly yelled.
"Yes, big sister." Gu Tianping hurriedly nodded. "You weren't in the game before and didn't pay attention to this matter. You definitely don't know the current situation, so …"
"No, I know. I've also been paying attention to this matter. My understanding of it is not inferior to yours." Gu Qing Han said calmly. She looked at her 3 little brothers, who all had different expressions on their faces, and said, "15 million. This is the largest army in Hua Xia's history to attack a city. Their goal is to destroy the city, but the main reason is because of their greed and desire, as well as their indifference towards the new city's owner. If that city was built by the Yan Huang Alliance, I'm sure no one would dare to touch it. "
"With a scale of 15 million players attacking the city, there are less than 500,000 players defending the city. Now, even if a miracle happened, it was almost impossible for the new city to continue existing. I know all this very well. " Gu Qing Han continued to speak, "I also understand that even if the Skyfall Dynasty sends out all of its forces to support the new city, the outcome will not change. At most, they will be able to delay the destruction of the new city. However, the price will be 200 casualties on the enemy side and 1,000 casualties on our side, and the Skyfall Dynasty will be destroyed. All of the Skyfall Dynasty's players will lose 1 level and greatly lose equipment, which will greatly reduce the Skyfall Dynasty's strength, to the point that they will never be able to recover. The Yan Huang Alliance, who has always been our enemy, will take this opportunity to destroy the Skyfall Dynasty, making it so that we won't be able to rise again. "
Every word that Gu Qing Han said was an ironclad truth, and every word proved that the Skyfall Dynasty definitely could not help the new city. Moreover, there was no reason for them to help the new city.
Gu Qing Han's tone changed, and her voice became incredibly resolute, "However, what I said just then was not a joke. Even if the Skyfall Dynasty is destroyed, we will send out all of our forces to help defend the new city. "
"But big sis …"
"Second bro, third bro," Gu Tian Nan suddenly spoke, cutting Gu Tian Dong off as he said seriously, "Don't say anything for now. Don't we know what kind of person big sis is? When has big sis ever made a wrong decision? "
He looked at Gu Qing Han as he continued, "Big sis, we've never doubted your decisions. It's just that this time … I'm sure big sis has a good reason for doing this. I hope big sis can tell us first. Otherwise, even if it's big sis' decision, we … don't dare to send out the entire Skyfall Dynasty to help the new city. We've invested so much time and effort into developing the Skyfall Dynasty to where it is today, and if it's destroyed because of this … then … then … then … big sis, I'm guessing that you want us to pretend to help the new city, so that when there's no hope, they'll give up control of the new city and give us the City Creation Token? "
Gu Tian Nan's words caused Gu Tian Dong and Gu Tian Ping's eyes to light up … that was right! That's it, that must be it! If they just waited by the side and tried to steal the City Creation Token from the Yan Huang Alliance and the other powerful guilds, the chances were so low that it was almost negligible. However, what if they looked at it from a different perspective and helped the new city? That would be a completely different story! The new city was in a hopeless situation, and if the Skyfall Dynasty went to help them … and did everything they could to help them, they would definitely be incredibly grateful. As for why they would help them … the reason was very simple! Because of Li Xiao Xue, the Gu family and Li family had always been on good terms.
However, even if the Skyfall Dynasty went all out, they wouldn't be able to stop the attacking alliance. In the end, when there was no hope, what would the owner of the City Creation Token do? That's right, there was a 99% chance that they would give it to the Skyfall Dynasty. The reason was very simple – rather than having the City Creation Token stolen, it would be better to disband the new city, take back the City Creation Token, and give it to the person who would help them.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was the right thing to do. The 3 of them couldn't help but feel great admiration and shame … it would be impossible for them to obtain the City Creation Token like they had done before. On the other hand, the big sis had thought things through. Although they would suffer some losses, the City Creation Token would be within their reach, so the losses would be worth it. No less than expected from big sis; she couldn't be any more wise. Just then, we doubted big sis' decision; we were simply too stupid and shouldn't have.
Seeing her 3 little brothers' eyes suddenly light up, Gu Qing Han knew what they were thinking. She lightly sighed as she said in a low voice, "It's not what you think at all. What I want is for you to protect the new city at all costs, even if you have to fight to the last man. Apart from that, there's nothing else. Unless a miracle occurs, there will only be one result, which is the destruction of the Skyfall Dynasty. Moreover, this destruction will not bring any benefits to the Gu family or the Skyfall Dynasty. There will be no trade involved, and only the Skyfall Dynasty's sacrifice is equivalent to sending the entire Skyfall Dynasty to their deaths. "
The air seemed to freeze as the 3 Gu brothers stared at Gu Qing Han, unable to believe their ears.
"Big sis," Gu Tian Nan's voice was quite hoarse, "Us 3 brothers have only ever respected big sis. As long as it's big sis' decision, we … we'll definitely follow. However … we need a reason, a reason … "
After developing to this point, the Skyfall Dynasty was ranked second only to Hua Xia, and in the entire world, it was ranked in the top 20. They had sacrificed far, far too much to achieve this sort of scale and prestige. The Skyfall Dynasty was like the 3 brothers' child, and they had carefully raised it step by step with their blood, sweat, and tears. However, their big sis' decision was sending the Skyfall Dynasty to their deaths … sending them to their deaths without any benefits.
To them, this was equivalent to throwing their child into a pit of fire.
"A reason …" Gu Qing Han closed her eyes and turned around, not allowing anyone to see the tears that flowed out of her eyes. Her normally cold and dignified voice became as light as the wind, "It's been 10 or so years, and I thought that I had already died. At the very least, my heart was completely dead. The reason why my body is still alive is because I need to support the Gu family. I've been living for the Gu family at all times. "
The 3 brothers felt their hearts being greatly moved.
If it wasn't for Gu Qing Han, the Gu family would not exist. This was something that no one in the Gu family, or even the entire southern side, would doubt. If it wasn't for Gu Qing Han, perhaps the Gu family would have fallen to a second-rate family, or even withered away due to the cruel division of benefits. However, because of Gu Qing Han, the Gu family once again became the head of the esper families in the southern side, and they were able to do whatever they wanted in the southern side … this was why the Skyfall Dynasty was created in the virtual world.
Even the name 'Skyfall Dynasty' was given by Gu Qing Han. Only the 3 brothers knew that this name contained a bone-deep hatred that Gu Qing Han would never be able to extinguish.
In other words, without Gu Qing Han, the Skyfall Dynasty would not exist.
No one knew better than the 3 brothers how much Gu Qing Han had sacrificed for the Gu family over the years. The Gu family affected the entire southern side, and their benefits were linked to countless regions. She had to think about and deal with countless things every day, and the amount of sleep she had every day made their hearts ache. Over the years, apart from those short periods of sleep, she had spent every second working for the Gu family's present and future. She didn't have her own time, nor did she have her own hobbies … because she didn't have any hobbies, and almost no one had ever seen her smile before … even today, she was still all by herself, and had decided to spend the rest of her life in solitude for the Gu family …
The Gu family had become more and more powerful, but when had she ever been happy? When had she ever lived for herself?
She didn't seem like a living person, but more like a machine that worked for the Gu family.
Looking at Gu Qing Han, who had her back to them, even though they had grown used to this for more than 10 years, their hearts still ached. Compared to what their big sister had done, the 3 of them added up couldn't even compare.
Gu Qing Han's final words sounded in their ears, causing their bodies to tremble, "This time, I want to do something for myself …"
This short sentence was like a hurricane that engulfed the hearts of the three brothers, causing their hearts to churn. They looked at each other, and their gazes were the same … there was no longer any doubt, reluctance, or reluctance in their eyes, only determination.
Doing something for themselves … to normal people, this was incredibly normal! However, over the past 10 or so years, this was the first time that Gu Qing Han had asked them to do something for her …
"Big sister, don't worry. The entire Skyfall Dynasty will go to protect the new city, and not a single person will be missing! Until the last person dies! "
Gu Tian Nan spoke resolutely and decisively, and Gu Tian Dong and Gu Tian Ping heavily nodded … they didn't even ask for the reason, because Gu Qing Han's words were the only reason they didn't want to refuse. The Skyfall Dynasty was the culmination of their blood, sweat, and tears, but compared to their big sister, it was nothing. This was something they were doing for their big sister, not for the Gu family … let alone the Skyfall Dynasty, even if it required their lives, they wouldn't hesitate at all!
They cast aside all distracting thoughts and made up their minds. The 3 brothers left together, returning to the virtual world as soon as possible.
"Brothers and sisters of the Skyfall Dynasty, bring your most powerful equipment and replenish yourselves. Within 10 minutes, gather at the Azure Forest Village. If you don't arrive by then, no matter what reason you have, you will be kicked out!"
