Li Xiubo returned to the sled, sat in the driver's seat, and closed the bulletproof windows. Then he said calmly to the Red Sky Alliance warriors, "You, commit suicide."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly causing an uproar among the Red Sky Alliance warriors. They stared wide-eyed at Li Xiubai in disbelief, as if they had heard the most absurd command in the world.

"Leader, what...what did you say?" a warrior stammered, his voice trembling with disbelief.

Li Xiubai didn't answer directly, but instead gave them a deep look, his eyes filled with both determination and helplessness. He slowly spoke: "I know this decision is cruel to you, but you know how many people covet my title as alliance leader? If they knew that I showed weakness to Chen Yu today, even kneeling before him, they would use this opportunity to incite rebellion, and our Red Sky Alliance would be plunged into utter ruin. And I would become the Red Sky Alliance's eternal sinner."

"Leader, rest assured, we will never reveal a single word about what happened today, even if it means our deaths!" the warriors shouted in unison, their faces resolute.

Li Xiubo shook his head and said coldly, "In this world, only the dead can keep secrets."

Li Xiubai's words were like a cold, sharp blade, cutting into the hearts of every soldier present. Their eyes shifted from unwavering resolve to astonishment, and then to profound despair. They had never imagined that their loyal leader would issue such a cruel order.

“But, Lord…” a warrior began with difficulty, his voice filled with resentment and struggle, “We are your most loyal supporters, how could we possibly betray you?”

Li Xiubo still did not give a direct answer, but said calmly, "After you leave, the alliance will hold a funeral for you as if you were heroes, and your families will be properly settled and taken care of."

Silence, a deathly silence, enveloped everyone present. The soldiers' faces were filled with shock, pain, and resentment. Their eyes lingered on Li Xiubai, trying to find a glimmer of hope, but Li Xiubai's expression remained as hard as iron, unwavering in the slightest.

“Alliance Leader, we…” another warrior’s voice trembled. He seemed to want to say something more, but Li Xiubai had already raised his hand, indicating that he didn’t need to continue.

"This is for the future of the Red Sky Alliance, and also for your own families." Li Xiubai's voice was low and firm. "I know this is difficult, but it's our only way out. As members of the Red Sky Alliance, you must be prepared to consider the bigger picture. Are you willing to make this sacrifice for the Red Sky Alliance, for me?"

The warriors exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with conflict and struggle. They loved the Red Sky Alliance, they loved their leader, but they also loved their lives and their families. Yet, at this moment, they seemed to understand a cruel reality: sometimes, for the greater good, they had to make sacrifices.

"I...I'm willing!" Finally, a voice broke the silence. It was the voice of a young soldier. Although his voice trembled, it was full of determination.

He took a step forward, looked firmly at Li Xiubai, and then raised the rifle in his hand, pointing it at his heart.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, and the young soldier's body fell limply to the ground, his blood staining the snow red. His eyes still held loyalty to the Red Sky Alliance and trust in its leader.

This scene was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. The other soldiers stared in shock at their fallen comrade, their faces filled with grief and anger, but even more so with an indescribable resolve.

"I'm willing too!" One voice after another rang out in the cold wind as the soldiers raised their weapons, aiming them at their vital points. Their eyes held no fear, only unwavering resolve and a sense of sacrifice.

Li Xiubai watched this scene, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew the cruelty of this decision, but he also knew that it was for the future of the Red Sky Alliance, for the survival of all of them. He silently closed his eyes, tears sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto his thighs, instantly freezing into ice.

"Bang, bang, bang..." The continuous gunshots echoed on the snow, each sound like a heavy hammer striking Li Xiubai's heart. He gritted his teeth, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, as if this could alleviate the pain in his heart.

When the last gunshot rang out, all the soldiers fell to the ground, their bodies stained red with blood, but their eyes still held loyalty to the Red Sky Alliance and expectations for the future.

Of course, not everyone was so "selfless." A few soldiers, seeing Li Xiubo's ruthlessness, even "rebelliously" pointed their guns at him, attempting to rebel against the Heavenly Gang.

However, Li Xiubo had anticipated this, and the bulletproof glass of the sled blocked the first wave of attacks immediately.

Before the "rebellious" soldiers could make their next move, they were killed by the remaining "loyal" soldiers.

Those "loyal" soldiers, after eliminating the "traitors," resolutely took their own lives.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, Li Xiubai felt as if his heart was being torn apart by a thousand knives, but he quickly regained his composure.

With a slam on the gas, he sped off on the snow-covered sled, leaving behind a trail of deep tire tracks and a landscape strewn with blood and death.

Li Xiubo believed that after killing these people, no one else would know about the humiliation he had suffered today.

Although so many people at Tianyu Base saw it, what does it matter?

Who would believe the words of a Tianyu Base soldier whom the alliance members deeply despise? He could easily claim that the people of Tianyu Base were slandering him, or even if he told the alliance members that Chen Yu knelt down before him, many people would believe him.

However, what he didn't know was that the scene of him and his subordinates, and even the scene of him kneeling before Chen Yu, had been recorded in its entirety by the ultra-high-precision reconnaissance satellite of Tianyu Base, and transmitted back in real time to several powerful high-ranking members of the Red Sky Alliance.

A ruthless game of power is about to sweep through the Red Sky Alliance.
