Indeed, those words had been spoken by Gu Hang.
Actually, whether it was the Mist Horse Star District or even further back the Purple Horse Sector, Border Horse Sector, or Iron Horse Sector, they'd have to decide whether to join the Seven Horse Treaty or not—Gu Hang would have to fight this war regardless.
After all, he could ignore the life and death of others, but he could not ignore his own.
If they didn't defend Steel Wing Star and Emerald Spring I, the Green Skins would swarm from the two northern sectors. The Alliance would then have to defend the Fatches Star System and the Flying Wing Star System.
It would be better to defend the former two.
Besides, Steel Wing Star was a fortress world, and Emerald Spring I was just a mining world; damaging them would not be a big loss. If the battle took place at Flying Wing Star and a cruiser dockyard was damaged, Gu Hang would have nowhere to cry.
One should never let the flames of war reach their homeland.
