one district is manageable, but commanding across four districts simultaneously presents challenges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that we’ve taken three districts at once, next we’ll face simultaneous attacks from four to five districts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battles will become increasingly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most crucially, Gu Xi is only one person; he can’t direct multiple skirmishes simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems paramount to unleash the subjective initiative of leaders and heroes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Gu Xi immediately focused his attention on the eastern district.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amirka, leading a large contingent of cavalry and shadowy cavalry, had just gone through a major charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Amirka’s command, over eight hundred shadowy cavalry were immediately repelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These shadowy cavalry were supposed to be knights of some capability from within the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If organized, over eight hundred could pack a punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If raiding infantry directly, they could even fight ten times their number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet against equally powerful cavalry, they fell short compared to Amirka’s forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, Amirka’s cavalry force exceeded theirs vastly in size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this onset, over half of the shadowy cavalry were wiped out on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining didn’t fare much better;
