In the district where the Shadow Knights emerged from the east, Gu Xi noticed that most of the battles were between cavalry and cavalry, so there was no street fighting.

The range of combat mainly took place on the main streets of this district.

Glancing at the nearby houses that weren’t destroyed due to the battle, Gu Xi turned and ordered: ”Ghost Squad, clear these houses, and if there’s no problem, arrange for ordinary Undead residents to move in first. Adjust everything once it’s all sorted out.”

While speaking, Gu Xi walked to the other end of this district.

Gu Xi wasn’t very familiar with the situation in this district yet.

He simply named the district before him based on his judgment, temporarily calling it the Knight District.

Apart from the area initially connected to the region occupied by Gu Xi, the Knight District had passages leading to two different areas.

One led to the southern region where the Two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon emerged, and the other continued eastward.

The situation to the east wasn’t clear, the only certainty was that there was no reaction from that side yet; at least they hadn’t organized forces to press forward here.

However, Gu Xi did not believe there would be no enemies in the opposite urban area, and after circling this area, he had an idea.

”Amirka, take your troops and advance to the district ahead.”

In Gu Xi’s mind, the best defense was attack.

As long as they fought faster than the enemy, hitting them so they couldn’t react, then no matter how strong their Attack Power was, it wouldn’t be effective.

The current situation in the Knight District was precisely like this.

Amirka’s Attack Power and mobility were clearly above average, perfectly suited for continuous attacks.

Receiving the order, Amirka acted decisively.

His quick response wasn’t because Amirka was warlike.

Instead, the battle had just ended, and Gu Xi hadn’t withdrawn the Cyan Knights, Pale Knights, and White Robed Iron Cavalry from Amirka’s command.

With a rare opportunity to lead the cavalry in a Charge again, how could Amirka miss it?

In Amirka’s thoughts, he must lead the cavalry to Charge more.

If possible, he hoped for one Charge to reach the other side of the city.

In this short time, he could make good use of these powerful knights and cavalry units.

Thus, with Gu Xi’s order, he led the troops charging out, even ignoring the infantry units previously under him.

Seeing this, Gu Xi was slightly speechless, and he turned to order the Gladiatorial Black Guard and other units originally following Amirka.

Follow them, wherever they fight, you occupy that area.

Excluding this part of the Gladiatorial Black Guard, there were indeed some Skeleton Soldiers and Ghost units in there too.

But Amirka completely disregarded them; they were merely fillers.

After all, as a Leader, he couldn’t lead only some cavalry, right? The number of troops he commanded had to exceed other Heroes, right?

In the absence of other options, he naturally brought whatever troops he could.

But now that he had cavalry following him, Amirka certainly wouldn’t take them along.

Despite Amirka’s disregard, Gu Xi wouldn’t let Amirka just run wild.

Whether it’s the Gladiatorial Black Guard or other Ghost units, Gu Xi packed them all to be dispatched.

Even if they couldn’t match the cavalry’s mobility, they could still occupy the conquered urban areas.

After dispatching these units, Gu Xi turned to another newly conquered area, the South District after expelling the Two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon.

This district was the largest of the four newly conquered areas, with passages facing the north, east, and west, as well as three pathways.

Though Gu Xi hadn’t given orders, his subordinate Heroes were like Amirka, with ample troop numbers. Facing the three different roads, the three Heroes under Gu Xi immediately chose to set off independently.

They all understood that in this battle, they had to prove their capability to Gu Xi.

How to prove it? Only by fighting.

The first ones to Charge out were Kaga and Die Bone.

They were two Heroes counted as one, and they focused on defensive counterattack tactics.

No matter what happened, he could ensure his troops retreated safely.

Thus, upon reaching the end of this district and seeing three routes available, they directly chose the middle path.

Kaga and Die Bone were rather smart; they understood that choosing the side routes could lead to conflicts with other Heroes, so opting for the middle path was the best choice to monopolize the greatest achievement of this battle.

After Kaga and Die Bone claimed the best position, Robbie and Arroyo also got anxious.

They already had their own units, but hadn’t had the chance to act. Faced with such a great opportunity, they didn’t want to miss it either.

Thus, they quickly chose a district each and charged with their troops.

Luckily, they had some intellect.

Aware of their suitable combat styles, Robbie’s Bone-Slaying Camp was more suited for street fighting, so he picked a route with noticeably denser buildings and charged in.

Meanwhile, Arroyo’s Black Spear Camp was better suited for group battles, so he chose an area with fewer buildings for combat.

When Gu Xi arrived, only Mido remained in this area.

Seeing Gu Xi, Mido immediately stepped forward and said, ”My lord, how shall we proceed next?”

”You didn’t join the direct Charge?”

Curiously, Gu Xi glanced at Mido, not opposing the idea of his subordinate Heroes charging directly.

In Gu Xi’s perspective, these Heroes had sufficient Combat Power, and the troops they brought were also strong.

Such a battle was no challenge for them.

If he had more Heroes, Gu Xi would indeed divide Yalidu City into various-sized regions for them to handle directly.

He didn’t expect Mido to choose to stay behind.

”No worries, I lead troops with relatively high mobility, able to keep up. Besides, I felt I should still inquire about the next steps from my lord.

This city’s area is quite large, with ever-changing routes. If the target isn’t chosen well, some urban areas might be overlooked.”

His words were unintended, but they caught Gu Xi’s attention.

Upon hearing Mido, Gu Xi couldn’t help but pause.

”You say some urban areas might be overlooked?”
