The best strategies were often the simplest and most practical ones.
Gu Xi's idea was simple. Since the enemy had already come to kill them, he would deal with them separately.
For cannon fodder below level 8, Gu Xi had enough troops to handle them, so he would leave them to the Heroes while he focused on enemies around level 10.
With Gu Xi's class talent, as long as he killed one enemy, he would gain one more level 10 soldier under his command.
As long as he killed four thousand enemies, the number of level 10 troops under him would match the enemy's numbers.
Once all the enemies were killed, Gu Xi would have eight thousand subordinates at level 10 or above.

With that in mind, Gu Xi naturally brought along the strongest troop types he could field. Units at level 10 and above, such as Ghost Dragons, Dual-Headed Bone Dragons, Nether Soul Dragons, Bone Titans, and Bone Armor Centipedes, along with more than a hundred Hellhounds he could mobilize, were all kept by his side.

Aside from the two Treants and Dimi and Amirka, who had already left, most of Gu Xi's Heroes had arrived nearby.
Looking at those Heroes,
