- After you reveal cards in your Provinces at the start of your turn, if this Event is face-up in one of them, each player, starting with you and proceeding in turn order, may choose one of his units. They join Fu Leng's Horde. Give all Shadowlands cards in the chosen units +2F. Create an Attack Phase with no Attacker, and with the Defender being the last player who did not choose a unit or, if all players chose a unit, the last player who chose the unit which currently has the lowest Force. Assign all chosen units to the attacking side at the Defender's leftmost Province's battlefield, even if he controls one of the units, and fight a battle there. During this Attack Phase, only the Defender may assign units to defending armies or take actions. After the battle's resolution, destroy all chosen units.
