Heroes of Might and Magic: Grand Consul

Chapter 260 Show off your power
The city walls were already filled with blood elves, bows drawn and arrows nocked. These soldiers, baptized in blood and flesh, were elite troops trained in the Dragon's Illusion and were best suited for defense.

Vidal was confident in holding Frosthold because of these blood elves.

Blood Elf (Bastion Tier 3, Tier 2 Unit, Flesh and Blood): Attack 14, Defense 11, Ammo: 24, Damage 6-10, Health 35, Speed ​​8, Size: Medium.

Element: Flesh and Blood Evolution.

Crossbow Shot: Fires twice in quick succession. Upon killing an enemy, there is a chance to cause an explosive attack that deals damage equal to the enemy's total health.

Weak Dragon Blood: Makes the Blood Elf's eyes brighter, increases attack range by 20%, damage by 20%, and attack accuracy by 50%.

Evaluation: Blood Elves who inherit dragon blood possess higher attack, defense, and health, and also gain superior vision.

Although Vidal is a hero specializing in Pegasus, he also possesses exceptional archery skills, which gives him confidence in dealing with the invading enemies.

It's impossible to wipe out the cavalry legion, but as long as we hold out until the magic circle is complete, and as long as the enemy's cavalry can't get in, they can make Conrad pay a heavy price if they try to storm the fortress with griffins.

Moreover, in order to enable him to defend the city, the elders will bestow upon him a special treasure, which will surely surprise him greatly.

Vidal looked out of the city and thought that the swordsmen and cavalry would each draw some of the fire. Who would have thought that these reckless swordsmen would run faster than horses, obviously with added speed boosts.

"Are you in such a hurry to die?"

"Let the enemy see how powerful we are!"

With a wave of his hand, Vidal signaled thousands of blood elves to aim at the enemy charging at the forefront, ready to fire.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, and the city was shrouded in blood mist, as if a demon was whispering. The entire Frost Fortress army was cursed, and every soldier was surrounded by a layer of bloody light.

The ground beneath their feet was a bloody mess, and nameless ghouls grabbed the soldiers' ankles, slowing them down; red miasma surrounded them, weakening them as they inhaled it; the sound of death knells filled their ears, and everyone felt an impending doom; even the most valiant soldiers felt excruciating pain in their hands and feet, and could barely hold their weapons.

The four great curses descended, covering a vast area, affecting the entire city, and no one could escape them.

The most terrifying thing was that a wave of water descended from the sky, and the blood elf who was drawing his bow and nocking an arrow suddenly became confused, his mind went blank, and even if he forced to shoot, he could not condense magical power into the bow and arrow, losing his ranged ability.

"Amnesia technique? How can it cover such a wide area?"

"Cursed armor! The opponent actually has a combination of treasures; they're quite well-prepared."

Vidal glanced at the city walls. All the ranged units were unable to attack. As for the four curses, except for the Slow spell which was half ineffective, the other three curses all hit.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the fearless swordsman advanced another distance and was now very close to the city wall.

"act recklessly!"

Even at this point, Vidal remained very calm, because he was a hero with advanced water elemental mastery.

The enemy's cursed armor might be useful against brute force heroes, but it's far from enough to conquer Frost Fortress. They might gain a slight advantage, but it's nothing to fear.

With a wave of his hand, a light, ethereal water curtain spread out, rescuing the lost archer from his amnesia.

No matter how many curses you have, exorcism can break them all; that's the confidence of someone with advanced water elemental mastery.

However, his confidence did not last long. After the exorcism spell spread, the amnesia spell did lose its effect, but none of the other four curses were dispelled, clinging to all the soldiers like a bone-deep wound.

"How is this possible! How can it not be dispelled!"

Vidal was completely stunned; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He had faced opponents with magic-suppressing abilities before, or fought against enemies with strong magic resistance, but once the dispelling spell was used, even if it couldn't defeat the enemy, it could restore his own allies' status. He had never seen a curse that couldn't be dispelled. His memory raced, and he quickly recalled the legendary combination treasure.

"Oh no, an upgraded combination treasure!"

Seeing the blood-red mist enveloping the entire city, Vidal was filled with worry. He roared, "Get those Void Cult guys to install the magic circle immediately, or I'll take their heads!"

At this point, there was no other way but to do everything possible to hold off the enemy and buy time for the void restriction.

Fortunately, the enemy's main force consisted of swordsmen, and their numbers were not large. As long as they could not teleport, they could not easily enter the city.

As for the enemy's siege, he was well prepared. On Vidal's middle finger was a ring shaped like a small heart, hard and thick, like a rock.

【Heart of the Rock (Tier 3 Treasure): Immune to level 1-4 earth elemental magic damage and increases resistance by 50%. Heroes can create underground tunnels, the length of which is affected by spell power.

Evaluation: The Heart of Rock is formed from a massive amount of earth element; it is rumored to be a component of a powerful artifact.

It was precisely because of his unwavering resolve that he had some resistance to the Slowing Spell and was only hit by half of the magic.

Moreover, heroes stationed in cities who carry this treasure can affect city walls and defensive structures. This means that even if the enemy uses Earthquake, there is a 50% chance that it can be negated. Combined with the already sturdy Frost Fortress and Void Barrier, no matter how powerful the enemy's ground forces are, they simply cannot break through.

The plan was good, but who would have thought that the cursed armor would cause such an unexpected incident?

We can only urge the Void God Cult to complete the restriction first, and then everyone should work together to defend it tenaciously before reporting back to the Marshal.

"My lord, the void restriction is about to be activated!"

The Void Cult was clearly working very hard for the city they were about to capture, and for the first time, Vidal thought that the guys in the tower were actually quite reliable.

The blood elves, now with restored ranged abilities, followed their commander's orders and began to attack the fearless swordsmen at the forefront.

Although the exorcism spell failed to remove their status effects, it did dispel the Fearless Swordsman's Swiftness Acceleration. Furthermore, since the enemy lacked an atmospheric shield, even with their reduced damage output, the 5000 archers could still inflict tons of damage.

But the result was unexpected once again. The crimson arrow struck the fearless swordsman's armor without even a spark, and it did not cause any damage.

Vidar initially thought the reduced lethality might not be very effective, but he didn't expect it to be this bad. It was completely ineffective; what kind of steel-like body did the opponent have? Even an elven dragon knight wouldn't have such defensive capabilities, would they?

He considered himself a seasoned general, yet he was repeatedly astonished by this army in a single day.

But we can't worry about that now. As long as we keep the enemy army outside the city, we can defend it. Even if the ranged units are less lethal, we can still limit the enemy.

The void within the city rose, creating a vast area of ​​nothingness that rapidly expanded, covering the entire Frost Fortress.

Just as the activation was about to begin, a powerful water-based fluctuation occurred, and the fearless swordsmen outside the city were teleported in by Ouling.

Although teleportation is limited by magical power, it wouldn't be difficult for him with only 500 people.

Ivan led the fearless swordsmen through the city gates and immediately saw the defensive formation in the center of the city. The formation had just been built, and no defensive measures had been taken around it.

Once they defeat the defenders, they can dismantle the defensive formation, allowing Orling to continue teleporting his cavalry. When the entire army enters the city, the enemy's forces will be in such poor condition that they will have no chance of survival.

"Brothers, charge with me!"

Figures transformed into silver lightning, blasting the city's buildings to smithereens, like monstrous beasts rampaging across the land, unstoppable by anyone.

Their only goal is to defend against the magic circle!
