Heroes of Might and Magic: Grand Consul

Chapter 268 Frosty Three-Headed Demon Dog
Heading north to support Conrad, Su Mu not only brought the strongest swordsman, but also the Arcane Prayer.

Although the strongest swordsman could easily fight against thousands of demon legions, Su Mu usually kept his combat strength at a level that could handle unexpected situations.

He had already sent Wayne to scout and find out roughly what the enemy's attributes and numbers were.

The commander of this invasion of Hell was not Karl, but another demon, shrouded in flames, who enjoyed instigating war.

Based on the description in this intelligence report, Su Mu judged that the other party was likely a demon hero who had been teleported from an underground world, and most likely a general under a certain Abyss Lord.

Based on Su Mu's understanding of the Hero World, the continent they are on is one of the four continents of the world. Its specific name has changed many times, and it should currently be the continent of Aether, a region where elemental power gathers.

The abyss is a chaotic region floating in another dimension, with an unknown location and a harsh living environment.

Of course, there are also hellish forces on the continent of the Hero World, but unlike the Abyss, they are more like regimes established by powerful demons, and are relatively more lawful.

The hellish hero who emerged from the no-man's-land was someone who never existed before. It's highly likely that Karl connected to an unknown world and summoned the demons from the abyss.

These heroes are more chaotic and wicked, filled with ambition. They are very different from the natives, being pure destroyers. But these people usually have a very abnormal skill: they can build altars and perform unit transformations, making them suitable for fighting in the field.

If the enemy launches a large-scale surprise attack on a city, it is very likely to create chaos, and then, based on the characteristics of the Demon Lord, to take appropriate action.

Sumu first arrived at a city in the north-central region of the North, Salt City, which had been occupied by the Barriers and had not been captured even after Conrad returned to reclaim the lost territory.

This time, the city was completely overrun by the heroes of hell, who set the entire city ablaze and scattered sulfurous soil.

[Sulfur Soil: Corrosive land where ordinary vegetation cannot survive. Hell forces gain +1 speed when marching here.]

"These bastards have polluted vast tracts of grassland into wasteland and slaughtered living beings; they're like locusts!"

Although Oling disliked the Barrier Race, he disliked the Hell Forces even more, especially since their methods were so evil, turning living people into Hell units. They were practically public enemies.

"My lord, we have spotted a legion of over a thousand three-headed hounds approaching us. Their fur is pure white, blending seamlessly with the snow, giving them excellent camouflage."

A three-headed hellhound baptized by water elements? Su Mu was ready to see for himself.

They continued onward, and about half an hour later they encountered the large group of three-headed hounds, who were hunting down a group of centaurs.

Only a few dozen centaurs remained, most of whom had become food for the hunting dogs.

They struggled to run forward, but could not shake off the pursuit of the three-headed hounds. When they finally saw an unfamiliar army, fear made them lose their ability to judge and they rushed towards Su Mu and his group, trying to escape in the chaos.

Unfortunately, they were met with even more ruthless blows.

With a wave of his arm, only a few of the Arcane Prayers launched an attack, blasting the centaur into pieces. The panicked sounds ceased, and the entire grassland fell into a deathly silence.

The three-headed hounds had excellent perception and clearly sensed the strength of this force. Baring their teeth, they began to retreat gradually.

【Frost Tri-Headed Demon Hound (Hell Tier 3, Tier 2 Unit, Water Elemental Baptism): Attack 12, Defense 10, Damage 4-9, Health 30, Speed ​​8, Medium Size.

Element: Water.

Triple Head: Can attack 3 enemies simultaneously, and the enemies are unable to retaliate for a certain period of time. If all three heads attack one enemy at the same time, the enemy's defense is reduced by 3, and there is a chance to suffer additional frost damage and a freezing effect. Frostblood: Can benefit from the terrain advantages of lava and snow, increases speed by 3, and is less likely to be detected.

Evaluation: The Frost Trio: one for feints, one for biting, and one for freezing food with frost.

Overall, the three-headed demon hound baptized by the water element is quite effective. After all, even the most powerful soldier would find it difficult to withstand attacks from three heads at the same time.

Of course, it's only a possibility; compared to the strongest swordsmen under Su Mu's command, there's virtually no chance they'll wield their broadswords a second time.

After a thunderous explosion, a hundred of the strongest swordsmen crossed the battlefield from afar and arrived at the demonic hound formation. They launched a ring attack, and the dog meat suddenly became fragrant. Everywhere were flying demonic hound corpses, which were easily defeated.

In fact, with the current strongest swordsman's strength, combined with Su Mu's advanced fearless offensive technique, he can basically kill ordinary level 6 troops instantly. For troops like the Three-Headed Demon Hound, he can kill four or five of them with one sword, without breaking a sweat.

Thousands of level 3 soldiers are not enough for the strongest swordsman to sharpen his sword.

Previously, it was the three-headed demonic hounds that devoured the lives of ordinary people, infusing them with distortion and fear, slowly driving them insane until they were corrupted into new hounds.

But now, as they flee, their bodies splattered with the blood and bones of their companions, they are nearly driven mad by fear.

The reason why vicious dogs are vicious is that they can attack like madmen, completely abandoning their fear.

But now they are like stray dogs, being chased and fleeing in panic. Some, unable to bear the humiliation, want to fight back and have mustered up the courage to launch an attack.

The strongest swordsman grabbed the dog by the neck with one hand and gripped his greatsword tightly with the other, easily severing the terrifying demon heads and stomping them into the soil as fertilizer for the grass.

A group of three-headed demonic hounds, seemingly an elite force, surrounded the strongest swordsman who had charged to the front, attempting to launch a pincer attack. The strongest swordsman, however, showed no fear, standing still and waiting for them to bite. Even as the demonic hounds gnawed their teeth to pieces, they couldn't break through the swordsman's defenses.

These evil and brutal demon hounds could no longer face such a terrifying swordsman; their legs began to tremble, and they lost the strength to even run away.

In fact, they couldn't escape either. Faced with the speed of the strongest swordsman, the Frost Three-Headed Demon Hound had no chance.

The reason we haven't killed them yet is mainly because we're hoping to catch a big fish and see if we can lure the chief general of hell over.

"I'll lead the strongest swordsman at top speed, bypassing this area to the border. Orling, you continue to lead the Arcane Prayer to sweep through and force the enemy to reveal themselves!"

Su Mu wasn't satisfied with just killing some fish; he wanted to catch a big one.

Demons from the abyss are usually wealthy creatures, and may even carry powerful level 4 treasures. Their powerful altar cores have many uses and are rare materials for expanding field barracks.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the enemy is very skilled at escaping and not easy to catch. Therefore, he plans to lead his troops to flank the enemy's rear and wait for them to be captured.

These guys are very good at manipulating people, not only through the application of magic, but also through real-life cunning.

At this crucial moment, he didn't want the other party to disrupt the overall situation.

The best way to deal with conspiracies and tricks is naturally to stab them in the neck!
