Heroes of Might and Magic: Grand Consul

Chapter 299 Shatter them!

Seeing that yet another human reinforcement force had arrived, this time a flying unit, Levin could only sigh silently.

Su Mu was a well-known general in the castle, so his arrival meant that the dragon knight was likely in grave danger.

For the Battle of Sunset, the Elders specially brought out the Dragon Balls so that Orlando could use its mobility to outflank the human cavalry army.

Judging from the current situation, although the cavalry is very strong, it is unable to effectively utilize its strength when facing a siege.

The fortified troops had all entered the city. Although they hadn't completely wiped out Isaiah's legion, they had basically taken control of the outer city walls. They still had a chance to hold off Conrad for a short time. If the dragon knights came, the battle would be over.

But to everyone's surprise, the army of nearly 2 men, including 100 phantom dragons, led by the elven dragon knight himself, was stopped by Su Mu.

Levin felt a slight regret. If he had brought the dragon knights and dragons to Sunset Fortress, perhaps he could have concentrated his forces and directly breached the city.
He shook his head, extinguishing this unrealistic idea.

There are no "what ifs" in war. If it weren't for Cloud City's distraction, Conrad might have arrived at the battlefield much faster, and Su Mu's troops would have joined the fight as well. Besides, the Silver Pegasus Star and the Earth-Shaped Pegasus came from the North and couldn't be in the first wave of combat.

This is the best solution we can think of right now, but we haven't been able to complete the final step.

"We haven't lost yet!"

"Warriors, charge forward and break through the human lines!"

By this time, Leven had no choice but to send all his troops to charge Isaiah's army.

The remaining few thousand people were huddled together in the dilapidated fortress, back to back, desperately resisting the repeated attacks from the outside, but they were already on the verge of collapse.

From some unknown breach, humanity was unable to hold the line, the legion was completely overrun, and casualties rose exponentially.

They could have fought back with their rock armor, but now each soldier was slashed at least four or five times and had no time to defend themselves. They were quickly chopped into mincemeat.

The pitiful cries and collapsing army formations were filled with despair as some were beheaded, while others fought back with all their might.

"Kill them! Kill them all!"

"Even if I have to die, I'll still cut them down!"

"Brothers, I don't need any more rescues. Let me pave the way for you and take them down!"

Some people, despite being stabbed multiple times, still clung to the centaur's leg, refusing to let go even in death.

In the last rays of the setting sun, Isaiah raised his sword and fought alongside his soldiers, disappearing into the crowd.

At this moment, the cavalry finally broke through the dwarves' wall of flesh and blood, stormed onto the city walls, and launched an attack on all the bastion troops that could stand.

Su Mu led the Gale Griffins to the ground, while Lie Feng unleashed his Sky-Splitting Wings, preventing the enemy's Silver Pegasus army from taking off. This deprived the enemy of mobility, hindering their ability to effectively deploy their forces, and they gradually fell into a disadvantageous position in the battle against the cavalry and Gale Griffins.

The hero with the Silver Pegasus specialization, Barrier, commanded his Silver Pegasus to put up a fierce resistance. However, the enemy's buffs were no match for those of cavalry and Gale Griffins, and the hero was essentially destined for slaughter.

Humans can easily take on four opponents at once.

Just as Murak pierced the head of the silver pegasus, Su Mu, in coordination with Gale, tore off the wing of one of the silver pegasus's wings, dropping it from mid-air to shatter it into pieces.

He gave a thumbs up: "You came fast! Looks like dragon knights aren't all that great after all!"

Su Mu laughed heartily: "A bunch of big lizards, what's there to be afraid of? It's the troops at Sunset Fortress that are a tough nut to crack, you'll have to share some with me!"

Murak quickly shook his head: "Then it depends on your strength. Save Isaiah first!"

The two heroes fought fiercely while engaging in lively conversation and even competing in killing enemies.

Mlak was a few years older than Sumu, but no more than 10 years older. Both were young and vigorous, and there was no fear in their eyes.

Although they didn't care much about the title of the Kingdom's Twin Stars, they now felt a sense of mutual respect. To wield a sword and ride into battle is the dream of every knight.

The two forces were like sharp knives, piercing into the belly of Leven's army and causing endless turmoil.

Even when Levin used magic to unleash a massive flood attack, it could only damage a portion of the legion. Moreover, once Su Mu arrived, he continuously cast water manipulation spells, and the enemy's exorcisms couldn't keep up with the magic being cast here.

With Maggie's advanced magical intelligence, Su Mu was completely unafraid of losing magic; in fact, the Magic Storm Moon amplified the effects of his magic, as if he had divine assistance.

Leven chose to launch a full-scale attack, leaving the rear defenses weak. Although he managed to overwhelm Isaiah's last defensive force, he himself found himself on the defensive. Almost all the Silver Pegasus were killed, leaving only a small number of Frost Treants and a large centaur army.

The dwarves who arrived at the city walls and the great elves who climbed the arrow towers were all entangled and killed, and the number of the bastion troops was greatly reduced.

There was no way around it. In the initial siege, they had barely managed to hold off the knights' resistance, nearly exhausting all their high-level units like treants and unicorns. Now, facing the cavalry legions and the griffon army, they simply couldn't hold them off.

Only by truly facing Su Mu can one know the power of his offensive and defensive techniques; he is virtually unstoppable in both offense and defense.

Left with no other choice, Levin used a magic scroll to perform a natural summoning, increasing the number of withered tree guardians to defend against the enemy's attack.

However, Murak and Sumu were too powerful and directly defeated the treant, arriving at the broken fortress.

Sir Swift dismounted and embraced the dying Isaiah, whose body was riddled with various weapons: centaur halberds, fragments of dwarven hammers, archer arrows, and even silver pegasus scimitars.

He had exhausted his last bit of magic; he was completely drained.

Even Su Mu's healing techniques were completely ineffective, a sign that his curse power was exhausted and his body was on the verge of collapse.

Heroes enjoy the immense power bestowed upon them by the heavens, but they are also bound to some extent, unable to be resurrected using ordinary necromancy or reincarnation. Isaiah is so badly injured that he is basically beyond saving.

The veteran grasped the hand of the Swift Knight, showing no sadness but rather some relief: "I did my best. The enemy failed to breach Sunset Fortress. The rest is up to you."

No matter who the enemy is, the people of Elton will not yield!

After saying that, the curse power within his body began to dissipate, turning into tiny particles of light that disappeared into Murak's embrace.

The venerable general fell in his final moments before dawn, but handed over his hopes to a new hero.

Life goes on and on, passed down from generation to generation—this is the true backbone of the kingdom.

Murak's eyes turned bloodshot as he commanded his cavalry to charge.

"Kill! Wipe out all these invaders!"

Sumu also commanded his troops to slaughter the remaining Esidor soldiers.

"Leave no one behind!"

At this point, Levin simply stopped using magic and transformed into a giant frost tree, personally entering the battle to fight against the humans.

"The Empire will remember your contributions; we serve nature!"

The armies of the castle and the fortress were locked in a chaotic battle, neither side willing to yield to the other, each believing themselves to be on the side of justice, thus rendering any distinction between right and wrong meaningless.

Whoever emerges as the final victor has the right to declare the other side false and weak.

Elton's army has never been closer to victory than it is now. Faced with an unreasonable and stubborn enemy, war is inevitable.

So, crush them!
