Heroes of Might and Magic: Grand Consul

Chapter 362 Flesh Millstone

The upgraded units of the priests are no weaker than humans in melee combat, something Somra had anticipated.

But the gods and monsters are, after all, the best in close combat, and they believe they are no weaker than the arcane prayer beings. Moreover, with the spring connecting them, their ability to fight in melee combat can be greatly enhanced.

Using teleportation combined with high speed, the Lord of the Divine Spring Lamp immediately moved into position and engaged in a fierce battle with the Mystic Prayer.

With the attack bonuses from Soul Arrow and Governing, Orling was completely unafraid of being surrounded and attacked head-on without hesitation. He directly used the Magic Mirror Platform to elevate all the Arcane Prayers, thus avoiding a wave of attacks.

Although it's impossible to completely block attacks from flying units, taking advantage of this opportunity to defend against the enemy's first wave of attacks and then using Arcane Prayer to launch a counterattack is of great significance.

The opponent used magic to increase speed but failed to make the first move, which was indeed a bit of a loss.

With the support of the Phantom Bow, even when pressed close, the Arcane Prayer can still unleash spell arrows at close range, causing powerful damage.

The profound magical energy exploded instantly, sweeping over the Divine Spring Lamp Masters like wheat being harvested. Their already ethereal bodies instantly turned into a puddle of water, spilling onto the ground.

But immediately afterward, the Lord of the Divine Spring activated the spring link and unleashed buff magic to strangle the Arcane Prayer.

A few Divine Spring Masters even condense a spring of clear water before casting their spells to purify themselves of any debuffs, making it easier for them to fight with full force.

The triggered buff spells are also very useful, usually Holy Spirit's Blessing, Protective Shield, and even Prayer.

Somra's Genie skill also provides an attack bonus, while Orling's Soul Arrow skill provides a damage bonus. Both of these units are high-attack but fragile, and after just a few rounds, both sides were left with crippled formations.

However, this was closer to Su Mu's army, and his strongest swordsmen were ready to go. As soon as they saw the Divine Spring Lamp Master rushing up, they immediately launched a lightning attack.

Any legion ambushed by the swordsmen didn't even have time to release the fountain link before being instantly evaporated on the spot.

The only effective effect is that breaking the link will cause fixed damage, and some of the Arcane Prayers will be taken away.

And the main purpose of the Divine Spring Lamp Master's trip was to destroy the Divine Sacrifice Ballista. Under their powerful attack, they took away a total of 6 ballistas.

Although Orling was trying to eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible, the group effect of the spring link was unbearable. No matter who the Divine Spring Lamp Master's target was, they would be connected by the ballista. In this way, whether attacking or dying, the ballista would be damaged.

Of course, the attacked Arcane Prayer also suffers greatly. With Somrad's attacks and skills, the Divine Lamp Master is very strong and can almost instantly kill the Arcane Prayer.

In the extreme clash, both sides died at a visible speed. It was only thanks to such a powerful army that the casualties were achieved; any ordinary troops would have collapsed by now.

Under the combined attack of the Mystic Prayer and the strongest swordsman, the Lords of the Divine Spring could not withstand the onslaught and all fell beneath the Magic Mirror platform.

This magically constructed platform was filled with the flesh and blood of thousands of warriors, with severed limbs everywhere, creating a horrific scene.

The master of the Divine Spring Lamp died and transformed into spring water, which has gathered into a river that flows from top to bottom, washing away the blood and limbs.

"These guys are determined to destroy the ballistae, and we can't stop them. Luckily, I placed one in the back, otherwise the divine sacrificial cannons would have been completely wiped out!"

Ouling wiped the blood from his face, still shaken. He was somewhat prepared for the tower troops' attack, but he hadn't expected it to be so swift. Fortunately, the lord led his strongest swordsmen to provide timely support, otherwise it would have been a real challenge.

Su Mu wasn't too surprised. Somra, being proficient in both air and water elements, could unleash his strongest surprise attack capabilities, and when combined with the Divine Monster Lord, they were practically divinely aided. He silently cast Reincarnation, reviving the Arcane Prayer.

The reason Su Mu didn't command ranged units is twofold. First, Ouling can maximize offensive power and inflict maximum damage on the tower units. Second, this unit isn't afraid of death; unless the enemy possesses items or skills that counter resurrection, Su Mu and Maggie can perfectly revive them.

After all, the Arcane Prayer only has 30 health points, and it would be incredibly satisfying to revive him with the magical power of Sumu and Maggie (after taking power).

Moreover, this unit type possesses a 40% chance of fatal/critical hit evasion, making it well-suited for dealing with powerful surprise attacks. When facing the Divine Spring Lamp Master, who has dispel abilities, they use buff magic as much as possible to enhance their strength and avoid using curses that can be broken. This further increases their output to some extent, leading to an extremely intense battle between the two sides, a clash of heavenly thunder and earthly fire.

But in the end, it was Kuraki's army that had the last laugh.

If Su Mu were to be even more arrogant, he could declare: "Go ahead and unleash your attacks, I guarantee you won't die!"

Of course, given Su Mu's steady personality, he most likely wouldn't say that.

This wave destroyed thousands of Divine Spring Lamp Masters; it must be Somra's elite troops. Let's see what other tricks they have up their sleeves.

Everyone looked toward Winterfell, only to find that the enemy hadn't made much of a move, except that they had brought out the Golden Army and started their attack.

Somra's strategy was also clear: first, send men to raid and eliminate the enemy's ranged units, preventing Orling from attacking recklessly and requiring a lot of time to recover the fallen troops.

At this point, the Iron Man and Gold Man, who have strong magic resistance, were sent out to crush them head-on.

Even with Titan's Arrow and extremely high spell power, Su Mu still finds it difficult to use it against troops with magic resistance bonuses of over 75%.

"The Titan's Arrow, what a perfect treasure! It's a pity you don't know how to use it, otherwise my troops would have been defeated long ago."

Somra looked down from the air and saw Sumu, who was covered in lightning. For the first time, he felt a surge of emotion. Logically speaking, this should be the tower's divine weapon, but it was in the hands of a foreigner. It was a bit shameful.

However, the Arcane Empire also possessed a set of Titan Arrows, an advanced version of them, but it was controlled by the Void Throne and was never issued to any generals.

Indeed, who would have thought that the fallen Elton Kingdom would encounter such a formidable opponent?

Having experienced this battle, Somra remembered Marquis Kuraki very well.

However, we still need to probe their capabilities further.

"Jin troops, launch a full-scale attack!"

With another teleportation, the army was sent out of the city. By this time, there were very few troops left in the city, and Somra had given up on defending it.

In short, it's a life-or-death struggle to see who's more ruthless.

On Su Mu's side, facing Somla's all-out attack, with tens of thousands of Iron Man and Gold Man mixed troops at a glance, he did not show any fear.

Grasp the thunderous Titan's Arrow and charge forward with the strongest swordsman. At this moment, there are no tricks; in a narrow encounter, the brave will prevail.
