Heroes of Might and Magic: Grand Consul

Chapter 391 A Sword Parts the Clouds

When the God and Monster Lord saw the strongest swordsman, he was also taken aback. Wasn't it said that Kuraki's main force was not there and there were only ranged archers in the city? How come so many fully armed warriors have come?
Of course, they were just a little surprised, but they didn't think the other party was a threat.

With only 600 people, unless an archangel descends, the genie under the genie's command is truly not afraid of them.

More than 4000 divine beings stormed into the inner city, half of whom were Genie Lamp Masters, air elemental baptism troops. The other half were rare earth elemental baptism troops, clay lamp masters.

【Clay Lamp Master (Tall Tower Tier 5, Tier 2 Unit, Water/Earth Elemental Baptism): Attack 14, Defense 18, Damage 13-18, Health 65, Speed ​​11, Large Size.

Elements: Water/Earth; Flying creatures.

Mudstone Prayer: Can cast an earth elemental buff spell on friendly units, with random effects (level 1-5 spell, equivalent to advanced).

Stone Armor Protection: Adds a layer of stone armor that resists both magical and physical attacks, permanently reducing damage by 30 points. It re-forms periodically. Its amplification is doubled by Protective Shield and Stone Skin.

Mud Fusion: Summons mud monsters for battle. These mud monsters can strengthen the Clay Lamp Master with a 50% success rate. This can only be used once per battle, and each Clay Lamp Master can fuse a maximum of 3 mud monsters.

The clay lamp holder's vessel resembles a clay pot that spews mud. The nearly six-meter-tall lamp holder can even fly, perched on the city wall, looking down at the strongest swordsman with a disdainful expression.

Before the colossal clay lamp masters, even the strongest swordsmen could only reach their arms; no wonder they were so arrogant.

Even more outrageous, they can summon auxiliary combat units that merge into their mud bodies.

Mud Monster (Special Tier 4, Tier 2 Unit, Earth Elemental Baptism): Attack 10, Defense 14, Damage 6-9, Health 30, Speed ​​5, Sturdy build.

Element: Earth.

Soil Gathering: Condenses the body of soil, gathering it to replenish the clay lamp master, increasing this monster's stats by half (minimum damage).

It has to be said that with the possession of the Mud Monster, the Mud Sculpture Lamp Master's abilities have increased dramatically.

After all, individual attribute values ​​are usually only enhanced by higher-level units; other units can only increase their numbers. However, numbers are often insufficient to break through some extremely strong defenses, rendering them meaningless.

With the buff from three mud monsters, the Clay Lamp Master boasts 29 attack power, 39 defense power, 22-27 damage, 110 health, and 18 speed, making it quite formidable.

Of course, recruiting Mud Monsters takes time and is not always successful; only a very small number of units can be assembled into a complete force.

Once they climbed the city wall, they created a powerful sense of oppression.

However, the strongest swordsman ignored them, raised his longsword, and headed straight for the Lord of the Lamp.

In terms of threat, even the fully formed Clay Lamp Master is just a monster that looks a little bigger. The strongest swordsmen can teach them a lesson in no time. With their defensive and offensive techniques, combined with their battle formations, this swordsman legion truly deserves its title as the strongest.

However, the Genie's skills are too overpowered; there is a chance (30% chance of destruction by prayer) to wipe out half of the same race's troops, regardless of their defenses, they will all be attacked equally.

[Genius Lamp: Make a wish during battle. After every 3 attacks, gather your spiritual energy into the genie lamp. There is a 30% chance to wipe out half of the enemy's same race (only works on level 7, tier 1 and below troops, and the initial number of wishing monsters must be greater than or equal to (enemies/3). If it fails, gather energy again)]

Therefore, the team with the highest hatred value is the one that must be eliminated as soon as possible, and even if they cannot be all killed, their numbers must be reduced.

In the blink of an eye, the strongest swordsman had already climbed the city wall.

Before the Lord of the Lamp and the Clay Lamp Master could react, the swordsmen swung their greatswords, and the swirling flames instantly swept across the city walls, like a flaming divine sword that cleaved through the dark clouds shrouded in lightning, revealing a rare ray of sunlight.

In the intense clash, Ivan chose a fire elemental baptism, aiming for maximum damage.

The raging flames engulfed all the enemies on the city walls.

All 1700 Genie Lords (and their upgraded units) have perished!
The remaining few hundred people, who had barely climbed up and hadn't even shown their faces, had their arms and torsos severed, barely managing to save their lives. Meanwhile, the clay lamp master began fighting the strongest swordsmen, only to find he was utterly helpless against them.

To the Tower Heroes, this scene seemed like a complete fantasy.

"How! How is this possible!"

"Isn't the strongest swordsman in Kuraki? A trap! This is a trap!"

"Damn it, the Crimson Curse can't be dispelled, we're trapped."

"Are swordsmen even human? This was a force personally reinforced by Lord Somra, and it was wiped out in a single blow?"

At this point, the heroes of the Arcane Empire began to panic, their initial confidence vanished, and they began to doubt whether they could still win the battle.

Only Somra saw what had just happened. The strongest swordsman launched a lightning strike, catching the newly climbed monster lord off guard with incredible speed. These fire-elemental-baptized units have the characteristics of ignoring defense and increasing damage. The enemy possesses ring attacks, even triple attacks. Most terrifyingly, the enemy's morale is high and their luck is extremely high, allowing most units to launch continuous attacks and critical hits. Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the monster lord was wiped out.

"Su Mu has a special ability to push the morale and luck of the troops to the limit. Not only did the opponent completely resist the negative effects of the lunar eclipse, but he was also able to launch an even more abnormal continuous attack."

Only heroes of Somra's caliber can instantly read the enemy's skills and discern their true strength.

He had been wondering why the Earth Bow had such a high chance of receiving morale boosts, but after seeing the strongest swordsman, he basically understood.

It's highly likely that Su Mu possesses a combined skill of Advanced Leadership and Advanced Luck. This ability wasn't even fully revealed during the last battle in Winter City, suggesting that he has a subordinate hero and a morale-boosting artifact; otherwise, he wouldn't be this overpowered.

"What should we do? They've clearly deployed Kuraki's troops here, intending to ambush us!"

Some people have already started to panic, and it's understandable that they are. After all, the strongest swordsman is too terrifying. That powerful clay lamp master could even flatten several cities in other places, but here in Silver Top City, he was killed by Huan Ji in the process. He's simply inhuman.

"What's the panic! Are you scared of a little trouble? What kind of war is that!"

At the critical moment, Somra issued a rebuke, unleashing his thunderous wrath, and no one dared to utter a sound.

Somra was helpless. He had been badly beaten and had fallen into an enemy trap. If he didn't reorganize his troops soon, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to fight anymore.

But he still has a trump card.

Another chain of lightning struck, but this time only the first strike hit the Arcane Prayer before the next one landed in a hidden area of ​​the city wall.

What was originally just empty space suddenly revealed a large number of flying units, which were none other than the master of the lamp who had become invisible with advanced stealth techniques.

Somra knew that the watchtowers could detect disguises, but given the size of Silvertop City, it hadn't yet reached the level of advanced disguise/concealment. So he deliberately laid an ambush with a Genie, intending to use it as a decisive measure.

Who could have predicted that Su Mu would be so cunning, concealing information and secretly maneuvering, allowing the strongest swordsman to wait until the very end before launching his attack.

He really underestimated the other party.

But it's okay, he has a backup plan.

"Lord of the Lamp, kill him!"

Thus, the genie of the lamp, imbued with the abilities of swift acceleration, teleportation, and prayer, launched a surprise attack on the strongest swordsman with lightning speed.

A fierce battle immediately broke out between the two sides.
