Escape

Miraculously, I pitted the knight against the demon – now there’s only one demon left pursuing me https://c2n.me/3SBNqtf (and I have boots and a bunch of good artifacts). Before that, I crushed the demon garrisons, so I’ll take out the remaining two knight garrisons and the demon himself. Just a couple of steps separated me from the battle, but then the knight decided to block the Sanctuary where a secondary hero was stationed, and the demon ate him, suffering significant losses in troops in the process. Against him, I have my strongest slot – 123 Vampire Princes, and good ranged units (4 ranged attacks per turn), overall slowing, and -4 morale from artifacts (passively, the Demon Ring and Necromancer’s Cloak), so he’s doomed. By the way, after completing the quest for the Dwarven Hammer, I kept the hammer – is that what I’m supposed to do? In any case, it’s the best item; I don’t want the club with minus initiative or the useless staves. The bow and the Novice’s Staff will clearly be weaker in an army with only 20 liches and 0 skeleton archers. ---- Damn... I killed the demon, which had the Forgotten Hero’s armor and the Boots of Magic Defense displayed on it, but I didn’t get anything. I just saw that a blue hero with his starting army reappeared near the starting garrison
