It is in this mission that Chaos magic helps the most (IMHO). Especially if the enchanted ballista is upgraded. But even without it, a barrage of charged Magic Dart or Shocking Touch spells against three sworn enemies works great. It's best to get the artifacts as quickly as possible. It is very important to destroy the dragon lairs as quickly as possible. The more of them remain on the map, the sooner the day will come when hundreds of dragons will arrive daily to Nicholas. First 666, then even more. I saw a formula somewhere.
I don't remember the exact time – it's been a while since I played. But I hope to get to this mission in version 3.0 soon. Yesterday, I finished playing the 4th campaign.
I also tried for a long time to complete the 3rd mission as Raileigh on Hero difficulty. Then I easily completed it on Veteran. I clearly lack the skill to play on Hero difficulty. In 3.0, it became much more difficult than in 1.5.

Question for those who have recently completed this mission on Hero difficulty or at least on Veteran. Preferably in versions 1.6 or 3.0.
Does Nicholas have a special ability? I'm just starting this campaign in version 3.0. I'm thinking about how to upgrade Faelan. Upgrading Empathy seems tempting. In combination with Chaos and Avenger, it's a powerful combination. However, if the Necromancer has a special ability, this combination can become deadly for the Empath himself.
