Ranger - "Higher Vampire" [5th Campaign, 5th Mission]

Auto-translated
Hello. I will tell you in detail about my adventures:
First, I conquered all the mines with my main hero, and in addition, I dealt with other minor enemies with an auxiliary hero, but I only killed the Necromancers with the main hero so that I could designate the undead as sworn enemies. At the same time, I built a Castle. Then, in the Castle, I designated the undead as sworn enemies, bought a large army, and headed to the portal. There, I easily defeated the Castle. In the lower right corner, there is a "weak" group of undead. Without much thought, I used Astral Gates and stole a ring, which allowed me to increase the hit points of my units. Next, I went to the Dungeon with two heroes to explore the map faster. Everything was going well until I met Kolya. Well, his army was so-so: 250 archers and the rest in groups of 20-30. I defeated him without much difficulty; it's a pity I didn't have resurrection, but I used Raise Dead to minimize losses. Then, using the Summon Troops spell, I replenished my ranks and moved to the nearest Castle, located to the left of the center of the screen. I destroyed everything there and moved down because something was stirring there. Meanwhile, my second hero successfully passed through garrisons, using Astral Gates to steal the artifacts I needed. At the bottom, I encountered another Castle, which was also weakly guarded. Then, I went to the eastern part of the map to the portal. There, I saw a Castle and the evil Kolya sitting in it. Well, what can you do? This guy needs to be deprived of his Castles, so I attack! He gathered a decent army, about 3500 archers, 50 black dragons, and so on, he was well-prepared. I defeated him, but I suffered significant losses. Well, I enter the portal and say: "Please, give me some creatures," and, lo and behold, the nearest Castle is mine. I buy archers, druids, and horses in it. Meanwhile, my friend with the artifacts reaches me. I give him the entire army and reinforce it with the strongest units from the undead Castle. And I take a dragon to be more mobile and rush to the Sage. While I was running and convincing the Sage that I really needed phoenixes and that I was ready to give him a lot of valuable things for them, Kolya arrived. But the army was not as scary anymore. I had to tame him again. Then, I also arrived, using the Summon Troops spell along the way to gather the most powerful creatures. After gathering the troops, I went to look for Kolya. By that time, I had a pretty good army. I go, and I see another hero, so I attacked him too. He was so generous that he shared a bunch of artifacts out of the kindness of his heart. I, of course, got dressed up and went to look for Kolya. And Kolya, seeing this situation, decided to retreat and started running away from me. I had to chase him for a couple of days. In the end, Kolya, cornered, was forced to fight. Although "forced to fight" is a strong statement. In general, he had the standard: 50 dragons, 3000 archers, 250 vampires, and other junk. My army at that time consisted of 400 archers, 1700 skeleton archers, 100 ents, 25 black dragons, and 26 green dragons. In general, Kolya was defeated quickly. I hope my Walkthrough will help you defeat this cunning vampire!
