Chapter 142 Shadow Swordsman VS Manticore!(1/2)
It caused an uproar in the army.
Above the hills on both sides, there are figures wearing tight-fitting black leather armor, holding long swords, and short black cloaks flying behind them.
Shadow Swordsman!
The dark elves naturally recognized the Shadow Swordsman, so they were in an uproar.
Quack, quack!
The fourth-level harpy witch in the Undertide Legion flapped her wings and rushed directly towards the Shadow Swordsman.
"kill!"
If it were a manticore, Ellie would have led the team to retreat without saying a word.
However, some harpy witches whose hand-to-hand combat ability is no better than that of a first-order centaur and who only rely on their speed and flight advantages dare to cause trouble. Isn't that asking for death?
Facing thousands of units of harpy witches, 250 units of eighth-level shadow swordsmen have no pressure at all. The long sword in their hands can completely kill a child with one sword.

…
The harpy witch has only 140 health points. When faced with the Shadow Swordsman's attack, she can be killed instantly without even triggering the Shadow Technique.
And its own speed is completely useless to the faster Shadow Swordsman.
Massacre!
In less than a few minutes, the number of harpy witches was reduced to less than half, which shows how exaggerated the killing efficiency is.
The gap between low-level arms and high-level arms is sometimes greater than that between humans and dogs.
Even though the Harpy Witch is at the fourth level, its combat effectiveness is extremely limited. Its advantages are that it is fast and can fly. It can be used to disrupt or surprise enemy long-range troops on the battlefield.
Faced with the Shadow Swordsman whose killing efficiency was off the charts, he was naturally killed without any temper.
The remaining harpy witches quickly took off under the command of the hero and stopped attacking, otherwise the remaining number would not be enough to kill them.
Of course, I am not planning to ignore the Shadow Swordsman, but I am preparing to change another unit to take action.
Snap!
Manticores the size of giant elephants spread their bat wings and took off into the sky.
240 units!
In its heyday, the Manticore had a large group of 300 units, but the previous vanguard force destroyed a squadron of 60 units, and now there are only 240 units left in the Undertide Legion.
"withdraw!"
Ellie looked up regretfully at the harpy witches above her head. If they had been given a few more minutes, they would have been eliminated, so she had no choice but to retreat unwillingly.
Even though the Manticore is nothing among the ace arms.
But it is stronger than the Green Duck of the same level (Feilong:...), and its combat power is definitely far superior to that of the Shadow Swordsman.
There is a difference between the eighth-level elite and the eleventh-level ace by two levels!
If there are three regiments (3000 units) of Shadow Swordsmen, you can still try frontal combat, but if you only have 250 units, forget it.
The Manticore's size is extremely inconvenient in hilly areas with complex terrain and strewn rocks.
As long as the Shadow Swordsmen casually sneak into the cracks, the Manticore will have no chance at all and can only monitor from the sky or high places.
In this way, the Manticore was able to contain the Shadow Swordsman, allowing the army to continue advancing.
After a while, the dark elf army passed through this area.
"The opportunity has come!"
Ellie looked at the Manticores who were monitoring the area where the Shadow Swordsmen were hiding in the snow, with extremely dangerous eyes.
She walked slowly out of the crack in the stone.
Snap!
A manticore jumped from the sky.
Of course, the size of the Scorpion Master's giant elephant is not suitable for several of them to attack a single target at the same time, so only one of them attacks alone.
Boom!
The lion's paw, the size of a small round table, was slapped hard, even cracking the ground. If a flesh-and-blood body was eaten like this, it wouldn't even need to be rescued.
However, Ellie, who was well prepared, naturally could not be hit. She dodged in advance and struck back with a sword.
Poof~!
The long sword stabbed into the manticore's body, but the stab was not too deep because the opponent still had a thick layer of lion hair on his body.
After the attack was successful, Ellie not only did not pursue, but quickly dodged.
call!
The sound of breaking through the air passed by her, and if she had been slower, she might have been pierced.
In addition to having an extra pair of bat wings than a lion, a manticore also has a long scorpion-like tail. This is the opponent's trump card and the origin of its name.
But after the Scorpion Tail attack, it was the Manticore's turn to be unlucky.
Figures suddenly emerged from the shadows, and the swords in their hands were thrust out quickly and mercilessly.

-244
-251
…
Dozens of damage figures popped up.
If ordinary soldiers were to withstand so many attacks, they would definitely die.
But it's different when it comes to the Manticore. As a medium-sized ace soldier with a HP of 14,400 points, this round of attacks can at most take away nearly half of Xiao's HP.
But after the attack, shadows stood up and stabbed directly.
Imitation!
In the past, when facing low-level troops, they were mostly instantly killed without the need for shadow output. Only now do they have room to use.
With a round of shadow attacks, the manticore's health dropped again, losing more than half of its health.
But before the Manticore could launch a counterattack, the Shadow Swordsman's second round of attacks had already begun.
The Shadow Swordsman is mainly about agility, and his attack speed is extremely fast.
Although it is not as good as short weapons such as daggers, it is impossible to give the manticore a chance to counterattack, so it can be killed instantly with the second round of attacks.
In other words, the manticore is not small enough to allow dozens of shadow swordsmen to attack at the same time.
If it were a small target, it would be good if several people could attack at the same time.
flutter!
The manticore corpse fell.
The time from attacking Ellie to being solved by the sudden appearance of the Shadow Swordsman was no more than 10 seconds, and the process was nothing short of lightning-fast.
Before the other manticores could come to take revenge, Ellie took these shadow swordsmen and scattered and hid in various rock crevices.
Hunt!
Now the manticore is the prey and he is the hunter.
It was just a test. If the tactics are effective, they will of course be implemented in batches.
With preparation, it is impossible for the Shadow Swordsman to rush into the street without being able to hold on for one round.
As long as you can lure the manticore over and dodge the opponent's scorpion tail attack, you can let the nearby shadow swordsman use shadow jump to approach instantly and focus fire to kill the manticore instantly.
It's not impossible if you don't pursue the instant kill effect, but attack slowly, but you need to bear the risk of the manticore's counterattack.
With the Shadow Swordsman's HP just over 1,000, he can't withstand the manticore's attack, so it's safest to kill him instantly.
Using this tactic, the Manticore was killed one after another.
It was probably because the hero in charge of the opponent realized that something was wrong, and the army had already left the hilly area, and there was no need to continue to target the Shadow Swordsman, so the Manticore was allowed to evacuate, otherwise all the Manticore would be killed sooner or later.
Just killing 52 units of Manticore, his own record of no damage is dazzling enough.
Manticore is an ace-level unit!
Even though he is not ranked high, he is still an ace, but he was hunted by an elite-level shadow swordsman without any damage. His performance cannot be said to be 'dazzling'.
Exclusive troops + reasonable tactics can achieve this result.
Of course, it also has something to do with the opponent's hero not being present.
To be continued...
