Chapter 405: Being Stabbed in the Back Before the Attack Was Successful

"Surrender? Hahahaha... are you telling a joke?" A young man with a ferocious expression behind Silas said fiercely, "You are only one person, and we have dozens of people. If we want to surround you, let us surround you, right? ?”

Silas said nothing, his brows furrowed even more tightly.

The energy in the talking "robot" in front of me is amazing, it's really weird.

In addition to the type of magic they control, the duel between mages also depends on their own magic power.

And Silas could feel that the opponent's energy was more than double that of all the mages behind him combined. If he really wanted to fight, even if he could absorb this guy's magic, he might not be able to defeat him.

Unless you can find a more special and powerful rare magic.

"This is your last chance. If you surrender now, maybe I will plead for you in front of King Jarvan III." Li Lin said without thinking.

Since Demacia is going to change the law, a considerable number of the persecuted mages who escaped from prison should be pardoned.

It's just that because they were imprisoned in a dark dungeon for a long time and were treated inappropriately by the demon hunters, these people had long-standing grudges in their hearts.

As long as there is someone who can serve as the "leader" and incite their emotions and hatred of being wronged, these people will rush to the forefront of the battle without hesitation.

In any case, the vast majority of these mages are actually not at fault.

The reason why they followed Silas in the rebellion was simply that they felt it was too unfair for Demacia to convict them just because of their magical talents, and they wanted to overthrow this system.

Whether they have magic or not is something they have determined since they were born, and it is not something they can choose.

As soon as he came into this world, he was pronounced guilty by the laws of his mother country and had to be judged. Who could bear this?

A mage is also a human being, and a mage’s life is also a life!

"Ha, what do I think you are? It turns out that you are another lackey of the Light Shield royal family." Silas spat on the ground, "Since you chose to side with the Light Shield, don't blame me... eh? "

Before he could finish his words, a creepy feeling of being stared at by something dangerous made him tremble.

"what……"

Silas took a deep breath and looked around. Through his perception of energy, he could faintly feel that there seemed to be some invisible "dirty" things around this street.

"I've given you a chance. Don't toast or eat as a penalty."

As Li Lin's words faded, hundreds of storm robots floating in the air, which had locked onto the group of people below, reappeared from stealth, causing the escaped mage below to exclaim in surprise.

"What the fuck is this?!"

"What the hell, why did this thing suddenly appear?"

"The Forbidden Demon Stone... no, it's metal. It's very different from the legendary Galio who can move."

"They can actually fly!"

"..."

Even Silas couldn't help but feel nervous inside, but on the surface he tried to remain calm as much as possible, pretending as if nothing had happened.

Although he said he didn't know what the Storm Robot was, the energy contained in each of these things was much greater than his, which was not a good sign.

"Is this what you call surrounding us? Just with this pile of junk?" Silas deliberately sneered.

As the leader and pillar of a group of rebellious mages, he must be fearless in the face of danger, so as not to demoralize the already disorganized and improvised small group and lose the motivation to fight, thus leading to the failure of the uprising.

Otherwise, they will have to go back to the dark and damp dungeon. Catching a mouse is a "delicacy from the mountains and seas", and living a life worse than a pig or a dog every day.

Oh no...if they are caught again this time, I am afraid they will not face imprisonment, but hanging.

So no matter what, Silas is unwilling to be knocked down here.

Even if they can't kill the light shield or the blood of their lackeys, they must at least escape from the capital first and make plans for the future.

After thinking for a moment, Silas didn't leave Li Lin a chance to speak. He took a few steps forward and directly swung his right hand covered with silver-white steel shackles with forbidden magic runes, dragging the hanging thick golden iron chain straight. Swing towards the storm robot closest to you.

As the heavy iron chain was thrown into the air with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, he activated his magic and quickly released the magic power absorbed in the rune steel.

The cold blue mist overflowed from the chain, dyeing the entire golden iron chain blue, and suddenly became straight and hard enough to easily break a thick marble whip.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Silas' magic-covered chains had approached a floating air combat machine.

However, such a fierce attack is nothing to the storm, which has already been equipped with an intelligent system and can be shared with Li Lin's armor network and controlled by the intelligent brain with stronger computing power.

The Hex Crystal in its body continuously outputs energy, causing the blue-white light from the metal connection gaps in its body to leak out, covering the entire not-so-large fuselage in the blink of an eye.

This is the performance of the air combat machine Storm when it activates "overload charging".

I saw the energy-filled chain swinging in the air, full of magic power, straight through the storm, but it did not cause any damage to it. What it hit was just an afterimage.

Silas felt that his hands were empty and he had not made any mistakes, so he couldn't help but secretly cursed "Oops".

But before he could stop, several nearby Storms turned their guns and aimed at the chains that had not yet landed on the ground, firing mini-plasma cannons in unison.

Silas sensed the danger and instinctively rolled to the side and back to dodge.

At the same time, the miniature plasma energy cannon exploded, and the strong impact caused Silas, who had just stood up in embarrassment, to stagger.

Fortunately, two young men ran out next to him in time and helped him, so that he did not fall to the ground again.

"Are you okay?" a mage asked with concern.

Silas waved his hand with lingering fear, and suddenly found that his right hand was much lighter. It turned out that two-thirds of the rune steel chain connected to it had been fused.

If you choose to absorb the energy just now, you will definitely be shattered into pieces...

No, it should be said that not even the scum will be left!

His expression was horrified, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the hundreds of storm robots floating in the air, densely arranged and neatly arranged, with their guns pointed at him, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Silas snorted deliberately to embolden himself, and the blue arc pulsed in his palm. This was a high-level thunder element magic that ordinary mages could not master.

It happened that there was a dangerous mage in the crowd who knew this kind of magic, so he borrowed it and used it.

The beating arc made a crackling sound, and the two mages who were helping Silas stepped back in shock.

Silas, on the other hand, stared at Li Lin with a solemn expression.

The fire attack just now was completely ineffective against him, and the current lightning attack shouldn't have much effect either.

Therefore, he continued to focus on the storm floating around him, "Haha!"

With a loud roar, Silas's hands overlapped, triggering a piercing hot lightning to shoot diagonally upward.

Not only him, there were also many mages in the alert crowd who tried to use various types of elemental magic and even arcane magic to attack the storm.

Unfortunately, when a translucent blue energy barrier appeared around the storm, all the magic attacks hit them but did not cause any damage to them.

At one point the crowd broke into a riot.

"Damn it! Why did this thing suddenly produce a magic shield?"

"How come they can use magic!"

"It's over, it's over, we can't escape..."

"Silas, what do we do?"

"..."

Li Lin didn't want to kill these mages. How to deal with them was Jarvan III's business. All he did was to prevent these people from running around and hurting innocent people.

What's more, they had just escaped from prison. Most of them were very weak due to long-term malnutrition, and it was difficult to cast magic. Not to mention that the magic searchers also poured forbidden magic potions into some people with terrible magic talents.

They couldn't afford any big trouble, so Li Lin naturally didn't bother to care about them.

The more the crowd behind him shouted, the more intense the irritability and tension in Silas's heart became.

He resisted the urge to tell them to shut up and stared at Li Lin with shock and fear.

It can't be defeated. It can't be defeated by a machine that's not even one meter tall. So what should Li Lin, who has more powerful energy, do...

Compared with the original world line, Silas was imprisoned for six or seven years less, had no contact with Lux, and was not sentenced to death. Naturally, his resentment towards Demacia was not as strong as before.

Now he no longer thinks about killing the king, but how to save his own life and escape from the capital.

Seeing that quite a few people in Silas were defeated in front of the floating machine, plus everyone was a mage, it was natural to feel the terrifying energy contained in the plasma cannonballs.

These steel gadgets only surrounded them and did not launch a direct attack.

Otherwise, just relying on their dozens of frail mages, no matter how much magic they have to cast spell shields, they cannot stop the indiscriminate bombardment of hundreds of machines around them.

Most of them are not stupid. They know that their own gang is no match for this group of robots, and they already have other thoughts in their hearts.

"What exactly do you want?" Silas said with a stern look, "We are all the same kind of people, why do you want to help the cruel and unscrupulous Light Shield?"

"Who is joining you?" Li Lin yawned and said, "You are a mage and I am a mechanic. Our professions are originally different."

Silas was still young when he was imprisoned in the dungeon, and he didn't learn much. He had never heard of Hex Technology, so naturally he didn't know what a "machinist" was.

The strange guy in front of him was determined not to let him go, and seemed to be stalling for time. Silas was silent for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Li Lin who spoke again.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to mention it." He said in a tone that he suddenly thought of something, "King Jarvan III is determined to abolish the Tome of Forbidden Magic, and His Highness the Prince also supports this move. Maybe it won't take long for you to do so. He will be acquitted and may even receive a large sum of state compensation."

As soon as these words came out, it was like water being poured into hot oil, and the crowd immediately exploded.

When he heard someone starting to discuss the issue of investment, Silas was completely panicked, "Everyone... don't listen to his nonsense! He is a lackey of the Light Shield Royal Family!"

After all, Silas was responsible for the prison break. He killed the guards in the dungeon and freed the other mages.

As soon as everyone got out of the cage, they met Li Lin and his flying steel army, and they didn't have time to do anything too extreme.

In addition, Li Lin promised that they would surrender and speak well in front of the king.

Following Silas's escape from prison, the road goes dark, and he cannot escape his identity as a wanted criminal.

If Demacia really issued a decree pardoning mages and let them be released from prison as free citizens...

At that time, compensation or anything else didn't matter.

"Silas, look...how about we surrender?" an older mage stepped forward and suggested.

"Stupid! Didn't you see that this was his delaying strategy?" Silas turned around and yelled angrily, "When we are captured without mercy, Light Shield will lead his fearless vanguard to kill us all!"

"But if the king really wants to take action, these machines alone are enough to kill us thousands of times..."

Silas was furious, strode forward and grabbed the man who had just spoken, his strong fingers almost crushing his jaw.

"How can we give up without success?! This is the freedom we have finally won..."

"Silas, let the boy go."

A familiar voice came, and Silas turned his head and saw the white-haired middle-aged man who had supported him since he came out of prison and lent him fire magic to blow up the prison wall.

His expression was serious, and his hands had already formed red flames, "You shouldn't do this."

"Why don't you..."

Silas looked around in astonishment and found that many mages who had followed him to escape from prison were staring at him eagerly.

He let go of his hand, "You...you..."

"Sorry, we just wanted to escape and didn't want to conflict with Demacia." An old woman said.

"I, I have two young children at home, I can't die here..." A woman who didn't look too old said in panic.

"Now that the king has the idea of ​​reforming the Forbidden Magic Code and pardoning us, I would rather be conservative than risk death at the cost of it." The white-haired middle-aged man with flames rising from his palms finally said.

"Idiots, are you all crazy?!" Silas's eyes were red and he roared hysterically, "He might be lying to you!"

Do you want him to stay in jail?

no way!

"Maybe." The white-haired middle-aged man sighed, "But even if we fight forcefully, we can't break through the siege of these robots."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at the other strong mage standing behind Silas.

"No...no, we must..."

Silas's heart was completely confused, and he could not calm down his excitement at all.

In this way, he was not aware of the danger and malice coming from around him.

Just as he was speaking, the strong man who had received the hint picked up a thick wooden stick at his feet, aimed it at Silas's neck and hit him hard, knocking him unconscious.

Immediately afterwards, several other people found hemp ropes from nowhere and tied Silas tightly in three strokes.

Li Lin was stunned. What happened suddenly was completely beyond his expectation.

The white-haired middle-aged man withdrew the flame, took the initiative to carry Silas, walked to him and put it down, "This rope cannot tie Silas. He has the talent to absorb magic. We can't let him get close to us."

"What are you doing?" Li Lin asked confused.

The white-haired middle-aged man looked back at the crowd of men, women, old and young, and smiled bitterly when he came back to his senses, "We... just want to live."
