Silas sensed the danger and instinctively rolled to the side to avoid it.
At the same time, a miniature plasma energy shell exploded, and the strong impact caused Silas, who had just stood up in a panic, to stagger.
Fortunately, two young men ran out in time to help him up, so he didn't fall to the ground again.
"Are you okay?" a mage asked with concern.
Silas waved his hand with remorse, and suddenly found that his right hand felt much lighter. It turned out that two-thirds of the rune steel chain connecting it had melted off.
If I choose to absorb the energy just now, I will definitely be shattered to pieces...
No, it should be said that not even a residue will be left!
His expression was filled with horror as he suddenly turned his head to look at the hundreds of Storm Robots floating in the air, densely packed and neatly arranged, with their guns pointed at him. A trace of cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.
Silas snorted deliberately to give himself courage, and blue arcs of electricity danced on his palms. This was a high-level lightning element magic that ordinary mages could not master at all.
There happened to be a dangerous wizard in the crowd who knew this kind of magic, so he borrowed it to use.
The dancing electric arcs made crackling sounds, startling the two mages who were helping Silas and causing them to step back.
Silas stared at Li Lin with a serious expression.
The fire attack just now had no effect on him at all, and the lightning now probably won't have much effect either.
Therefore, he continued to lock onto the storm floating around him, "Ah!"
With a loud shout, Silas put his wrists together and sent out a sharp, scorching lightning that shot diagonally upwards.
Not only him, there were also many mages in the alert crowd who tried to attack the storm with various types of elemental magic, even arcane magic.
Unfortunately, when a translucent blue energy barrier emerged around the storm, all the magic attacks hit them but did not cause any damage to them.
The crowd once again fell into chaos.
"Damn it! How did this thing suddenly develop a magic shield?"
"How come they can use magic?"
"It's over, it's all over, we can't escape..."
"Silas, what should we do?"
“…”
Li Lin had no intention of killing 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, and most of them were very weak due to long-term malnutrition, and it was difficult for them to cast magic, not to mention that the demon hunters had given forbidden magic potions to some people with terrifying magical talents.
They couldn't cause any big trouble at all, so Li Lin naturally didn't bother to care about them.
The more the crowd behind him shouted, the more irritated and nervous Silas became.
He resisted the urge to tell them to shut up and stared at Li Lin with shock and fear.
He couldn't defeat a machine that was less than a meter long. Then what would Li Lin, who possessed even more powerful energy, do...
Compared to the original world line, Sylas was imprisoned for six or seven years less, did not come into contact with Lux, and was not sentenced to death. Naturally, his resentment towards Demacia was not as strong as before.
Now he no longer considered killing the king, but how to save his own life and escape from the capital.
Seeing that Silas and quite a few others were defeated by the floating machine, and since they were all mages, they could naturally feel the terrifying energy contained in the plasma shells.
These steel things only surrounded them and did not launch a direct attack.
Otherwise, with just a few dozen weak mages, no matter how much magic power they had to cast spell shields, they would not be able to withstand the bombardment of hundreds of machines around them.
Most of them were not stupid. They knew that this mob of them was no match for this group of robots, and other thoughts had already arisen in their minds.
"What do you want?" Silas said in a deep voice, his eyes stern. "We are all the same. Why do you want to serve the cruel and unjust Light Shield?"
"Who's with you?" Li Lin yawned and said, "You're a mage, and I'm a mechanic. Our professions are different."
Silas was still young when he was imprisoned in the dungeon. He didn't learn much and had never heard of Hextech, so naturally he didn't know what a "mechanic" was.
Seeing that 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. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Li Lin who spoke again.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot to mention this," he said, as if suddenly realizing something. "King Jarvan III is determined to abolish the Forbidden Magic Codex, and His Royal Highness the Prince also supports this move. Perhaps it won't be long before you're acquitted, and you might even receive a substantial amount of state compensation."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like pouring water into hot oil, and the crowd suddenly exploded.
Hearing someone start discussing where to go, Silas panicked. "Everyone... don't listen to his nonsense! He's a lackey of the Lightshield royal family!"
After all, it was Silas who was instigating the jailbreak, killing the guards in the dungeon and freeing the other mages.
As soon as they got out of the cage, they ran into Li Lin and his flying steel army. They didn't have time to do anything extreme.
In addition, Li Lin promised that if they surrendered, he would speak well of them in front of the king.
Following Silas's escape from prison, he went all the way to the end, but ultimately he could not escape the identity of a wanted criminal.
If Demacia really issued a decree to pardon the mages, allowing them to be released from prison as free citizens...
At that time, compensation and other things were not important.
