Listening to the old man's threatening words, Benjamin's heart did not waver. Instead, he suddenly turned his attention to the mages behind the old man.
If you think about it carefully, the fact that the other party would do something like burning a book shows that the "Declaration of Free Magic" has caused a certain response in Border Desert City. The monopoly of "Desert Shadow" was threatened, so the old man rushed to burn all the books.
So...the other members of these "Desert Shadows", have they been affected
"Hey, whether it's spells or meditation rules, they are all in the "Declaration of Free Magic". Why do you still listen to this old guy's order and burn these books?" Benjamin shouted to the mages behind the old man.
That's right, he not only wanted to poach the enemy, but also poached the enemy in person.
However, the feedback from the mage on the opposite side was not as good as he imagined.
"Save your saliva! The leader has always been very kind to us, and we will never betray the Desert Shadow." A mage immediately shouted.
Benjamin was a little disappointed.
It seems that these mages have become accustomed to this way of life by dominating the entire Border Desert City and being able to dominate everywhere. They have long been part of this monopoly organization, and as long as the boss does not fall, they will definitely not rebel.
In the "Declaration of Free Magic", neither magical knowledge nor the spirit of resistance are attractive to them anymore.
"Did you hear that? No one will accept what you said. You'd better leave quickly, otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen next." The old man also sneered and looked at Benjamin with disdain, but there was something in his eyes. A deep hostility can be felt.
Obviously, if he hadn't been worried that Benjamin was followed by many people at the moment, he would have taken action long ago.
However, at this moment, several more mages suddenly flew up in Bianmo City. There were not many of them, only five or six of them. They flew out of those remote houses and soon reached the sky above the city center.
When Benjamin saw this, he couldn't help but frown.
Are these also the people of "Shadow of the Desert"
However, looking at the other side, the attitude of those mages didn't seem to be much better.
"Why are you still here?" The old man asked fiercely, glaring at the mages who suddenly appeared.
After being stared at like this, the mages showed some fear. However, they glanced at Benjamin again, suddenly emboldened themselves, and retorted: "We are originally from Bianmo City, why can't we stay here?"
"you… "
While watching this scene, Benjamin also realized the identities of these people.
Is he a local mage from Border Desert City
The desert mages also introduced him to the "Desert Shadow"'s style of conduct, which was almost lawless and even the city hall was occupied by them. And the local mages who were unwilling to join them were naturally bullied miserably.
Most people can't stand this kind of anger and leave Bianmo City to find another way out, but there are always some people who have to stay here for some reasons and have to swallow their anger. They rarely even show up on weekdays, and they are different from ordinary people who don't know magic. People are no different.
At this moment, Benjamin realized that these free local mages were the ones he should win over.
"Are you... really the mage who wrote the "Declaration of Free Magic"?" At this time, the group of local mages also flew towards Benjamin and asked weakly.
Benjamin nodded.
Suddenly, several mages showed expressions of relief.
"Magic is free. It should be a powerful weapon against oppression, rather than a stain used by mages to be attacked." A mage said, "My lord, although they took away all our books , but I still remember the above sentence.”
Hearing this, Benjamin was a little surprised.
He wrote this pamphlet just to arouse the fighting spirit of mages to resist the church. Unexpectedly, it also inspired these low-level mages who were oppressed internally.
Thinking like this, his eyes returned to the mage of "Desert Shadow" again.
"Awesome, have you found a backer?" The old man stared at the local mages and said, "Okay, follow them quickly and do whatever you want. But in Bianmo City, don't even think about it. "
"Bianmo City is not a place that belongs to you, but belongs to everyone." Benjamin said unceremoniously, "It's just because no one pays attention to this place that you can continue to occupy it. Do you really think you are so powerful? "
"Today, you are the only ones who will get out of here."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and dense ice spikes suddenly appeared in the sky.
When the mage of "Desert Shadow" saw this, he couldn't help but show a look of astonishment on his face.
It was a very surprising thing for them that Benjamin could use magic without chanting a spell or emitting any magic wave. Even the mage behind Benjamin was startled, let alone them.
The old man's eyes gradually became serious when he looked at Benjamin. However, probably because of his dignity as a local snake in Border Desert City, he did not show any signs of retreating.
"A little trick to scare people..." He shook his head and gave orders like a bandit fighting in a group, "Go! Give them a lesson!"
Following his words, more than forty mages over there also chanted spells in unison at this moment.
Feeling the huge elemental fluctuation, Benjamin felt a little more cautious. Although there are many people on his side, they have just joined, so they have no cooperation and don’t know what their level is.
You still have to rely on yourself...
So, while the other side was still chanting, he took action without hesitation!
In the sky, the number of ice spikes increased to nearly a thousand, like a sudden falling meteor shower, directly hitting the mages of "Desert Shadow"!
However, the opponent's chant was also very fast. At this time, half of the people had finished chanting. More than twenty layers of elemental shields were opened one after another, blocking their way. In the blink of an eye, the ice spikes collided with each other, and a firework-like splash of ice mist erupted in mid-air.
Benjamin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
At this time, he tried to challenge multiple mages for the first time. Although he was confident in his own strength, it was still hard to say.
Can he do it
In the blink of an eye, the ice fog dissipated. Benjamin could also see that his attack of nearly a thousand ice spikes did not hurt his opponent at all. The shields held up by more than twenty people blocked all his attacks. At this moment, there were even a few that had not been broken, firmly protecting them in front of them.
A little tricky.
He also realized that it is really difficult to rely on personal strength to crush a group.
Maybe... people at a higher level can do it, but for him now, more than forty mediocre mages can become a hard nut to crack, and maybe even overturn, not to mention those who In imagination, it was a feat of one against a hundred.
All I can say is that fortunately, he is not the only one on their side.
While Benjamin was taking action, neither the desert mage nor the local mage was idle. They didn't like people like "Desert Shadow" to begin with, and they had long wanted to have a fight. Now that Benjamin has brought them together and has the ability to fight, they will naturally no longer swallow their anger.
Along with the low voice of the mantra, more than ten layers of shields first appeared to protect them. Immediately afterwards, a series of fireballs, ice arrows and other things were also summoned, and they hit the opponent aggressively!
"Hiss..."
Benjamin frowned when he saw this.
This group of mages seems... not very cooperative.
Their magics are all crowded together, even fireballs and ice arrows are like this, which weakens each other's power and cannot be used 100%.
Dozens of people are fine. After some practice, they can cooperate as well as Joanna and the others, but... what if there are hundreds of mages? Thinking further, what if there are thousands of people
At this moment, Benjamin suddenly realized that group fighting between mages was really a knowledge that he must study in the future.
