Chapter 218 How can people like you change?

Three days later, near the Zaun coastal area.
At this time, there are only three days left until the deadline given by the Leaders Association.
After three days of intense preparation, the Zaun Alchemy Barons are ready for a decisive battle with the Leader.
Their plan was simple.
This war was led throughout by the Amistan Regiment representing the Noxian Empire. There was no doubt that all they needed to do was play a supporting role.
Camille didn't expect these Alchemy Barons to play a crucial role. After all, her own strength could not keep up with the "game version update" of the Twin Cities, and she had long been unable to be the C.
She only hoped that the Alchemy Barons would be able to take advantage of their local advantages after the war broke out, and pose a certain threat and interference to the Wind Leader Association from Zaun and from behind the Wind Leader base.
As for Zaun's alchemy barons, any one of them alone cannot pose any threat to the current leader.
In order to play a minimum restraining role, they must unite.
Therefore, under the leadership and arrangement of Hilco, a simple and clear battle plan was quickly drawn up:
Gather the troops together, unite and protect each other; conserve your energy and wait for the opportunity.
They would first organize an "Eighteen-Road Alliance" to gather all the remaining forces of the Zaun Alchemist Barons. Then, once the war started, they would cooperate with Piltover to seize the opportunity and launch a harassing attack on the base of the Wind Leader.
"Hilco, isn't this making too much noise?"
At the "Alliance" site, Finn looked out at the looming coastline in the distance and the vague outline of the harbor.
He knew that if they went a little further, they would enter the coastal area controlled by the Wind Leader.
With so many of them hiding near the enemy base, wouldn't the Leader find them?
Finn couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Silco, is this plan you made reliable?" He fiddled with the lighter in his hand anxiously, complaining unceremoniously: "So many people gathered together, and so close to Levi's territory."
"Why do I feel like we are about to be wiped out?"
"..." Hilco didn't say anything, but just glanced at him coldly.
So Finn unconsciously stopped playing with the lighter.
The other vigilant alchemy barons around also looked over quietly.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Hilco said, "Idiots! Don't you know how Zaun has been infiltrated by the Leaders?"
"Do you think that if we don't gather our forces in a high-profile manner and sneak to the other side of the city, the leader won't know what we are doing?"
"Ridiculous." Xierko looked around with disdain: "Who among you dares to guarantee that there is no undercover agent of the leader in your family?"
These words left all the alchemist barons present speechless.
Indeed. Since the birth of the Leader, their intelligence work on the Leader has always been one-way and transparent.
The spies they sent out would always defect within a short period of time, but the leader only needed to send a few propagandists to "brainwash" their subordinates, even their trusted cadres, into being the leader's loyal undercover agents.
Therefore, in front of the Leader, the Alchemy Barons are almost always running naked.
Since you are already "naked", what else is there to hide? Is hiding useful?
"The leader probably already knows what we want to do."
"Rather than hiding like a rat in a den that has been dug open, fearing the enemy's coming, it would be better to gather our forces and deploy our troops openly and put strategic pressure on the Leaders Association from the rear."
"We don't need to take any action. Just being here can tie down most of the Leader's forces."
"And that's exactly what Piltover needs us to do."
Hilco's well-reasoned analysis made the alchemy barons unconsciously put aside their concerns.
But some smart people are still worried: "Our presence here can indeed contain the Wind Leader, but Hilco, what if the Wind Leader attacks us before the war with Piltover?"
"With so many of us standing here, we're just sitting ducks!"
Now these Alchemy Barons were the closest to the Leader. If the Leader attacked them first, they would not be a small group of troops tied down behind the enemy lines, but the first unlucky ones to be surrounded and annihilated by the Leader.
This problem is very fatal.
But in the face of doubts, Hilco remained calm.
He didn't even give an explanation this time, but just replied in an unfathomable way: "Don't worry, I have my own way."
"..." Some people were still worried, but most of the alchemy barons chose to believe.
Because Hilco is so reliable, this concept has quietly gained popularity over the past decade.
Everyone believed that Hilco was really prepared.
There were even some alchemy barons who trusted his wisdom too much and started to think for him themselves.
They believed that Hilco must have privately informed Camille and Amystan, and as long as the Leader launched an attack on them in advance, Piltover and Noxus would send troops to support them at the first time.
Perhaps they are just a bait, and what they need to do is to lure the enemy to surround them and hold their ground until help comes.
As soon as the Noxian reinforcements arrive, they can cooperate with friendly forces to "bloom from the center" and attack from both inside and outside.
However, this trick requires the alchemy barons to take some risks by using themselves as bait, so Hilco was worried that no one would agree, so he concealed it in this mysterious manner.
"Great..." As they thought about it, everyone felt that Hilco was a master in commanding troops.
Hilco didn't say much, just waited quietly.
After a long time, Finn, Voss, Wolvertin, Patrok, Winchester Spendlaw... all the famous alchemy barons in Zaun finally arrived with their troops and joined together.
Because they know that the threat posed by the miscellaneous soldiers to the current leader is limited, and the grassroots thugs have been deeply infiltrated by the leader, they may not help anyone even if they are called over.
This time, all the alchemy barons brought only a small number of trusted elite warriors, the most capable and trustworthy elite fighters in their respective gangs.
In other words…
"The most brutal and reactionary alchemist baron and his loyal followers in all of Zaun are now here." Hillco sighed deeply.
This group of people packed up and gathered together, which made it much easier to catch them.
By accurately targeting and taking targeted actions, the various out-of-control chaos caused by the previous large-scale liquidation of the Takeda Group can be avoided.
If this battle is successful, the Leader will be able to take over the entire Zaun at the lowest cost.
As he spoke, Hilco summoned a blue bird incarnation in front of all the alchemy barons without hesitation:
"Let's get started. It's time to close the net."
“???!” The smiles of the alchemy barons froze in an instant.
Finn looked at his former boss in disbelief: "Hilco, you, you..."
He thought he was dazzled and hard of hearing.
But the next second, Hilco, Sevika, and the group of so-called trusted cadres he brought with him all flew high into the sky on the sudden breeze.
In fact, it wasn't just Hilco's group that flew away.
Even the "cadres" of the Renata gang suddenly transformed themselves and flew into the sky while they had no time to react.
"Silco, Renata..."
“You, you guys?!”
Seeing Hilco and the others escaping into the sky in the blink of an eye, Finn and the other alchemy barons who were left on the ground waiting to die, finally reacted angrily: "You are all traitors?!"
"I'm not a traitor, you are." Hilco looked back at the ground: "You betrayed Zaun."
"You..." The alchemy barons were all horrified.
Although they had not seen any trace of the enemy, they all understood at this moment that they were already dead from the moment they were lured here by Hilco.
"Wait!" Finn was the first to react: "Hilco, I surrender! I am willing to surrender!"
"I can also be a leader, and I can also love Zaan!" Just like Takeda Saito in the past, he also mastered a flexible stance.
but……
"It's too late." Hilco said coldly.
You have to invest in Janna as early as possible, the earlier you invest, the higher the value of the united front.
People like him who joined early and made contributions to the organization can once again become members of a regular association.
If you surrender too late, you will not be able to escape labor reform and ideological education. But at least you can save your life.
And now...
"It's too late."
"I gave you a chance last time, but you didn't cherish it at all."
"Only when a gun is pointed at your head will you remember that you are a Zaun, and that you once fought for Zaun—"
Hilco took one last look at his friend who had fought side by side with him:
"How can people like you change? You won't change, so..."
"Goodbye, everyone."
After a while, Hilco flew away with his men.
Only a group of desperate alchemist barons were left on the ground, cursing: "Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!"
They still couldn't figure out why Hilco would betray them.
It is obvious that Hilco is the greatest alchemy baron in Zaun, and the one with the greatest conflict of interest with the Leader... Could it be that for the ideal of Zaun's independence, he is willing to give up even this huge family business?
The alchemist barons would never be able to understand such an idealist.
At this moment, they had no time to think about whether Hilco was brainwashed by magic or had become mentally ill like his crazy daughter.
They only had time to think of one thing: "Run! Run!"
But can they escape?
Of course not.
At the moment when Hilco and his men fled the scene, two figures flew quietly in the air.
That was Levi and Seraphine. They flew side by side at an unhurried pace, their movements as relaxed and comfortable as if they were on a date or vacation.
But their next move was not so friendly:
"Sound Storm!"
Levi held Seraphine's hand, communicated with her mind and merged her soul, and used a "combination killing move".
Seraphine's voice is filled with soul-stirring magic. She sings high in the sky, letting her siren-like voice spread across the battlefield.
Levi used his mind to control the airflow, creating a large-scale vortex storm on the ground.
As a result, the Alchemist Barons and their loyal subordinates were shocked by the soul song and became dazed and confused before they could escape.
After finally waking up a little, his body was uncontrollably caught in a high-speed airflow and was pulled towards the center of the "vortex" by the storm.
Faced with this dual control on the mental and physical levels, the alchemy barons were so panicked that they were unable to resist at all.
Not only did they fail to escape, but they were pulled back to the center of the open space by the swirling storm, where they were packed together like sardines in a can.
What made people even more desperate was that when the alchemist barons were blown back to the center of the open space in a panic and tried to escape again...
They were shocked to find that the wind direction had changed.
The airflow that originally dragged them toward the center like a whirlpool suddenly turned into a tornado that rotated around them at high speed.
They just tried to put their hands into the wall-like strong wind, and were swept up into the sky by the high-speed airflow, spinning rapidly in the sky for several large circles before being ruthlessly thrown back to the ground like rag dolls.
This tornado doesn't feel like wind at all, but rather an invisible prison.
They were trapped in the cage of this storm, with no way up to heaven or door down to earth.
"Seraphini." Levi tried his best to maintain the wind cage, and gave Seraphine beside him a look: "Let's start."
"Yeah." Seraphine nodded in understanding.
Levi has already maxed out the control, and now it's her turn to output.
Does Seraphine have damage output? Yes, but not much. Her abilities have always been more supportive.
But now…
"Hex Floater!"
It’s a long story.
After Seraphine mastered Janna's wind magic, she could fly by herself.
Since she can fly, Seraphine certainly prefers to soar in the wind by herself, and she doesn’t need to step on that flying stage every day when going out.
But her flying stage is not only a flying vehicle, it is also her mobile speaker and a "power amplifier" that can amplify her magical abilities - this is her must-have magical equipment that she must carry with her when she goes out.
And this stage is carried around but not stepped on, just floating next to Seraphine, which looks a bit strange.
Therefore, under the guidance of Levi's tough guy aesthetics...
He simply asked Victor to help transform the flying stage into a "Hex Floating Laser Cannon" with integrated sound function.
That is to say, the shape of Seraphine's flying stage was changed, and Viktor's "death ray" was installed on it.
Moreover, it is equipped with a "giant cannon" with an enhanced caliber.
Because Seraphine herself is a mage, and after half a year of practice under the guidance of the goddess, she can be considered to have profound magical powers.
So compared to Victor, who is still a mortal and completely dependent on Hextech equipment, she can even provide extra magic power to the Hextech equipment to increase its output power.
The power was so great that Victor couldn't help but laugh when he was testing it before.
then……
The Alchemist Baron and his lackeys were still trying to attack the Wind Prison set up by Levi, when they discovered in despair:
Above their heads, in the eye of the tornado, and directly above them, a giant Hextech cannon that glowed with dark blue magic energy and had a "harmless" appearance slowly unfolded amid the whistling wind.
"Fuck! F*ck..." Finn and the others started cursing in Zaun dialect with pale faces.
"Collect!" Levi tightened the wind cage and used the high-speed tornado to squeeze the enemy tighter.
Seraphine, like always, poured her maximum magic power into the giant floating cannon: "Death ray!"
Zi——
A beam of light fell from the sky, like a beam of light from a magnifying glass sweeping across an ant nest.
The alchemist barons and their lackeys who were trapped in the center of the storm were all burned and melted in the terrifying light and heat.
“Ahhh—”
The laser sweeps back and forth in the eye of the storm.
Waves of screams rang out, but quickly disappeared.
All that was left was the gradually dying down of the strong wind and the subtle sound of flesh carbonizing and cracking.
The Alchemist Baron who had ruled Zaun for more than 200 years, the king whom countless Zaun people worshipped, was wiped out by the light from the sky without any resistance.
Levi watched them become history.
He announced loudly: "From today on -"
"There will be no more Chem-Barons in Zaun!"
