Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

The first to fight the Death Eaters was Peeves.

Due to the EPM bombs dropped by the British Air Force, the protective magic of the secret passage under the Pig's Head Bar was also greatly affected.

A group of Death Eaters walked into the secret passage, cracking the protective magic while walking towards Hogwarts.

When they reached the approximate location of the secret passage, Peeves, who had been notified by other ghosts, had been waiting here for a long time.

In the newly built secret room next to the secret passage, Peeves opened the valves on the jars, and the gas in the jars entered the secret passage through the copper pipes.

After the last sand fell from the hourglass on the wall of the secret room, Peeves closed a knife with force, and then got into the ground without looking back.

There was another group of Death Eaters waiting for him in the secret passage of Honeydukes Candy Shop.

The Death Eaters in the two secret passages were first heated to an unprecedented high temperature for a while, and then completely cooled down.

At the exit of Hogsmeade Railway Station, a group of Death Eaters came to the place where freshmen boarded the ship in previous years.

Rough wooden boats were put into the water by the Death Eaters. These wooden boats would transport the Death Eaters to the lakeside ice and snow garden in Hogwarts on the other side of the lake.

In the ice and snow garden on the side of Hogwarts where the Death Eaters were about to land, Yuri finished the vodka in the bottle in one gulp.

Not long after, a huge tentacle suddenly rose from the water. Before the Death Eaters could react, a wooden boat and the Death Eaters on board were trapped at the bottom of the lake by tentacles.

Immediately afterwards, several tentacles repeated the previous actions at the same time, and the sunken wooden boat quickly turned into wood chips floating on the water, but none of the Death Eaters who sank into the water came up again.

Under the control of Yuri, the squid in the lake kept launching sneak attacks on the wooden boats on the lake. They either rolled the wooden boats into the water or overturned them.

In the end, the Death Eaters on the lake had to group the boats together, and then used various methods to connect the wooden boats into one.

After reaching his goal, Yuri asked the squid to rest under the water first, and then made an offensive gesture to the wizards around him.

Natasha and several wizards from the British Zhèng Fǔ Army were already ready.

The Death Eaters on the water discovered that the wizard's spell on the shore had a much farther range than them. There is no way for my own magic to hit the wizards on the shore, but those wizards can easily use their magic spells to kill themselves when they are gathered in a ball on the water.

Faced with a dilemma, the Death Eaters could only turn around and land in another place.

When several Death Eaters tried to land at the junction of the Forbidden Forest and the Lawn, they were wiped out in a sudden wall of blue fire.

A bald wizard stood on the shore and looked coldly at the Death Eaters on the water.

An elderly Death Eater from France on a small wooden boat not far away burst into tears when he saw the other person's appearance clearly.

"Your Excellency Grindelwald!"

"roll!"

Grindelwald's voice containing infinite murderous intent and rage exploded in the Death Eaters' ears.

The Death Eaters who did not dare to offend the Dark Lord of the previous generation could only find another place to log in again.

Yuri, who saw all this from a distance, couldn't help but touched his bare head and shuddered.

But the Death Eaters on the lake soon no longer have to worry about where to land.

Ron led several Hogwarts students on flying broomsticks and flew over their heads, and at the same time threw a few Destruction Mushrooms that had just been poured with coffee at them.

Before the Death Eaters could recover from the explosion, Hood and others, wearing the one-person water upright walking system provided by Zhang Xu, surrounded them from behind.

The Death Eaters on the lake were strangled by the three forces of water, land and air, and had entered a countdown to annihilation.

At the back entrance of Hogwarts Castle, a large group of Death Eaters from Hogsmeade launched an attack.

It's just that a thick fog suddenly appeared here. No one here would think that the white fog covering the entire passage was formed normally.

August Rookwood, who was in charge of commanding this team of Death Eaters, frowned and looked at the fog that even the strong winds created by magic could not blow away, thinking about ways to break through.

He asked several people to form a path exploration team, and then the team walked cautiously into the fog.

The Death Eaters who explored the path became lost immediately after entering the fog. They walked inside for five minutes, only to walk around in a circle and then come out from where they entered.

At this time, Graham Monty, the former captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team who graduated two years ago, said to August Lukewood: "I have seen such a fog during the Triwizard Tournament that year. , it was set up in the maze to interfere with the warriors' sense of direction, and it could also isolate internal and external sounds to a certain extent. Later, when the maze was opened, we also tried to challenge it, but we didn't have many ways."

Rookwood looked at the young man with well-developed limbs in front of him, and then said: "Do you mean there is a way?"

"That's right." Montague nodded, "This fog can confuse people's sense of direction and can interfere with positioning spells and items, but it cannot affect existing things."

"Then take your people to crack it." Rookwood ordered to Montague.

Among the Death Eaters, there are many young people who have graduated from Hogwarts in recent years, and most of them are from Slytherin House. Because he had served as the college Quidditch captain, Montague also gathered a group of young Death Eaters under his command.

Then Montague divided his people into two groups. Each group of Death Eaters lined up side by side in a horizontal line, and then the two groups formed two lines of troops that were very close to each other and pressed forward.

As long as you can determine your direction through the people on the left and right, it will not be easy to take the wrong path in the fog.

It's just that the white fog gave the patron saints excellent cover. After a group of Hogwarts students cast "God Guard" on the other side of the fog, their patron saints, led by three giant pandas, took the food. The formations of the Dead Apostles collided into pieces.

Rookwood waited on the other side of the fog for more than ten minutes. Just when he started to get impatient, the fog in front suddenly began to fade.

First, curses and shouts came out from the fog, and then the Death Eaters gradually saw a group of black shadows fighting.

In less than a minute, the fog dissipated into a thin layer of smoke. On Rookwood's side, he saw Montaigne and the others struggling in front to resist the attack of the Hogwarts students who had a numerical advantage. A third of them were already lying down at their feet.

So Rookwood immediately ordered an all-out attack, and the Death Eaters behind him immediately rushed towards the back entrance of Hogwarts with him.

Just when they were about to arrive at the fighting position, the thick fog suddenly appeared again, and at the same time, Mengtai and the others also turned around.

"! Cease fire quickly, we are friendly forces!"

"His uncle's troops are friendly forces!"

"Ceasefire, friendly forces!"

"They're friendly forces, silly!"

"You are blind, friendly army!"

For a moment, there were shouts in the fog.

The battle ended after more than ten minutes. Zhang Xu and a group of people walked out of the fog, dragging a unconscious guy with a bruised nose and face in his hand.

"Are all our people here?" Zhang Xu asked Meng Tai, whose left eye circle was swollen.

While applying medicine to his eye circles, Meng Tai pointed around the team, which was one-third smaller than when they first entered the fog, and said: "Basically they are all here, namely Faranir, Onijus and Ma Skino and the other three were sent out in the early hours of the morning, and we have no news about them.”

"They have come back first." Zhang Xu said, "You have worked hard these days."

Snape, Malfoy and his son, Faranir, Onijus, and Maskino were not the only undercover Death Eaters. A complete intelligence organization needs to penetrate into all aspects of the grassroots level in addition to reaching the top.

Before this operation, it was Montai and his team's clever inaction and delay that delayed Voldemort's attack for several days without leaving any trace.

Now that the final battle has begun, they no longer need to remain among the Death Eaters. Therefore, under the manipulation of Faranir and Montague, their group of undercover agents gathered together and formed a team under the pretext of being familiar with the internal situation of Hogwarts.

Just now they "volunteered" to enter the fog for investigation. After working with Zhang Xu and the others to deal with the real Death Eaters in the fog, they acted out a play with Zhang Xu and the others. As a result, Rookwood was fooled.

Zhang Xu kicked the person he dragged back on the ground and asked Meng Tai, "What's going on with this guy?"

"I don't know." Montague shook his head, "If you hadn't found him among the Death Eaters, I would have thought he was in the United States."

Now was not the time to deal with Draco Malfoy on the ground. He asked the two giant panda patron saints to carry the pony to the auditorium and hand it over to Professor McGonagall and the others. He had important things to do next.

"Can you still continue fighting?" Zhang Xu asked Meng Tai and the others.

After receiving a positive reply, Zhang Xu said to the people around him: "Let's go and greet our next batch of guests!"

In the Forbidden Forest, countless animals are flying towards Hogwarts.

It's just that the terrain in the forest is very complicated, and many animals will trip over it accidentally. Before those fallen animals had time to get up, they were devoured by the eight-eyed spiders swarming behind them.

The eight-eyed spiders that had been driven out of the Forbidden Forest for several years did not die out. They rested and recuperated for a period of time outside the sphere of influence of the centaurs tribe, and now their population is slowly increasing again.

Only this time, the eight-eyed spiders were driven out of their habitat by Death Eaters and used as cannon fodder to attack Hogwarts from the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

Behind the spiders were a group of giants striding forward and running werewolves. If these spiders ran a little slower, they would be trampled to pieces by the giants.

The centaurs have all shrunk into their own villages.

Now a circle of fortifications has been built around the centaur village that makes the painting style collapse.

After the centaurs representatives saw the tragic situation of Hogsmeade, under the pressure of survival, they had to temporarily give up their traditions and let humans help them build a defense line surrounding the village.

A wide and deep trench surrounded the entire village. The bottom of the trench was filled with spikes made of diagonally cut steel pipes. Only a curved road that could allow three horsemen to walk side by side led outside. On the outside of the trench and on top of the original wooden walls, there were several layers of barbed wire that were firmly fixed. On the outer layer, the ground was covered with caltrops coated with the centaur's special poison.

Such fortifications are impossible for wizards, but they are insurmountable obstacles for eight-eyed spiders and werewolves. Even giants can block them and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

In addition, a large amount of food has been stored in the village. What the centaurs have to do now is to use the turtle flow to survive this war.

Fortunately, until the end of the war, only a few eight-eyed spiders and werewolves were able to reach the centaurs tribe. The giants that worried the centaurs did not even get close to the village.

Because the British side deployed a steel defense line in the Forbidden Forest.

As early as when the British government began to contact Dumbledore, Bear Grylls and the others obtained permission to enter the Forbidden Forest, and then Bear led people to carry out landform survey and mapping work in the Forbidden Forest.

When Zhang Xu went to the Forbidden Forest with Slughorn and Harry to look for native sheep, he met Bell and the others who were doing this work. //See Chapter 402 for details

Through aerial remote sensing and field surveys, the British side has already mastered the detailed terrain around Hogwarts.

With the support of terrain intelligence, and the fact that the staff agreed with Zhang's judgment that this was the direction of the attack of giants and werewolves, the British finally laid out ambush rings at suitable locations along several possible enemy routes. .

As early as more than a week ago, all three regiments of the Special Air Service Regiment and the Special Boat Regiment, the backbone of the force, had been deployed via helicopter landing.

At the same time, a large number of British engineers took time away from the reconstruction work of Hogsmeade, cleared the boundaries in the Forbidden Forest, and built a simple road network and temporary logistics camps.

After studying the terrain restrictions in the Forbidden Forest and the characteristics of the enemy, the British used Chinook transport helicopters that could carry almost ten tons of cargo to transport a large number of "curved weapons" weighing about eight tons and equipped with 30mm machine guns. "Knife" armored reconnaissance vehicle. In the end, they even learned what the Death Eaters did during the air raid on Hogsmeade, and brought in a platoon of "Samurai" infantry fighting vehicles as an assault force on the simple road network.

According to Sukhbalu, who had secretly visited the defense line, he told Zhang Xu that the layout of this line of defense can resist enemies attacking Hogwarts, and can also turn the muzzle of the gun to serve as an advance base for attacking Hogwarts.

Brock Rumlow looked at the white figure appearing in his scope and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is the legendary unicorn."

"It's so beautiful." Grant Ward's attention was also focused on the unicorns in the herd. "It would be great if I could have one in the backyard."

"Calm down, don't shoot." Alexander Pierce, the captain of this team, conveyed the order from his superiors to several of them, "Put these over first, our opponents are behind them."

Not long after, John Garriott's somewhat panicked voice came from everyone's headphones: "! What the hell is that! What did they eat to grow up?!"

"Wow, that's awesome!" Rumlow shouted exaggeratedly, "Does any of you have any pesticides?"

Pierce was nervously holding the detonator in his hand, waiting for the countdown in the earphones to end.

When the forward of the Eight-Eyed Spiders rushed to a place not far away from them, countless explosions sounded at the same time. After a nearly 100-meter-wide "Broad Sword" directional mine field was detonated, a tunnel was created among the Eight-Eyed Spiders. A death zone one hundred meters long and twenty meters wide.

After the explosion, some of the surviving eight-eyed spiders fled in all directions, while others continued to rush forward on the remains of similar species.

Then there were loud sounds of gunfire in the Forbidden Forest. Although the huge eight-eyed spiders were scary, shooting them with a gun was a different feeling.

The 5.56mm warhead penetrated the shell of the spider, and then the unstable warhead rolled continuously in the soft muscles and internal organs, leaving permanent flesh and blood tunnels in the spider's body.

The worst thing was the spiders that were targeted by M2 Laoganma. The 12.7mm warhead directly caused clouds of blood mist to explode from their bodies. At such a close range, it is not uncommon for a single round of bullets to kill two spiders that are very close to each other at the same time.

"I think we are playing a game." John Garriott, who was startled by the spiders just now, shouted while changing the magazine. "I think I can kill a hundred of them by myself."

"Then I'll help you raise one under your bed." Bell, who had been silent all this time, said, "Pay attention to those big guys behind them. I think you don't want to be hit by them with a big tree a second time."

Garriott couldn't help but shrink his neck. That night he was almost hit by a big tree thrown by the giant, which caused him to have nightmares for several nights after he came back.

"Thank you." Garriott said, "I think it would be best to raise them in Ward's backyard. I think it would be best to raise a pair there. I have already thought of their names, named Fitz and Simmons. "

"I'm going to kick you off the plane next time you fly with Fitz and Simmons," Ward replied.

The Eight-Eyed Spiders did not have very good countermeasures against the long-range units with powerful attack power. Back then, they had no way to deal with Zhang Xu, who was throwing fireballs everywhere. After losing their numerical advantage, they were driven away by the centaurs' bows and arrows. Now they were even more vulnerable to fire, so that the soldiers still had time to laugh.

"Those big guys are coming, be careful!" Pierce did not participate in the bickering among the team members. He had been carefully observing the situation on the battlefield.

A giant emerged from the woods, holding a large tree in his hand to use as a club.

"Dong dong dong..."

Two "Samurai" infantry fighting vehicles drove from a short distance through a simple road in the forest, and at the same time used the 30mm machine cannon on the vehicles to shoot at the giants.

No giant could withstand the two three-volume bursts of two machine cannons with their flesh and blood, and each giant fell under the chariot.

The biggest problem causing trouble for the infantry fighting vehicles now is the huge trees that were not cleared in a short time in front of the defense line. They obstruct the sight and boundary of the infantry fighting vehicles. Therefore, these infantry fighting vehicles can only constantly maneuver on simple roads, looking for windows of fire.

The simple roads in the Forbidden Forest are not limited to the one behind the defense line. In the area a few kilometers in front of the defense line, the British Army's engineers have built a road network consisting of several simple roads intertwining horizontally and vertically.

After determining the enemy's attack direction, the defending infantry from other places rode lightweight "Scutter" armored reconnaissance vehicles and quickly outflanked the opponent's flanks through the road network.

Unlike the giants who are single-minded, the werewolves behind them have better brains.

They did not follow the giant and rush towards the defense line like a flesh and blood mill. Instead, they began to move to both sides, trying to bypass it from the side.

But they soon encountered the British soldiers who were outflanking them, and they were hit by a heavy rain of bullets.

Not only werewolves are agile and powerful, but they can also use terrain and obstacles to launch attacks. But they can only become moths in front of the fire.

By this time, the giants and werewolves were starting to get scared, and retreat was their only option.

At this moment, four fighter planes flew over the Forbidden Forest, and the napalm bombs they dropped created a wall of fire that blocked the retreat of the giants and werewolves.

At this point, the overall situation of the battle in the Forbidden Forest has been decided. Some of the werewolves and eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest who did not follow the large army were unable to survive. In the end, they all fell in front of the centaurs tribe's defenses.

From then on, only Hagrid's younger brother was the only purebred giant in Europe, and the eight-eyed spider disappeared in Britain.

The most brutal place of battle today is still the main entrance of Hogwarts.

When the battles in the other three directions had made significant progress, the gate of Hogwarts and the wall next to it had disappeared. The ground was scattered with broken ruins of the original wall, and the remains of various mushrooms and peas. , as well as human corpses and pools of blackened blood.

At this time, the students and Aurors of Hogwarts had retreated to the second line of defense.

None of the tall nuts here are intact, and most of the tall nuts are only half left. The peas were not much better, nearly 80% of the peas had fallen to the ground. The watermelons and corns fared better because they were placed behind the tall nuts, and they did not suffer much damage.

Perhaps due to the news that the other three attack directions had failed, the Death Eaters were withdrawing from Hogwarts in batches.

In the Shrieking Shack, a map of the surrounding area of ​​Hogwarts is placed on a table. Voldemort was sitting behind the table, and a group of Death Eaters stood across from it.

Yaxley was reporting to Voldemort about today's attack on Hogwarts: "The enemy held the defense line."

"On the lake, our men were unable to penetrate the water defenses."

"The back entrance to Hogwarts, Rookwood, blocked by fog and guards there."

"There was a huge explosion from the direction of the Forbidden Forest, but there was no news from the giants and werewolves."

"The battle at the main gate was going very hard and everyone was very tired."

Voldemort, who was sitting on the chair, raised the Elder Wand and waved it in a circle, and said at the same time: "Everything will get better as soon as Faranir and the others are close to launching an attack in the castle."

Yaxley hesitated for a moment, then said: "Master... Faranir and the others..." He couldn't continue and could only glance at Selwyn who was standing aside.

Selwyn also said hesitantly: "There is no sign of Faranir launching an attack in the castle, and we can no longer contact them."

Voldemort was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then placed the Elder Wand on the table with a slightly trembling hand. He said in a suppressed calm tone: "The following persons remain in the room. Yaxley, Selwyn, Rolle, Gargson, Gower, Crabbe."

After the others exited the room, the six people made eye contact with each other, but did not dare to go too far.

Voldemort looked at these six people and couldn't help but feel angry. After he regained his body back then, his core team was filled with talented people. But now, the only ones left are the six people in front of them who cannot be reused and have been trying to make up the numbers.

"That's an order!" Voldemort suddenly stood up and roared, "It was my personal order to let Faranir launch an attack in the castle!"

"Who does he think they are to risk disobeying my orders?"

"Have things come to this?"

"They lied to me! Everyone lied to me, even Snape, who has been following me for years!"

"All of us are just a bunch of shameless and disloyal cowards!"

"I have been betrayed and deceived from the beginning! But all traitors will pay! They will pay with their own blood! They will drown in their own blood!"

The Elder Wand was taken back by Voldemort at some point. When he roared in excitement, he slammed the Elder Wand onto the table.

Just as the Death Eaters were trembling in fear, a loud voice came from Hogwarts, shaking the windows of the Shrieking Shack so that dust fell down.

"Tom Riddle, do you dare to fight to the death with me, Harry Potter!"
