Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

“Understood, Sir.” Seeing that everyone had made up their minds under Anduin's persuasion, Hogg resumed his explanation.

“Before explaining the tactics, I think it's necessary for everyone to understand the daily schedule and defenses within the breeding base.”

“Taking Zone One as an example, their day starts at 7:00 AM, with 7-8 AM being breakfast time, until 12:00 PM for lunch. They take a one-hour break in between, and then resume work at 1:00 PM, working until 6:00 PM for dinner.”

“After that, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, unless there are special circumstances, it's free time for the personnel. The zone is also equipped with many entertainment facilities for them.”

“And after 9:00 PM, a curfew is enforced, and all personnel will return to their dormitories. According to our reconnaissance, they basically turn off the lights and rest before 10:00 PM, and our raid will basically take place after this time.” Hogg said, flipping through the report in his hand.

“I see, launching an attack while they are resting can indeed reduce a lot of resistance.” Andre nodded in admiration upon hearing this. Then he realized that the time seemed to have already passed 10:00 PM, so weren't they launching the attack today?

But before Andre could ask, Hogg continued, “However, in the breeding zone, some people have a special schedule, namely the 36 patrol team members and the 5 medical wizards on night duty.”

“The five night-shift wizards are easy to deal with. They basically stay in the large sheds within the zone, responsible for taking care of sick magical creatures, and generally do not go outdoors.”

“As for these patrol teams, they are divided into two shifts every day. One shift of 16 people is responsible for patrolling from 9:00 PM to 9:00 AM, with 6 people on the outer perimeter, each equipped with a hunting dog acting alone, and 10 people inside, divided into five groups, patrolling the zone.”

“And from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM during the day, there is another shift of 20 people, with 10 people outside the zone and 10 people inside, with basically the same configuration as the night shift.”

“It is worth noting that the working hours of these patrol personnel are continuous, and even meals are settled on the spot. The outer patrol personnel are also equipped with tactical vests, and the area within a 12-kilometer radius outside the zone is covered by their warning measures, consisting of a mixed mode of warning charms, alarm charms, trace charms, and patrol personnel.”

“Moreover, on the outer perimeter, these breeding bases are also equipped with magical barriers with extremely strong protection capabilities. It is impossible to break through them with ordinary means in a short time. Even if you use violence to destroy them, it will definitely alarm the people inside.”

At this time, after hearing Hogg's report, everyone around felt a chill in their hearts. With such tight defense, if they had rushed straight in at the beginning, they might really have suffered.

“Since you know these protective measures so well, you must have made complete preparations.” Andre realized that Anduin was unusually meticulous in his actions.

“That's right.” Anduin nodded slightly upon hearing this, “I have prepared equipment that can hide from these devices, but for Zone One, we will break through directly from the inside.”

“Break through from the inside? Have you found a way to enter the interior without alarming those people?” Andre was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

“Yes, this is thanks to the fact that when I first discovered this zone, I managed to send a subordinate to infiltrate it. It is because of her that we have been able to collect so much internal information. At the same time, I also discovered a passage that leads directly from the outside to the inside.”

Anduin also told the story of Xia Tiya at this time. It must be said that she played a vital role in this operation against the breeding zone.

So that's how it is. Everyone, including Andre, suddenly realized at this time. They had been wondering before, how Anduin knew so much, and even knew the internal structure so clearly.

“And because of this, I have been able to successfully crack the magical shield that surrounds the zone, but just in case, we still have to break through Zone One directly from the inside.”

Speaking of this, Anduin directly took over Hogg's hosting work, “For this operation, we will directly enter the core hub in the center of the zone, and the time is set at around 9:00 PM. After my inside contact confirms that all the residential areas have turned off the lights, we will start.”

“The first thing to solve is the 10 internal patrol personnel, followed by the capture of the employees' dormitories and Clement and others.”

Speaking of this, Anduin looked around at everyone again, “Currently, there are a total of 46 people present, including Hogg and I. Hogg, Hagrid, and Professor Kettleburn are too conspicuous and will not participate in the capture operation.”

“As for the remaining 43 people, I plan to divide you into 22 groups of two people each.”

“When the operation begins, the 7 groups with stronger combat capabilities will be dispatched first, using the Disillusionment Charm to sneak in, and then quickly take down the five patrol teams and the five night-shift medical wizards, and then return to the residential area to assemble, launching an attack on the 22 employees' dormitories at the same time.”

After hearing Anduin's plan, Andre couldn't help but raise doubts, “I have no objection to prioritizing the wizards patrolling outside, but is it a bit risky to use a simultaneous attack on the residential area instead of a gradual annihilation? You know, more than two hundred people stay in 22 dormitories, which proves that each dormitory has at least 8-10 people. Even if they are asleep, is it really appropriate for two wizards to face them alone?”

Hearing Andre's question, the surrounding Aurors nodded one after another. They asked themselves that their strength was not weak, but they couldn't be ruthless when facing these ordinary wizards. In this way, they would inevitably be a little restrained. Although they were confident that they could take these people down, if something went wrong and these wizards sent a message to the outside, it would be troublesome.

“Your consideration is indeed very thoughtful, but I have actually prepared for this.” After saying that, Anduin got up and walked to the side of the conference room.

At the same time, he said while walking, “What I said, letting two wizards deal with one dormitory, does not mean using brute force to carry out a reckless attack, but equipping them with corresponding tactics.”

“Including silent door breaching, standardized movement routes, rapid mobility, control, and emergency plans, etc. I have also prepared corresponding supporting equipment for everyone. These tactical movements have been simplified, very simple, as long as everyone is familiar with them, they can master them.”

“Ah?” Everyone around found that they could understand every word Anduin said, but they couldn't understand what it meant when they were put together.

“We don't know… those tactical movements you said, and what is the equipment you are referring to?” Andre was completely confused like everyone else and couldn't help but ask.

“Don't worry, I have prepared everything for everyone. What I mean… is this!” As soon as Anduin finished speaking, he waved his hand gently, and then the wall on one side of the conference room began to deform and expand to both sides.

Then the people in the conference room saw a three-story building standing on the open space not far from the opening. Those more careful Aurors found that this building was exactly the same as the wizard dormitory they saw on the sand table.

“This… is this?” Andre looked at Anduin in disbelief.

“That's right.” Anduin nodded with a smile, “The building in front of you is the wizard dormitory that I copied in its original state according to a one-to-one ratio, and even the internal layout is exactly the same.”

After saying that, Anduin walked out and waved to everyone, “Please move to the front of the building, and I will give a further detailed explanation.”

Everyone heard the words, looked at each other, and then got up and followed Anduin to the front of the building, forming a semi-circle in a fan shape.

Seeing that everyone had gathered around, Anduin stood in front of the door on the first floor of the building and said loudly, “We found that the wizard dormitories in the zone are very uniform, including the internal layout. Each dormitory has a total of 8 guest rooms, 4 on the second floor and 4 on the third floor.”

“When breaching the door, I have prepared enough [Silent Charms] for everyone. After activating this charm, you can break through without alarming anyone. This is the first tactical movement, ‘Silent Door Breaching’.”

After saying that, Anduin took out a metal charm, activated it, and pasted it on the door, and then blatantly cast an unlocking charm on the door.

During this process, no one around heard any movement.

“At the same time, when breaching the door, one person is responsible for breaching the door and the other is responsible for guarding. After breaching the door, you need to eliminate threats according to the standard route when performing the task, because we are not sure if anyone is still moving around after the lights are turned off. This is the second tactical movement, ‘Standardized Movement Route’. As long as you find someone in your sight, you must use the Stunning Spell to attack as soon as possible.”

“But here we should pay attention to the fact that every time you launch an attack, you must activate a [Silent Charm] to ensure that you will not alarm others.”

After saying that, Anduin took a charm in one hand and walked inside in front of everyone, keeping his wand straight and maintaining a guard posture, and quickly moved forward in the order of left and right first. During this process, his sight and wand were completely in a straight line, not letting go of any corner.

Precise and fast, that's what everyone around saw.

Then everyone saw a cardboard figure suddenly pop out in the hall on the first floor. The cardboard was very scribbled and painted with a person wearing pajamas.

And at the moment when the cardboard appeared, Anduin activated the [Silent Charm] in one hand and quickly shot a Stunning Spell from the wand in the other, instantly knocking the cardboard away, but there was no sound at all during the whole process, and even the cardboard flying out and hitting the wall remained silent.
