Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

Everyone at the scene also heard what Anduin meant. It turned out that this actual combat exercise was actually a relay race. Each team entered in sequence instead of waiting for the previous team to be eliminated before it was the turn of the next team.

In this way, the advantages and disadvantages of the teams that enter first and those that enter later are obvious. The team that enters first has a first-mover advantage, and their progress will definitely be faster than that of the teams behind.

The team that enters later has an intelligence advantage. They can summarize the gains and losses of the first entrants and identify obvious danger areas.

On the other hand, this also means that every action team participating in the mission has now transformed from companions to competitors. You must know that there is an upper limit on the number of hostages, especially the only princess.

After learning the news, the most uncomfortable thing was for the twins and others of the fourth team. They were the last ones to get in. After they got deeper, who knew whether the hostages had been rescued long ago.

"It's over, I thought we took advantage of it. Who would have thought that this would be the result." Fred held his head in pain.

"Don't get discouraged so early." Cedric acted relatively calmly, "You should have seen that this ruins is more dangerous than imagined. We have to use our advantages now, so we don't have no chance.

Catch up with the person in front."

After that, Cedric picked up a sharp stone from the side and drew a sketch of the ruins on the ground. He marked the three main roads and several obvious buildings, and marked the positions in the middle of the main road.

Marked a cross.

Hermione nodded repeatedly after seeing Cedric's approach, "Yes, at our level, we can catch up within a kilometer or two in a short time. It seems more advantageous to let them help us open the way in front."

"Okay, I hope the monsters in the ruins can give some strength, otherwise we will have to drink from the northwest wind." George took a deep breath, then sat down cross-legged and carefully inspected the movement ahead.

At this time, Wood, Neville and others of the second team were also ready. They learned the lesson of the first team and did not choose to enter the dungeon from the main road, but chose the small road on the left.

No one knew whether all the roads were traps, but it was too slow to move directly through the ruins. After thinking for a long time, Wood decided to try walking along a road.

Of course, he was not unprepared for the attack. After Wood led everyone into the dungeon, he immediately tilted his head and said, "We will move forward in a linear queue along the right side of the road in a while. If something unexpected happens, pay attention to my command.

But I said that when retreating, everyone should run to the right side. These ruins are our natural cover, and we won’t be separated if we retreat to the same side."

"Yes, Captain!" The honest and honest Neville responded immediately. Wood's arrangements can be said to be quite thoughtful, and at least emergency measures have been prepared.

Because of the lessons learned from Team Penello, this group of people behaved very cautiously. They basically didn't chat much along the way, and everyone carefully guarded the surroundings.

And this group of people soon encountered trouble of their own. After the second team walked along the left branch road for about a hundred meters, it seemed as if some switch was turned on. Soon there were people in the ruins around them.

There was movement.

It was the sound of rustling footsteps, accompanied by the crackling sound of falling stones and crushing, but other than that, there was no strange phenomenon in the field of vision.

This was completely different from the silence at the front of the first team on the main road, and it also made Wood and others immediately alert.

"Be careful, move aside and take cover. Neville, you are responsible for watching behind you, everyone will act according to the situation!" Wood was not in the mood to let everyone move forward so blatantly when encountering such a strange phenomenon, but took them to hide carefully.

After a while, they finally saw the source of the sound. At the intersection not far from everyone, a group of skeletons walked out. They had a complete range of troops and numbered close to twenty.

At the same time, there was actually a skeleton carriage in the queue, and a strange stone box was being dragged on the carriage. It should be shaped like a coffin.

This group of skeletons walked slowly past the crowd, as if they were not coming for the second group of people, but as if they were preparing to transport a coffin to a funeral.

"Skeletons dragging coffins? What are they doing?" Hannah Abbott in the team stared speechlessly at the skeletons appearing in front of her. It was difficult for her to understand why such an inconsistent thing as a coffin would appear among a group of undead creatures.

"I don't know, what should we do next? Should we wait until they leave before taking action or take the initiative to engage the enemy?" Ernie lowered his voice nervously, for fear of alarming the monsters.

Wood glanced at the skeleton queue, and after secretly calculating in his mind, he turned around and whispered, "There are 22 enemies in total, including 4 skeleton swordsmen, 6 skeleton spearmen, and 12 skeleton archers. The most difficult one to deal with should be

I can take care of those skeleton swordsmen, but are you confident in dealing with the rest of the enemies?"

In the second team, the honest Neville shared the information he knew about the skeleton structure with everyone early on, so they had a rough idea of ​​the strength of these monsters.

"How about we do it? Anyway, there are no strange enemies like giant skeletons among them. We can catch them by surprise!" Hannah, the only girl in the team, behaved very belligerently.

The remaining people also had expressions of eagerness to try. After all, this was just a battlefield simulation, and it was not a real battlefield to kill the enemy. Moreover, they had seen Mandy teleported back safely after being killed before, so these people were very familiar with the battle.

Not very scared.

"Okay, then when they move forward a little further, we will dig out the backs of these skeletons. You focus on the archers, and I will take care of the swordsmen!" Wood, who was born in the Lion Academy, had actually wanted to fight for a long time, but he

He had to take into account other people's thoughts, so he asked symbolically, but these little guys were more excited than him.

"Gah!"

But just when everyone was planning to ambush this group of enemies, a hoarse howl suddenly came from the coffin on the carriage, and then the advancing skeleton convoy stopped, and at the same time, these skeletons all turned their heads.

, looking at the hiding place of Wood and his party.

No, it was discovered!

When Wood saw this, he reacted very quickly. He quickly stood up and fired an impact spell that had already been charged up. At the same time, he shouted loudly, "Do it!"

Hearing his greeting, the others didn't hesitate. The four people, including Neville, fired four crushing curses in unison. They knew that it was most effective to deal with these enemies by smashing them to pieces!

"Bang bang bang!"

As soon as the battle started, the second team's attack began to bear fruit. Wood's charged knockback spell directly penetrated the entire convoy, and a skeleton swordsman and a skeleton spearman were smashed to pieces in an instant.

The spells of the remaining four people were also prepared long ago, so the accuracy of the first shot was quite good, defeating four skeleton archers respectively.

"Ouch!"

The skeletons, whose number was reduced to six in an instant, seemed to be enraged. They roared loudly and quickly assumed fighting postures.

The skeleton swordsmen and spearmen grabbed their weapons and rushed towards the crowd one by one. The archers also began to draw their arrows and bend their bows. A head-on battle was about to begin.

"Ernie, Terry, you two climb to the high point and deal with the archers directly. Even if you can't defeat them quickly, you still have to interfere with their attacks. Neville and Hannah will follow me to face the enemy head-on!" As a Quidditch player!

Captain Wood behaved extremely calmly when commanding the battle. He was already used to giving orders.

"yes!"

Ernie and Terry did not hesitate when they heard this. After such a long period of tactical training, they were no longer the little kids they used to be. They stepped on the rubble and debris next to them like steps, and quickly jumped to a broken house on the right.

On the second floor balcony, he started casting spells on the archers behind him.

"Flying sand and flying rocks!"

"There are many obstacles!"

Neither of them had the confidence to directly hit the enemy by aiming quickly from such a distance, so they both chose the interference strategy.

The sand and rocks thrown up by the Flying Sand and Stone Curse affected several skeleton archers who were gathered together, completely losing their accuracy. The Obstacle Curse directly pushed down two archers. Although it failed to crush them, it also delayed the attack.

.

"Shattered to pieces!" "Repulse quickly!"

With the cover of his teammates, Wood does not need to think too much about the incoming arrows, so he can launch attacks with great power. Even the skeleton swordsmen holding shields cannot stop his third-level knockback and crushing spells.

, so soon the skeletons in the front row were beaten to pieces one by one.

Although Neville and Hannah were slightly less accurate, no two or three spells could always hit one of them. Of course, some spells were directly blocked by the skeleton swordsman's shield, and some were not powerful enough after being hit directly.

They failed to defeat the enemy, but their spells undoubtedly suppressed the skeletons on the opposite side.

The current performance of these skeleton structures is worthy of their status as miscellaneous soldiers. Without being able to form a battle formation, they are no different from targets. After a while, they were reduced to only half of them. Seeing that the second team was able to kill them without any damage.

completely annihilated.

But at this moment, the skeleton carriage that was staying in place started to move!

"Crunch!"

The simple white bone coffin cover on the carriage suddenly made a sound, as if someone was pushing it inside. After a while, the coffin board finally loosened and was pushed away by a huge force.

Then in the coffin, a skeleton stood up straight like an ancient zombie, defying physics.

This skeleton is about the same size as an ordinary skeleton soldier, but unlike the other naked skeletons, it wears a set of slightly tattered leather armor, a light blue cloak with gold edges on its shoulders, and a hand in its hand.

Holding a thin sword with a guard, like an ancient fencer.

As soon as this skeleton in strange clothes appeared, he immediately turned his head and scanned the people attacking the convoy with his scarlet eyes. After a brief identification, he immediately focused his attention on the two young wizards on the second floor who were responsible for covering.

"Ouch!"

The blue-robed skeleton howled dryly, then kicked off its legs vigorously, and then the whole body glided past Ernie and Terry. It was obviously dozens of meters away from the two of them, but it was as complete as if it had sprouted a pair of wings.

Ignore gravity.

"careful!"

Ernie, who was constantly using magic spells to cover the front troops on the balcony, soon noticed the blue-robed skeleton. He quickly warned Terry next to him, and at the same time shot two magic spells at the enemies in the air.

But the blue-robed skeleton gliding in the air was like a nimble swallow. It could change its position freely in the air. It just swung to the right to avoid the incoming curse, and quickly rushed in front of the two of them.

"Come down, there's something wrong with this skeleton, don't fight him head-on!" Wood, who was facing the enemy, also noticed what happened to the two of them, shouted loudly, and at the same time fired a powerful and heavy knockback spell to try to cover him.

Ernie and the others evacuate.

But in the face of Wood's curse, the blue-robed skeleton just waved his sword and scattered the projectiles of the repelling curse, while attacking the two men relentlessly.

Facing the menacing skeleton swordsman, Ernie and Terry were a little panicked for a while. They didn't even notice Wood's warning and just blindly shot magic spells at each other.

But the thin sword in the blue-robed skeleton's hand was like a sharp blade. Whether it was a crushing spell or an obstacle spell, they were all cut into pieces like pieces of paper, and he swiped at Ernie before and after the bully approached.

Faced with this sharp attack, Ernie instinctively jumped back and barely managed to avoid it. However, the blue-robed skeleton moved extremely quickly, which was not comparable to the ordinary skeletons below. After the first blow missed, he raised his sword and stabbed again.

This time Ernie was not so lucky, he was pierced into a white light and disappeared on the spot.

Terry next to him felt like he was dying when he saw this. Is this skeleton so vicious?

And just when the blue-robed skeleton raised its hand to attack Terry again, the thin sword in its hand was suddenly held by another white bone sword. When he looked up, he realized that Neville had also jumped onto the balcony at some point.

It turned out that Neville was also very anxious when he saw the blue-robed skeleton rushing towards the two people on the balcony, but he was very self-aware and knew that his spell might not be able to affect the other person at all.

Therefore, after Wood crushed a skeleton swordsman who rushed forward, he immediately grabbed a bone one-handed sword, and then rushed to the balcony to prepare for close support.

It's a pity that Neville hurriedly hurriedly failed to save Ernie, but at least he arrived before Terry was in danger.

"Terry, get down quickly and I'll find a way to trap this guy."

Neville is not arrogant enough to think that he can challenge this elite monster alone, but he has carefully observed the opponent's attack patterns before. They are all relatively stiff horizontal and vertical slashes and straight thrusts, and the attack angles are also very fixed. It is estimated that this is this monster.

There are limitations to constructing a skeleton.

It's just that the blue-robed skeleton's attack speed is very fast, making it easy for people to lose track of it. Neville thought about it in his mind and thought that he should be able to barely block it.

"Okay!" Terry, who was in the same grade, knew Neville's abilities, so he didn't waste any time and jumped directly from the balcony.

He must quickly support Wood. The sudden appearance of the blue-robed skeleton has disrupted the rhythm of the frontal battlefield. The skeleton archers who were disturbed before have also been freed up. Now Wood is overwhelmed by the arrows shot from time to time.
