Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

In the battlefield dungeon, after the first wave of confrontation, the attacking team had been completely wiped out, while the members of the defensive team were cleaning the battlefield in an orderly manner.

"Hehe." Ron stood on the top of the mountain of Stronghold No. 2 and said with a high-spirited smile, "Those guys are nothing more than that. They were defeated by us in one confrontation. If you ask me, the advantage of the defenders in this dungeon is really too great.

, not only do you have all the strongholds to supply merit points and serve as resurrection points from the beginning, but you can also deploy personnel in advance.”

"I advise you not to be so optimistic." Draco, who was also on the defensive side, approached him. "At least judging from the results of this battle, we didn't gain much advantage."

"Are you out of your mind? Isn't it an advantage if we wipe them all out?" Ron glanced at Draco dissatisfied.

"No, Draco is right." Hermione shook her head solemnly at this time, "You have to know that in this dungeon, there is not much loss if you die in battle. What we need most is actually time. The ambush just now

Fighting, the best case scenario is actually to drag them in place, but the fighting lasted less than 5 minutes and ended."

"But what does this mean?" Ron raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"This proves that the commander on the other side is not stupid."

Wood, who was the commander of the defensive side, also came to the front line at some point and took over the conversation at the same time, "It seems that Percy has also seen through the essence of the Battle of Hastings. This is actually a life-changing game. The key lies in who changes lives."

It’s more efficient to replace it.”

Then Wood looked at Hermione again, "How was the previous battle? Did our battle losses be high?"

"The whole battle lasted less than 5 minutes. We lost 22 people and the enemy troops were completely wiped out."

Hermione answered truthfully, and then looked anxiously at the fire in front of her that had not yet been completely extinguished.

"The trouble now is that the terrain on the mountainside has been severely damaged. Even if the fire is extinguished, there will not be many natural bunkers that can be used for the next battle, and the top of the mountain is even more bare, which will gradually increase the difficulty of our defense.

.”

"Well..." Wood nodded, "Percy's reaction was very timely. Even though he knew he was being ambushed, he decisively gave up retreat and stopped the loss in time to pave the way for the next battle."

When Ron heard the two people's stories, he immediately became uneasy, "Then what will we do in the next battle? Do you think they will launch another general attack?"

"I hope they will continue to attack the second stronghold." Wood said with a smile, "We are actually not afraid of tug-of-war. After all, our resurrection point is on the mountain, and the support speed is much faster than theirs."

"That's not safe. Although we occupy a favorable location, there is a lack of bunkers on the mountain. It would be easy for something to happen if we fight hard." Draco also hesitated at this time.

The more the group fights, the smaller the role of individual bravery. In contrast, terrain and bunkers are obviously more important.

"Don't worry, we have gained a lot of merit in this battle. I have exchanged a large number of sandbags to build trenches. However, our strategic armaments are all defensive-oriented. I am a little worried about whether the opponent's armaments have corresponding countermeasures.

After all, the things in the merit list are really amazing."

"Judging from the results of the battle, their achievements this time should not be high." Hermione murmured, "In contrast, what is more worrying is... will the opponent change their tactics and let No. 2 go first?

For strongholds, give priority to occupying stronghold No. 3.”

"What's there to worry about?" Ron said disapprovingly, "What we have to do is to delay time. As long as we build the second stronghold into a metal barrel, it's not impossible to spend this hour."

"It's not that simple!" Wood shook his head. "If the opponent controls two strongholds, the most intuitive impact will be on the output of merit points. Their merit points will increase much faster, which also means that the growth of our merit points will decrease."

"With each ebb and flow, the gap in armaments will widen. The power of those strategic materials is not small, and there are many mercenary beasts among them that can directly change the situation."

"In addition, when the opponent has two strongholds, it means that they can attack us from two directions. When the time comes, we will be surrounded on the mountain and have people use large-scale magic spells to wash the ground. We won't be able to hold on for long."

Draco was shocked when he heard this, "Then should we allocate part of our troops to garrison No. 3 stronghold?"

"The points must be divided." Hermione lowered her head with some worry, "The question now is how much to divide. If there are few people going, it is equivalent to giving away food. If there are too many people going, what if the opponent chooses to make a desperate attack?

Where is Position 2?"

"This won't work, that won't work either. Why do I suddenly feel that we are the losing side?" Ron sighed speechlessly.

"Hermione is just putting the problems she may encounter on the table in advance. In fact, there is no need to worry so much." Wood smiled, "The core issue now is actually intelligence. I have arranged two teams to sneak over as reconnaissance teams.

, and also arranged for the two teams that were just killed to be resurrected at position 3."

"Once we discover the opponent's movements, we can make timely adjustments based on the enemy's decision-making."

"Ah?" Ron was shocked when he heard this, "Doesn't this mean that one-third of the troops have been allocated? What should we do if the enemy launches a general attack on Position 2 again?"

"Don't worry." Wood said calmly, "The two teams as the reconnaissance team are actually mobile troops. If they find that the situation is not good, they can take the initiative to attack and then come back to participate in the defense. So what we really lack is actually only two teams."

"Similarly, if the enemy allocates most of its troops to position 3, then we can just push out and use our superior strength to recapture position 1."

"I see." Hermione nodded, "Then the next step is to make adjustments based on their movements."

"That's right, this battle is essentially an intelligence war and a resource war!" Wood looked at Position 1 in the distance, "Then it all depends on the choices made by the commanders of both sides."

On the other side, the fallen wizards were resurrected one after another in Stronghold No. 1. Everyone looked a little downcast. After all, they had just been slaughtered with their heads pressed down, which really did not boost their morale.

"I'm sorry, it was my poor decision-making that led to this defeat." Percy, who was waiting in the position, faced everyone and apologized sincerely.

"Stop saying such nonsense."

Harry's face was rarely full of anger, and he couldn't keep calm after holding it back so much.

"What we have to do now is to get the place back as soon as possible! I don't want to be looked down upon by those guys across the street."

"That's right! Hurry up and give the order. It doesn't matter how many times you die. I just can't stand their arrogant face." Ginny, the grumpy old girl, jumped in the same hurry.

"Don't worry." Percy smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I just figured out the access to this dungeon. It seems that Wood and the others are planning to use Stronghold No. 2 as their main base. I'm afraid if we just rush in and fight hard, the gain will outweigh the losses."

"Then what do you mean, go and seize position three first?" Neville suggested.

"You want to grab it, but you can't use too much force." After pondering for a moment, Percy looked up at the top of the mountain in the distance, "What do you think Wood is thinking?"

"He will definitely not sit back and watch us win position three. He will definitely find a way to counterattack." Cedric touched his chin and guessed, "Maybe they have arranged for manpower to be stationed there."

"Doesn't that mean there are loopholes in their defense now?" Ginny's eyes lit up, "In that case, let's do the opposite and launch another general attack on the second position!"

"No!" Percy shook his head, "It's too difficult to conquer the second position, and I don't think the other side will send too many people to the third position."

"I guess the number of people Wood will choose will not exceed two teams, which is 8 people."

"Then let's arrange for three teams to sneak attack on Position 3 and seize it first? Our team can take on this task," Harry suggested.

"No, your team's combat effectiveness cannot be wasted in a place like this." Percy shook his head again. "Sending one more team will make Position 1 short of manpower. If they take the opportunity to counterattack from a high position, we may not be able to withstand it!

"

"Then what should we do?" Ginny frowned worriedly, and then asked in confusion, "But how will the other side know how many people we have sent to Position 3?"

"This is the key point that determines victory or defeat!" Percy suddenly became more energetic when he said this. "I guess Wood must have arranged one or two teams to go down the mountain to conduct reconnaissance."

"If we launch a general attack, these two teams can quickly return to the defense through suicide attacks. At the same time, if we arrange too many people to seize position three, they can respond quickly and launch a counterattack."

"So!" Percy's eyes lit up with a cold light, "The first thing we have to do now is to knock out the enemy's eyes! Only in this way can we take the initiative!"

"How to fight?" Harry's eyes narrowed, and his whole body became murderous.

"Use them!"

Percy stepped aside and revealed several items hidden behind him, which were five broomsticks, which he had obviously redeemed at some point.

"Cedric, Harry, Neville, Ginny, now I give you a very important task." Percy pointed at the broomsticks, "I need you to use your broomsticks to find those scattered in the wilderness from high altitudes.

enemies and eliminate them one by one."

"At the same time, I will also arrange for a wizard to go to position three with a flying broomstick to conduct reconnaissance and find out the deployment of troops on the opposite side."

"As for the rest, they will be divided into three groups, and they will harass the No. 2 position according to the echelon configuration, diverting the enemy's attention, consuming their energy, and further damaging the terrain. By the way, it will also prevent the opponent from continuing to send reconnaissance troops."

"So your mission is very important!" Percy looked at Harry and others solemnly, "As long as you clear it in time, the manpower I arranged can avoid the investigation on the other side and capture the No. 3 position!"

"Good idea! We understand." Cedric agreed very much with Percy's arrangement and immediately led the three Harrys to the broomstick.

"You have to take it easy!" Percy warned again, "This group of flying broomsticks has spent all the current merit points. If all our previous efforts are wasted, we will be passive."

"And the opponent is very likely to have similar exchange items. We can't seize air supremacy for a long time, so the most important thing in this task is speed. The opponent must have spent all their resources on reinforcing their positions. If they can also exchange it for

air power, we would lose our intelligence advantage."

"Don't worry!" Ginny, the youngest in the team, patted her chest confidently, "I promise to complete the mission, and after removing the ground reconnaissance troops, we will find a way to establish an air defense line and never let their hands reach out of the turtle shell.

!”

"Yeah!" Percy nodded happily, "It's good that you have such an awareness. Take action quickly. The frontal troops must also move out immediately, and you can't give the other side too much time to react."

Soon, members of the offensive and defensive sides began to act according to their respective strategies.

The attacking party was divided into several groups and launched wave after wave of charges against Position 2.

Although such sporadic attacks did not put too much pressure on Wood and the others, this continuous offensive also required them to be on alert at all times.

At the same time, due to the attackers' continuous destruction of the terrain, the mountain road leading to the second position has been riddled with holes, and the trees on it have been completely destroyed.

In this way, although the field of vision becomes better when defending, it also makes it difficult for them to counterattack. The clear terrain outcrops are too obvious.

Moreover, such waves of attacks by the offensive side did not bring trouble to the defensive side.

After repelling four consecutive attacks from the attackers, several wizards reached the forefront of the trenches.

One of Harry's roommates, Seamus Finnigan, rushed into the trench and without hesitation issued a thunderbolt explosion curse, instantly killing the five wizards responsible for the defense, which also caused quite a commotion.

.

"What are Percy and the others trying to do? It's really baffling." Hermione in the trench wiped the dirt that splashed on her face and cursed, "What's the difference between such an attack and death? Don't they want to win?"

"I can't understand it now, but I always have a bad feeling."

Wood, who was also in the trench, also frowned in confusion, but when he received a certain message from the earphones, his expression suddenly changed.

Then he rushed out of the trench without stopping and went to the cliff on one side of the stronghold to look at it through binoculars.

Hermione on the side was a little confused, and then followed her and asked quickly, "What happened?"

"Percy and the others actually have flying broomsticks over there!" Wood shouted while scanning the sky anxiously, "A team that went out to investigate just had an accident, and the news came back that they were attacked by Harry and Neville.

Air strike!"

The latest first release.
