The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 676 The war has begun...

In such a dull atmosphere, Link quickly ate up the whole bowl of pumpkin stew.

It made him feel warm all over.

A sweet smell unique to pumpkin still permeated between his lips and teeth.

The door of the office opened at the right time. Old Kret, who was also wearing a dark green combat uniform, leaned against the door and looked at Emily who was still unwilling to separate from Link in the room with a smile. Like Mrs. Foley, she did not stop her at all. mean.

As an old man, what he likes to see most is when the juniors are getting along.

Old Batty and Percy behind him were not so relaxed.

The intimate scene in front of them made them all lower their heads, pretending to be scarecrows, to prevent themselves from seeing things they shouldn't see.

"It looks like it's almost time."

Link spoke, got up and hugged Emily and Mrs. Foley.

This made Emily's eye circles red.

She was still tugging at the hem of Link's clothes, with a look of reluctance.

But Mrs. Foley was much tougher. Not only did she stop Emily from continuing to speak, but she also said to Link with a serious face:

"Don't worry Link, nothing will happen at home while you're away, I can guarantee that."

Link is naturally relieved about this.

As the female patriarch who once single-handedly dragged the Foley family out of the vortex of being cleansed and grew stronger, Mrs. Foley has sufficient strength to continue to maintain the country that Link has built.

It's just that the other party's serious attitude made Link really unable to hold back.

He shook his head with a smile and said:

"You don't need to be so nervous. This time it's just a small operation. If the speed can be faster, maybe I can finish the mission and go home in two days."

"Anyway, this is war! And as long as it is war, there will be casualties and accidents!"

Mrs. Foley said firmly, "It is the tradition of the Foley family to hold a ceremony for the Patriarch who is about to leave. This means that other members of the family will take good care of the family during the Patriarch's absence. It also represents the patriarch's guarantee to the family members that he will You will triumph and return safely. Back then, your father let me down. But now, I sincerely hope that you will not."

After saying that, Mrs. Foley took another serious look at her son, stepped forward to hug him, and pressed her cold face to his son's.

Link could feel his mother's face was cold, and her muscles were still trembling.

Obviously, Mrs. Foley's mood was not as calm as she had shown before.

"I will return safely, I assure you."

After Link spoke solemnly, he led old Kled and the others away slowly under the watchful eyes of Mrs. Foley and Emily.

It wasn't until several people entered the magic elevator that Link's aura began to change slowly.

From the young head of the family who was separated from his mother and wife, he became the supreme committee member in charge of the Ministry of Magic again.

This also made old Batty and Percy breathe a sigh of relief.

Maybe it's because they have been abused by Link for a long time, they don't like Link's tender appearance very much.

This can make them very nervous.

It's as if Link will kill them to silence them the next moment.

Well, it's all over.

They quickly entered the state and made a final report to Link:

"Your Excellency Foley, all the personnel have been concentrated, and the teleportation array in the teleportation hall has also been constructed, and after continuous testing, it is confirmed that it can be used."

"In addition, we have already communicated with No. 10 Downing Street. The Muggle Prime Minister of the country has agreed to help us block the border.

And require a magic test for every Frenchman who enters the country. But at the same time, he asks us to explain why there have been so many magic sightings breaking out lately. "

"Honestly, he was so angry that I was a little bit concerned that he was going to play tricks on our assignment."

"No, he didn't dare."

Link spoke softly, and then remained silent again.

The old Batty and Percy on the side also shut their mouths when they heard the words.

After experiencing what happened in Link's office a few days ago, they no longer had the guts to act presumptuously in front of Link.

Accompanied by a crisp sound of 'ding', and the notification sound of the cold girl.

The door of the magic elevator opened again.

Link took a long breath and stepped out.

Walking through the long and dark corridor, the brilliance appeared in front of the eyes of several people.

A huge indoor square appeared in front of everyone.

This entire square covers an area of more than two thousand square meters, and its height also reaches an astonishing thousand meters. It is all made of snow-white magic alloy, even the vaulted ceiling above everyone's heads is no exception.

Only in the most central position of the 'square' did there appear large patterns painted in black.

These patterns are connected with each other, and finally form a complicated circular array.

But at this moment, on top of this large formation, there are densely packed fighters and Aurors standing in a phalanx formation.

The discipline of these personnel is not as good as the soldiers in Muggle society. Even when their squad commander is still on the scene, their formation looks a bit loose, and there are many people whispering, these After the sounds gathered together, they formed a huge sound, which echoed in the empty square.

It is inevitable that this will happen.

From the moment Link decided to incorporate the Foley Family Hunters into the Aurors, he hadn't expected any discipline from the Aurors and Strikers.

However, when Link appeared in their field of vision, the annoying voice disappeared instantly.

Almost everyone instinctively stood up straight, wanting to show the best of themselves to their commander-in-chief.

Snapped--

Newland, who was standing at the front of the phalanx, stepped forward heavily, and shouted to Link with his chest out:

"Report, all personnel have been assembled, including 400 Aurors! 650 strikers! 110 temporary Hogwarts strikers! 140 temporary strikers from Durmstrang! 50 non-staff personnel! Logistics..."

Every time Newland reported the name of a team, Link would look in the direction of that team.

And the people in that phalanx will also salute Link excitedly.

There was fear in their fiery eyes, but more excitement and admiration.

Today, even the most stubborn conservative among them will no longer have much ill-feeling towards Link.

Because Link's powerful strength has long been known to every household.

Of course, what is more important is Link's courage.

Faced with the current situation, the Minister of Magic who can directly declare war on the French magic world is unique in history!

And this is exactly what the Aurors and strikers, and even all the wizards of the country need!

With such emotions in their hearts, almost everyone present was so excited.

Especially the makeshift battering corps, made up entirely of Hogwarts students.

To be honest, when Link learned that the Hogwarts Temporary Strikers had a total of 110 members, he was stunned, because apart from Cedric, who he specially sent over, more than 20 people served as commanders. Except for the adult wizards, the remaining eighty or ninety students are almost all the students in the 6th to 7th grades of Hogwarts.

To be fair, he has already placed quite strict restrictions on the recruitment of underage wizards.

One of the most stringent ones is that those who join the army must obtain the consent of their guardians.

In Link's mind, no parents would be willing to see their children go to the battlefield unless it was absolutely necessary.

This is determined by the most basic human nature.

But he still underestimated the current enthusiasm for war in the country's magic circle.

After hundreds of years of decline, the MZ mood of the wizards in the country was already high. Now that something like this has happened, they are naturally eager to use a war of revenge to restore their lost honor.

It's not just these students who joined the battering force, even the parents of many students are standing in the phalanx at the moment.

Looking at those familiar resolute faces, Link felt a little stuffy in his chest.

He solemnly returned a salute to Cedric and the others, and then continued to walk forward.

When he got close to the center of the teleportation array, he stopped again and looked at Sirius in front of him.

Sirius looked much more haggard than before.

He seems to have returned to the time when he escaped from Azkaban, the gray stubble covered his whole face, and he was very thin, only his bloodshot eyes still radiated heat And crazy light.

Link was not surprised that he appeared here.

For Sirius, Harry is already the only reason for him to live.

But now, for this reason, he was directly beaten into a vegetable, and he could only lie in the special ward of St. Mungo's Magic Injury Hospital every day and rely on magic to survive, which made him unbearable.

What really surprised Link was the group behind Sirius.

Lupine, Tonks, Moody, Hagrid, Figg...

This is almost the entire staff of the Order of the Phoenix.

"I really didn't expect that Dumbledore would allow you to participate in this battle."

Link glanced over the crowd and said quietly.

It was said that Sirius grinned with yellow teeth and glared at Link like a vicious dog, his eyes full of hatred and anger.

Although other people have told him countless times that what happened to Harry had nothing to do with Link, and even thanked Link for forgiving Harry, in Sirius' consciousness, Link still caused Harry to become this One of the culprits for his appearance, but compared to the French wizards, the sin is not so deep.

With such paranoid thoughts, he is actually completely insane.

Turned into a mad dog, biting anyone who came close.

Fortunately, there are still Lupine and Tonks behind him.

The two grabbed Sirius' arm from left to right, and smiled apologetically at Link.

The two of them still have a good impression of Link.

At least Lupine received Link's guidance and visited the snowfield to fully suppress the werewolf disease. At present, even if he does not drink the wolf's poison potion, he will not transform on the night of the full moon, and his offspring will become werewolves. The probability of disease is also greatly reduced.

This made Lupine less scruples and more confident, and officially became a couple with Tonks.

But even they still couldn't answer Link's words.

In the end it was Moody who limped out of the line.

He raised the jug and took a sip into his mouth, saying:

"It's true that the president of the Order of the Phoenix is Dumbledore, and it's true that we only listened to Dumbledore's orders before, but in fact, the Order of the Phoenix is just a loose alliance society, and there are no rules that anyone must obey. That is Said, as long as we agree, we can do whatever we want, and Dumbledore can't control us."

Hagrid, who was standing behind him, pouted in dissatisfaction as soon as the words came out.

Link nodded in satisfaction and said:

"I see. Dumbledore did not explicitly order you to come here, but acquiesced to your behavior."

This is very important to Link.

Because this means that Dumbledore also agrees with this war and will take action in the war.

Moody opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to refute, but in the end he sighed and said:

"Forget it, think whatever you want. Anyway, our goal is just to destroy Voldemort. You should understand what I mean by this sentence, right? Except for Voldemort, we will not help you deal with anyone else, including the French Ministry of Magic Wizard. So don't really think of us as your servants."

Link didn't speak, but just sneered and glanced at the grinning Sirius beside him.

That meaning is already obvious.

Sirius wasn't going to do what Moody said.

I'm afraid that he will be the one who hates the French wizard the most when he arrives at the scene.

Moody obviously also understood the meaning in Link's eyes, and he couldn't hold back his face, and he continued to talk when he raised his brow.

It's a pity that Link has lost interest in continuing to communicate with them, and stepped straight onto the high platform in the center of the teleportation array.

This is the highest position in the entire teleportation hall, and it is also a position that only Link can set foot on.

It has been specially designed by the Department of Magic and Transportation to ensure that Link can clearly see the faces of everyone present while standing here, and at the same time, everyone in the audience can also see their commander clearly.

This is crucial.

Because the most special point in this war is that the "Minister of Magic" also participated in the war in person.

In a sense, this is basically equivalent to the ancient "Yujia's personal conquest", which is the difference between "charge me" and "follow me".

This way of fighting has advantages and disadvantages.

The good thing is that for ordinary Aurors and strikers, Link's existence is equivalent to a battle flag of the Ministry of Magic. As long as Link is still on the battlefield and can be seen by everyone, then everyone's Morale can be greatly increased.

But relatively, its disadvantages are also obvious.

After all, the enemy is not blind.

The priority of capturing the flag on the battlefield has always been very high.

Once the banner of Link arrives, the collapse of the troops is a certainty.

Of course, the probability of the latter happening is almost equal to zero.

Everyone is pretty confident about that.

And after losing the scruples about safety, Link's effect as a morale booster has been raised to the extreme.

Link had just stood on the high platform, and everyone present turned their fiery eyes on Link.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Link to release the pre-war declaration.

This is the procedure that the Ministry of Magic of the United States must carry out every time it conducts military operations.

It is also an important means for the successive ministers of the Ministry of Magic to show their presence in front of Aurors and strikers.

In the past, soldiers always scoffed at such speeches.

But this time, they had unprecedented expectations.

They longed for what Link had to say.

However, Link, who stood on the high platform and was watched by everyone, remained silent.

The entire teleportation hall was silent and could hear a needle drop.

The blood in their hearts was boiling in everyone's chest, but they still couldn't get vented.

In this oppressive atmosphere, everyone seemed to be able to hear their own fierce heartbeats, and a huge and vast momentum also radiated from the square formation.

And just when everyone's emotions were suppressed to the extreme, and some people couldn't help but want to scream.

Link finally raised his wand.

The azure blue magical aura rippled from the tip of the staff, and resonated with the teleportation array.

"revenge!"

A sonorous and powerful voice came from Link's mouth, echoed in the teleportation hall, and entered the hearts of everyone present.

Immediately afterwards, the accumulated momentum finally got a vent!

Countless people all imitated Link's appearance and raised their wands, roaring:

"revenge!"

That's right, there is no need for any high-sounding declaration at all.

There is no need to confirm one's own justice.

Because this is pure revenge!
