The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

On the battlefield of hunters and saints.

There's no need for Link to give orders at all.

As soon as those magic barrages were formed in the sky, everyone launched protective spells one after another near the dragon-hunting crossbow.

The next moment, a dense rain of curses hit the shield hard, causing ripples to appear on the surface of the shield. Some places that were unlucky enough to be hit repeatedly even broke into pieces.

It's just that the hunters' movements are even more intense.

Under their magic output, the damaged areas could be repaired in an instant, which directly resulted in the Aurors' concentrated fire hitting nothing.

Scrimgeour, who was high in the sky, turned dark when he saw this scene.

Because this scene was so similar to the previous Auror defense against the Death Eaters' attack at the gate of Gringotts.

In fact, all the protective spell tactics used by the hunters at the moment came from the Auror troops.

This tactic and all the variant spelling methods of the Protection Charm were originally the secrets of the Auror troops and were classified as secret strategies. It was only leaked out with the large-scale dismantling of the Auror troops after the Second Wizarding War.

The Foley family's hunter group has attracted a large number of retired Aurors, so it is natural that they will be passed down.

Still angry, Scrimgeour ordered the Aurors in the back row to continue firing spells to cover the Aurors in the front row.

Although the current Aurors are too poor to destroy the opponent's dragon-hunting crossbow at medium and long distances.

But Scrimgeour still firmly believed that Aurors were absolutely invincible in close combat.

At the same time, once they get close, those dragon-hunting crossbows will be useless.

But just as his command was issued, Link below swung his wand and threw out a ball of light the size of a basketball.

This ball of light shot directly into the sky at an extremely fast speed, and then exploded suddenly, hanging in the sky like a dazzling sun. In an instant, the entire cave was illuminated as bright as day, and it became silent in the darkness. The advancing Aurors took a clear picture.

Scrimgeour's expression changed instantly.

The opponent's attack, a variant of the Fluorescent Flashing Curse that was like a flash bomb and an illumination bomb, not only blasted the Aurors out of their latent state, but the intense light also temporarily disabled the Aurors' ability to fight.

At the same time, the hunters below were ecstatic.

Fighting low against high, their shooting range is much lower than that of Aurors. At the same time, the dragon hunting crossbow consumes a lot of energy and cannot be fired casually, so the front is passively defended.

But now it's different.

With almost no hesitation, dozens of dragon-hunting crossbows were launched instantly, and the thick energy crossbow arrows shot straight into the crowd above like a rainbow piercing the sun.

Boom boom boom...

A series of violent explosions suddenly sounded.

The flames soaring into the sky actually overwhelmed the light of Link's 'flash bomb' at a certain moment.

Those unlucky ones who were directly hit by the dragon-hunting crossbow would be instantly vaporized into nothingness, leaving no trace of their bodies, let alone screams.

The teammates around them weren't much better.

The powerful shock wave and high temperature killed them or knocked them unconscious almost at the same time.

That's not all the hunters attack.

Facing the Auror troops that had partially invaded the shooting range, the hunters deliberately chose units that were slightly further away when launching the dragon-hunting crossbows.

The other hunters who were already well prepared raised their wands in cooperation and fired a round of concentrated fire.

Dense scarlet light bullets soared into the sky, and the 'fish that slipped through the net' at the front instantly collapsed, and their bodies fell stiffly from the sky one by one.

clap clap clap...

Another burst of 'heavy rain' fell on the transparent shields above the hunters' heads.

The only difference from last time was that this time the 'heavy rain' was not the enemy's spell, but was composed of the enemy's corpses and limbs.

Seeing this cruel and ferocious scene, Newland and Si Gefen turned pale and were a little at a loss.

It was not until today that they finally understood that the war between wizards was such a cruel and tragic thing.

And behind the Auror troops.

Scrimgeour was no less shocked than they were.

He was a veteran of the Second Wizarding War, and was capable of various sophisticated strategies and tactics. However, due to the funding constraints of the Ministry of Magic and the more than ten years of peace between the Ministry of Magic and the Republic of China, he had never seen anything like a large-scale hunter. A new positional defense system with the dragon crossbow as the core.

The scene before him undoubtedly opened a new door for him.

At this moment, his mood was no better than that of the Polish Hussars who encountered German infantry tanks and the torrent of steel.

"Master...director, what should we do? Do we want to retreat?"

The assistant Auror came over and said with some stuttering.

Upon hearing this, Scrimgeour suddenly turned his head and glared at him, the burning anger in his eyes almost turning into reality.

There is no word "retreat" in the dictionary of the Auror force!

But when he turned around, he found that the Aurors nearby were looking at him expectantly.

The pride and confidence of the past were completely gone in these people's eyes, replaced by fear.

But it's not surprising. No matter which troop is destroyed by someone else's concentrated fire, nearly one-third of the troop will be willing to retreat.

In fact, the Aurors are already well-trained and have a strong will to fight before they collapse.

Scrimgeour's gaze slowly swept across the crowd. Wherever he looked, every Auror lowered his head in shame.

This made Scrimgeour's expression even more ugly.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and ordered:

"Everyone, lift the attack restrictions, grant you the highest freedom of fire during wartime, and carry out the last wave of raids!"

As soon as these words came out, those Aurors who were originally extremely ashamed raised their heads instantly, with surprise written on their faces.

Whether it is 'lifting the attack restriction order' or 'the highest right to fire freely during wartime', these are powers that should never be granted except as a last resort.

The former means that they can use various magic spells to attack at will, including black magic and the three unforgivable curses.

And the latter is even more outrageous.

This is tantamount to the coach taking the initiative to relieve himself of his command authority.

It was agreed that everyone should be free to select targets and fire without scruples.

They can even fire on teammates if necessary.

The soldiers themselves will not be held responsible for any consequences caused by the soldiers after issuing the above two instructions.

All responsibility will rest with the commander who issued the order.

"director--"

The assistant Auror murmured to himself as he looked at Scrimgeour in front of him, his pupils trembling with shock.

Scrimgeour said nothing, but nodded to him.

With this small gesture, the hesitation in the assistant Auror's eyes disappeared, leaving only endless determination.

He took a deep breath, turned around and began to charge downwards in the face of the gunfire. At the same time, he waved the wand in his hand repeatedly, and several miserable green death curses were shot out.

It's like a signal.

Most of the Aurors who had been stagnant around them roared and started to charge.

One after another, the life-killing curse and the fierce fire curse were used continuously.

If the Death Eaters outside saw this scene, they would probably pop their eyes out in surprise.

Because these Aurors are now much more skilled in using Unforgivable Curses and black magic than serious dark wizards like them.

But this is reasonable.

After all, the Aurors' funds were suppressed by the Ministry of Magic, making it difficult to maintain daily operations. If Scrimgeour wanted to maximize his combat effectiveness, he could only use his brains in these areas that cost no money.

What's more, Aurors also used the Unforgivable Curse during the Second Wizarding War.

At this time, on the battlefield, as the Aurors began to use dark magic, the originally one-sided situation gradually became evenly matched.

The extremely high speed and instant death of the Death Curse make the energy bolts fired by the Dragon Hunting Crossbow often explode midway.

The huge energy emitted by the explosion will be instantly absorbed by the swarming fire, turning into a more powerful flame beast and rushing downwards.

Aurors don't even need to use too much mental power to control Li Huo from losing control.

Because in Li Huo's field of vision, compared to wizards like them, the energy level of the charged dragon-hunting crossbow was as high as the scorching sun in the sky.

The Lihuos would just keep swooping down and not pay any attention to the Aurors.

Faced with such a ferocious attack, casualties finally appeared on the positions of the hunters and old saints.

Seeing a green life-killing curse shoot directly at a hunter through the gap in the shield, Link's expression became gloomy.

Powerful magic continued to pour out of his body, and before it was converted into a spell, it formed a substantial hurricane, blowing Link's combat uniform with a roar.

Link took a step forward with his right foot, and bent the arm holding the wand into a charging position for a slash.

"Shen Feng...Wu Ying!"

laugh--

The nearly 20-meter-long terrifying blade was slashed out, directly penetrating all the hunters' protection, and a terrifying explosion of air erupted in the air.

The well-trained Aurors naturally noticed the anomaly here.

They all began to focus their fire on the sharp blade.

Trying to use the old method of energy hedging to eliminate this slash.

They are very confident about it.

Because the Curse of Death not only has a high level of curse energy, but its single-point penetration is almost the strongest among all known magic powers!

Let alone a stalemate with a normal magic spell, I'm afraid it would be completely crushed by just one encounter.

The situation in the original work where the Disarming Curse and the Killing Curse win against each other is just a miracle caused by countless accidents and cannot be replicated in reality.

However, this time they misjudged the situation again.

The divine blade that Link slashed out cannot be described as any ordinary magic spell.

The main body of its blade is all composed of ultra-high concentration of curse power. In terms of energy level, ordinary life-killing curses are not even worth mentioning!

In full view of everyone, the huge blade finally collided with the sky full of green light and sporadic fierce fire.

An astonishing scene appeared.

A series of fires and explosions continued to sound in the air, but the blade did not pause at all. In just an instant, it shattered all the magic spells blocking it, and penetrated directly into the Auror team. After killing half of the Aurors, he crashed straight into the rock wall.

boom--

When the rock wall cracked, several low-level vaults hidden inside were also chopped into pieces.

A large amount of gold galleons rose into the sky along with gravel and smoke, forming a strange rain of gold coins.

The battlefield instantly became quiet.

Gold coins and gravel continued to fall from both sides, and some gold coins even hit some people's heads.

But at this moment, no one was picking it up at all, and no one was even in the mood to take a look.

Everyone looked at the terrifying slash marks on the rock wall with shocked expressions.

After a long time, a huge yellow cheer suddenly sounded from the positions of the hunters and saints.

Everyone cheered and began to attack the Aurors above at a faster speed.

The situation on the Auror side was exactly the opposite.

Link's move almost stunned them.

Even if they react now, they don't have much fighting spirit.

Most of the people maintained their resistance while looking at their director again, whose face was as black as carbon gray.

As for some people, adhering to the concept of seeking for others rather than seeking for yourself, they started to help the hunters destroy the anti-Apparition spell in the underground vault of Gringotts early.

They knew very well that there was an interception in front of them and a pursuit behind them.

The only way to survive is to destroy the barrier as soon as possible and phantom away!

Their move may have been very covert, but it was actually seen by Scrimgeour.

Scrimgeour didn't give these 'deserters' much trouble.

But his mood at this moment can no longer be described with a simple bad word.

The current combat effectiveness of the Auror force was beyond his imagination.

According to his past experience, when the Auror troops launch a full-scale attack, shouldn't they be able to crush the enemies with just one charge, right?

How could he be beaten like this when he was clearly outnumbered?

Looking at the panicked and hesitant faces around him, Scrimgeour felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

He gritted his teeth and finally announced:

"We withdraw..."

The last one returned without a word, and an emerald green death curse passed by his ear. The terrifying energy crushed a few strands of his hair and hit the chest of the assistant Auror beside him.

Under Scrimgeour's astonished gaze, the hesitant expression on the assistant Auror's face was still vivid, but the flesh color of his entire body had instantly faded and turned gray.

The flying spell surrounding the assistant Auror began to become unstable.

Scrimgeour instinctively wanted to reach out for help.

But his hand came up empty.

The assistant Auror's body rolled and fell straight down, bouncing a few times on the rock wall before being shot into powder by a dragon-hunting crossbow.

Scrimgeour's heart also trembled violently as the assistant Auror's body exploded.

This Auror has been his assistant for three years.

Although he is a bit verbose on weekdays and often makes some minor mistakes, but overall, he is still a good young man.

Scrimgeour originally planned to send him to the grassroots level to gain experience after Christmas so that he could take on big responsibilities in the future.

Just...go die here.

Scrimgeour's eyes instantly turned red.

He gritted his teeth and looked down, but found something was wrong.

That death-killing curse just now... seemed to have been struck from above?

Scrimgeour raised his head suddenly again, and then his pupils shrank suddenly.

I saw that the top of the cave that was originally illuminated by torches had now become pitch black. Countless dark wizards were entrenched in the air under the leadership of an elegant black shadow, laughing wildly at them.
