I, Hogwarts Week Two

Chapter 366 Artillery Cleansing the Ground

When Tonks stepped onto the deck.

The twins then realized that someone was on board the ship.

Their ship has sensing magic, and they can easily detect intruders.

"Someone's coming!" Fred said.

"But - how could anyone discover us?" George rushed to the rudder and after checking it, said, "No problem! The Disguise Curse is fine."

"It must be some other reason." Hermione interrupted, "It's Tonks."

Looking at the figure walking into the cabin, Hermione recognized her at a glance.

That pink hair is so iconic.

She had met this girl before at the funeral of Sirius' brother Regulus.

During the Tournament, she was also responsible for the security around Hogwarts.

It is an acquaintance.

"What are you!"

When Tonks walked into the cabin, he glanced at everyone.

His face immediately became serious.

"You should be in London now, in your respective homes, not here."

"I need to inform Professor McGonagall immediately!" she said.

These little guys are really not afraid of death.

As expected of a Gryffindor student—oh! She also forgot that there is a Gryffindor heir over there.

She knows best what the situation in the sea ahead is now.

As a liaison, she knows both wizard and Muggle information.

And she didn't mention the fact that there was a magical glass screen on the Muggle ship that was broadcasting the battle ahead in real time.

In short - now the wizard has died.

The corrosive fire of the Legion of Omen caught most wizards off guard.

On the one hand, it is indeed because this kind of creature is too weird and they have never come into contact with it. On the other hand, it is also due to the magic casting habits of wizards. After all, modern wizards mostly deal with dark wizards, such strange creatures. , they will never see each other once in their lifetime, it is normal for something to happen.

And a battlefield that can cause casualties to adult wizards is simply hell for young wizards.

Of course she would be anxious.

"Wait!" Fred jumped out and asked confusedly, "Tell me first, how did you discover us? Do you also have Professor Moody's magic eye?"

He stared at Tonks's eyes for a long time, but he didn't see the possibility that those dark eyes were magic eyes.

"On Muggle warships, there is something called - um - something called radar. Anyway, your ship is a very clear little green dot on their screen. They discovered you when it was a few nautical miles away. "

"It's just that they weren't sure of your identity, otherwise they would have opened fire long ago."

Tonks' pink hair was stained with rainwater. She was holding a wand in one hand and a broom in the other, looking at everyone with a sullen face.

"Radar?" Gemini touched his head, what is that?

"Radar!" Hermione said in surprise, "Radar can detect the ship under the Disillusionment Curse, oh! Yes - the Disappearance Curse only makes the ship transparent, not makes it disappear. According to this, the invisibility cloak also It has no effect on radar!"

"Yes." Tonks shook her head in displeasure, "They also have several types of glasses called thermal imaging cameras, infrared sensors, etc. Although they can't be seen with the naked eye, they can indeed... Find our traces."

Speaking of this, Tonks' face suddenly showed an angry look.

Judging from her reaction, she must have been caught out by Muggles like this before, so her tone of voice suddenly became so serious.

"Ah?" Gemini made a surprised sound, and then immediately showed excitement, "Do you have that kind of thing? Can you lend it to us for study?"

"No, I'm very busy. You should turn around immediately and go back to the island -" Tonks was about to speak, but in the middle of her words, she suddenly stopped.

Then, she took a few steps back and put the hand holding the wand against her right ear. It could be seen that there seemed to be something like a headset hanging in her ear.

After about a few seconds, she spoke again, "Yeah - I'm busy again. The Muggle fleet commander is going to launch an artillery strike on the eastern front. Let me go and disperse the wizards now."

"I really don't understand how I can become a Muggle subordinate now."

As she spoke, she looked back at the young wizards present.

"Forget it, I know you won't leave, Gryffindors are like this - I don't have time to stare at you.

Just stay on the outside and help save people. There are too many Muggles falling into the water. Remember not to get close to the maelstrom, don’t get close to the maelstrom, don’t get close to the maelstrom! ! ! "

"I don't care if I lose my life!"

After saying that, Tonks immediately turned around.

The commander of the Muggle fleet was very rude to him.

She was also given the codename Mystique. On the ship, she was monitored without stopping for a moment.

After they learn that they can change their appearance at will.

In fact, she knew that - not just the Muggle fleet - the entire Muggle governments were unhappy with them!

In the eyes of the heads of state, this matter was caused by you wizards.

No matter what the reason is!

Today, the losses in cities along the Mediterranean alone have exceeded trillions of dollars.

This does not include the casualties and subsequent reconstruction work.

Such huge losses are enough to bankrupt countries such as Italy and Greece.

As for wizards, can they compensate Muggles for their losses?

It was impossible no matter how you looked at it - how could the Muggle leaders have a good face.

They didn't give an order, they blew up the wizards into the sky together, and they even gave advance notice - this was the most conscientious thing they had done in so many years.

As Tonks left, the little wizards in the cabin looked at each other, and Ron, George, and Fred had doubts in their eyes.

When did wizards and Muggles get so close?

Is the sun about to rise from the west?

I don't understand.

Since they didn't understand, they didn't think about it. Fred drove the sailboat again, turned on full power, and continued to sail into the depths of the sea.

And Hermione and Harry - they are actually more willing to see wizards and Muggles communicate, maybe wizards won't have to hide in the future.

At least some cooperation can be achieved.

Although the current communication is not very pleasant, communication is better than no communication. I hope this incident is a good start.

----------

At this time, on the other side of the sea.

The eastern front of the battlefield.

The surging brown water was lapping at the wizards' front line.

Although after supervising the war, wizards from various countries finally showed some real skills. But the front line is still being moved backwards, they just slowed down the trend.

Originally, after some wizards began to use some powerful black magic, they could barely withstand it.

But as some wizards suffered casualties.

The evil omens born from the flesh and blood of wizards are more than a little more powerful than those of Muggles.

The brown flame turned into a cold white and black fire.

This kind of flame seemed to be able to burn the soul, and the armor curse couldn't resist it. A large number of wizards died on the spot.

Their bodies were swallowed by the sea water, and in the next second, they became part of the twisted limbs, and a new son of evil omen was born.

To deal with such flames, the wizard could only resist by using the curse to stop, but - their number was still too small.

It is impossible for wizards to deal with the Son of Omen while also dealing with this new enemy throwing black and white flames.

This caused their front to continue to move back.

"Where are the Egyptian support troops? Africa, ask for help from Wagadu Magic School!"

Theseus asked the Auror beside him with a sullen face.

He was a Greek Auror, about fifty years old, with short dirty blond hair, and a pure white robe, with gold trim on the cuffs and collar.

The family crest on his chest shines brightly. He comes from an ancient pure-blood wizard family.

Another guy who came to power on Galleons.

There was a trace of disgust in Theseus's eyes, but he still asked patiently. The other person was the deputy director of the Auror Command Office of the Greek Ministry of Magic. Now was not the time for internal friction.

"Vagadu Magic School, the liaison officer of the federation has rushed over, people from Northern Europe and Durmstrang Magic School have arrived and joined the northern line on the spot, and Kodos Doris Magic School is on the southern line. "

"Most of the Aurors in Egypt joined the fighting on the southern front."

"Kodos Doris Magic School? Russians?" Theseus' eyelids twitched, "They are here too."

Kodos Doris Magic School is located in Russia. The specific location is unclear. I heard it is near Moscow.

The Russian Ministry of Magic - no - it should be the Soviet Union. The Ministry of Magic and the Federation are at loggerheads, because they don't abide by the "Secrecy Act" very much, and the wizards there are very close to Muggles, and they also reject European ones. Wizard culture infiltrates.

For example, in the Quidditch match at Kodos Doris School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, little wizards ride on a giant moving war tree. Only the Russian Quidditch national team uses broomsticks.

This is a compromise!

If it weren't for participating in the World Cup, they wouldn't be riding broomsticks!

This is exactly the same as the big countries in the Far East.

It's even worse over there. They regard the "Law of Secrecy" as useless paper. They have their own set of rules for dealing with wizards and Muggles.

In principle, the Ministry of Magic of the Ming Dynasty agreed that all wizards should be hidden.

But how to hide it? On the route, they have huge differences with the Federation.

Theseus heard that the wizards there abided by the concept of hiding in the city.

Wizards and Muggles live under the same roof.

Originally, if the Ministry of Magic had no laws and regulations from the Federation, the Federation would definitely send people to criticize it, and even intervene in the past.

However - as the so-called contradiction between small countries disappears after the Federation mediates, the small countries conflict with the big countries, the small countries disappear after the Federation mediates, the big countries conflict with the Federation, and after the Federation mediates, the Federation disappears.

Based on population, as one of the most powerful ministries of magic in the world, the Ming Ministry of Magic can challenge the entire federation.

Their wizarding population numbers nearly a million.

The total wizard population in Europe and America is only one million.

If the federation divides its rights according to population, then the Ministry of Magic of the Ming Dynasty alone will get nearly a quarter.

This is why the Federation can make all the difference in Europe, but has little presence in the Far East.

The majestic British Empire, as one of the founding members of the Federation, would have long been reduced to a third-rate country if it had not been for blood transfusions from India and overseas provinces.

<divclass="contentadv">"What about other countries?" Theseus shook away the depressed thoughts in his mind.

"What about the Ministry of Magic in other surrounding countries?"

"Everything that can be mobilized has already been mobilized." The Greek replied, "The only place that can still mobilize manpower is the Middle East, but - you know, the Federation cannot mobilize them."

"Theseus!"

Just as the two were talking, Tonks suddenly appeared next to them, "The Muggle artillery is coming, you guys need to get away."

"what?"

"Artillery, bombs, don't you understand?"

"Okay, I understand." Theseus nodded. He was just thinking about other things and was a little distracted. "Notice, ask the Aurors to withdraw one sea mile." Then, he ordered the Greeks beside him.

"Understood!" The Greek nodded, and then apparated away as well.

As for Tonks, she did not stay, but continued to disapparate to another place.

The Muggle fleet's artillery fire wasn't just on the eastern front - it was also on the southern front.

The rate of collapse there was much faster than in the other three directions.

Egypt and Libya are extremely anxious. Those monsters are about to attack their homeland. Can they not be anxious?

The Russians - they came a little late.

The wizards - fled away in panic.

Theseus looked angry and sighed at the same time.

He knew from a very early age that there was something wrong with the Auror system of the Ministry of Magic.

Aurors - essentially wizards' police force - used to catch a dark wizard or something, no problem.

However, when the occupation changed, from a personal battle to a magic battle involving tens of thousands of people, the disadvantages of the Auror system became apparent. Compared with the wizard army, the strength of Aurors in individual battles is negligible.

This is why - Grindelwald's Witch Army - the first wizard army and the only one, suppressed the entire European Aurors without clearly having a numerical advantage.

After the First Global Wizarding War, he proposed to the Federation to form an army of wizards - unfortunately the proposal was shelved.

First of all, they thought it was unnecessary. Grindelwald had already been defeated at that time. Secondly, the Ministry of Magic of each country disagreed. The wizard army could not be formed by the Ministry of Magic of any country (except for Ming Dynasty). This matter could only be done by the Federation. Take the lead.

But for the Ministry of Magic of various countries, the Federation has been too strong during the war. Many of their administrative powers have been stripped away, and now they have to form an army!

Then just let the Federation rule them, what else would the Ministry of Magic do?

But now - if there is an army of wizards at hand, it will be much easier to deal with such emergencies.

"Hey-" Theseus sighed.

There are too many shortcomings in the magical world, both in the system and in people.

He was also tired and didn't want to be involved with these troubles anymore, so he chose to leave politics.

But leaving doesn't mean that you don't care about worldly affairs, no - if something happens, you have to pull him out.

And just when Theseus was confused about the wizard's future.

In the distance - a rumbling sound suddenly came from the horizon.

The firelight illuminated the dim sky under dark clouds.

The clouds burned.

It shines with orange-red light.

Then the light fell, like a meteor shower, hitting the sea.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

"boom!"

The explosion sounded instantly.

Less than a minute after this round of salvo ended, the roar of fighter planes was heard in the sky again.

Hundreds of bombers, escorted by fighter jets, began to rapidly lower their altitude.

After arriving at the designated location, countless cluster bombs fell from the sky.

The roar sounded again.

After the first round of bombing, the second round bomber continued to drop bombs.

Similarly, in the direction of Greece, long-range rocket launchers on the coastline also began to pour firepower.

In an instant, the sea turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The sea water reflects the light of the fire, and the sparkling spots are like stars blinking.

However, this light is more of a fiery orange light.

At a glance, the sea seems to have become a hell.

It's a pot of soup cooked by Satan!

"Although these artillery fires are not very effective against wizards." Sirius apparated for some unknown reason and appeared next to Theseus. He breathed heavily and said intermittently, "But I have to say, this explosion is really powerful. It’s so cool!”

"When wizards can also have this kind of weapon, then we can sit comfortably in the office and press a button to destroy all enemies."

"Instead of thinking about this, you might as well think about how to block the defense line after the bombing is over." Theseus remained calm, the flames reflected in his eyes, but there was no trace of happiness on his face.

"Can't such intensive artillery fire kill these monsters?"

"If it can be killed, why do you think the battle on the Western Front is not over yet?" Theseus asked, "There is a huge Muggle fleet over there."

"Asshole!" Sirius cursed, "Why are the enemies I met recently constantly resurrected?"

After the baptism in the past few days, the dog godfather naturally immediately thought of the key to the resurrection of flesh and blood.

It seems that monsters that have anything to do with outside gods can continue to resurrect.

"Stop complaining!" Theseus sighed, "Take advantage of the emptiness after the artillery strike and quickly push out the battle line."

Theseus' prediction was quite correct.

After a bombing that lasted for more than ten minutes.

The sea was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

It looks like some kind of mist floating over the water.

But after the wizard dispersed the mist, under the turbid water, the twisted limbs and remaining flesh and blood sprouted alive.

Thin red threads are drawn out everywhere on the sea, like blood vessels. The broken flesh begins to repair itself. In the near future, these flesh and blood will re-form into ferocious sons of evil omen.

The only difference is that the number may be reduced.

But in the face of infinite quantity, if you reduce a part, it is still infinite.

The wizard couldn't figure out how there could be so much flesh and blood for these monsters.

They did not realize that the Great Vortex of Charybdis existed very early, and it had existed for at least a thousand years, or even two thousand years.

In these countless years, part of the essence of the god has accumulated an unknown amount of flesh and blood.

The creatures that have died in the Mediterranean for two thousand years have more or less become her nourishment.

They are not fighting the monsters transformed by the crashed Muggle cargo ship in the past month, nor are they fighting the monsters transformed in the past hundred years, but they are fighting monsters that have been around for thousands of years.

In this final chapter, God gave her everything.

At the far end, Hermione and the others also watched the wizard's bombing.

The scene of gunfire washing the ground left a deep impression on everyone.

Especially the Geminis and Ron.

Although wizards can easily avoid these artillery strikes by using Disapparation, this weapon still brings some fear to them.

In their world, the Muggle army seemed to still be stuck in the era of horseback and slashing.

Even Sirius and the others only had an impression of Muggles from the First World War.

Who would have thought that just a few decades later, Muggles would master such a powerful weapon.

What if we give them a few decades or a hundred years?

You must know that a wizard's lifespan is two to three hundred years. For some elderly wizards, maybe a few years ago, Muggles were still riding horses and slashing. By the time they were middle-aged, Muggles had already popularized line guns. , when he was old, Muggles were already flying with artillery and missiles. When he reached the end of his life, what happened to Muggles?

Is it true, as Owen said, that at that time the Muggles began to build space elevators to the outer world and establish lunar bases on the moon?

"I always thought Owen was just joking." George suddenly became a little disappointed. "Now it seems that when the Muggles build the spaceship, the wizards may really still be fighting among themselves. Now we can't even understand the relationship between the country and the world. Even the Wizards United can’t do it.”

"Yes! The Muggles have progressed too fast. They have at least broken our Disillusionment Curse, haven't they?" Fred followed.

Harry, on the other hand, didn't say much.

He and Ron were busy rescuing Muggles who had fallen into the water.

They waved their magic wands, and the people in the water seemed to be riding on clouds, slowly floating up and landing on the boat.

Regarding the floating spell - because of the existence of a certain witch, they are quite skilled in using it.

Harry could even use a subtle summoning spell, which directly connected those who fell into the water in the distance.

"Thank you!"

"Oh! God! I thought I was going to die."

"Mother--"

They had probably seen more than a dozen people who had fallen into the water. As the sailboat went deeper, there were no cargo ships around.

Thinking about it, the wizards forcibly turned around the freighters that came after them and dispersed them.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, it's easy." Harry touched his head awkwardly.

He was surrounded by a large crowd.

Although most people were a little afraid of the legendary magic, they still had a conscience and did not say anything strange.

The languages ​​are different, English, Italian and Greek are mixed together. But Harry could still tell that they were expressing their gratitude to him, which made Harry really feel like a savior.

"You're Harry Potter!"

Suddenly, screams came from the crowd.

When Harry heard the sound, he saw a dark-haired woman in her early thirties.

She pushed through the crowd towards Harry.

"I've seen your picture. The picture of you and Mr. Lockhart has always been on my living room table."

"You are -" Harry looked curiously at this well-maintained woman. She was wearing an elegant and luxurious evening dress, and at first glance she was from the so-called upper class.
