Chapter 542 Action failed?
Chapter 542 Action failed?
Aberforth's current situation can no longer be simply described as miserable.
The Patronus Charm is a defensive technique against Dementors and Voldemort Bats. It is actually very difficult to use its positive energy magic to break the illusion constructed by black magic.
Even though Aberforth himself was very powerful, it took a lot of magic power and time to do this.
The consequence of this is that after he cast the Patronus Charm, he could no longer cast other defensive spells in a short period of time.
With no means of defense, he was attacked by a burst of fire from the Death Eaters who reacted, and was almost beaten into a sieve by the dense magic barrage.
Although various controlling spells are not known for their lethality, it depends on the quantity and the magic level of the person who casts the spell.
After all, who says you can't kill someone without a gun?
Aberforth was almost stabbed to death by a wave of headless wooden spears.
Looking at Aberforth not far away who was covered in blood, even half of his ear had been cut off, and was almost in a state of death, Link nodded.
Newland and Skeffen understood immediately.
The two of them rushed into the Death Eaters' fire net, one on the left and the other on the right. As the wand danced, two layers of protective shields, one gray and one white, instantly enveloped Aberforth and the two of them.
Not only them, Cedric and others also quickly got down and carefully put several layers of armor protection spells on themselves and others.
This scene allowed the Death Eaters who were originally afraid of being killed by Link to regain their confidence.
They felt that Link and others were intimidated by the large army they were in, so they raised their wands again and prepared to attack.
Unfortunately, they were wrong.
"Shen Feng - Wuying!"
Along with the chanting, Link made a charging gesture with his wand, and then swung it violently.
hum!
The air roared violently.
A huge and unparalleled circular blade spread out with Link as the center. Cedric, Newland and others who were close to Link were the first to bear the brunt.
Although Link had deliberately reduced the intensity of the blades heading towards them, and even asked them to cast protective shields in advance.
But in the face of such a terrifying blade, the shield they deployed with all their strength was as fragile as a piece of paper, and was chopped into pieces almost instantly.
The blade that penetrated the shield cut several scars on their bodies before finally dissipating.
This kind of injury is considered serious for members of the DA Army.
But at this moment, they just took out the magic potion to heal their wounds, and couldn't even utter a word of complaint.
Because the experiences of those Death Eaters were countless times more miserable than them!
The Death Eaters blocking Link and others at the front only saw the air twisting for a while, and then they were directly cut into balls of blood mist by the violent blades!
At this point, nearly half of the dozens of Death Eaters who appeared in the Hall of Memory have died at the hands of Link.
The remaining Death Eaters were completely terrified.
One by one, they turned into black smoke and flew towards the hidden passage they came from. No matter how much Lucius and Bellatrix shouted, it was of no avail.
Link didn't seem to care about this.
He just pointed a finger, and the DA troops behind him roared and charged towards the dispersed Death Eaters.
Link himself stretched out his hand towards Aberforth expressionlessly:
"Give me Harry Potter and Voldemort's Prophecy Ball."
Hearing that Aberforth, who was about to lose consciousness due to excessive blood loss, suddenly had a look in his eyes.
"It seems that you should know what this is, so you are here to snatch it too?" Aberforth gasped and sneered at Link, "Give up, I won't let you succeed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Aberforth was already struggling to lift the prophecy ball and was about to smash it to the ground.
Destroying the prophecy ball before his death was something he had planned for a long time.
He would not let this important prophecy ball fall into the hands of unknown people.
Rather than letting Voldemort succeed, he might as well destroy the prophecy ball!
After all, this is a major event related to the survival of the entire magic world in the country!
hum-
Another invisible blade passed by, and Aberforth's arm fell down, along with the prophecy ball he was holding in his hand.
Aberforth looked at his broken arm that was spurting blood in disbelief.
Newland and Sigrifen had already caught the prophecy ball and handed it to Link with respectful hands. At the same time, they also gave Aberforth a fainting blow.
Link nodded and said:
"Help him attach his arm."
Hearing this, Nulan raised his head in confusion.
In his opinion, the guy who wanted to destroy the prophecy ball was no longer with them.
But the enemy!
Help the enemy's broken arm?
This is outrageous!
But since Link, as the boss, had spoken, Newland did not dare to object.
He turned around, picked up the severed arm from the ground, and walked towards Aberforth.
Taking over for Aberforth was not a difficult task for him.
Because he had already learned the counter-curse of the Divine Edge Shadowless Curse.
At this time, Link, who had obtained the prophecy ball, also set his sights on the battlefield of DA Army members not far away.
It's said to be a battlefield, but actually it's more like a joke.
Link originally thought that it would be enough for him to deliberately leave a group of defeated soldiers who had lost their will to fight for the DA army to practice.
But it turns out that Link still overestimated the combat capabilities of this group of DA troops.
Currently, there are only a few Death Eaters, including Bellatrix and Lucius, who are actually still fighting against the DA army.
The rest of the Death Eaters were still running away.
But even so, those few people blocked the attack of dozens of DA troops.
Even the death curses Bellatrix shot from time to time would penetrate the entire fire protection network of the DA army.
If it weren't for the existence of Cedric, John and Emily, Bellatrix and others would probably be able to kill several people in one encounter.
As for student armies like the DA Army, once there are casualties, it is only a matter of time before they are defeated.
"What a bunch of trash."
Link shook his head and said with great disappointment.
After hearing this, Si Gefen, who was standing by the side, gritted his teeth, turned around, and drew out the long sword from behind to join the battle, fighting for the DA army in front of Link.
But at this moment, the light in the entire memory hall suddenly flickered.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of Aurors, led by Scrimgeour, appeared in an extremely strange way on the only way for the Death Eaters to escape!
"Form up and fire!"
Scrimgeour, standing at the front of the team, said coldly.
After saying this, the Aurors behind him raised their wands in unison.
Compared with the previous attacks by the Death Eaters, the Aurors' attacks were like art.
Valley Hundreds of dazzling white lights first lit up from the tips of the Aurors' staffs, and then rushed towards the Death Eaters in front of them almost at the same time.
Such a high degree of coordination resulted in the Aurors' attacks no longer being the sparse firepower network of the Death Eaters or the previous DA army, but more like a complete screen of light.
Faced with such an attack, the Death Eaters within the attack range had no room to dodge at all.
In fact, even if they learned the tactics of the Aurors and worked together as a team to cast a combination of defensive spells, it would be useless.
Because as soon as the defensive spells they cast took shape, they would be smashed into pieces by those highly overlapping barrages of magic spells!
boom--
A huge light curtain pushed across an entire Death Eater position.
Everywhere you go, it's a mess!
There were splintered wooden shelves everywhere and the dregs of shattered glass spheres.
But the strange thing is that there are very few Death Eaters who actually died in this attack.
Most of the Death Eaters were simply shot through with wands and corpses, lying in the rubble wailing incessantly.
"Well done! Everyone moves forward! Control all the Death Eaters who have lost the ability to fight!"
A staff officer next to Scrimgeour shouted excitedly.
Hearing this, the Aurors took neat steps and began to move forward bit by bit at a moderate speed.
The wailing Death Eaters along the way were knocked unconscious and tied up one after another. As for the remaining fish that escaped the net, they were forced to retreat in the direction from which they came.
However, that direction is the battlefield of the DA troops.
Although the actual combat effectiveness of the DA army is simply terrible, what they represent is Link!
The brutal killing that the devil had done when he first appeared on the scene had already scared all the Death Eaters!
As a result, the somewhat desperate Death Eaters stopped.
They threw away their wands and walked towards the Aurors with their hands raised.
They surrendered!
This move was quickly echoed by the other Death Eaters.
After a short while, except for Bellatrix and other die-hard Death Eaters, almost all the Death Eaters knelt down in front of Scrimgeour and accepted the control of the Aurors.
On the other hand, the DA army did not have any prisoners.
This is actually very easy to understand.
After all, it can be seen from the very beginning of the battle.
As a regular army, the Auror force actually has control and capture as its main combat purposes.
But Link is different.
The remaining severed limbs and blood on the ground are telling the remaining Death Eaters that falling into the hands of the DA Army or Link Foley will definitely lead to death!
Soon, the last batch of surrendered Death Eaters were also brought under control.
The DA army also withdrew from the battle with Bellatrix and others, and the Aurors took over.
The students who walked down from the battlefield tremblingly looked at the devastated memory hall in front of them and the Death Eaters who were tied into twists, and they cheered excitedly.
They all feel that they have won this war.
The Aurors on the periphery also participated in the celebrations of the DA troops.
They patted the students on the shoulders one by one, praised the students for their bravery, and encouraged them to become Aurors after graduation.
The Auror force lacks talents like you!
These highly repetitive scenes stimulated the unexperienced students, all of them blushed and wished they could graduate from Hogwarts right now.
However, unlike the joy of ordinary Aurors and members of the DA Army, the commanders such as Scrimgeour and Cedric had a gloomy look on their faces.
Because the goal of their operation this time was to kill Voldemort.
The early stage of the operation also developed smoothly, but unfortunately, Voldemort did not appear from the beginning to the end.
This is a bit embarrassing.
"Stop being so straight-faced." John tried to console him with a smile, "Even if we fail to achieve the ultimate goal, at least we have controlled all the Death Eaters. Now Voldemort is a polished commander!"
Hearing this, Cedric glanced at John and said nothing, but his face became more sad.
This time they had indeed eliminated almost all of Voldemort's known Death Eaters.
But this actually doesn't mean much.
Because there has never been a shortage of dark wizards in the magical world.
And as long as Voldemort still exists, as long as he waves his hand, countless dark wizards will be willing to surrender.
Although the Death Eaters recruited in this way were completely rabble-rous, their combat abilities and overall qualities were not as good as his original elite Death Eater force that was born out of various pure-blood families.
But it is also a force that can be used.
Given enough time, they can always come back.
"Who said our operation failed?"
Link's sudden words made Cedric and others stunned.
I saw Link holding the prophecy ball in his hand, and walked out surrounded by Newland and Skeffen:
"Voldemort will show up, he can't escape."
"Oh? You think so?" Scrimgeour also walked out of the Auror troop and stared at Link expressionlessly, "So, why can you say such a thing? Link Foley, The current head of the Foley family!"
Scrimgeour's eyes contained deep murderous intent, and were bone-chillingly cold.
He had already determined that the previous generation of Auror troops had been destroyed at the hands of Link.
All the partners and subordinates who had been with him day and night were all killed because of the machinations of the man in front of him.
This gave Scrimgeour the urge to immediately order Link to be captured and thrown into Azkaban!
"Scrimgeour! Watch your tone!"
At this moment, Old Barty suddenly stood up and said to Scrimgeour with a cold face.
Not only Old Barty, but Percy also came out from behind Link and sneered:
"Yes, Scrimgeour, you'd better be more respectful to Mr. Foley. You know, the funding for your Auror force this year has not been approved yet!"
As soon as he said this, Scrimgeour and all the Aurors all turned ugly.
Just like the ancient emperors used food and grass to restrict the generals leading the army from rebellion, the Ministry of Magic actually has similar restraint methods for the Auror troops.
The only difference is that the food and grass in the past have become the funds now.
The reason why Aurors join the Auror Army is not to save the magical world or to fulfill some lofty ideal.
Although Aurors with this kind of ideological consciousness also exist, the vast majority of Aurors are actually just for the super high salary of the Auror army.
If funding is cut, the Auror force will fall apart in an instant.
Of course, Scrimgeour can also choose to rebel directly by flipping the table.
But in the current situation where old Barty and Percy are obviously on guard, can he really succeed?
This group of politicians can't do anything else, but their methods of dividing and sowing dissension are superb!
What's more, old Barty and Percy seemed to be too close to Link Foley!
