Chapter 388: Aurors, Death Eaters, and Order of the Phoenix (2-in-1)
Unlike on the beach side, some of the urban areas near the beach have suffered more damage.
At this time, in front of more than a dozen Aurors, it was a street that had been blasted open by magic...... The street used to look a little hard to see, with broken walls and ruins everywhere, and a little blood stain that could be vaguely seen......
"They killed at least ten Muggles here. Kingsley Shacklele looked down and looked around carefully, then sighed and said.
"It's terrible!" Rufus-Scrimgeour seemed to be muttering to himself, looking at the ruins around him, "It's an uncomfortable feeling that we've seen so many traces of the Dark Arts raging again, after fifteen years. ”
Several of the older Aurors nodded in unison.
This blatant attack on the West Coast basically foreshadows one thing - that is, after the Battle of the Department of Mysteries Voldemort was exposed, the Death Eaters began to declare war on the Ministry of Magic and the wizarding world!
The Second Wizarding War has officially begun!
In the First Wizarding War more than a decade ago (before Voldemort was defeated by one-year-old Harry Potter), the Death Eaters were strong and the wizarding world was unprepared...... The Aurors suffered heavy casualties at the time, and for the older generation of Aurors, it was a memory they didn't want to recall.
And now, it seems that the flames of war are about to be ignited again! Although they are much more prepared than the previous time, and they have vaguely gained the upper hand, an inexplicable sadness still hovers in their hearts.
As for the younger Aurors, such as Nymphadora Tonks, there are no such frightening memories as those of the older generation......
At this moment, Tonks was vigilantly observing her surroundings, especially the sky, because she had been warned more than a dozen hours before.
When she noticed something strange in the distant sky, she hurriedly shouted, "Everyone...... On the other team's side, they seem to be in trouble!"
Trained enough, her warning didn't cause any panic, and all the Aurors quickly raised their heads vigilantly, grabbing their wands with their hands, and reacting quickly.
"We're afraid we don't have time to help them!" Rufus-Scrimgeour said in his deep, solemn voice, his eyes staring straight ahead, "because we seem to be in trouble ourselves!"
......
Yes, they did have trouble!
Directly in front of them, dark shadows appeared.
Then, the shadows gradually revealed their prototypes...... The wizards, at least thirty of them, all wearing cloaks and masks on their faces, hovered in mid-air, forming an inverted triangle formation......
"Morsmordre!"
Without warning, a voice suddenly cut through the momentary silence. The wizard at the end of the inverted triangle shot into the sky with his wand—
A huge, green, glittering phantom appeared in the sky.
It was a gigantic skeleton, made up of countless turquoise star-like things, and a large python emerged from the skeleton's mouth like a tongue.
As they watched, the skeleton rose higher and higher, glowing brightly in a cloud of green smoke, like a new constellation against the dark night sky.
"Death Eaters, everyone, get ready to fight!" Scrimgeour roared, his muscles tense like a lion hunting.
Without hesitation, Scrimgeour raised his wand and let out a roar:
"Praesidio!"
A blue glow emanated from the end of his wand...... The blue light formed an invisible wall between the Death Eaters and the Aurors.
Almost at the same time, dozens of colorful lights poured down from the sky—
Scrimgeour's protective spell only worked for half a second, causing the Death Eaters' attack spells to deviate slightly from each other...... Then, countless spells turned the entire abandoned street into complete ruins.
But this half second played a crucial role! All the Aurors reacted quickly, and they all used "phantom shifting" and turned into white lights, scattering in all directions...... Like a flowering in the center, the Death Eaters' spell rained down from the sky and did no harm to them.
Scrimgeour in the ruins got up and spat bloodshot.
Dark shadows appeared around him, blocking his path in all directions, their eyes glistening through the gaps in their hoods, dozens of shiny wands aimed in his direction.
......
The entire area, the Phantom Shifting Network has been shut down to them.
All the Aurors are aware of this!
This means two things...... The first is that the Death Eaters have been prepared for a long time, and the "West Coast Hurricane" event is actually a trap, and the second is that the high-level of the Department of Magical Transportation, especially the high-level of the Phantom Shifting Office, has been thoroughly infiltrated by the Death Eaters.
But for the well-trained Aurors, that doesn't mean they have to sit still—
"Stupefy!"
Scrimgeour let out a lion-like roar, and the red glow hit the nearest Death Eater accurately.
The Death Eater, with the black mask, almost fell to the ground.
Several streaks of green light erupted around him, and Scrimgeour bent over, rolled on the ground, and hid behind a wall...... The nearest killing curse was only two or three yards away, but thankfully he dodged it.
Ahead, however, several Death Eaters were approaching.
All around, the battle between the Aurors and the Death Eaters continues.
A white shadow with a hint of pink flew up to Scrimgeur...... She also returned a stun spell at the Death Eaters in front of her, helping Scrimgeour to defuse the temporary crisis.
"Thanks, Nymphadora!" Scrimgeois said gruffly, regaining his grip on his wand.
"Don't ...... Call me...... Nymphadora!" Tonks gasped and shouted, "Impediment!"
An invisible wall stood between them and the Death Eaters, helping them to separate them......
"Avada Kedavra!"
It wasn't the Death Eaters who cast the Killing Curse, but Scrimgeur, the head of the Law Enforcement Division at the Ministry of Magic...... A green light shot from the end of his wand, striking a Death Eater poking his head out on the other side of the wall.
The Death Eater's body fell off the wall like a kite with a broken string...... The mask fell to the ground, revealing a pale, lifeless, youthful face.
"Special case!" Turning around, Scrimgeour explained to Tonks very briefly, and then continued to grapple with his wand into battle.
......
Behind them, Gadwin Robaz was wrestling a Death Eater ten feet away, John Sevich was firing spells at several Death Eaters below halfway up a flight of steps, and Kingsley Shackle, was fighting three Death Eaters.
Even in a one-on-three setting, Kingsley's face showed no fear, and his hands did not occupy the slightest place below.
Kingsley's spell shattered the mask of one of the Death Eaters in the middle, revealing a fleshy, ferocious face inside—
"Yaxley. Kingsley said calmly: "I didn't expect you to hide so deeply!"
"Join me in your allegiance to the Dark Lord, Kingsley!" said Death Eater Jaxley a little frantically, "Also a member of the Pure-Blood Twenty-Eight Family, the Dark Lord will be very welcoming to you!"
"Stupid!" Kingsley snorted, and a stun spell flew past Yaxley's ear.
"Then you will die!"
Two black shadows, flying from the rear towards where Kingsley Shackel was...... This made him frown, because he could fall into a bad situation of a one-on-five at any time.
But—
One of the two black shadows, halfway through the flight, suddenly fell to the ground in embarrassment like a kite with a broken string.
Where he had been before, a scarred face appeared, with the feeling of old decaying wood......
"Kingsley, I hope we're not late!" Alasto-Moody, who was on crutches, suddenly appeared, his bright blue MAGIC Eye spun around in a large circle, and he shouted loudly.
"No, the time card is just ......right," a smile appeared on the corner of Kingsley's mouth:
"Stupefy!"
This time, the red light hit Yaxley's chest...... The Death Eater struggled a few times, then fell to the ground completely.
The other two Death Eaters didn't dare to fight, so they picked up the wounded Yaxley and quickly turned into black shadows and left......
......
Behind Mad Eye Moody, more and more witches and wizards appeared.
First was Remus Lupin, then Minerva McGonagall and Arthur Weasley, then Stoicie Podmore, Epheas Dorjee and Hesgar Jones......
A dozen members of the Order of the Phoenix appeared out of thin air, all with odd gadgets in their hands—some of them were broken shoes, some were old watches, and some were rusty bread knives......
These inconspicuous things are obviously makeshift door keys.
For the members of the Order of the Phoenix, they are not unprepared.
With the addition of these members of the Order of the Phoenix, the situation on the battlefield once again poured out—
The Death Eaters themselves, even when they were using the Unforgivable Curse on a large scale, were no match for the Aurors one-on-one...... With the absolute advantage in numbers, it gradually gained the upper hand.
But with the addition of a strong force on the Aurors, their only advantage is gone.
And since Yaxley had just been knocked unconscious by Kingsley, the leaderless Death Eaters began to flee one by one...... But apparently, not much of them escaped.
As Albus Dumbledore strode towards him, a large bright red bird flew beside him, glowing with gold all over his body, his somewhat strange elderberry wand held high above his head, his pale face full of anger.
One of the Death Eaters closest to him spotted him, shouting to inform the other Death Eaters. Then he ran away, climbing the stone steps opposite him like a monkey, but Dumbledore's spell easily dragged him back, as if he had been hooked with an invisible thread......
One Death Eater after another was pulled down from the sky by Dumbledore, and one by one they collapsed in front of Dumbledore, looking as if they were tied there by an invisible rope.
The battle was over in a very short time, and with the exception of the first few Death Eaters, no one escaped.
Dragging his injured body, Scrimgeour crawled up to Gadwin-Robaz in an attempt to wake him up...... He had just fallen under a strange spell during a battle with a Death Eater......
......
The war in the streets ended in a very short time.
The Death Eaters on the beach, as well as the Dark Lord himself, were clearly aware of this.
Voldemort looked up at the flickering golden light in the distance, his face frowning slightly.
"Let's go, Dumbledore is here!" he commanded coldly, then waved his hand, and the phantoms of the more than a dozen large snakes scattered in all directions dissipated slightly.
It wasn't that he was afraid of Dumbledore, but now that his body was not perfect, he really didn't have much capital to fight Dumbledore, and Dumbledore appeared so quickly, obviously he knew his plan, and this sudden ambush had to be said to be a bit of a failure.
Of course, it's not for nothing!
Voldemort's eyes scanned a group of employees of the Ministry of Magic and the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control who had been driven together by the Death Eaters.
"Master, what are these people going to do......" a Death Eater asked, prostrate at the Dark Lord's feet, respectfully.
"Take it all...... Bring it back for interrogation!" Voldemort coldly ordered.
One after another, black shadows began to fly back into the distance.
Voldemort's scarlet eyes, and finally scanned the beach until he stopped at the ruins of the beach resort—
......
Jon Hart was so scared that he didn't dare to come out......
Although I have considered this possibility in advance, I can still make people break out in a cold sweat when facing this danger.
Try to calm your emotions as much as possible, and close your brain as much as possible, so that Voldemort doesn't notice the possibility of hiding here.
A large green snake even crawled into the ruins of the beach resort, and just as Jon was in his throat, the distant explosion of a spell seemed to grab everyone's attention.
The serpent didn't climb far among the ruins of the beach resort before disappearing.
Apparently, it was their owners who took them back.
Voldemort and the Death Eaters seemed to be preparing to retreat as black shadows flew into the Irish Sea in the distance.
At the same time, the golden light on the other side is getting closer and closer.
Just when Jon felt like he was about to escape—
On the beach, Voldemort, who remained at the back, suddenly raised his purple shirt wand towards the ruins of the beach resort:
"Avada Kedavra!"
A grim voice echoed in Jon's ears.
