"What the hell are they waiting for?" Penelope asked as he watched the group of wizards and golems standing motionless in a phalanx. As soon as her words fell, the people below suddenly moved. However, instead of charging Hogsmeade, the group parted neatly to reveal a path into the middle of the woods.

"I guess Voldemort is coming. Ryan leaned into Hermione's ear and whispered. "Look at the pomp, tsk. ”

Voldemort really didn't make everyone wait for a long time, or he didn't dare to waste time at this time. Just as the golems and Death Eaters got out of the way, a Voldemort in a black robe, with miserable white skin and a flattened snake-like face, stepped out. After his appearance, it was as if everyone in Hogsmeade had been pressed the mute button. Even coughing and breathing were kept to a minimum.

"Looks like you're going to resist. After scanning the men standing on the walls with snake-like eyes, a high-pitched, cold, clear voice came from Voldemort's position, as if it had been immersed in ice water for thousands of years. But Ryan didn't notice that he opened his mouth, presumably Voldemort used some magic to achieve intimidation.

I have to say that this magic did have the desired effect, because when Voldemort's voice sounded, many people in Hogsmeade began to tremble in their legs and feet, and their faces also showed a look of fear. Even Ryan heard someone nearby whose teeth began to chatter,

"Your efforts are useless. You are no match for me. I don't want to kill you. I have a lot of respect for Hogsmeade, the only town in England that belongs to wizards, and I don't want to bleed wizards. Voldemort's voice echoed over Hogsmeade, and everyone listened silently to his speech.

"I'm going to Hogwarts today to find Harry Potter," Voldemort's voice said, "and none of you will be hurt." As long as you don't stop this army of mine. And if you are willing to cooperate with me, you will be rewarded. ”

With that, Voldemort and his entire army began to walk towards Hogwarts Castle. Standing on the walls of Hogsmeade, the man held his wand tightly in his hand and watched the mighty army in silence.

"Did Voldemort bring so many people just to kill Harry?" Hermione's eyes widened, and she sent a message with the Phoenix brand. "Why did he do this, it's clear that most of our side's war potential is concentrated in Hogsmeade, even if they just burn the bank, it would be a major blow to us. With that, Hermione looked at the pandaren brothers who were standing with the reserves, dressed in armor and wearing a spellcasting ring and claw sleeve on their arms.

"Don't forget which prophecy about Harry. Ryan explained, "Now that Voldemort only has the power of one blow, it is natural that he will kill Harry as his first goal. Because the prophecy had said that Harry was the savior, as long as he was killed, Voldemort would have a real victory. ”

"Believe in the prophecy?" Hermione snorted disdainfully, she had always thought that prophecy was just a trick to deceive people. Especially Trelawney's work.

"Whether you think this prophecy is true or false, the core is that Voldemort himself believes it. Ryan gave a strange expression, for he also felt that entrusting his fate to an allegory was too negative.

Just as Ryan and Hermione were talking through the Phoenix Brand, Ryan noticed out of the corner of his eye that Sirius seemed to be unable to resist the impulse in his heart, and slowly raised the arm holding the wand.

"Wait, it's not the right time. Ryan slammed down Sirius' right hand, which was about to raise his wand. "The magic I prepared is not yet ready to be released. And if you look at everyone around you, it's not a good time to fight. ”

Sirius put down the wand he was about to raise and looked around, and sure enough, many of the people standing on the wall, especially the volunteers, looked demoralized now, and some of them didn't even dare to look up at Voldemort below.

"Can you use the power of your Rose Mother to destroy those golems?" Hermione asked, leaning over and lowering her voice. "I remember that the magic you unleashed with the Lady of the Rose was enough to kill these magical creations, and it would be much easier to fight if you took out the thousands of golems. ”

"It's not that simple. Ryan also whispered to Hermione, "Actually, I tested it when the first obsidian golem wolf appeared, but Voldemort should have known that I could destroy those magic items when Harry was transferred before, so now these golems have special magical defenses." Even with the help of the Rose Lady, I can only dismantle them one by one, and it is impossible to destroy all the puppets at once like I did with the flying broomstick before. ”

"How did Voldemort do that, I don't think he's better at alchemy than you. Hermione frowned slightly, but soon she came to her senses. "Damn! is the collection of pure-blood wizard families. ”

After staying with Ryan for such a long time, Hermione naturally learned a lot about alchemy. Therefore, she knows that the gap in technology is not unbridgeable, as long as you are willing to invest enough good raw materials, even if your skills are generally good, you can make extraordinarily powerful magic items.

Just like some ancient magic props that have been handed down to this day, in fact, due to their age, the technology contained in these props is very simple compared to the modern magic prop making technology that has developed for hundreds of years, but because the materials used in these props are so good, they are still very powerful magic props overall.

Ryan also collected a lot of antique props left over from the past, and these conclusions were all the experience he gained when he studied these magic props, of course, many of the magic props that were studied were directly dismantled by Ryan and recycled as precious materials.

"So what do we do now?" asked Hermione in a low voice, "We can't just watch these guys attack Hogwarts Castle, where our classmates and professors live." ”

"Don't forget the legions we have in the Black Lagoon, they will deal a terrible blow to Voldemort's army. Ryan stared at Voldemort and said to Hermione, and at this time Voldemort also stopped and looked up at Ryan.

As they looked at each other, the two men clenched their wands at the same time. However, because both of them had scruples, they just glared at each other angrily, and did not take the initiative to take action.

After staring at each other for a while, Voldemort's large army also marched around Hogsmeade towards Hogwarts Castle. As for himself, after watching more than 2/3 of the people leave the town, he also flicked his black robe and walked towards the front of the line, and behind him, Nagini, who was protected by a powerful magic in the middle, also floated over.

"We can't just look at it like that. Sirius said impatiently, he found that it was only some of the remaining Ministry of Magic personnel and civilians who volunteered to guard the walls, and the wizards who had participated in the battle under Ryan and Lupin were only initially shocked, and in a few seconds they had almost regained all their fighting spirit. "Something should be done now. ”

"You're right. To Sirius's surprise, Ryan, who had not reacted just now, nodded in agreement, and then raised his wand to draw a somewhat complicated rune in the air. "Now is the time to get started. ”

As soon as the words fell, a black and oppressive thing suddenly jumped out of the black lake and rushed towards the Voldemort legion, which was now marching in a long serpentine shape, directly splitting the Voldemort legion that had relaxed its vigilance in half.
