Chapter 706: Hurricane

In the heart of London, England, Hengelford Bridge spans the River Thames, and a long red train is passing on the bridge.

Black clouds overwhelmed the city in the sky, and the dark clouds rolled and condensed into a huge skull that was spitting out a snake, and three male witches wearing black wizard robes and silver skull masks suddenly appeared on the bridge. With their waving wands, the Hungerford Bridge began to vibrate violently.

At the same time, Penelope, dressed in the uniform of the H94 Aurors, with her umbrella team with an identity, that is, the wolf mother, Victor, the fat man, and the doctor, just surrounded the bridge, and they plunged the wand in their hands straight into the ground: "All spells are over." ”

Flashes of light flickered together, and the connected spells flew towards the Hungerford Bridge, which stopped trembling.

"There was an ambush. One of the Death Eaters shouted in terror as they tried to apparition away, only to find that they were still in place, as if their magic had failed.

"They set up an anti-phantom shapeshifting formation, and we couldn't leave. A light-blond-haired Death Eater shouted in fear, "Get out." ”

The Umbrella Aurors were already rapidly approaching the Death Eaters.

"Disarm or kill. Penelope's bright red lips spat out this sentence casually, and without giving the other party a chance to respond, a spell that emitted a strange light flew out from the tip of her wand - obviously, she just asked this casually because of the rules, and she didn't even think about whether the other party really wanted to surrender.

The mask on the face of one of Penelope's short Death Eaters was torn apart and fell to the ground, his mouth wide open, his eyes wide open with fear, his internal organs squirting out of his gaping mouth, even squeezing out of his nostrils, turning into blood-red filth shards that splattered to the ground.

The Death Eaters, who could not apparition, saw each other's cruelty and knew that there was no way back, so they desperately waved their wands and began to cast the Unforgivable Spell to the death.

But the battle came and ended faster, except for the Death Eater who died first at Penelope's hands and the unlucky ghost who was cut off by the doctor with the knife she called the scalpel, and only the wolf mother used the spell of the vampire's reserve to touch one of the legs of the third Death Eater with her hand and suck it into a dried corpse, and the Death Eater fell to the ground and was successfully captured alive.

And Penelope was able to appear here in such a timely manner, naturally because of the warning from Allen, Allen knew that the Death Eaters would be crazy about attacking London's landmarks this summer, so he informed Albert early, and Albert arranged for the Aurors to be on duty in various locations in the wizarding world, and arranged for the Aurors to work overtime during this time, stationed at various well-known landmarks in London, especially those bridges over the Thames.

And today, like Penelope and the others who were arranged to ambush at Hungerford Bridge, there were several groups of people who waited for the Death Eaters who came to sabotage the attack, and they first set up an anti-phantom shapeshifting array to make it impossible for them to escape, and then wiped out these Death Eaters.

Therefore, although these battles were inevitably seen by Muggles and required the use of the Oblivion Charm, with the help of the Magical Accidents and Disasters Division's Reversal of Contingency Teams, there were no major problems, and it was not a big effort for wizards to repair these Muggle buildings that did not have magical powers, at least in the city of London, the Death Eaters' terrorist attempts to cause heavy casualties ended in failure.

In Lancashire, northwest England, a wizard who looked a little like a python-headed wizard obtained information about other accomplices and the orders of his master from the note in the hands of the Death Eater who had just apparitioned, and after a quick glance, the corner of the note began to burn, he shook his hand, and most of the burning note fell to his feet and turned into ashes: "Stupid waste, the action is stopped again, the master must be angry." He said in a thunderous manner, and beside him a wavy golden-haired wizard turned pale and cringed.

"Their attack in London failed, and we must succeed here. Rabastan? Lestrange drew his wand, "Let's give these Muggles a gift." ”

"Have they been captured by the Aurors?" Gilderoy Lockhart looked even more awkward, his eyes rolling in panic, looking around nervously for fear of the Aurors suddenly appearing and arresting themβ€”he obviously didn't think the Aurors would believe that he had been coerced.

"What are you afraid of? When they come, we'll go somewhere else to release the hurricane. They can't catch up with us, and we don't act like fools who attack places that are easy to trap. "Rabastan?" Lestrange laughed like his brother. Ever since taking his brother's place, he has unconsciously mimicked some of Rodolphus Lestrange's previous actions and language, as if he could be as strong as his brother had been.

"Get moving. Tiny wisps of rain converged at the tip of his wand and were launched into the sky, and the Death Eaters of his team scattered and used the same spell, except that Gilderoy Lockhart had an accident when he cast the spell, but his spell level returned to normal after being punished.

Finally, in what seemed like a lengthy repetition of group ritual magic, the sky outside Lancaster, Lancashire, was drawn by the Death Eaters with more and more dark clouds, the wind blew stronger, and in the howling wind, a sudden hurricane without warning began to sweep through the city where the famous Pendle witches had been tried in 1612 - although the 19 "accused" of witchcraft were not even Squib Muggle relatives of wizards.

In the town, the roofs of small Muggle buildings were completely destroyed, the roofs of the houses that were crumpled into pieces were swept away by the hurricane, and the Muggles who were injured by the shards carried by the wind screamed in terror and fled. The previously unflooded highlands have also been submerged, and the lowlands of the town have become water towns as far as the eye can see, and desperate residents who have not had time to escape are trapped in their flooded homes desperately waiting for rescue.

After receiving a report from a local wizard in Lancashire, the Aurors who noticed the anomaly also came here with a phantasmaged appearance, but what they saw was Rabastan Lestrange laughed and fired an Arvada Death Curse at them, and then left with the rest of the Death Eaters after seeing Gildero Lockhart who had fled on the Aurors with the illusion of the Auror, and in these places where it was impossible to set up the Apparition Shifting Circle in advance, it was impossible to stop the Death Eaters who wanted to run from teleporting, and they managed to escape the Aurors.

Seeing this, the Aurors hurriedly unleashed the Ten Thousand Curses Spell into the storm that was still gathering and raging in the sky to try to counteract it, but unfortunately there was no way to undo the damage that had been done.

Targeted attacks in central London, such as Hungerford Bridge, could be prepared in advance, but the Death Eaters chose to attack Muggles at random, and the Aurors were somewhat powerless. Such destruction can be carried out in any location, so there is no way for the Aurors to squat in advance.

A few days after the Death Eater attack, the British Ministry of Magic.

Cornelius Fudge, the senior undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic, who was visibly thinner than before, had a darker complexion, had a more bald head, and a wrinkled face, looking very bad. Although he hadn't completely lost power, it didn't feel good to fall from the top position in the Ministry of Magic.

Fudge, who looked much older, walked down the hallway full of paper airplanes and walked inwardly to his former office. He had walked this road many times, but unfortunately this office no longer belonged to him. Calming down his thoughts, he raised his hand to knock on the door, but before he could touch it, the door had already opened by itself, and Owen Harris walked out of the door, seeing Fudge slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Connelly, I'm sorry, you have to wait for me for the warning of the International Federation of Wizards in the morning." ”
