After a furious attack, the giant finally ran out. Its eyes were full of irritability, and it kept whining on the ground.

Some of the Squib soldiers also came out of the smoke, set up their weapons, and aimed them at Hoffa, ready to strike him a fatal blow at any moment.

Hoffa was unmoved, he was waiting.

After a few whines, the grumpy giant raised the barrel of the tank again, and this time he swept it and threw it directly. Hoffa saw the opportunity to fly by and go straight around an arc.

Several soldiers who set up machine guns almost didn't curse, and before the machine guns were set up, they were hit by the barrels of the tanks with their guns, and they fell backwards in rows.

The soldier was wounded, and the giant rushed to Hoffa like a frenzy, raised the barrel of the cannon in his hand and smashed it down. It doesn't look like he understands the real purpose of this barrel.

Hoffa still didn't make a move, his body swaying back and forth on the ground like a drunk cramped. Dodge the giant's attacks again and again.

Rumble!!

I don't know if it was intentional or if it ran into some mechanism.

A cannonball suddenly erupted from the barrel of the cannon in the giant's hand and exploded on the ground.

The moment the shell exploded, Hoffa jumped high on one foot, hung upside down, and then clasped the edge of the barrel with his hand. A half-moon arc was drawn along with the giant's arm. Like a serpent, it stood on the arm of a giant.

When the giant saw that Hoffa was standing on his arm, his hungry eyes turned red, and he opened his bloody mouth and bit down on his arm. With the force of his feet, Hoffa jumped away before the giant could bite his arm, landing on the giant's shoulder. The giant's teeth gritted into the steel barrel, shattering a mouthful of teeth.

It wailed and shook its head frantically, and its arms frantically shook the barrel fixed in its hand, but the barrel was probably driven into the giant's bones with steel bars, and it couldn't shake it off.

Hoffa didn't make a move from start to finish, grabbing the disc earrings from the giant's ears and standing on its shoulders, letting the giant flick wildly. I don't know how long it took, but the giant finally stopped, panting and looking over its shoulder, grabbing Hoffa with its only intact hand.

Huo Fa crossed the cross sword and simply and rudely rested it on the giant's neck.

Compared with the giant's thick stature, Hoffa's sword was small, but the sharpness could not be faked, and just by touching it, the giant's neck cracked open.

Although the giant went crazy with hunger, in the face of death, it had to calm down, stretch out its hands, pant for breath, and did not dare to move.

"Have you seen enough?"

Standing on the giant's shoulders, Hoffa shouted at the Squib soldiers who were hiding around him.

The soldiers did not expect Hoffa to speak to them at such a time, and they cautiously poked their heads out of the smoke and looked at Hoffa with uneasy eyes. Those glances reminded Hoffa of a swarm of rats.

"Why did you betray your identity as a wizard? Why did you work for Muggles. Hoffa asked aloud as he stood on the giant's shoulder.

No one answered.

Until the smoke cleared slightly, someone shouted in an unknown place: "What do you know about the wizarding world, Bach? Some people have magic, some people don't, some people have purebloods, some people have to be mudbloods!

The cries of the shadows were answered.

A Squib soldier stood up and pointed at the giant's shoulder, Hoffa hissed and felt, "Where are we worse than you, why do you still have magic when your magic is lost, why is our magic gone?"

"Ignore him, the wizard's time is over!"

One of the soldiers exclaimed, "A new god has been born, you relics of the old aristocratic era should be swept into the dustbin of history, we don't need magic!"

Hoffa glanced at the heavy barrels on the giant's back, which were so deep in flesh that they ground out his spine.

"So what you are looking for is noble. ”

Hoffa looked at the foul-smelling wound and said lightly.

"We have firm beliefs and goals, we have abundant resources and strength, we stand on the right path of history, Hofabach! If you are willing to help us, we can build an ideal kingdom!"

The voice swirled around Hoffa, stinging his head, and once upon a time, perhaps for a moment, he had sympathized with such thoughts, and once upon a time, under the coercion of the gray-haired man in the dream, he briefly agreed to these absurd thoughts. However, what awaited him after that was a similar cycle. Now that he saw these believers again, he no longer had that trace of sympathy.

"That's right. ”

He said lightly: "I fight for mine, and you fight for yours." ”

The blade slashed down slightly, against the giant's artery.

"Kill them, and I'll release you. ”

The huge earthy yellow eyes stared at the boy on his shoulder, and the giant couldn't understand what he said, but there was something hidden in those black eyes, which hit the soul directly, and it was the most direct communication between living beings.

Whining

The giant lowered his palm.

Suddenly, it fell to the ground and aimed the barrel of the cannon in its hand at the soldier, and the barrel rumbled and spewed flames. Destroy the fortifications that the soldiers have secretly built in an instant.

The soldiers did not expect that Hofa had turned the giant against him in a few words, and now they did not dare to resist any longer, and they scattered and fled with their armor thrown away.

Artillery bombardment! The giant laughed.

After blowing up with the barrel, it even used the shells behind it to bombard the scattered and fleeing soldiers, and for a time the sound of explosions could be heard far and wide in the wilderness, and the tanks and armored vehicles were blown to scrap metal under the suppression of the giants' artillery fire.

Hoffa stood on the giant's shoulders, tugging at the giant's earrings, and the giant's body swayed slightly.

If it had been in the past, he might have felt uncomfortable because of such a cruel sight, but after the baptism of nightmares, he found that he did not care about these bloody scenes, and everything that he once did not like to see suddenly became acceptable.

Round after round of bombardment vented the giant's dissatisfaction, it did not know how many times it plowed the ground, and it did not know how many shells were fired. Until the smoke was swept away by the blast of the explosion, it finally got tired and sat on the ground panting.

With a flash of sword light, Hoffa slashed the heavy barrel on the giant's back, as well as the barrel embedded in his arm. As painful as it was, the giant couldn't help but dance when the heavy barrels landed on the ground.

It knelt beside Hoffa and poked her fingers at her, as if trying to get close to him, but Hoffa had no interest in communicating with the giant. He just walked towards Hogsmeade.

After a few steps, another group of people in the distance surrounded this side. The giant hurried behind the barrel and resisted the empty barrel again.

Hoffa also raised the cross sword in his hand, but when the men approached, he put the cross sword into his sheath and stood there in silence.

The first of them was Albus Dumbledore's brother Aberforth, who was still wearing his rough fur coat, with more bandages on his arms and several more wounds on his face than they had been when they had been separated.

However, he was very happy to see that Hoffa and the giant following behind, and after coming to Hoffa's side, Aberforth did not hesitate to hook Hoffa's shoulders and said kindly: "Look, Hogwarts top student, you are finally awake, you were groggy last time you came, and this time you are a big man." These traitors should be blown to smithereens!"

Hoffa was not accustomed to Aberforth's warmth, and he gave in slightly.

The others were not as calm as Aberforth, and the adult wizards were fine, but there were also a few young wizards in Aberforth's team, and they couldn't help but turn pale when they saw such a tragic scene.

"Captain Hofa."

Someone shouted softly.

Hoffa turned his head and saw that it was a young girl, wearing an old khaki school robe with a badger tattooed on it, and she was a Hufflepuff student. Beside her stood several students from other houses, all of whom looked at Hoffa in awe.

"Senior, did you kill all these people?" she asked.

"So what?" asked Hoffa lightly.

"Whew!"

The group of young wizards gasped and whispered.

"Shut up!!"

Aberforth hooked Hoffa's shoulder and scolded loudly: "What a bunch of spoiled rubbish by my brother, I haven't seen the market, I have learned a little, understand?

After speaking, he patted Hoffa's shoulder vigorously and said without hesitation: "The Squib soldiers who have been confronting us for a month have been killed by you in a few strokes. It's worthy of the light of Ravenclaw, and you still have a little bit of talent among the students in this class, and the other gangsters, really don't mention it. ”

Hoffa thought to himself that he was not even a tenth of his peak state now, and if time went back a year, he was afraid that these soldiers would not bother to do it at all. Now that he had to be praised for killing a few Squib soldiers, he only sighed that he had fallen to such a point.

He said noncommittally: "The giant blew up, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Aberforth didn't stop there, he still gushed: "Pudalore was captured by them, and we were about to rescue him, but I didn't expect you to rescue him directly." Hey, Pudalo, how did you become like this?"

The giant whined, grinning and pointing to the broken tooth in his mouth.

"Feed him something, even I want to eat, it seems that the squibs are not hungry for him. Hoffa glanced back at the giant and commanded.

Just when Hoffa took a look, the giant named Pudalo immediately covered his mouth and stopped screaming.

"Of course, let alone giants. You too. ”

Aberforth said, "These guys have been harassing Hogsmeade for a long time, and getting them away this time is a victory to celebrate." Bach, you're just in time, we're going to the pig's head bar and we're going to wash your dust. ”

Where did Hoffa have the heart to pick up the dust, the last time he left Hogwarts, Miranda and Sylby were together, and there was a nightmare god in Hogwarts.

He was worried about both Miranda's situation and the situation in Hogwarts, if the God of Nightmares was still inside, with his current level of strength, he was afraid that he would bring food to him if he rushed in.

"How's going on in the school, did you go in last time?"

Hoffa asked Aberforth.

"Nope. ”

Aberforth admitted: "The gates of the school have been completely sealed, and no one can enter. Even the secret passage was sealed, and we couldn't find a way to get in, so we had to settle down on Hogsmeade's side. However, this is also good news, there is not much magic in Hogwarts anymore, and the doors are broken. Now that the door is closed, the power of magic has reappeared. ”

Hoffa listened to Aberforth's words, but his heart was extremely uneasy.

He knew very well who was the one who sealed the doors of Hogwarts, what would happen to Miranda if he stayed with such a monster, and he was so close to Hogwarts, with such a low power, if the god of nightmares attacked him again, would he still be able to escape?
