Chapter 1201: Diagon Alley Defense
I don't know when the number of mad wizards on the streets of London has become more and more numerous.
And what is even more surprising is that these crazy people who are cruel to others and even more ruthless to themselves are actually transformed in batches!
"Retreat, keep retreating—our cover, Sirius, you and your men retreat into the Leaky Cauldron at once! Remember to reinforce the walls as soon as you get inside, and when we retreat, you cast a protective charm! ”
Now that they were suddenly on both sides, they could no longer fight on their own in this empty street.
Especially the new group of crazy wizards, led by not only the extremely strong spell, but also the rampaging itself as if it was not going to die. Every member of their side is precious, and it is impossible to go up and exchange their lives for their lives, and in this case, they must have a defensive environment to rely on.
"I see, then be careful—"
Sirius followed the contraction of Kingsley's team and retreated step by step, and retreated into the bar door with his team of Dark Wizard Strikers in a clear order.
But obviously, with nearly half of the combat power to support it at this time, Kingsley's Auror team naturally became much more difficult.
But it can't be helped, the Leaky Cauldron Bar that has not been reinforced, is just an ordinary storefront that is slightly more solid than other Muggle buildings. Although there were also spells that had been solidified in the past, they were mainly used to hide and confuse Muggles, and they obviously couldn't stop the destructive bombardment of spells.
And at this moment, Kingsley's low-key but extraordinary personal strength is reflected.
I saw that he, as the head of the Auror office, personally resisted in front of him, and blocked the mad wizard with continuous spells more than 50 feet away. Even if the opponent moves quickly and uses both hands and feet, he can't break through his resistance for a while.
Without the biggest threat among the attackers, his squad's defensive pressure was still high, but it could barely carry it for a short while.
But let's be honest, Kingsley is actually glad right now.
For he found that although most of those madmen were not afraid of death and were agile in size, they were much less intelligent in battle than before.
He realized that as long as the other party was not allowed a moment to spare, even if it was just to hinder the other party with the most ordinary fire spell, then their side would be safe for the time being.
It wasn't long before they finally heard Sirius' shout behind them:
"That's it! Kingsley! ”
"Continue to shrink the defensive circle and retreat in turn!"
Kingsley gave the order without looking back.
At this moment, some strikers sent by Sirius appeared at the window on the second floor of the Leaky Cauldron, sharing the firepower of blocking the opponent's impact for them.
After all the Aurors retreated into the Leaky Cauldron, there were no more people of their own, and Kingsley, who was standing alone at the door, was the last to retreat inside the door.
By this time, the enemy dark wizards outside were very close to the door of the bar, and it was estimated that they were only about 15 feet away at most.
But Kingsley didn't panic in the slightest, and suddenly he took out a potion bottle from the pocket on the inside of his robe, and slammed the potion bottle on the road outside the door with a "bang" while Sirius hadn't yet put up the protective charm.
Suddenly, a dazzling blue-white flame spread out, illuminating the vicinity as if it were day.
Immediately afterward, more than a dozen members of Sirius's group cast a protective charm at the same time, using a magical shield to separate the outside of the Cauldron from the outside.
Sirius next to him half-raised the wand in his hand, and looked at the few dark wizards outside who were contaminated with that strange flame that seemed to be liquid, rolling around but unable to extinguish it, and couldn't help but shake his head with some emotion.
"That's what you need?" He asked Kingsley.
"yes!" Kingsley shrugged and said, "This thing Maca gave us a long time ago, but we haven't had a chance to use it...... Now it seems that the effect is indeed amazing! ”
As he spoke, a wind-like figure rushed from the periphery of the flames, as if he was unaware of it, even though his body was soon covered with bright blue flames.
Needless to say, this is the mad wizard who was held back by Kingsley for a while.
However, just as Kingsley and Sirius cautiously raised their wands, ready to strike. But they saw that the creature seemed to be unable to endure the burning any longer, and sprang out of the area where the flames spread at a faster speed than when he came.
"Doesn't seem to have gone too crazy yet?"
I have to say that Sirius's words are still early. After a few seconds, they saw that the mad wizard had once again rushed into the flames, slamming towards the doorway.
And this time, the effect of the flame of the Mighty Fire Bottle on him was inexplicably reduced a lot, even if it was still a little contaminated, it could no longer cause a lot of damage to him.
"Bang!"
The last ten feet of distance was crossed by the other party in one step, and then there was a shock from the impact of the magic shield.
Seeing that the protective spell cast by the efforts of more than a dozen people finally had an effect, even Kingsley and Sirius couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Of course, they didn't reassure themselves too early this time, and continued to observe for a while, and then they believed that the other party would not be able to break through this defense for a while.
The remaining players of the two teams immediately rested on the spot and divided into three groups to rotate to support the protective charm! But still be careful, even if you are resting, you must not relax! ”
After all the arrangements were made for the Aurors and the strikers, Kingsley and Sirius, who had contributed the most, also had some time to recuperate.
But at the same time, they didn't forget to keep an eye on the door, wary of the madman who was still outside with the protective charm.
From them, it can be seen that although the other party has temporarily gotten rid of the trouble of that bright blue flame, the previous burning has also left serious injuries on the other party's body.
Because Maca's vial doesn't cause damage to things that don't have magical powers, the other person's clothes are still intact. However, the other party's skin has shrunk into a terrible appearance, which is difficult to look at.
"Tsk," Sirius said, frowning and smacking his lips, "looking at him suddenly reminds me of some bad memories. ”
When Kingsley heard this, he couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then seemed to say a little clearly:
"What do you mean...... Does he look like a Dementor now? ”
"What else could it be!" Sirius pouted, "I hate Dementors. ”
Hearing him say this, Kingsley suddenly smiled, and then spread his hands and said:
"At least, you won't go back in the future!"
For Sirius, the time he spent in Azkaban was definitely the worst time of his life.
Not only do I have to be with Dementors every day, but I also have the guilt of dying my friend and wife repeating in my mind. That feeling is even worse than death in the heart of someone like Sirius.
Compared to that, although this time is by no means easy, he finally has Harry's godson as a spiritual sustenance. In order to create a safer future for Harry and them in place of Jaime, he was willing to fight with all his might.
After resting against the wall for a while, Sirius suddenly straightened up again and said to Kingsley:
"Now there's a big flame outside, and it's dazzling to just stare at it for a while...... You stay here, and I'll go upstairs and see what's going on on the periphery. ”
With that, he waved his hand without looking back, and went straight to the stairs.
Seeing this, Kingsley had to shake his head - Sirius is a loner, sometimes like this, often running to do things according to his own ideas.
But it must be said that this man's ability is undoubtedly outstanding, and what he chooses to do is often not meaningless.
Raising his hand and habitually touching his bald head, Kingsley put the unorganized and undisciplined Sirius aside for the time being, and couldn't help but look at the situation outside and remember something else.
"I don't know what those pure-blood families will do after tonight," he said to himself, pondering, "I hope that Maca's previous warnings will at least keep them in place for a little longer." In the current situation, I'm afraid I can't afford them to make trouble again......"
Of course, Kingsley actually understands it. Maybe before today, those purebloods were still more or less hidden to stand on Helbo's side, but now they are afraid that they would not dare to do that.
After all, if nothing else, just looking at the scene outside, they have to weigh whether their value can make Helmo look at it differently.
Don't you see these dark wizards who have fallen into madness? That's an apprentice that someone else has taken, and what has become of them now?
In Helbo's heart, I am afraid that there has never been the concept of "his own person", everything is just a bargaining chip waiting for the game in his hands!
Just as Kingsley was pondering for a moment, Sirius, who had just gone upstairs, suddenly ran down the stairs again, and said loudly to him from a distance:
"Kingsley, Aberforth is outside!"
"What?"
Kingsley pushed aside his thoughts, raised his head and squinted his eyes beyond the bright flames. And as he gazed out into the street through the gap in the flames, it didn't take long for a figure to be fighting with the dark wizards on the periphery.
But as Sirius had said before, it was hard to see here, and he could only make out that it was a rather tall bearded wizard.
"Let's get him away from here first, and find a relatively safe place to take shelter - when the flames at the door are extinguished, we'll see if we can let him in!"
