The first to fight the Death Eaters was Peeves.

Due to the EPM bombs dropped by the British Air Force, the protective magic of the secret passage under the pig's head bar has also been greatly affected.

A group of Death Eaters walked into the secret passage, cracking protective magic as they walked in the direction of Hogwarts.

By the time they reached about 1/4 of the way to the secret passage, Peeves, who had been notified by the other ghosts, had been waiting here for a while.

In the newly built secret room next to the secret passage, Peeves opened the valves on the jars, and the gas in the jars entered the secret passages through copper pipes.

When the last sand fell from the hourglass on the wall of the chamber, Peeves slammed the knife shut and slid into the ground without looking back.

In the secret passages of Duke Honey's candy shop, another team of Death Eaters awaits him.

The Death Eaters in the two tunnels were hot for a moment at an unprecedented temperature, and then completely cooled.

At the exit of Hogsmeade Station, a group of Death Eaters arrived at the place where the freshmen had boarded the ship in previous years.

Rough wooden boats were lowered into the water by the Death Eaters, who would transport them to the lakeside snow gardens at Hogwarts on the other side of the lake.

In the Ice Garden on the Hogwarts side, where the Death Eaters are about to land, Yuri snorts the vodka in a bottle.

Not long after, a huge tentacle suddenly rose from the water. Before the Death Eaters could react, a wooden boat and the Death Eaters on board were encircled into the bottom of the lake by tentacles.

Immediately after that, several tentacles repeated the action at the same time, and the sunken wooden ship quickly turned into a floating piece of wood on the water, and none of the Death Eaters who sank into the water resurfaced.

Under Yuri's control, the squid in the lake constantly attacks the wooden boats on the lake, either rolling them into the water or overturning them.

Eventually, the Death Eaters on the lake had to gather the boats together and use various methods to connect the wooden boats.

Yuri, who had reached his goal, told the squid to take a break under the water first, and then made an offensive gesture to the wizards around him.

Natasha and several wizards from the British government army on the side were ready.

The Death Eaters on the water found that the wizards on the shore had a much longer range than they did. Your own spells can't hit the wizards on the shore, but those wizards can easily shoot themselves in a ball of water with their spells.

Faced with a dilemma, the Death Eaters had no choice but to turn around and land somewhere else.

When several Death Eaters attempted to land from the junction of the Forbidden Forest and the Lawn, they were destroyed in the sudden blue wall of fire.

A bald wizard stood on the shore, staring coldly at the Death Eaters on the water.

Not far away, on a small wooden boat, an elderly French Death Eater burst into tears when he saw the other man's appearance.

"Lord Grindelwald!"

"Get out!"

Grindelwald's voice, containing infinite killing intent and rage, exploded in the ears of the Death Eaters.

The Death Eaters, who did not dare to anger the previous generation of Dark Lords, had to look for another place to log in again.

Yuri, who saw all this from a distance, couldn't help but touch his bare head, and then shivered.

However, the Death Eaters on the lake soon stopped worrying about the landing site.

Ron flew over their heads with a few Hogwarts students on broomsticks and threw a few freshly poured Destruction Mushrooms at them.

Before the Death Eaters could recover from the explosion, Hu De and the others, wearing the one-man water upright walking system provided by Zhang Xu, surrounded them from behind.

The Death Eaters on the lake, under the strangulation of the three forces of water, land and air, have entered the countdown to the total annihilation.

At the back door of Hogwarts Castle, a large group of Death Eaters from Hogsmeade have launched an attack on it.

It's just that a thick fog suddenly appeared here, and no one here would think that the white fog that covered the entire passage was normal.

Auguste Luckwood, who was in charge of the Death Eaters, frowned at the fog that the wind created by the magic could not blow them away, and pondered a way to break through.

He had a few people form a pathfinder team, and the team cautiously walked into the fog.

The pathfinder Death Eaters were immediately disoriented as soon as they walked into the fog, and they walked inside for five minutes before turning around and then exiting where they had been.

Graham Monty, the former captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team, who graduated two years ago, told Auguste Luckwood: "I saw this fog in the Triwizard Tournament back then, it was set up in a maze to interfere with the warriors' sense of direction, and it was able to isolate the inside and outside sounds to a certain extent. Later, when the maze opened, we tried to challenge it, but we didn't have much to do. ”

Lukewood looked at the young man with well-developed limbs in front of him, and said, "You mean there is still a way?" ”

"That's right." Monty nodded, "This fog can confuse one's sense of direction, and it can interfere with the positioning of spells and objects, but it can't affect what exists. ”

"Then take your people and crack it." Lukewood ordered Monty.

Among the Death Eaters, there are many young people who have graduated from Hogwarts in recent years, and most of these people are from Slytherin House. Because he had been the captain of the Quidditch in the house, Monty's men also gathered a group of young Death Eaters.

Monty then divided his men into two groups, each of which lined up side by side in a horizontal line, and then the two groups formed two lines of troops that were very close to each other.

As long as you can determine your own direction through the people on the left and right, then it is not easy to go the wrong way in the fog.

It's just that the white fog gives the Patronuses excellent cover, and after the Hogwarts students cast the "Calling Guardians" on the other side of the mist, their Patronus, led by the three pandas, smashed the Death Eaters' formation into pieces.

Lukewood waited on the other side of the fog for more than ten minutes, and just as he began to get impatient, the fog ahead suddenly began to fade.

First spells and shouts came out of the fog, and then the Death Eaters could gradually see a group of black shadows fighting.

In less than a minute, the fog dissipated into a thin layer of green smoke. Lukewood, on his side, saw that Montay and the others were struggling to resist the attack of the outnumbered Hogwarts students, and a third of them were already lying down at their feet.

Lukewood immediately ordered an attack, and the Death Eaters behind him immediately rushed with him towards the back door of Hogwarts.

Just as they were about to reach the battle position, a thick fog suddenly appeared again, and at the same time Montay and the others turned around.

“Ⓕⓤⓒⓚ！ Hurry up and cease fire, it's friendly forces! ”

"His uncle's allies!"

"(M) (D) Ceasefire, friendly forces!"

"It's a friendly army, stupid (B)!"

"You're (T)(M)(D) blind, friendly!"

For a while, shouts erupted in the fog.

After more than ten minutes, the battle ended, and Zhang Xu and a group of people walked out of the fog, dragging a guy with a blue nose and swollen face and a coma in his hand.

"All our people are here?" Zhang Xu asked Monta, whose left eye circle was swollen.

Montay drugged his eye circles and pointed to the group, which was a third less than when he first entered the fog, and said, "It's basically all here, it's Faranier, Onizus, and Maschino that the three of them were sent out in the early hours of the morning, and we don't have any news of them. ”

"They've already come back first." Zhang Xu said, "I've worked hard for you these days. ”

The undercover agents among the Death Eaters weren't just Snape, Malfoy and Sons, Faranier, Onejous, and Muskino. In addition to entering the top level, a complete set of intelligence organizations also needs to penetrate into all aspects of the grassroots level.

Prior to this operation, it was Montame's clever passive delays that delayed Voldemort's attack for several days.

Now that the final battle has begun, they don't need to stay among the Death Eaters. So under the operation of Faranier and Monty, their group of undercover agents gathered together as a team under the pretext of being familiar with the internal situation at Hogwarts.

Just now they "volunteered" to enter the fog to investigate, and after they teamed up with Zhang Xu and the real Death Eaters in the fog to deal with them, they acted in a play with Zhang Xu and them. As a result, Luke Wood was fooled.

Zhang Xu kicked the person he dragged back on the ground and asked Monty, "What's the matter with this guy?" ”

"I don't know." Monty shook his head, "If you hadn't found him among the Death Eaters, I'd have thought he was in America." ”

Now is not the time to deal with Draco Malfoy on the ground, he asks the two panda Patronuses to carry the ponies to the Great Hall and give them to Professor McGonagall, where he has important business to do.

"Can you continue to fight?" Zhang Xu asked Montay about them.

After receiving a positive answer, Zhang Xu said to the people around him: "Let's go, go and meet our next batch of guests!" ”

In the Forbidden Forest, countless animals are galloping in the direction of Hogwarts.

It's just that the terrain in the woodland is very complicated, and many animals can trip if they are not careful. Before the fallen animals could get up, they were eaten by the eight-eyed spiders that swarmed behind.

The eight-eyed spiders, who had been driven out of the Forbidden Forest for several years, did not die, they had been recuperating outside the Centaur tribe's sphere of influence for a while, and now their populations were slowly increasing again.

Only this time the Eight-Eyed Spiders were driven out of their habitat by the Death Eaters as cannon fodder for an attack on Hogwarts from the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

Behind the spiders is a group of giants and werewolves running in stride. If these spiders run a little slower, they will be trampled into flesh by giants.

The horses have all shrunk into their villages.

A ring of fortifications has now been built around the centaur village that will make the painting collapse.

After the centaur representatives saw the deplorable situation at Hogsmeade, they were forced to temporarily abandon their traditions and let the humans help them build a line of defense around the village.

A wide, deep trench enclosed the village, the bottom of which was filled with spikes cut diagonally from steel pipes, and only a curved road for the three centaurs to walk side by side led to the outside. On the perimeter of the trench and on top of the original wooden wall were several layers of barbed wire that were firmly fixed. One layer later, the ground was covered with thistles coated with a special poison made by the centaurs.

Such a fortification is an attempt for wizards, but an insurmountable obstacle for the eight-eyed spiders and werewolves, even giants can stand in the way of waiting for reinforcements.

Coupled with the fact that the village had already stocked up on a large amount of food, all the horses had to do now was to use the turtle stream to lie through the war.

Fortunately, until the end of this war, only a few eight-eyed spiders and werewolves could reach the centaur tribe, and the giant that worried the centaurs did not get close to the village at all.

Because the British military laid out a steel defense line in the Forbidden Forest.

As early as when the British government began to contact Dumbledore, Bell Grylls and the others obtained permission to enter the Forbidden Forest, and then Bell led people to carry out topographic survey and mapping work in the Forbidden Forest.

When Zhang Xu went to the Forbidden Forest with Slughorn and Harry to look for native sheep, he met the three of them who were engaged in this work. See Chapter 402 for details

Through aerial remote sensing and field surveys, the detailed terrain around Hogwarts has long been in the hands of the British military.

With the support of topographical intelligence, and the fact that the General Staff agreed with Zhang's judgment that this was the direction of attack of the giants and werewolves, the British military finally laid an ambush circle at suitable locations on several possible enemy routes.

As early as more than a week ago, all three regiments of the special air service regiment and the special boat regiment, which are the backbone of the force, had already been deployed by helicopter landing.

At the same time, a large number of British engineers broke away from Hogsmeade's reconstruction, cleared the firing boundary in the Forbidden Forest, and built a network of improvised roads and makeshift logistics camps.

After studying the terrain constraints in the Forbidden Forest and the characteristics of the enemy, the British military used Chinook transport helicopters that could carry about 10 tons of cargo to transport a large number of "scimitar" armored reconnaissance vehicles weighing about 8 tons and equipped with 30mm machine guns. Eventually, they even followed the example of the Death Eaters during the Hogsmeade raid and brought in a platoon of "Samurai" infantry fighting vehicles to serve as an assault force on the improvised road net.

According to Sukhbaru, who had secretly visited the defense line, he told Zhang Xu that this line of defense could be arranged to fend off enemies attacking Hogwarts, and it could also be used as an advance base for attacking Hogwarts.

Brock Rumlow looked at the white figure that appeared in his scope and couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the legendary unicorn." ”

"It's beautiful." Grant Ward's attention was also focused on the unicorns in the herd, "If only I could keep one in the backyard." ”

"Hold your breath and don't shoot." The leader of this squad, Alexander Pearce, conveyed the orders of his superiors to several of them, "Put these over first, our opponents are behind them." ”

Not long after, John Garlott's somewhat panicked voice came from everyone's headphones: "(S)(h)(i)(t)!" What the hell is that! What do they grow up eating?! ”

"Wow, that's amazing!" Rumlow exaggeratedly cried out, "Do any of you have pesticides?" ”

Pierce nervously held the detonator in his hand at this time, waiting for the countdown in the headset to end.

When the front of the eight-eyed spider rushed to a place not far from them, countless explosions sounded at the same time, and a nearly 100-meter-wide "broadsword" directional minefield was detonated, creating a 100-meter-long and twenty-meter-wide death zone in the eight-eyed spider swarm.

After the explosion, some of the surviving eight-eyed spiders scattered and fled, while others continued to rush forward on the wreckage of their own kind.

Then the guns and cannons in the Forbidden Forest burst out, and the huge eight-eyed spiders were certainly scary, but shooting them with a gun was a different feeling.

The 5.56mm warhead penetrated the shell of the spider's body, and then the unstable warhead continued to roll in the soft muscles and internal organs, leaving a permanent tunnel of flesh and blood in the spider's body.

The worst are the spiders who were targeted by the M2 godmother, and the 12.7mm warhead directly caused their bodies to explode into a cloud of blood mist. At such close distances, it is not uncommon for a single bullet to kill two spiders in close proximity at the same time.

"I feel like we're playing a game." John Galliot, who had just been startled by the spiders, shouted as he changed the magazine, "I think I can kill a hundred of them alone." ”

"Then I'll help you raise one under your bed." Bell, who had not made a sound, said, "Watch out for the big guys behind them, I don't think you want to be smashed with a big tree a second time." ”

Garlott couldn't help but shrink his neck, and that night he was almost hit by a tree thrown by the giant, causing him to come back with nightmares for several nights.

"Thank you." "I think it's best to raise it in Ward's backyard." I thought it would be best to have a couple there, and I had names in mind, Fitz and Simmons. ”

"I'm going to kick you off the plane with Fitz and Simmons on the next plane." Ward replied.

The eight-eyed spider did not have very good countermeasures against the ranged troops with strong attack power, and they had no way to take Zhang Xu, who threw fireballs everywhere, and was driven away by the bows and arrows of the centaurs after losing their numerical advantage. Now, they are even more vulnerable in front of the nets of fire, so much so that the soldiers still have time to laugh.

"The big guys are coming, be careful!" Pierce didn't get involved in the brawl between the players, and he had been carefully observing the situation on the battlefield.

A giant emerges from the woods, holding a large tree in his hand to use as a stick.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Two Samurai infantry fighting vehicles approached from a short distance through an improvised road in the woods, while firing at the giants using their 30mm cannons.

Not a single giant could withstand two machine guns with flesh and blood, and one by one the giants fell under the chariot.

The biggest problem for infantry fighting vehicles now is the huge trees that have not been cleared in a short time in front of the defensive line, which obstruct the view and firing range of infantry fighting vehicles. Therefore, these infantry fighting vehicles can only constantly maneuver on improvised roads, looking for windows for firing.

The improvised roads in the Forbidden Forest were not limited to the back of the defensive line, and in the first few kilometers of the defensive line, British engineers had already built a network of improvised roads that crisscrossed and crisscrossed the line.

After determining the direction of the enemy's attack, the defending infantry in other places quickly outflanked the opposing flanks through the road network in lightweight "scimitar" armored reconnaissance vehicles.

Unlike the giants with one-brained tendons, the werewolves in the back have better brains.

Instead of following the giants into the flesh mill's defensive lines, they began to move in both directions, trying to get around from the side.

It's just that they soon encountered the outflanked British soldiers, and they were hit by a dense rain of bullets.

Rao is a clever and powerful werewolf, and can also use terrain and obstacles to launch assaults. But they can only turn into moths in front of the fire net.

By this time, the giants and werewolves had begun to be afraid, and retreat was their only option.

At that moment, four warplanes flew over the Forbidden Forest, the napalm they dropped creating a wall of fire that blocked the giants and werewolves from retreating.

At this point, the overall situation of the battle in the Forbidden Forest has been decided. Some of the werewolves and eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest who did not follow the movement of the large army could not survive, and they all fell in front of the fortifications of the centaur tribe.

Since then, only Hagrid's younger brother has been left among the purebred giants in Europe, and the eight-eyed spider has disappeared in England.

The heaviest part of today's fighting is still the main entrance to Hogwarts.

By the time the battle had progressed significantly in the other three directions, the gates of Hogwarts and the surrounding walls were gone, and the ground was littered with the ruins of the original walls, the remains of various mushrooms and peas, as well as the corpses of humans and blackened bloodstains.

By this time, the Hogwarts students and Aurors had retreated to the second line of defense.

None of the tall nuts here are intact, and most of them are only half of them. The peas were no better, nearly eighty percent of them had fallen to the ground. The watermelons and corn were in better shape because they were placed behind the tall nuts, and they didn't suffer much damage.

Probably due to the news that all three of the other three directions of attack had failed, the Death Eaters were withdrawing from Hogwarts in batches.

In the Screaming Shack, a table has a map of the area around Hogwarts. Voldemort was sitting behind the table, and a group of Death Eaters were standing across the table.

Yaxley is reporting to Voldemort on today's attack on Hogwarts: "The enemy is holding the line. ”

"On the lake, our men failed to break through the defenses on the water."

"The back door of Hogwarts, Lukewood is blocked by a fog and the guards there."

"There was a loud explosion in the direction of the Forbidden Forest, and there was no news from the giants and werewolves."

"The battle at the main gate was going on hard, and everyone was tired."

Voldemort, who was sitting in his chair, raised his Elder Wand and waved it in a circle, saying at the same time, "Faranire, everything will be better as soon as they are close to attacking the castle." ”

Yaxley hesitated, then said, "Master...... Faraniel: ...... "He couldn't go any further, and could only glance at Selwyn on the side.

Selwyn also said hesitantly: "There is no sign of Faranir attacking the castle, and we can't contact them anymore. ”

Voldemort was silent for a moment, then placed the Elder Wand on the table with a slightly trembling hand. He said in a suppressed calm tone, "The following people stay in the room. Yaxley, Selwyn, Rohr, Gargerson, Goyle, Crabbe. ”

After the others exited the room, the six made eye contact with each other, but didn't dare to overdo it.

Voldemort looked at the six men and couldn't help but be furious. After he regained his body back then, the core team under his command was full of talents. And now, all that is left is the six people in front of him who are overwhelmed and have been playing soy sauce to make up the numbers.

"That's an order!" Voldemort suddenly stood up and roared, "I personally ordered Faranire to attack the castle!" ”

"Who does he think they are, and how dare they take the risk of disobeying my orders?"

"Has it come to this?"

"They lied to me! Everyone lied to me, even Snape, who had been following me for years! ”

"All of them are nothing but a bunch of shameless and unfaithful cowards!"

"I was betrayed and deceived from the very beginning! But all traitors will pay back! They will pay it back with their own blood! They will drown in their own blood! ”

The Elder Wand was taken back into Voldemort's hand at some point, and when he roared excitedly, he slammed the Elder Wand to the table.

Just as the Death Eaters were trembling with terror, a loud voice came from Hogwarts Discovery, shaking the windows of the screaming shack into dust.

"Tom Riddle, dare you fight my Harry Potter to the death!"
