At half past three in the morning of 21 February, the battle for Hogsmeade began, and the attacking Death Eaters unabashedly attacked Hogsmeade from the south of the village.

Although Hogsmeade had been warned, the Death Eaters were attacking with more ferocity than anyone could have imagined.

The old days of turning the tiger away from the mountain or something are no longer used, and this time Voldemort went directly to F2 first, and then towards Hogsmeade A.

Due to the previous Death Eaters attacking the hills north of Hogsmeade, and the last air raid, the Aurors' defenses within Hogsmeade were scattered. As a result, the southern line of defense was almost broken by the Death Eaters at the beginning.

Now that the Death Eaters and Aurors were on the front lines, the battle was at a fever pitch in an instant.

And this time, the Death Eaters got a large number of car tires from nowhere, and the smoke from the ignition of the tires was enveloped over the battlefield under the control of the spell.

This made the capitalist iron fists who rushed from the air unable to see what was happening on the ground, and the news on the radio that the two sides had become a mess, which forced them to give up the bomb dropping, or else they would have to sing "Friendly Encirclement" next.

Faced with the oncoming Death Eaters like a tsunami wave, Scrimgeour decisively ordered the Aurors scattered throughout Britain to return to Hogsmeade immediately to fight, but it would take time for the scattered Aurors to return to Hogsmeade.

For a time, the battle south of Hogsmeade entered a stalemate.

After the battle began, Scrimgeour kept an eye on the mountains to the north, and his instincts told him that something big was going to happen there.

Sure enough, around four o'clock in the morning, news of the urgency of the defensive line on the top of the hill to the north soon came, and Scrimgeour had to mobilize the Aurors in the village to help.

As a result, Scrimgeour was left with only the international column.

At Hogwarts, the students have all been woken up, and the students responsible for defending Hogwarts are on standby.

The news from Hogsmeade confirmed Zhang Xu's speculation that Snape's elimination was due to Voldemort's large-scale attack, and that the scale of the current attack was far greater than before. Next, Voldemort is likely to bring the war to Hogwarts.

In a classroom at Hogwarts Castle, Zhang Xu looked at the dozen or so students in front of him expressionlessly. He told the students, "The final battle has arrived, and if you choose to continue following the Dark Lord, please leave now." If you choose to stay, then grieve him for a while. ”

The "spies" in front of Zhang Xu looked at each other, and some of them didn't even know that other people were also "spies" like themselves.

There are elusive ghosts, and those "spies" who have not been exposed by themselves have long been exposed.

Now, they are faced with one of the most important choices of their lives.

Fifteen minutes later, the dungeons of Hogwarts were filled with people. Those who chose to stay were invited to live in a comfortable cell, and those who chose to leave were grabbed and tied up by the professors and students waiting in the corridor and thrown into a cell with only a floor as soon as they left the classroom.

When Zhang Xu and the others returned to the auditorium, the latest battle report from the direction of Hogsmeade had just arrived. The northern and southern fronts of Hogsmeade were under tremendous pressure, and almost all of their forces were pressed in these two places, except for the international columns that served as reserves.

Seeing that Zhang Xu was frowning and staring at the map tightly, Rodney walked up to him and asked softly, "Is there any problem?" ”

Zhang Xu stretched out his hand and pointed a little on the map, saying, "If there is a group of Death Eaters who occupy the settlement of the victims now...... and then his hand marks a "boom" around Hogsmeade, "then Hogsmeade will be surrounded on three sides: south, west, and north." ”

At the same time, inside the screaming shack, Voldemort was speaking to the three young men in front of him: "Faranier, Onejuus, and Muskino, you three are young people I like." Now, I have a dangerous and difficult task for you, and it is a task that may well cost you your life. Would you like to do this for me? ”

must be willing, at this time, the person who said that he was unwilling was the birthday boy who hanged himself.

Voldemort looked at the three of them with satisfaction and said, "I'm going to send someone to attack the tent area west of Hogsmeade, and it's very likely that the people there will be transferred to Hogwarts." I need you to get into the crowd and then create chaos in the castle while I attack Hogwarts. ”

When Scrimgeour received a group of Death Eaters heading towards the settlement, the idea arose for the settlement to evacuate to Hogwarts Castle. So he ordered the international column to go to the resettlement site for reinforcements, and let them decide whether to transfer the personnel of the resettlement site depending on the situation.

The combat effectiveness of the international column surprised Voldemort, and the Death Eaters he sent were kept out.

The international column even made a penetrating division, encircling and annihilating a group of Death Eaters who were far away from the main army.

However, when the Death Eaters formed a group, the battle became stalemate.

It's just that the defenses here are almost non-existent, and most of the personnel are women and children, so it's not good for them to stay here.

After discussion, the two battle-hardened commanders, Sukhbaru and Yuri, decided to gather the people of the settlement and wait for more than an hour before arranging for them to be transferred to Hogwarts.

Scrimgeour agrees to their suggestion, and then Professor McGonagall agrees to accept the Evacuee from Hogsmeade.

It didn't take long for a bold idea to pop into Scrimgeour's head.

First evacuate all the Hogsmeade civilians to Hogwarts while the sky is slightly light, then put the Death Eaters into the village, and finally wait for the Muggle air force to lick the entire Hogsmeade and the Death Eaters inside after dawn.

As long as the main force of the Death Eaters is wiped out in one go, it will be worth betting on a Hogsmeade. It's just a pity that the buildings that are halfway restored are gone.

The people at Hogwarts were stunned when they heard this plan, and they didn't know whether to say that Scrimgeour was bold or crazy.

Zhang Mouren was even more cheeky, it seems that Chairman Si is really bold enough, and this game is big enough.

Eventually, both Scrimgeour and the British military agreed to the plan, and Hogwarts was left to prepare for the evacuation of civilians.

It's a pity that Voldemort didn't give Scrimgeour a chance.

By the time the eastern sky was a little white, all the civilians of Hogsmeade had gathered around the settlement. The Death Eaters who attacked here had been repulsed half an hour earlier.

However, at this time, the Death Eaters who were attacking the defense line on the summit north of Hogsmeade suddenly made a force, and the stone men slowly climbed to the mountainside by night, and the Aurors, who were attracted by the Death Eaters, did not realize that these big guys were not far from them.

After the sky brightened and lost the cover of night, the stone men suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed to the defense line at the top of the mountain.

The stonemen who broke through the defense line did not stop, but crossed the ridgeline and curled themselves into a ball, then rolled towards Hogsmeade below.

Countless huge stone figures rolled down from the top of the hill, stirring up a cloud of dust, and the sound of rocks colliding with each other under the dust could be faintly heard in Hogwarts Castle.

Scattered within Hogsmeade, the anti-aircraft Aurors who had originally prepared to deal with the stonemen who had fallen from the sky had no time to stop these sudden disasters, and many could only watch them roll in from the top of the mountain.

Under the influence of great inertia, the stone men smashed through the buildings of Hogsmeade that had survived or had just been repaired. When they stopped, they spread out again, and began to destroy everything they could see.

Hogsmeade played GG.
