"Gollum ......"

The two twenty-sided dice rolled on the table a few times before stopping.

Zhang Xu glanced at the numbers on it, looked it up on a long piece of parchment, and read, "The Death Eaters attack has been thwarted, and the Auror reinforcements still have thirty seconds to arrive on the battlefield. ”

Wales placed the blue pieces representing the reinforcements on a map of England that was large enough to be a double bed, and around the pieces, there were several black pieces.

Although the Harry trio who hadn't seen each other at the table for a while didn't understand what Zhang Xu and the others were doing, this did not prevent them from watching the excitement.

Zhang Xu greeted Harry as Hood was thinking about his next move, "Hey, Harry, you got out of the basement?" ”

Harry, who was locked in a secret room for fear of Voldemort's sneak attack, turned a little pale, presumably because of the poor rest in the past two days.

Harry didn't want to pick up this stubble, but asked curiously, "What are you guys playing?" ”

"We have just finished making a set of wargames, and now we are testing the wargames." "We are using the battle that took place in the early hours of February 6 as a model. ”

"Hmm......" Harry looked at it, realizing he didn't understand, "is that any use?" ”

The same is true for Ron and Hermione on the side, so everyone should watch the excitement.

With the last blue piece on the map disappearing, another deduction is over.

"It's not normal!" Hood frowned and said, "The mysterious man's actions that night were too abnormal. ”

Zhang Xu nodded with the other two big sisters.

"Is there any problem, Miss Hood?" Hermione on the side asked strangely.

"There are so many questions." Hood explained to her, "With the strength of the Mystery, he could have extended his gains that night, and if he had put the rest of his forces into battle, he might have been able to capture the ruins of Hogsmeade." ”

"And the timing of his launch that night was also strange, it seems to have been launched at the time when the reinforcements from the coalition army arrived."

"If it had been earlier, it was entirely possible that they would have caused more damage to Hogsmeade before reinforcements arrived."

"Later, when the reinforcements arrive, Scrimgeoour can send more Aurors to all parts of the UK, then Hogsmeade's defenses, although they remain unchanged on the surface, will be bombed on a large scale as soon as they arrive, which will be a big blow to the morale of the reinforcements."

"Is there any other power in his hands that he hasn't used?" Harry asked, frowning, this wasn't good news for him.

"Giants and werewolves?" This time it was Ron, who had last seen the giant during the operation to rescue his mother.

"That's right." Zhang Xu replied, "The mysterious man has been hiding all the giants and werewolves under his command, and he has only used them a few times so far. ”

"Or maybe he wants to get them out and sneak up at the last moment?" Hermione said.

"If it were you, where would you use them?" At this time, Zhang Xu had a map in front of him with a radius of ten kilometers around Hogwarts, and he was staring at the Forbidden Forest next to Hogwarts on the map at the moment.

"I guess it's the Forbidden Forest." Hermione said, "In the Forbidden Forest, giants and werewolves have the greatest advantage. ”

As a wizard who has dealt with giants and werewolves, Hermione thinks the same as Zhang Xu.

At this time, what Zhang Xu's mind thought of was the prophecy of the centaur elder back then, "The dark wizard, with blood and flames, is raging in the Forbidden Forest. Monsters of steel, rampage through the Forbidden Forest. Unprecedented fireballs rained down from the sky, scorching the forest with flames that the rain could not extinguish. "// In Chapter 383

The first has appeared, and the Death Eaters have attacked the centaur tribe. Later, in order to deal with the zombieized Death Eaters, wizards set fires in the Forbidden Forest.

The third also appeared, though it seemed to be a bit skewed in location, as the two events occurred during the third and fourth anti-encirclement battles in Hogsmeade.

Then there was a second one, so Zhang Xu asked Hu De and the others, "Is it okay for the army's armored vehicles to fight in the Forbidden Forest?" ”

What answered Zhang Xu was the contemptuous gaze of several of them, and Zhang Xu read the meaning of "We are the glorious Royal Navy, what does the army red deer care about us" from the silent gaze.

Zhang Xu touched his nose in embarrassment, thinking about this way to change the topic.

At this time, Harry said to Zhang Xu, "Zhang, Professor McGonagall said that you have something to do with me?" ”

"Oh, yes." Only then did Zhang Xu remember that he had come to Harry, and he handed a document to Harry, "You go and see this first." ”

When Harry took the document in Zhang Xu's hand, he saw that the cover read "Operation Tsunami", and then he looked at Zhang Xu with a vigilant gaze, and he said, "You can't be doing any strange plans again, are you?" ”

"Don't worry." Zhang Xu said, "This is not a plan to make you look like your mother again, and then Ron to pretend to be you, and then you appear in front of the mysterious person together to scare him. ”

"It's not about having three steel claws stick out of your fist and stab the mystery man to death."

"This is a large-scale operation jointly approved by the Ministry of Magic and the British government, involving more than 100,000 people, and you are the protagonist of this operation, which cannot be sloppy."

Harry took the document and went to the couch in the corner with Ron and Hermione to see that this plan was actually the final modified version of Zhang's plan to attack Voldemort with DDoS.

In order to carry out this plan, Scrimgeour has been suppressing the forces of the Ministry of Magic to fight back. He planned to lure Voldemort with Harry Potter taunts on the start of the Premier League after the secret arrival of reinforcements and preparations at England's stadiums, and then attack Voldemort at crucial moments for 90 minutes.

Fortunately, Aza Javid didn't get this information, otherwise the crowd would have had another headache.

"Let's play another game." Zhang Xu resumed the wargame posture on the table, and then said to Nelson.

At this time, the door to the dormitory opened, and someone walked in.

"Ahh Why are you all happy to play here, and I'm so worried about changing my homework! Rodney, who had been caught by Scarlett to finish the students' homework, returned to the dorm room, then grabbed half a bottle of pumpkin juice from her sister's side and drank it down.

"We've had a busy day, okay?" Nelson patted his sister, who was choking on the back because she was drinking too quickly, "There's a senior professor here, you can ask him what to do in this situation." ”

"Professor Zhang," Rodney walked behind Zhang Xu and massaged his shoulder with the force of pinching walnuts, "Do you usually do it steadily when you're unhappy in Hogwarts?" ”

Professor Zhang, who had a sclerosis on his shoulder, replied, "According to the practice of a former Hogwarts professor, he tosses his students to make himself happy when he is upset. ”

The Harry trio, who had already noticed the situation, looked at Professor Rodney with a wicked smile as they walked towards them, and at this moment they had the heart to tie Professor Zhang to the bottom of the lake with a stone.

"Miss Granger." Rodney greeted Hermione with a smile on his face.

Hermione was startled and sat down on the couch and squeezed around.

"When it comes to fighting evil wizards, don't forget that there are still four months left before the ultimate wizard level exam." Rodney said.

It was obvious that Hermione went into a gain-and-lose mode, and within half a minute, she made the decision to sleep only four hours a day for the next four months, and then use the rest of the time to review.

Of course, she naturally dragged Harry and Ron with such a good thing.

"Is your sister a demon?" Zhang Xu asked Nelson quietly.

"Occasionally." Nelson replied quietly.

"I'm in a much better mood." Rodney, who was helping Zhang Xu beat his back, said.

Zhang Xu didn't care about the heavy blow on his back, but continued to play war games with Nelson.

The map of England is filled with white chess pieces representing the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, blue chess pieces representing the coalition forces concentrated in Hogsmeade, and red chess pieces around London representing the power of government forces. It's just that everyone doesn't know where the Death Eaters' lair is, so the black pieces are all placed outside the board, and then the rules are used to limit the time when the Death Eaters can reach a certain place.

Although this is only a new game to be launched after the rebuilding of the coffee shop, the rules are not very strict and need to be strengthened, but there are still many problems in the general direction from the chessboard.

For example, the Aurors who are now scattered all over Britain in order to control the area inhabited by wizards on the chessboard have been nailed to the Auror headquarters in various places, and they have taken up Hogsmeade's valuable troops, causing the mobile force to shrink dramatically.

But Scrimgeour didn't dare to cut their strength, because of Voldemort's presence, the Northern Ministry of Magic has always been weaker than the South. If there is news that an area has been completely overrun by the Death Eaters, the prestige of the Northern Ministry of Magic will inevitably be cut in half. At that time, not only will the people be disappointed in the Northern Ministry of Magic, but even the insiders will lose confidence in themselves.

If Scrimgeour had not relied on the British government and foreign allies, the Northern Ministry of Magic would have ended up with a complete collapse when the Death Eaters, who had gained the upper hand in numbers, in battle after battle, and then when the straw that broke the camel's back fell.

If Scrimgeour were to shrink his forces, he might be able to retreat to most of Scotland and Northern Ireland across the sea.

However, the main work of the National Defense System was completed and put into operation before the Ministry of Magic moved north, which cut off Scrimgeur's path to the north.

Scrimgeour knew the power and power of this system, as did the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, and it was equivalent to opening a map to the Ministry of Magic, allowing them to eliminate the Death Eaters with superior forces through intelligence superiority.

However, the system also served as a chain that locked the Aurors' living forces to the ground, preventing the Ministry of Magic from concentrating more mobile forces on a larger scale.

This leaves the Ministry of Magic with the only force to rely on outside forces if it doesn't want to be finished.

Because of this system, the wizarding people have the hope of winning, and before the pig's head pub and 10 Downing Street are reconciled, the wizarding people from all over the world continue to summon the Aurors to fight the Death Eaters to fight to the death.

But these scattered battles throughout Britain turned the island into a mill of flesh and blood, and while the results were gratifying, when the losses were added up, they reached a number that kept Scrimgeour awake. After all, British wizards have not experienced large-scale wars for hundreds of years, which makes them not tolerate casualties very highly.

At first, the wizards in England didn't know about it, and the upper echelons of the Ministry of Magic kept silent about it. The first group of wizards who realized this problem were the group of military chess enthusiasts who emerged after the war.

At this time, Zhang Xu didn't know such a thing, and he was now fighting as usual as the Death Eaters and Nelson, who was on the side of Hogsmeade.

When it came to the chessboard, Zhang Xu understood why Voldemort repeatedly used the tiger to weaken Hogsmeade's forces before the attack, because this trick was so easy that Scrimgeour had to follow his baton even if he knew that it was Voldemort who was playing tricks. Because the stalls were too large and there was no room for failure in all places, Scrimgeour had to put out his limited forces.

This time, Zhang Xu and Nelson simulated a new round of attacks launched by Voldemort in the near future, while Hogsmeade's side only used the power of the Ministry of Magic, and tried not to use the power of reinforcements and government forces.

There was no need to occupy Hogsmeade, which had been half destroyed, so Zhang Xu simply commanded the Death Eaters to attack Hogwarts, the last iconic fortress against Voldemort, in three directions.

The first was the bombardment from the north, and with the protection of an escort formation on broomsticks, Hogwarts, which lacked warning, was subjected to a round of flying carpet bombing.

The main force of the Death Eaters then began to attack from the gates, and the peas planted on the lawn of the main entrance had been lost in the previous bombardment, and after losing this strong support, the Aurors and Hogwarts students engaged in positional battles near the gates.

When there was a stalemate near the gate, the Giants and Werewolves attacked the Centaur line in the Forbidden Forest and the Pea line on the edge of Hogwarts, stealing the back path of the main Aurors and students near the gate.

After a bit of dice rolling, the Death Eaters finally let out a GG in the midst of the gunfire.

"It seems that you can't win without relying on external forces." Harry, who had watched the battle from the sidelines, sighed.

"This is based on your defeat to the Mystic, using modern weapons to massively kill the Death Eaters' living forces, and then try to see if you can kill the Mystic." Zhang Xu said to Harry, "As long as he kills all his men, even if he continues to survive through Horcruxes, when the time comes, all his men will die, and it will be difficult for him to achieve great things alone." And, let's not forget that we also have the means to detect Horcruxes. ”

"What if the mystery man hid the Horcruxes tightly?" Hermione asked, "I'm afraid he's hiding somewhere no one else can imagine." If you can't find him, won't you have to fight him for a hundred years? ”

Zhang Xu, who was cleaning up the table, said: "There is still a way, and the big deal is to use the land to form a formation." ”

"What's that?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Don't worry about the details." Zhang Xu replied.

He brought Harry in tonight, mainly to let Harry know about the role he was about to play, and then rushed him to Professor Flitwick for a special training in dueling. In terms of dueling experience, Professor Flitwick is second to none other at Hogwarts.
