Chapter 628: The End of an Era
A huge sand table, 10 feet long and wide, was placed in the center of the hall, with a topographical map centered on the forest inn. Several small flags of different colors were planted on the sand table, indicating the deployment of troops on both sides.
On the wall of the hall hangs a map of Great Britain with small flags of different colors on it.
Around the sand table, a group of people speaking various languages gathered.
Before the name of the International Wizarding Federation was officially decided, the organization tentatively named the International Wizarding Federation had already begun to send assembly personnel to Britain in the name of volunteers to intervene in its wizarding civil war.
Scrimgeour's instincts told him that the incident was unlikely to be a small event, so he decisively appealed to the multinational force for support.
Although 10 Downing Street and the Pig's Head Bar were ashamed of this, there was nothing they could do about it. Unlike Britain, which is still a country that cannot be underestimated at the level of ordinary society, in the wizarding world, in the face of the powerful Voldemort group, they can only strengthen their strength in this way while saving face.
This multinational force officially intervened in the British Wizarding Civil War, ushering in a new era.
Because of Zhang's familiarity with the enemy and friendly forces, coupled with his "sweeping five volts" and other achievements in eliminating the two-hole socket Horcrux, he actually got mixed into a position similar to that of a staff officer. However, as the saying goes, "if a staff officer doesn't have a commander, he won't make a sound," and his role is basically to provide some opinions and suggestions to the command.
Even so, it was enough to make Percy on the side red-eyed.
After returning from the basement to confirm the identity of the unlucky child, Zhang Xu sat on a chair next to him and listened to the bigwigs arguing about the next plan of action.
Since this is the first time that such a large-scale cooperation has taken place, and the fighters of various countries have different styles of action, it will take a little time for everyone to get used to it.
Everyone knew what was going on, so after less than five minutes of communication, a consensus was reached.
In short, it is a replica of the Battle of Menglianggu, and they are on the side of the national army.
After the command layer dispersed and began to prepare, someone sat on the chair next to Zhang Xu.
This time, the person in charge of leading the team in China was actually Sukhbaru, who had roasted sheep with Zhang Xu in Hogsmeade.
After he sat down, he complained to Zhang Xu: "It's really tiring to talk to foreigners." ”
"It's good to get used to it, and before the Allied Command is established and perfected, there will be no shortage of such things." Zhang Xu said, "How can you play Meng Lianggu again this time." ”
"Anyway, it's not you who is in command, what are you afraid of." Sukhbaru quipped, "If you're feeling too busy, you can go outside and be safe." ”
"Master Tiger, you're not authentic." Zhang Xu glanced at him, "Just ask me to do something and give an order, you didn't fool me into going out and being beaten like this." ”
Although he has been complaining, his body is very honest, and it is better to play a little more role than to idle here.
"Be careful." Sukhbaru said to Zhang Xu, who stood up, "After so many years of fighting, I have seen many young people like you who were full of self-confidence before going out to fight, but when I saw them again, they had already been put into the ashes. ”
"Don't worry, Lord Tiger." Zhang Xu said while sorting out his equipment, "I'm just strategically despising the enemy, tactically I will definitely attach importance to the enemy, if I take them for fools, my grave grass will already be half a meter high." Besides, after this battle, after graduation, I will go to my wife's house to get married first. ”
On the top of a hill not far from the hotel, Walton McNeill was listening to a report from his men.
"You said there were Hogwarts students near the hotel?" McNeill asked, "What do you look like?" ”
"Yellow man, black hair and black eyes, he wears Hogwarts robes." The Death Eater replied, "We caught him trying to break the anti-illusion magic, and when he was discovered, he threw a few fireballs at us and fled. ”
These elements combined, and a hateful face appeared in McNeil's mind. As the poorest of the Death Eaters, half of his poor savings were also robbed by Zhang.
In the Death Eaters' intelligence, Zhang Xu appeared as a Harry Potter bodyguard. Now that he's here, can you prove that Harry Potter was inside?
Thinking of this, McNeill's breathing couldn't help but get a little heavier.
"Kill him." McNeil's eyes were full of hatred, and he looked at the elite henchmen who were in reserve around him, "Be careful, he's scheming, and one mistake can cost you your own lives." ”
As a result, Zhang, who was sent out to spread false news, was chased all over the mountain by a group of Death Eaters.
The Death Eaters who were now chasing him had gone from nine at the beginning to six now.
At the beginning, he pulled out a grenade and threw it behind him after casting a disillusionment charm on it. After killing two Death Eaters, the remaining Death Eaters scattered.
Then when passing a large tree, he quietly left a patronus behind it.

As a Death Eater passed by a tree, he was knocked unconscious by a heavy uppercut from the long-awaited Patronus Panda behind the tree. Then before the other Death Eaters could destroy the Patronus, the Death Eater had his neck broken.
After taking two sneak attacks and losing three people, seeing the cunning of the other side, the Death Eaters who pursued Zhang Xu learned to be obedient, and they began to scatter and move away from the huge trees.
The worst thing is that the trees in front of you are starting to shrink, it is difficult to find large trees that can provide cover to avoid the spells behind you, and the snow on the ground is getting thicker.

Zhang Xu's wand waved back, and a gust of wind swept backwards. The gale rolled up a thick cloud of snow along the way, captivating the Death Eaters' eyes for a moment.
By the time the snowflakes settled, Zhang Xu had disappeared, and the Death Eater who was chasing after him had his neck silently cut open by some kind of spell and died. The wizard in a black robe lay on the snow, the white snow on the side was stained bright red by the blood sprayed from the carotid artery, and it stood out in the snow.
The remaining five Death Eaters paused, then carefully observed the wind and grass around them. They didn't think that Zhang Xu, who had been chased all over the mountain and killed the four of them just now, would slip away like this, he must have set some trap waiting for him.
There were very few trees around, and there was a large area of snow that had been blown away by the strong wind just now, revealing the withered yellow weeds on the ground.
The five Death Eaters dispersed, slowly searching ahead.
Ten steps... Nine Steps... Eight steps, getting closer.
Zhang Xu, who incarnated as "Voldemort", held his breath, for fear that the fog he exhaled in the cold winter would reveal his location, and quietly waited for the Death Eaters to walk into the ambush circle he had set up.
The Death Eaters stopped when they were not far from the Dead Meadow, they looked at each other before unleashing a fiery spell on the meadow at the same time.
Suddenly, two or three basketball courts-sized pieces of dead grass burst into flames, and thick smoke and water vapor from the snow under the grass filled the air.
The next moment, a figure sprang up from the dead grass, screaming and waving a flaming wand, and when he found that the wand was no longer usable, he slapped the flames on his body with both hands in vain.
But the fire ignited by the spell could not be extinguished by hand, and in less than ten seconds, the figure in the smoke turned into a humanoid torch, struggled in vain and fell into the burning grass.
It took nearly ten minutes for the fire on the ground to be extinguished when everything that could be burned was gone.
A cold wind swept across the land, blowing up ashes all over the ground.
