"This is the battle to defend Hogwarts, and none of us can afford to back down!"

Hearing George's loud words, even some of the students who had previously chosen to retreat stopped.

At this moment, no one spoke again, and everyone looked at Professor Flitwick with the same eyes.

"You ......"

Professor Flitwick flicked their arms back and froze for a moment.

"Students of sufficient age can choose to stay!"

Professor McGonagall said on the spot.

"Junior students, go back to the castle at once!"

Hearing her say this, the senior students cheered in unison, and then began to help drive away the younger students.

Scott couldn't help but laugh as he watched this scene.

Boom!

At that moment, there was a loud bang in the sky.

The fiery python that Voldemort spat out suddenly exploded.

At the same time, the red lightning bolts from his wand grew thicker, and the ripples surging on the silver barrier of magic expanded.

On top of that, combined with the attacks of other Death Eaters and dark creatures, the magic barrier was like a balloon about to burst, and the color became a little more transparent.

"Come with me!"

Professor Flitwick shouted.

"Solid!"

He raised his wand and sent a silver light into the sky, merging into the barrier of mana.

Scott understood.

Professor Flitwick uses the Iron Armor Charm, which is stronger than the "Armor Protection", in order to repair the lost power of the magic barrier.

Led by him, several other professors also raised their wands, chanted spells in their mouths, and kept sending silver rays of light into the parts of the magic barrier that were attacked by Voldemort.

Immediately afterward, even a small number of students who had learned the Iron Armor Spell began to try to use "armor to protect themselves" as a way to add bricks.

Scott didn't get involved in the work for the time being, but pulled out the [magic mirror].

He wondered why Dumbledore hadn't returned to Hogwarts yet.

It stands to reason that he should come back to preside over the overall situation as soon as he receives the news.

In the surveillance footage, the area around the Ministry of Magic is still covered in white fog, and the people of the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix seem to be cleaning the battlefield and repairing damaged buildings and streets.

A group of therapists in white robes shuttled back and forth, busy treating the wounded on the spot.

However, Scott switched to all angles of surveillance, but Dumbledore was never seen.

Feeling strange in his heart, he hurriedly tried to communicate with Rimbaud.

The connection was completed quickly.

"Oh, Scott, you're back at Hogwarts?"

Rimbaud asked in surprise when he saw where Scott was.

"Well, it's too late to explain." Scott said, "Do you know where Dumbledore went?" ”

"I know."

Rimbaud flapped his wings and nodded.

"After Voldemort and the Death Eaters retreated, your headmaster soon fell, and he seemed to be choking on exhaustion."

"This ......"

Scott was a little surprised, but understanding.

Today, Dumbledore and Voldemort have been fighting each other for a long time.

From the beginning of the battle to now, it has been almost an hour.

Dumbledore was still too old after all, and his physical strength had declined.

It seems that although he can maintain his peak combat power, he will not be able to fight for a long time.

"But he didn't faint."

Rimbaud said again.

"The phoenix took him and left."

"I see."

Scott didn't have time to talk to Ranpodo and hung up the communication.

So, where did Dumbledore go?

Scott glanced back at Hogwarts Castle.

Professor Flitwick had previously said that Professor McGonagall would only be able to mobilize some of the castle's defenses, perhaps......

Whether Dumbledore needed some time to regain his strength or some time to strengthen the castle's protective magic, they needed to survive during this time.

Thinking of this, Scott directly put away the [Magic Mirror], drew his wand, and began to recite the spell of the Iron Armor Spell as well.

At the same time, he was also observing the changes in the magic barrier.

With the addition of everyone, the situation has indeed improved.

If they continue to consume each other like this, even if Voldemort is now in person, it is unlikely that he will break through this magical barrier like the "original".

After all, the magic barrier in the "original book" was completely supported by a few wizards, and did not make use of the magic source of the castle itself.

But Scott wasn't 100% sure of his own inferences.

On the other hand, I don't want this war to end like this.

In any case, if more of Voldemort's forces can be consumed, this war can be considered profitable.

After making up his mind, Scott's consciousness connected to his four "summoned beasts" and conveyed his orders.

As soon as the order was delivered, he flew into the sky in the form of a peregrine falcon, stopped on the shoulder of the giant knight's stone statue, turned back into human form, and looked out the door and below at the team belonging to Voldemort.

At this point, he felt Voldemort floating farther up looking at him.

Even this glance through the magic barrier also made Scott clearly feel some kind of heavy pressure.

This kind of oppressive force is not explained by the oppression of the strong by the weak, but is more like a kind of crazy and bloody oppression of common sense.

It's like a normal person who sees a madman who doesn't care about anything, and they will feel a little hairy in their hearts.

Scott quickly calmed down, raised his head to meet Voldemort's eyes, and cast several Iron Charms in his direction in succession.

Voldemort's scarlet eyes narrowed, and he smiled at him with a bloody grin.

If I had followed my previous personality and style, I would never have been a leader like this.

Scott thought.

But at this moment, he still stood up.

Before he had time to think about his transformation, Scott smiled faintly at Voldemort.

At the same time, his hands kept moving, still repairing the magic barrier with the Iron Armor Charm with the others.

At the same time, in his perception, Horus and Edgar were already hiding in the woods on the left side of the road, and Sirein had also reached the woods on the right.

Voldemort didn't seem to expect an underage student to behave like this in his sight, and he looked at him deeply.

Taking advantage of Voldemort's attention to him, Scott directly ordered the "summoned beasts" to attack.

First, Horus's sturdy body rose into the sky, its broad wings reflecting golden light, and it rode a gust of wind, opening its mouth and spitting out a dense cloud of wind blades downward.

The white wind blades spread out in the crowd, and bright red blood flowers bloomed at the same time.

What reacted was that the Death Eaters hurriedly began to resist, especially the giants, who directly blocked in front of others with their huge bodies, swinging their huge palms to smash the wind blade.

By the time the Death Eaters waved their wands in response, Horus had already flown into the air in the wind.

The attack took place in an instant, and all the enemies outside the door, including Voldemort, stopped attacking the magic barrier.

In the midst of the chaos, Gorzan poked his head out of the ground and bit down on one of Fenrir Greyback's legs with open slam.

The notorious werewolf leader threw his head back and howled in pain.

The people around him hurriedly launched an attack on Gorzan, but they were all blocked by the rock armor that wrapped his body.

But Gorzan didn't stay long, but quickly let go of his mouth and sank into the ground.

Gorzan's toxin had little effect on the giants, but it was quite effective for the werewolves.

Even Fenrir Greyback, the strongest werewolf, was unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground in a short period of time.

Seeing this, the Death Eaters did not dare to gather together, so they quickly dispersed and began to attack the ground with magic, trying to find Gorzan who was hiding in the ground.

But their actions were apparently in vain, and Gorzan had already fled far away on Scott's orders.

Scott, who was standing on the shoulders of the giant knight's stone statue, saw this scene clearly, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

Both of these surprise attacks were quite effective, and at the very least, there was no one to attack the magic barrier anymore.

Voldemort in the sky was visibly displeased when he saw this.

He glanced at Scott again.

But to Sko's surprise, he ignored the chaos of his men and attacked the magic barrier again.

It's really calm.

Scott sighed to himself.

Or does the Dark Lord not care about the lives of his men?

Case......

In the next second, another black shadow flew up from the woods.

Edgar used [Flying's] "skill" to fly through the air like a shadow, opening his mouth to spit out a fiery line of fire.

On the other side of the line of fire, it was Voldemort himself in the air.

Voldemort, who was attacking the barrier of magic, did not look back.

A silver shield appeared out of thin air behind him, directly blocking the attack of the line of fire.

While blocking the line of fire, his attacks on the magic barrier did not even stop.

At this point, the Death Eaters below began to attack Edgar.

Wizards cast spells, vampires flew up in cloak-like voltbats, and giants simply waved the giant trees in their hands.

In the face of the siege, Edgar's choice was the same as Horus's, flying directly into the air like a sharp arrow.

It's fast, leaving attacks far behind, and in the process, it can even angle itself so that the lines of fire that erupt from its mouth are always scorching the silver shield behind Voldemort's back.

At the same time, or rather, while everyone's attention was drawn to Edgar, a huge water ball floated up from the trees.

It was Sirein who appeared.

It swam with its wagging tail, its sword-like upper jaw stabbing out a balloon of water, spitting out a slender blade of water and slamming it towards Voldemort's side.

Facing both [Water Blade] and [Lines of Fire], Voldemort finally stopped the spell in his hand once again attacking the magic barrier, and waved his wand to summon another silver shield to block the water blade.

But this was the moment Scott was waiting for, and at the moment when the water blade was blocked, Sirein immediately moved his body and changed his angle.

The white blade of water sliced through the air, slicing through the massive bodies of the two giants, and then turned red.

Then it went as fast as it went, beheading Fenrir Greyback, who was lying on the ground due to poisoning.

But Voldemort's counterattack was also launched.

Another giant python that had turned into fire shot towards the huge water ball.

Sirein immediately stopped spitting out the water blade, retreated into the balloon, and turned to leave.

But the water balloon was too big, and although it swam fast, it was clearly unable to escape from the fiery python's pursuit.

Scott is well aware of the weaknesses of the "summoned beasts", and due to the special materials made of them, they are "immune" to most spells, even the Death Reminder Charm.

For them, the Fire Spell is definitely the most targeted of the dark arts.

But fortunately, the four "summoned beasts" can cooperate with each other.

Just as Sirein's water balloon was overtaken by the fiery python, Horus descended from the sky, his wings flapping into the wind.

The swirling storm slammed directly into the fiery python.

Flames are extremely unstable, especially Fierce Fire, even Voldemort, his single-handed shape of Fierce Fire is brilliant, but in the face of the storm, the gathered Fierce Fire is still blown apart.

Voldemort's successive spells were dodged by Horus, and although Sirein's water balls were deformed and almost scattered under the attacks of several spells, Sirein, who was hiding in the center of the water balls, did not suffer direct damage.

It quickly shook its head and fled.

Voldemort did not pursue.

Because Edgar in the sky above was constantly changing the angle of the line of fire, Voldemort had to adjust the position of the silver shield accordingly.

At the moment when Sirein fled, Edgar moved sharply, sinking at the same time, sending the scorching flames through the vampire, and then it stopped spitting fire and flew away without looking back.

But the vampire, which is a flammable material, suffered in this instant, accompanied by a few screams, and almost the vampire directly turned into a fireball and fell from mid-air.

Before they could get close to the ground, their bodies were burned to the ground.

At this point, all four of Scott's "summoned beasts" have "retired".

Although they failed to kill the wizards of the Death Eaters, they were able to kill werewolves, giants, and vampires without any damage themselves.

Such a result was enough to satisfy Scott.

Not to mention, Horus's Wind Blade was caught off guard by many Death Eater wizards.

After that, Voldemort did not attack the magic barrier again, but turned into a black mist and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Scott turned around and made a gesture of "victory" to the professor and classmates below.

Before everyone had time to cheer, Dumbledore, with a phoenix on his hat, suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Due to the distance, Scott could not see his expression.

"Looks like you're going to be in the middle of it all this time, Tom!"

He said it out loud with a lot of breath.

At this moment, Scott saw Voldemort's somewhat angry face.

But the Dark Lord soon calmed down as well.

"Dumbledore!" Equally loudly, "You'd better keep Harry Potter in Hogwarts forever and keep him firmly behind you!" ”

"My students won't bother you, Tom!" Dumbledore said.

"Hahaha......"

Voldemort threw his head back and laughed several times.

"It's okay, Dumbledore, I still have a lot of time, I just don't know how much time you have left."

"Oh, thank you for your concern, Tom, and although I don't have much time left, I'm only a small part of the wizarding world, and I'm not the one who decides a lot of things."

The two chatted through the door.

"What I hate most is your hypocrisy, Dumbledore! Look outside, it's also a result of your students. ”

Hearing this, Scott narrowed his eyes.

"I asked, it's a student named Scott Trollope, what a good boy, Scott!"

"Your bloody cruelty is no less than mine, hahahaha...... I wonder what Dumbledore should do to you? ”

After a few words of sow discord, Voldemort gave Scott a meaningful look.

Immediately afterward, he and the guys under his command directly apparition and left.

Even a few of the giants who survived were taken away by them.
