Chapter Ninety-Eight Before the War

Previous Chapter

This is really bombshell news!A wry smile tugged at the corners of Joe's mouth. I am on a par with Rhine, and I will meet him wherever I go!

What to do? Escape, stay, fight? Joe's mind began to ponder.

With one enemy and a hundred, the battle of turning the tide of one person is not non-existent in the wizarding world, starting from the professor level, the power of the crowd tactics began to be greatly weakened, to the extent that Dumbledore and Voldemort are like them, and the effect of ordinary crowd tactics is already minimal.

After the magic transformation, his magic power has reached the level of an ordinary adult wizard, and it should not be a big problem to face the tough Aurors, and he can fight in a short time against the elite Aurors. I believe that even those famous wizards in the legend will not be much stronger than themselves at this age. But these are still not enough on the battlefield.

What is the battlefield? Joe, who had a Vietnam War veteran in his previous life, knew it very well. The battlefield is not an anti-Japanese drama, you can tear devils apart and single-handedly fight aircraft and artillery. The battlefield is death, a meat grinder, a hell of blood and fire. In that place, it was not just guns, grenades, rocket launchers, tanks, planes that were deadly. Flying shrapnel, a wave of cannonballs, or a bullet bouncing off a wall can kill you with ease. Even if you're a wizard with supernatural powers, you'll have to respect Newton's second law in the face of a storm of metal.

Joe had to think about it! Oh my God, I'm going to have a headache for a while!

But fortunately, the patriarch's treatment was quite powerful, lying down for a while, drinking a bowl of potions, and using the effect of the energy ring to forcibly put the brain into a deep sleep for a few hours, Joe's body finally recovered almost. He got out of bed and visited the Guardians' quarters.

It is a small village, and judging by the number of houses, there are probably less than 500 people living here. Based on this calculation, there are only about 100 guardians who can go to the battlefield after removing the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the ratio of the number of the two sides is an astonishing 1 to 10, and the number is directly crushed. What about combat effectiveness? Joe estimated where the Rhine had gathered a large number of werewolves. His soldiers also had tanks and helicopters at their disposal. With such strength, even if more than 100 people on the guardian's side can cast a bow and cast spells, they may not be able to fight with one as ten.

That's why the patriarch wants to fight for Joe's power as an outsider! Yes, you read that right, as soon as Joe heard Sally Ye's request, she knew that her father must be behind her back, otherwise with Sally Ye's arrogant character, she wouldn't have said such a shameful thing if she was killed.

So, what should Joe choose? to stay and help the Guardians fight for the slim hope. Or should we leave immediately, away from these rights and wrongs, to protect ourselves?

After thinking about it for a long time, Joe decided to choose to stay. Because of one person he had to stay - Julie.

From Germany, to here, Julie has done enough. Joe's magical materials were precious, but they weren't necessary for a non-research wizard, and even for that, she didn't have to let the family shop cooperate with Joe's small movements, let alone accompany him to explore dangerous ruins and fight fierce werewolves and cruel dark wizards. In the final analysis, Julie was able to accompany her to Germany and then to Siberia, in the final analysis, it was not for any so-called transaction or benefit, but the friendship that the two people had accumulated over the years.

Even though Joe can ignore honor in battle, play tricks, and be scheming and ruthless in doing things, Joe has never been able to be hard-hearted in the face of a person who treats him sincerely. This is also the reason why he will confess to his parents early, feel guilty about Hermione's petrification, and complete the magical transformation after Luna is captured, even if he dies, he will have to fight Riddle.

Joe believes that Julie must be looking for herself, and that she must be looking for her. So she must still be somewhere in the Siberian mountains. If the Guardians fail and Rhine gains dominion over the region, Julie's situation will be in jeopardy. But on the contrary, if he can help the Guardian defeat the Rhine's army, then the Guardian must be willing to help find Julie, these people are all land snakes in the land of Siberia, with their help, then the possibility of finding Julie is greatly increased.

So in the end, Joe approached the patriarch and said that he was willing to join the side of the Guardians, but there were several requirements.

First, as a wizard with first-class reclusive ability, he will not go to the frontal battlefield. But accordingly, he will go around to the rear of the enemy and conduct guerrilla warfare.

At first, the patriarch was hesitant, but when Joe performed the Illusion Charm and the Animagus Transfiguration, as well as some special operations techniques learned from Muggle soldiers, the two sides quickly came to an agreement.

Second, the battlefield is not child's play, a small accident can kill him, and he needs to protect himself as much as possible. Therefore, he only guarantees that he will do his best on the battlefield, but he is not responsible for things that are beyond his ability.

After hearing this, the patriarch nodded, and directly agreed.

Third, friendship is friendship, he is also a realistic person, since he helped, then he had to ask for the corresponding remuneration after the war.

After hearing this, the patriarch stared at Qiao for a long time, sighed, shook his head, and agreed directly without asking for anything.

In this way, Joe and the Guardians have temporarily reached a united front.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and at dawn on the fourth day, the old and weak, the sick and the disabled of the guardians had moved to a very secluded place on the edge of the village, and more than a hundred warriors had already assembled at the entrance of the village, lined up in a dense phalanx, looking majestic. These are the elite of the Guardians, young and strong, most of whom can cast spells at the level of ordinary Aurors, and they are the main force to resist this attack.

The crowd fell silent, and the patriarch walked to the front of the group and began to speak. He has a personable demeanor and a very enthusiastic voice, like a battle-hardened general, a king who has been in charge of the royal conquest, domineering, noble, and involuntarily convinced. With such a temperament, it is difficult to compare him with a village chief hiding in a ravine.

He exclaimed, "My people, my friends, my warriors, a dark force that wants to invade our world, it wants to take what we want to protect, it wants to destroy everything we hold dear, can we tolerate them bullying us?"

"Can't!" shouted the warriors below.

"Although the enemy is stronger than us, ten times more numerous, they are not invincible!" the patriarch waved his arms impassionedly, "We are the masters of this land, we know this place well, we have the blessings left by our ancestors, and we have the defenses that have been arranged by generations of clansmen for thousands of years. But most of all, I see in you patience, unity, and trust. ”

He looked at the eager eyes of the warriors, and continued: "We have lived here for a thousand years, this is our home, if anyone dares to attack, what will we do!"

"Destroy them!" replied loudly as the warriors raised their right hands.

"Very good!" the patriarch pressed his palm to signal everyone to be quiet, "Then let's start fighting!"
