Chapter 327: The Death of Diagon Alley (3)
When Ike followed Lao Fu into Diagon Alley, the first thing he saw was a corpse in the middle of the street. The blood had flowed all over the ground, and had dried up a lot under the flames that still burned in the houses on both sides.
Lao Fu didn't dislike it at all, raised his foot and stepped on the blood, leaving a clear footprint in place. After a few more steps forward, he stopped, looked back slightly, looked at the row of bright red footprints behind him, and laughed suddenly.
In the distance, explosions and screams mingled into Lao Fu's ears. The corners of his mouth became more and more curved, and his face naturally showed a look of enjoyment.
"Master......" A short, bald, ugly man trotted over, knelt down in front of the old man, and kissed his feet tremblingly, it was Peter Pettigrew.
He was not surprised that Peter Pettigrew appeared here, and with a slight flick of his wand, Peter Pettigrew's body rose.
"Wormtail, didn't you join in the other people's?" Lao Fu asked softly.
"The host...... I think...... I want to greet you......" Peter Pettigrew said timidly, hanging his head.
Lao Fu didn't reply, but just glanced at him meaningfully, then flicked his sleeves and walked along the road to the battlefield ahead. Peter Pettigrew didn't dare to look up until Ike passed by and patted him lightly, straightened up slightly, and trotted to lead the way.
Ike was quiet and didn't squint. And there was no need for him to look closely, the houses on either side were in ruins or on fire, and they said it all.
In the air, the smell of barbecue meat kept drilling into the nose, and corpses could be seen everywhere, and the tragic scene was no longer a human purgatory. Occasionally, there was a groan, and after a little look, it was either a werewolf or a dark wizard, who had lost his arms and legs, and the big wounds were imprinted on his body, looking like he was dying.
They all want to live, so they struggle hard when Lao Fu and Ike pass by, as if they want to climb to the two of them. However, before they could leave, the two had already walked away.
"It's a necessary dedication, Ike." Lao Fu's voice slowly drifted into Ike's ears, which were full of cold blood.
"I understand, teacher." Ike kept walking and whispered, "It's for the greater good......
"For the greater good......" Lao Fu paused, this sentence made him think a lot, but he also had to admit that in this situation, it was the most appropriate.
And just like that, step by step, they finally came to the forefront of the battle.
With mental calculation or unintentionality, the guards of the Ministry of Magic are losing and retreating, and now there is no way to retreat. Behind them was the closed golden gate of Gringotts, with a glittering streamer of light, as if all the protective magic had been activated.
The elves refused to get involved in the wizards' battles, and were completely neutral. It can be said that there is no fear, after all, they have controlled the wizarding economy for hundreds of years, and no one can leave them.
What's more, even in the last wizarding war, Lao Fu did not attack Gringotts.
To put it mildly, I'm not afraid at all!
There were others who were afraid: the guards of the Ministry of Magic, the patrolling Aoro, the shopkeepers of Diagon Alley, and the hapless pedestrians, the small clearing in front of Gringotts was their only place to stay, surrounded by Death Eaters and Dark Wizards.
Suddenly! The fierce attack came to an abrupt end, and the faces of the survivors couldn't help but show the joy of the rest of their lives, and most of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Then...... They briefly forgot how to inhale......
The crowd naturally branched out into a path, and the two figures slowly walked over one after the other. When Lao Fu's iconic terrifying face appeared in front of them, an even stronger despair instantly enveloped all the survivors.
"Black ...... The Dark Lord! A voice screamed, and then it acted like a switch, setting off a continuous, shrill shout.
Panic, complete panic! The appearance of Lao Fu directly robbed them of the courage to continue defending, and some people even fainted directly to the ground. In just an instant, they became chicks who had no fighting spirit and could only be slaughtered.
"Tut-tut......" Lao Fu shook his head, with a look of disdain on his face, turned to look at Ike and said, "Are these people threatening to defeat me?" ”
"Yes, teacher." Ike nodded and said.
"Ah, that's a real disappointment...... Look at them, they don't even have the courage to point their wands at me. Lao Fu said disdainfully, his red pupils scanned the people in front of him, but he only saw them unconsciously lowering their heads, avoiding his gaze.
"Rubbish!"
As soon as Lao Fu's words fell, the Death Eaters burst into earth-shattering laughter, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world. Lao Fu also smiled, but compared to others, his laughter was full of killing intent.
Ike watched the scene quietly, without any expression on his face, and was the only one who didn't smile. This naturally attracted Lao Fu's attention.
"Ike, don't you think it's ridiculous?" As soon as Lao Fu raised his hand, the laughter stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes fell on Ike who was calm as usual.
"A flock of lambs to the slaughter, teacher, I don't think it's an honour to kill them." Ike said softly.
His eyes fell straight on the trembling crowd. There are many acquaintances, Ao Luo, who I have seen before, the owner of a second-hand bookstore, and the clerks of the Blotted Bookstore and the Upper Clothing Store. The light of yesteryear is long gone, and only deep fear remains.
"Ah, yes." Lao Fu nodded, and a smile appeared on his face again, but this time it was extremely cruel.
He waved his hand, and Bella immediately threw out a death curse, and the spells of the others flew like rain.
Although the survivors lost their courage, they would bite like rabbits that had been cornered, and the moment the old man fell, they worked together to support a defense, and barely faced this wave of fierce attacks.
But that's all there is to it, as the second wave of spells arrives, the protection shatters!
"Hahaha...... Arvada nibbles on big melons! Bella laughed excitedly and threw out a death curse again, which directly ended up being a flustered unlucky bastard. Under the impact of the spell, the corpse flew directly into the crowd, and also smashed into several people who couldn't dodge.
The people scattered and fled, except in the direction of Lao Fu and Ike, and everywhere else they were forced to run out under the spell, but most of them died on the way.
There was still success, and a dozen people broke through the defenses of werewolves and dark wizards and ran towards the depths of Diagon Alley. Seeing this, those werewolves and dark wizards who had broken through only felt shameless and ashamed, and directly followed after them.
"Sure enough, it's a bunch of waste ......," Lao Fu said coldly, making the Death Eaters who remained in place shiver.
His eyes swept over, and no one around dared to stay where he was.
Except for Ike.
