Chapter 242: Scuffle

"I guess most of them have been controlled with confusion charms or Imperius curses, and if they hadn't been charged, they might have stood by and watched......" Scrimgeour looked at Dumbledore: "The key to this battle is that the mystery man must be defeated! Inform all the Aurors scattered throughout Britain to stop the mission and immediately find a way to assemble at the secret Auror stronghold in London." ”

Gadwin immediately began to follow Scrimgeur's instructions and contact the other Aurors on the mission.

"Headmaster, how sure are you about the mystery man?" Lockhart looked at Dumbledore uneasily.

"Contrary to Rufus's thoughts, I think the key to this battle is your ...... Against Voldemort, there is absolutely no way to tell the winner in a short period of time. Dumbledore also frowned, this conspiracy against the Ministry of Magic has obviously been brewing for a long time, just wait for Hogwarts to start school, the other party should have a way to deal with him, but this idea is also to increase panic. "Gildero, you can try to get the staff of the Ministry of Magic to help you. ”

"If I were to find such a situation, I would definitely wait for the two sides to decide the winner and work for the winning side. Lockhart honestly admitted: "Not to mention that the main forces and officials must be on the opposite side, or they are controlled by the Imperius curse." ”

"That's right, we're going to be ready to take on the entire Ministry of Magic. Scrimgeour also nodded: "Even if the other party has an ambush, I'm afraid we will have to drill into it honestly, after all, now that our strength is still complete, it is impossible to watch them slowly take control of the Ministry of Magic and ignore it." ”

――

After a few hours of flight, they landed at the secret Auror stronghold in London, and the Death Eaters had occupied the Ministry of Magic for less than half a day, apparently before they had time to press a few Aurors who had surrendered, so the stronghold was safe for the time being.

Here, the Order of the Phoenix met with all the Aurors except for those who couldn't make it in time, or who were trapped in the Ministry of Magic.

"Shall I go to the Ministry of Magic now?"

"Immediately, every minute of delay, the Mystic Man has a little more control over the Ministry of Magic!" Scrimgeour said categorically, "Simply arrange the mission and set off right away." ”

Scrimgeour had been the Auror Supervisor for many years, and his tough attitude and resolute style made him so popular with the Aurors that he had long since become the spiritual leader of the Aurors, and almost everyone followed him without objection, ready to rebel against the entire Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters. Even if some were reluctant, they knew in their hearts that the Aurors were too aggressive in the long war against the Death Eaters, and even if they surrendered, there would be absolutely no good fruit to eat.

"Statham Lee, you team, go directly to the Department of Transportation, take control of the facilities of the Floo Network Administration, and be ready to listen to my command at any time to restore the Fù national Floo network, if there is an unfavorable situation, this is the only way to retreat. ”

"Gadwin, you lead another team and attack the logistics department to find a way to turn off the Ministry of Magic's defensive magic, which they may use to influence the duel between Dumbledore and the Mystery. ”

"Dawlis and Kingsley are here too!Very good, at this time the Muggle Prime Minister will kill him!" Scrimgeour nodded, "Alastor, you take the two of them to the dungeon managed by the underground strikers, and release the colleagues and allies who may be locked inside, if you see the dark wizard who has not been released, kill it directly, it is all repeat offenders, and the British will be in chaos when they are released!"

"I would have killed them when I knew I had captured them!" Moody said viciously, "How could I have thought that the Ministry of Magic would fall one day!"

"Don't complain, Alasto, I can't think of it either—the others, join me and Dumbledore in dealing with the Mysteries!"

"Yes!"

――

It was already the middle of the night, and a team of Britain's best wizards flocked to the hidden entrance of the Ministry of Magic in the night. Dumbledore, Moody, Scrimthour, of course, now Lockhart's strength is not weak, plus Blake and Lupin, and more than forty Aurors - such a combination can easily wipe out the wizarding world in some small countries, even in countries like France and Germany, under normal circumstances, it is enough to enter and exit their Ministry of Magic.

But what they have to deal with now is the British Ministry of Magic, which has raised the highest level of security and has the most security personnel, plus the strongest Dark Wizard, and a large number of his Death Eaters, most of whom are crazy pedigrees, although pure blood does not mean strong, but the Death Eaters who can get the mark of the Dark Devil are definitely not as weak as Lucius Malfoy.

――

The group of people with the Auror Pass and the permission were not hindered by the Ministry's defensive magic - apparently, the Death Eaters had not had time to change the defensive magic settings, and they made their way into the underground Ministry of Magic.

"Old fellow, wait for you for a while......" As soon as he came out of the fireplace, a cold greeting came to everyone's ears, and then there was a violent white light, and the bursting shock wave made people's faces hurt.

The moment they arrived in the halls of the Ministry of Magic, Voldemort launched an attack on them, and before the others could react, Dumbledore had already blocked the attack and protected them.

Looking up, hundreds of wizards were standing at the Ministry of Magic's security counter, looking at them with a mocking smile, Voldemort at the front, and Minister of Magic, Fudge, standing behind him.

"Ahem!" Scrimgeour coughed deliberately, assigned to the task team, and went straight to the mission location, although the wizards on Voldemort's side were surprised that they still dared to divide their troops in such an unfavorable situation, but they did not stop it.

"Dumbledore, I already knew you had the idea of overthrowing me, but luckily Mr. Riddle reminded me this time that I should have been caught. Fudge seemed to be really angry, and accused Dumbledore in a trembling voice: "Surrender, you will get a fair trial." ”

"Don't talk, he's under the Imperius Curse......" Scrimgeour whispered to Dumbledore, who nodded slightly.

"And you!Rufus, I'm not kind to you, how can you help Dumbledore rebel against me at this time?" Fudge looked at Scrimgeur, "If you have any grievances against my policy, you can bring it up!"

Hey, well, it's good if we can get them out of the Ministry of Magic this time, but if they don't succeed, I'm afraid they will be labeled as following Dumbledore's rebellion, and then waiting to be wanted by the Ministry of Magic indefinitely!

Lockhart looked at a familiar figure beside Voldemort, Barty Crouch Jr., who looked at the besieged Aurors and the Order of the Phoenix with a smug expression. Could it be that he was planning this plan from beginning to end? It is very likely that he was a very cunning fellow, and at the same time he was trusted by Voldemort, who was even rescued by Voldemort himself the last time he was arrested.

"Don't talk about that useless, Tom. Dumbledore didn't look at Fudge at all, and spoke directly to the mastermind behind the scenes: "There must be an end between us, if you defeat me, you can make it up however you want, and if you can't ......"

"You're always on the point, Mr. Headmaster. Voldemort walked out, and Lockhart noticed that he had changed his wand, and suddenly remembered that he should have brought Harry here, wouldn't he be able to destroy one of Voldemort's wands. "Don't put on a pretentious look, I hate your expression!" Voldemort's barely lipsed mouth cracked open in annoyance: "Do you think you can leave alive today?"

"A lot of dark wizards have told me like you, Tom. Dumbledore smiled lightly, "The grass next to their tombstones is a few feet tall now. ”

Voldemort didn't continue to speak, arguing with Dumbledore, and he lost at the beginning - Dumbledore didn't call him Voldemort but called him Tom affectionately, as if he were still his student, and suppressed him from beginning to end in terms of momentum. It made him even more annoyed—but he tried to calm himself: Today, he had won.

"Do it!" Voldemort waved his wand and attacked Dumbledore first.

Hundreds of Death Eaters and the accused Ministry of Magic security guards shouted at the Aurors and the Order of the Phoenix members, the number ratio was one hundred to thirty, and the Aurors far outnumbered the other side, but unfortunately, in such a frontal group fight, the individual soldiers played a small role.

Voldemort's and Dumbledore's spells collided together, causing a violent shock wave, and both warring sides chose to stay away from the midfield. Lockhart leaned over and dodged a few jumble spells while firing back. In this kind of melee, one will be hit if he is not careful, so he put an iron armor spell on himself, and even released the vajra cover before continuing to fight.

How did you get it like this, it's fucking up...... This morning he was still a fighter against the dark arts, and he also claimed to hunt down Voldemort, and suddenly the situation was reversed, and he became a rebel, and was besieged by a large number of wizards. This qiē was like a dream, and Lockhart tried to wake himself up, but was hit by a red light, and he suddenly came to his senses.

There are people on both sides who have fallen, even if they have great skills and superb combat skills, as long as they do not reach the level of Dumbledore, in this kind of melee, once they are unlucky and set on fire, they will lie down in seconds!

"Rufus, how are the other two teams?" Seeing that Louise was knocked unconscious by a few spells in front of him, Lockhart put on a vajra mask on himself again to improve his self-protection ability, and asked Scrimgeour loudly, if they couldn't control the traffic division, they might have a hard time running.

"The Department of Communications has taken custody, there is no one in the underground cell, but the logistics department is guarded by a large number of Death Eaters, so beware of the Ministry of Magic's defense against magical attacks!" Scrimgeour suddenly shouted.

Huge magical runes suddenly appeared on the walls around the hall of the Ministry of Magic, and then a white spell was fired, hitting Dumbledore, knocking him to a stumbling ground and nearly falling. Voldemort used dark magic unscrupulously, and his strength was already abnormally strong, and Dumbledore, who had been weakened once by the ring Horcrux, relied on the Elder Wand in his hand to barely tie with him, but now the defensive magic of the Ministry of Magic suddenly began to help the other party, and Dumbledore couldn't bear it.

"Oops, it's the magic cannon that the Ministry of Magic was going to use against a powerful wizard breaking in! Scrimgeour was in a hurry, "Albus, the magic cannon won't turn, just dodge!"
