The Dementors in the valley had almost lost the courage to resist at this point, and the scattered Death Eaters had been wiped out, and some of the Dementors began to attack the Patronus Charm enchantment set by Dumbledore in vain, and some began to beg for mercy loudly with magic: "We are willing to surrender!

――

"Hmph, these rotten things, when they suck the souls of Muggles everywhere in Britain, don't want to show mercy to their subordinates. Fudge was a little moved, but then he remembered the trouble the Dementors had caused him, and the case of the Dementor attack had put him under tremendous pressure from the entire wizarding world and even the Muggle Prime Minister, and he couldn't relent!

"That team of wizards over there! Give this valley a stunner spell, I don't want to hear the Dementors cry wolf. Scrimgeour shouted an order to the wizard not far away, while sentencing the Dementors to death: "No one left!"

――

Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction, he also supported this decisive and somewhat cruel approach, and was glad that he didn't have to give such an order that could leave him with infamy.

"Gildero!" Lockhart was smug about his ability to make soy sauce, and was coldly called by Dumbledore's name, his legs so weak that he could barely step on the broom brackets.

, you old guys just want to blow and chat, why do you want to involve me? Lockhart was very dissatisfied, but obviously he couldn't hide in the crowd anymore, so he had to take off his mask and float in front of the group of big guys with a broomstick.

"What do you command, Mr. Headmaster?"

"Gildero, why are you here too?" Fudge was also surprised to see his granddaughter's boyfriend here, "You are also a Order of the Phoenix?"

"I'm sorry to keep it a secret from you, Mr. Minister. Lockhart greeted him and apologized. "But my relationship with Pandora is real and I only joined recently. ”

"Little Gildero, what do you think of Albus getting this honor for you?" Moody looked at Lockhart with a scarred face like a cat looking at a fish, "It's enough to make you famous!"

"I don't care about fame!" Lockhart tried to struggle, but realized it was too late to tell him.

"I don't force you, Gidero. But you're the right fit, you're strong enough to deal with some retaliation, and your title of 'the man best at dealing with dark magic' is enough to intimidate some minor characters. On top of that, you're a professor and you can stay at Hogwarts all the time, or at headquarters...... Such a safe place. Dumbledore didn't seem to care about Lockhart's attitude, but what he said made Lockhart unable to continue refusing: "Of course, if you insist, then let Granger's kid enjoy the honor himself." ”

If Hermione Granger, a student at Hogwarts, had given the Ministry of Magic a good idea to find the Dementors and destroy them, Hermione wouldn't have been able to come to Hogwarts alive next semester.

It's so vicious, old man!"I've got this pot on my back!" Lockhart cried out in despair and grief, "I'm never going to leave Hogwarts again!" "Why was he just being pulled over to make up for it, and he could do such a big thing?" and he became the planner of the event?

Scrimgeour had a strange smile on his face, "Very well, your fame is now more than that of a savior, Gildero......" What he didn't say was that he didn't have to ask Harry Potter to say good things about the Ministry of Magic, because Lockhart was a former Auror (although he didn't work for a few years), and his glory was, in a sense, the achievement of the Ministry.

Now the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix were overjoyed, and Dumbledore smiled and nodded: "Then it's so happily decided, the Dementors below have almost been killed." ”

At this point, both the barrier set by the Ministry of Magic and the Scope Patronus Charm cast by Dumbledore began to shrink into the valley, forcing the remaining Dementors even more helpless, and they could only hide in the caves where they were hiding, or desperately try to break out.

Seeing that the support of the Death Eaters and Mysteries was also impossible, the Aurors and the strikers also began to encircle the Dementors, and after ten minutes of final battle, the valley was no longer alive, and the ground was littered with mutilated corpses, pieces of cloth, some of the Death Eaters, and some of the Dementors killed by spells - although the Dementors looked like ghosts, they were actually creatures that could be killed with normal spells.

"Alright, let them come back. Dumbledore drew his wand leisurely, "Life banishment!"

The familiar, Voldemort-like feeling came from Dumbledore, and the wizards around him felt a sharp discomfort, but it was only psychological, and it didn't cause any harm.

Some of the Dementors hiding in the caves were frightened by the Life Expulsion Charm and were immediately killed by the wizards on broomsticks, but a large number were still hiding in the caves.

"The flames are blazing. Dumbledore used the fire spell he was most familiar with, and golden-red flames erupted from the tip of the Elder's wand and surged downward, so hot that in a moment it ignited the snow-covered woods below.

"What are you doing?" Moody muttered, "you can force all the Dementors out by manual search." ”

"That's a waste of time, Alasto. Dumbledore gripped his wand and continued to spew flames, "And the woods below have long been plagued by the Dementors and have lost their vitality, and I now give the new saplings that are about to grow a chance to soak up the sun." ”

"You old guy is so crooked......" Moody stopped talking, watching as the wizard below rode out of the fire on a broomstick, and then the raging flames swept through the valley, steaming the snow into a large white mist that looked like a post-apocalyptic scene, and the firelight dimmed the few fluorescence techniques used to illuminate the sky.

Under Scrimgeour's command, the wizards began to use magic at the edge of the valley to stop the wildfires, and the flames swept everywhere, and Dementors could occasionally be seen flying out of their hideouts on fire. More Dementors are suffocated or scalded to death in caves......

The flames lasted for more than half an hour, during which time they chatted for a while about the bad things the Dementors had done in Britain this year, but this qiē was about to pass. After feeling the same, Dumbledore put away the flames, and then carried a huge amount of water from the ice lake not far away, and poured it onto the fire, and with the help of hundreds of wizards, the fire was quickly extinguished.

The wizard of the magical creature management control division went down to the charred valley ground and began to clean up the final battlefield, while the bigwigs above were still chatting happily.

"The mysterious man really didn't show up, hehe. Moody grinned.

"Dumbledore, how is it going now that you left the Ministry of Magic and decided to deal with Voldemort's Horcruxes alone......" Scrimgeour couldn't help but ask, "How many have you destroyed?"

"Actually, we still don't even know how many of Voldemort's Horcruxes there are," Dumbledore didn't want to say more, but he didn't lie, "What, does the Ministry of Magic have any news about this?"

"Hmph, the Order of the Phoenix is so awesome that you haven't even figured out how many Horcruxes there are?" Scrimgeour said bitterly, "Unfortunately, I don't have any sources of information and can't help." ”

Dumbledore didn't argue with Scrimgeor, instead turned to Moody and Lockhart, "There's nothing to do with us here, we can go back now and study that Slytherin locket." ”

"What?" Scrimgeour's face changed, and he immediately looked at Lockhart, as if he wanted to ask clearly, but reason immediately made him look back at Dumbledore: "Oh, well, you guys go slowly, don't send it." ”

Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately Scrimgeour was a smart man and didn't reveal the secret of the exchange of information between them. At this time, the Floo network here has been restored, and at Dumbledore's signal, Lockhart and Moody have apparitioned back to Hogwarts with Dumbledore.
