Chapter 363: Artillery Washing

When Tonks stepped on deck with his front feet.

The twins realized that someone had boarded the ship.

Their ship has the magic of induction, and it is easy to sense intruders.

"Someone's coming!" Fred said.

"But—how could anyone find out about us?" George rushed to the rudder and, after inspecting it, said, "No problem! The illusion spell is good. ”

"It must be something else." Hermione interrupted, "It's Tonks. ”

Looking at the figure walking into the cabin, Hermione recognized her at a glance.

That pink hair is so iconic.

She had seen the girl at Sirius' brother Regulus's funeral before.

During the tournament, she was also in charge of security around Hogwarts.

It's an acquaintance.

"How are you!"

When Tonks walked into the cabin, he glanced at the crowd.

His face immediately became serious.

"You should be in London now, in your respective homes, not here."

"I'm going to inform Professor McGonagall right away!" She said.

These little guys are really not afraid of death.

A Gryffindor student – oh! She had forgotten that there was an heir to Gryffindor over there

She knows best what the sea ahead is now.

As a liaison, she knew both wizarding and Muggle intelligence.

And she didn't mention the fact that there was a wonderful glass screen on the Muggle ship that was showing the battle ahead.

In short—there is now a situation where the wizard has died.

The corrosive fire of the Omen Legion caught most wizards off guard.

On the one hand, it is true that this creature is too weird, and they have never been in contact with it, on the other hand, it is also caused by the wizard's casting habits, after all, most of the time modern wizards deal with dark wizards, like this strange creature, they will never see it once in their lives, and it is normal for the situation to occur.

And on the battlefield where adult wizards can suffer casualties, it is simply hell for young wizards.

Of course she would be in a hurry.

"Wait!" Fred jumped out and asked in confusion, "Tell me first, how did you find us, you also have Professor Moody's magic eye?" ”

He stared into Tonks' eyes for a long time, but he didn't see the slightest possibility that those jet-black eyes were magic eyes.

"On Muggle warships, there's something called — well- what kind of radar is called, and your ship is a very clear little green dot on their screen anyway, and they'll spot you when they're miles away."

"It's just that they're not sure who you are, otherwise they would have opened fire a long time ago."

Tonks, with his pink hair stained with rain, held a wand in one hand and a broom in the other, looked at the crowd with a calm face.

"Radar?" The twins touch their heads, what is that?

"Radar!" Hermione said in surprise, "Radar can spot the ship of the Illusion Charm, oh! Yes - the Illusion Charm only makes the ship transparent, not makes it disappear. In that case, the invisibility cloak has no effect on radar! ”

"Yes." Tonks shook his head rather unhappily, "They also have several kinds of glasses - what are they called thermal imagers, infrared sensing. They can't see it, but they do find our traces. ”

Speaking of this, Tonks's face suddenly showed indignation.

Judging by her reaction, she must have been pulled out by Muggles like this, which is why the tone of her voice suddenly became so heavy.

"Huh?" The twins let out a sound of surprise, and then immediately showed excitement, "Do you have that kind of thing, can you lend it to us to study?" ”

"No, I'm busy, you turn around and head back to the island now—" Tonks was about to speak, but suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking.

Then, she took a few steps back, holding her wand in her right ear, and she could see that she seemed to have a headset or something in her ear.

It was a few seconds before she spoke again, "Yes- I'm busy again, the Muggle Fleet Commander is going to carry out an artillery strike on the Eastern Front, let me go and disperse the wizards now." ”

"I don't understand, how I can become a Muggle subordinate now."

As she spoke, she looked back at the group of young wizards present.

"Forget it, I know you're not leaving, Gryffindor - I don't have time to keep an eye on you.

You guys are on the periphery to help save people, there are too many Muggles in the water, remember not to go near the maelstrom, don't go near the maelstrom, don't go near the maelstroms!! ”

"I don't care if I lose my life!"

With that, Tonks immediately turned around.

The commander of the Muggle fleet was very unkind to him.

She was also given the code name of the Demon Girl, and on the ship, the surveillance of her did not stop for a moment.

After they know that they can change their appearance at will.

In fact, she knew—not just the Muggle fleet—that the entire Muggle government was upset with them!

In the eyes of the heads of state, this matter was provoked by your sorcerers.

Whatever the reason!

Today, the cost of cities along the Mediterranean coast alone has exceeded trillions of dollars.

And that's not even counting the casualties and the subsequent reconstruction.

Such huge losses are enough to bankrupt countries such as Italy and Greece.

And wizards, can they compensate Muggles for their losses?

It's impossible to look at it - how could the Muggle leaders possibly have a good face.

They didn't give the order, they blew the wizard into the sky together, and they gave advance notice - it was already the most conscientious in so many years.

And with Tonks leaving, in the cabin, the little wizards looked at each other, and Ron, George, and Fred were full of doubts.

When did wizards and Muggles get so close?

Is the sun coming out of the west?

I don't understand.

Since they didn't understand, they didn't think about it, and Fred returned to the sailboat, drove at full speed, and continued into the depths of the sea.

And Hermione and Harry—they'd rather see wizards and Muggles talking, so maybe wizards wouldn't have to hide in the future.

At least some cooperation can be reached.

Although the current exchange is not very pleasant, it is better to communicate than not to communicate, and I hope this incident is a good start.

——————————

At this time, on the other side of the sea.

Eastern Front of the Battlefield.

The monstrous brown waters were crashing against the wizards' lines.

Although after the war, the wizards of various countries finally showed some real skills. But the front is still constantly being moved back, and they are only slowing down.

Originally, after some wizards began to use some powerful black magic, the barely able front could withstand it.

But with some wizards there were casualties.

The evil omen born of wizarding flesh is more than a little more powerful than that of Muggles.

The brown flame turned into a white and black cold fire.

This kind of flame seemed to burn the soul, and it was sprinkled in one piece, and the iron armor spell could not resist it at all, and a large number of wizards were killed on the spot.

The flesh was swallowed by the sea, and in the next second, they became part of the twisted limbs, and a new child of evil omen was born.

Against such flames, the wizard could barely resist by using a spell, but - their numbers were still too small.

It's impossible for wizards to deal with the Children of Omen, and at the same time deal with this new foe with black and white flames.

This caused their front to move back.

"What about Egypt's support forces? Africa, ask for help from the Vagado School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! ”

Theseus grimaced, and asked the Aurors beside him.

It was a Greek Auror, about fifty years of age, with short dirty blond hair and a pure white robe trimmed with gold trim at the cuffs and collar.

The family crest on his chest shone brightly, he came from some ancient pure-blood wizard family.

Another guy who came to power on Kim Gallon.

A hint of disgust flashed in Theseus's eyes, but he still questioned patiently, the other party was the deputy director of the Auror Command Office of the Greek Ministry of Magic, and now was not the time for internal friction.

"Vagado School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the liaison of the Federation has rushed over, Nordic, the people from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have arrived and joined the northern line on the spot, and the Kordos Torres School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is on the southern front."

"Most of the Aurors of Egypt joined the fighting on the Southern Front."

"Kodos Torres School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? Russians? Theseus' eyelids jumped, "They are here too." ”

The Kordos Torres School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is located in Russia, the exact location is unknown, but it is said that it is near Moscow.

The Russian Ministry of Magic - no- it should be the Soviet-lian Ministry of Magic and the Federation that are at a standoff, because they don't abide by the Secrecy Law very much, and the wizards there are close to Muggles and refuse to infiltrate European wizarding culture.

For example, in the Quidditch match at the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Kodos Doris, young wizards are played on a moving war tree, and only the Russian Quidditch national team uses a broomstick.

It's a compromise!

If it weren't for the World Cup, they wouldn't have ridden a broomstick!

This is the same as the great powers of the Far East.

They treat the Secrecy Act as waste paper, and they have their own set of rules for wizarding Muggles.

In principle, the Ministry of Magic of the Ming Dynasty agreed that the wizards should be hidden as a whole.

But how exactly to hide, on the route, they have huge differences with the federation.

Theseus had heard that the wizards over there adhered to a philosophy called "The Great Hidden City".

Wizards and Muggles live under the same roof.

Originally, it was like this kind of Ministry of Magic, which had no law and discipline in the Federation, and the Federation would definitely send people to blame, and even intervene in the past.

However, it is the so-called contradiction between small countries, the contradiction disappears after the mediation of the federation, the contradiction between the small country and the big country, the contradiction between the small country disappears after the mediation of the federation, the contradiction between the big country and the federation, and the contradiction between the federation and the federation, after the mediation of the federation, the federation disappears.

Based on population, as one of the most powerful ministries of magic in the world, the Ministry of Magic of the Ming Dynasty can compete with the entire federation.

Their wizard population is close to one million.

The combined wizard population in Europe and the United States is only one million.

If the federation divides rights according to population, then the Ministry of Magic of the Ming Dynasty alone will be touched by nearly a quarter.

That's why the Federation can be a leader in Europe, but it has little presence in the Far East.

The British Empire, as one of the founding members of the Federation, would have been reduced to a third-rate country long ago if it were not for the blood transfusion of India and overseas provinces.

"What about other countries?" Theseus shook the bitter thoughts out of his head.

"What about the Ministries of Magic in the neighboring countries?"

"Those who can be mobilized have already been mobilized." The Greeks replied, "The only people who can still draw on them are the Middle East, but — you know, the federation can't move them." ”

"Theseus!"

While the two were talking, Tonks suddenly appeared beside them, "Muggle artillery is coming, you guys get out of the way." ”

"What?"

"Artillery, bombs, don't you understand?"

"Okay, I got it." Theseus nodded, he was just thinking about something else, a little distracted, "Notice, let the Aurors withdraw from a nautical mile." Then he commanded the Greeks beside him.

"Understood!" The Greek nodded, and then disfigured away as well.

And Tonks, she didn't stay, but continued to apparition and went somewhere else.

The Muggle fleet was not only firing on the Eastern Front—but also on the Southern Front.

The rout there was much faster than in the other three directions.

Egypt and Libya are in a hurry, those monsters are about to attack their homeland, can they not be in a hurry?

The Russians - a little late.

The wizards - the head of the rat scurrying away.

Theseus, who saw it, was angry and sighed.

He'd known for a long time that the Ministry of Magic's Auror system was flawed.

The Aurors – essentially a wizard's police force – used to capture a dark wizard or something, and no problem.

However, when the occupation changed, from individual battles to 10,000 magic battles, the disadvantages of the Auror system became apparent. Compared to the wizarding army, the Aurors were very weak in personal battles.

That's why—Grindelwald's Witch Army—the first and only wizarding army, apparently suppressed the entire European Auror without a numerical advantage.

After the end of the First Global Wizarding War, he proposed to the Federation to form a wizarding army - a proposal that was unfortunately shelved.

The first is that they don't think they need it, Grindelwald has already been defeated at that time, and the second is that the ministries of magic of various countries do not agree - the wizard army cannot be formed by the Ministry of Magic of a certain country (except for the Ming Dynasty), and this matter can only be led by the Federation.

But for the Ministries of Magic, the Federation had already been too strong in wartime, and they had been stripped of many of their administrative powers, and now they had to form armies!

Then just let the Federation rule them, what else do you want the Ministry of Magic to do?

But now, if you have a wizard army in hand, it will be much easier to deal with such an emergency.

"Ah—" Theseus sighed.

There are too many evils in the wizarding world, both in the system and in people.

He is also tired and doesn't want to get involved with these troubles, so he chooses to leave politics.

But leaving is not not asking about the world, this is not - if something happens, you have to pull him out.

And just when Theseus felt lost about the future of wizards.

In the distance—a rumbling sound in the sky suddenly came.

The firelight illuminated the dim sky under the dark clouds.

The clouds burned.

Glowing orange-red.

Then the light fell, like a meteor shower, and smashed into the sea.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

"Boom!"

The explosion sounded instantly.

After this salvo ended, less than a minute later, the roar of fighter planes was heard in the sky.

Hundreds of bombers, escorted by fighters, began to rapidly reduce altitude.

Upon arrival at the designated position, numerous cluster bombs rained down from the sky.

The roar rang out again.

After the first round of bombing, the second-round bombers continued to drop bombs.

Also, in the Greek direction, long-range rocket artillery on the coastline began to pour fire.

Suddenly, the sea turned into a sea of fire.

The sea water shadows the firelight, sparkling spots, like stars blinking their eyes.

It's just that this light is more of an orange-red blazing light.

As far as the eye can see, the sea looks like hell.

It's a pot of soup cooked by Satan!

"Although these artillery fires are not very useful against wizards." Sirius appeared beside Theseus for some kind of apparition, gasping for breath and intermittently, "But I have to say, this explosion is really cool!" ”

"When a wizard can have this kind of weapon, then we can also sit comfortably in the office and destroy all enemies at the touch of a button."

"Instead of thinking about that, you should think about how to block the defense line after the bombing is over." Theseus remained calm, his gaze refracted with flames, but there was not a hint of joy on his face.

"This kind of dense artillery fire can't kill this group of monsters?"

"If you can kill it, why do you think the battle on the Western Front is not over now?" Theseus asked rhetorically, "There's a huge Muggle fleet over there." ”

"Bastard!" Sirius burst into a foul mouth, "Why do the enemies you have encountered recently continue to regenerate and resurrect." ”

After the baptism in the last few days, the godfather of the dog naturally immediately thought of the key to the resurrection of flesh and blood.

It seems that as long as it is a monster that is in contact with the outer gods, it can continue to recover.

"Don't complain!" Theseus sighed and said, "Take advantage of the emptiness after the artillery strike, and quickly push the battle line out." ”

Theseus' prediction was quite correct.

After a bombardment that lasted more than ten minutes.

The sea was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

It looked like some kind of mist drifting on the surface of the water.

But after the wizard dispelled the mist, under the turbid water, the twisted limbs, the remnants of flesh and blood, sprouted vividly.

The surface of the sea was full of thin red threads, like blood vessels, and the shattered flesh began to repair itself, and in the near future these flesh and blood would be reconstituted into hideous children of evil omen.

The only difference is that the number may have decreased.

But in the face of an infinite number, it is still infinite to reduce a part.

The wizard couldn't understand how there could be so much flesh and blood to supply these monsters.

What they don't realize is that the Kalibdis vortex has existed for at least a thousand years, if not two thousand years.

Over the years, some of the essence of the gods has accumulated some flesh and blood.

The creatures that have died in the Mediterranean for 2,000 years have more or less become her nourishment.

They are not fighting against the monsters that have been transformed by the wrecked Muggle cargo ship in the past month, nor the monsters that have been transformed for a hundred years, but against the monsters that have been transformed for thousands of years, thousands of years.

In this final chapter, God gave her all.

At the far end, Hermione and the others also watched the wizard's bombardment the whole time.

The scene of the artillery washing the floor left a deep impression on everyone.

Especially the twins and Ron.

While wizards can easily dodge these cannon blows using Phantom Shifting, the weapon still gives them some fear.

In their world, the Muggle army seemed to be stuck in the age of horseback and slashing.

Even Sirius, their impression of Muggles is limited to World War I.

Who would have thought that just a few decades later, Muggles would be able to master such a powerful weapon.

What if they are given decades, a hundred years?

You must know that the lifespan of a wizard is two or three hundred years, for some older wizards, maybe he was still riding a Muggle on horseback when he was a year ago, Muggles had already popularized line guns in middle age, and when he was old, Muggles had already flown artillery missiles, and when he reached the end of his life, what about Muggles?

Is it really as Owen said, that at that time Muggles began to build extraterrestrial space elevators and build a lunar base on the moon?

"I always thought Owen was just joking." George suddenly became a little stunned, "Now it seems that by the time the Muggles build the spaceship, the wizards may really be fighting among themselves, and we can't even do the wizarding union between the state and the world now." ”

"Yes! Muggles are progressing so fast, they've at least broken our illusion charm, haven't they? Fred followed.

Harry, on the other hand, didn't say much.

He and Ron were busy rescuing Muggles who had fallen into the water.

They waved their wands, and the people in the water floated up slowly as if they were riding on a cloud, and landed on the boat.

As for the levitation charm - because of the presence of a certain witch, they were quite skilled at using it.

Harry could even use a subtle summoning spell to hook up the drowning man in the distance.

"Thank you!"

"Oh! My God! I thought I was going to die. ”

"Mom—"

They had probably been a dozen overboard men for a long time, and as the sailboat went deeper, there were no freighters around.

After thinking about it, the incoming freighter was forcibly reversed by the wizard and dispersed.

"Oh, it's okay, hands-on." Harry touched his head in embarrassment.

He was surrounded by a large crowd.

Although most people were a little afraid of the magic of the legend, they still had a conscience and did not say anything strange.

The languages are different, English, Italian, Greek are mixed together. But Harry could still hear that they were thanking him, which made Harry feel like a redeemer.

"You're Harry Potter!"

Suddenly, screams were heard in the crowd.

Harry heard the rumour, and he saw a dark-haired woman in her early thirties.

She squeezed through the crowd towards Harry.

"I've seen your picture, and the picture of you and Mr. Lockhart has been on the table in my living room."

"You-" Harry looked curiously at the well-maintained woman, dressed in a graceful evening gown, and at first glance looked like a high-class person.
