When Yaxley led the group of cursing dark wizards around the blocked corridor, he still didn't realize his movements. He had already been informed by the house elves that Albert left in the kitchen to monitor the entire castle.
Already.
No matter how hard they thought, they would never have imagined that someone would set up their headquarters in a kitchen.
Because of this, it is quite safe there.
"How's it going? Is it useful?"
With the help of the house elf, Hermione and Ron were apparated and brought back to the kitchen, and they hurriedly asked about the results.
Just now, the two used the magic props left by Albert to try to block the path of Yaxley's team to prevent Bill's team from being attacked from both sides and being destroyed.
After all, they were not Albert. If they were to run into that large army of hundreds of dark wizards, one could imagine what would happen.
"Successful, those guys took a detour." Shanna turned her head and said to Hermione and Ron, "But I'm afraid you still have to go out."
"what happened?"
Hermione immediately turned her attention to the large map in front of her, and following Zannah's wand, she quickly figured out the specific reason.
"The previous large force separated a group of people and formed three small teams. They seemed to be preparing to sneak attack our blocking team from the rear, trying to open up the three roads to let the enemy in." Shanna explained to the two of them.
"Those guys actually planned to attack from both front and back." Hermione looked at the red dots on the map and murmured: "If Albert hadn't been prepared, the situation would have been very bad."
"Why did those guys become so insidious?" Ron was a little depressed.
"Everyone is making progress." Shanna said calmly.
"Are you sure this is progress?"
"I have informed them of this before, and I will probably ambush them on the way back, but..." Zannah pointed her wand at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, "But where is Aberforth?"
It seems like a heavy loss, and I'm a little worried about the situation on his side."
"We're going to reinforce Hagrid right now, don't do this Ron." Hermione looked at Ron who was a little cowered.
"You know I'm afraid of spiders," Ron muttered.
"They're not that scary..."
"No, they're scary."
"Then I'll leave it to you. Don't confront them head-on. Most of Aberforth's team are newcomers and don't have much fighting ability. Moreover, the battle over there is not over yet. I suggest you help them hold off the enemy for the time being.
After Aberforth gets rid of those big spiders, he will use the power of the centaurs to annihilate the group of dark wizards in one fell swoop."
Saying that, Zannah looked at Moody again, who nodded and walked towards Hermione and Ron on crutches.
Moody was kept here not only because of his handicap, but also because the other party was the last resort, and now it was finally his turn to come in handy.
To be honest, Albert's series of arrangements really shocked Moody, and it did give them a great advantage. Otherwise, with a huge difference in the number of people, they would be the only ones in a head-on confrontation.
Defeated, unlike now where they still rely on intelligence to gain the upper hand.
Shanna actually wants to fight with everyone, but after all, someone needs to stay and take charge of the overall situation and remind everyone in time to prevent the team from being attacked by the enemy and suffering heavy losses.
Of course, Zannah was also given a more important task by Albert: to help keep an eye on the entrance to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor to ensure that Voldemort's movements were known as soon as possible.
Just when Shanna was frowning and staring at the big map, worrying about the situation that was getting worse, a sudden voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Miss Wilson, Mr. Anderson hopes that you can mobilize manpower to block the dark wizard army on the third floor."
Shanna glanced at the situation on the third floor and murmured: "This is not easy!"
She knew very well that her side had the advantage in the early stage because the dark wizard did not expect to encounter such a violent counterattack and was caught off guard.
But at present, anyone who is not a fool can feel that both sides are launching a fierce attack and defense around this castle. Naturally, not many fools dare to continue to look down on them.
This directly led to the gradual loss of early advantages, and it was difficult for many teams to end the battle in a short period of time, so that they were held back by the enemies that arrived later.
Although they are not directly at a disadvantage, it is undeniable that the situation is developing in a direction that is unfavorable to them.
Especially the Auror troops who joined later. Although they were experienced and quite strong, they were still far inferior to the members of the Defense Association who had drank the Felixir.
So much so that a certain Auror team of seven failed to evacuate in time and became the first Auror team to die in action. The most embarrassing thing is that they were tricked by their own Auror.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. Aurors who have never drank the Felixir are still out of luck.
Moreover, there are so many enemies that once you are really trapped, it will be too difficult to break through the encirclement and fight your way out.
Even though Albert had tried his best to weaken the enemy so that his side could barely gain an advantage, the numerical disadvantage was still a big trouble.
No matter how powerful Albert is, he cannot turn the entire battle around on his own.
Fortunately, he is not alone.
There is a group of people around him who are willing to believe in him, otherwise Albert would really not dare to take the risk.
"Are you really going to do that?"
Listening to Albert's adjustments to the plan, Kingsley couldn't help but stop, frowned and asked, "What should we do with those who stay."
"If we want to win this war, someone must sacrifice for it. We must also find a breakthrough, otherwise it will be a matter of time before we are brought down." Albert knew exactly what Kingsley was worried about and reminded, "Hold on.
That group of dark wizards have many ways, whether it's destroying stairs, setting up traps, or using other methods."
"You know very well that those are all excuses." Kingsley smiled bitterly, "Forget it, I'll stay too. Someone needs to organize them, otherwise it will just be a mess."
As long as they give priority to destroying the dark wizards on the fourth or fifth floors and use this as a breakthrough to gather the forces fighting in the castle, no matter whether they want to concentrate their efforts on destroying the dark wizards upstairs or downstairs, they will be able to compare.
Deal with it calmly.
As for those who were left to serve as cannon fodder, they would probably be the group of Aurors who were held back. Kingsley himself knew this very well.
He knew better that Albert would not blatantly ask the Aurors to stay and stop the dark wizard, but he would use other methods, and his own people who had taken the Felixir were obviously more advantageous in this regard.
As for whether this damn decision will unite the previously scattered dark wizards, there is actually no way around it.
No one is a fool, especially after encountering a sniper attack from the Order of the Phoenix, they will subconsciously move closer to their own people, hoping to defeat the enemy with the advantage of numbers.
