"What are they waiting for?" Penello asked strangely, looking at the group of wizards and puppets standing motionless in a phalanx. As soon as she finished speaking, those people below
There was a sudden movement. However, this group of people did not charge towards Hogsmeade, but some of them neatly separated to both sides, revealing a road leading to the middle of the woods.
"I guess this is Voldemort coming." Ryan whispered in Hermione's ear. "Look at this scene, tsk tsk tsk."
As expected, Voldemort did not keep everyone waiting, or in other words, he did not dare to waste time at this time. Just after the puppets and Death Eaters made way, a Voldemort wearing a black robe, with pale skin, and a face as flat as a snake walked away.
Come out. After he appeared, everyone in Hogsmeade Town felt as if the mute button had been pressed. Everyone even tried to suppress their coughing and breathing sounds to a minimum.
"It looks like you are planning to resist." After scanning the people standing on the wall with snake-like eyes, a high-pitched, cold, clear voice, as if it had been soaked in ice water for thousands of years, came from Voldemort's position.
Come out. But Ryan didn't notice that he opened his mouth. Voldemort must have used some magic for the purpose of intimidation.
I have to say that this magic did have the desired effect, because when Voldemort's voice sounded, many people in Hogsmeade began to tremble in their legs and feet, with frightened looks on their faces. Even Ryan heard the sound nearby.
Some people's teeth started chattering,
"Your efforts are useless. You are no match for me. I don't want to kill you. I have great respect for Hogsmeade, the only wizarding town in the UK, and I don't want wizards to bleed." Voldemort's words
The voice echoed over the town of Hogsmeade, and everyone listened to his speech quietly.
"Today I went to Hogwarts to find Harry Potter," Voldemort's voice said, "None of you will be hurt. As long as you don't stop my army. And if you are willing to cooperate with me, you
You will be rewarded."
After finishing speaking, Voldemort took his entire army and began to walk towards Hogwarts Castle. Standing on the wall of Hogsmeade, people held their wands tightly in their hands and looked at this mighty army in silence.
"Did Voldemort bring so many people just to kill Harry?" Hermione widened her eyes and used the Phoenix Brand to send a message. "Why would he do this? It is obvious that most of our war potential is concentrated in Hogmore.
"Dear, even if they just burn down the bank, it will be a big blow to us." Hermione said as she looked at the Pandaren standing with the reserves, wearing a suit of armor and wearing spellcasting rings and claws on their arms.
brother.
"Don't forget the prophecy about Harry." Ryan explained, "Now Voldemort only has the power of one blow, so he naturally takes killing Harry as his primary goal. Because the prophecy once said that Harry is the savior of the world.
Star, as long as he is killed, Voldemort will truly win."
"Believe the prophecy?" Hermione snorted disdainfully. She had always believed that prophecies were just tricks used to deceive people, especially those made by Trelawney.
"Whether you think this prophecy is true or false, the core is that Voldemort himself believes it." Ryan showed a strange expression, because he also felt that it was too negative to pin his fate on a fable.
Just as Ryan and Hermione were talking through the Phoenix Brand, Ryan noticed from the corner of his eye that Sirius seemed to be unable to hold back his inner impulse and slowly raised the arm holding the wand.
"Wait a minute, the time is not yet here." Ryan slammed Sirius' right hand, which was about to raise the wand. "The magic I prepared has not yet been released. And look at everyone around you,
Now is not a good time to start a fight."
Sirius put down the wand he was about to raise and looked around. Sure enough, many people standing on the city wall, especially the volunteers, seemed to have low morale. Some people even dared not look up at Voldemort below.
"Can you use the power of your Madonna of the Rose to destroy those puppets?" Hermione came over and asked in a lower voice. "I remember that the magic you released when using the Madonna of the Rose can have enough damage to these magical creations. If
It would be much easier to fight if we kill these thousands of puppets."
"It's not that simple." Ryan also whispered to Hermione, "Actually, I tried it out when the first obsidian puppet wolf appeared, but Voldemort should have already known that I could do it when he transferred Harry.
There are special means to destroy those magic props, so now these puppets have special magic defenses. Even with the help of Our Lady of the Rose, I can only dismantle them one by one. It is impossible to destroy all the puppets at once like I destroyed the flying broomstick before.
"
"How did Voldemort do it? I don't think he is better than you in alchemy." Hermione frowned slightly, but she soon came to her senses. "Damn! It was accumulated by the families of those pure-blood wizards.
Collection.”
After staying with Ryan for such a long time, Hermione naturally learned a lot about alchemy. Therefore, she knew that the technical gap was not insurmountable, as long as she was willing to invest in enough good raw materials.
, even if you have average skills, you can still create extraordinarily powerful magic items.
Just like some ancient magic props that have been passed down to this day, in fact, because they are too old, the technology contained in these props is very crude compared to the modern magic props production technology that has been developed for hundreds of years. However, because these props use
The material is really good, so overall it is still a very powerful magic prop.
Ryan has also collected many antique props left over from the past. These conclusions are based on his experience when studying these magic props. Of course, many of the magic props that have been studied were directly dismantled by Ryan and recycled as precious materials.
.
"Then what should we do now?" Hermione asked in a low voice, "We can't just watch these guys attack Hogwarts Castle, where our classmates and professors are still there."
"Don't forget the legions we have prepared in the Black Lake. They will give Voldemort's army a heavy blow." Ryan stared at Voldemort and said to Hermione. At this time, Voldemort also stopped in his tracks.
He raised his head and looked at Ryan.
While looking at each other, the two of them clenched the wands in their hands at the same time. However, because both of them had concerns, they just glared at each other and did not take the initiative to take action.
After staring at each other for a while, Voldemort's large army also bypassed the town of Hogsmeade and marched towards Hogwarts Castle. And he himself shook his head violently after watching more than 2/3 of the people leave the town.
The black robe on his body walked towards the front of the team. Behind him, Nagini, who was protected by a powerful magic in the middle, also floated over.
"We can't watch like this." Sirius said impatiently. He found that the only ones who were nervous were some of the Ministry of Magic personnel and civilians who volunteered to guard the city wall, while the wizards directly under Ryan and Lupine who had participated in the battle were nervous.
He was just shocked at first, but within a few seconds he almost regained all his fighting spirit. "We should do something now."
"You're right." To Sirius's expectation, Ryan, who had been unresponsive just now, nodded in agreement, then raised his wand and drew a somewhat complicated rune in the air. "Now is indeed the time to take action.
Already."
As soon as he finished speaking, a mass of black things suddenly jumped out of the black lake and pounced on Voldemort's army, which was now marching in the shape of a long snake, and directly split the Voldemort's army that had relaxed its vigilance into two halves.
