Chapter 649: Counterattack (Please subscribe, please collect, please vote)
"Is the bird still following?" Ryan asked Hermione through the Phoenix Brand after flying directly north into the English Channel from Brest on the tip of the Brittany Peninsula.

"Still following." Hermione replied in surprise. "We took two breaks in between, but the bird was never replaced. What kind of bird can fly for more than three hours without a break?"

"Should we kill the bird first?" Rose Crystal suddenly suggested, "I think a wizard like Lucius Malfoy should be very alert in this situation. A bird following him for several hours should have discovered him."

"You're right, and now is a good time to kill the bird." After saying that, Ryan controlled the Thestral to fly back violently. Then he aimed at the bird and released a death finger. A green light flashed, and the bird immediately fell into the sea like a stone.

"Okay, the other party should have confirmed our identity by now. Now we fly west." Ryan said after returning to the formation. "We will go around the west of Ireland later, which should disrupt the arrangement of the ambush group."

Half an hour later, they appeared over the sea dozens of miles away from Ireland. At this time, the sea was covered with dark clouds, and Ryan and the other three struggled to fly forward in the dark clouds.

Suddenly, several green lights came from behind them on the right. Ryan and his men, who had been prepared in advance, quickly ordered the Night Riders to fold their wings and lower their altitude to avoid the attack.

"Seven." Ryan quickly saw how many people were chasing after them. After seeing the equipment of these wizards, he quickly warned Hermione and Rose Crystal: "They have uniform uniforms and all Nimbus 7 brooms. This time they are not the mob we encountered before, but a trained elite team."

"Understood." "Got it." Hermione and Rose Crystal answered in unison, and then they both flew quickly to the sides, as if they were trying to escape because they were not strong enough.

This behavior was very consistent with their current status as graduates, and the group of attackers behind them also thought so. At the moment when Hermione and Rose Crystal flew to the left and right, two people from the pursuit team also chased after them. After a series of spells, they soon flew into the clouds in the sky and disappeared.

"One on five, this makes the difficulty much lower." Ryan thought. At this time, he recognized that the leader was Auror Lux, so this team should be the Aurors or strikers who turned to Voldemort. In the UK, they were the only organized and trained armed forces, so it was expected that they could put up such a formation.

The spells coming from behind also illustrate this point. The positions of these spells are very tricky. If Ryan had not been able to communicate with nature and control the Thestral almost perfectly, anyone else would have been knocked down from the sky at this time.

"This distance should be enough," the people led by Dawlish were getting closer and closer, until they were within 50 meters. Ryan activated the Rose Madonna and cut off their control of the flying broom.

However, unlike the previous mob, after discovering that the brooms were out of control, this group of people immediately abandoned the brooms and relied on their equipment to float in the air. They still maintained a roughly complete battle formation. They even fired two spells at Ryan to prevent him from taking advantage of the situation.

"You are not Lucius Malfoy." The leader Dawlish had already reacted by now, "You are the pink devil."

"You figured it out." Ryan immediately stretched out a pair of wings that looked like pink crystals behind him, and then flew up from the back of the Night Thestral with an elegant posture, avoiding the two killing curses.

Just as the five wizards were holding their wands and looking at Ryan nervously, a short scream came from the left. Before they could react, a purple light hit the head of the wizard floating on the far left, and instantly his head exploded like a balloon that had too much air pumped into it.

At the same time, a beam of green light flew out from the right and hit a wizard on the far right. The wizard fell directly from the sky without making any sound, and then a small white wave splashed on the sea. Dalish looked around in panic, and found a small doll in a purple dress and a brown-haired girl riding a night star rushing down from the clouds on the left and right.

"We are Aurors and strikers from the Ministry of Magic, you can't--" He didn't finish his words before he was forced to dodge to the side by a pink light containing powerful magic from Ryan. However, his two subordinates were not so lucky. After losing their flying brooms, their movements in the air were extremely clumsy, and they were quickly killed by Hermione and Rose Crystal with magic.

"They are probably not Aurors, but just strikers." Hermione said to Ryan through the Phoenix Mark. "Real Aurors are not that bad. Tonks and I have practiced privately before. Even a novice like Tonks is much better than these guys now. At least they won't completely lose their mobility after losing their brooms in the air."

The actions of the genuine Ao Luo Delisi also proved this point. After finding that he was no match for the opponent in the air battle, Delisi immediately gave up the floating function of the magic props on his body and plunged to the sea surface. It seemed that he hoped to use some magic to escape from the sea as quickly as possible.

However, his last hope was ended by a pink feather. Ryan directly ejected a flying feather from the wing behind him. This crystal-like feather broke through the heavy defenses on Dalish's body and went straight into his head, dealing him a fatal blow.

"It seems that today's ambush was well done, and we can say that we have gained a lot!" Rose Crystal flew to Ryan and said, after spending a few minutes to open the space door and take away all the bodies, and then called Jill to erase their traces, Hermione led the Apparition to a small town in the suburbs of London.

"I came here when I was very young. It's as empty as I imagined." Hermione changed both of their clothes with her wand and walked out along the path. Ryan also returned to his original appearance at this time. After looking around, he realized that they were in a deserted park.

"This place used to be a small town affiliated with a coal mine, but after the mine closed more than a decade ago, it has been completely abandoned." Hermione explained in a low voice. "We can find an empty house and slowly sort out the spoils, and deal with these bodies at the same time."

After walking out of the park, facing the park gate is a wide street with two-story or even three-story red brick houses on both sides of the street. From the specifications of these houses and streets, it can be seen that this residential area was a very prosperous place in the past.

But time has taken away all the prosperity. Now, many of the roofs of these residential areas have collapsed, and the glass has been broken. There are large patches of graffiti on the walls. The thick fallen leaves on the small road in front of the residential area indicate that there may not be many people coming to this place for a long time.

"It's quite suitable for what we are going to do next." Hermione nodded with satisfaction, and then she and Ryan jumped into a dark empty window frame.

"Why don't you use magic to open the door?" Rose Crystal asked in confusion. "I remember you have a special magic that can be used to open the door."

"Of course not." Ryan turned around and explained seriously. "This place is too close to London. We must use magic as little as possible to prevent the enemy from noticing something is wrong."

"I understand." Rose Crystal nodded, then flew over to help Hermione deal with the spoils from the corpses, and also gave the corpses a facelift for the next step.

"Your product is selling well." Hermione took a silver bracelet off Dawlish's wrist and waved it at Ryan. "It's almost becoming standard equipment for both enemies and us now."
