The Hogwarts Emerald
Chapter 617 The war situation is anxious
Chapter 617 The war situation is anxious
The battle in the hall was extremely brutal. The dark wizards took advantage of the first move and launched a surprise attack. The traitors mixed in the crowd and attacked unexpectedly, catching the Ministry of Magic off guard.
As the leaders of the riot today, the Death Eaters were even more brutal and cruel than the others, using either the Cruciatus Curse or the Killing Curse to kill many people.
Having already lost the initiative and with their former colleagues hiding in the shadows like poisonous snakes, the Aurors and strikers suffered greatly. Their front line was constantly being eroded by the Death Eaters and soon they were compressed to the vicinity of the fountain.
As the first person to be attacked, Thicknesse did not fall down, he was still struggling.
When the short man attacked, Thicknesse reacted quickly, ducking to avoid the fatal curse and then rolling on the ground to avoid the danger.
But Thicknesse was the Minister of Magic and the leader, so the Death Eaters had to pay special attention to him, and countless spells flew at him like raindrops.
Fortunately, Thicknesse was protected by Aurors, so he did not die immediately.
The Aurors who were protecting Thickness wanted to evacuate with him first, but the fleeing Lambs blocked their retreat route. The ferocious Death Eaters soon caught up with them, and the battle around the Minister of Magic broke out immediately.
It was not until the reinforcements arrived that the corrupt situation in the hall improved and was no longer as one-sided as before.
Seeing someone trying to rescue Thicknesse, the dark wizards and the traitors rushed over with a roar, as if they had just been injected with a tube of chicken blood. Especially the traitors, they were merciless to their former colleagues, as if this would make them look more loyal to Voldemort.
The strikers who came to support immediately met the wolf-like group of dark wizards. For a while, all kinds of spells flew around in the hall, the sound of spells was also one after another, and more and more people fell down.
The Death Eaters stepped up their offensive, vowing to capture Thicknesse and give the Ministry of Magic a severe slap in the face.
The dark wizards' task is to create chaos and give them opportunities to attack the Ministry of Magic; the traitors' task is to let the Death Eaters in and wait for opportunities to destroy important facilities in the Ministry and act as guides; and the Death Eaters' main task is to kill Thicknesse!
If the Ministry of Magic can't even protect its own Minister, how can they protect the entire wizarding world? This is the purpose of the Death Eaters' mission this time. They want to use this method to amplify people's panic and disperse the courage that the public has just accumulated.
At this moment, Ada's voice loomed over the hall. It sounded pleasant, but it made people feel a chill down their spine.
She said: "I admire your courage in coming to the Ministry of Magic to cause trouble, so as long as you are willing to put down your wands, I can mercifully forgive your crimes. You only have one minute to think about it."
As soon as the words fell, many Aurors also shouted, shouting words like "surrender" and "surrender and you won't be killed" while suppressing the enemy with spells and advancing the battle line towards the fountain.
Faced with a large number of Aurors and strikers, some dark wizards began to waver. These people's positions were not firm to begin with, and they followed Voldemort only to satisfy their own tyrannical desire for killing.
After Ada's speech, some of the traitors began to waver. Ada's reputation was too great, and she brought great pressure to the rioters just by standing there.
The Death Eaters didn't care about that. Instead of stopping, their attack became even more fierce, trying to capture Thicknesse in a short period of time.
Some people even spread rumors that "Thickness is dead" and "The Minister of Magic is dead" in order to stabilize their own military morale and destroy the defenses of the Aurors and strikers.
Anyway, the war situation was chaotic and it was a mess. Only those around him knew whether Thicknesse was alive or dead.
Ada's voice rang out again. It was less than a minute, but she said, "If anyone resists, I will kill them without mercy!"
Following this emotionless command, the people gathered around Ada rushed out in a swarm, and the Unforgivable Curses were frequently cast to eliminate the invading enemies within sight.
Are Dark Wizards really more powerful than Aurors?
No, the scary thing about dark wizards is their dark magic, which is very harmful and powerful. The scary thing about them is their recklessness, and the Unforgivable Curses make them extremely dangerous.
When the Aurors also began to use the Unforgivable Curses against the enemy, the dark wizards' major advantage was gone, and one side gained while the other lost. As early as when Barty Crouch was the Director of the Law Enforcement Department, the Aurors were allowed to use the Unforgivable Curses. It was like the law enforcement officers who were only equipped with batons and shields were suddenly all equipped with guns, and the lethality and deterrence immediately increased a lot.
Ada also pulled out the elderberry wand. Others tried the knives, but she tried the staff.
Since getting the Elder Wand, Ada has not used this legendary wand properly!
The fifteen-inch old wand was much longer than the yew wand, but it was unexpectedly easy to use, as if Ada's wand was supposed to be this length.
Ada killed the enemies casually while rushing towards Thicknesse. If the Minister can be saved, he should be saved. Besides, Ada and he are very happy to cooperate. She has no plans to change him for the time being. Thicknesse also has a clear understanding of his position.
With Ada's joining, the Death Eaters and a group of dark wizards were beaten back step by step, and the battle line was soon pushed to the vicinity of the fountain. This time, Thicknesse was saved, and his face became much more relaxed.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Death Eaters became more and more anxious. They didn't want to lose their lives here, but also didn't want to be punished by the Cruciatus Curse when they returned. They were caught in a dilemma.
The two largest Death Eaters didn't know what to think, they left the Aurors they were fighting and turned their wands to attack Thicknesse. One of the Death Eaters even cast a Fiery Curse.
The black fire caused great chaos as soon as it appeared. This thing did not distinguish between friend and foe and burned everyone!
"Crabbe, you're a lunatic!" a tall and well-proportioned Death Eater shouted, "Idiot!"
During the first war initiated by Voldemort, the identities of many Death Eaters remained a mystery and unknown to outsiders. They always acted with hoods and masks.
This allowed many Death Eaters to escape punishment after the war, and also gave people like Karkaroff the opportunity to sell out the list.
But this time was different. From the day Voldemort was reborn in the cemetery, the names of the Death Eaters were revealed one by one. After Lucius cooperated with the Ministry of Magic, he sold out the Death Eaters.
Therefore, Death Eaters basically don't need to hide their identities anymore, since the wanted posters issued by the Ministry of Magic are posted everywhere anyway.
"McNeill!" The Death Eater who scolded Crabbe was also recognized. Little Hangleton also appeared in the cemetery that night. McNeill once worked in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. He was an executioner and an old Death Eater.
After McNeill, the rest of the Death Eaters were identified one after another, and the identities of August Rookwood, Avery and others were revealed.
But now is not the time to reminisce about the past. The timing is wrong, and the position is wrong. Moreover, the Fiendfyre ignited by Crabbe is not a vegetarian! The raging Fiendfyre devoured the lives of the people around it the moment it appeared, including Aurors and dark wizards.
Faced with the ruthless Fiendfyre, the Aurors tacitly divided into three groups. One group continued to attack the Death Eaters, one group stopped Fiendfyre, and the last group covered Thicknesse's retreat.
At this time, Ada stepped out from the crowd and replaced the Auror who was blocking Fiendfyre.
Ada raised the magic wand in her hand, and the dazzling golden light met the surging fire. The fire that was burning fiercely just now immediately weakened, and was driven into a ball by the golden light and gradually dissipated.
Seeing this, the Death Eaters no longer hesitated. They abandoned the rebellious dark wizards and ran away.
But, is the Ministry of Magic a place where one can come and go as they please?
