Chapter 409 Goblin Rebellion!

1:40 AM, twenty minutes before Minister of Magic Fudge was assassinated.

Fudge has been working overtime like crazy these two days, which has never happened in the past.

Just think about it, at the Ministry of Magic, everyone gets off work at a certain time, so what's the point of working overtime?
But the Minister of Magic wants to make more contributions before he steps down. Can you still say that he is not good? Right!

The other members of the Ministry of Magic didn't take this as a big deal, but just told it to their relatives and friends as a joke after dinner.

I'm not sure how to comment on this minister, whose first half and second half are completely different, and how he is reluctant to give up his position. He even has to stay in the office at night.

"It's normal that he doesn't want to step down. In the last two years, he has been oppressing those pure-blood families like crazy, intensively organizing various activities, contacting various organizations in the wizarding world, and trying to centralize power! Wasn't it him who pushed the missing Robert to the position of deputy director of the Legal Department?"

"It's a pity that he did this too late. Now, if he steps down, how can those pure-blood families who were bullied by him let him go?"

"We definitely can't let him go! Otherwise, how could he be so nervous that he doesn't want to leave after get off work? Maybe Robert is... you know what I mean!"

"What about Fudge?"

"What else can I do? I'll just go away! To Africa or America. If I stay here, I'll definitely be punished."

However, Minister Fudge, who worked overtime, was not sitting there crying and waiting to die. He was waiting for his opportunity.

As I said before, he was planning to take advantage of this goblin rebellion.

This was his only chance, a desperate one.

He had already made some arrangements. Although he had given the goblins various conveniences in the early stage through various small actions to allow them to accumulate strength for rebellion smoothly, once the goblin rebellion occurred, Fudge would be their great enemy!
By then, the emergency response teams, supplies, strikers, newspapers, etc. that have been prepared will be fully operational - Minister Fudge will become the core figure, the first person, and the absolute main force in suppressing the goblin rebellion!
The hero of the British magic world!
However, his mistake was that he thought of goblins from his own wizard's perspective.

I have too little experience and too little learning.

Although Hogwarts has a course called History of Magic, it is not easy to use history as a mirror.

Fudge was trying to speculate about the goblin from his own perspective, but it turned out that the goblin didn't try to seize power from a politician like him. Instead, he was very direct!
No matter what preparations or plots Fudge had, they were useless now. If he were physically eliminated, all those preparations and plots would be useless.

So, the goblin assassination team set off.

The five-member team are all elites among the goblins, proficient in various killing techniques.

As early as half a month ago, the goblins had already noticed Fudge's whereabouts, so they went straight to the Ministry of Magic.

The Ministry of Magic's defense level is supposed to be quite high. It is not an easy task to invade the Ministry of Magic after get off work. At least it is very difficult to break in without making any noise.

But doesn’t Fudge have a good assistant, Little Barty?
Little Barty: Madam, this way! I know a shortcut!
Of course, it would be too rough for little Batty to lead the way.

He just secretly shut down some defense measures to allow the goblins to sneak in smoothly.

Fudge was ambushed in his office and was hit by three deadly black magic attacks in the first place.

He only had time to take a look at who kicked the door in, and then he saw a few hideous and ugly goblins and a few strangely colored spells...

He finally looked surprised. On the one hand, he was surprised why the goblin would attack him? This shouldn't be the case! You guys don't play by the rules!
On the other hand, how did they appear in the Ministry of Magic silently and break the defensive magic cast on the office door silently?

Fudge felt very insecure during this period, which was why he had to work overtime. He was worried that something might happen to him at home, like what happened to Robert.

In the Ministry of Magic, he did not take it lightly and set up several spells in the office. Combined with the Ministry of Magic's original defense system, it should be said that it was very safe.

The reason why the goblins appeared in front of him so smoothly was, of course, because Barty Jr. had paved the way in advance and lifted all the spells that Minister Fudge had forgotten to cancel. He was so helpful!
These five goblins are well-trained and very experienced. They will evacuate along the same route as soon as they succeed.

The fluctuations of the spell had already alarmed the staff on duty at the Ministry of Magic, but the fighting power of the four wizards was very average. Not to mention capturing the five goblins, they couldn't even resist. They were beaten by the goblins and couldn't even raise their heads, and let them walk away.

As the goblins fought their way out, their outpost was also blown up by Ted's clone, and the flames of the explosion were more than ten meters high! It was extremely eye-catching in the dark night!
The members of the Ministry of Magic quickly contacted people from the Ministry of Magic while following the traces to see what the goblins had done, and they found Fudge's body.

The pale, cold corpse had a gash of more than 30 centimeters on its chest. The blood vessels under its skin were black and bulging, as if the roots of some plant were moving through its skin. There was a pool of sticky black blood under its body...

Fudge's corpse was so hideous that it didn't even look like someone who had just died a few minutes ago.

After the autopsy, it was found that Fudge was hit by three fatal curses, one of which caused an open chest wound and his heart was cut into two!
The second one caused the blood in the body to decay and coagulate rapidly, so after death the blood vessels in the body turned blue and black and bulged, which was very scary.

The third one is the Killing Curse. Under the big melon, let’s not talk about the equality of all beings, at least Fudge will definitely not be able to withstand it.

……

The main force of the Irish goblins has already begun to take action.

A large portal was activated, with a suburb near London on the other side.

The cost of making and using this thing is extremely high. Normal wizards definitely can't afford it, nor do they have the opportunity to come into contact with it.

Compared with portkeys and the Floo Network, the former is like a flying vehicle, while the latter is like a military-grade battleship or tank.

Originally, the goblins planned to launch the rebellion at four in the morning, when everyone was most relaxed. However, news came from the outpost that the plot had been exposed and they had already begun to act, so we had to move as well.

Luckily it was two hours early so there was no harm.

An army of more than 3,000 monsters, under the command of a group of slave-owning goblins wearing ruby ​​crowns, passed through a portal with flashing blue light and appeared in a park in the suburbs of London.

The goblins had gone through the rehearsal, so the cross-sea transfer was very fast, and the transfer from the headquarters to London was basically completed in ten minutes.

At the same time, each fairy team has already headed towards their respective mission locations according to the prior mission arrangements!
Most of them were holding standard magic wands, and they also had one or two magic devices or magic props on them. Each team also had a fairy carrying a box containing a miniature magic mecha.

However, an accident occurred here - the outpost base could not be contacted!

"Damn it, Kebeak! What the hell is he doing? Didn't he say that the outposts would attack the Ministry of Magic and St. Mungo's? Where are they now?!"

"Sir, we have sent people to the outpost to investigate. What do we do now?"

At this time, according to the goblins' magical investigation, the Ministry of Magic was actually bustling in the middle of the night! The lights were on and wizards were coming and going!
Could it be that the outpost troops failed in their attack? But there seemed to be no signs of fighting!

"There's no time to wait for them! Send out the troops and attack the Ministry directly!"

"Yes! Monster Units One and Two, attack!"

Those slave-owning goblins wearing ruby ​​crowns immediately commanded the monster team to rush towards the Ministry of Magic in the distance.

Following behind was a group of goblins holding magic wands and driving bulky mechas.

The Ministry of Magic was also in a state of confusion. They were originally dealing with the death of the Minister of Magic after being attacked, but when they used their detection magic to discover that a large number of enemies were invading? !

"Ah~~~" A bear goblin covered in iron armor, holding a mace in his hand, rushed towards the underground gate of the Ministry of Magic, howling.

But at the 20-meter mark, it was trapped by several stone pillars that suddenly appeared from the ground. Then the stone pillars twisted and changed, trapping the bear goblin like a roast chicken on a grill. There was not only this bear goblin, but also an ogre, a troll, and several hobgoblins nearby. Some were tied up by magic plants, and some had their feet sunk into the mud and were sealed in stone...

How is it possible that the Ministry of Magic has no defenses at all?

There were at least a hundred of these non-lethal defensive spells placed outside the front door of the Ministry of Magic, linked together. However, they had never used them!
However, there were five hundred monster troops attacking the Ministry of Magic, and behind them were fifty or sixty goblins and a dozen goblin magic mechas and lumberjacks!

"Monster! A monster is attacking!" Taking advantage of the defense system's obstruction, the wizards finally reacted and shouted everywhere.

"Quick! Activate the active defense system!"

"Call for help! Call for support!"

"Let's go, let's get out of here first!"

Although those wizards work in the Ministry of Magic, have they ever experienced such a thing?

Everyone was in a panic, with beads of sweat lining up on their foreheads!

Fortunately, the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Madam Bones, also came because of Fudge's murder. She was able to keep calm at the critical moment:

"Padley, go and activate the defense system! Helier, go and notify the strikers and Aurors to join the battle! Panamera, go to the Utopia forum to issue an emergency notice, enter the first level alert state, and call on all wizards to protect their homes and bravely join the battle..."

The wizards, who were like headless flies, suddenly found a backbone and subconsciously worked according to the tasks assigned to them.

However, the scene was calm for less than a minute, because more monsters and a three-meter-tall goblin lumberjack mecha appeared!

The first line of defense, which originally had more than a hundred defensive magics, was thought to be foolproof, but it was breached in just two minutes! The goblins simply piled in people!

And that lumberjack mecha is even more unreasonable. It is over three meters tall and its shell is made entirely of magic iron templates. It has a magic resistance level 3, a huge circular saw in its right hand, and a sharp mechanical claw in its left hand.

The circular saw in the right hand was spinning at a very high speed, making a chilling sharp buzzing sound, and it had great destructive power!
The mechanical claw on the left hand can grab and scratch, and can also fly out. It also has an iron chain, which can be considered a medium- and short-range attack method!
As it moves heavily, one can see the magical blue light flashing in the gaps between the magic iron shell.

Moreover, its shell constructs an automatic defense and automatic recovery spell through magic devices and magic runes.

When attacked, the magic shield will weaken the damage and trigger a certain repair spell effect.

Two logging machine mechas were using large circular saws with a diameter of 60 centimeters to frantically cut the Ministry of Magic's tightly closed magic gate.

The three-meter-high and thirty-centimeter-thick metal magic door is made of magic metal with spells attached. Generally speaking, even if five, seven or eight wizards continuously cast spells and attack, they will not be able to break it within seven or eight minutes.

But under the crazy cutting of several magic metal-enchanted circular saws, sparks flew, magic flashed, and crackling sounds, in less than a minute, it felt like it couldn't hold on any longer!
There are still four or five hundred monsters outside, a dozen mechas like this, and those goblins hiding and holding magic wands!

"These damn goblins! They, they..." The Ministry of Magic official trembled for a long time and did not dare to say the following words.

"They are going to rebel!" Ms. Bones shouted coldly.

"Don't have any illusions! This is a war! Retreat to the second line of defense, back to the Ministry of Magic. The space there is not big, and they can't make full use of their numerical advantage! We only need to hold on for a dozen minutes, and support will arrive!"

"Yes! We have support!"

"We have Dumbledore! The greatest white wizard in the world!"

"Yes, yes, we have Dumbledore. We don't have to be afraid, don't be afraid!"

At this moment, they suddenly thought of Dumbledore, as if mentioning this name could bring them a sense of security.

At this time, the goblin commander was already sweating profusely.

Because the people who went to the outpost came back and said that the outpost had exploded! The flames had not yet been completely extinguished! Now there was only a dark pit five or six meters deep!
There was an accident! There was an accident!
Who is it? What happened?
But what should we do now? Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back! Now we have to defeat the wizard in one fell swoop, otherwise all the plans of our people for the past 20 years... No, otherwise the entire goblin tribe will suffer!
Because the Ministry of Magic has been under siege for a long time, the goblin commander feels that he can't drag it on like this any longer, so he orders the front-line troops to use powerful weapons while dividing up his forces to occupy other key points!

One team of fifty people went to occupy Diagon Alley, and another team of two hundred people went to St. Mungo's to occupy the only hospital in the British wizarding world.

As for Hogwarts, we should put it last and focus on it! Send people to take over Hogsmeade first!

The situation inside the Ministry of Magic was not optimistic at this time, because the Floo Network was actually shut down and the fireplace became a real fireplace.

The Ministry of Magic had an office that managed the Floo Network, but it was clearly no longer in charge.

In fact, the Floo Powder Company, which exclusively sells Floo Powder, was infiltrated by the goblins more than a decade ago. After all, it is a monopoly business, and the goblins will definitely not let it go.

Not to mention the opportunity to infiltrate the Floo Network, wouldn't that be useful at a critical moment?

The Ministry of Magic has magical defenses, Apparition and Portkeys are prohibited, and only the Floo Network can be used to travel freely, or you can only go through the nearby magical telephone booths.

In other words, the Ministry of Magic has now become an isolated city and is under siege!
There are only 46 wizards in the Ministry of Magic, and there are more than enemies, including to powerful monsters who are not afraid of death. Although they don’t know magic, they are really professional at serving as meat shields.

As for those lumberjack mechas, I just hope that the internal range is small, so they can’t use their full power…

The goblins’ ultimate weapon is even more ferocious, it’s actually magic explosives!
A bomb bigger than a bull's head was placed at the gate that was riddled with holes. With a loud bang, the gate was shattered into pieces.

The door to the Ministry of Magic has been opened.

At this time, it was 3 o'clock in the morning, and it was less than twenty minutes before the goblins launched an attack on the Ministry of Magic!
At this time, the wizards also took action, and many wizard parents rushed directly to Hogsmeade and Hogwarts.

Those who were closer to St. Mungo's went to support St. Mungo's Hospital.

It was a good move for the goblins to cut off the Floo Network. After all, not everyone has a flying broom. Besides, riding a broom takes time, which directly eliminated the possibility of large-scale gatherings of wizards.

At this time, Diagon Alley had been abandoned. The wizarding shop owners who got the news online all abandoned their shops and took shelter temporarily.

On the contrary, the dark wizards in Knockturn Alley were quite tough. They were unwilling to give up their little wealth, so they exchanged spells with goblins in the streets, and were chased by monsters and lumberjack mechas.

At this time, Ted began to use Utopia to contact all users, and started live broadcasts of battlefields from all sides, battle report notifications, intelligence transmission and temporary command.

The goblins were coming in full force, there were hundreds of them directly participating in the battle! The troops were divided into four or five groups to seize various key locations!
There are less than one-tenth of wizards who are good at fighting. Moreover, they are caught off guard, so how can they be a match for the goblins?
Fortunately, magic is very good at escaping, so there hasn't been any major loss so far, except that I was chased like a rat!
This is all thanks to the training in Ted's "Magic World". Otherwise, many wizards who are not active may be killed when they first come into contact with it.

The wizards who were the main force of the magic world were beaten to pieces and had to hide everywhere, and could only fight guerrilla warfare with the goblins. Where could they seek justice?

Many wizards were in a state of disarray at this moment, not knowing what to do.

Someone else posted a message online asking, "Where is Dumbledore? Go and invite Dumbledore!"

Ted didn't ask Dumbledore for help, as Dumbledore was busy, but he contacted the International Confederation of Wizards!
"Do you guys care about the goblin rebellion? If not, I will handle it my way!"
