Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 411: General Attack, Targeting Hogwarts

A young wizard from Hogwarts ran to the command room in a hurry: "Hermione, we need support in Diagon Alley. There are three goblin mechas over there. They can't handle them and are losing ground!"

Hermione frowned, "I told you now is not the time to counterattack, but they insist on trying!"

"Well, their shops were robbed after all. Damn goblins, robbers!"

Hermione knew that complaining was useless now, so she turned the magic screen in front of her to check the distribution of combat power nearby.

"How about this? I'll ask the elite combat team nearby to provide support. The Aurors will send over a few magical penetrating cannons. Before that, they will avoid the battle and avoid any casualties!"

"Okay, I'll notify them right away."

The communications student trotted off, while Hermione marked the location of the elite combat team on the entire virtual map of Britain.

The magic-penetrating cannon is a magic-penetrating cannonball made specifically with a pyrosteel core.

It is triggered by a magic primer and fired. The impact ignites the alchemical gunpowder and the final burning steel core will penetrate most magic defenses and high magic resistances under the huge thrust.

Generally speaking, even magic resistance level 5 cannot stop it. Coupled with a huge amount of high-explosive alchemical gunpowder, the power is very strong.

At present, except for the fire dragon, nothing can survive a hit.

The goblins' magic iron-shelled lumberjack mechas are no match for them.

As the saying goes, the devil is always stronger than the righteous. This time Ron has done a great job!
This thing is Ron's "invention", or main engineer.

Although the structure and design drawings were all from Ron, it was a new product that he had designed in the game but had not had time to test.

But things like high-explosive alchemical gunpowder, improved magic primer, and magic-piercing steel bullet core were all provided by Ted.

After all, he controls all the players' inventions.

Ron only needs to find the technology he can use and then integrate it.

One experiment, the effect is very good!

The logging machine was basically hit with a big hole, the machine was scrapped, and the driver was gone~
This thing only requires a small amount of magic to fire, and it comes with its own sight, so it is easy to operate.

It would be even better if you have relevant experience (meaning you are an archer or even a magic turret player in the game), as the shooting speed is very fast and the hit rate is high.

One shot, one kill!
Outside Hogsmeade village, twenty logging machine mechas and a giant logging machine that was a combination of six monsters were all blown up by these magic penetrating cannons!

The goblins originally thought that Hogsmeade would not be able to resist an army of five hundred monsters, fifty goblins, and more than twenty logging machines.

Everything was going smoothly at first, but then I was hit hard!

After eighty rounds of magic penetrating cannon fire, only twelve fairies were seriously injured and surrendered, while the rest were completely wiped out!

This battle shocked everyone!

The wizards in Hogsmeade were stunned. Although the older wizards also used Utopia, they were just like older people using smartphones and could not adapt quickly. Not to mention letting them play "Magic World".

But in this battle, those tall fairy mechas that they were helpless against, and those highly magic-resistant monsters with shells made of magic iron, taught them a solid lesson!
If you can't defeat them head-on, you will be pushed forward layer by layer by the lumberjack, monsters and goblins behind it.

In just over ten minutes, the wizards showed signs of defeat.

A quarter of the four or five hundred houses in the village were demolished.

Just when the wizards from other countries who were watching the live broadcast were in despair, Ted led the senior students and parents of Hogwarts to join the battle.

In the game, the little wizards who are used to being sneaky hide on the rooftops, behind the walls, in the ruins, and fire penetrating bullets from various inconspicuous places, and the explosions are continuous!
The magic penetrating bullet amazed everyone when it first appeared!

In just three minutes, almost all the lumberjack mechas were destroyed.

Most of the fearless monster troops were killed or wounded, and the remaining goblins could not bear it anymore. They fled the village with collapsed morale, but were cut off by the strikers (magical sheriffs) and Aurors (magical armed police) who were called in in advance.

The goblin troop that attacked Hogsmeade was a fairly powerful detachment, but it was destroyed ten minutes after Ted and his "new wizards" entered the battlefield!
It was in stark contrast to the previous ten minutes.

This ending almost tells everyone: Wizards, times have changed~
……

The battle of Hogsmeade gave the wizards a shot in the arm.

Although the officials of the Ministry of Magic escaped at the last moment thanks to Ted attracting the goblins' attention, failure was certain.

After all, the Ministry of Magic has been occupied by goblins!

But then the wizards' great victory in Hogsmeade told everyone that goblins are just paper tigers and there is no need to be afraid of them!
This victory was very necessary because after this victory, the wizards' guerrilla warfare and small-scale harassment became more frequent.

For example, in Diagon Alley, although the goblins had occupied it and even robbed some wealthy shops - goblins are greedy by nature, and they are not a disciplined force, so they can't control themselves at this time.

There is still a fight outside St. Mungo's. Most of the school's forces, including professors, have gone to support St. Mungo's.

Sirius, Lupin, Mrs. Longbottom, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and some members of the Order of the Phoenix were all there fighting the goblins.

It has to be said that the goblins are the only race qualified to rebel against wizards, so they have something.

For example, the magic penetrating cannon. Less than an hour after it came out, the fairies had already thought of some ways to deal with it.

For example, adding an extra layer of "strong protection against arrows" and "deflected attacks" to the outside of the lumberjack mecha, this kind of protective magic will have a huge impact on those flying props.

The Burning Steel Bullet Core relies on high explosive power to propel the Magic Breaking Bullet Core through the outer shell of the mecha. In fact, it is a physical attack powered by magic.

The goblins took advantage of this and launched targeted defenses.

There are also some goblin pilots who have modified or installed magic devices on their logging machine mechas, and the effects are quite good. In short, they are not stupid.

The first wave is about creating super effects unintentionally, and then it’s about countering each move.

We are also improving our defenses against fairies.

However, before Ron could experiment with the second type of sonic concussion bomb, there were already wizards proficient in combat on the battlefield who came up with a new tactic in conjunction with the magic penetrating bomb - they would Apparate in an instant to get close to the lumberjack mech, use the sticking spell to stick the penetrating bomb directly to the mech, ignite the primer, and then Apparate away in an instant!

After all, the lumberjack mecha was clumsy and had a small field of vision. Many times, it didn't even notice what was happening before the mecha was blown in half!
This can be called a battle of fellow countrymen, Wizard Superman!
……

No one can sleep well tonight, but the sun will not be late.

The days are already long in late May and the sun rises early.

This brings up a problem. Although the fighting is now limited to the wizarding world, the wizarding world is inseparable from ordinary people's society.

For example, Diagon Alley, although ordinary people can't go there, it's just a space hidden in London.

You were in there firing bombs and blasting things, and using logging robots to demolish houses, and you thought others were deaf?!
In fact, when the goblins came to occupy the place last night, some ordinary people called the police, saying that someone was frying fish nearby! But they could only hear the sound and could not find where it was.

The Muggles reacted quickly as well. It was said that the old Queen was woken up in the middle of the night and was told that the Ministry of Magic was launching a rebellion.

When they found out that the goblins were going to rebel and overthrow the rule of the wizards, their faces suddenly became very ugly.

Although there was a huge gap between wizards and ordinary people before.

Many ordinary people have a strong yearning for magic, especially wizards who can live to be a hundred years old. Even the old queen may not say it, but I don’t know how envious she is in her heart!
But if the goblins succeed, it will no longer be a problem between two groups of humans, but two races!
Humans will never allow this!

However, there is really nothing they can do in the short term.

Around the Statute of Secrecy, the magical world has already established a very systematic shielding and exclusion of Muggles.

Even if they want to intervene, they can't!

This is also the original intention of the confidentiality law.

So, they had to restrain the people, claiming that the country was conducting a temporary exercise and asked everyone not to panic. Since the second half of last night, the friends have been busy.

Neville, Harry and Malfoy, with forty or fifty senior students, acted as an elite combat force. They would occasionally play tricks on the main battlefield of St. Mungo's, fire a wave of penetrating bullets and then run away.

Sometimes he would go to Diagon Alley to support the wizards there, and even cooperated with the dark wizards in Knockturn Alley, using large-scale fog potions to kill dozens of monsters.

They organized adult wizards who were engaged in guerrilla warfare everywhere, but there were few of them, they lacked organization and they didn't know what to do, to harass the places occupied by the goblins and to destroy the goblins' logistical supply forces.

Jerry served as a sub-human liaison, contacting his own group with the dwarf, midget, and elf students in the school and organizing one or two teams to join the war.

All races: The goblin rebellion is unpopular and must be strongly condemned! We will never stand idly by!
Jerry and his girlfriend Sydney killed twelve goblin spellcasters and two goblin slave owners in one night! They also used alchemical magic fire to destroy two logging mechas.

As the dispatcher in the central command room, Hermione controls the overall situation and allocates combat power.

As the chief of logistics, Ron assembled the assembly line overnight, semi-manually and semi-automatically producing magical weapons such as penetrating bullets and sonic bullets.

Ted was on the front battlefield, covering the mirror space to avoid affecting the Muggles. He also kept an eye on all directions, trying his best to protect the wizards from being killed in the battle.

The goblin leader had a splitting headache at this moment.

Because after dawn, he realized where the real problem lay.

What about logistics?!

Originally, there were not enough standard wands, and it was said that a batch was stockpiled on the factory's assembly line. However, after the Ministry of Magic was attacked late last night, the wand factory could no longer be contacted!
The wand is a permanent pain in the hearts of the fairies, so they naturally take it very seriously. Therefore, the wand factory is also the most heavily protected.

It was not a fixed place, but rather a huge magical machine that drilled holes underground and moved every once in a while.

Now, even its own people didn’t know where it had gone—of course it had run into Ted’s pocket!

Last night, when the goblin transport team went to get the wands, they triggered the backdoor of the goblin's mind that Ted had left there, and then a group of goblins killed these goblins. The driving wand factory took the initiative to cut off contact and ran away!

Now the wand factory has disappeared and the mecha factory has exploded. Although there is still some mecha production at the headquarters, it is far from enough to meet consumption.

Before the battle started, they never thought that the lumberjack mechas would be consumed so quickly!

With the wizard's skills, it was already a great feat to destroy ten crosses in one night.

What was the result? In one night and one morning, nearly sixty logging machine mechas were damaged. This has reached one third of the total number!
Moreover, it is now popular among wizards to use mobility to conduct guerrilla warfare, although not every adult wizard can Apparate, or only elite wizards can do so.

But they are strong in combat, experienced, and often can attack and leave with one strike, with a success rate of half.

Once successful, it will result in huge losses, either the mecha will be destroyed, or monsters or even goblin spellcasters will be killed in large numbers!

And even if you fail, you can't chase him!

If you really follow the trail of Apparition, you might fall into a trap.

While others can attack or defend, the goblins are exhausted and unable to exert their concentrated strength.

After all, for wizards, there are no strategic locations that must be defended.

The battle at St. Mungo's had also come to a stalemate. It had been six or seven hours since last night, and both the goblins and monsters were no longer at their peak.

Do you want to continue the attack?
Or do you want to take down St. Mungo's with all your strength? !

Finally, the goblin leader contacted the headquarters on the island of Ireland and asked for instructions.

They are also very anxious about the current situation. They never expected it to be so unsuccessful.

If it was delayed for another day, the fairy’s chance of winning would be almost gone.

Finally, the decision was made!
"Attack Hogwarts! Take Hogwarts! Force them to fight us! Put all your fighting power on it!"

……

"The goblin troops at St. Mungo's are shrinking!"

"The goblins in Diagon Alley have retreated!"

"The Ministry of Magic's large forces are moving!"

Information continued to gather in the command room, and Hermione keenly noticed the goblin's unusual movements.

"Ted, the goblins seem to be making a big move. They are shrinking the battlefield!"

"Okay, I get it. They're probably going to gather together and try to have a big showdown."

"The final battle? Where will they choose to attack?"

"It's only Hogwarts. After all, St. Mungo's can be abandoned at a critical moment. This thousand-year-old school is the only one that British wizards cannot abandon no matter what. Whoever occupies this place will occupy the British wizarding world!"

In the original book, Voldemort was determined to attack Hogwarts, so he must have been thinking the same thing, right?
As expected, the goblins gathered their forces, withdrew from London, and rushed towards Hogwarts in the English Highlands.

After all, they are a magical army, not like Muggles who have to march.

They sent people directly to the nearby area, set up a portal that was constructed at great expense, and then the troops passed through it continuously.

The process was so fast that wizards could not launch a surprise attack on the march or interrupt the teleportation.

In fact, after the goblins gathered together, they began to make up for the tactical loopholes.

For example, now lumberjacks no longer act alone, but cooperate with five or six goblin spellcasters and a goblin slave master, with four or five monsters.

Although the lumberjack is clumsy and has poor perception, the goblin caster has strong perception and will find the traces of the apparition at the first time. The goblin slave master controls the monsters as cannon fodder to clear obstacles for the lumberjack and avoid sneak attacks in complex environments.

It can be called the magic version of infantry-tank coordination!
Sure enough, war is the primary driving force for technological progress.

Usually, those studies are mostly out of interest and playful. Or is it for money and fame?

But what about now? Now it's for my own life!
Anyone who was a step slower would have lost countless lives.

This is like South Korea and North Korea playing football. If the South Korea wins, they will be rewarded with a large sum of money, while if the North Korea loses, they will be shot. Guess who will win?

Of course life is more important than money!
Fortunately, the young wizards have been struggling in the "Magic World" for more than half a year.

After more than six months of rigorous training, I feel much better when I fight now. Many people can get into the state very quickly.

A lot of the accumulation in the game also exploded in the real world. The progress was rapid.

The goblins are not far north of Hogwarts. There are about a thousand goblins, including more than a hundred lumberjack mechas, and less than two thousand monster troops.

The monster troops' battles last night and this morning were extremely exhausting. After all, they were fearless and brave, so they died more.

Two kilometers away, Hogwarts Castle is faintly visible on the top of the hill.

A huge azure magic light shield enveloped the entire school.

This is one of the school's main defenses.

On the goblin side, a strange thing more than four meters long was launched. The front had layers of devices like a fallen TV signal tower, and the back had a huge magic crystal that was melted together with who knows how many magic crystals to use as an energy source.

A 15th-level goblin spellcaster, using an exquisite wand to control and charge this odd object.

About three minutes later, the tip of the device emitted a purple magic shock wave, which reached two kilometers away in the blink of an eye and hit the magic shield of Hogwarts. Then the magic shield began to fade, flicker, and began to disintegrate!

The goblin leader was overjoyed when he saw this, and shouted loudly: "Goblins, we have been enslaved for thousands of years. It's time to take back our blood debt! Kill them all and rule the world! Goblins are the most outstanding and noble race in the world! Kill~"
