Daily News: The Prophet of Hogwarts

Chapter 326 The Stalemate

"This is an inspiration I gained from studying Horcruxes, projecting my own thoughts outwards. This is not magic that wizards can master, because a wizard's magic cannot guarantee that their thoughts will be safe when exposed to the external environment."

Such magic can only be cast by using a wizard's tower, which is equipped with a large magic storage device and used as a giant wand.

Ryan's description sounds impressive but is actually just a vague concept. The essence of this magic is to use a huge amount of magical power to support the existence of thought outside the material structure. The real difficulty is equivalent to a Clear Spring Water Spell.

This is a typical case of Lida Flying Brick.

"That sounds impressive." Fleur didn't care at all whether Ryan was researching Horcruxes or Wizard Towers.

She touched Ryan's star-studded body, only to find it felt like touching a soft, unobstructed gaseous gel.

There was a tiny, very slight resistance, like a child resisting a muscular man. The slight resistance didn't cause any resentment; it only added to the muscular man's amusement in teasing the child.

"But why did you come here?" she asked.

"Such a big thing, of course I had to come and see." Below, the ugly scene unfolded as the thermobaric bombs killed a large number of wizards and two Voldemors, and then the two Voldemors descended from the altar again to join the battle.

At this point in time, the bald eagles, facing the wizards—a group not listed in any international treaties—are...

There were far too many weapons at their disposal, Ryan had no doubt about it. If the battle truly turned against them, they would fight Voldemort to the death, even if it meant using their most powerful weapons.

After Voldemort was resurrected, the battle became one-sided.

No way, is the Bald Eagle about to crash and burn? — Although in Ryan's mind, the future Bald Eagle has been on a downward spiral for decades and has already acquired all the characteristics of the end of a dynasty, the military strength of the Bald Eagle cannot be denied.

However, judging from the current battle situation, the two thousand elite wizards and the two Voldemors are too overpowered, especially since these wizards can Apparate, and their spatial manipulation skills are so powerful that the Bald Eagle can hardly defend against them.

Even the most skilled sniper cannot guarantee that the target they aimed at one second will not disappear to another place the next.

Only by covering the area with a hail of bullets can we deter those randomly appearing wizards from advancing.

This battle is simply impossible to fight!

Not only the wizards reached this conclusion, but the soldiers who were still firing hard on the Bald Eagle fleet also came to this conclusion.

"I know what you're trying to say, and I know the wizards' methods are indeed fantastical, but we have indeed inflicted effective casualties on the wizards. Their fighting force is now reduced by half compared to when the battle began! This is our victory!"

The propaganda team is boosting morale.

The staff representative told the commander, "We have indeed inflicted casualties on half of the enemy's propaganda units, but these two powerful wizards who can constantly resurrect are the key to this war! The only way to completely eliminate them is to destroy their altars, preventing them from resurrecting!"

"But we can't go. With warships, we can eliminate the enemy. But in a small-scale amphibious assault, we'd be sitting ducks; the enemy are natural-born special forces!"

The commander knew the key point, but with advanced weapons such as naval guns and thermobaric bombs, they could still cause massive casualties. If a suicide squad were sent to land, it would definitely be a one-way trip!

"Set up a tactical pontoon bridge?"

"Wizards can transform. Don't forget those two little girls at the Pentagon; they turned armored vehicles into pumpkin carriages."

"Parachuts dropping troops from airplanes?"

"Parachutrying is the only safe way to reach the other side, but—if we use suppressive fire, we can't guarantee that the paratroopers won't be interfered with by the wizards during their landing. But when using suppressive fire, the shockwaves and shells will cause friendly fire."

Training high-level air force personnel is extremely difficult, involving the selection of the best of the best. If an exchange were to take place at this point...

The commander couldn't make up his mind because the cost was too high. If he sent ordinary cannon fodder to fill the gaps, he was certain he could...

They were determined enough, but paratroopers weren't just elites; some were also protégés, friends, or relatives of high-ranking officials.

After much hesitation, he finally issued the order: "All naval guns are to open fire at maximum power. Keep firing continuously, use as many shells as you have. Instruct the submarines to launch underwater missiles. All carrier-based fighters to take off, carrying the maximum amount of ammunition for bombing. Fighters from different carriers should take off in shifts without interruption."

Since we can't afford to lose lives, let's use artillery shells to consume them.

This is the underlying principle of the Bald Eagle's war theory: fill every inch of land with artillery shells, and victory will naturally belong to them.

He simply refused to believe that any wizard other than those two powerful wizards who looked exactly alike could be resurrected!

If, in the end, one is able to report to Congress that all of the opponent's manpower has been eliminated, that would be a great achievement.

The fact that those two powerful wizards who looked exactly alike could not be eliminated was ultimately not due to a lack of fighting spirit, and the people in Congress couldn't say anything about it!

As for the soldiers he used as human defensive positions to block the two powerful wizards, they were just necessary sacrifices!

Having endured such a long period of baptism under the rhetoric of the Bald Eagle as a beacon of prosperity, the world's best, and a beacon of freedom and democracy, they are naturally able to rush forward with great enthusiasm and dedicate everything to the Bald Eagle!

After the order was given, the endless barrage of artillery fire roared tirelessly. A few minutes later, the intense heat generated by the friction between the shells exceeded the load that the ship's gun barrels could withstand.

Even so, the firing did not stop. The Bald Eagle fleet unified its target and fired towards the altar. They would fire if they could hit it, and if they couldn't, they would ignore it, but the firepower would not stop.

Voldemort's elite wizards suffered more than half their numbers after being hit by more than a dozen thermobaric bombs, and the remaining half were all wounded, none of them at full strength.

Even though their fighting spirit remained strong, they were completely unable to withstand the firepower, which was no weaker than before.

high in the sky.

In his mental state, Ryan directly experienced for the first time just how powerful the fighting abilities of Helbo and Voldemort's side were!

He knew very well that although dozens of thermobaric bombs had killed hundreds or thousands of elite wizards, the alchemy master behind the Helbo Group could continuously produce elite wizards as long as there were enough materials.

If the Bald Eagle fleet wants to achieve true victory, it must either interrupt Voldemort's resurrection or completely destroy him.

Thinking about this, a question suddenly occurred to him: "If methods like Fiendfire and the basilisk's fangs can destroy Horcruxes, then can the high temperature and radiation generated by powerful weapons destroy Horcruxes?"
