The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 617 Commander Lockhart!

With London under attack from the demonized army, it's only a matter of time before the wizarding world is exposed. Moriarty and others, standing at the crossroads of history, are destined to be remembered by history.

Moriarty tidied his hair, and as the sky gradually brightened, his gray hair was given a mysterious glow.

"Once again, the smoke of battle fills the air, but this time, the wizards will no longer hide!"

Even in the face of disaster, Slytherins must maintain their elegance.

Moriarty's voice was amplified by a sound-amplifying spell and reached all of London, where it was heard by scattered wizards who came to help and by terrified Muggles who were constantly fleeing.

"Powerful Confusion Charm!"

Slytherin's staff pointed to the sky, and Moriarty unleashed his magic, making full contact with the sky and the earth.

His elemental magic consisted entirely of terrifying spells with extremely large ranges, clearly unsuitable for use in London.

However, the monsters corrupted by Extis were equipped with high-tech weapons from the Japanese army.

In terms of single-target burst damage, high-tech weapons are undoubtedly a huge threat to wizards.

Moriarty's powerful Confusion Charm took effect, and the high-tech weapons in the monsters' hands instantly turned their muzzles around and then went silent!

When facing wizards and Muggles, no matter how the enemy pulls the trigger or presses the fire button, the high-tech weapons malfunction and cannot fire a single shot.

The crazed monsters angrily discarded their useless weapons like trash, while the wizards gleefully used chains of spells to deliver a barrage of blows to these brutes.

"Magic is a miracle!"

Seeing the results, Leon roared excitedly; Moriarty's Confusion Charm had opened their minds.

When fighting against modern armies, damage-dealing spells are less effective at maximizing damage output.

Using mental spells to confuse and disrupt the enemy is the wizard's best way to deal with modern armies.

More and more wizards began to chant spells, and spells such as confusion spells, restraint spells, banishment spells, illusion spells, howling spells, vanishing spells, and hallucinogenic spells were used extensively and frequently.

"Bang!"

A dazzling firework appeared in the sky above the west coast, transforming into a shield in mid-air—the Hogwarts school emblem.

Upon seeing the fireworks, Leon's face lit up with excitement. He shouted, "Hold on, guys, reinforcements are on their way!"

As agreed with Lockhart, the Hogwarts crest represents faith, and now Lockhart has finally arrived.

Extis on the warship also noticed the signal, but it couldn't afford to consider the issue of reinforcements.

It installed a skeletal body on itself and hurriedly stuffed the Heart of Darkness into the chest of "Night View Royal".

"Hiss... Oh, my master," Extis said respectfully, enduring the sharp pain in his hand, "It was my dirty hands that defiled you."

In reality, it was the Heart of Darkness that corrupted his hands. Extis's immortal body, which he called the "enemy of life," began to show cracks under the invasion of dark elements.

"The next respawn time is 10 minutes later."

Gamp's voice sounded somewhat helpless.

He was considering whether to resurrect Extis in his body. Although Extis's strength was not comparable to Ye Jingyu's, Extis was willing to be controlled by the Heart of Darkness, which was something Ye Jingyu could not match, thus greatly shortening his resurrection time.

If the situation weren't so urgent and dangerous, Gamp would never have considered resurrecting himself on a skeleton. However, there was also a Dragon Mother in the sky, occasionally unleashing a bolt of lightning!

During this time, wizard phantoms kept appearing around and behind Moriarty!

"Young Master, we've arrived!"

A wizard dressed in magnificent robes adorned with the flags of various countries spoke to Moriarty in a warm and respectful tone.

Moriarty turned around and saw Lockhart's excited expression.

"I am now the Vice President of the International Federation of Wizards and the Honorary Chairman of the Anti-Black Wizards Association."

"I have brought elite Aurors from the Ministries of Magic of more than 100 countries around the world."

"I can proudly say, young master, I have not let you down!"

More and more Auror phantoms materialized, and to their astonishment, Lockhart bowed to Moriarty, tears welling in his eyes.

The Lockhart of today is different from the clown in the original story. He has been entrusted with important tasks by the Ministries of Magic of hundreds of countries, wields great power, and has thousands of Aurors at his command!

Lockhart still holds Moriarty in high esteem and gratitude.

"I clearly remember that day five years ago, an unprecedented encounter that led me to a life I had never experienced before."

Lockhart looked at the warships at sea, his gaze locking onto Extis. The skeleton's body reflected a hazy, dark light in the morning glow. Lockhart confidently volunteered, "This skeleton is Gamp's right-hand man, and I am the young master's right-hand man. Please hand it over to me."

Moriarty nodded to Lohart and said expectantly, "Show me your power. Today you are no longer a novelist, but a true mage."

Lockhart drew his wand and stepped forward quietly, with Aurors from all nations watching his every move.

"Please follow my instructions."

Lockhart described himself as having a "loud voice".

"Aurors from the Far East, please use your secret arts to protect our allies."

A group of wizards dressed in ancient robes immediately took out yellow paper talismans and stuck them in mid-air.

"Aurors of Africa, use your talents! Don't hold back! Curse your enemies to your heart's content! Our enemies are also masters of curses, so don't let yourselves be outdone."

The Egyptian mummy princess stepped forward from the crowd, muttering incantations.

"South American Aurors, please work together with Professor Polly, Marcus, and Luna to unleash the full potential of the magical creatures."

Professor Polly led the centaur settlement, their hooves stomping eagerly.

"North American Aurors, as planned, please hold our position."

"We'll establish our base by leveraging four locations: London City Airport, Kingston Hotel on the Thames, Brunel University, and Wembley!"

James and his son rode flying broomsticks and led their men toward the planned stronghold.

"Finally, we are the Aurors of Europe, those of you most familiar with the enemy's magic. Follow me, and together we will form a spearhead and storm the enemy's warships."

"We told them, this is the world of wizards, this is the age of magic!"

Lockhart raised his wand, and thousands of Aurors followed suit, creating a spectacular scene.

Grindelwald, standing behind, felt a lump in his throat as he recalled the saints' most glorious moment.

Dumbledore rolled up his robes and trousers, and buried his head in searching for something.

"What are you doing?"

Grindelwald looked puzzled. Although... cough cough... it looked quite good, but... cough cough, this is a battlefield...

"I have a scar on my right knee with a complete map of the London Underground on it. I'm comparing the map with Lockhart's assigned tasks," Dumbledore said seriously.

"What did you figure out?" Grindelwald frowned. Well, it wasn't what I thought.

"Lockhart was simply a military genius."

Dumbledore seemed to be seeing Lockhart in a new light, exclaiming with delight, "His formations and defenses, his offense and support, have effectively countered Extis's monster army."

"Stop talking, I'm going too."

With his ambition ignited, Grindelwald clearly had no desire to talk and headed towards the battlefield. Dumbledore smiled, shook his head, and followed him.

They flew together to Moriarty's side, where Moriarty had already gathered many skilled warriors, all of whom were top wizards from the original story or under his command.

Under Lockhart's command, the wizards formed a quadrilateral position when viewed from above, and the position rapidly expanded as the battle progressed.

Wizards from various continents cooperated to wipe out the monster army, and the battle line advanced towards the Japanese warships at sea.

"What are we waiting for?" Jericho shouted impatiently to Moriarty, "Charge! Charge in and kill Gamp!"

(Have a great weekend, guys!)
