Chapter 495 ?Hope

Chapter 495 Hope

In Malfoy Manor, the Vanishing Cabinet is standing quietly in the darkness.

Not far from it, hundreds of Death Eaters were gathering in the spacious square of Malfoy Manor, looking excitedly at the Vanishing Cabinet in front of them.

Tonight, they will attack Hogwarts. If everything goes well, when the sun rises again tomorrow, Voldemort will become the new king of the wizarding world in the country, and they, the Death Eaters, will Enjoy endless glory and wealth as a Dragon Minister!

This was obviously exciting and good news, but what was surprising was that although these lawless Death Eaters were excited, they did not show the chaos and noise of the past. Instead, they forcibly suppressed their voices and whispered, From time to time, I would secretly glance at the open door of the villa in the distance.

Following their gazes, they could see Voldemort, wearing a silk black robe, sitting at the long table with his eyes closed and meditating.

Voldemort was in a very complicated mood at this time. For tonight's action, he had almost mobilized all the power he had in his hands.

Not only are the hundreds of Death Eaters gathered outside now, but he has also placed some people around Hogwarts so that he can attack Hogwarts in one fell swoop.

In order to ensure the success of the plan, he even sent an army of Dementors, the remaining werewolves and some dark magic creatures to ambush in the Forbidden Forest. This was almost a complete solution. Voldemort had no idea how he could lose!

But the strange thing is that Voldemort feels a little uneasy deep in his heart, and this uneasiness continues to amplify as time goes by, making him very anxious!

Could it be that Draco and Bellatrix teamed up to deceive him?

As soon as this idea appeared, Voldemort shook his head instinctively.

Bellatrix is ​​currently her most loyal subordinate, bar none, and it is impossible for such a person to betray her.

As for Draco.

Voldemort really looked down on him, he was even worse than his father Lucius. You must know that Lucius at least has the courage to betray his master and live a good life alone, but Draco can only tremble in front of him. Such a waste cannot do such an advanced thing as betrayal, not to mention, The opponent's soul was searched by me using Legilimency!

"Ding~ding~dong~ding~"

A crisp ringing sound suddenly came from the huge clock above Voldemort's head. A small wooden door on it suddenly opened, and a metal bird flew out of it, chirping while hovering in the air.

Suddenly, a green light flashed, the chirping of the birds stopped suddenly, and a burning smell gradually spread.

Voldemort opened his eyes, flicked the wand in his hand irritably, and looked at the corner of the hall again.

There, the Malfoys were standing quietly, and when they saw Voldemort looking towards them, Draco instinctively began to tremble again, and Narcissa hurriedly hugged him.

Curling his lips in disdain, Voldemort floated out of the hall and onto the square with his wand in hand like a ghost.

With his arrival, the square that was still echoing with whispers suddenly became silent. I don't know who started it first, but all the Death Eaters knelt down on one knee towards Voldemort!

Looking at the large group of people kneeling in front of him, Voldemort's annoyance suddenly eased a little.

He laughed wildly twice, then pointed at the disappearing cabinet and roared:

"The time has come! Let's go!"

There was a burst of cheers from the crowd below, and a team of five people walked from the crowd to the disappearing cabinet according to the original plan. They would enter Hogwarts as the vanguard, leading the way for the large army that would follow.

The faces of these five people were full of excitement. Although the work they were about to do was very dangerous, they didn't care because Voldemort promised them a lot of benefits! It can be said that as long as they survive tonight, they can live on the golden galleons for the rest of their lives!

Of course, the premise of all this is that Voldemort keeps his word.

With excitement, these five people squeezed into the small disappearing cabinet. Voldemort was also very kind. He even stepped forward and closed the cabinet door for these five people with his own hands.

"Wish ya'll good luck."

Following Voldemort's cold and hoarse blessing words, the five people fell into darkness.

But before they could get excited about receiving Voldemort's blessing, a dizzy feeling swept over them, and they were constantly spinning as if they were put into a running washing machine.

I don’t know how long it took, but this unspeakable terrifying rotation finally stopped. At this time, the five people in the disappearing cabinet were already in a mess and piled together.

"This damn thing! Ugh~!"

A Death Eater struggled to open the door of the Vanishing Cabinet, opened his mouth and cursed angrily, but in the middle of his words, he couldn't hold back anymore, covered his mouth and squeezed out of the cabinet with all his strength.

It was pitch black outside the cabinet, but the Death Eaters were not too surprised. Voldemort had already told them that darkness was normal in the Hogwarts storage room where the other end of the cabinet was located.

After a preliminary reconnaissance of the environment and confirmation of safety, the Death Eater couldn't help it anymore and bent down to start venting the nausea in his chest.

But just when he was about to burst out, a thick cone-shaped bullet suddenly penetrated the back of his head, blasting his entire head into a bloody mist!

"boom!"

After a few seconds, a loud gunshot echoed in the canyon!

…

Avery Secret Realm, Ambush Point 1 on the cliff of the U-shaped valley.

With the help of night vision binoculars, Franklin could clearly see the Death Eater's head being exploded into a mist of blood.

He put down his binoculars in surprise and looked at the sniper beside him.

Although he had been prepared for it, the power of the Muggle sniper rifle far exceeded his expectations. This kind of power was almost comparable to the regular attack spells of the Aurors!

The sniper next to him may have also noticed Franklin's gaze. He raised his face covered in ink and smiled honestly at Franklin.

He is a member of the Royal Navy's Special Boat Regiment and the most elite special forces soldier in the country.

This mission seemed too simple to him, and he even felt a little looked down upon.

It's just a fixed-point target shooting, and it's still at a distance of about 500 meters. He can complete the task perfectly without a spotter.

And at this distance, their commander even equipped them with anti-material sniper rifles!

This thing is usually used to fight tanks! It is so powerful that the large caliber of bullets has almost nothing to do with the gun. Its real name is the sniper gun.

It is a very cruel thing to hit someone with this thing. If the United Nations finds out about this, they will have to go to a military court!

Thinking of this, the young man with his face covered in ink suddenly looked around. There were several sniper cannons and machine guns scattered around him, and around each weapon stood several people wearing robes and holding handheld weapons. The strange figure of a short wooden stick.

Looking at the wizards, the ink man suddenly smiled.

This is a magical world. What a bullshit United Nations. If you have the guts, come here and catch me!

Just as the ink man was breathing and thinking wildly, several more gunshots almost connected together rang out from both sides of the cliff. Franklin hurriedly raised the telescope and looked down again.

As expected, the remaining four Death Eaters were also killed one after another under the attack of the sniper cannon. However, unlike the Death Eater whose head was simply blown off, the following Death Eaters were also killed. Hit in the torso, their bodies had completely disappeared under the terrifying destructive power of the sniper cannon. Only a large stain of blood and minced meat on the ground could prove that they once existed.

"Well done!"

Franklin lowered his voice and roared, and the wizards around him had almost the same reaction.

You must know that this is the first attempt of Muggle weapons against wizards. Now that they have achieved such rich results, they can increase their investment in this aspect in the future!

However, the battle had just begun. Not long after the five Death Eaters died, there was another noise in the disappearing cabinet below the canyon.

Five more Death Eaters were teleported over!

And this is not over yet, the disappearing cabinet did not stop like the first time, but continued to shake violently.

Along with its movements, Death Eaters were continuously teleported over one after another. In a short time, dozens of Death Eaters appeared above the place where the five Death Eaters originally died!

"attack!"

Franklin didn't care about anything else. He roared and waved the wand in his hand. A green light shot out from his hand and shot straight towards the Death Eaters below.

The reaction of others was not slow either. The wizard troops launched attacks one after another. Colorful magic spells appeared suddenly, dragging tail flames and flew out one after another.

The Muggle firepower did not show weakness. The machine gunners who had been waiting for a long time fired their triggers one after another. With a deafening sound, a series of orange-red barrages that almost stretched across the city under the night sky were directed at the Death Eaters below. They threw it away!

"There's an ambush!"

A long-haired Death Eater screamed shrilly, and under this terrifying firepower, most of their team was wiped out almost instantly, which made him feel terrified.

His master, Voldemort, was actually deceived!

Shaking his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, he gritted his teeth and forcibly released the reinforced armor protection!

A translucent shield appeared above the Death Eaters, but in the next moment, endless spells and bullets came suddenly, blasting the shield and the Death Eaters below it into a pile of pieces. Meat!

"Don't scatter! Get together and use everything to protect us!"

The Death Eaters sent by Voldemort were not vegetarians, and no one knew who suddenly roared. The Death Eaters who were originally fighting on their own reacted one after another, gathered around the Vanishing Cabinet, and acted in unison. Got the magic wand!

A thick white light curtain slowly emerged, enveloping all the Death Eaters.

Different from the reinforced armor protection released by a single Death Eater before, this white light curtain composed of the combined efforts of all Death Eaters showed an almost abnormal defense.

Whether it is a bullet or a rocket, hitting this light curtain will have no other effect except bursting out a burst of fire, and the magic spell will be directly ejected the moment it comes into contact with this light curtain. Fly——This light curtain actually has the ability to refract magic!

Seeing this, the faces of the Muggle soldiers finally showed a look of surprise. This was the first time they encountered such a situation.

Compared with them, the wizards were much calmer. Not only did they not stop attacking, on the contrary, they became more ruthless.

They knew very well that although the magic shield released by this and everyone's power was powerful, the amount of magic consumed was also exaggerated. Facing their current bombardment, these Death Eaters simply could not last long. .

This is indeed the case. Although the Death Eaters below gained a brief respite with the help of the light curtain, this was just a last resort. Under the double attack of magic spells and Muggle firearms, the entire semicircular light curtain quickly collapsed. It became shaky. If it weren't for the continuous transmission of Death Eaters from the disappearing cabinet to join the camp that maintains the shield, they would have been killed long ago.

However, the existence of the light curtain did give them some time to react. Many Death Eaters began to try to use Apparition to escape, but the reality was cruel. No matter how many times they released Apparition, except for the one created on the tip of the wand, It doesn't do anything except emit some smoke.

Gradually, an atmosphere of despair began to spread among the Death Eaters.

Everyone knows that if they continue like this, they will die today.

More and more people gave up, and without the magic power of these people, the light curtain at the zenith became shaky.

The commander of the Death Eaters had almost broken teeth. He cursed angrily and tried to get those people to cheer up, but now no one would listen to him! Suddenly, through the sky full of magic spells and firelight, he clearly saw that they were now in a U-shaped canyon, and in front of them was a smooth road!

"Everyone! Don't give up, the exit is in front! Break forward!"

The Death Eater commander decisively issued the order. Under his reminder, more and more Death Eaters discovered the exit ahead, and a flame called hope burned in their hearts!

"Come on!"

They roared loudly and raised their wands, and the light curtain that had become dim instantly solidified again, and the light on it was even stronger than before!

In an emergency, the Death Eaters began to move.

Under the threat of death, these Death Eaters who originally disliked each other showed a very high degree of tacit understanding. With firm eyes, they started walking towards the outside of the canyon step by step with the firepower above their heads!

But their actions were clearly visible to Franklin and others above the canyon. Looking at the slow-moving Death Eaters below, the corners of Franklin's and others' mouths raised.
