Raven's Claw at Hogwarts - Chapter 619
c617 Making money from the bottom of the cauldron
While the magical world of the United States was filled with joy, a conference room at the Ministry of Magic of the United States was filled with deathly silence.
The current president of the International Federation of Magic, Motore, the president of the Magical Congress of the United States, Catherine Picquery, and a dozen other ministers of the Ministry of Magic, large and small, all stared at a document placed in front of them, with complicated expressions on their faces. Incomparably, he looks like his balls are hurting.
Even if they were beaten to death, they would not be able to understand that such a large organization as the French Ministry of Magic surrendered in just a few hours when faced with Mike’s attack!
The French Ministry of Magic knew that as long as they could hold on for a little longer, they could send troops directly to support them after receiving the news.
By then, even if they can’t get rid of Mike, they can still drag all of Mike’s main troops in France, and their other troops can directly attack the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China and take advantage of the situation!
But the French Ministry of Magic chose to surrender, which made the group of them extremely embarrassed.
Piqueli became more and more angry, punched the table and shouted:
“Stupid guy!”
This movement shocked the people around her. The other ministers all looked at her with unhappy expressions, but no one said anything.
At this time, Motore, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, sighed and said:
“The matter has come to this, and we have no other choice. Everyone, please send the message back now and let the troops already in position start attacking. If we don’t take action, our coalition will become a joke.”
As soon as she said this, a cruel smile appeared on Piqueli’s lips. She called her men and gave the order simply.
But the other ministers looked bitter.
They don’t want to actually go to war with Mike Townley!
You know, people will die in war.
In the wizarding world, manpower is the most precious resource.
If they lose too many Aurors during the war, they will definitely feel heartbroken!
The reason why they joined this coalition was not only for the benefits promised by the International Magical Federation, but they were actually coerced by the Magical Congress and the Federation of the United States.
Originally, they thought they could just cooperate and give the Ministry of Magic some economic sanctions, but now it seems that the worst case scenario has happened.
Several familiar ministers of magic looked at each other, and finally took out the microphone with a sad face and began to issue attack orders to their subordinates.
There is no way, the situation is stronger than the person.
No matter how reluctant they are, they still have to obey the orders of the Federation.
Otherwise it would not be as simple as killing a few Aurors.
Half an hour later, the magic coalition stationed around the country of Yu finally moved into action.
They divided their forces into two groups. Among them, the main force composed of elites from the United States Ministry of Magic and the International Federation of Magic rushed to France, preparing for a direct war with Mike’s main force.
The miscellaneous army composed of other ministries of magic did not change their direction and began to march towards the country.
This is undoubtedly to take care of the ministers of magic. After all, according to intelligence, Mike’s raid this time has mobilized almost all the elite wizards in the country.
In other words, the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China should be extremely empty now, which is perfect for those motley crew to fight each other.
At the same time, Mike in the French Ministry of Magic also received news that the enemy had begun a full-scale attack.
With almost no hesitation, Mike immediately issued an order to Arthur and others, asking them to shrink all their strength and start a battle with the French Ministry of Magic as the center.
This is something that Mike and others have decided long ago.
The reason why they wanted to raid the French Ministry of Magic was not only to slap the Federation in their faces, but also to move the main battlefield to France, so that the losses suffered by the magic community in China would be much less.
And when they were ready, the troops of Mortore and Piqueri also arrived.
The giant slide above the French Ministry of Magic still did not disappear. The white robes and American Aurors were also very brave. They were not afraid of ambush at all and lined up to jump into the slide.
This made Arthur, Franklin and others at the front line overjoyed. Before the opponent could completely land, they ordered people to shoot fiercely into the chute.
The opponent obviously did not expect that the enemy would be so shameless. For a moment, there was a scream in the slide, and the first batch of wizards who slid down were beaten into a sieve almost immediately.
But the sacrifice of the people in the front also alerted the wizards behind. A dozen white-robed wizards from the Federation immediately lowered their center and slid to the front of the team, holding up a golden shield for their comrades behind them.
Only a series of dull explosions were heard, and almost all the spells cast by Franklin and others were blocked.
“Secondary Invincible Shield! Back five meters and prepare to focus fire after landing!”
Arthur quickly issued the order, and the surrounding Aurors quickly retreated to the designated position, preparing for the next round of attacks.
Then, as the union wizards landed, another spell filled the sky.
Arthur even slashed his sword with all his strength directly at the entrance of the slide.
This time, the strong secondary invincible shield finally shattered, and without the protection of the secondary invincible shield, the wizards behind it were directly bombarded into a pile of minced meat by the subsequent magic barrage.
But there are too many people on the other side.
The first group of wizards were killed, and then the second and third batches of wizards rushed over and activated their secondary invincible shields one after another.
This made Arthur, Franklin and others look a little unhappy.
Looking at the number of enemies not far away that was still growing rapidly, Arthur hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his hand to gesture to the people behind him.
After receiving the order, the Aurors of the country started to move.
One by one, they quickly rushed towards the surrounding walls and submerged into the walls without any hindrance.
Upon seeing this, the Federation and the American Aurors were all confused. After struggling for a while, they could only continue walking to the French Ministry of Magic.
However, they had just taken a few steps when several invisible blades flew out from the surrounding walls.
It was extremely easy to bypass the small secondary invincible shield in front of them, setting off a storm of flesh and blood in their team.
This sudden change caused the Federation and the American Auror team to freeze in place again.
Although they are all elites, they will not be easily defeated when they encounter casualties like the French Aurors.
But they also don’t want to die!
So before they found out the cause of the strange scene in front of them, they refused to move forward at all.
At this time, in the Auror office of the French Ministry of Magic, Mike and Benjamin were observing the battle in the hall through surveillance.
When he saw the coalition forces of the Federation and the American Aurors hesitate to move forward, with frightened expressions on their faces, Mike laughed out loud.
Although the current French wizards are simply too weak to pick their feet, the French Ministry of Magic headquarters they own is still quite good.
After all, the ancestors who founded the French Ministry of Magic were truly great people.
Thanks to the efforts of these people, the French Ministry of Magic’s defense measures are actually very complete, even better than those of the French Ministry of Magic.
What is now displayed in front of the Federation and the American Aurors is the first defense method within the French Ministry of Magic – the Phantom Wall.
The walls in the hall of the French Ministry of Magic are not all solid, and there are also a large number of phantom walls mixed in.
These phantom walls are all enchanted with extremely powerful confusion spells, and ordinary elite wizards cannot tell the difference between the real ones and the fake ones.
And they are all movable, so defenders can hide behind these walls and attack the intruders.
This is only the first line of defense.
There are countless magic traps and defense mechanisms scattered in the subsequent magic elevators and on each floor and in each room. It is a very difficult project for the enemy to completely capture the French Ministry of Magic while being defended.
Mike was completely confused after learning about the role of these defense mechanisms. He really couldn’t understand why the wizards of the French Ministry of Magic still chose to surrender when they met despite having such powerful defense methods.
Perhaps, this is the so-called French tradition.
In the office, Mike, who had laughed for a while, finally stopped.
He put on a more serious expression and said to Benjamin:
“I’ll leave this to you.”
“No problem, go ahead.”
Hearing this, Mike nodded, directly pulled the Masonic gold coin on his chest, and disappeared into a twisted phantom.
And when he appeared again, he was already in the teleportation hall within the secret territory of Freemasonry.
Since all the troops have been dispatched to France, the previously bustling teleportation hall now seems a little deserted. There are only two or three guards responsible for reviewing people coming and going on patrol in the large square.
The guards were all stunned when they saw the sudden appearance of Mike, and then they stood up straight and saluted to Mike.
Mike nodded and didn’t pay much attention to them. Instead, he turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Victor’s laboratory.
The French Ministry of Magic and the Korean Ministry of Magic were still under siege. He didn’t come back this time to hang out, but to find Victor.
Even before they raided the French Ministry of Magic, Victor had been studying the random door that Harry had left behind.
By using the replicas of the ‘Holy Light Protection’ seized from the white-robed men of the International Magic Federation as coordinates, Victor was surprised to find that he could directly enter the Holy Mountain through any door.
After learning the news, Mike did not hesitate at all and almost immediately decided to make a plan to raid the Holy Mountain, the headquarters of the International Federation of Magic, alone.
After all, Mike is not an arrogant fool.
It is simply wishful thinking to use one force to fight against the entire wizarding world. The other party can suffocate the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China with just the number of people.
Therefore, if you want to defeat Mike, you must use strange tricks, and going straight to Huanglong and using the decapitation plan is the most suitable solution.
Of course, it was impossible for him to just rush into the Holy Mountain without any preparation. That would be a complete suicide.
You must know that not only are there a large number of white-robed wizards stationed in the Holy Mountain, but they also store countless mysterious objects.
Even if Mike is a legendary wizard, the risk of rushing in and folding in is still very high.
It was precisely because of this that Mike directly ordered a raid on the French Ministry of Magic.
Because only in this way will the coalition forces of the International Federation of Magic be forced to launch attacks all over the world, and only in this way will the Federation withdraw most of its troops from the Holy Mountain.
It can be said that now is the best time for Mike to launch his decapitation plan!
“Bang!”
As the door was pushed open, Mike broke directly into Victor’s newly rebuilt and somewhat crude laboratory.
“Victor! Are you ready?”
Victor, who was lying on the workbench holding something, was frightened when he heard this, and the half-built machine in his hands suddenly fell apart.
He raised his head with a look of sorrow and anger, and when he saw that the person coming was Mike, he resisted the desire to curse, pointed at the random door standing on the side and said angrily:
“Everything is ready! Just go directly!”
Mike nodded and raised his wand to open the door.
But a hand stretched out from the side and grabbed his arm.
Mike turned around and saw Penelo looking at him with a sad face.
“You…you have to be careful.”
Listening to Penello’s crying words, Mike smiled, reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of Penello’s eyes and said:
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
After hearing this, Penello nodded and hesitantly let go of his hand.
But Mike paused as if he suddenly remembered something, and spoke again:
“By the way, how is the war going at the Ministry of Magic in the Republic of China?”
When he got down to business, the expression on Penello’s face became a little more serious.
She sobbed a few times and said as calmly as possible:
“The situation is very good. The attacking wizards belong to several ministries of magic. Although these people are coalition forces, they still go their own way without any cooperation.
Moreover, their commanders seemed unwilling to allow their men to suffer serious casualties and were responding passively.
So although we have relatively few manpower in the Ministry of Magic of China, it is still very easy to block them for a period of time. ”
Hearing this, Mike breathed a sigh of relief.
He was not worried about the French Ministry of Magic. After all, neither Arthur nor Franklin were vegetarians. With their geographical advantages, they would definitely not make any progress against the enemy for a while.
But it’s different here in the Ministry of Magic of China.
Facing the enemy’s coalition forces, Mike was really afraid that their group of old, weak, women and children would be bulldozed directly.
After saying a few more words to Penello, Mike finally opened the door and walked in.
With the world spinning for a while, when Mike regained his feet on the ground, he had appeared on a flat rock platform.
Mike turned his head and observed for a while, and then realized that he was halfway up the holy mountain. Although there were a large number of portals and majestic buildings of different styles on the surrounding platforms, there was no one there.
Seeing this, Mike took a deep breath, smiled evilly, and waved the elder wand in his hand at the portals.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
A series of explosions were heard in the sky-high firelight, and the violent explosions even caused the entire Holy Mountain to tremble a few times!
Mike slowly rose into the air, looked at the rock platform below him that had turned into a sea of fire, smiled, and then waved his wand fiercely.
