Raven's Claw at Hogwarts - Chapter 631
c629 The clarion call for counterattack
“boom!”
Accompanied by a thunderous explosion, flames exploded on the battlefield, instantly repelling the Piqueli troops who were about to launch an attack.
“I heard that you seem to be causing a lot of trouble for my friends.”
Mike’s figure emerged from the flames, along with his slightly gloomy words.
And looking at the gorgeous starlight-like flames and the familiar figure vaguely revealed in the flames, the corners of Arthur’s mouth couldn’t help but raise slightly.
“Mike!”
Unlike Arthur, Franklin was so excited that he could only express his emotions by shouting.
Because they know that now that Mike has appeared here.
Then it means that Mike’s plan has been successful, which means that the balance of the war has completely tilted towards their side.
Mike turned his head when he heard Franklin’s call, smiled and gave a chest-hammer salute to the Los Santos wizards who were looking at him blankly from behind.
At this time, these ordinary wizards finally reacted. Everyone responded instinctively, and then started shouting like Franklin.
War is never pretty.
They had lost too many comrades in this damn war, and now they couldn’t wait to end it all with victory and the blood of their enemies.
For a time, the crowded battlefield echoed with cheers and the muffled sounds of fists hitting chests.
As for Piqueli’s side, everyone’s faces darkened the moment they saw Mike appear.
Especially Picquery herself.
Others may not know it, but she knows it.
The reason why Motore disappeared suddenly was to start another battle with Mike Townley elsewhere.
Now that Mike is back, it goes without saying who wins and who loses between the two of them.
And with the loss of Motore, their side also lost the only high-level force that could compete with Mike Townley. This was undoubtedly bad news.
But after all, Motore is not a vegetarian. If he wants to defeat or kill Motore, Mike Townley must have paid some price. This means that the opponent is probably not in peak condition now.
In this case, if they can unite as one, relying on their numerical advantage does not mean that they cannot fight.
Thinking like this, Piqueli instinctively turned her gaze to the wizard coalition in front of her.
But with just one look, the trace of luck that originally arose in Piqueli’s heart completely dissipated.
Because all she could see from the faces of her American Aurors was fear and nervousness. Such a group of people could not be counted on at all.
Those Federation wizards still maintained their fighting spirit due to their faith and well-trained training, but it was simply wishful thinking for them to deal with Mike Townley.
If this is the case, other options can only be adopted.
Piqueli’s eyes narrowed, and in just a few seconds she had already formulated her next action plan.
She whispered something to her deputy first, and then raised her arms and directly ordered the entire army to continue executing the plan she had given before.
For a moment, the coalition forces that had been forced back by Mike gathered again, and among them, the coalition wizards holding up golden light shields were placed at the front.
At the same time, starting from Piqueli, the Aurors from the Magical Congress of the United States were gradually withdrawing upstairs.
That’s what Picquery decided.
She knew the power of the legendary wizard very well. It was impossible for them to win this war, so instead of expending all their troops here, it would be better to retreat and save their remaining strength.
And this so-called active force does not include the wizards of the Federation.
Yes. That’s right.
The wizards in these federations have indeed very high combat literacy, and each one of them is not afraid of death.
But Picquery knew that each of these guys were brainwashed lunatics.
They will only be loyal to the International Federation of Magic, and there is no way they can become her power.
In this case, let them use their remaining energy to cut off the rear for the American Aurors.
Of course, Piqueli is not a demon. It is impossible to just let the wizards of the Federation stay and die. That would be too heartless and too obvious.
There are also some American Aurors in this broken team.
It’s just that all of these guys are scum who are about to retire and don’t have much residual value.
This should be considered waste utilization, right?
Thinking like this, Piqueli took one last deep look at Mike in the distance, and then flew upstairs without even thinking about it surrounded by the crowd.
At the same time, Mike also detected the enemy’s movements through his magic perception vision, and he detected Piqueri’s intention almost instantly.
This made him feel angry.
You must know that the reason why he came here in person even with his injured body was to end everything.
And now the other party actually wants to escape?
He will never allow this!
Almost without any hesitation, Mike flicked the elder wand in his hand, and a pillar of fire that was ten meters thick and made entirely of cursed flames spurted out.
Seeing this spectacular scene, the American Aurors in the opposite military formation stood frozen on the spot, and some even pushed away their surrounding comrades and started running towards the rear.
But unlike the American Aurors, the white-robed wizards of the Federation not only did not retreat, they even took two steps forward with the golden light shield.
“Boom!~”
The pillar of fire collided with the shield wall composed of countless light shields.
Although these golden light shields were strong, they were just imitations of the ‘Holy Light Protection’. The moment the two sides touched, a large number of light shields were directly vaporized along with the Federation wizards behind them.
But this still failed to make the joint wizards retreat. If the people in the first row are dead, then the people in the second row will go up. If the people in the second row are dead, then the people in the third row will go up…
In this way, these white-robed wizards from the Federation used this heroic method to resist Mike’s attack!
This scene made Mike frown.
He couldn’t understand it!
According to the strength of these federation wizards, they should have noticed that Piqueli’s troops left them and retreated, but even so, they still chose to stay and die!
Now Mike finally knew why Arthur and the others were fighting so hard.
It is indeed not an easy task to face such a group of fearless and powerful lunatics.
They are madmen, and at the same time, they are also a group of respectable opponents. At least they are better than Piqueli, who ran away from battle.
Therefore, Mike also decided to show his own attitude and give these guys a spectacular death as the end of their lives!
“Huhuhu!~”
A strange whistling sound sounded over the battlefield.
An American Auror who was hiding behind those Federation wizards instinctively raised his head and looked at the source of the sound. However, after just one glance, his expression suddenly became dull.
Because above their heads at this moment, a giant flame hammer that was so huge that it had obscured their vision was rapidly condensing into shape.
“Merlin’s beard…”
The Auror muttered to himself.
If he could, he really wanted to turn around and run away, but his legs were already in a state of violent trembling, and they didn’t obey his orders at all.
Now all he could do was keep his head up.
Under his gaze, the flaming giant hammer that was still slightly illusory gradually solidified, and then slammed down on them!
The white-robed wizards of the Federation were naturally aware of the existence of the giant flaming hammer in the sky.
They adjusted their formation almost as soon as the giant hammer hit them. They gathered together like the sword and shield warriors of ancient Rome and raised their light shields, forming a semicircular shield array.
But…does it really work?
You must know that after the battle with Motore, Mike has completely understood the characteristics of this holy light protection.
These so-called invincible shields cannot block blunt weapon attacks…
“Buzz!~”
The flaming hammer fell, and the dazzling white light and intense heat wave filled all the senses of Mike and others. When they opened their eyes again, the coalition forces that had previously blocked them had completely disappeared, replaced by A huge pit leads directly to the next level. On the edge of the pit, scarlet magma is even flowing downwards.
This scene stunned the Los Santos wizards present. They all stared blankly at the pothole, unable to even speak.
Seeing this, Arthur shook his head, drew his sword and jumped out of the hole.
Frankly also reacted, leaned to the edge of the hole, raised his neck and started to look down.
After a while, Arthur came up.
He shook the black polymer sword in his hand, nodded to Mike and said:
“Confirmed, all enemies have been killed. Do we still want to pursue the remaining ones?”
Mike had used too much magic power in the blow just now, which caused his wound to start to hurt slightly.
But after hearing this, he still shook his head and said:
“No need, leave some people to guard here, and the rest should return to the Ministry of Magic of China. The situation there is not optimistic either.”
There is indeed no need to pursue now. In Mike’s magic perception, Picquery and her troops have already escaped from the anti-Apparition spell range of the French Ministry of Magic and disappeared.
It is estimated that everyone has arrived in their hometown by now.
Hearing this, Arthur nodded and began to organize people to prepare to support the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China.
Franklin, on the other hand, noticed something strange about Mike, stepped forward to support Mike very covertly, and asked softly:
“Mike, are you okay?”
“It’s not a big problem, I can still hold on.” Mike nodded, but soon he frowned again and said, “You were holding me on the other side, and you were pulling on my wound!”
“Oh oh oh! Sorry!”
…
Ten minutes later, Mike finally returned to the Ministry of Magic with most of his troops.
But what they were going to was not the teleportation point originally set in the logistics office on the first floor underground, but the teleportation hall of the Ministry of Magic.
The reason why Mike wanted to do this was to prevent the incident at the French Ministry of Magic from happening again and directly block the escape route of the wizard coalition in advance.
Ever since, when Mike and others arrived, what appeared in front of them was not Penello and others, but a group of stunned enemies.
“attack!”
Following Mike’s order, Arthur, Franklin and others took the lead in entering the enemy’s formation, and then the Los Santos wizards each formed small tactical formations and began to harvest the lives of the enemy as a team.
However, they never left Mike too far. This time their first priority was to protect Mike. This was an order forcibly issued by Franklin and Benjamin.
For a moment, spells were everywhere in the hall of the Ministry of Magic, and there were endless shouts of death and screams.
Soon, a large circle of open space was cleared with Mike as the center, which was filled with corpses of the coalition troops.
At this time, the remaining people finally reacted, but they did not fight back, but knelt on the ground one by one and chose to surrender.
Mike wasn’t surprised by their behavior.
These coalition forces dispatched to the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China were originally a ragtag group, and now they are faced with the situation of being directly pushed into the back row by local high-level combat forces. It is normal to surrender.
After letting Arthur and others kill for a while, Mike only ordered a ceasefire when the number of enemies in the hall of the Ministry of Magic was already less than our own strength.
He did not intend to kill them all. Every wizard was a valuable resource. Rather than annihilating them, he was more inclined to take these people as prisoners, and then ask for ransom from the Ministry of Magic to which these people belonged.
This is also the unspoken rule of war in the wizarding world.
It was not until all the enemies on the scene had their wands broken off and bundled into Muggles that the defenders of the Ministry of Magic on the front line realized the change in the situation and forced the remaining enemies into the hall of the Ministry of Magic.
Taking this opportunity, Mike also saw the battle robot Victor mentioned for the first time.
Mike’s first reaction was that they were as crude as Victor said.
They are so simple that they don’t even have a shell, they are just bright white mechanical skeletons.
But they are as simple as they come, and with the help of the weapons and equipment given to them by Victor, their combat capabilities are still very good.
In comparison, the new recruits that Mike left stationed at the Ministry of Magic of the United States were much weaker.
This can be seen from the fact that most of the teams that counterattacked into the hall of the Ministry of Magic were combat robots.
Sighing, Mike finally led Benjamin and others towards the mixed man-machine troop, because at the front of the troop, Victor had already spotted them and was waving to him excitedly.
“Mike! Did you see that? How beautiful they are!”
As soon as he got close, Mike heard Victor’s excited shouts.
After giving Victor a few perfunctory words, Mike reluctantly asked him to call Penello after realizing that Victor’s mind was completely occupied by this so-called combat robot.
Now he can no longer communicate.
Taking advantage of the gap before Penelo arrived, Mike once again gathered Arthur, Franklin and others together and said to them:
“Assemble the troops immediately, we are going to prepare for a counterattack!”
