"... let me see if you need help."
Gore, who had just emerged from behind the tree, said stiffly and took two more steps this way.
Bellatrix waved his hand impatiently and said, "no, just go back and help KRAB. I don't need you to get involved."
To deal with an Auror girl who has just officially taken office, where does Bellatrix need other people's help. After staring at the tall Goyle, she continued to chase after Tonks in the grass.
But she did not expect that as soon as she turned around, she caught a glimpse of a fleeting red light from the corner of her eyes.
"Fainted to the ground."
"What --"
Bellatrix's reaction was not slow. She immediately wanted to dodge, but she didn't have time after all. As soon as half a word came out of her mouth, she felt a strong attack on her back, and then fell straight to the ground.
Until then, the "Gore" behind her smiled, changed her figure and face for a while, and changed into Tonks again.
In fact, if it were not for the complex environment here and in the open space without terrain cover, Tonks, who is not good at frontal combat, would only be beaten.
But once there are obstacles to block the line of sight, Tonks's advantage will really come into play.
"It's hard for the big man to change, and there's too much meat..." Tonks complained and added a whole body bondage spell to Bellatrix lying on the ground.
But at the moment when she wanted to take the other party away, a curse sounded quietly from the woods on her side, and then a fire flashed.
She quickly tumbled again, ignoring Bellatrix, whom she had brought down, and moved quickly in the forest.
Fighting in the woods has such a disadvantage - it is difficult for inexperienced people to find the exact location of sneakers in the dense woods.
Although a little unwilling, it would be too passive if the enemy's dark and self-evident situation could not be changed as soon as his mind stood there.
Auror's training was not in vain, and Tonks knew the danger.
However, not to mention that Tonks tried his best to get rid of the Raiders in the forest, Lupin was entangled by the enemy and couldn't help her
At this time, on the avenue, the main combat forces of both sides are fighting fiercely!
In fact, it's the main combat power, but it doesn't mean that the main members of the death eaters are here. This time Voldemort assigned people, but the most was some peripheral members who were not strong.
There are elite Aurora Kingsley at the end of the order of the Phoenix, as well as the support of montungus and dedalo, but after all, there are still more death eaters.
Fortunately, their main purpose is to hold each other down as much as possible, and they don't need to hold each other down. So even if we fight and retreat, as long as we delay for a while without casualties, we will make a profit.
It has to be said that Kingsley is worthy of being one of the main forces of the order of the Phoenix and is unambiguous in fighting.
He built several walls with magic spells and kept interfering with each other's progress. Even though he looked a little embarrassed, he dragged several ordinary Death Eaters alone. He was really powerful.
Between the temporary obstacles built by the magic spell on the avenue, the colored beams of the magic spell kept crisscrossing back and forth, and stone debris and earth splashed high and scattered, causing pain in the face.
Occasionally, some people on the Death Eater side were hit by a magic spell, or lying or lying on the ground, and no one took care of them. The indifference of the human nature of those villains was fully revealed.
But even though the number of people has been reduced by several, few people run into the woods. Their individual strength is not strong. If they go to the forest, once dispersed, their advantages will disappear - they are not all fools.
It is still a moonlit night, and their task is exploratory attack. Fighting on the avenue is their first choice.
At least that's what Voldemort ordered.
The night wind is still blowing the leaves lightly and sending up layers of green waves, but the sound of various spells and intermittent shouts completely cover up the rustling among the tree crowns.
In today's not quiet night, the sound of all kinds of fighting has added a bit of restlessness and uneasiness.
Voldemort hasn't appeared yet, and only a few of the central members of the death eaters have come. Who will know where they are waiting for a chance?
"Upside down!"
Kingsley let out another magic spell, and then he flashed behind the obstacle and gently breathed out.
He didn't know when the reinforcements on their side would arrive?
……
Besides, in the open space in front of Hogwarts castle, mad eye moody has returned to his own appearance. At present, he is running after those two students!
"Armor --"
"Except your weapon!"
Since the two guys sneaked out of the Quidditch stadium and tried to leave the Hogwarts range, Moody's had an eye on them.
When Moody's showed up, one of them had inadvertently fallen.
Another guy immediately wanted to put an iron armor spell on himself for self-defense, but he didn't expect Moody's spell to come very quickly. Before he finished reading the spell, he was caught off guard by Moody.
Although he was not taken away from his wand, he immediately fell into the disadvantage with such a flash.
The real strength of old Moody's seems to be gradually revealed, which proves that his appearance usually causes panic among death eaters, and this time is no exception.
"There are many obstacles."
Moody's last spell had just been issued, and the next spell followed.
The other party was just trying to avoid. It was obvious that before he could stand firm, he immediately found that he was like falling into viscous glue, and his action immediately became slow.
"Fainted to the ground."
When Moody's third magic spell went straight to the other party's forehead, the man was trapped in the effect of the obstacle curse and completely lost his ability to resist.
The battle was unusually fast. Old Moody's fought one against two. Although one of the results was caused by a sneak attack, it is not difficult to see that the senior old Auror is still as brave as before.
After regaining Ravenclaw's golden crown, Moody's rushed to the back door - there was a lake. Generally speaking, it was not a suitable attack route, but it had to be defended.
As for the two Death Eaters lurking in the school to snatch the golden crown, after they tipped off, they are now worthless. Moody's just added a control spell, and hid them in a nearby corner.
……
If Voldemort's plan this time, in fact, the arrangement is quite detailed.
Whether it is internal and external response to capture Ravenclaw's golden crown, or an all-round exploratory attack, it is enough to make Hogwarts's existing defensive forces busy.
Even with Snape, a double agent, as long as he can't reveal his identity for one day, he can't completely disclose the news from Voldemort to Dumbledore.
But now Marca is stirring with Voldemort, which is very different.
Even if Snape communicated all the information to Dumbledore and used the information to perfectly deploy the defense, Snape could push all the information leakage on Marca.
Snape is an important nail that Dumbledore nailed to Voldemort. As long as he is still there, the order of the Phoenix will never become a blind man with spare strength.
Dumbledore certainly understood these principles, and now, although he went to the school gate, he did not immediately help the members of the order of the Phoenix.
One was because he found that there was no great danger on their side, and the other was Voldemort's backhand.
His greatest combat power should be used to hold down the array.
Because no one knows whether Voldemort, who hasn't appeared yet, will appear tonight? If he showed up in person, where would he appear?
Dumbledore waited quietly while hiding in the dark and staring at the members of the order of the Phoenix.
As the night went on, the moonlight gradually thickened, and there didn't seem to be many clouds in the night sky - it must be another sunny day tomorrow.
But before dawn, Voldemort's threat was one of the biggest difficulties to get through tonight.
Just as the little wizards were taken to the castle auditorium by the professor and nervously laid their beds to rest, several creepy eyes seemed to flash through the depths of the forbidden forest.
……
Compared with the chaos of Hogwarts castle, far below the mountains of Albania, Maka is squatting on the ground and taking research notes.
The object of his study is naturally the huge bewitching monument in front of him.
Because there is a lot of information in the book of sin, now his research is a little simpler than expected.
But anyway, this mysterious ancient magic prop can't be studied and understood for a while.
Maka also knows this, and he doesn't have much time left.
He wrote in a hurry in his notes. His handwriting seemed a little messy, but he didn't have time to care about it.
What he is writing now cannot be written automatically with a magic spell. He needs to write down many things related to rules in magic words. Handwriting is one of the essential steps in this research.
After a while, he put the quill pen into the ink bottle and rubbed his wrist to relax his slightly stiff muscles caused by long writing.
"... calculate the time. It's estimated that Hogwarts has almost started?"
He took out the magic pocket watch, opened the cover, looked at the time, and then stuffed it back into the pocket of his shirt and vest. Then he stretched hard.
"No, we have to speed up..." he thought about it, poured himself a whole bottle of magic medicine to refresh his mind, and then immediately put himself into the research again.
In front of him, beside the base of the bewitching monument, a rune array was faintly glowing with a faint blue light, adding a bit of mystery to the main tomb.
