Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 495 Hope
Inside the Malfoy Manor, the Vanishing Cabinet was standing quietly in the darkness.

And not far from it, hundreds of Death Eaters were gathering on the spacious square in Malfoy Manor excitedly looking at the disappearing cabinet in front of them.

Tonight, they are going to attack Hogwarts. If it goes well, when the sun rises tomorrow, Voldemort will become the new king of the wizarding world in the country, and these Death Eaters, Enjoy endless glory and wealth from the status of a minister of the dragon!

This is obviously exciting and good news, but what is surprising is 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 sneak a glance at the open door of the villa in the distance.

And following their gazes, one could see that Voldemort, who was wearing a silk black robe, was sitting at the long table with his eyes closed, meditating.

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

Not only the hundreds of Death Eaters gathered outside, but he also placed some people around Hogwarts, so that when the time comes, 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.
But the strange thing is that Voldemort felt a little uneasy deep in his heart, and this uneasiness continued to magnify as time went by, making him very anxious!
Could it be that Draco and Bellatrix have teamed up to deceive themselves?

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

Bellatrix is ​​currently his most loyal subordinate, not one of them, such a person is impossible to betray.

And 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 guts to betray his master and live a good life alone, but Draco can only tremble in front of him. Such a waste can't do such advanced things as betrayal, let alone, The other party was searched by him with Legilimency!

"Ding~ding~dong~ding~"

A crisp bell rang suddenly from the huge clock above Voldemort's head, and a small wooden door on it swung open, and a metal bird flew out of it, chirping while circling in mid-air.

Suddenly, a green light flashed, the birds' calls stopped abruptly, and a burnt 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 Malfoy family was standing quietly, and seeing 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 like a ghost with his wand in his hand and came to the square.

With his arrival, the square, which was still echoing with whispers, suddenly became silent.I don't know who started it first, all the Death Eaters knelt down on one knee towards Voldemort!
And looking at the large group of people kneeling in blackness in front of him, the irritability in Voldemort's heart 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 towards the disappearing cabinet from the crowd as originally planned. They will enter Hogwarts as the vanguard and lead the way for the next large troop.

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 can survive tonight, they can spend the rest of their lives lying on the golden Galleon!
Of course, the premise of all this is that Voldemort keeps his word.

With excitement, these five people squeezed into the narrow disappearing cabinet, and Voldemort was also very kind, and he even stepped forward to close the cabinet door for the five people with his own hands.

"Wish you guys good luck."

Accompanied by Voldemort's cold and hoarse blessing words, the five fell into darkness.

But before they were excited about being blessed by Voldemort, a sense of dizziness swept over them, and they kept spinning as if they were put into a front-loading washing machine that was turned on.

After an unknown amount of time, this indescribably terrifying rotation finally stopped, and at this time, the five people in the disappearing cabinet were already in a mess and piled together.

"This damn thing! Uh~!"

A Death Eater struggled to open the door of the disappearing cabinet, opened his mouth and cursed angrily, but he couldn't hold it anymore in the middle of the sentence, covered his mouth and squeezed out of the cabinet desperately.

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

After a preliminary scouting of the environment, the Death Eater couldn't help it anymore after confirming it was safe, and bent down to vent his nausea in his chest.

But just when he was about to come out vigorously, a thick cone-shaped bullet pierced through the back of his head, blasting his entire head into a blood mist!
"boom!"

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

Avery Secret Realm, U-shaped valley cliff No. 1 ambush point.

With the help of the night vision binoculars, Franklin saw very clearly that the Death Eater's head had been blasted into a cloud of blood.

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

Although he was prepared in his heart, the power of the Muggle sniper rifle still far exceeded his expectations. This power is almost comparable to the regular attack spells of the Aurors!

And the sniper beside him may have noticed Franklin's gaze, he raised his ink-smeared face and smiled honestly at Franklin.

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

In his opinion, the task this time was too simple, and even he felt a little looked down upon.

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

And at this distance, their commander also equipped them with anti-material sniper rifles!
This thing is usually used to fight tanks!It is so powerful that the large caliber of the bullet has almost nothing to do with the gun. The sniper gun is its real name.

Hitting someone with this thing is a very cruel thing. If the United Nations finds out about this, it will be court-martialed!

Thinking of this, the boy whose face was covered in ink suddenly looked around, and there were several sniper cannons and machine guns around him, and around each weapon stood several men in long robes, armed with A strange figure of a short stick.

Looking at those wizards, the ink man suddenly smiled.

This is the world of magic, what kind of shit is the United Nations, if you have the guts, come here and catch me!

Just as the ink man was breathing wildly, there were several gunshots on both sides of the cliff, and Franklin hurriedly raised his binoculars and looked down again.

Unsurprisingly, the remaining four Death Eaters were also killed under the attack of the sniper cannon, but unlike the Death Eater whose head was simply blown off, the Death Eaters behind were all They were hit to the torso, and under the terrifying destructive power of the sniper guns, their bodies had completely disappeared. Only a large piece of blood and broken flesh on the ground could prove that they had existed.

"Good job!"

Franklin lowered his voice and roared, and the wizards beside him almost reacted in the same way.

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 area in the future!
However, the battle had just begun, and not long after the death of the five Death Eaters before, there was another sound from the disappearing cabinet below the canyon.

Another five 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.

Accompanied by its movements, one Death Eater after another was teleported over continuously, and in a short while, dozens of Death Eaters appeared on the place where the original five Death Eaters died!

"attack!"

Franklin didn't care about anything else, roared and waved the wand in his hand, a miserable green light shot out from his hand, and shot straight at the Death Eaters below.

The reaction of the others was not slow either. The wizard troops launched attacks one after another, and all of a sudden colorful spells appeared, dragging the tail flames and flying out one after another.

The Muggle firepower did not show weakness either, and the machine gunners who had been waiting for a long time on the side tapped the trigger one after another. With a deafening loud sound, a series of orange-red barrages that almost stretched across the city under the night sky were aimed at the Death Eaters below. They throw away the past!

"There is an ambush!"

A long-haired Death Eater roared miserably. Under the terrifying firepower, most of their team was wiped out almost instantly, which made him feel a wave of fear.

His master, Voldemort, was deceived!
Shaking his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, he gritted his teeth and forcibly released the reinforced armor body!
A layer of translucent shield floated above the Death Eaters, but in the next instant, endless spells and bullets came suddenly, blasting the shield and the Death Eaters below it into a puddle. Meat!
"Don't scatter! Gather together and protect them all!"

The Death Eaters sent by Voldemort were not vegetarians either, and someone who suddenly yelled, the Death Eaters who were fighting on their own reacted one after another, gathered around the disappearing cabinet, and acted in unison. Raised the wand!

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

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

Whether it's a bullet or a rocket, hitting the light curtain has no other effect except for a burst of fire, and the spell will be directly fired the moment it touches the light curtain. Fly—this layer of light curtain actually has the ability to refract spells!

Seeing this, the Muggle soldiers finally showed surprise on their faces, 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 shot more fiercely.

They are very clear that although the magic shield released by this and everyone's power is powerful, the magic power consumed is also very exaggerated. These Death Eaters simply can't last long in the face of their current bombardment. .

The fact is exactly the same. Although the Death Eaters below got a short respite with the help of the light curtain, it was only lingering. Under the double attack of spells and Muggle firearms, the entire semicircular light curtain quickly It became precarious. If it wasn't for the continuous transmission of Death Eaters from the disappearing cabinet to join the camp that maintained 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 is cruel. Doesn't work except for some smoke.

Gradually, an atmosphere of despair began to spread among the ranks of 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 supplement of these people, the light curtain on the zenith also became crumbling.

The commander of the Death Eaters was about to grit his teeth, and he cursed to cheer those people up again, but no one would listen to him now!Suddenly, with the help of the spell and the flames in the sky, he clearly saw that they were in a U-shaped canyon, and in front of them was a smooth road!
"Everyone! Don't give up, the exit is ahead! Break out!"

The commander of the Death Eaters decisively issued an order. Under his reminder, more and more Death Eaters found the exit ahead, and a flame called hope burned in their hearts!
"Come on!"

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

Urgently, the Death Eaters began to move.

Under the threat of death, these Death Eaters who originally disliked each other showed a very high tacit understanding. Their eyes were firm, and they started to walk out of the canyon step by step with the firepower above their heads!
But Franklin and the others above the canyon of their actions could all see clearly. Seeing the Death Eaters moving slowly below, the corners of Franklin and the others' mouths all rose.
