The Admiral of Hogwarts

According to the interrogation, these hags were part of the escaped remnants from the first Wizarding War. However, after surviving, they didn't reform but rebuilt their village in this place.

According to the captured prisoner, more than half a year ago, some Dark Wizards found them and ordered a large batch of potions, and the rewards they paid included money, as well as people who were occasionally kidnapped.

Most of the victims were ordinary people who couldn't use magic, but occasionally there were also some Squibs or wizards who had clearly been subjected to powerful magical interrogation and couldn't even remember who they were.

"It seems that the noseless guy has indeed done a lot of things during this time." After listening to the interrogation, Hugo nodded with a serious face. "Especially the kidnapping of people without others noticing is definitely not normal."

In addition, the most important information they obtained was that this place was not a gathering place for hags. Although aerial reconnaissance made it look like a settlement, it was actually just a cover.

Or rather, they deliberately built this place into this appearance. This way, when the Aurors and others were attracted by the false target, these hags could take the opportunity to escape.

"Sorry, the observation equipment has not been fully built yet." After receiving the interrogation results, Renown said through the Admiral Network. "So, with just optical facilities, it's easy to make misjudgments."

"It's nothing, it's not your fault." Hugo said, looking at Veneto, who summoned a ball of water on the side and calmly washed her hands, "After all, the construction of the space station has not yet been completed, and various facilities are not perfect. It's normal to have various flaws."

It must be said that the ship girls are more skilled than humans in some aspects, such as the current interrogation of this hag.

When normal people torture prisoners, they are either excited, nervous, or perverted, but none of them can compare to Veneto's calm expression before, as precise as a machine when applying torture, which is so terrifying.

This situation is not because the ship girls themselves are perverted, but because for the ship girls, only their companions and Admiral are their own people, and the rest are no different from chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep.

"It seems we are going to face a fierce battle next." After completing the interrogation, the expression on Veneto's face was not very good, because the number of enemies far exceeded her previous imagination.

Because this place is the largest illegal hag gathering point in Western Europe, there are probably more than thirty hags in total, so it naturally has strong defenses.

Veneto wasn't worried about facing so many enemies, but she was a little worried that she wouldn't be able to 100% guarantee the safety of her Admiral when facing so many enemies.

"Why don't we come back after a while?" Veneto whispered to Hugo, "There are too many enemies here, it's difficult for me to guarantee your safety after the war breaks out."

"Don't underestimate me! Although I haven't reached Dumbledore's level yet, after integrating the runic knowledge from Odin last time, I can at least be on par with Snape or Professor McGonagall in terms of combat power."

Hugo was quite happy about Veneto's concern, but through long-term practice, he understood that his current strength was not weak, and he was not lacking in actual combat ability, so he was fully qualified to participate in actual combat.

Indeed, he is not a match for the ship girls in daily battles, but considering that the ship girls are serious about this aspect, the fact that he can fight back and forth with the ship girls overall is already very telling.

"More importantly, as the saying goes, it's better to be stolen from than to be targeted by a thief. We have already formed a grudge with this group of wild hags this time, so if we don't settle it once and for all, future problems will be even more troublesome."

Looking at the hag lying on the ground, covered in wounds and already dead, Hugo knew that this was no longer a simple problem that could be solved, so taking the initiative to attack became the only option at this time.

Under normal circumstances, reporting to the local Ministry of Magic is also an option, but considering the fact that this group of people has been active in the entire region for more than 20 years, Hugo and the ship girls felt that it would be better to use the weapons in their hands to get justice.

Just like a certain great man in the East once said, the weapon of criticism can never replace the criticism of weapons. Especially since the group of guys we encountered now probably only understand the language of violence.

"Reinforcements will arrive soon." At this time, Renown, who was in charge of commanding at the space station, said to Hugo and the others in the Admiral Network, "Next, we will clean up the entire demon cave."

"Please hurry up." Hugo said vigilantly, staring at his surroundings, "The other party also knows that their behavior will not be understood by the wizards, so if the captured hag doesn't return within 20 minutes, the other party may transfer their destination."

The main reason why this hag camp has not been discovered is that they have obtained the protection of some pure-blood wizards, and the entire settlement is designed to be very hidden.

You must know that the wizards in the magical world still have very obvious racial tendencies. They may accept individual hags attacking ordinary people, but they will never allow these hags to attack the wizards themselves.

And these hags were also very cautious before. They hid their settlements from the wizards and completely concealed their behavior of kidnapping wizards, so they were able to survive until today.

"Don't worry, these guys will definitely not escape." After listening to Hugo's slightly anxious words, Renown assured, "The mobile unit of Sky One Space Station has set off and will arrive at your location in five minutes."

In fact, the actual waiting time was not even five minutes. After about four and a half minutes, Veneto suddenly raised her head and looked at the sky.

And Hugo, who was connected to her through the Admiral Network, also noticed that something invisible seemed to be falling from the sky.

Soon, an aircraft covered with a layer of invisible runic symbols emerged from the air. Then, the hatch of the aircraft opened, and the Iowa sisters jumped out.

"Very good technology." Looking at the aircraft, which unloaded personnel and then re-emerged into the thin air and climbed towards the sky, Hugo nodded.

Obviously, combining current human technology, magic, and ship girl technology, the ship girls now possess the most advanced technology in the world.

For example, the aircraft that can directly break through the atmosphere from Earth's orbit to transport personnel to the ground and then return to the space station on its own is the crystallization of these technologies.

Soon, Hugo and the others put on dark blue robes embroidered with anchor emblems and put on golden masks, and then moved towards the place that had been interrogated from the hag's mouth.

Unlike what they imagined, the place where these hags were hiding was not far from this fake settlement. The other party obviously didn't want the two places to be too far apart, in case something unexpected happened on the way.

When Hugo and the others quickly bypassed a nearby hill, they saw the faint firelight from the depths of the cave in the distance.
