Chapter 805 Fudge: What? The Dark Lord Has Invaded?
The sudden appearance of the black giant python greatly exceeded the expectations of the Aurors, but after a brief surprise, dozens of wizards quickly united, and a large number of spells flew out, hitting the giant python. On the python's hard scales.
The black python suddenly let out bursts of roars, its skin was pockmarked by the magic, and half of its head was blown to pieces under the influence of the blasting spell.
However, what they didn't expect was that after suffering an almost fatal injury, the black python did not disappear. Streams of black smoke soon emerged from the everted flesh and blood, quickly filling the damaged parts of the body. ruined body.
This is a summoned creature composed purely of magic power. Before the magic power is completely consumed, the black giant python is almost immortal.
Just as the black python was causing chaos in the crowd, Ivan was not idle either.
After knocking down several Aurors who tried to join forces to fight him, Ivan waved his wand vigorously, and a group of pure gold statues erected in the center of the hall exploded. Countless metal blocks the size of human heads seemed to have been struck by It was like a guide, burning with fire, bombarding the magic hall like cannonballs.
Several supporting pillars used as bunkers collapsed under such firepower, and the huge high-altitude bulletin board soon staggered to the ground. The protective ring that countless Aurors and strikers regarded as a life-saving weapon, this time They failed to protect their safety and were easily blown apart by burning rubble...
After a round of strikes, nearly half of the resistance in the magic hall fell to the ground unconscious, or were simply buried under the rubble.
The remaining Aurors were all injured. The defense line that could barely block the large number of Death Eaters when they cooperated was broken in an instant!
In an atmosphere of near despair, more and more people are choosing to put down their magic wands and kneel down to beg for mercy.
In contrast, the Death Eaters' morale was greatly boosted. The Aurors were defeated one after another by black magic. Under the leadership of Ivan, they had already invaded the core area of the Ministry of Magic in just three minutes. .
…
At the same time, in the conference hall on the second underground floor, Fudge, who had temporarily interrupted the meeting, grabbed the Auror who came to report and yelled angrily.
"What did you just say? A mysterious man came in with Death Eaters? Nonsense! This is absolutely impossible! You are lying!"
"All Death Eaters are imprisoned in Azkaban, guarded by two hundred dementors. The mysterious man has been dead for more than ten years. He will not come back, never!!!" Fudge's eyes were red and he yelled through gritted teeth.
"But this is the fact, Mr. Minister! Obviously, the dementors in Azkaban betrayed us and released all the Death Eaters!" Kingsley Shacklebolt broke away from Fudge's hand very stiffly. Bound, and then spoke coldly again.
"In addition, I have to remind you, Minister Fudge, according to the report, the mysterious man has now broken through the defense line of the atrium and is heading here..."
"In other words, they will be here soon!"
Kingsley Shacklebolt's words were full of sarcasm, and Fudge was irritated when he saw that he was still trying to deny the facts.
He had long warned Fudge that Dementors were unreliable, but the other party was stubborn and ignored the Dementors' anomalies repeatedly, which ultimately led to Voldemort bringing the Prisoners of Azkaban to the door. Know nothing about this.
Hearing that the mysterious man was about to arrive, Fudge froze, and all the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic were panicked, shouting in anger or fear.
"Are you kidding?! There are more than a hundred Aurors in the Ministry of Magic. Where have they gone? Why can't they stop those Death Eaters?"
"What about those protective magic circles? Why aren't they activated now?"
"By the way, Dumbledore... Where is Dumbledore? Maybe it's still too late. Find someone to inform him!" the director of the International Magical Cooperation Department shouted loudly.
The entire conference hall suddenly became a mess, and everyone was discussing the response plan. In the end, they unanimously decided to retreat for the time being and preserve as much strength as possible.
As long as they are still alive, there is still hope for the magic world!
"But we have no way out, gentlemen. All the fireplaces have been sealed, and the anti-Apparition circle has enveloped the entire Ministry of Magic. I'm afraid we won't be able to get out, and we won't be able to wait for any support!" Kingsley Shacklebolt ruthlessly shattered Fudge and others' illusions of running away.
Now everyone is trapped in the Ministry of Magic. According to Kingsley Shacklebolt, the only way to survive is to fight to the death and storm the Department of Mysteries on the ninth floor underground to clear out the traitors there. Then activate the protective circle and gather all the wizards who are still resisting. Only in this way can we hope to drive the mysterious man out of the Ministry of Magic...
"Damn it, Exmo must have betrayed us. No wonder she didn't come to the meeting today!" Rufus Scrimgeour said angrily.
"And Pierce, I didn't see him today either!" Fudge added angrily.
"Okay, now is not the time to discuss this, we must take action as soon as possible!" Arthur Weasley hurriedly interrupted the conversation of several people, looking a little worried.
Voldemort's attack on the Ministry of Magic was so sudden that he had a very bad feeling.
You must know that the Order of the Phoenix has undercover agents beside the mysterious man, but Snape did not give them any notice of such a big operation, which is obviously extremely unreasonable.
Could it be that Snape's identity as an undercover agent has been discovered?
Or maybe Snape betrayed them and that's why he didn't report Voldemort's big operation to them.
The more Arthur Weasley thought about it, the more frightened he became.
They have been unable to contact Dumbledore at all in the past few months. If Snape is a traitor, then Sirius's guess may be true. Dumbledore has been assassinated by Snape. In that case, they But even the hope of a final counterattack was gone.
After venting his anger, Fudge finally regained some sense and said calmly. "No, you don't have to go to the Department of Mysteries. You can go directly to my minister's office. The fireplace there is individually connected to the outside world and cannot be blocked. We can go to London through there... and then gather our strength for a counterattack!"
Although taking back the Department of Mysteries can lift the anti-Apparition circle surrounding the Ministry of Magic, that place is on the ninth floor underground and is too far away.
If they went directly like this, they would most likely run into a Death Eater or even a mysterious person, so it was safer to go to the minister's office, which was only one floor away.
The senior officials of the Ministry of Magic breathed a sigh of relief. Now that there is a way out, they feel relieved.
Kingsley Shacklebolt was almost furious to death. He didn't expect that at such a critical moment, Fudge, the Minister of Magic, would immediately think of how to run away.
If they just ran away, what would the Aurors who were still desperately resisting do?
There are more than 300 wizards in the Ministry of Magic. Is it possible to give up all of them?
