Chapter 575 Melee
As the night wore on, the melee in the manor continued. On the heads of the wizards were rubbles and gravel flying everywhere, at their feet were soft bodies that collapsed on the ground, and there were some slippery bloodstains when they stepped on them.
There were collapsed buildings and raging fires everywhere in the manor. Screams and cries of pain were endless. The entire Malfoy Manor was like a hell on earth.
In late autumn and October, there is no chill in the night that should be cold. Killing intent permeated the crowd. Whether it was the Ministry of Magic's action team or Voldemort's henchmen, everyone had forgotten what cold meant and only knew how to mechanically wave their wands to knock down the enemies in front of them.
Blood and fire are the eternal themes of war, and wizards are no exception. Someone will fall every second in Malfoy Manor.
Some people are lucky enough to be rescued by their companions who arrive in time; some people are unlucky and fall helpless this night, unable to see the warm sunshine in the morning.
With the arrival of follow-up reinforcements from the Ministry of Magic, Voldemort's followers fell into a bitter battle.
Although the action team seems to have the upper hand, Mr. Weasley, who leads the team, is trapped in a tight siege and is in danger of losing at any time.
The Death Eaters learned the beheading tactic from nowhere. They believed that as long as they defeated the leader, they would be able to solve the predicament at hand. So when the situation was unfavorable, more Death Eaters began to move closer to Mr. Weasley. Siege the Director of the Law Enforcement Division.
Mr. Weasley had been somewhat powerless when faced with the alliance between Greyback and Antonin Dolohov, and now the situation was even more dangerous. If it weren't for the support of the action team around him, Mr. Weasley would have been knocked down long ago.
Suddenly, the entire manor's battle revolved around Mr. Weasley, making it look like Captain Li's attack on Ping'an County. It's just that Captain Li is trying to save his wife, while the action team members are trying to save their leader.
The Death Eaters want to capture Mr. Weasley, force the people of the Ministry of Magic to submit, and drive them all out of the manor; the Action Team wants to save their director and annihilate the Death Eaters here.
Arthur Weasley could be in danger at any time, and Ada certainly couldn't sit idly by.
Ada, who originally wanted to enter the village quietly without firing a gun, had to divert her planned route and rescue Mr. Weasley who was trapped in the siege first.
The raging fire not only raised the temperature of the manor, but also made the night in the manor as bright as day. Both the action team and the Death Eaters saw the sudden appearance of Ada.
The firelight illuminated Ada's fair cheeks, allowing everyone to see her face clearly.
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, many people were startled by Ada. If the battle at the abandoned manor made Ada famous, then the three-party fight in the Department of Mysteries battle solidified Ada's reputation as the Demon King. Needless to say, there is a promising future. Ada is not only present now, she is also the youngest among the three giants in the British magical world.
Whether it's Voldemort's henchmen or the action team that raided the manor, everyone who sees Ada has the same worry: She won't attack me, right? What should I do if she curses me?
Although they have the same worries, the Death Eaters and the action team have different perceptions of Ada.
In the eyes of the Death Eaters, Esmeralda Drizzt is an enemy rather than a friend, an enemy of the Dark Lord. Without even thinking about it, I knew that Ada was definitely not here to enjoy the view of Malfoy Manor.
First, he fought with the newly resurrected Dark Lord in Little Hangleton, and then sabotaged the plan to seize the Prophecy Ball in the Department of Mysteries. He even despicably teamed up with Dumbledore to injure the Dark Lord, and not long ago he even killed him. Barty Crouch Jr.
So the moment he saw Ada, someone among the Death Eaters touched the Dark Mark on his arm and called out to his great master.
The Death Eaters have a clear understanding of Ada, but the Ministry of Magic's operations team is a little confused, not sure whether Ada is an enemy or a friend.
Speaking of friendly forces, Ada first killed three Ministry of Magic staff outside St. Mungo's, then killed Umbridge in full view of the public, assassinated five Aurors including Delis, and fought in the abandoned manor. Many people were killed and injured.
Over the past year, Ada has caused as much damage to the Ministry of Magic as the mysterious man, if not more. It's just that Ada will not destroy other wizarding families, nor will she take pleasure in torturing and killing Muggles.
As for the enemy, Ada was at the forefront of resisting the mysterious man, and even injured the mysterious man. After Cornelius Fudge stepped down, Ada did not harm any Ministry of Magic staff again. There are even rumors in the Ministry that Ada is secretly controlling the Ministry of Magic.
Recently, the Wizengamot and the International Federation of Wizards have restarted their evaluation of Ada. Is she the new Dark Lord, or is she unable to resist due to persecution? This matter has not yet been determined.
It was the accumulation of these piles and pieces that made the action team members unable to make accurate judgments about Ada and not knowing what to do.
Ada had no idea what passers-by A, B, B and D were thinking. She did not have the habit of Legilimency anytime and anywhere. She just moved towards Mr. Weasley in the center of the battle group.
As Ada walked along, Voldemort's followers fell down one after another along the way, and there was no enemy under the yew wand, just like chopping melons and vegetables.
However, the closer she got to the center of the battle group, the more severe the resistance Ada encountered, and the carelessness with which she waved her wand aroused the flames of anger in the hearts of the Death Eaters.
A man wearing a Death Eater's black robes shot spells randomly while rushing straight towards Ada. Judging from the posture, it seemed that the Death Eater wanted to crush Ada with his huge body.
For people like this who are looking for death, Ada has always been an adult. A killing curse hit the Death Eater in the chest. The green curse wrapped the Death Eater and flew far away, hitting the crowd in the melee, causing even greater chaos.
From the shouts of some people, Ada learned that the person she had just killed was called Gibbon. As to whether Gibbon was his first name or his last name, Ada didn't know. Although she is very curious, Ada is not curious about everything.
Gibbon was not the last person to try to stop Ada. After him, Mulciber and Selwyn came forward together.
Mulciber was a veteran Death Eater who specialized in the Imperius Curse. During Voldemort's first reign of terror, Mulciber provided a lot of help to his master.
After Voldemort fell in 1981, Mulciber was imprisoned, and his name was also included in the list of Death Eaters betrayed by Karkaroff.
In early 1996, Death Eaters staged a large-scale prison break, and Mulciber, Bellatrix and others escaped from Azkaban.
After the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, the unfortunate Mulciber entered the palace for the second time and was once again imprisoned in Azkaban. But this time he didn't stay in Azkaban for long. Voldemort quickly rescued a group of Death Eaters including him.
Selwyn, another Death Eater who blocked Ada, knew just by his surname that he came from the Selwyn family of the Twenty-Eight Holy Houses.
Umbridge once claimed to be related to the Selwyn family. Maybe it was because of Umbridge's favors, maybe because someone in the Ministry of Magic was easy to deal with, or maybe she was too angry to speak out. In short, Selwyn did not expose Umbridge. Richie's lie.
However, Selwyn has many similarities with Umbridge, the same cruelty, the same cold-bloodedness, and the same unattractiveness. The difference is that Umbridge acts sinisterly and viciously, like an old witch, while Selwyn is rough and arrogant, more like a barbarian who only knows how to punch.
Mulciber and Selwyn were not thinking about defeating Ada. This would be too whimsical for them alone. They just wanted to delay Ada so that other Death Eaters would have time to take down Arthur Way. Sly.
As long as Arthur Weasley falls into their hands, Ada will naturally be crushed and rounded by others.
The idea was good, and the courage to come forward was worthy of praise, but they still overestimated themselves after all.
Mulciber was seen hitting Ada with the Cruciatus Curse, while Selwyn shouted and attacked. The two spells, one red and one green, are both Unforgivable Curses, and their targets are both Ada, which shows the ruthlessness of the Death Eaters.
Ada raised her wand with her right hand and deflected Mulciber's Cruciatus Curse. With a move of her left hand, a corpse covered in blood immediately flew over and blocked Ada's killing curse.
There is no reason to just defend but not fight back. Her nickname is Ada, and it is not about being beaten.
The yew wand immediately fired a Cruciatus Curse. Mulciber failed to dodge and fell to the ground in pain. Due to the severe pain caused by the Unforgivable Curse, Mulciber's body continued to twitch and squirm.
Ada pointed the wand at Selwyn again, and a bright light flashed. Selwyn, who had been furious just now, let out a scream, and his head and feet were hanging in the air.
The sudden hanging upside down made Selwyn panic and yell. He waved his arms wildly as if trying to catch something. His ugly head soon turned the color of pig liver.
The surrounding operational team members swarmed in and roughly captured Selwyn alive.
The upside-down golden bell is not talking about the hanging bell begonia, but a kind of spell. This spell was once popular at Hogwarts. When there was a riot in the Quidditch World Cup camp, a group of marchers used the fuchsia to torment Muggles.
With the addition of Ada, the Death Eaters' plan to round up Mr. Weasley failed, and the situation in the manor once again became one-sided.
The master that the Death Eaters longed for never came to the rescue. Even loyal believers like Rodolphus Lestrange and Antonin Dolohov could not help but feel a little desperate in their hearts, let alone others. .
Voldemort's henchmen began to collapse. If it were not for the restrictions of anti-Apparition, they would have escaped faster.
Ada didn't bother too much. After confirming that Mr. Weasley was out of danger, she hurried to the main building to look for Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy. Despite the intense fighting in the vast courtyard, Ada was certain that she had not seen the couple.
They must be found as soon as possible, otherwise Ada will not be able to take care of them when Voldemort arrives.
