Chapter 1489? Air Raid
"Wake up!" Macduff was the first to regain his senses. The Nautilus-shaped aerostat above him had teleported, so he no longer worried about hidden problems. He yelled to wake up the team members, "Ian, you are responsible for reporting to Lord Leonard." , let’s go back to the defense now!”
There was a rustling sound in the grass as he repeatedly scolded him. Some of the guerrillas were ashamed of their poor performance. The guerrillas began to gather. Ian started to practice the base in front of his badge, while the others looked up in fear. The clouds that have gathered in the lower sky have not yet dispersed.
The big man pinched himself quietly before. He was actually scared just now. He looked back at his companions. In order to cover up his recent gaffe, he deliberately complained in a rough voice: "That Ravenclaw actually took action himself. God came." Don’t care about mortal affairs... This is so unfair. Fortunately, Aesop still has a good impression of this magic academy..."
His complaint successfully emphasized to everyone that the gods had intervened in the battle this time, and his teammates lost interest in talking. They all had no intention of agreeing with him and hurried back with their heads sullen. After trudging out of the bushes, they took out the door keys they carried, looked at their pocket watches and left the area.
"Idiots, what are you doing?! There's no need to wait for the portkey! We can all see the base from here!" Macduff scolded, "Those who are confident about Apparition raise their hands, and those who are not confident go over and let them know. The other party will take you to apparate and go back directly!"
A few minutes ago, in the defensive position that Uncle Ian was in charge of, Leonard stood in front of a simple fireplace made of large bricks, frowning tightly. He took a few steps repeatedly and rushed in. He walked into the communication room and asked loudly: "No response yet?"
"Your Excellency! I was about to report to you! I have tried to contact everyone I know who is in the chairman's defensive area, but there is still no sound." The correspondent replied tiredly, "Sir O'Brien and Will The same is true for the news from Mr. Jinson... In addition, the defense area in charge of Ms. Joansi was discovered by the enemy and had been lost. The Magic Kingdom's Crevat led her troops to conquer it in thirty minutes... Ms. Joansi did not give up. Instead, they chose to hold on to their position... Only a few people escaped and went to Mr. Wilkinson... Ms. Joansi herself seemed to be captured by the Magic Kingdom..."
"...Just keep talking the same thing." Leonard patted his subordinate on the shoulder. In fact, Leonard had given up hope after being unable to contact Chairman Picqueli for many times.
Leonard walked out of the communication room, grabbed his collar with his hand and spoke to the collar badge: "Jonah, go cut off the Floo network between us and Ms. Joansi. Although there should be some time, please hurry up..."
Then, a sudden scream and noise came from outside, interrupting Leonard. There were also hurried footsteps in the passage outside the door. This abnormal noise made everyone in the room put down their hands. Work.
"Mr. Leonard, the illusion in our defensive area has failed!" The frightened subordinates ran in and reported, gasping for breath.
Leonard frowned, and he quickly came to the window to check the situation outside, but then Ian's return made him understand the seriousness of the situation before he went out, which made this old man who could actually retire directly from The window jumped out.
In the sky of the defensive stronghold, the several layers that were originally arranged to cover up the illusory world, such as large-scale earplugs and safe guards, have now disappeared.
The base was thrown into chaos by the sudden attack. The armed forces defending the base ran around the area and began to assemble automatically. However, they had not yet received explicit instructions from Leonard, which made these people gather here and there in an unorganized manner.
The wizards responsible for arranging the illusions had already nervously checked the place where they had arranged the magic, trying to recover, while more wizards raised their heads and pointed to the sky and yelled.
Leonard looked in the direction of these people's fingers and saw a beautiful giant hand waving in the sky. This made his pupils widen a little in an instant - he knew the owner of this hand very well. When she visited France in Hogwarts' floating city before approaching the German border, it was she who helped the floating city teleport at the last moment, causing the Germans to lose face.
Since then, the goddess has not appeared much or participated in too many political affairs, which is why Leonard is a little frightened. After all, what they were facing now was not just a magical kingdom, but the goddess behind it had also personally stepped down. Even though it seemed that she only intended to use a little bit of divine power but had no intention of coming, it also made Leonard understand that Qiao Anxi The position was probably captured so quickly because of this.
Leonard came to his senses not long after actually. He quickly held the badge on his collar and issued an order: "Everyone should go to their respective positions according to the arrangements during training!"
Before he could emphasize a few more words, a piercing alarm sound suddenly sounded from the watchtower on the base, and then warnings came from various loudspeakers placed in the defense area.
"Air strike! Take cover! The Magic Kingdom is coming!"
Although neither Leonard nor the alarm said "This is an exercise" this time, the situation in front of them made all the American wizards in the base realize - at least the wizards who had run outside and witnessed the strange phenomenon with their own eyes. , the Magic Kingdom’s fleet is coming soon, and the battle is about to begin!
In addition to Aurors and beaters, some wizards who had played Quidditch when they were young, as well as those who had played the dangerous broomstick game in the United States that was similar to Quidditch but with explosive Quaffles, immediately obeyed the order and put it down. Everything in the hand found cover to hide.
In a hurry and panic, the wizards who were accustomed to clerical work or even manufacturing did not react as quickly and calmly as during training.
There are even some stingy people who, because they are reluctant to part with property that actually belongs to the public, try to take too many things with them when they leave, which slows them down.
In the sky, the Nautilus-type aerospace ships in the United Kingdom's fleet had relied on their own flexibility to teleport directly to the top of the base.
These small floating ships whizzed by, but their flying height was not actually low: in addition to falling too much, direct magic attacks from wizards would threaten them, because many buildings in the defense zone were cast with gravity spells and the like. Fortifications like bed crossbows with vicious spells.
American wizards, who had been away from war and peace for many years, were unable to develop new equipment like aerial boats in a short period of time, so they came up with weapons that actually belonged to medieval wizards to defend against the Muggle army - just on crossbows. Enchantment types have been changed for the construction of float ships. UU reading www.uukanｓhu.net
These anti-aircraft crossbows took advantage of the mountain walls to cover their positions, and also used thick stones as bunkers and roofs. The anti-aircraft crossbows in relatively safe positions are operated by strikers, while the more conspicuous and unsafe positions that are easy to be bombed targets are operated by Mr. Hands, whose magical intelligence is not real life.
However, the base that lost the protection of the illusion was basically exposed in front of the Nautilus ship at this time. A large number of alchemy bombs and dung bombs were thrown to the ground, although due to the height problem, the accuracy was much worse.
Although the bases on the ground were stabilized with defensive magic in consideration of this attack method, especially those buildings that performed well during this kind of bombing, but enough alchemy bombs bloomed on the ground, and the ground that lacked much protection began to The shaking caused dust to fly, and the kinetic energy generated caused the windows of the surrounding buildings that were still protected by the barrier to tremble.
Compared with the alchemy bombs, the military dung eggs filling the air that made people unable to stop vomiting were even more unbearable for the American wizards. Fortunately, the American wizards had already studied the Magic Kingdom’s tactics. Except for some wizards who carelessly left their gas masks behind, they quickly put on masks with filters filled with magic herbs.
