Chapter 272
In short, his strategy always misses the point.
However, now that the Ministry of Magic is headed by Burns, Scrimgeour, who is only in charge of tactics, is doing quite well.
Whether it was just decisively destroying the ceiling, it almost killed the Death Eater invasion in the bud.
It is still the decisive on-the-spot response now, all of which show his ability as an Auror leader.
Scrimgeour had been an Auror for over thirty years, and had been the Auror's Chief of Staff for over ten years, and over the years he had built up unparalleled prestige among the Aurors.
Of all the high-ranking officials at the Ministry of Magic, perhaps only today's Burns can match the prestige he has built among the Aurors through his recent "reckless" orders.
So under his order, the next moment, except for a dozen people, the rest of the Aurors launched an attack on the Death Eaters.
This time, the Aurors were not using soft attack spells such as the Whole Body Binding, Stunning, and Disarming Charms.
They resolutely retaliated against the Death Eaters, with offensive poisons, curses, and even black magic, and they shot the Death Eaters from their curses.
For a time, the Death Eaters who were caught off guard could only barely parry, and several people fell down at that time.
However, the situation was still developing against the Aurors.
Although Scrimgeour had mobilized almost all of the wizards in Azkaban, they were gradually getting overwhelmed by the steady stream of Death Eaters and betrayed Dementors.
In fact, in terms of overall strength, the Ministry of Magic has the upper hand over Voldemort.
However, the Ministry of Magic has too much to defend against.
Even having foreseen Voldemort's plan to attack Azkaban, Burns couldn't have sent all the Aurors there.
Otherwise, it would be self-defeating if Voldemort saw that Ding had an empty defense somewhere, gave up his plan to attack Azkaban, and launched a surprise attack elsewhere.
And now, Scrimgeour had discovered, that perhaps Voldemort was really desperate.
Because, only now did he realize that the number of Death Eaters sent through the door key had greatly exceeded him and his men, and, among these people, he even saw Fenrir Greyback , the leader of the werewolves among the Death Eaters.
As soon as this powerful werewolf leader appeared, he took his subordinates to beat the Aurors by surprise. Two or three Aurors were attacked, and some were even bitten.
You know, after a person is attacked by a werewolf, he will be infected with the werewolf's poison and become a new werewolf.
Moreover, as a ferocious magical creature, the werewolf is not only agile, but also has a certain degree of magic resistance in its fur, and a slightly weak wizard can't even hurt them.
Even well-trained Aurors were entangled by werewolves for a while.
For them, it was simply worse.
Scrimgeour himself had to do it himself, which temporarily repelled Fenrir.
However, with the appearance of werewolves and the constant arrival of Death Eater reinforcements, he had to command the Aurors to retreat.
Originally, they were surrounded by the Death Eaters, but now they had to shrink the front line, and the two sides fought a positional battle.
Like the infantry in World War II, they formed a defensive line against each other, and then shot at each other from the air.
The difference is that Muggle soldiers shoot bullets and cannonballs, while wizards use colorful spells.
Muggles used trenches and sandbags for defense, and they used Iron Armor and Barrier Charms.
Today, the commanders of the Death Eaters are the brothers and sisters Alecto Carrow and Amycus Carrow. They are one of the few who have high ability and status after the pure-blood families such as Lucius Malfoy were wiped out in one sweep. of Death Eaters.
So Voldemort had no choice but to stand tall among the dwarves and let them lead and command the rest of the Death Eaters.
Of course, Barty Crouch Jr. and Peter Pettigrew are higher in status and not jailed, but they also have their own missions.
Now, under the orders of the Carlo brothers and sisters, the Death Eaters, whose average quality is lower than the Aurors, launched a brutal attack by virtue of their superiority in numbers, vowing to wipe out the Aurors guarding Azkaban and rescue their comrades. .
"Get on me!" Amycus shouted, standing behind his colleagues, "Don't think about stepping back! Unless you want to see the Dark Lord's wrath! Kill those pesky Aurors!"
With that said, he casually cast the Cruciatus on a Death Eater who was trying to back away.
A black robe immediately fell to the ground, shrank into a ball, and made a painful sound.
The surrounding Death Eaters dodged away in fear, and then attacked the Aurors even harder.
"This is the fate of deserters!" Amycus said proudly, "Those who want to steal and play tricks can try it, I will make you regret that you were born!"
The Death Eaters attacked hard, the werewolves continued to attack the Aurors, and hundreds of dementors in the air circled around under the resistance of the patron saints, eyeing them.
The Aurors backed away, almost to the top of the stairs.
However, when they got here, they never backed away.
Because starting from the next floor is the prison cell.
Once breached, the Death Eaters would be able to rescue some of their comrades. Originally, their steady stream of reinforcements had left the Aurors Alexander, and the addition of these new forces would definitely make it worse for them.
However, although the casualties were not small, Skrein
Jay didn't panic at all.
As the top of the Ministry of Magic, the leader of the Aurors, he knew exactly what was going on and who was behind them.
That was a man who could stand up to Voldemort.
Even if the Dark Lord himself came, he was unafraid.
Now that there are enough Death Eaters, these Aurors stationed in Azkaban have largely completed their bait mission.
Therefore, the ambush on their side should also be able to be dispatched.
Chapter 0360 Ambush all out
Determined not to hide his strength, Scrimgeour began calling for reinforcements, of course for a reason.
According to his judgment, after the main force was wiped out, Voldemort's subordinates were not much alive.
And now these Death Eaters, werewolves and Dementors who are involved in the attack on Azkaban are already more than half of Voldemort's forces.
If all these people are lost in Azkaban, then Voldemort will really face nothing.
After all, no matter how powerful he is, he still needs his subordinates to complete his rule over the magic world.
However, considering the Death Eaters who have been captured in Azkaban, and the Death Eaters who are now attacking Azkaban, these are already the majority of those who Voldemort can recruit.
In other words, if Voldemort is a lord, the recruiting potential of the whole of England is almost exhausted for him.
Therefore, if these people are also wiped out, then no matter how he pulls people around, he will not be able to find any reliable men.
After all, most wizards still yearn for a peaceful life.
Even if there are still some wizards in the UK who agree with Voldemort's ideas, or want to take shelter under his banner, even if you want to be a villain and villain, you need talent.
