Chapter 411: Launching a general attack, targeting Hogwarts

A young wizard from Hogwarts hurried to the command room: "Hermione, Diagon Alley needs support. There are three goblin mechas over there. They can't deal with them and are retreating!"

Hermione frowned: "I told you now is not the time to counterattack, but they still want to try!"

 “Well, after all, their stores were robbed. Damn goblins, robbers!”

Hermione knew it was useless to complain now, so she turned the magic screen in front of her to check the distribution of combat power nearby.

“Let’s do this, I will ask the nearby elite combat team to support, and the Aurors will go over with a few rounds of magic piercing cannons. Before that, let them avoid the battle and avoid casualties!”

 “Okay, I’ll notify them right away.”

The communication classmates trotted away, while Hermione marked the whereabouts of the elite combat team on the entire virtual map of Britain.

 Magic Penetrating Cannon is a type of magic penetrating magic cannon shell specially made with burning steel core.

　　It is launched by a magic primer, and the impact ignites the alchemical gunpowder to explode. The final burning steel bullet core will penetrate most magic protection and high magic resistance under the huge thrust.

Generally speaking, even magic resistance level 5 cannot block it. Coupled with a huge amount of high-explosive alchemical gunpowder, it is very powerful.

 At present, perhaps except for the fire dragon, nothing can survive a single shot.

Neither will the demonic iron-shelled woodcutter mechas of the goblins.

As the saying goes, "The devil is as high as the Taoist." This time Ron has made a great contribution!

This thing is Ron's "invention", or the main engineer.

Although the structure and design drawings were all produced by Ron, they were new products he was designing in the game but had not yet had time to experiment with.

However, things like high-explosive alchemical gunpowder, improved magic base, fire-burning steel demon piercing core, etc. are all provided by Ted.

 After all, he controls the inventions and creations of all players.

 Ron only needs to find the technology that he can use, and then integrate it.

 An experiment, the effect is very good!

The lumberjack mecha was basically hit with a big hole in it. The mecha was scrapped and the driver was in mourning~

This thing requires only a small amount of magic power to launch, and it also comes with a sight, making it easy to operate.

It would be better if you have relevant experience (meaning you are an archer or even a magic turret player in the game), as the shooting speed is fast and the hit rate is high.

 One shot at a time!

Outside the village of Hogsmeade, twenty wood-cutting machine mechas and a six-demon combined version of a giant wood-cutting machine were all destroyed by these magic piercing cannons!

Originally, the goblins thought that with an army of 500 monsters, 50 goblins, and more than 20 woodcutter machines, Hogsmeade would not be able to resist.

 It turned out to be quite smooth at first, but then it was hit hard!

 Eighty rounds of magic piercing cannons were fired, and in the end only twelve goblins were seriously injured and surrendered, and the rest were wiped out!

This battle shocked everyone!

The wizards in Hogsmeade were shocked. Although the older wizards also used Utopia, they were just like older people using smartphones and could not adapt quickly. Let alone letting them play Wizarding World.

But in this battle, those tall fairy mechas that they were helpless against, and those monsters with high magic resistance made of magic iron shells, taught them a solid lesson!

If you can't beat it head-on, you will have no choice but to be pushed forward layer by layer by the woodcutter with the monsters and goblins behind it.

 In just over ten minutes, the wizards showed signs of defeat.

 A quarter of the four to five hundred houses in the village were demolished.

Just when wizards from other countries watching the live broadcast were desperate, Ted led the senior students and parents of Hogwarts to join the war.

The little wizards who have a wretched habit in the game hide on rooftops, behind walls, and in ruins, firing penetrating bombs from various inconspicuous places, causing continuous explosions!

 The Magic Penetrating Bullet surprised everyone when it first appeared!

 In just three minutes, almost all the woodcutter mechas were wiped out.

Most of the monster troops who were fearless and fearless were killed and wounded, and the remaining goblins couldn't stand it anymore. Their morale collapsed and they fled the village, but were captured by the strikers (magic police officers) and Aurors (magic armed police) who had been called in advance. A way out.

This goblin army attacking Hogsmeade can be considered a strong partial army. As a result, Ted and his "new wizards" were destroyed ten minutes after they entered the battlefield!

 It was in sharp contrast to the previous ten minutes.

This ending tells almost everyone: Wizard, times have changed~

 …

The battle in Hogsmeade gave the wizards a shot in the arm.

Although the officials of the Ministry of Magic escaped with their lives at the last moment when Ted attracted the attention of the goblins, their failure was certain.

 The Ministry of Magic is occupied by goblins after all!

But then the wizards' victory in Hogsmeade told everyone that goblins are just paper tigers, so don't be afraid!

This victory was necessary, because after this victory, the wizards' guerrillas and small groups of harassment increased.

Like Diagon Alley, although the goblins have occupied it and even robbed some wealthy shops - goblins are greedy for money by nature, and they are not a well-disciplined force in the first place, and they can no longer control them at this time.

There is still fighting outside St. Mungo's, and most of the school's forces, including professors, have gone to support St. Mungo's.

 Sirius, Lupin, Mrs. Longbottom, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and some members of the Order of the Phoenix were all fighting the goblins there.

 It must be said that the goblins are the only race that is qualified to rebel against the wizards, so they have something to offer.

For example, the Magic Penetrating Cannon has been out for less than an hour, and the goblins have already thought of some ways to deal with it.

For example, adding an extra layer of "strong protection from arrows" and "deflection of attacks" to the woodcutter mecha will have a huge impact on those flying props.

The core of the burning steel bullet relies on high explosion to push the core of the magic-destroying bullet to penetrate the mecha shell. It is said to be a physical attack powered by magic power.

 The goblins take advantage of this and use targeted defense.

There are also some magic devices that some goblin pilots have personally modified or installed on the woodcutter mecha, and the effects are very good. In short, I am not a fool either.

Belongs to the first wave of mental arithmetic and unintentional super effects, and then it's all about taking advantage of the situation.

 The defense methods of goblins are also being improved here.

However, before Ron could experiment with the second type of sonic shock bomb, there were already wizards on the battlefield who were proficient in combat. They came up with a new tactic in conjunction with the magic piercing bomb—disappearing and instantly getting close to the woodcutter mecha, and directly using the sticking spell to attack the piercing bomb. Stick to the mecha, ignite the primer and disapparate away instantly!

After all, the woodcutter mecha is clumsy and has a small field of vision. Many times, without even noticing what happened, the mecha is blown into two pieces!

This can be called a battle between fellow villagers, wizard and superman!

 …

No one can sleep well this night, but the sun will not be late.

  The days are already very long at the end of May, and the sun rises very early.

There is a problem. Although the battle is now limited to the magic world, the magic world is inseparable from the society of ordinary people.

Like Diagon Alley, although ordinary people cannot go there, it just hides that space in London.

You are bombarding and demolishing inside, and you are demolishing it with wood-cutting mechas. Do you think others are deaf? !

 In fact, when the goblins came to take over last night, some ordinary people called the police, saying that someone was frying fish nearby! But I can only hear the sound and can't find where it is.

The Muggles reacted very quickly. It is said that the Queen was woken up in the middle of the night and was told that a rebellion was being launched in the Ministry of Magic.

 When they knew that the goblins were going to rebel and overthrow the wizard's rule, their faces suddenly became very ugly.

Although there was a huge gap between wizards and ordinary people before.

Many ordinary people have a strong yearning for magic, especially wizards who can usually live a long life. Even the old lady Queen doesn't say it, but she doesn't know how envious she is!

 But if the goblins succeed, it will no longer be a problem between two groups of humans, it will become two races!

Humans will never allow it!

However, in a short period of time, they really can't do much.

Revolving around the Secrecy Act, the wizarding world has become very systematic in shielding and rejecting Muggles.

 Even if they wanted to intervene, they couldn't!

 This is also the original intention of the confidentiality law.

 So, they had no choice but to restrain the people and claimed that the country was conducting a temporary exercise and asked everyone not to panic. Since the middle of the night yesterday, my friends have been busy hitting the back of their heads.

Neville, Harry, and Malfoy, together with their forty or fifty senior students, act as an elite combat force, sometimes playing side-by-side at the main battlefield of St. Mungo's, banging on the side, hitting a wave of penetrating bombs and running away.

From time to time, I went to Diagon Alley to support the wizards there, and even cooperated with the dark wizards in Knockturn Alley, using large-scale cloud potions to kill dozens of monsters.

They organized adult wizards everywhere to engage in guerrilla warfare, but there were few people, no organization, and no idea what to do, to harass places occupied by goblins and destroy the goblins' logistical supply forces.

Jerry, as the demi-human liaison, worked with the dwarves, dwarfs, and elf students in the school to contact his own tribe and organized one or two teams to participate in the war.

 All races: The goblin rebellion is unpopular and will be severely condemned! We will never stand idly by!

Jerry and his girlfriend Sydney, the two of them assassinated twelve goblin spellcasters and two goblin slave owners in one night! He also used alchemical magic fire to scrap two wood-cutting mechas.

Hermione, as the dispatcher in the central command room, controls the overall situation and allocates combat power.

As the chief of logistics, Ron assembled the assembly line overnight, semi-manually and semi-automatically producing magic weapons such as penetrating bombs and sonic bombs.

Ted is on the frontal battlefield, shrouded in mirror space to avoid affecting Muggles. And keep an eye on the six directions, trying to protect the wizard from being damaged in the battle.

 The goblin leader had a splitting headache right now.

 Because it was only after dawn that he discovered the real problem.

 What about logistics? !

Originally, the quantity of standard wands was not enough. It was said that a batch was stockpiled on the manual assembly line in the factory. However, after the Ministry of Magic was attacked in the middle of the night yesterday, the wand factory could no longer be contacted!

 The magic wand is an eternal pain in the hearts of goblins, so they naturally take it very seriously. Therefore, the wand factory is also the most closely guarded.

That is not a fixed place, but a huge magical machine that drills holes underground and moves every once in a while.

Now, even our own people don’t know where it went—of course it went into Ted’s pocket!

Last night, when the goblin transport team went to get the wand, it triggered the backdoor of the goblin's mind that Ted left there, and then a group of goblins killed these goblins. The driving wand factory took the initiative to cut off contact and ran away!

Now the wand factory is missing and the mecha factory exploded. Although there is still some mecha production at the headquarters, it is far from enough to meet consumption.

 Before the battle started, they never thought that the woodcutter mecha would be consumed so quickly!

According to the wizard's methods, it was already a big deal if the cross was damaged in one night.

The results of it? In one night and one morning, nearly sixty woodcutter mechas were damaged. It has reached one-third of the total!

Moreover, it is now popular for wizards to use their mobility to fight guerrillas, although not every adult wizard can apparate, or it can be said that only elite wizards can do it.

 But they have strong fighting ability and rich experience. They often go away with one blow, and their success rate is half.

Once successful, it will be a huge loss, either the mecha will be destroyed, or a large number of monsters and even goblin casters will be killed!

 And even if you fail, you can't chase him!

If you really follow the traces of the Apparition, you might fall into a trap.

 While people can advance, attack, retreat or defend, the demon is exhausted and unable to exert its concentrated strength.

  After all, for wizards, there is no strategic location that they have to defend.

Seeing that the battle at St. Mungo's has reached a stalemate, it has been fighting for six or seven hours since last night, and neither the goblins nor the monsters are at their peak.

 Do you want to continue the attack?

 Or do you want to go all out to win St. Mungo's? !

Finally, the goblin leader contacted headquarters on the island of Ireland and asked for instructions.

 The people over there are also very anxious about the current situation. They never expected that it would be so unsatisfactory.

If it were delayed for one more day, the goblin's winning rate would be almost gone.

 Finally, the decision was made!

 “Attack Hogwarts! Capture Hogwarts! Force them to fight us! Put all the fighting power on them!”

 …

 “The goblin troops over at St. Mungo’s are shrinking!”

 “The goblins of Diagon Alley have retreated!”

 “The troops from the Ministry of Magic are on the move!”

Messages kept gathering in the command room, and Hermione was keenly aware of the goblin's strange movements.

"Ted, the goblins seem to be making big moves. They are shrinking the battlefield!"

"Okay, I understand. They are probably going to gather together and try to have a decisive battle."

 “Armageddon? Where will they choose to attack?”

"Only Hogwarts. After all, St. Mungo's is not something that cannot be given up at this critical moment. Only this millennium school can't be given up by British wizards at any cost. Whoever occupies this place will occupy the British wizarding world!"

 In the original work, Voldemort insisted on attacking Hogwarts. Is that what he thought?

As expected, the goblins gathered their forces, then withdrew from London and rushed towards Hogwarts in the Highlands of England.

After all, they are a magic army, they don’t have to march like Muggles.

They directly sent people to the vicinity and set up a teleportation gate that was constructed at a high cost, and then troops continuously passed through it.

This process is so fast that even the wizards cannot sneak attack the march or interrupt the teleportation.

 In fact, after the goblins gathered together, they have already begun to make up for the tactical loopholes.

For example, now the woodcutter no longer operates alone. Instead, it works with five or six elf spellcasters and one elf slaver, along with four or five monsters.

In this way, although the woodcutter is clumsy and has poor perception, the elf caster has strong perception and will detect the traces of apparation immediately. The goblin slave owners control monsters as cannon fodder, which can clear obstacles for the woodcutter and avoid sneak attacks in complex environments.

 It can be called the magic version of Bu-tank synergy!

 Sure enough, war is the first driving force for technological progress.

 The research I usually do is mostly out of interest and is mostly playful in nature. Or is it for money and fame?

 But now? Now it’s for my own life!

If anyone is a step too late, he doesn't know how much life he will have to pay.

This is like playing football between the Southern Football Club and the Northern Football Club. If the Southern Football League wins, they will be rewarded with a large amount of money. If the Northern Football League loses, they will be shot. Who do you think will win?

 Life is of course more important than money!

 Fortunately, the young wizards have been struggling in the "Magic World" for more than half a year.

 I have been training rigorously for more than six months, and now I feel much better when fighting. Many people can get into the groove quickly.

 Many accumulations in games suddenly exploded in reality. Progress is rapid.

The goblins are now not far north of Hogwarts. There are about a thousand goblins, including the woodcutter mecha that is over a hundred years old. There are less than two thousand monster troops.

 The battle between the monster troops last night and this morning was very intense. After all, they are not afraid of death, so they die more.

Two kilometers away, Hogwarts Castle is faintly visible on the hilltop.

 A huge blue magic light shield enveloped the entire school.

 This is one of the school's main defenses.

On the goblin's side, a weird thing over four meters long was also launched. The front was like a collapsed TV signal tower, and there was a device behind it that was smelted into one by who knows how many magic crystals. The huge magic crystal serves as energy source.

 A 15th-level elf spellcaster uses an exquisite wand to control this weird thing to charge.

About three minutes later, the tip of the device fired a purple magic shock wave, which reached two kilometers away in the blink of an eye and hit the magic shield of Hogwarts. Then the magic shield began to fade, flicker, and begin to disintegrate!

The goblin leader was overjoyed when he saw this, and shouted loudly: "Goblins, we have been enslaved for thousands of years, it is time to repay our blood debt! Kill them all and rule the world! Goblins are the best and most noble race in the world! Kill~"
