Hogwarts Card System Chapter 409

 Chapter 409 Goblin Rebellion!

  1:40 a.m., twenty minutes before Minister of Magic Fudge was assassinated.

 Fudge has been working overtime like crazy these past two days, which was something he didn't do in the past.

Thinking about it, you know, at the Ministry of Magic, when you get off work at the end of the day, why do you have to work overtime?

But the Minister of Magic wants to make more contributions before stepping down, can you still say that he is bad? right!

 Other members of the Ministry of Magic did not take this as a serious matter, but they just talked about it as amusement to their relatives and friends after dinner.

 Tell me how reluctant you are to give up your position as a minister whose first half and second half are completely different and who don't know how to comment. I have to stay in the office even in the middle of the night.

"Speaking of which, it's normal that he doesn't want to retire. In the last two years, he has oppressed those pure-blood families like crazy, engaged in various activities intensively, contacted various organizations in the magic world, and tried to centralize power! The missing Robert Isn't it him who pushed him to the position of deputy director of the Legal Department?”

“It's a pity that it's too late for him to do this. Now, if he retreats, how can the pure-blood families he has corrupted let him go?”

“We definitely can't let him go! Otherwise, how could he be so nervous and unwilling to leave even after get off work? Maybe that Robert is... you know!”

 “What about Fudge?”

“What else can we do? Go away to a foreign country! If you go to Africa or America, you will definitely be punished if you stay.”

However, Minister Fudge, who worked overtime hard, did not just sit there and cry. He was waiting for the opportunity.

As he said before, he planned to take advantage of this goblin rebellion.

 This is his only chance, a desperate chance.

He has already made some arrangements. Although he used various small actions to release the water in the early stage, it gave the goblins various conveniences so that they could smoothly accumulate strength for rebellion. But once the goblin rebellion breaks out, Fudge will be their biggest enemy!

 At that time, the emergency response teams, supplies, combatants, newspapers, etc. that have been prepared will be in full operation—Minister Fudge will become the core figure, the first person, and the absolute main force in suppressing the goblin rebellion!

 The hero of the British wizarding world!

However, he was negligent in thinking about goblins in the same way as a wizard.

 Still experienced too little and learned too little.

Although Hogwarts has a course on the history of magic, it is not that easy to use history as a mirror.

 Fudge speculated on the goblin from his own point of view. It turned out that the goblin didn't do it like him, a politician, seizing power at all. It was the most direct thing to do!

 Never mind what preparations and plots Fudge had, he was useless now. If he was physically eliminated, all those preparations and plots would be useless.

 So, the goblin assassination team set off.

 The team of five people are all elites among goblins and are proficient in various killing techniques.

　　As early as half a month ago, Fudge's whereabouts had been noticed by the goblins. So they went straight to the Ministry of Magic.

Ordinarily, the defense level of the Ministry of Magic is not low. It is not an easy task to invade the Ministry of Magic after get off work. At least it is very difficult to break in without making any noise.

But doesn't Fudge have a good assistant named Barty Jr.?

Little Batty: Taijun, go this way! I know a shortcut!

Of course, little Barty can't lead the way, it would be too rough.

 He just secretly closed down some defense methods to allow those goblins to lurk in smoothly.

Fudge was attacked in his office and was hit by three fatal black magic bullets immediately.

He only had time to take a look at who was knocking in the door, and then he saw several hideous and ugly goblins, as well as several magic spells with strange colors...

His expression was surprised at the end. On the one hand, he was surprised why the goblin would attack him? It shouldn't be! You don't play by the rules!

On the other hand, how did they appear at the Ministry of Magic silently and break the defensive magic they had placed on the office door?

 Fudge was very insecure during this period, which is why he had to work overtime. He was worried that he would have an accident at home, like Robert.

And in the Ministry of Magic, he did not take it lightly. He arranged several magic spells in the office, and coupled with the Ministry of Magic's original defense system, it should be said to be very safe.

 The reason why the goblins appeared in front of him so smoothly was of course because Little Barty opened the way in advance and lifted all the spells that Minister Fudge had forgotten to revoke. Just so helpful!

These five goblins are well-trained and very experienced. They started to evacuate the same way as soon as they succeeded.

At that time, the fluctuation of the spell had already alarmed the staff on duty at the Ministry of Magic, but the four wizards' fighting ability was very average. Not to mention capturing the five goblins, they could not even resist, and were beaten by the goblins until they could not lift their heads. , let him walk away.

Just as the goblins were fighting all the way out, their outpost was also blown up by Ted's clone. The explosion's tongue of fire was more than ten meters high! It was extremely eye-catching in the dark night!

Members of the Ministry of Magic quickly contacted people from the Ministry of Magic and followed the traces to see what the goblins had done, and found Fudge's body.

The pale and cold corpse had a large hole of more than 30 centimeters in the chest. The blood vessels under the skin were black and bulging, like the roots of some plant running under the skin. There was a pool of thick black blood under the body...

Fauge's corpse was so hideous and terrifying that it didn't even look like someone who had been dead for just a few minutes.

An autopsy later revealed that Fudge had been struck by three fatal spells, one of which caused an open wound on the chest and his heart was cut into two halves!

 The second path caused the blood all over the body to quickly rot and coagulate, so after death the blood vessels all over the body turned blue, black and bulging, which was very scary.

The third one is the killing curse. Not to mention that all living beings are equal, at least Fudge will definitely not be able to withstand it.

 The main force of goblins in Ireland has already begun to take action at this time.

 A large portal is activated, with the suburbs near London on the other side.

The cost of making and using this thing is extremely high. Normal wizards definitely cannot afford it, and they don't have the opportunity to come into contact with it.

Compared with Portkey and Floo Network, this is equivalent to the former being an airplane and a motor vehicle, while the latter is a military-grade battleship, tank or the like.

Originally, the goblins' plan was to launch a rebellion at four o'clock in the morning, when everyone was most relaxed, but news came from the outpost that the matter had been exposed, and they had already begun to take action, so they had to move here.

 Fortunately, there is no harm in being two hours early.

More than three thousand monster troops, under the command of a group of slave-owner goblins wearing ruby ​​crowns, passed through the flashing blue portal and appeared in a park in the outer suburbs of London.

The goblins had gone through a drill, so the cross-sea transfer was very fast. The transfer from the headquarters to London was basically completed in ten minutes.

 At the same time, each goblin squadron has been heading towards their respective mission locations according to their pre-arranged missions!

Most of them hold standard wands, and have one or two magic tools or magic props on their bodies. Each team also has a goblin carrying a box, which contains a shrunken magic mecha.

 However, something unexpected happened here—the outpost could not be contacted!

"Damn Copic! What the **** is he doing? Didn't he say that the Outpost will attack the Ministry of Magic and St. Mungo's? Where are they now?!"

“Sir, we have sent people to the outpost to check. What should we do now?”

 At this time, according to the magic reconnaissance of the goblins, the Ministry of Magic actually became lively in the middle of the night! The lights are bright and wizards are coming and going!

 Could it be that the outpost unit's attack failed? But there seems to be no trace of battle!

 “No time to wait for them! Send out troops and attack the Ministry of Magic directly!”

 “Yes! Monster units one and two, attack!”

The slave-owning goblins wearing ruby ​​crowns immediately commanded the monster squad and rushed towards the Ministry of Magic in the distance.

A group of goblins holding magic wands and driving heavy mechas followed behind.

And the Ministry of Magic was also confused. They were originally dealing with the matter of the Minister of Magic being attacked and killed, but the detective magic discovered that a large number of enemies were invading? !

“Ouch~~~” A bugbear covered in iron armor, holding a mace in his hand, roared and rushed towards the underground gate of the Ministry of Magic.

But at a position of twenty meters, he was trapped by several stone pillars that suddenly appeared from the ground. Then the stone pillars twisted and changed, trapping the bugbear like a roast chicken on a barbecue net. There was not only this bugbear, but also an ogre, a troll and several hobgoblins nearby. Some were **** by magic plants, and some had their feet sunk into the ground quagmire and were sealed into stones...

How is it possible that the Ministry of Magic has no defense at all?

This kind of non-lethal defensive magic has at least a hundred interlocking lines arranged outside the front gate of the Ministry of Magic. However, they have never used it!

However, there were 500 monsters attacking the Ministry of Magic, followed by 50 or 60 goblins and a dozen goblin magic mechas and lumberjacks!

 "Monster! A monster is coming!" Taking advantage of the obstruction of the defense system, the wizards finally reacted and shouted everywhere.

 “Hurry! Activate the active defense system!”

 “Call people! Call for support!”

 “Let's go first, let's get out of here first!”

Although those wizards work at the Ministry of Magic, have they ever experienced such a thing?

 Everyone was panicked, and beads of sweat lined up on their foreheads!

Fortunately, Ms. Bones, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, also came because Fudge was killed. She was able to hold her nerve at the critical moment:

"Padli goes to activate the defense system! Hellier goes to notify the strikers and Aurors to join the war! Paramela goes to the Utopia Forum to issue an emergency notice, enters the first level alert state, and calls on all wizards to protect their homes and bravely participate in the war... "

The wizards, who were like headless flies, suddenly found a backbone and subconsciously worked according to the tasks given to them.

However, the scene became calm for less than a minute, because more monsters and a three-meter-tall goblin woodcutter mecha appeared!

The first line of defense, which originally had more than a hundred defensive magics, thought it was foolproof, but it was broken through in two minutes! The goblins just hired people to get in!

The lumberjack mecha is even more unreasonable. It is more than three meters high and is made of a shell cast from a magic iron template. It has level 3 magic resistance. Its right hand is a huge circular saw, and its left hand is a sharp mechanical claw.

The right-hand circular saw rotates at extremely high speeds, making a chilling, sharp buzz. It is extremely destructive!

The mechanical claw on the left hand can grab and scratch, and can also fly out. It also carries an iron chain, which can be regarded as a medium and short-range attack method!

As it walks heavily, you can see the blue light of magic flashing in the gaps between the magic iron shell.

And its outer shell constructs an automatic defense and automatic recovery spell through magic guides and magic texts.

 When attacked, the magic shield will weaken the damage and trigger certain repair spell effects.

Two lumberjack mechas were frantically cutting the tight magic door of the Ministry of Magic with a large circular saw with a diameter of 60 centimeters.

The metal magic door that is more than three meters high and 30 centimeters thick is made of magic metal with a magic spell attached. Generally speaking, even if five or seven or eight wizards cast spells and attacks continuously, they will not be able to do anything for seven or eight minutes. .

But under the crazy cutting of several magic metal-enchanted large circular saws, sparks were shooting out, magic was flashing, and crackling sounds were heard. In less than a minute, I actually felt like I couldn't hold on!

There are four to five hundred monsters outside, a dozen of these mechas, and those hiding goblins holding magic wands!

"These **** goblins! They, they..." The Ministry of Magic official shivered for a long time, but did not dare to say the following words.

 “They are going to rebel!” Ms. Bones shouted coldly.

"Don't have any illusions! This is a war! Fall back to the second line of defense, and go back to the Ministry of Magic. The place there is not big, and their numerical advantage cannot be used! We only need to hold on for ten minutes, and there will be Support arrives!”

 “Yes! We still have support!”

 “We have Dumbledore! The greatest white wizard in the world!”

"Yes, yes, we have Dumbledore. We don't have to be afraid, don't have to be afraid!"

At this time, they immediately thought of Dumbledore, as if mentioning this name could bring them a sense of security.

 At this time, the goblin commander was already sweating profusely.

 Because the people who went to the outpost came back and said that the outpost was bombed! The flames haven't completely extinguished yet! Now there is only a large dark pit with a depth of five to six meters!

 There was an accident! Something happened!

who is it? In the end what happened?

 But what to do now? There is no turning back when the bow is drawn! Now we can only defeat the wizard in one go, otherwise the twenty years of planning by people like myself... No, otherwise the entire goblin tribe will not feel comfortable!

Because the Ministry of Magic could not be attacked for a long time, the goblin commander felt that it could not be delayed like this. While letting the frontline troops use big guns, he divided his troops to occupy other key points!

One group of fifty people went to occupy Diagon Alley, and the other group of two hundred people went to St. Mungo's to occupy the only hospital in the British wizarding world.

As for Hogwarts, put it last and concentrate on it! Send people to capture Hogsmeade first!

 At this time, things within the Ministry of Magic were not optimistic, because the floo network was actually stopped, and the fireplace became a real fireplace.

There is an office at the Ministry of Magic that manages the Floo Network, but apparently it doesn't do that anymore.

 In fact, the Floo Bang Company, which specializes in Floo fans, was infiltrated by goblins more than ten years ago. After all, it is a monopoly business, and the goblins will definitely not let it go.

  Not to mention having the opportunity to infiltrate the Floo network. Wouldn't this be useful at a critical moment?

The Ministry of Magic has magical defenses. Apparition and portkeys are prohibited. Only the floo network can allow free travel, or it can only be done through the nearby magic phone booths.

In other words, the Ministry of Magic is now an isolated city and is under siege!

There are only 46 wizards in the Ministry of Magic, and there are more than 500 enemies, including 400 to 500 powerful monsters who are not afraid of death. Although they do not know magic, they are really professional as human shields.

There are also those woodcutter mechas that only want a small internal range, and they can't cast...

And the goblins' big killing weapon is even more ferocious, it turns out to be magic explosives!

 An explosive larger than an ox's head was planted at the door that was riddled with holes. With a loud bang, the door shattered into pieces and died in the line of duty.

 The door to the Ministry of Magic has been opened.

 At this time, it was 3 o'clock in the morning, less than twenty minutes before the goblins launched an attack on the Ministry of Magic!

At this time, the wizards also became more active, and many wizard parents rushed directly to Hogsmeade and Hogwarts.

 Those closest to St. Mungo's will go to support St. Mungo's Hospital.

　　It was a good move for the goblins to cut off the floo network. After all, not everyone has a flying broom. Besides, riding a broomstick also takes time, which directly eliminates the possibility of large-scale gatherings of wizards.

Diagon Alley has been abandoned at this time. The wizard shop owners who got the news online gave up their shops and took shelter temporarily.

On the other hand, the dark wizards in Knockturn Alley are quite tough. They are reluctant to give up their little wealth. They shoot magic spells with the goblins on the street, and then are chased everywhere by monsters and lumberjack mechas.

At this time, Ted began to use Ideal Township to contact all users, and began live broadcasts of battlefields, battle reports, intelligence transmission and temporary command.

The goblins are coming fiercely, and there are hundreds and nearly a thousand goblins directly participating in the battle! The troops were divided into four or five groups to seize various key locations!

 Only less than one-tenth of the wizards are good at fighting, and if they are caught off guard, who are the fairies' opponents?

 Fortunately, magic is very good at escaping, so we haven't suffered much loss so far, except that we were chased away like rats!

This is also thanks to the exercise in Ted's "Magic World". Otherwise, many wizards who are not diligent may be killed when they first come into contact.

The wizard, who was obviously the main force in the magic world, was beaten to pieces and was hiding in Tibet. Instead, he could only fight a guerrilla war with the goblins. Where can I go to reason with you!

 Many wizards were lost at this time and didn't know what to do.

Some people posted online asking, "Where is Dumbledore? Go and ask for Dumbledore!"

Ted didn't go to invite Dumbledore, because Dumbledore couldn't get away. But he contacted the International Confederation of Wizards!

"Do you care about the goblin rebellion? If not, I will handle it in my own way!"

   Thanks to book friends "鸢鸳錌馫" and "Liuxinkuang" for their 100-point reward! Thanks!
