Volume 7: A World with Bad Consequences Chapter 476 Lucius Leads the Charge
The scene was too chaotic.
Few of the purebloods who choose to hide here are in the battle sequence, and when they encounter danger, the only thing they can think of is to escape.
Apparition was banned, and flying was impossible. The only way out now was this fireplace, but it was impossible for it to allow everyone to leave at once. The number of Floo powder was limited, and the Carrow family had never considered that they would eventually be reduced to relying on the fireplace to escape.
So the scramble began.
Before Moody and his men could completely break through the Auror's defenses and enter the manor, these purebloods had already started to cause .
No matter they were wizards or witches or children who were not yet old enough to attend magic school, they all scrambled to squeeze towards the fireplace. They had completely lost the reserve and etiquette of the so-called pure-bloods and only wanted to escape from here as soon as possible .
After two or three purebloods were quick enough to grab Floo powder and completely ignored the amount of powder they could use, they grabbed most of it and sprinkled it into the fireplace and left. The atmosphere among the remaining purebloods became more tense.
With this amount of Floo powder, everyone knows that at least two-thirds of the pure-bloods on the scene cannot be snatched away and will inevitably be left behind. Whoever can get the Floo powder first will be able to escape successfully!
After understanding the situation, some of the pure-bloods who were already extremely vicious immediately raised their wands!
They can treat half-bloods and hemp-bloods with impunity, and when necessary, when facing pure-bloods of the same class, they can of course raise their butcher knives without any psychological pressure!
This was also the reason why Wu Pingxian planned to leave the Floo Network as the only channel at the beginning. As long as there was a hope of escape, these people would carry with them a glimmer of hope, why couldn't the person who escaped be themselves? They would no longer think about resisting, and might even kill each other for this glimmer of hope!
The situation was now developing just as Moody had envisioned from the beginning, and just when a big fight was about to break out to decide who would have the final chance to escape, a rapid and loud spell suddenly rang out amid the chaos!
"Thunder explosion!"
"boom!"
Amid the screams of countless pure-bloods around, the fireplace, which was their only hope of escape, was blown to pieces by an explosive spell!
The few purebloods closest to the scene were hit by the broken bricks. Some were unlucky enough to be hit on the head, causing bleeding on the spot.
Most of the purebloods were looking at the culprit with a red face and heavy breathing in shock!
"Lucius! What are you doing!?"
Alecto Carrow, the owner of the manor and the younger sister of the Carrow brothers and sisters, screamed.
At the same time, in the next second, countless wands were aimed at Lucius, and his wife, Draco's mother Narcissa, nervously grabbed her husband's arm.
Lucius's brain is almost blank now!
But facing the wands of his pure-blood colleagues around him, he calmed down incredibly quickly!
He knew very well that he was making the most correct decision, and it was also the only decision that could maximize the chances of survival for those present!
"This is a trap!"
He roared, and even without the sound-amplifying spell, the sound was enough to suppress all the noise in the place, making the scene quiet in an instant.
"This must be a trap set by Dumbledore and his gang! I don't know how the news that we are all here leaked out! But they must have wanted to trap us here, leaving only a fireplace as a way out! If we kill each other for this only way to escape, then we will all be doomed! There must be no more than five people who can escape!"
"So you blew it up! And let us all die here!"
Amycus Carrow also screamed almost in an emotional breakdown, but Lucius did not back down at all. He glared at the Carrow brothers and sisters!
"The people from the Wizarding Front haven't attacked yet! Those Aurors are still defending the surroundings! We still have so many people here, who says that everyone will die! Each of us is holding a wand ! Not a useless stick!"
As Lucius roared, more and more people came to their senses, and they soon realized that what he said was right.
If they really placed all their hopes on the fireplace, most of the people present would be killed or injured before the wizards from the wizard horizon attacked.
And if they dared to turn around and resist at this time, whether they really wanted to repel the enemy or escape in the chaos, they would still have a chance to survive!
If the fireplace had not been blown up, of course no one would listen to Lucius's rational speech, but now their only safe escape route was gone, so they had no choice.
Lucius watched as the scene finally calmed down from the madness and chaos, and his heart, which had been beating rapidly, also breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why he took such a risky move was not to protect the pure-bloods present, but because he and Narcissa could not get close to the fireplace at all, and if they continued to let the situation develop in this way, the couple would surely die!
Lucius didn't want to die, and he didn't want Narcissa to die with him.
So he had to think of a way to survive, and now the only way to have a chance of survival was this one!
He didn't know how many people had come to the Wizarding Front this time, nor did he know how long those Aurors could hold out, but at least it was not an absolute dead end like the Fireplace Dilemma!
Afterwards, as the initiator of the rebellion, and with his many years of command experience as the director of the Auror Office, Lucius naturally obtained temporary command of everyone present.
He immediately divided all the pure-bloods present into one group that could be used as combat force and another group for the elderly, children, women and children.
The latter batch was left in the manor.
Of course, Lucius knew that if these people were allowed to stay, unless the Death Eaters and Aurors could turn the tide, they would all be trapped here to death.
So Lucius left behind a few young pure-bloods whom he could trust, and handed over all the old, young, women and children to them, including his wife Narcissa, and asked them to keep an eye on the situation on the battlefield outside at all times, and to take everyone and escape from here as soon as there was a chance.
Lucius exchanged a final deep look with Narcissa, then led the others out of the manor without hesitation!
He was not doing this for the honor of pure blood, nor for loyalty to his master; he just wanted to protect his family as much as possible.
