Volume 9: The reins handed over Chapter 540 Battle Situation
Jon and Grindelwald looked at each other.
The candlelight in the room flickered, casting their shadows on the wall like mayflies in water.
"A good harvest?"
Jon stretched out a finger, and without any warning, a blue flame lit up from his fingertips!
Then the flames became stronger and stronger, mixed with some sharp invisible blades. Finally, he snapped his fingers, and the flames and blades all disappeared into the air, as if all the previous ones were just bubbles in the water.
When Grindelwald saw this, a look of surprise that had rarely been seen on his face appeared.
"If we can achieve this, it's considered a success!"
Jon shook his head. Compared to others, he actually knew his situation better.
"It's only half successful. I can fully control and use these magical powers, but there is still something missing on the emotional level."
"Haven't you already thought of a way to do this? Use the emotions of the original owner of the magic power."
"In theory, this method is feasible, but in practice, I have never been able to truly succeed. I can only reach this level now."
Grindelwald did not seem discouraged.
"It's enough to get to this point. There aren't many things that we can prepare until we are completely sure before we start."
Jon also agreed with this. He knew that the fact that things had progressed to this point was already smoother than they had imagined. What the final result would be, after they had tried their best, could only be decided by God.
"Does anything else need to be prepared?" Grindelwald asked Jon.
Jon said thoughtfully.
"We have completed all the preparations we need to make. What we need to see next is who will lose patience first. The war now is crucial. If we gain an absolute advantage in the end, then Voldemort will be the one who can't wait. If we are at a disadvantage, then our choices will become passive."
As Jon spoke, the fireplace in the room suddenly began to flicker with green flames. After a distortion of light, a human face appeared in the fireplace.
"Mr. Principal, the dark lord...he appears!"
Jon and Grindelwald suddenly stood up from their chairs. They looked at each other and instantly guessed what had happened on the battlefield!
…
"Take Holger away quickly! He can't hold out for much longer!"
Lupin shouted, dragging a bearded wizard beside him who was already unconscious and half covered in blood, and handed him to the wizard on the wizarding line who was in charge of transferring the wounded!
Sirius was standing next to him, breathing heavily, and in front of them was a wide open space. Above the open space, there were countless antenna-like things floating around. They were the [No-Fly Antennas] invented by the Weasley twins. These gadgets played an unexpected role on the battlefield and laid a great foundation for the advantageous situation currently held by the Wizarding World.
And beside them, there are hundreds and thousands of wizards gathered!
Almost half of the elite forces of the entire Wizarding World were deployed here, commanded by Lupin and assisted by Sirius.
Large-scale wars involving large crowds of people rarely occur between wizards. Most of the battles are small-scale battles between groups of three or five.
But the reality is that the smaller the scale of the encounter, the more casualties will be suffered by both sides , to a level that neither side can accept.
Wizards may not be a scarce resource, but it is extremely difficult to train a wizard who can perform outstandingly in war.
In the early small-scale battles, both sides suffered extremely serious losses in personnel. So at this stage, both Voldemort's British and French Ministry of Magic and the Wizarding World have tacitly integrated the originally scattered wizard teams together.
They did not intend to simply carry out small-scale special operations. Even if one side won in the end, it would be a tragic victory with one thousand enemies killed and eight hundred of their own men lost. No one on either side could accept such a situation.
Therefore, the current situation has emerged, which is similar to a decisive battle.
The open space in front of Lupin and the others was the battlefield of the decisive battle. At this moment, the land was already covered with blood. Obviously, this was not a war that had just begun.
Of course, the battlefield was not limited to Lupin and his men. Kingsley, Moody and his men were leading a group of people in another place, and the situation there was just as tragic as here.
"How long have they been stopped?"
Sirius finally calmed his breathing, wiped the remaining blood on his face, and asked Lupin.
"Forty-seven minutes. It's been almost an hour since their last attack."
"I really don't understand why you gave that task to Tonks, didn't you..."
"We have known for such a long time. Do you think I will be biased towards her in such matters just because she is my lover?"
Lupin's voice was calm.
"At this point, whether it's you, me or Kingsley, we can all see clearly that if we lose this war, none of us will be able to survive. So at this point, is the so-called care still necessary?"
Sirius let out a long breath.
"It doesn't matter. You always think more clearly than I do."
While they were talking, a commotion suddenly came from the slope opposite the open space. The next second, not only Lupin and Sirius, but all the wizards on the wizarding line guarding here became alert!
They ended this hard-earned rest, and their hand muscles, which had been relaxed, now gripped their wands even tighter.
At this time, they could already see countless spells lighting up in the opposite direction, shooting towards the [No Fly Antenna] floating in the sky.
This was the fixed offensive strategy of the British and French Ministries of Magic. They had an almost obsessive desire to gain air superiority, and before each battle, they would spend a lot of energy to clean up these inventions of the Weasley twins.
But this time, Lupin and Sirius could clearly feel that the actions of these pure-blood coalition forces were much more impatient than before!
"Almost fifteen minutes early! Why did they suddenly change their strategy? What are they trying to do in such a hurry?"
Lupin murmured, but in fact, as he asked the question, he already had the answer in his heart.
"Kingsley has made a big gain! Tonks and her men have made a difference!"
Sirius shouted excitedly!
"The people we are facing can't wait any longer! They are afraid of being surrounded by Kingsley and us!"
Soon, letters from several owls also proved this point. It turned out that Kingsley had made a major breakthrough on the battlefield!
Lupin and Sirius knew what they needed to do at this moment without even having to think about it.
As long as they hold on to this place! Once Kingsley has completely dealt with the situation over there, they can completely put an end to the current situation of a level confrontation between the two sides!
However, just as they made the decision.
An extremely disturbing black fog covered the entire sky at some point in time!
