Take control of thunder and lightning from Hogwarts

Chapter 703 Carriage (seeking a recommended monthly ticket)
Everyone at the scene also heard what Anduin meant at this time. It turns out that this actual combat exercise is a relay race. Each team enters in turn, instead of waiting for the previous team to be eliminated before it is the turn of the next team.

In this way, the advantages and disadvantages of the teams entering first and entering later are obvious. The teams entering first have the first-mover advantage, and their progress will definitely be faster than the teams behind.

Teams that enter later have an intelligence advantage, and they can summarize the gains and losses of the first entrants, such as identifying obvious danger areas.

On the other hand, this also means that every action team participating in the mission has now changed from a companion to a competitor. You must know that there is also a limit to the number of hostages, especially the only princess.

After hearing the news, the most uncomfortable thing was the twins and others of the fourth team. They were the last to go in together. After they went deep, who knew whether those hostages had been rescued long ago.

"It's over, I thought we took advantage of it, who would have thought that this would be the result." Fred held his head in pain.

"Don't get discouraged so early." Cedric was relatively calm, "You should have seen that the ruins are more dangerous than imagined, we have to use our advantages now, and it's not like we don't have a chance to catch up to the front people."

Having said that, Cedric picked up a sharp stone from the side and drew a sketch of a copy of the ruins on the ground. He marked the three main roads and several more obvious buildings, and placed them in the middle of the main road. Crossed out.

Hermione nodded after seeing Cedric's approach, "Yes, at our level, it won't take long to catch up with a distance of one or two kilometers. It seems more beneficial to let them help us open the way ahead."

"Okay, I hope the monsters in the ruins can give some strength, otherwise we can only drink the northwest wind." George took a long breath, and then sat down cross-legged, carefully examining the movement in front of him.

At this time, Wood, Neville and the others of the second team were also ready. They learned the lesson of the first team and did not choose to enter the instance from the main road, but chose the small road on the left.

No one knew whether all the roads were set up with traps, but it was too slow to move directly through the ruins. After thinking for a long time, Wood decided to try walking along one road.

Of course, he was not unprepared for the attack. After leading everyone into the dungeon, Wood immediately tilted his head and said, "We will advance along the right side of the road in a linear formation. If there is any change, please pay attention to my password. When I said retreat, everyone ran to the right in unison, these ruins are our natural cover, and retreating to the same side will not cause us to get lost."

"Yes, Captain!" The honest and honest Neville responded immediately, and Wood's arrangement can be said to be relatively thoughtful, at least emergency measures were prepared.

Because of the lessons learned by Penello's team, their group was very cautious, and they basically didn't chat much along the way, and they all carefully guarded their surroundings.

And this group of people soon encountered their own troubles. After the second team walked a hundred meters along the left branch road, as if some switch was activated, there were soon people in the ruins around them. There was movement.

It was the sound of rustling footsteps, accompanied by the sound of falling stones and crackling, but other than that, there was no strange phenomenon in the field of vision.

This was completely different from the silence in the front of the first team during the main road, and it also made Wood and the others immediately alert.

"Be careful, step aside and hide. Neville, you are responsible for watching what's behind you. Everyone play according to circumstances!" Encountering such a vision, Wood was not in the mood to let everyone go forward so blatantly, but led them to hide carefully.

After a while, they finally saw the source of the sound, and at the intersection not far from the crowd, a group of skeleton squads walked out. They had a complete coordination of arms, and the number was close to twenty.

At the same time, there was actually a skeleton carriage in the queue, and a strange stone box was being dragged on the board, which looked like a coffin.

This group of skeletons walked past the crowd so slowly, it didn't seem to be aimed at the people of the second team, as if they were going to transport the coffin to attend the funeral.

"Skeletons dragging coffins? What are they going to do?" Hannah Aibo in the team stared at the skeletons that appeared in front of her speechlessly. She couldn't understand why such a coffin appeared in a group of undead creatures.

"I don't know, what should we do next, should we wait for them to leave before we act or take the initiative to engage the enemy?" Ernie lowered his voice nervously, for fear of alarming the monsters.

Wood glanced at the skeleton queue, and after thinking about it secretly, he turned around and whispered, "There are 22 enemies in total, including 4 skeleton swordsmen, 6 skeleton spearmen, and 12 skeleton archers. The most difficult one to deal with should be I can take care of those skeleton swordsmen, but are you confident in dealing with the rest of the enemies?"

In the second team, the honest Neville shared the skeleton construction information he knew with everyone early on, so they generally knew the strength of these monsters.

"Or just do it. Anyway, there are no strange enemies like giant skeletons among them. If we don't expect them, we can catch them by surprise!" Hannah, the only girl in the team, was very aggressive.

The rest of the people also looked eager to try. After all, this is just a battlefield simulation, and it is not a real battle to kill the enemy. They have also seen Mandy who was killed and teleported back safely before, so these people are very interested in the battle. Not so scared.

"Okay, let's dig out the backs of these skeletons after they go a little further. You guys should focus on the archers, and I'll deal with the swordsmen!"

Wood, who was born in the Lion Academy, actually wanted to fight a long time ago, but he had to take care of other people's ideas, so he asked symbolically, and the results showed that these little devils were more excited than him.

"Gah!"

But just when everyone was discussing to ambush this group of enemies, a hoarse howl suddenly came from the coffin on the carriage, and then the skeleton convoy stopped, and at the same time, the skeletons turned their heads in unison. Looking towards the hiding place of Wood and his party.

No, it was discovered!
Wood reacted quickly when he saw this, and quickly got up and blasted a shock spell that had already been charged, and at the same time shouted loudly, "Do it!"

Hearing his greeting, the rest of the people didn't hesitate, and the four of them, including Neville, shot four shattering spells in unison. They knew that the most effective way to deal with these enemies was to 'shatter their bodies to pieces'!

"Bang bang bang!"

As soon as the battle started, the attack of the second team had achieved initial results. Wood's charged repelling spell directly penetrated the entire convoy, and a skeleton swordsman and a skeleton spearman were instantly smashed to pieces.

The spells of the other four were also prepared long ago, so the accuracy of the first shot was quite good, defeating the four skeleton archers respectively.

"Ow!"

The skeletons who lost six people in an instant seemed to be enraged, roaring loudly one by one, and quickly put on a fighting posture.

Skeleton swordsmen and spearmen rushed towards the crowd one by one, copying their weapons, and those archers also began to draw their arrows and bend their bows, a head-to-head battle was about to begin.

"Ernie, Terry, you two climb to the high point and deal directly with those archers. Even if you can't defeat them quickly, you still have to interfere with their attacks. Neville and Hannah will follow me to meet the enemy head-on!" As a Quidditch The captain, Wood, was extremely calm when commanding the battle. He was used to giving orders.

"Yes!"

Ernie and Terry didn't hesitate when they heard the words. After so long of tactical training, they were no longer the little brats they were back then. They stepped on the rubble and wreckage next to them like stepping up stairs, and quickly jumped to a dilapidated house on the right. On the balcony on the second floor, cast spells on the archers behind.

"Flying sand and stone!"

"There are many obstacles!"

Neither of them had the confidence to hit the enemy directly by aiming quickly at such a distance, so they both chose the interference strategy.

The sand and rocks splashed by the Flying Sand and Rock Curse affected several skeleton archers who got together and completely lost their aim. The Obstacle Curse even knocked down two archers directly. Although it failed to crush them, it also delayed the attack. .

"Break into pieces!" "Quickly knock back!"

With the cover of his teammates, Wood doesn't need to think too much about the arrows shot, so he can attack wantonly with great power.

Even those skeleton swordsmen holding shields couldn't stop his third-level repelling spell and crushing spell, and the skeletons in the front row were crushed one by one in a short while.

Although Neville and Hannah were a bit off-point, they couldn't always hit one with two or three spells.

Of course, some spells were directly blocked by the skeleton swordsman's shield, and some failed to defeat the enemy due to lack of power after a frontal hit, but undoubtedly their spells had already suppressed the opposite skeleton.

The current performance of these skeleton structures is worthy of their status as miscellaneous soldiers. They are no different from targets when they fail to form a battle formation. After a while, the number of skeletons is reduced to half. Seeing that the second team can take them down unscathed completely annihilated.

But at this moment, there was a change in the skeleton carriage that was standing still!

"Crench!"

There was a sudden sound from the plain white bone coffin cover on the carriage, as if someone inside was pushing it. After a while, the coffin finally loosened and was pushed away by a huge force.

Immediately after this coffin, a skeleton stood up straight like an ancient zombie, defying the laws of physics.

This skeleton is about the same size as an ordinary skeleton soldier, but unlike the other naked skeletons, it is wearing a slightly dilapidated leather armor and a light blue cloak with gold stripes on its shoulders. Holding a rapier with guards, like an ancient fencer.

As soon as the strangely dressed skeleton appeared, he immediately turned his head and scanned the crowd attacking the convoy with his scarlet eyes. After making a distinction, he immediately focused his gaze on the two little wizards on the second floor who were in charge of cover.

"Ow!"

The blue-robed skeleton let out a dry howl, then kicked its legs vigorously, and then slid towards Ernie and Terry in the air. It was obviously tens of meters away from them, but it seemed as if it had given birth to a pair of wings. Defy gravity.

"careful!"

Ernie, who kept using spells to cover the front troops on the balcony, quickly noticed the blue-robed skeleton. He quickly warned Terry beside him, and at the same time shot two spells at the enemies in the air.

But the blue-robed skeleton gliding in the air was like a flexible swallow at this time, and it could change its position freely in the air. It was just a spell to avoid the attack by swinging right, and it quickly rushed in front of the two of them.

"Come down, there's something wrong with this skeleton, don't fight him hard!" Wood, who was facing the enemy, also noticed what happened to the two of them. Ernie and the others evacuate.

But in the face of Wood's curse, the blue-robed skeleton just swiped his sword and cut the magic bullet of the repelling curse, and at the same time he relentlessly attacked the two.

Facing the menacing skeleton swordsman, Ernie and Terry panicked for a while. They didn't even pay attention to Wood's warning, but just blindly shot spells at each other.

But the rapier in the blue-robed skeleton's hand was like a sharp blade. Whether it was a shattering spell or an impeding spell, they were all smashed like pieces of paper.

Facing this sharp attack, Ernie jumped back instinctively, barely avoiding it, but the blue-robed skeleton moved extremely swiftly, which was not comparable to the ordinary skeletons below. After the blow missed, he raised his sword and stabbed straight again.

This time Ernie was not so lucky, he was tied into a white light and disappeared on the spot.

Seeing this, Terry, who was next to him, trembled. Could this skeleton be so fierce?
And just when the blue-robed skeleton raised its hand to attack Terry again, the rapier in its hand was suddenly caught by another long bone sword. When he looked up, he realized that Neville had also jumped onto the balcony at some point .

It turned out that Neville was also very anxious when he saw the blue-robed skeleton rushing towards the two people on the balcony, but he was very self-aware and knew that his spell might not be able to do anything to the other party.

Therefore, after Wood smashed a skeleton swordsman rushing forward, he immediately grabbed a white bone one-handed sword, and then rushed to the balcony to prepare for close support.

It's a pity that Neville was in a hurry and still couldn't save Ernie, but at least he arrived before Terry was in danger.

"Terry, hurry down, I will find a way to entangle this guy."

Neville wasn't so arrogant that he thought he could single out this elite monster, but he had carefully observed the opponent's moves before, and they were all relatively rigid horizontal and vertical slashes and straight stabs, and the attack angle was also very fixed. The limitations of constructing skeletons are gone.

It's just that the blue-robed skeleton's attack speed is very fast, making it difficult for people to keep up. After a simulation in his mind, Neville judged that he should be able to barely block it.

"Okay!" Terry, who was in the same grade, knew what Neville was capable of, so he didn't talk nonsense at this time, and jumped off the balcony directly.

He must quickly support Wood, because the sudden appearance of this blue-robed skeleton has disrupted the rhythm of the frontal battlefield, and the skeleton archers who were disturbed before have also freed their hands, and now Wood is also overwhelmed by the arrows he shoots from time to time .
