Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 464 Retreat
Caldwin's plan failed, but he did not give up.

After returning to the second basement of the Ministry of Magic, he organized two counterattacks from the outside to the inside.

But the two counterattacks still ended in failure.

There are not many enemy wizards outside, but long-distance snipers and nearby armed soldiers have become trenches that they cannot cross.

"How is the situation outside?"

When Gadwin returned for the third time, the Minister of Magic, Crouch, had already appeared here, and asked him as soon as he saw him.

"A lot of Muggle soldiers, covered by firepower..."

"Dream magic doesn't work either?" Crouch asked interrupting him.

"There are too many snipers in the distance, and there are too few opportunities given. There is a chance to use the Disillusionment Charm close...but there are too many soldiers ambushing there, and there are wizards inside." Gadwin explained.

"Wizard?" Crouch asked in surprise, "The Observer?"

Gadwin nodded resentfully, expressing that he also had the same guess.

"Director Scrimgeour..."

"He's up there." Before Crouch could finish his question, the mad-eyed man on crutches suddenly came up, "The main hall can't be blocked anymore, let's set up a line of defense in the Department of Magical Sports and Sports."

"Department of Magic and Sports?" Gadwin asked in surprise.

It was the seventh floor of the Ministry of Magic, just above the main hall.

"You mean, those people will attack?" Crouch asked immediately.

Mad-Eye's fake eyes turned around, and said: "Yes, and I suggest that every layer above should be protected in advance, this battle is likely to completely fall the Ministry of Magic, just like the original Like the U.S. Department of Magic."

His guess really scared everyone.

Everyone almost looked at him like a madman, but Mad-Eye just kept silent and didn't refute anything.

"Moody is the most experienced Auror among us, and I think everyone should listen to his advice."

Crouch made his statement on the spot, and looked at Mad-Eye and said, "Moody, you will lead the Aurors and go to the Department of Magical Sports to set up defenses."

Mad-Eye nodded immediately, indicating that there was no problem.

"Will they attack downward?" Gadwin asked suddenly, "There is the Department of Mysteries and the courtroom..."

"Don't worry about it, Gadwin, the Department of Mysteries is stronger than we thought, I wish they could do that."

Crouch explained, and after a short silence, he said, "Gardwin, you go to the Department of Magical Communications and build up the defense system one by one. In any case, they cannot completely break through the Ministry of Magic."

"No problem, Minister." Gadwin said loudly.

"I will help you mobilize resources and manpower, including medical teams." The Minister of Magic said again.

He has no desire to rush to the front line, and everyone is not surprised by this.

After all, Crouch is not known for his strong fighting power. If he wants to go, everyone will probably stop him.

"No problem, Minister. Also, make final preparations." Mad-Eye responded with a different meaning.

Crouch froze for a moment, then nodded vigorously, as if he had made some kind of determination.

……

Fort Gunter.

"Whoosh."

A figure appeared here, it was Percy with some disheveled clothes.

"I want to see the teacher."

When he appeared, he called to the castle.

"The Dark Lord isn't here, he's gone to Gaunt's library."

Wormtail's voice was heard in the castle, and then a gap was opened in the door, revealing Wormtail's eyes.

Too bad he didn't even see Percy's shadow, because Percy had already Apparated away.

"Teacher... suddenly used Intercontinental Apparition to leave, Senior Percy, what do you want?"

Draco looked at Percy suspiciously, not understanding why this senior, who was always meticulous in the past, was dressed in such shabby clothes today.

Also, his spirits don't look very good either.

"Is the teacher not here..."

Percy murmured, the disappointment in his words anyone could hear.

"Percy, what happened?" Ginny asked, stepping up to Percy.

"Pene...it's the Ministry of Magic, it's been attacked, do you know?" Percy paused before he could speak, and then changed the subject.

"My father has already informed me that it's safe to go to the Gaunt Library, or Hogwarts, anyway, he won't let us go to the Ministry of Magic," Draco replied.

"Indeed, that's not where you should be going now."

Percy didn't comment further on this, he thought for a while and asked, "Do you know where little Crouch is?"

"Little Crouch?" Draco thought for a while, and said, "Maybe Mr. Quirrell knows that he is in charge of this library. It is said that Mr. Crouch Jr. is also here, but I have never seen him."

"Okay, thank you, Draco."

After expressing his gratitude, Percy quickly turned and walked upstairs to the library, where the curator Quirrell was.

"Little Crouch."

With a long voice, Qi Luo asked doubtfully, "Is there something wrong?"

"Yes, but I just want to communicate with little Crouch after seeing him in person." Percy pursed his lips and said a little stubbornly.

Quirrell hesitated for a moment, nodded, and led him to the top floor of the library.

……

Ministry of Magic.

main hall.

The security check counters, the Magic Brothers Fountain, the Magic as Power Monument, and even the elevator shaft have all been destroyed by magic.

All the existence that can be used as a shelter is the arched floor that was bombed by magic, or the rubble of a relatively large statue.

But even with these obstacles, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic couldn't hold on anymore.

"There's a message from above, you can leave." The Auror who was close to the elevator shaft suddenly shouted.

"People close to the elevator shaft are the first to evacuate. After I lead the team, I will bring the wounded."

Director Scrimgeour wiped the sweat off his face, and gave orders to the Aurors hiding behind the bunkers.

Afterwards, he suddenly jumped up from behind his cover, and threw three spells in succession while rushing out.

At the same time, several spells were shot from the opposite side, one of which even hit him and made him fly backwards.

"Director~"

The Aurors yelled, and immediately fought back.

Scrimgeour, on the other hand, turned around sharply during the inverted flight, and directly apparated away from here.

"withdraw."

shouted the Auror near the elevator shaft, stepping into it first.

"They're going to flee."

Those who stormed the Ministry of Magic roared, and some stood up and waved their wands into the elevator shaft.

And at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared, and quickly swung the wand to cast magic.

"Boom."

A green light shot straight at the man who got up and used magic to hit the elevator shaft.

It was Scrimgeour, who Apparated away the moment he flew upside down, then Apparated back and changed directions, casting a Killing Curse.

This is a good method of surprise attack, but unfortunately it is only suitable for Aurors in the hall.

Also, not everyone who works at the Ministry of Magic has the right to Apparate here.

Even within the Ministry of Magic, Apparition is not available everywhere.
