Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 465 Meat Grinder

Above the main hall is the Department of Magical Sports.

It's home to the headquarters of the British and Irish Quidditch Union, the official Gobstones Club, and the Burlesque Products Patent Office.

Apart from the official Gobstones Club, which has larger grounds for occasional games, the Funny Office and Quidditch Headquarters are just normal sized offices.

This makes the line of defense only suitable for official Gobstone clubs.

But the problem is that this place is a bit far from the elevator shaft. If the defense line is arranged here, the people involved in this defense are likely to fall into a situation where there is no way out.

"Giving apparition authority to combatants is the only way." Mad-Eye said with his artificial eyes twirling wildly.

"But it will take time. If it's too late, those who have not opened their permissions in time are likely to..."

"Where there is battle, there must be sacrifice."

Before Gadwin could finish speaking, Mad-Eye interrupted with a louder voice, "That's it, Gadwin, you're on the registration list now, and a lock of their hair."

"This……"

Caldwin hesitated, not wanting to see the Aurors cornered.

"If you hesitate for a second longer, one more person may die here because you didn't have time to activate Apparation, so, Gadwin, get on the list." Mad-Eye swung his cane angrily, and said loudly.

"it is good."

Gadwin gritted his teeth, responded fiercely, and quickly made a list, and got those people's hair to hand in.

After all the non-combatants left, the people in the main hall also retreated to this floor.

Those without permission to apparate continued upward, while those with permission stayed and continued to resist.

Scrimgeour, the head of the Aurors, came up last. Although he was not killed in battle, he was also seriously injured because of his post-break job.

"Gardwin, I'll leave this to you, and I'll set up the next line of defense."

Mad-Eye gave the order quickly, and then went up to the Department of Magical Transportation on the sixth floor.

There are a total of four departments here, in charge of flying broomsticks, floo nets, and door keys, as well as the apparition test center.

The largest venue is, of course, the Apparition Test Center.

"Everyone here has the right to apparate. Gentlemen, this is bound to be a crueler battlefield. Therefore, wizards who participate in guarding this floor must sign up voluntarily."

After Mad-Eye visited the scene, the first thing he did was to identify the personnel.

Naturally, he does not need to implement this work, and the staff of the Ministry of Magic will be responsible for confirmation and statistics.

What he does more is to determine the construction of the defensive front, which is what he is good at and what is most needed now.

And in this line of defense, everyone has seen the extraordinary combat experience of Mad-Eye:
He decisively chose the line of defense in the maze, and set up many hidden points in it, so that the Aurors could apparate into it and hit the enemy in the back.

At the same time, in order to prevent his own people from losing themselves in the maze, he also sent maps to the Aurors.

And because he was afraid that the enemy would get these maps and take the initiative, he divided the map into many different areas, and let the Aurors only walk in the areas that they own the map.

In this way, even if the enemy gets a part of the map, it is difficult to get the whole picture.

"Everyone has a map, but you have to add a password to the map by yourself. You set the specific password yourself. There is only one requirement-to ensure that the enemy is in the short term. It is difficult to determine based on your regional map. path."

After giving this order, Mad-Eye began to sort out his map.

The map in his hand is a panorama map, which is the only panorama map among all the people.

"Moody, you..." Minister Crouch hesitated for a while, but he couldn't express the worry in his heart after all.

But his posture had already made Mad-Eye understand what he meant.

"The enemy won't get any information from me, Minister Crouch, even if I'm hit by the death curse, I will definitely destroy the map before I die."

After Mad-Eye finished speaking forcefully, he waved his hands impatiently and said, "Go to the upper floor, the seriously injured Director Scrimgeour needs your help even more."

And not long after he drove away Minister Crouch, the seventh floor was declared broken, and the enemy rushed to the sixth floor.

Sure enough, as Mad-Eye expected, the battle here was extremely fierce because of the ability to apparate.

In the maze, the two sides consumed each other's combat power like a meat grinder.

Green light, red light, exploding curse, life-killing curse, endless methods are filled here, putting everyone's life in danger at all times.

Just Mad-Eye himself was under many unknown spells, not to mention other combatants.

But even so, Minister Crouch is still sending people to this battlefield in a steady stream.

"Although the battle in the Apparition Test Center was brutal, Minister Crouch, there are almost no places on the upper floors that are more suitable for fighting. If we don't invest more troops in this place and consume more enemies, I'm afraid they will Called all the way to the minister's office."

Director Scrimgeour's words made Minister Crouch even more determined.

As a result, the number of wizards who had been continuously supporting the battlefield below soared again.

This also made the battlefield below, like a meat grinder, cause more wizards to lose their lives.

Even, there have been street battles with wizard corpses as barriers, and there is a place on both sides of an alley that is completely stained red with blood.

Such a brutal battle was something wizards had never experienced before.

This even caused some wizards to vomit first thing after entering the battlefield.

Compared with these wizards, their enemies seem to be much easier.

Under the cold mask, these people are like killing machines without emotion, daring to rush and fight, regardless of personal safety.

"How on earth did they train these wizards?"

Hearing the information from the front line, Minister Crouch asked in surprise.

"The Dark Lord once had a guess that the Observer might let wizards participate in street fighting in the Muggle Wars in order to cultivate their combat experience. He also suggested..."

Pain and remorse appeared on Director Scrimgeour's face, and he said, "If I had known this, I should have listened to the Dark Lord and sent a group of people into the North American battlefield."

Minister Crouch froze for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

When the Dark Lord proposed this plan, he was the first to object.

At that time, he thought that this was a completely unnecessary sacrifice, but now it seems that it is indeed a rainy day.

It's a pity that both he and Director Scrimgeour were wary of the Dark Lord back then.

That suggestion was firmly rejected by them.

"If the Death Eaters participated in that battlefield, why not..." Scrimgeour looked at Minister Crouch and said with hesitation.

"Don't underestimate the 'eyes' of the Dark Lord, Scrimgeour, the absence of the Death Eaters means that he doesn't want to participate in this war." Crouch shook his head.

Scrimgeour nodded silently, at this moment, another battle report was sent:

On the battlefield of the apparition test center, seven Aurors and eighteen war wizards were killed.

The name of the test center meat grinder has been completely established.
