Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 499 Hogwarts Ruins
"Don't wrestle them, run out and Apparate away."

As he spoke, Neville drew out the long sword at his waist and rushed into the crowd.

His intention was obvious, to rely on his melee strength to hold back the enemy so that his own people could leave.

Deja was a little red-eyed, but Crouch Jr. quickly stopped him and dragged him back.

The other members of the Fuli family were not as bloody as him. Those people seemed to be frightened by the bomb and did not show any fighting power.

The group retreated again, and Neville quickly flew away after disrupting the enemy's formation.

A short break from the battle, but the enemy has been chasing behind.

There were not many of them, and they were quite afraid of Neville, who could fly and had explosive combat power, so they were not in a hurry to attack.

But obviously, they also have the intention of retreating.

"What's the point of hanging us like this?" Neville frowned and asked Little Crouch after returning to the team.

"Maybe there is an interception ahead, or maybe there are preparations in other positions." Crouch Jr. speculated.

Neville shook his head, saying that he did not agree with Crouch Jr.'s guess, but he didn't say anything.

He had a bad premonition in his heart, but he couldn't explain the source of this premonition.

After running forward for a while, the enemy's reinforcements appeared, not in front, but coming from the enemy's rear.

"Did you see that person? I haven't seen an enemy wearing this equipment before." Neville pointed backwards while flying.

Little Crouch also turned his head to look, and saw an enemy carrying a piece of equipment with an antenna.

"Like a signal soldier, what is his role?" Little Crouch asked.

"I don't know, but I guess it has something to do with Apparition." Neville said in a deep voice.

These words made everyone's hearts jump. In the defense of Hogwarts three years ago, it was precisely because the enemies were isolated from long-distance jumping witches such as apparition and portkeys that they were defeated.

This time, could it be that the enemy invented a device to isolate the apparition ability in a small area?
If this is the case, the impact on both sides will no longer be limited to this small-scale battle.

"We've reached the border, Apparate, target Black Forest Highlands."

Neville ordered, then turned first in the air and Apparated away from the edge of the jungle.

At the same time, the Death Eaters and the Foley family below also apparated and left.

But the eyes of the enemy were all on the man who looked like a signal soldier, and that man skillfully operated the equipment in his hand after everyone left.

A second or two later, the man tapped the red button on the device, and instantly a magical light spread from the device, covering everyone.

Then they apparated together, and followed the footsteps of Neville and others to the Black Forest Highlands in the next instant.

At this time, everyone who thought they were out of battle and wondered that the enemy had no new means was obviously caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the enemy.

"Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~"

After several spells, at least two Death Eaters and a member of the Foley family were unable to escape in time and died under the spell.

"Shhhh~~~"

The most vigilant Neville threw out the boomerang at the first time, and at the same time drew out his two swords to attack the enemy.

The indomitable momentum frightened the enemy to flee in a panic.

Melee invincibility is synonymous with Neville on the battlefield.

“Da da da~~~”

The sound of machine guns sounded, and after leaving the range of the Foley family castle, the enemy began to use thermal weapons on a large scale.

Neville was no stranger to this, his figure twisted in the air, and the modified Iron Armor Charm was already standing in front of him.

This armor curse is specially prepared for thermal weapons, and it has a wonderful additional attribute-forced deceleration.

This will sharply reduce the power of the bullets, so that even if the power of the Iron Armor Curse has not increased, it can still block many bullets when the power of the bullets decreases.

After rushing into the crowd, Neville's strength in melee combat began to show. The two slashing swords danced like the wind, and the nearby enemies were instantly scattered by him.

The Death Eaters have also launched a counterattack, and the gap between spells will even be accompanied by gunshots.

Three years of fighting had already made the Death Eaters understand the use of thermal weapons, not to mention that guns were not difficult weapons to use.

The battle started instantly, and both sides suffered casualties.

But soon, Neville discovered that the enemy's reinforcements were coming in a steady stream. They seemed to have a special positioning system that could guide the enemy to apparate directly to join the battle.

"Get out of here, target..."

Neville spoke, but there was some hesitation in his words.

If you rush back to the stronghold without finding out how the enemy is tracking them, you are likely to be taken over by the enemy.

As for Gaunt Castle...

Although the enemy has never stormed Fort Gaunt, Neville guessed that it was just that the enemy did not want to destroy this historic fortress, but it did not mean that they would not destroy it heartlessly.

Therefore, Neville did not want to introduce the war to Fort Gaunt.

"Target Hogwarts ruins, be careful to use anti-radiation spells."

After Neville finished speaking, he did not leave first, but reappeared where the enemy was densely packed.

In battle, he is always the first to arrive and the last to leave.

After getting his order, Crouch Jr. began to organize everyone to leave.

Although he didn't know why it was the Hogwarts ruins, he knew that there must be a reason for Neville to issue such an order.

Numerous battles have already proved Neville's commanding talent.

The Death Eaters and members of the Foley family began to leave in groups of three or four, until Crouch Jr. finally informed Neville before he left.

After being notified, Neville also rose into the air and Apparated away from this place.

"Whoosh."

During the turning of the figure, everything around has changed.

After Neville's eyesight adjusted to everything around him, what he saw was a broken wall full of stones.

And in the center of these chaotic stones, a golden chair with half of its missing side leaned against it.

It was Dumbledore's chair, where he would sit at meals, or at the beginning of each year's term.

He had been there, scanning the Hogwarts students with warm eyes.

Time passed, the old man was dead, and the chair was broken.

"Whoosh whoosh~~"

There was a sound of apparition, and this time the Death Eaters, Neville and others were not unprepared.

They decisively use magic to counterattack the enemies who are chasing them.

Caught off guard, the enemy killed and injured several people, but the Iron Armor Curse was quickly lifted, and more enemies found cover.

Those ruins are the best "natural" bunkers.

The battle begins again, above the ruins of Hogwarts.

"It seems that the enemy no longer shy away from the radiation here."

Before Neville rushed out, Crouch Jr. said to him from behind the cover.

"Maybe they also mastered the anti-radiation spell."

Neville said blankly, and then glanced at the enemy's position, "They are still increasing their numbers, it seems that they want to strangle us here."

After hearing this, Little Crouch looked at Neville with a strange expression: "Neville, they don't want to strangle us here. Their target may only be you."

Neville was taken aback by what he said, and then touched his nose with a wry smile.
