The Admiral of Hogwarts

Twenty-odd minutes later, Hugo and the others bypassed the magic defense line of that small temporary camp by way of a mountain cliff that normal humans basically couldn't pass. Then, they raised the binoculars in their hands and looked towards the camp on their lower side. At the same time, Enterprise released a series of fighter planes disguised as small birds to patrol the surrounding area.

"This group of people shouldn't have been recruited temporarily; they are likely some kind of professional team." After a brief observation, Enterprise, with her abundant combat experience, quickly discerned the specific situation of the camp below. "There are about 12 people in the camp, but I don't know why only two of them are patrolling outside right now."

"Is there something wrong with having two people patrol outside out of 12?" Hearing Enterprise say this, Hugo seemed a little puzzled and asked. "I don't think it's necessary to send so many people out on patrol, especially since it's night. At least, in my opinion, those people have probably gone back to sleep."

"No, you don't understand the situation here." Enterprise contacted the carrier aircraft to expand the reconnaissance range while whispering, "During the day, in addition to the two people stationed in the camp, there are also two patrols, each with two people. For a professional team, withdrawing the patrols at night, when it's more dangerous, is obviously not a normal thing."

"More importantly, I've never seen those two people on night watch before when I followed Enterprise's plane through the Admiral's network," Victory, standing on Hugo's shoulder at this time, tugged at his ear, prompting him to turn his head. Then, she explained, "Although their wizard robes look no different from ordinary wizard robes, the texture of their robes is clearly very high-end, and the accessories are also exquisite items."

As a system spirit-like existence, Victory can roam through every network node through the Admiral's network, and she is naturally very curious about all kinds of new things. So, she simply hitched a ride on the fighter plane that Enterprise sent for reconnaissance yesterday, so she spotted the oddity at a glance.

"What?" Hearing Victory say this, Hugo immediately looked at those two people through the binoculars. Although he couldn't temporarily distinguish the texture of the clothes on these two people, their unprofessional appearance made them seem like they were here for a trip, not on night watch.

"In other words, there might be something more dangerous hidden in those tents around now." After seeing the situation inside this camp clearly, Hugo frowned. "It's a pity that we have no way to do further reconnaissance now, otherwise, maybe we could make some targeted preparations."

Although the entire camp looked like an ordinary mountaineering camp, with only a bonfire in the center of the camp and six ordinary-looking small tents around the bonfire, considering that the wizarding world sells tents with spatial magic cast on them, it was hard to say how many people were actually inside these tents.

At least in Hugo's opinion, those two guys who were ostensibly on guard looked like bait placed outside. And those tents by the bonfire, which looked like they could only fit two people, could at least fit an Indian motorcycle and all its passengers, so it was really hard to fathom how much power was hidden in the camp.

"There's no use thinking so much now. Since we're already here, then the operation definitely can't be—" Just as Enterprise was saying this, preparing to rush out with Vesta, she suddenly paused and made a gesture for silence. "It seems like someone else is approaching this camp now. Let's watch and see."

Hearing Enterprise say this, Hugo and the others immediately ambushed themselves and then connected to the perspective of Enterprise's fighter planes through the Admiral's network. Soon, three young people wearing robes that looked like ghillie suits appeared in the view from the fighter planes. Judging from the magic wands they held in their hands, they should be three wizards.

Wearing ghillie suits, they slowly approached the small camp on the hillside like ghosts. Unfortunately, they were clearly lacking in experience in this regard, so although they avoided several obvious warning spells, they still triggered a hidden warning spell about twenty meters away from the camp.

After this warning spell was triggered, there were no obvious sound or light effects, but Hugo and the others found that the two people who had previously looked leisurely roasting a fire and drinking tea quietly reached into their robes under the cover of the fire, obviously grabbing their magic wands and preparing to make some retaliatory actions.

"Next, enter a state of war. All of our communication will use the Admiral's network," Enterprise said through the Admiral's network. "Also, Victory, no matter what happens next, you must stay by the Admiral's side. If you encounter danger, take the Admiral away from the battlefield immediately."

After speaking, Enterprise set off with Vesta. When they left their hiding place, Hugo was surprised to find that although the road from their hiding place to the camp was covered with a layer of leaves and dead branches that had accumulated for an unknown amount of time, the two ship girls made almost no sound when advancing through the forest.

"We can adjust our own weight." Because everyone was now connected to the Admiral's network and had released their souls, Victory, who had already returned to her human form, quickly understood what Hugo was thinking and then replied.

"The upper limit of weight adjustment is the fully loaded tonnage in our ship's history, while the lower limit is equivalent to the weight of a rivet on the ship. And now, Enterprise has probably adjusted her weight to about five kilograms, which is why she can travel like this now."

Just as Hugo and Victory had just finished communicating, the three wizards wearing ghillie suits also approached the camp from the side and rear of the camp. However, just as they raised their magic wands to launch an attack, the two people who had been sitting by the fire with their backs to them immediately jumped to the left and right, while simultaneously drawing out their magic wands and releasing two beams of green light.

"Avada Kedavra—" Accompanied by the shouts of these two wizards, two beams of green light flew directly towards the three wizards who were trying to approach the camp. Fortunately, these three wizards had been keeping their spirits high, so these two hastily fired Killing Curses failed to hit any of them, but instead brushed past them and directly broke a tree the thickness of a thigh in half.

After suddenly encountering the attack, these three wizards were obviously a little surprised, but soon they also launched a counterattack. One by one, stunning spells and explosion curses flew from their magic wands and flew towards the two people in the tent area, forcing the two people to retreat step by step, from the bonfire at the core of the tent area to the edge of the campsite far away from these three people.

"The situation is a bit wrong." Looking at the situation on the battlefield now, Hugo frowned, because according to the results of the previous reconnaissance by Enterprise and the others, there were at least four other people here, but now, apart from these two people, no one else had entered the battlefield.

And here, the fire and explosions are so obvious now, that theoretically speaking, it is impossible for the other party not to know that there is an enemy attack. The unusual silence in the camp now can only mean that the people in the camp are preparing to brew some kind of conspiracy.

"Don't worry, the problem won't be too big." Victory, looking at the real-time battlefield map uploaded by Enterprise and her, said, "Enterprise and Vesta have already approached the edge of the camp, so we will definitely be able to react in time if something happens."
