Chapter 310 The Beginning of the Counterattack
That is the moon, a galactic body that can only be seen in paintings and past images in this era, serving as Earth's satellite.
In recent days, although there has been no deliberate propagation of faith, as Hermione has grown another year older, her magic has also increased day by day through her studies, and her celestial form has become increasingly enormous. Now that she has risen into the sky, her light can easily cover the entire shore of the Black Lake.
Everyone could see a bright, silvery disc shrouded in clouds, radiating an intoxicating and dazzling light. Tiny specks of dust drifted slowly down from the clouds along with the light, making the entire battlefield appear like a dream.
The first to notice the anomaly were naturally the werewolves, who were most sensitive to the moon.
Even those poor Muggles who had lost their minds, after being bathed in Hermione's radiance, quickly felt the wild power surging and expanding from the blood curse.
Even on the dangerous battlefield, amidst a hail of bullets, the werewolves couldn't help but turn back to gaze at the mysterious and spiritual source of light above the castle.
"Is that... the moon?" In the next moment, boundless bloodlust and rage overwhelmed their reason.
Apart from Greyback and a few high-ranking members who could take wolfsbane potion for extended periods, the vast majority of werewolves were driven into a complete frenzy by Hermione's moonlight.
Previously, Hogwarts faced them and naturally did not want to use moonlight to strengthen their enemies. But now, Muggles are fresh meat closer to the wrathful ruler, and these werewolves, after going berserk, will naturally only attack the nearest target.
Although they did not intend to join forces with Greyback, it did not prevent them from using these inhuman beasts as cannon fodder to deplete Soviet firepower.
"Hogwarts!" the Ruthless King roared furiously.
Seeing that all the werewolves guarding him had gone berserk just like the Muggles in front of him, the formation that had been able to barely organize a charge and pull was instantly turned into a chaotic beast tide.
All the werewolves, all his army, all the hard work he had put in over the years, had become flesh and blood targets under Muggle guns and cannons.
This made Graybuck's heart bleed.
But the moon is the werewolf's inviolable master. Even he himself, who had taken the wolf poison, didn't know if it was because Little Barty's level was not good enough, but under the moonlight, he felt a little restless.
We avoided the full moon, we planned everything perfectly, so why has the situation deteriorated to this point?
He couldn't understand it; he felt that God was playing a cruel joke on him, giving him hope for the rise of werewolves only to crush it with His own hands.
Besides the werewolves, the second group to sense something amiss were all the wizards.
Under the radiant light, a vast magical realm quietly formed. With Hermione's deliberate preferential treatment, the Hogwarts teachers and students, the Irish Green Eagles and their parents who came to their aid, and even Durmstrang's Black Ship, all felt a sudden surge in magical power.
With more active thinking and smoother spellcasting, the wizards' strength increased by at least 30% under the blessing of the moonlight.
However, Moonlight seemed to show no favoritism towards Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Even Moondust deliberately avoided them, providing them with no magical enhancement whatsoever.
"Wow, Hogwarts had this trick up its sleeve!" Scrimgeour exclaimed in mid-air.
The artillery positions stretching across the high ground were too busy to defend themselves under their harassment and were no longer able to bombard the Hogwarts barrier. However, the Muggles brought out anti-aircraft machine guns, which posed a significant threat to the broomsticks. He was leading the Green Eagles on a high-speed maneuver, looking for an opportunity to dismantle those metal lumps one by one.
The parents who came to help varied in strength and their flying skills were not particularly good, so McGonagall simply welcomed them into the castle to serve as long-range spellcasters and replenish the damage to the barrier.
With the added power of the enhanced magical realm, the students' combined spells increased significantly in both frequency and power. The Hammer cannonballs, trailing magnificent flames, landed in the quagmire where Muggles and werewolves were fighting, creating a massive explosion.
With Harry and Hermione's combined support, the members of the Order of the Phoenix became like valiant war gods, relentlessly chasing and attacking Bellatrix and her companions. Even with their immortality, many core Death Eaters began to suffer casualties.
Moreover, it wasn't just the Order of the Phoenix; the Nagilfa, coming from the northwest, also launched a campaign to strangle the Death Eaters from behind.
As Krum led his men at breakneck speed, he gazed absently at the full moon in the sky.
"Hogwarts, how many more surprises are you hiding—"
He'll be in seventh grade next year, and with the full support of the entire school and Grindelwald, his strength has surpassed that of most adult wizards. Even when facing Death Eaters head-on, he doesn't feel much pressure.
A long, black ship sounded a deep horn, and a flowing river of lava cascaded down the mountains. Inside the enormous cabin, hundreds of teachers and students skillfully performed a joint spellcasting exercise.
They also felt the enhancement brought by the moonlight, but there were no further emotional fluctuations. Years of military-style education had taught them to obey and to control their minds.
The Durmstrang students and teachers, who were also proficient in dark magic, forcibly seized control of the Infernals controlled by the Death Eaters when the Longship approached the castle. The Green Flame Party had been driven to flee by the Order of the Phoenix and had no time to care about the bodies below.
Right now, Durmstrang is closing in from behind, and the black ships below are launching clusters of fireballs that kill on contact and have some tracking ability. Meanwhile, there are elite air cavalry squadrons in the air. This is probably the most pressure Bella and her group have ever felt.
Previously, the Burmese had always ignored them, and Grindelwald wouldn't even give Voldemort a second glance unless Voldemort infiltrated their settlement to steal children.
"Retreat to the Muggle side!" Bella shouted hoarsely.
The battlefield there was chaotic enough, with all sorts of artillery fire flying around in the sky. Durmstrang's large ship would also attract Muggle fire, giving them a chance to escape while things were in disarray.
"Damn it! How many door keys did Little Barty break?!" she cursed.
Several days have passed, why is the space here still so turbulent!
In battles against Muggles, Apparition can provide wizards with a great deal of tactical space and is a very powerful means of dealing with Muggles.
But now, the wizards' own infighting has rendered this powerful method useless.
They found it difficult to kill the enemy, and also difficult to escape.
High in the sky, Voldemort, the wolf-fox, emerged from Dumbledore's flames and saw the moon rising from the castle.
This further tilted the tide of the war in Hogwarts' favor.
"Old man, you're really good at holding back," Voldemort sneered.
"An artificial moon, with such powerful methods, how come you've managed to stay alive until now?"
He knew the werewolves were completely finished. Having lost their minds, Greyback couldn't even organize a charge out of the battlefield.
He will most likely die in the siege of those insignificant Muggles.
His Death Eaters are also in dire straits. With the combined forces of the Order of the Phoenix and Nagilfa, it's hard to say how many of these dark wizards will be able to escape.
The most important thing now is to get out of this fighting cage first, and then find a way to rescue my most loyal subordinates.
