Chapter 496 Despair
"Mike, they're heading your way."
"I saw it."
Above the cliff at the entrance of the canyon, Mike responded to Franklin in the distance through the Masonic gold coin on his chest, but his eyes were always focused on the white semicircular light curtain approaching him below.
"Heh, useless struggle." Mike snorted coldly, and then murmured, "Lilith, attack."
'Yes, Master. '
"Boom boom boom!"
A muffled sound accompanied by a violent tremor of the earth came from the canyon below Mike.
The Death Eaters' team suddenly became chaotic. Many people sensed the impending danger and wanted to leave the team.
But unfortunately, the Death Eaters' speed had already increased. The will of an individual could not change the direction of the flesh and blood chariot formed by the Death Eaters. It could only be carried forward.
As the vibration became stronger and stronger, one after another, the soldier ants dressed in black and insect armor drilled out from the ground around the Death Eaters, raised their spears and stabbed at the Death Eaters closest to them!
"Ah!"
"Enemy attack! Get rid of the nearby enemies!"
"No! Don't stop! Keep charging!"
...
The Death Eaters' team became more chaotic. The sudden attack of the soldier ants had a very significant effect. In this case, not only was the movement speed of the Death Eaters slowed down, but even the white light curtain above their heads, which they depended on for survival, gradually dimmed due to the loss of some magic power.
Seeing this, Franklin above the canyon also increased his firepower, especially those Muggle troops. Those machine gunners now completely ignored the problem of overheating of the barrels and poured down the metal storm desperately. For a while, the smell of gunpowder filled the air. The smell was so strong that it even affected the spells of the surrounding wizards!
But unfortunately, the majority of the Death Eaters still maintained their sanity. Under their desperate maintenance, the large-scale universal protection spell was already full of cracks, but it did not break!
"Looks like we need to add some more ingredients."
Mike on the cliff murmured, while raising his arm slightly, aiming the blackthorn wood in his hand at the light curtain below.
"Avada Kedavra!"
After a short period of accumulation, a thick green light with an infinitely strange aura shot out from the tip of his staff, leaving a dark green mark on everyone's retina, and directly hit the light curtain shield below the canyon.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound of shattering eggshells, the green light did not stop at all, and shot directly through the light curtain, leaving a large hole with a diameter of about 30 centimeters on it.
"Boom!"
Mike's killing curse did not cause any casualties to the Death Eaters, but fell on the ground and blew up a deep pit.
But this made the Death Eaters despair. They stared at the holes in the shield above their heads with dull eyes, and they knew in their hearts that they were finished!
The next moment, under the continuous attacks of the wizard and Muggle forces, dense cracks began to spread from the hole that Mike had shot. When the cracks covered the entire light curtain, there was a strange sound of glass breaking in the air. Then, the white light curtain that had protected the Death Eaters for a long time finally broke!
The shield fragments on it began to scatter and turned into stardust in the air and floated towards the Death Eaters. Dancing with them were endless spells and metal storms formed by bullets!
"Puff puff puff! ~"
A series of teeth-grinding muffled sounds came. At this time, the canyon had already become a meat grinder. The indiscriminate attacks of wizards and Muggles swept everything in the canyon into pieces of minced meat. Large clumps of smoke and dust slowly rose, gradually obscuring everyone's sight, but it didn't matter anymore. The Death Eaters were too densely positioned. Neither wizards nor Muggle firepower hands needed to aim carefully. It was enough to just tilt the firepower in the given direction with all their strength!
The horrific firepower bombing lasted for nearly thirty seconds. When the smoke gradually dissipated after the bombing stopped, everyone realized that the ground below was already scorched. The ground of the entire canyon had even sunk nearly one meter. A strong smell of burning mixed with gunpowder had already filled the entire canyon.
"Check the battlefield!"
With Mike's order, more soldier ants poured in from the entrance of the canyon, ignoring the terrifying residual heat on the battlefield, searching for possible survivors with their antennae.
"Puff!"
A soldier ant raised its spear and stabbed it into the ground fiercely. After a muffled groan, the tip of the spear was covered with blood when it was pulled out.
Such scenes were still being played out everywhere on the battlefield. These Death Eaters were indeed cunning. Many of them sneaked into the ground as soon as they found that the situation could not be saved. This was their common means of escape, and the success rate was very high, but it was not enough in front of ants, who were masters of digging pits.
While the ants were cleaning the battlefield, the wizards also took out water and food and began to rest. They would have a more tragic battle to participate in soon!
Half an hour later, a smaller milky white ant came to Mike's side, its mouth opening and closing as if it was talking. At the same time, a message from Lily came to Mike's mind.
'The battlefield has been cleaned.'
"Got it." Mike smiled and nodded, "Then let's start the second stage of the attack."
The milky white ant's antennae moved slightly, and it roared silently at the soldier ants below.
Then, the soldier ants who were still stabbing the ground with their spears on the battlefield seemed to have received some orders, and began to line up in an orderly manner and march towards the vanishing cabinet in the deepest part of the canyon.
These soldier ants are almost twice the size of humans. Fortunately, the vanishing cabinet is large enough to teleport almost two whole soldier ants at a time.
As more and more soldier ants poured into the Vanishing Cabinet, Mike smiled and picked up the Masonic gold coin and said slowly:
"Benjamin, you guys can start the action now."
"Understood! Boss!"
Benjamin, who was sitting in the Savage helicopter, said excitedly on an open space a few kilometers outside Malfoy Manor.
After that, he turned his head and looked at the pilot beside him and said:
"Okay, now start to move towards the predetermined target!"
"But..." The Savage helicopter pilot looked at the empty radar dial and asked in confusion, "There's nothing there."
The entire Malfoy Manor was attached with multiple protective spells such as the Muggle Repelling Charm and the Unplottable Charm. It would be strange if these Muggle instruments could find it!
Benjamin complained in his heart, but he smiled strangely and said to the pilot:
"Just fly in the direction of the coordinates I reported!"
"Okay... okay."
The pilot nodded helplessly and started the helicopter.
In a violent gust of wind and noise, five Savage helicopters painted with forest camouflage slowly took off and flew towards Malfoy Manor.
...
At the same time, Voldemort in Malfoy Manor was staring at the Vanishing Cabinet with Bellatrix, the Malfoy family and dozens of other Death Eaters.
At present, all the personnel who should be put into the Vanishing Cabinet have been put in. The remaining personnel in the hall are the support troops left by Voldemort, specially used to deal with various emergencies.
However, in the original plan, this so-called support force did not exist, but Voldemort's growing anxiety still made him alert, so Bellatrix and other Death Eater elites were left behind.
Voldemort believed that this Death Eater team composed entirely of elite members was enough to deal with everything in the world!
Mobile firefighting forces, frontal assault forces, sneak attack forces, plus Snape, the spy, worked together inside and outside, Voldemort couldn't think of how he would lose!
As for why he didn't take action, it was because of a simple reason-he wanted to get a complete Hogwarts.
To this day, he is still not sure whether Dumbledore still has the strength to fight. If he estimates wrongly, then the only result of his confrontation with Dumbledore is that the entire Hogwarts will be destroyed, which is what Voldemort does not want to see. He will need to use Hogwarts to spread his ideas and continue to obtain troops!
In the hall, a thick black gas is constantly emanating from Voldemort.
Voldemort rubbed his hands irritably. He couldn't figure it out. He had made all the necessary preparations, but the uneasiness in his heart couldn't be shaken off!
The black mist that kept coming out was a sign that the magic power in his body was dissipating. The reason for this was that after his servants entered the vanishing cabinet, his uneasiness became stronger and stronger! The strong anxiety brought by this feeling of uneasiness caused his ability to control magic to weaken, which caused the magic power to overflow.
This was not the first time this had happened, so the Death Eaters present all lowered their heads and remained silent, even Bellatrix was no exception.
They knew very well that Voldemort would not recognize his relatives in this state!
Gradually, the black air behind Voldemort became thicker and thicker, and his breathing began to become rapid. The anxiety in his chest was almost reaching its peak!
He suddenly pulled out his wand and pointed it at the vanishing cabinet. He had sensed that the strange feeling of uneasiness came from the vanishing cabinet!
At this moment, the vanishing cabinet placed in the center of the hall suddenly shook, and everyone present opened their eyes wide. They couldn't figure out who would use this thing at this time.
Isn't it courting death to run away from the battlefield?
But no matter what everyone present thought, the vanishing cabinet continued to shake!
Finally, the door of the vanishing cabinet finally opened, and two ugly black-brown ants holding spears and huge bodies crawled out of it, roaring and throwing the spears in their hands at the surrounding people!
Everyone present was frightened, only Bellatrix reacted the fastest, and set up a layer of shield in front of Draco to block a spear that was supposed to be shot at Draco's forehead.
As for the other one, it pierced straight into the chest of another unlucky guy!
"Despicable ambush!"
Voldemort roared and stood up from his chair. A ray of emerald green light flew from his hand, directly piercing the two ants and completely shattering their chests!
Voldemort now fully understood that his worries were completely correct. This was all a conspiracy from the beginning. Draco Malfoy, the moron, was just a bait that was used!
Voldemort glared at Draco, who looked dazed, and the latter immediately shuddered. Then he was firmly protected by Narcissa and Lucius.
Voldemort retracted his sight. He knew very well that the top priority now was to get rid of the intruder, not to find out the responsibility.
He roared and waved his wand continuously, and the killing curse flew towards the vanishing cabinet like raindrops.
The Death Eaters in the hall, who were originally in a mess, finally reacted after the initial chaos.
They launched an attack on the vanishing cabinet in anger. Under the joint attack of everyone, although the ant troops were still coming out of the vanishing cabinet, they were just delivering food. As soon as they showed their heads, they would be immediately blasted into sieves!
Bursts of wild laughter came from the Death Eaters. They were not stupid. Now they understood that they were tricked. But the enemy sent only a group of ants to attack them? Sending
such a vulnerable thing, did they look down on them?
On the other side, Narcissa and Lucius, who were still holding Draco, became full of determination.
Voldemort's look just now made them completely understand that their family had caused Voldemort such a great loss. After this incident, they might not be able to escape death!
Narcissa and Lucius looked at each other, and then they took Draco's hand and ran towards their bedroom. There was a secret passage that even Voldemort didn't know about. Through it, they could escape from the manor!
No one noticed the little movements of the three of them. Voldemort was frantically attacking the Vanishing Cabinet at this moment, but unlike his men who laughed wildly, he did not feel relaxed at all. On the contrary, his nerves were even more tense.
Because the uneasiness lingering in his heart did not disappear, but became more intense!
Gritting his teeth, Voldemort stopped attacking the Vanishing Cabinet and began to use his mental power to try to capture the source of this uneasiness. This was the top priority now!
The mental power of a wizard like Voldemort had long been so great that he could almost sense danger. Such a wizard could not be killed by sneak attacks alone, even if you used an anti-material sniper cannon to snipe from a thousand meters away, because he could sense your malice towards him the moment you locked your crosshairs on him!
Unfortunately, neither Mike nor Benjamin attacked Voldemort himself. Their target was Voldemort's Death Eaters from the beginning.
In this case, Voldemort's foresight was weakened to the extreme.
But Mike still underestimated Voldemort. Just after Voldemort closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the top of his head with surprise.
