Chapter 616 French Tradition
With a bright flash of magic, Mike and his team, as well as tens of thousands of Aurors (Los Santos wizards), appeared directly in a subway station underground in Paris.
The whole process was smooth and uninterrupted, and there was no interference or bumps during the transmission.
This is basically impossible to do in other countries with a Ministry of Magic. After all, no one wants people to be able to enter and exit their chassis at will, so most Ministries of Magic will deploy a large number of space interference devices in their own territories to prevent people from sneaking in through portkeys or Apparition.
But France is different.
Stowaways may be considered a pest that affects stability and public security in other countries, but France doesn't care.
You know, an open and diversified tourist country is the definition of the French Ministry of Magic. As a country that mainly makes a living by providing luxury services, as long as you have money, it doesn't care whether you are a stowaway or not. Therefore, although there are space interference devices in France, they are basically just decorations.
The benefit of this is that France instantly became a refuge for all the wealthy criminals in the world. Many wealthy criminals who committed economic crimes or bribery in other countries like to sneak into France and continue to live a luxurious life here without worrying about being caught.
But while enjoying the benefits, France has also lost its defense capabilities to a certain extent, allowing people like Mike to bring people in directly.
At this time, in the subway station, the sudden appearance of more than 10,000 people by Mike also caused a sensation. Most of the passengers who had gathered here screamed and ran away, and only a few fearless guys were still taking pictures with their mobile phones. Mike
was not polite about this, and they fainted and lost consciousness.
Then Mike and Arthur and other commanders took the troops who had already counted the number of people and divided them into three teams to rush to the French Ministry of Magic.
This was the tactic they had designated earlier, to go straight to the enemy headquarters and defeat the opponent with a blitzkrieg.
This is the best way to deal with it at present. Otherwise, if we continue to stalemate with the enemies, there will be no need to fight this war at all. The enemy can use economic sanctions and occasional military intimidation to drag down the Ministry of Magic of the United Kingdom.
The entrance to the headquarters of the French Ministry of Magic is located in the center of Furstenberg Square. Normally, when there are visitors, the roots of the trees around the fountain will rise from the ground, forming a birdcage elevator around the visitors, leading to the underground headquarters of the Ministry of Magic.
Mike's action this time was too big, and it obviously made the French Ministry of Magic aware of the abnormality, so when they gathered at Furstenberg Square again, the elevator did not appear as usual.
But this did not bother Mike. He just smiled grimly, looked at the fountain without turning his head and said:
"Break through by force!"
The Aurors who received the order dispersed and formed a huge circle with the fountain as the center.
Then, everyone raised their wands and aimed at the fountain.
"Slide appears!"
Countless magical lights lit up from the Aurors' wands, and the fountain in the center of the light and the ground below it disappeared instantly, replaced by a huge circular hole with a diameter of more than ten meters. The surface of the hole was extremely smooth, just like a slide.
Mike also knew the spell of slide. This was not a standard spell taught at Hogwarts, but a complex spell improved from the slide.
The former was to turn the stairs into a slide, and its improved version strengthened this effect, turning it into a super-powerful hole-drilling technique.
It was not easy for more than 10,000 Aurors to know this spell and cooperate with each other to increase its power to this extent.
Mike nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to make them dig holes.
"Slide appears!"
"Slide appears!"
...
Five minutes later, a huge slide with a bottomless depth appeared in front of everyone.
Arthur and his elite troops did not hesitate at all and jumped in directly, followed by Benjamin's troops and Mike's headquarters.
When Arthur's elite troops arrived at the French Ministry of Magic Hall first, they almost didn't hesitate and directly put up a layer of golden shield.
This was their instinctive reaction. After all, according to normal reasoning, the enemy would definitely ambush at the entrance of the cave to catch them off guard.
However, the French Ministry of Magic was not a normal person.
After Arthur's troops put up the shield, they were surprised to find that the intensive attack they expected did not appear. Although a large number of French Aurors gathered in the French Ministry of Magic Hall at this moment, these guys were holding their wands and looking at them in surprise, as if they had not reacted yet.
Arthur's troops didn't care so much, and still advanced forward with the shield raised according to the original plan, and also made room for Benjamin and Mike's troops who were about to arrive.
But Benjamin and Mike were not so polite. As soon as they landed, countless killing curses with dark green light swayed from behind the golden shield and directly smashed into the still sluggish French Auror team in front.
For a moment, screams, wails, and the sound of falling bodies resounded throughout the entire hall of the Ministry of Magic. It was not
until this time that the French Aurors reacted and began to organize a counterattack.
But their formation had been disrupted. Although their commander looked hysterical, most of the Aurors did not listen to him at all, and just ran into the Ministry of Magic.
As for the remaining organized Aurors, the power of the spells they released was also pitifully small. Those dim spells hit the shields of all plus without even a ripple.
Mike's mouth curled up a cruel smile. Although the opponent's fighting power was weaker than he imagined, Mike would still not show mercy.
You know, there is not much time left for them now. The most important thing at this moment is to capture the French Ministry of Magic in the shortest time.
So, under Mike's roar, the black-clad Aurors of the Ying Kingdom stepped on the arrogant steps and pressed forward with amazing momentum.
Seeing this, the French Aurors who were barely organized no longer cared about the commander's orders, and followed their colleagues' example and fled directly.
Now, the front of Mike's army became empty in an instant, and only the commander was left standing there with a dazed look on his face.
After being stunned for a while, the commander seemed to react.
He gritted his teeth and charged at the black army in front of him with a ferocious face.
However, at this moment, a green light flashed and hit his chest directly.
"Plop!"
The commander's body fell, but the black army did not continue to advance.
There is no mercy on the battlefield. Although the commander is very brave, Mike will not show mercy.
Just as Mike's team was about to bypass the commander's body and enter the French Ministry of Magic, a chubby middle-aged man came out of the magic elevator inside.
The man was about 40 or 50 years old. At this moment, his head and face were full of sweat. In his hand, he was holding a flag made of white cloth and short wooden sticks.
At this moment, he was running towards Mike with the flag, panting.
The Aurors of Yingguo who were walking in the front of the team raised their hands to launch an attack, but were stopped by Mike.
Because Mike recognized the other party's identity-the Minister of the French Ministry of Magic.
At this time, the middle-aged fat man on the opposite side also noticed the actions of the Aurors of Yingguo. His fat body trembled, and he quickly raised the white flag in his hand and shouted:
"Don't kill me! We surrender!"
Hearing this, Benjamin, Arthur and others looked at each other, and everyone was confused.
Mike was also a little amused, but he didn't feel too surprised. After all, France, it's an old tradition.
Things became much simpler afterwards. Although the French Minister of Magic came to surrender, Mike still had someone reward him with a blow to disarm him. After confirming that the other party was indeed no longer a threat, he began to lead everyone to continue advancing.
Until this time, they still maintained the highest alert. After all, there were so many people in the entire French Ministry of Magic. It is impossible that all of them were spineless. It is inevitable that some people would want to sacrifice their lives for the country.
But Mike found that he still overestimated this group of French wizards.
Because until they imprisoned all the French wizards and occupied the entire French Ministry of Magic, no one jumped out to resist.
The French wizards were so cooperative that some of them even helped Mike and his friends to deal with their own compatriots. This opened Benjamin and his friends' eyes.
"If we resist, we still have some chance, right? But you... you French wizards are really... really..."
Arthur was talking for a long time but couldn't think of any adjectives to describe this group of French wizards. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.
He also investigated the situation of the French wizards and knew that due to various reasons such as the environment and personality, the fighting power of wizards here was generally weak, but he still didn't expect these guys to be so weak that they even lost the courage to resist.
Upon hearing this, the French Minister of Magic could only smile awkwardly.
But in his heart, he had already cursed.
"Resist? A legendary wizard with 10,000 Aurors directly attacked the Ministry of Magic. How can you let us resist?" '
No one cared about the French Minister of Magic's thoughts. After occupying the French Ministry of Magic, Mike directly used this place as a node to transport a large number of troops here. At the same time, he also announced to the French Ministry of Magic agencies stationed in various cities in France that they had been defeated and had to surrender.
These small agencies were not very happy at first, and some of them even linked together in an attempt to save the world.
But when Mike's army arrived, they surrendered obediently just like those guys in the magic headquarters.
So far, after spending a whole night, the entire French magic world has been taken into Mike's pocket.
Excluding those French combat wizards who died on the spot and ordinary wizards who were judged to be no threat, Mike got a total of 50,000 prisoners this time.
For these guys, Mike did not mean to kill them, but broke their wands and imprisoned them all in the lowest few floors of the French Ministry of Magic.
Just as Voldemort said in the original book when he persuaded Hogwarts to surrender, every drop of magic blood is precious. There are already very few wizards in this world. If Mike kills prisoners in large numbers, it will not be a good thing for the entire wizard community.
In fact, the concept of not killing in large numbers is basically an unspoken rule among countries. The reason why Voldemort and Grindelwald caused such a great degree of panic was largely because they did not abide by this rule.
The French wizards obviously knew this unspoken rule, so they surrendered so neatly.
Anyway, you won't die if you surrender, so why fight to the death?
This is the real thought of the French wizards.
And just an hour after France was completely captured, a large number of owls also brought the new day's Daily Prophet to fly into every wizard's home.
This time, the Daily Prophet is still a rare color version. The wizards in the magic world of Yingguo seem to have gotten used to it, so they are not too surprised.
But when they opened the newspaper and saw the top report, they were stunned.
Because the news published above was that the Ministry of Magic of Yingguo had occupied the entire French magic world.
At the end of the report, there was also a magical photo of the French Minister of Magic signing a surrender document.
As a result, the entire Yingguo magic world was in an uproar this morning.
Wizards took to the streets one after another, shouting excitedly.
In the barbecue restaurant on Diagon Alley, a young man wearing a chef's hat excitedly pushed open the door and excitedly announced to the crowd on the street that today's full venue was free.
In the hall of Hogwarts, countless little wizards roared and climbed onto the table to vent their excitement!
In the Ministry of Magic of Yingguo...
in Hogsmeade Village...
...
Everyone! They are crazy!
They have been longing for this victory for too long. In the past few decades, they have been immersed in the shadows brought to them by two generations of Dark Lords.
Especially during the second generation of Dark Lord, Voldemort almost beat the entire Yingguo magic world into a mud pit.
And now, they have finally stood up!
When they meet foreign wizards in the future, they can finally hold their chests high with pride.
Yes, there are indeed such people in the magic world of Ying Country. They have no hope for this country, and the first thing they think of is to escape once something happens.
But there are still more people with passion.
Before, they were suppressed by endless shame and could only remain silent.
Now, Mike gave them a chance, a chance to be completely released!
And they naturally would not disappoint Mike, the minister who gave them hope!
