Chapter 98 The Alchemy Dummy Emitting Green Light (Page 12)
Babajide didn't know whether the "alchemy dummy" in front of him had a brain, but he immediately knew that this guy had other accomplices.
Just when Horace and several young old wizards came to him and were about to check the brains of these intruders, two muffled sounds of "Boom" and "Boom" suddenly came from outside the country manor. .
"This is……"
Professor Hicks, a well-informed professor from the United States, immediately realized that something was wrong. The dark-skinned old witch first opened her eyes wide in surprise, and then immediately spoke loudly at a speed that could "bang her head" with a rapper. A reminder was sent to everyone.
"...There's a fire in the cave!"
However, it was not the companions in the bush maze that she should remind, but the older ladies and old men who were still in the house.
Accompanied by a slight scream, two mortar shells flew out of the muzzle, crossing two parabolas and falling accurately towards the Lemay family's country house.
These two mortars are both 2-inch-caliber "small smashing cannons" that were completely eliminated by the British army a few years ago.
However, as a weapon that has been installed since before World War II and can still be seen in some areas until the 21st century, the reliability of this weapon and equipment is still very strong. What is worth writing about is that in the weapon In terms of lubrication, British mortarmen have always had an excellent tradition.
The shells they fire are "two-pound shells" that are a little over 1 kilogram. They are definitely not good enough to deal with concrete-reinforced facilities. But they are a bit too much to use to bomb the traditional thatched-roof houses in Devon. .
What's more, this small cannon is very easy to operate, and a skilled gunner can fire up to seventeen or eight rounds per minute. Even if you are a novice, it is not difficult to fire eleven or two shells per minute with a little practice.
The two gunners operating the two-inch cannon fired all the dozen or so shells they carried in less than half a minute after firing.
In other words, within ten seconds, Lemay's country house was hit by mortar shells with a total weight of nearly 30 pounds.
These shells are also high-explosive shells.
Even if they are relatively outdated, after hitting a house, they still show the same effect as the "Thunderbolt Explosion Curse".
In short, the house collapsed.
The young and old wizards in the bush maze were all shocked. Merlin not only lost a lot of beard, but also had several pairs of messy underwear.
However, after all, they are some old men and women who have seen strong winds and waves. There was no need to discuss at all, they immediately responded relatively correctly.
They took the initiative to divide into three groups.
Two old wizards who seemed to be twins used their wands to conjure a heavy iron chain, tied up several knocked down intruders on the ground, and took the initiative to take on the task of guarding these guys.
Some of them are represented by Babajide and Professor Hicks, who both served as Aurors when they were young, or participated in the battle against the Saints of Grindelwald.
"The birds are heavy!"
Professor Hicks recited a spell, and a swarm of doves flew out of her wand.
Not only that, her magic book, which was tied with a mithril chain like a bag and slung around her waist, also floated and opened automatically without any wind.
As the pages of the book turned "swish", some spells written in advance in ancient magic script also flew out of the book in a flash.
They found the pigeons.
As if a replication spell had been cast, the number of pigeons in the group doubled several times in an instant.
The pigeons whistled and flew toward a headland near the sea to the west.
This is where the mortars were fired just now. Even if these old wizards don't know much about Muggle combat, they are familiar with the strategy of "offense is the best defense".
There were three people on the promontory, and unlike the guys who invaded from the main entrance, there was also a wizard among these people who was on guard with a wand.
When the pigeons flew over, the wizard with the magic wand directly used the "blazing flame" to turn a group of pigeons into roasted pigeons. The two men who had just finished shooting the mortar also took out their submachine guns for self-defense and pointed them at The pigeons that slipped through the net kept firing.
"These pigeons must be killed!"
The wizard with the wand said the right thing. It's a pity that he only had time to say the right thing.
In the wizard's battle mode, the spell "birds of weight" has always been just a cover-up. When an experienced wizard uses this spell, he will definitely cooperate with a sneak attack without witchcraft ethics.
"Fainted!" x2
Professor Hicks and a wizard suddenly appeared and cast spells on the two guys with submachine guns from behind.
At the same time, a pigeon that slipped through the net instantly transformed into a huge African elephant. It hit the ground from a height of more than two meters and "rubbed" the wizard's wand with its hooves. arm.
The moment he landed, Babajid released the Animagus and returned to his human form.
"Collapse!"
He also added a spell.
Although the old man has a hot temper, it does not mean that he has no emotional intelligence. The most important thing when doing activities with his companions is to be gregarious.
Babajid nodded to his two old friends and said, "Take these people back and all the things they brought."
He emphasized "all."
Because of the excellent matching mechanism in the Afika region, Babajide is no stranger to Muggle gadgets such as long guns and short cannons.
But when he raided the headland position, he discovered that the invaders not only carried guns and mortars, but also brought some other things.
For example, the periscope-like bubble level optical sight; another example, the contour military map that most Muggles cannot understand, and the firepower extension gun table adapted to the two mortars...
This showed that these people were not the low-level armed thugs he had seen in the Afika area who could only raise the "Muggle wand" above their heads and shoot casually.
Those who know how to fuck are most likely professionals.
And an attack involving professionals against a well-known alchemist in the magic world - especially Nick Flamel, a Frenchman who was carefully hiding in Devon, England during this period - is hard not to let go. It reminds me of some conspiracy.
However, because they had to carry the three unconscious prisoners, they couldn't use apparation. In the end, Professor Hicks could only use the levitation spell to follow the captives. Babajide and another old wizard rushed to Old Flamel's house first to see what was going on.
"The situation is not good."
Looking at the LeMay mansion that had been blown into ruins, Horace felt a thump in his heart. The old man was a little worried about his grandson.
Even if he knew it well, the old men and women in this house should actually be able to handle a crisis of that magnitude just now.
"Defodio!"
