Let's go back a few minutes ago. After Bella and a group of Death Eaters came to this remote village, Kings, who was waiting for news in the Ministry of Magic, received a message from Tonks.
"Death Eaters have shown up. There are more than fifty of them."
Kingsley immediately reported the news to Scrimgeour. Although Kingsley had expected the Death Eaters to take action tonight when that group of dark wizards were making trouble all over Britain and trying to distract the Ministry of Magic, he was still relieved after receiving the news. It meant that Albert's prediction was still as accurate as ever, which was very important.
This news was undoubtedly good news for Scrimgeour, who had been waiting patiently for a whole night. The Aurors, who had been talking in low voices, took the vitality tonics prepared in advance and took them. After eliminating the fatigue of waiting for a whole night, they came to the fireplace in an orderly manner and used Floo powder to go to the temporary base in the village.
As for direct Apparition, it would easily attract the attention of the Death Eaters, which would be detrimental to their subsequent plans.
"We have fewer people than them, but don't worry!" Scrimgeour said to the Aurors in the living room as he listened to the sharp noises coming from the sky above the village. "Next, we will cooperate with the Order of the Phoenix to launch a surprise attack on the Death Eaters according to the plan. I don't want any casualties to occur when we have the upper hand."
After saying that, he nodded towards Kings.
Kingslai took out a two-way mirror from his pocket and contacted Sirius. More than twenty of the Ministry's most elite Aurors used Disillusionment Charm on themselves and prepared to go out and clear out the wizards in Knockturn Alley who were on guard outside.
"These guys are all villains hired by the Death Eaters with Galleons. Many of them have become minions attached to the You-Know-Who, so there is no need to show mercy to them."
Half a minute later, Kings came with a crisis response team and quietly left the safe house with the help of the Aurors. Scrimgeour followed closely with another team. They would cover the Aurors in the first round of sneak attacks on the Death Eaters and create advantages for the next action.
"Don't be polite to them."
Scrimgeour raised his wand and shot fireballs at the dark wizards near "Albert's House".
The members of the crisis response team also raised their wands and shot fireballs at the target as they had received training. Perhaps they had no experience in directly fighting dark wizards, but that did not mean they were useless. Projecting firepower and disrupting the enemy was undoubtedly the best option.
Fireballs streaked across the sky and flew towards "Albert's House". Their goal was not to blow up the house, but to target the dark wizards who were on guard around the house.
Boom boom boom!
The successive explosions tore through the quiet night and frightened the wizards involved in the action.
However, this round of sneak attacks was very loud, but the effect was surprisingly average. Although the dark wizards who were indiscriminately bombarded fell into brief chaos, they did not achieve any outstanding results.
The only purpose is probably to alert the enemy, attract the attention of those dark wizards, and create opportunities for the Aurors to launch a surprise attack.
The effect was quite good. There were quite a few guys on the periphery who were attracted by the explosion and were soon attacked by the Aurors and the Order of the Phoenix and were knocked to the ground one after another.
When everyone was preparing to make further efforts, the roof of "Albert's House" was suddenly blown off by something. With the help of the surrounding street lights, they vaguely saw a whirlwind of black flames.
"What a bunch of lunatics!" Kingslai muttered as he looked at the raging devil's flames.
The devil's flame is very difficult to control. He doesn't think there are many Death Eaters who can handle it. These guys actually dare to use this dangerous magic unscrupulously. Aren't they afraid of accidentally burning everyone to death
"They are just a bunch of lunatics," Scrimgeour sneered.
Fortunately, the residents of the village were evacuated in advance, otherwise if the devil's fire spread, we wouldn't know what to do!
"Concentrate your firepower and take that house first." Scrimgeour immediately changed his target.
"this… "
Kings felt a little uncomfortable facing Scrimgeour's brutal order, but he did not refuse. This was undoubtedly a good idea. As long as the devil's flames got out of control, the first to suffer would be the group of Death Eaters around the house. By then, they might be able to save a lot of trouble, or at least significantly reduce casualties.
As for the devil's fire getting out of control, Scrimgeour was not worried. The Ministry of Magic was already very experienced in how to extinguish the devil's fire, and the members of the Order of the Phoenix would definitely be able to extinguish it completely in a short period of time.
As for those unlucky people who were accidentally burned to death by the out-of-control devil's flames, it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Magic.
Facts have proved that the probability of a spell hitting a house is much higher than hitting a person. The house that was bombarded by three waves of projections was directly blown into the sky, and the flames were burning fiercely. The Death Eaters who were shooting magic at the Aurors around were directly knocked to the ground by the aftermath of the explosion, making most of the rebels lose their combat effectiveness.
"You can mitigate your crime by dropping your wand and lying on the ground in surrender." Scrimgeour pointed his wand at his throat and shouted at the villain in front of him.
Of course, he didn't expect the Death Eaters to surrender, but the villains from Knockturn Alley who were tempted by money would definitely be shaken after hearing it. Whether they surrendered or not, it would be beneficial to the subsequent situation.
"Follow us, it's our turn, use your best spell to take them down."
Kingslai entered with members of the crisis response team. As long as they participated a few more times, even if they were not as experienced as Aurors, they could be considered experienced fighters.
“Damn it!”
Rodolphus, who was affected by the aftermath of the explosion, got up from the ground in a panic. He shook his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up.
When he came back to his senses from the explosion, he saw the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic rushing out from all directions, and the villains being knocked down by the flying spells. Rodolphus' heart turned cold, and he knew that he had been ambushed by the Ministry of Magic again.
From beginning to end, it was just a trap, a damn trap.
However, even if they were mentally prepared to be attacked and had a backup plan in advance, it would still be meaningless.
No, it's really a joke.
"Damn Mudbloods, damn the Ministry!"
Rodolphus felt like he had become a laughing stock. Rage filled his heart, and he struggled to stand up and shouted to the remaining people, "Don't be afraid. They are just a bunch of rubbish who can't even use a curse properly."
He bravely led the counterattack and used dark magic to easily knock down a wizard who tried to curse him, thus regaining morale.
Rodolphus's actions successfully boosted the confidence of others, making them believe that the Ministry of Magic was vulnerable.
However, Rodolphus, dressed as a Death Eater, soon became the target of the Aurors' concentrated fire. Facing such a vicious Death Eater, the Aurors would show no mercy at all.
As a result, Rodolphus, who didn't have the chance to act rampant for too long, was hit by several spells. He was thrown out and fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.
The originally high momentum suddenly stagnated. Seeing that the situation was not good, Rabastan Lestrange planned to take the opportunity to escape, but his luck was not very good. Of course, it might also be that he wanted to leave with his brother Rodolphus Lestrange, whose life or death was unknown. As a result, he was knocked to the ground by a sudden spell and lost his only chance to escape.
Not only the Strange brothers, but other guys dressed as Death Eaters received special attention.
However, the situation remains grim.
Although the Ministry of Magic had the advantage of the initiative and sneak attack, the battle was still very brutal. The main reason was that the villains were fighting hard.
It is very likely that the Ministry of Magic has strict sentencing for captured dark wizards. After all, in the past two months, someone has been sentenced to death every day. As a result, even if surrendering voluntarily can reduce the crime, no one dares to surrender voluntarily, and no one dares to joke with their own life.
"You all deserve to die, you all deserve to die!"
Bella crawled out of the bombed house with severe burns all over her body. Her eyes were burning with anger as she roared at the Minister of Magic who set the trap.
Bella never expected that even if they had made sufficient preparations, they were still not as well prepared as the Aurors. These insidious guys tried to use traps to deal with them.
"Go to hell!"
As Bella struggled to stand up, she used Avada Kedavra to kill a young member of the crisis response team who was trying to take advantage of the situation.
"Rubbish." Bella laughed crazily, not even looking at her husband who was lying ten feet away, his life or death unknown. Instead, she waved her wand unsteadily, trying to kill more Ministry of Magic Aurors.
However, Bella could not remain rampant for long. Her actions soon angered the Aurors. Several deadly black magics flew directly towards Bella, ready to send this crazy woman to apologize to the young man who had just died.
Bella rolled to one side in a panic, but more spells followed. When she was about to be killed, a large area of ruins of a house blocked the Aurors' magic for Bella.
"My dear cousin, how come you didn't die in the explosion?" Sirius looked at the woman in front of him who was severely burned and almost disfigured, and waved his wand to try to knock her down.
"You guys think..."
The expression on Bella's face froze, and a spell hit her chest, knocking her away.
However, she was pulled back by a force, it was Alecto Carlo.
This vicious female Death Eater was luckier than most people who entered the room. When the Aurors completely blew up the house, she used a defensive shield to protect herself, which allowed her to appear here safely.
"We have to get out of here immediately."
Alecto Carrow reached out and grabbed the struggling Bella, while waving his wand, he reignited the devil's fire that had been suppressed by the Ministry of Magic, letting the black flames rush towards the crisis response team to delay time, and with the help of the portkey that had been prepared long ago, he disappeared from the ruins.
"Damn it, it's a Portkey."
Scrimgeour looked very unhappy. Even though he had taken the initiative through sneak attack, some of those guys still escaped.
"Kings, come and send the injured to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. Dawlish, finish off those guys and make sure they are completely unconscious. Arrange a search to prevent them from escaping with the help of the portkeys. Also, determine the number of Death Eaters we have knocked down." Scrimgeour continued to make arrangements for the aftermath. "Others, follow me to put out the devil's flames."
Perhaps because the Ministry of Magic often executed dark wizards, the remaining villains resisted extremely fiercely, resulting in many wizards participating in the battle being injured.
However, what made Scrimgeour happy was that this operation was not in vain. They not only successfully killed three Death Eaters, but also arrested a large number of dark wizards.
No matter how you look at it, it was a successful ambush and a great victory.
After all, the number of Death Eaters was not large, only about forty or fifty at most. After two rounds of major reductions, the number of Death Eaters had been reduced by a quarter.
"Also, notify the people from the Ministry of Magic to come and clean up the mess, and inform Percy to prepare for a press conference. We should share this good news with everyone." Scrimgeour was in a good mood. Looking at the dying Strange brothers, he raised his wand, and an ominous green light lit up in the darkest moment before dawn.
As per past practice, Scrimgeour executed the most vicious Death Eaters on the spot.
"What a ruthless man." Sirius was really curious about what Albert and Scrimgeour were like.
"These times require tough people like Scrimgeour."
"What a pity that crazy woman Bella escaped." Sirius muttered, "Otherwise, the whole family could have gone away in one piece."
