Chapter 656 The war begins! Shidun is dispatched!

Beam after beam of light shot into the sky from all parts of the castle accompanied by clear spells.

Those beams of light suddenly spread as they passed over the astronomical tower at the highest point of the castle, and condensed with other identical spells into a film of light that enveloped the entire castle.

Below, Professor McGonagall walked to the carriage aisle in front of the stone steps.

Turning to face the castle, he raised his hands, holding the wand in his dominant right hand, like a conductor at a grand concert.

Professor McGonagall took a gentle breath, and suddenly, Professor McGonagall waved her wand vigorously, and a loud spell came out of her mouth.

"Shidun... dispatch!"

The heart-stirring scene in the movie was actually staged. The often-ignored bluestone pillar sword sculptures on the edge of the castle wall jumped down from their original positions, making a dull 'thunk' sound. The castle was occasionally occupied by Peeves. The iron armors used for pranks were also awakened by the sound of the spell, and they lined up neatly. Led by the armors holding iron swords in both hands, they appeared from various corridors.

There was a crashing sound in the castle.

The students who were evacuating one after another naturally noticed this scene, and they realized that these armors and sculptures were far more than just decorations, but guards who could protect them when necessary.

Professor McGonagall put down her palms and waited solemnly for the statues and armored guards to line up neatly from the open oak door.

"Hogwarts is facing a threat!" Professor McGonagall shouted like a general, "Guard the borders, defend us, and do your duty to the school!"

"Boom!" The statues and guards stamped their feet in unison, their armors clanging, and the sword-wielding guards in front of the queue raised their arms. These lifeless guards strictly obeyed the orders and walked towards each entrance of the campus with firm steps.

It can be expected that when the enemy breaks into this place, they will be beaten hard by the defenders.

These defenders, fearless of the Killing Curse, will be one of Hogwarts' most reliable defense forces.

After Professor McGonagall finished everything, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at Suhr.

"I've wanted to try this for a long time."

Suer's task is to guard the most dangerous main entrance of the campus together with others. He will face the first wave of attacks from a tidal wave of enemies and is the front line among the front lines.

This layer of barrier that firmly protected the castle naturally fell into the eyes of Voldemort in the distance.

then---

"Very good." A cold and angry voice enveloped the entire castle, "It seems that you have decided to disobey me."

"It hurts me so much and I'm disappointed."

"Similarly, I also appreciate that you still have that unnecessary courage after losing Dumbledore, so I decided to give you a chance to see how the great Dark Lord became invincible. "

"Of course, I will not step into the castle because the opportunity given to you has not passed yet. I am benevolent and do not want to see the future of the magical world lost here, but I hope you know that my patience is limited."

"When I set foot on this castle, anyone who dares to resist will die!"

The cold voice gradually dissipated. At the same time, the dark clouds covering Hogsmeade began to waver, and dense figures appeared at the main entrance of the campus. They all raised their wands.

Bundles of magic spells were like green meteors, dragging their long tails and slamming into the light curtain.

The strong magic fluctuations brought loud noises, the translucent dome shone with light, and the bunches of magic spells were like boulders thrown into the black lake, causing waves in an instant.

But fortunately, the protective power of the dome light curtain also gathered the effective forces in the castle.

After all, the green light failed to penetrate this seemingly weak barrier and faded away.

Behind the dozens of men in black robes, werewolves, vampires, giants with giant clubs and many other dark creatures appeared, as well as a huge number of Inferi. This morning, Voldemort said he was giving Hogwarts time, and so was the Give yourself time to rally your troops.

Obviously, while the people of Hogwarts were strengthening their defenses, Voldemort was not idle either.

However, these dark creatures were blocked by the thin light curtain.

The giant swung his giant stick and hit the light screen, and together with the white nails of the Inferi, they scratched out ripples on the light screen. The mouths that opened and closed unconsciously looked like zombies.

Since it was daytime, the werewolf legions were unable to transform, so they had to stand with the Death Eaters and wave their wands. However, compared to their powerful physical abilities after transformation, their magic seemed to be uneven.

The people in charge of the frontal battlefield stood in front of the castle with solemn expressions, holding their wands tightly, the tip of the wand shining with light.

The reason why the magic shield can stand up to such a large group of enemies is because people continue to replenish their magic power.

But there is no shield in the world that cannot be broken. It can last for such a long time only because the spear attacking the shield is not sharp enough.

Fortunately, as people continued to join in to help maintain the defensive spell, the dome temporarily withstood the pressure.

But the biggest trouble doesn't stop there.

"Dementors!"

Someone screamed. He didn't need to remind him. Everyone saw it. The gray mist was the basis for the Dementors to appear here during the day.

As we all know, the only thing that can resist dementors is the patron saint. Although the defense of the light curtain can withstand the incoming curse, for the special nature of the dementors, the light curtain is useless.

"Quickly, summon the patron saint!"

The people of the Order of the Phoenix quickly cut off the magic supply of the light curtain.

"Calling the gods to protect you!" The curses kept coming and going.

Cats, wolves, badgers, owls, ferrets, eagles, deer, the ground is filled with dazzling silver mist, and all kinds of animals emerge from it, rushing straight towards the overwhelming dementors that seem to be unimpeded and break through the film. .

Most of the remaining students had learned the Patronus. For a time, the speed of the heavy gray cloud was stopped.

However, the Death Eaters would not miss this opportunity.

Another spell was poured onto the light curtain on the dome. The bright light curtain quickly dimmed and was about to shatter.

A dense beam of light suddenly shot into the sky, and the dome light curtain that received the magic power stabilized instantly.

"we are coming."

Graduated students suddenly appeared at the gate of the castle, about twenty of them, led by Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff.

"Time is running out and we can't call more people," he said.

"But there are still people coming."

There was no time for small talk, and Professor McGonagall quickly directed them to join the battlefield. The addition of this unexpected new force greatly relieved everyone's pressure, and they could relax a little.

However, can they really relax?

Sur looked towards a hillside outside the castle. There was a figure standing there with a distinctive head like a braised egg, making it easy for people to identify his identity.

Another man in black robes was leaning over to say something to him.

From what I could see, Voldemort seemed very angry.
