Chapter 369: The Niffler and the Imperius Curse
December 1997, 9.
This is a day that will be forever remembered in history.
In the sky, the US military fighter jets were like dark clouds, and the roar was deafening.
Thirty thousand fighter jets and carrier-based aircraft, divided into thirty echelons, launched non-stop air strikes on Shadow's base.
The whole of Afghanistan was shaking under this force, and the ground became devastated.
The air was filled with smoke and flames, as if the end of the world had come.
Millions of American troops were mobilized in full force, like a steel torrent, and attacked the Shadow Base in three routes to encircle it.
Three thousand overclocked electromagnetic wave carriers, like fortresses, were evenly dispersed in the team and moved slowly.
The ground was deeply impressed, showing its heaviness.
On the battlefield, artillery fire roared and the sky was streaked with white lines from the contrails of fighter jets.
On the ground, tanks and armored vehicles kicked up clouds of dust.
The Shadow Warriors listened to the rumbling sound coming from the ground in the air-raid shelter.
They were calmly organizing their equipment.
This kind of air raid is commonplace for them, but today's scale is just a little bigger.
Hermione stood in the command center, observing the developments on the battlefield through the monitoring screen.
Following Hermione's order, the shadow warriors acted quickly.
They were divided into several teams and took advantage of the complex terrain of the underground tunnels. They suddenly emerged from different corners of the battlefield and attacked the US military's overclocked electromagnetic wave carriers.
On the battlefield, the light of magic and the smoke of artillery fire are intertwined.
Frost covered the earth, flames burned everything, and lightning and thunder cut through the night sky continuously.
However, the American soldiers were well prepared.
Although they could not avoid these magical damages, they relied on their numerical advantage and adopted a tenacious tactic.
Whenever a teammate receives magic damage, the surrounding teammates will immediately step forward to fill in the position, using dense firepower to form a firepower network that suppresses the wizards and makes it impossible for them to make the final move.
Although this tactic was a bit shameless, it effectively reduced casualties.
The witch warriors were not surprised by this.
In many recent small-scale battles with the US military, the enemy has adopted this tactic.
And they are not the main force to destroy the transport vehicles.
Suddenly, a magical creature covered with black fur, with a long nose, the size of a mouse and very much like a mole, jumped out from the body of each witch warrior.
It's the Sniff.
These Nifflers are a special force specially trained by the Shadows to destroy transport vehicles.
They have been carefully trained by Hagrid and are now fully capable of following orders.
The Nifflers were like black lightning, quickly shuttling across the battlefield.
Relying on their small and flexible bodies, they shuttled freely in the firepower network of US soldiers and quickly approached the overclocked electromagnetic wave carrier.
After reaching the bottom of the transport vehicle, they took out a disc-shaped metal object from a space bag in their abdomen.
It stuck tightly to the bottom of the car, and then wisps of white smoke came out.
That is the latest electromagnetic jammer developed by District 13.
It can destroy the overclocked electromagnetic wave equipment on the carrier vehicle by overloading the power.
At this moment, one truck after another was suddenly enveloped by lightning.
The internal overclocked electromagnetic wave equipment began to emit white smoke, the warning lights began to flash wildly, and eventually stopped working.
After completing the task, the Sniffs quickly returned to the corresponding witch warriors.
The wizard warriors carrying the Niffler tacitly hid in the underground cave again and used Apparition to send the Niffler back.
These Nifflers are now more precious than humans, and no mistakes can be made.
As transport vehicles were continuously destroyed on the battlefield.
Wu Zhan regained the right to use magic.
Hermione's orders were transmitted to every shadow soldier through the magic communicator.
"It's time to let them see our true power!"
"attack!"
The Muggle soldiers in the shadows also came out in droves.
They drove various military equipment and started a bombardment with the US army.
The wizards began to use the power of Apparition to move freely on the battlefield.
The wands in their hands kept waving.
They accurately sent magic grenades into the gun barrels of American tanks.
Just listen to a loud "boom".
The high-melt grenade exploded inside the barrel, melting the hard steel inside the barrel into a patch of pits.
Those Abrams main battle tanks that were once known as the "land overlord".
Reduced to a lump of iron that can only move.
After solving the major problem of tanks, they began to turn their attention to American soldiers.
This time, they no longer used simple magic attacks, but instead cast the Imperius Curse.
Under the effect of the spell, the eyes of the controlled American soldiers became empty and lifeless.
Their bodies were no longer controlled by their own will, but became puppets in the hands of the witch warriors, ruthlessly attacking their former comrades.
These comrades who once fought side by side have now become each other's mortal enemies.
An American soldier screamed in fear.
"No! What's going on? Why are you attacking me?"
But his questions were met with ruthless bullets.
Amid the chaos and confusion, the soldier's life quietly faded away.
More and more people fell at the hands of their own people.
Chaos and panic spread across the battlefield like a plague.
American soldiers began to suspect each other.
The submachine guns in their hands were no longer pointed at Shadow, but at their teammates.
MacArthur, who was still regretting the loss of the transport vehicle, also witnessed all this through the telescope.
He pounded his fist hard on the window frame next to him.
"These damn wizards, they actually dared to use the Imperius Curse!"
This army was originally a joint force put together in a hurry.
The fragile trust collapsed instantly in the face of the wizards' magic.
Captain Johnson on the side quickly spoke up.
"General, we must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, otherwise we will lose this war miserably."
MacArthur took a deep breath and said, "Pass the order down, have all the soldiers disperse immediately.
If you find someone shooting at your teammates, don't hesitate, just fight back."
"Yes, General." The messenger quickly conveyed MacArthur's order to the soldiers on the front line.
The American soldiers who received the order acted quickly despite being filled with fear.
They try to stay as far away from their teammates as possible.
The originally neat formation became chaotic in an instant.
However, although the battlefield is vast, it is almost a fantasy for nearly one million infantrymen to completely distance themselves from their teammates.
In the chaos, many people accidentally bumped into each other, and the highly tense emotions caused them to fire directly at each other.
More innocent souls died at the hands of their own people.
