Chapter 553: Battle Song

The silver-white protective light curtain vibrated violently, and ripples spread out in the night, like a lake rolling endlessly under the impact of heavy rain, making the faces of the wizards in the city flicker.

Ron slowly loosened his hands that he had just subconsciously clenched. He swallowed his saliva, looked at the light curtain above his head that was still strong, and smiled casually: "To be honest, I really thought that this light curtain would be smashed by them in one wave, but I didn't expect it to be so strong."

Ginny glanced at him with a sly smile on her lips: "Ron, look at the way you looked just now, you almost broke Hermione's hand, didn't you?"

Hermione rubbed the back of her hand and gave Ron a reproachful look, but she didn't mean to blame him.

Ron's face flushed instantly. It was his first time participating in a battle of this scale. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.

Faced with the overwhelming spells, he was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe. Only when he saw that the light curtain was as strong as before did he slowly relax.

Even so, facing Hermione and Ginny, Ron was unwilling to admit his nervousness and could only stammer in his retort.

"W-what are you talking about! I-I was on high alert, preparing for any emergency! If the light curtain was broken, I would immediately take Hermione to find cover! This is called tactics, you don't understand at all!"

Ginny snorted and crossed her arms, "Really? Then why didn't you hold me?"

Ron choked and immediately changed the subject: "But you, don't keep smiling like a fool. Don't think I didn't see what Harry said to you just now. As your brother, I haven't agreed yet."

Hermione couldn't help but chuckle as she watched the bickering brother and sister. The tense atmosphere seemed to be diluted a little at this moment.

"Hmph," Ginny snorted, her ears slightly red, but she quickly regained her composure, "If it weren't for Harry, I wouldn't bother to form a three-person combat team with you. Let's make a deal first, when the fight starts, I'll be the main attacker."

Ron didn't object this time. Compared to his brother, Ginny's magical power was slightly inferior, but her fighting style was much more violent. She was proficient in spells and could smash people to pieces. She also used quick attacks in normal duels. There was no objection to her replacing Harry as the main attacker in the three-person team this time.

"Okay," Ron said with finality. "Anyway, we have cooperated with each other during the special training at Swan Manor. After the light curtain disappears, we can just act according to the plan."

Having said that, he paused slightly, looked up at the still solid silver-white protective light curtain in the night sky, frowned slightly, and said, "I don't know how long this light curtain can last..."

He was not the only one who was worried. The representatives from various countries standing on the roof of Swann Alchemy Building were even more shocked and frightened.

What is this?!

They originally just came to Xincheng to attend a meeting, so how did they suddenly get involved in a war?

What's worse is that most of them came alone without any Aurors, but now they have to face the Death Eaters army outside the city. In this situation, who wouldn't be afraid?

To be honest, they really wanted to find an excuse to evacuate. After all, the Floo network in the new city was not completely closed, but only allowed exit but not entry. They could leave and stay away from this war that should not belong to them.

But the problem is, if they flee as soon as the fight starts, won’t they be nailed to the pillar of shame?

Even if the new city was destroyed, they didn't believe anything would happen to Sebastian. If he ran away now, he would be held accountable by the new president sooner or later.

Don't forget, in addition to the mysterious man in front of you, there is also a Grindelwald waiting for the new president to come forward.

"Sebastian..."

Just when everyone was hesitating, Akinbade finally couldn't hold back and walked towards Sebastian, who had been with everyone from the beginning.

Compared to the restlessness of the crowd, Sebastian seemed exceptionally calm. He had an unconcealed smile on his face, and his fingers gently turned an alchemical ring, as if the battle in front of him had nothing to do with him.

Akinbad lowered his voice and persuaded: "The power comparison between the enemy and us is huge. There are too few guards in the new city, and there are too many Death Eaters, as well as werewolves, giants, Dementors, etc. Perhaps, we can ask representatives of various countries to summon their own Aurors to come to support. More strength is always a good thing, what do you think?"

"Don't worry, just watch from here." Sebastian smiled slightly, his eyes leisurely sweeping towards the army of Death Eaters in the distance, his eyes full of disdain.

In his view, the mob outside the city was nothing but thugs in name only, and Voldemort's command was extremely poor - this army had no rules, its tactics relied entirely on brute force, and they were even bold enough to expose their backs to Hogwarts.

"To be honest, I don't underestimate the mysterious man." Sebastian shrugged his shoulders easily, with a hint of teasing in his tone, "But he should break the light curtain above his head first."

Different from the magic wars seen in movies and TV shows in previous lives, Sebastian at this moment personally participated in the construction of this protective magic. In addition to him, Dumbledore also personally participated in the construction of the light curtain, but he was dressed as a middle-aged man and mixed in the crowd, so no one could recognize him.

With the joint efforts of two legendary wizards, the defensive power of this barrier is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people and it is by no means something that can be easily broken.

Moreover, although the Death Eaters looked mighty, a small number of undercover agents were almost idle the entire time. Even those who were seriously attacking could not concentrate all their firepower on one point at the same time.

Therefore, more than ten minutes passed, and even though the bombardment of the spell was still continuing, the silver-white light curtain was still as solid as before.

They started off with a strong momentum, then weakened, and finally exhausted. The Death Eaters' morale was extremely low.

Voldemort's expression became increasingly gloomy, and his red eyes revealed a chilling coldness in the dark night.

"waste!"

His patience was finally exhausted. He flipped his wrist and raised the Elder Wand high. With a violent fluctuation of magic power, a thick spell shot towards the protective light curtain!

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on that spot of light, trying to witness the moment the barrier was torn apart.

However, to everyone's surprise, the light curtain only trembled slightly, causing ripples, and then returned to its original state, still standing.

The air suddenly became quiet, and even the Death Eaters camp fell into a brief silence.

Voldemort's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. He lowered his head and stared at the old wand in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.

Seeing Voldemort being humiliated, Sebastian's mouth widened.

"Just getting beaten up isn't my style. Now it's our turn to fight back."

As he spoke, he took out his magic phone and dialed a special contact.

"Luna, go to the war song..."
