MTL - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior-Chapter 478 476. Lucius Leads the Charge
Chapter 478 476. Lucius leads the charge
The scene is too chaotic.
Few of the pure bloods who can choose to hide here are in the battle order, and the first time they encounter danger, of course all they can think of is fleeing.
Apparation is banned, and I can't fly out. Now the only way out is this fireplace, and it is impossible to let everyone leave at once. The number of Floo fans is even more limited. It never occurred to them that they would eventually be reduced to relying on the fireplace to escape.
So the scramble began.
Before Moody and the others had completely broken through the Aurors' defenses and entered the manor, these pure bloods had already started to mess up.
No matter whether it is a wizard or a witch or a child who is not enough to go to a magic school, they are all scrambling to squeeze in the direction of the fireplace. Get out here.
And after two or three purebloods grabbed the Floo powder because they were fast enough, ignoring its consumption, they grabbed most of it and sprinkled it into the fireplace and left, the remaining purebloods The atmosphere became more tense.
Based on the amount of Floo powder, everyone knows that at least two-thirds of the pure blood on the scene cannot be grabbed, and they must be kept. Whoever can get those Floo powder first will be able to escape successfully!
After understanding this situation, some of the already vicious pure blood immediately raised their magic wands!
They can treat mixed-bloods and hemp-bloods without any scruples, and when necessary, when facing pure-bloods of the same class, they can certainly raise their butcher knives without the slightest psychological pressure!
This is also the reason why Wu Pingxian planned to leave the only channel of Floo Network at the beginning. As long as there is a hope of escaping, these people will escape with a trace. Why can't they be like themselves? No longer thinking about resistance, and even killing each other for this glimmer of hope!
At this moment, the situation was developing as Moody had envisioned at the beginning, and when a big melee was about to start at the scene, and when it was decided who had the final chance of escape, a rapid and loud incantation sounded Suddenly it sounded in the chaos!
"Thunderbolt Explosion!"
"Boom!"
Under the screams of countless pure bloods around, the fireplace, their only hope of escape, was blown to pieces by a blasting spell!
The few pure bloods closest to them were hit by the shattered bricks, and some were hit in the head by the unlucky ones, causing their heads to bleed on the spot.
And most of the pure bloods looked at the instigator who blushed and panted in shock!
"Lucius! What are you doing!"
The owner of this manor, the younger sister of the Kahlo siblings—Alecto Kahlo screamed.
At the same time, in the next second, countless wands aimed at Lucius, and his wife, Draco's mother, Narcissa, grabbed her husband's arm nervously.
Lucius's brain is almost blank now!
But facing the magic wands of his fellow pureblood colleagues around him, he calmed down extremely quickly!
He is very clear that he is making the most correct decision, and it is also the only decision that can make the people present survive to the maximum extent!
"It's a trap!"
He roared loudly, which was enough to suppress all the noisy voices present even without the use of amplifying spells, making the scene quiet in an instant.
"This must be a trap for Dumbledore's gang! I don't know how the news got out that we were all here! But besieging us here with only one fireplace to get out is definitely what they want to see ! If we kill each other for the only way to escape, then everyone will be finished! There must be no more than five people present who can escape!"
"So you blow it up! Let's all die here!"
Amycus Carlo also screamed almost emotionally, but Lucius didn't flinch in the slightest. He glared at the Carlo brothers and sisters!
"The people from Wu Pingxian have not attacked yet! Those Aurors are still standing around! We still have so many people here, who said that everyone will die! Each of us has a magic wand in our hand! Instead of holding It's a useless stick!"
Amidst Lucius' roar, more and more people gradually regained their sense, and they soon realized that what he said was right.
If you really put all your hopes on the fireplace, then most of the people present will be killed or injured before the wizards from the Wuping Line attack.
And if they dare to turn back and resist at this time, whether they really want to drive the enemy back or escape while taking advantage of the chaos, then they still have a chance to survive!
If the fireplace hadn't been blown up, of course no one would listen to Lucius' rational speech, but now that the only safe escape route for them is gone, they have no choice.
Lucius watched the scene finally calm down from the madness and chaos, and his beating heart also heaved a sigh of relief.
The reason why he made such a risky move was not to keep the pure blood present, but he and Narcissa couldn't rush to the position near the fireplace, and if the situation continued like this, the couple would definitely die undoubtedly!
Lucius didn't want to die, let alone Narcissa die with him.
So he must think of a way to survive, and now the only way to survive is this one!
He didn't know how many people Wu Pingxian had come this time, and he didn't know how long those Aurors could hold out, but at least it wasn't an absolute dead end like the fireplace dilemma!
Subsequently, as the initiator of turning around and resisting this plan, coupled with his command experience as the director of the Auror Office for many years, Lucius was granted the temporary command right of everyone present as a matter of course.
He immediately divided all the pure blood present into a group that could be used as a combat force and a group of old, young, women and children.
The latter batch were all left in the manor.
Of course, Lucius knew that if these people stayed, unless the Death Eaters and Aurors could turn the tables, they would all be stuck here.
So Lucius left a few young pure-bloods that he could trust, and handed over these old, young, women and children, including his wife Narcissa, and asked them to keep an eye on the situation on the battlefield outside. If there is a chance, immediately take everyone to escape from here.
Lucius and Narcissa took a deep look at the end, and then led the others out of the manor without hesitation!
He didn't do it for the honor of pure blood, let alone for the loyalty of his master, he just wanted to keep his family as much as possible.
