Whoosh!
An arrow flashing with cold light and murderous intent penetrated the tree as thick as an adult's waist and disappeared into the wolf pack that was fleeing in panic. Suddenly, a werewolf was nailed to the rock and howled miserably. However, The sound didn't last long, and Ronan, who arrived shortly after, shot the werewolf through the throat, ending his sinful life.
This scene fell into Greyback's eyes, making the heinous werewolf leader hiss with hatred.
Previously, with the joint efforts of the centaurs, Hagrid and Professor Snape, the remaining more than a hundred werewolves suffered heavy casualties. Seeing that the situation was not good, Greyback led the remaining seventy or eighty werewolves to break out into the mountains. .
Glancing at the people following him behind him, Greyback cursed Peter, who wrote to them, with sinful words in his heart. This despicable guy caused them to lose the protection of the Dark Lord twelve years ago, and today, he almost hurt them again. All the werewolves died in the Forbidden Forest.
Tonight, the werewolves under Greyback suffered heavy casualties, and their only gain was to capture a few centaurs.
These 'donkeys' are expensive in the underground world. If they can be successfully sold, they can also make up for the 50,000 Ministry of Magic remuneration that slipped away from them.
Of course, the money is not easy to come by. The group of centaurs behind them are going crazy trying to get their kidnapped kindred back. On the way to escape, more than a dozen of their kind have died in their hands.
"Give up, Greyback, you can't escape."
For Greyback, another gain tonight was Remus Lupin.
The traitor had bad luck. After escaping, he fainted in the woods and was taken advantage of by Greyback.
"Shut up, traitor!"
Greyback spread an ugly wolf kiss to Remus under his arm and said with a ferocious smile,
"If I am destined to die today, then I will definitely let you die in front of us. Of course, I don't think you need to be so pessimistic. I heard that you are working for Dumbledore now, right? Maybe he is willing to spend some money to remove you from me. Maybe I can redeem it with my hands!"
Remus's head drooped weakly, his body was covered with scars, and blood dripped from his cheeks.
Facing Greyback's whims, Remus only trembled his eyelids slightly and muttered in a breathless voice,
"You're crazy, Greyback."
As the werewolves crossed a ridge one after another, the world in front of them became clearer. At the end of their sight, there was a glimmer of hope that made the werewolves, including Greyback, overjoyed.
The centaurs have no means of teleportation, so as long as they escape the Forbidden Forest, the werewolves have plenty of means to escape pursuit.
Without Greyback's urging, the werewolves roared with excitement one after another, increasing their horsepower one by one and charging towards the hope of survival. At the same time, the centaurs who realized that the werewolves were about to escape also fell into extreme mania, and arrows And wooden spears fell like raindrops, most of them aimed at Greyback's back!
Clang!
Greyback smashed several spears with his backhand claw, and looked at the furious Firenze and the others with a provocative smile.
Since the werewolves entered the Forbidden Forest, these centaurs have been trying to drive out the werewolves, but until the end, they still failed to achieve this goal. Although the werewolves suffered heavy losses tonight, the werewolves' methods of restoring the number of the group were not comparable to the centaurs.
"Ha, we'll see you around, mules!"
Greyback laughed loudly, and in the next second, he took the lead to rush out of the dark primitive forest and arrived in the wilderness bathed in moonlight.
Where the werewolves protrude from the Forbidden Forest, Hogsmeade is not far away. Not far to the west, all the way to the horizon are the fields cultivated by the villagers of Hogsmeade. To the east are the rolling mountains, and they On a hillside in front of him, an old house stood, allowing Greyback to figure out where he was.
"The one with the wand disapparated and left, and the rest returned to human form and sneaked into Hogsmeade. These centaurs will not rush into the wizard's territory!"
Greyback took out his wand and greeted loudly. At his reminder, the werewolves returned to their human form one after another. Those with the ability to apparate were ready to teleport away, while the rest rushed towards Hogsmeade, preparing to fish in troubled waters.
There were crisp explosions at the foot of the windy mountain. Under the angry curses of the centaurs, one after another, including Greyback, disappeared into the air. The pursuing centaurs could only watch the werewolves kidnapped them. Let their companions go!
"Stop it, you despicable scum!"
Baine let out a feeble roar, and its arrow pierced a werewolf who was running towards Hogsmeade. The body of the suddenly unconscious werewolf was carried away by the powerful force of the arrow, rolling in mid-air.
boom!
But then, something weird happened.
An invisible barrier seemed to appear in the air, and the werewolf's body, still in mid-air, hit the barrier with a bang and fell to the ground in a free-falling trajectory.
And this was just the beginning. The werewolves who were running towards Hogsmeade were unable to stop. One after another they crashed into the transparent barrier. They were all panic-stricken, howling and beating the wall, not understanding what was happening.
"How is this going?"
Seeing this scene, the centaurs stopped their hooves at the boundary between the Forbidden Forest and the mountains. The anger on Bain's rough face faded and was replaced by shock.
"This is the wizard's magic——"
Ronan dug the soil with his front hooves and looked around uneasily.
"But I can't figure out who it is."
Snap, snap, snap!
The centaurs were confused about who had stopped the werewolves trying to escape. At this time, in mid-air, the werewolves who had just teleported away from here appeared here one by one, falling from mid-air to the rocky ground.
Greyback's face was still full of joy. He thought he was out of danger, but when he saw the scene around him and the centaurs not far away who were staring at him strangely, his expression froze. , fear and uneasiness are rolling in the light yellow vertical pupils.
"what happened?"
Greyback sternly asked the subordinates around him who were also excluded from the void.
"I don't know-"
A lame werewolf looked at the wand in his hand and said blankly,
"I was going to Anglesey, but why did I come back here?"
The uneasiness forced the werewolves to gather together again. They talked incessantly and looked panicked like bereaved dogs.
These werewolves who failed to sneak back brought back a few kidnapped centaurs. Bain looked relieved and immediately rushed to rescue his compatriots, but Firenze stopped him.
"Wait, Bain, don't be impulsive!"
Firenze stood in front of Bain and said solemnly,
"It seems that a powerful wizard is preparing to judge these despicable dark creatures!"
"But who is it?" Ronan asked, panting slightly, "Who can do all this?"
"As far as I know, there's only one human wizard who can do it."
Firenze said cautiously.
"Look, there's someone there!"
Finally, a werewolf accidentally glanced at the sky, pointed at the void under the blood moon, and roared in horror.
At his reminder, all the werewolves and centaurs looked there, and the confused Remus slowly raised his head. When he recognized the figure in the independent void under the moon, Remus Si laughed softly, but there was a little sadness mixed in the laughter.
"Hey, Greyback, the end of the werewolf has come."
