"Thank you so much!"
Seeing Dumbledore's face darkening, Ye Feng instructed Zhang Qiu to protect herself and then made a hasty escape. Dumbledore, realizing that the situation was irreversible, sighed helplessly and had no choice but to accept reality.
"I believe you have all heard what Ye Feng just said. Now, let's unite and protect Hogwarts!"
"oh!!!"
Looking at the enthusiastic Hogwarts students, Dumbledore finally felt a little comforted. This time, he dared not be arrogant again, because based on his understanding of Ye Feng, he was indeed capable of doing it.
Therefore, he took a deep breath and announced loudly, "Now, as the Headmaster of Hogwarts, I, Dumbledore, hereby declare that I will be the Commander-in-Chief of this battle, the Heads of the Houses will be the Deputy Commanders, and the rest will remain as previously assigned."
"Now, everyone assemble at the front! Let's take up our weapons and protect Hogwarts!"
"Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore!"
At Dumbledore's command, everyone at Hogwarts sprang into action. Since this time they no longer had to defend the four sides separately, but only needed to guard the direction facing the Black Lake, the walls were filled with people.
Because of the previous monster siege, there were a lot of heavy weapons, so Dumbledore quickly divided them up and soon assembled several artillery squads, with machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, and the like mounted all over the walls.
It can be said that almost everyone on the field, except for those responsible for loading ammunition and adjusting the height of the cannons, was carrying at least one rocket launcher. Even the worst person would get an RPG after opening the box. As for grenades, they were useless at this time, so Ye Feng didn't put them in the gift box at all.
Then, a dense burst of firelight illuminated the walls of Hogwarts, and in the next instant, a series of enormous explosions resounded, illuminating the entire Black Lake.
"Woo~"
The powerful firepower was instantly unleashed on the enormous 'squid', forcing it back a step and causing it to let out a painful groan. This step back directly stirred up a monstrous wave in the Black Lake.
"boom!"
Huge waves crashed violently against the lake shore, uprooting trees on both sides, while the giant squid's eyes flashed red after being repelled.
“Rumble, rumble…”
"what sound?"
As a red light flashed in the giant squid's eyes, a tremendous roar resounded, a roar so powerful that even an explosion couldn't drown it out. This terrified many, as the giant squid's oppressive presence was simply too overwhelming.
Look behind it!!!
Just then, a sharp-eyed Hogwarts student shouted out, but unfortunately his words were too faint to be heard by the deafening gunfire and roar of the explosions.
However, the scene behind the giant squid was so obvious that although not many people heard it, quite a few people noticed it.
Behind the giant squid, rolling waves surged forward, and just as these waves were about to reach the giant squid, a change occurred that left everyone except Ye Feng dumbfounded.
The rolling waves parted to both sides just before crashing into the giant squid. As the waves parted, they grew higher and higher until they slowly transformed into a series of dilapidated sailboats. Keen-eyed observers could see that the sides of these sailboats were covered with cannons.
So, just as the warships formed by the tide were about to reach the shore, they turned and exposed the cannons on one side. It was then that they realized something was wrong.
"Hurry and take cover!"
Avoiding danger is a biological instinct. The students of Hogwarts had been through a whole day of guns and cannons, so they knew very well how dangerous these things were. Therefore, when they saw the dark muzzles of those warships, their first thought was to take cover.
However, they were now guarding Hogwarts, and they wouldn't actually die. More importantly, their commander, Dumbledore, saw a deeper impact, so he directly ordered Ravenclaw's artillery to turn their cannons around and attack the warships.
"All except the Ravenclaw artillery, continue the attack!"
"Ravenclaw artillery, turn your guns around, target—forward warships!"
"Bang bang bang..."
No sooner had Dumbledore given the order than the warships made of the tide opened fire, and cannonballs transformed from lake water came whistling through the air.
"Oh!"
To everyone's utter surprise, the cannonball, which was clearly made of lake water, actually hit its target like a solid iron ball, with astonishing power. The city wall, built of huge stones, was blasted into a deep crater.
Fortunately, these warships were firing upwards, so it was a little difficult to hit the Hogwarts students on the city walls; otherwise, this attack would have caused a lot of casualties.
Chapter 221 You call this a giant octopus?
The first generation of wars between firearms might be another world altogether. The weapons used by Hogwarts students, while not the most advanced, were still far superior to the muzzle-loading black powder cannons on those wooden sailing ships.
Therefore, as these warships fired a salvo and turned to attack with cannons from the other side, the cannons in Ravenclaw's artillery positions roared deafeningly.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
The dazzling flames directly destroyed a whole row of wooden sailboats, which then turned into water and disappeared. But before they could even rejoice, the giant squid that had been watching the cannon fire made a new move.
"Wow~"
With a series of splashing sounds, huge tentacles, each twenty or thirty meters in diameter, broke through the water's surface and swung about. These massive tentacles easily blocked a large amount of artillery fire, preventing the guns from directly hitting its body.
But that wasn't the end. After these tentacles broke through the water's surface, some of them didn't stop but continued to extend higher. When these tentacles extended high enough, a whooshing sound rang out.
"Woo!"
A sharp, piercing sound rang out as the enormous tentacles slammed into the water. The moment they crashed into the lake with a deafening roar, towering waves shot into the sky, completely blocking out the dense barrage of artillery fire.
But that wasn't the giant octopus's real purpose. The waves blocking the cannon fire were just a side effect; its real goal was to attack.
So, while the Hogwarts seniors were astonished that the water could withstand the cannon fire, the surging waves didn't recede but quickly froze into solid ice, and then…
"Woo~"
The giant octopus's thick tentacles, which it had previously used for defense, were already prepared. Almost as soon as the ice formed, they lashed out at an extremely fast speed, like whips. Because the connection speed was so fast, the ice formed from the water waves was almost not hit and was whipped away with a huge roar.
With a tremendous roar, chunks of ice, emitting wisps of cold air, crashed down on Hogwarts' position like meteorites.
"Anti-aircraft guns! Anti-aircraft machine guns, swivel anti-aircraft guns!"
Upon seeing the massive ice blocks falling from the sky, Dumbledore instantly understood just how terrifying their destructive power was. If these enormous ice blocks were allowed to fall, they would definitely suffer horrific casualties.
Therefore, Dumbledore decisively ordered the anti-aircraft guns and machine guns to adjust their elevation and return to defense, no longer attacking the giant octopus's body, but instead attacking the ice blocks that flew towards the position like meteorites.
With bursts of intense heat, one huge block of ice after another was blasted into pieces. Although the shattered ice blocks were smaller, they still possessed considerable power. Dumbledore clearly overlooked this, and by the time he saw many of the shattered ice blocks still flying towards the position, it was already too late.
However, compared to the huge block of ice, these small pieces of ice were nothing. Therefore, although some stray ice and small pieces of ice still landed on the battlefield, the casualties were still within an acceptable range, which relieved Dumbledore.
Perhaps the giant octopus was a little tired after attacking twice. After its two attacks were blocked, it did not continue to attack but instead advanced while defending against the attacks. However, Dumbledore was even more worried because the biggest threat to this giant octopus was not its attacks but its huge size.
To put it bluntly, because they have the ability to resurrect immediately in the restaurant after being killed, they are not afraid of dying at all. It can be said that as long as there is no large-scale death at once that causes a sharp drop in firepower, Dumbledore doesn't care how many die.
Therefore, Dumbledore was not worried at all that the giant octopus would stop attacking. In fact, he wished that the giant octopus would stay a little longer and launch a frenzied attack. Although they would be under more pressure and would die and regenerate repeatedly, the giant octopus's health would be continuously weakened, and it would eventually fall in front of the city wall.
As long as the giant octopus is kept outside the city walls, it doesn't matter how many Hogwarts students die and are resurrected. So when Dumbledore saw that the giant octopus was no longer attacking but instead focused on its journey, he became anxious.
Keep in mind that this giant octopus is conservatively estimated to be half the size of the entire castle area of Hogwarts. If it were to charge up, it could probably flatten the entire Hogwarts into a white wasteland in just a dozen seconds.
Realizing this, Dumbledore immediately began to think of a solution, and then he saw the enormous eyes of the giant squid.
Dumbledore: ヾ(??▽?)ノ
"Attention everyone! Aim for its eyes!"
It can be said that the eyes of any creature that needs to observe the world are its weak points, because the structure of the eye makes it more vulnerable than other parts of the body. So when Dumbledore ordered everyone to aim for the giant squid's eyes, Ye Feng had to give him a mental thumbs up. And then... and then the giant squid went berserk.
"Woo!"
The giant squid's big, blinking eyes were indeed one of its weaknesses, and arguably its weakest point. Therefore, just one round of attacks was enough to inflict serious pain on the giant octopus, which then went berserk.
Almost instantly, the giant octopus's specially targeted eyes were blasted hundreds or even thousands of times. This incredibly dense attack successfully shredded a large chunk of the giant octopus's blood, but the intense pain from the dense attack also made the giant octopus stand up in agony.
Yes, to everyone's horrified gaze, the giant octopus stood up. It was only then that they realized they had greatly underestimated the size of the giant octopus, as well as Ye Feng's monstrous abilities, because the giant octopus was actually just the monster's... head.
"Shet!"
"Fake Squid!"
"I think we can vote now."
Even Dumbledore couldn't help but curse when he saw the giant octopus that had 'stood up' out of the lake, because this thing was simply no match for humans. Now that it had stood up, it was even taller than Hogwarts.
Given its size, it could probably cross the city wall in just two steps, and then with a single stomp, not only would Hogwarts be destroyed, but the entire mountain would be shattered into pieces.
Dumbledore then turned and stared intently at Ye Feng, hoping he would give him a satisfactory answer.
Ye Feng: (〃'▽'〃)
Seeing Dumbledore's murderous gaze, Ye Feng tried to act cute, but it was clear that Dumbledore wasn't buying it. This forced Ye Feng to put away his smile and explain somewhat awkwardly, "Headmaster Dumbledore, please let me explain."
"Actually, at first I just wanted to make a giant octopus, but when I was halfway through, I suddenly thought of Hagrid, so I wondered if I could add some giant elements. Then I added some of Hagrid's beard, and that's how I created it. It really was just an accident."
"Moreover, this is actually a berserk form. As long as you don't anger Him and make Him go berserk, He won't show this form."
"By the way, Headmaster Dumbledore, don't be fooled by His intimidating size and appearance. His defense is actually quite low, and he can be repelled after going berserk. So we still have a good chance of killing Him before He lands."
Dumbledore: (?_?)
Can you look me in the eye when you say that?
Ye Feng:  ̄▽ ̄
Dumbledore: (▼ヘ▼#)
"Trying to be cute won't work! Turn the difficulty back up!"
Ye Feng: (???‵‵)
Seeing that Dumbledore was really angry, Ye Feng had no choice but to lift his foot slightly and change the formation beneath him, lowering the difficulty. Otherwise, they might really have to go to school on a different mountain next year.
Seeing Ye Feng reluctantly modify the difficulty, the creepy 'giant octopus' returned to its previous appearance. Dumbledore wiped the sweat from his forehead. He could see that Ye Feng really wanted to demolish the school.
Chapter 212 Giant Octopus: Are you a sore loser?
"boom!"
A dazzling light flashed from beneath the giant octopus's feet, followed by a tremendous explosion, and then a towering wave of water engulfed the giant octopus.
Even Dumbledore was stunned by the sight of the towering waves that were much higher than the entire Hogwarts building. And when the massive waves, which could have easily submerged and destroyed Hogwarts, receded, the giant octopus that had stood up returned to the water.
"Whoo~"
Seeing this, Dumbledore finally breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, not only would the Hogwarts students not have the confidence to defeat that monster, but he himself would not have the confidence either. In fact, just looking at it made him want to run away, because that thing was just too terrifying.
It's much better now. Although this thing still looks quite scary and has a strong sense of oppression, compared to the thing from before, it's a complete idiot. The feeling of oppression is gone instantly.
"Children! This monster has just exhausted a lot of its power and is extremely weak now. Let's take this opportunity to finish it off in one fell swoop and never let it set foot on Hogwarts land!"
"kill!"
Although Dumbledore didn't understand modern warfare very well, he was good at inspiring people. So the Hogwarts students, who had just been extremely frustrated and thought they couldn't beat this thing, were instantly full of energy again, and even the firepower on the field was instantly upgraded.
However, they soon realized that although the giant octopus in front of them was clearly not on the same level as the 'giant octopus' from before, it was still not something they could easily defeat.
