Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

A man-portable missile, imbued with intense heat and majesty, hurtled towards the Silver Wolf. However, before it could even touch the Silver Wolf, it exploded with a terrifying sonic boom, silencing the Silver Wolf's howl.

However, although the wolf howling stopped, the silver wolf's rampage did not cease, as it leaped directly onto the city wall and headed straight for the artillery positions behind it.

"Stop it!"

Seeing this, everyone else immediately panicked. Even Dumbledore couldn't help but clench his fists. But the artillery position was not a position to be slaughtered without any ability to resist. On the contrary, its combat power was very strong because they had laid the anti-aircraft guns flat.

“Boom boom boom boom…”

The sound of anti-aircraft guns firing rang out continuously. Just three seconds later, the silver wolf turned into white light and disappeared, leaving behind a gift box that emitted a faint glow where the silver wolf disappeared.

Actually, there were also gift boxes after the sirens and the giant dragon leader were killed, but one was outside the city wall and too far away, and the other was deserted at the time, so not many people saw it.

However, even if they saw it, no one would pay much attention, because a considerable number of monsters had already poured in through the gap.

"Da da da... Boom!"

Amidst the continuous bursts of gunfire and explosions, Ye Feng and his group, who had reached the breach, saw monsters surging wildly into it.

In a narrow encounter, the brave prevail, especially since Ye Feng and his group were armed with various firearms. In an instant, swarms of monsters vanished in white light. It was at this moment that Ye Feng and his group realized that this was much simpler than guarding the city wall, because they didn't need to aim at all; they could just close their eyes and sweep towards the gap.

The others who had been killed at the other breaches and were rushing back also noticed this, so instead of going up the city wall, they waited directly behind the breaches, displaying an air of one man holding the pass against ten thousand.

Harry and his friends, who were huddled against the wall, saw this and thought they could use the gaps to eliminate the monsters. So they let the monsters rush into the gaps and focused their firepower on taking down the remaining centaur leader.

It can't be said that their idea was wrong. Doing so is possible if there is enough firepower. However, the people who respawned and rushed back basically only had one gun. They had almost no heavy firepower.

In this situation, they can indeed hold the line if there are fewer monsters pouring into the breach, but once the number of monsters pouring into the breach exceeds their firepower limit, they will instantly suffer a bloodbath, because their firepower is simply insufficient to kill all the monsters pouring in.

So when Harry and his group mobilized the others to use heavy firepower to prioritize attacking the centaur leader and clear out the giant spiders that could climb the wall, a large number of monsters poured in through the gap. Even though Ye Feng and his group had fired their guns until their barrels were red-hot and had thrown grenades one after another, they still couldn't clear them all out.

Like an avalanche, the moment one of them suddenly realized that the grenades he was carrying were gone, a tidal wave of monsters surged in and instantly engulfed them. By the time those clinging to the wall realized something was wrong and prepared to help, the monsters had already stormed inside the city walls.

Dumbledore, who had been watching closely, couldn't help but shake his head at the sight. Fortunately, the centaur leader was finally killed at that moment, and the firepower that had been withdrawn was instantly redeployed to defend.

Although it was a bit late, the main force was eventually intercepted. Even so, a large number of monsters had already approached or even climbed the city walls. Gunshots and explosions rang out continuously inside and outside the city walls.

Chapter 209 The Battle to Defend Hogwarts

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a deep crater was blasted into the lawn outside Hogwarts Castle.

"Da da da da da..."

The rapid sound of machine gun fire rang out, and a three-meter-tall giant wolf vanished in a flash of white light, but a row of bullet holes appeared on the walls of Hogwarts Castle.

Dumbledore: (;???Д??`)

"My...my castle..."

Ye Feng: ???

"Serves you right for showing off and not giving proper orders. Now you know you were wrong, right?"

Amid Dumbledore's pained expression and the desperate counterattack of all the Hogwarts students, the monsters were held back on the outskirts of the castle and failed to truly penetrate its interior. Even so, much of the castle's outer walls and covered bridges were destroyed.

If no monsters had emerged after the four leaders were killed, then apart from the core restaurant, everything else would probably have been ravaged by war.

Even so, this is still an impressive achievement that Voldemort never accomplished in his entire life.

But is that really the end of it? Ye Feng smiled but remained silent.

...

"Won!"

"We held it!"

"Quick! Go collect the spoils! I just found quite a few gift boxes, especially outside the city walls. We can't let the other academies get there first!"

...

Excited cheers erupted throughout the school, and Dumbledore finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Although many parts of the house were still damaged, it wasn't a major problem; at most, a few more buildings could be restored to their original state afterward.

Ye Feng had already started collecting loot before the last monster was killed, and by the time the others reacted, he had already brought back the gift box dropped by the Sirens from outside the city wall.

Even though he acted quickly, he only managed to get two gift boxes; the other two were taken by someone else. Of course, besides those two, he also got quite a few other gift boxes.

Of course, since not every monster drops a gift box, the situation of having gift boxes everywhere without even a place to stand did not occur, but the three gaps did indeed have a situation where gift boxes were piled up.

Everyone was initially happy when they picked up the gift box and opened it, because there were many delicious things inside. However, when they discovered that the majority of the gift box contained weapons and ammunition, and even better ones than before, especially heavy weapons which were significantly more numerous, they realized that something was wrong.

However, many people were only skeptical, but when they saw Ye Feng take out the gift box that was emitting a little light and hand it to Dumbledore, their concerns instantly dissipated.

"So you wanted the principal to open the gift box to bring to a close tonight's event? I thought there was more to come."

"I thought there was more too, but to be honest, tonight's event is really exciting. This thing is much more interesting than a wand." As he spoke, the Gryffindor student patted the rifle hanging on his body.

"Indeed, but magic can do many things that firearms cannot."

"Aren't you focusing on the wrong thing? If I remember correctly, there should be four leaders, which means there should also be four glowing gift boxes. Why are there only two now?"

"What else could it be? Two of them must have been picked up by others, and maybe they've already been opened. After all, no one told us before we started that these four gift boxes were to be handed over to Headmaster Dumbledore to open."

“That makes sense, but I still want to know where the other two gift boxes went.”

"You son of a bitch..."

Just as the crowd below was in an uproar, George, one of the twins, stepped out from the crowd and stood in front of Dumbledore. He took out a small, palm-sized gift box from his pocket, which was enchanted with an infinite extension spell, and presented it to Dumbledore with both hands.

"I saw Ye quietly pick up the glowing gift box. I thought there must be something good inside, so I picked one up too. I didn't expect that it was Headmaster Dumbledore who opened it in the end. Luckily I didn't open it beforehand, or I would have caused trouble."

Ye Feng: ...

Dumbledore: ...

All I can say is that Geminis are indeed Geminis; their eyes are truly sharp.

After George took out the gift box, Harry also took two steps forward, took out a gift box, and handed it to Dumbledore.

Ye Feng: ...

Dumbledore: ...

Others: ...

The scene before them was beyond everyone's expectations, because no one expected that the gift boxes, which were clearly scattered in four directions, would all be taken by Gryffindor. And many people in the room probably didn't even notice that the gift boxes could glow, which was just too absurd.

In the end, Dumbledore did not open the gift boxes. Instead, he distributed four boxes to Zhang Qiu and the other three, saying loudly, "I have seen your efforts."

"Without your tireless command and the concerted efforts of the students from the four academies, we would have been absolutely unable to defend against this monster siege. Therefore, these four gift boxes should be opened by you."

Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, almost everyone was incredibly excited. Then, Harry and the other three exchanged glances and simultaneously opened the boxes in their hands. At the moment when all four boxes were opened at the same time, Ye Feng's lips curled up slightly.

"Welcome to the final event of New Year's Eve—the Battle of Hogwarts. Dear Headmaster Dumbledore, this is the holiday surprise I have prepared for you. I hope you enjoy it."

?(?????)?

"Hey~~"

"boom!"

The moment the four gift boxes were opened at the same time, a red firework shot into the sky and then exploded with a bang. The dazzling fireworks enveloped the entire Hogwarts and illuminated the sky. While most people were admiring the magnificent and beautiful fireworks and marveling at them, many others sat down on the ground with a thud.

"What...what is that...?"

In the darkness, an enormous figure stood silently on the surface of the Black Lake.

By the light of the fireworks, one could vaguely see that the enormous figure above the water was nine-tenths similar to the giant octopus in the Black Lake, but it was several times larger. The part of the figure above the water was almost as tall as the mountain where Hogwarts Castle stood.

In other words, if it were to go ashore, Hogwarts might not even be as tall as it.

"This...is this a joke?"

"Am I dreaming? How could such a huge monster exist in the world?"

"Don't tell me our last activity tonight is to fight this guy. I seriously doubt whether the guns we have can even break through his defenses."

"Woo~~"

Just as everyone was discussing, the puppet octopus, which had been modified by Ye Feng, let out a long cry and began to move towards Hogwarts. As it moved, the Black Lake instantly began to churn, and giant waves began to crash against the shore one after another.

Seeing that the giant octopus was actually heading towards Hogwarts, even Dumbledore was a little taken aback. He turned to Ye Feng and asked, "Mr. Ye Feng, you're not joking, are you?"

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Ye Feng said with a serious expression, "No, the last activity tonight is to defeat it, and I call it—the Battle of Hogwarts. If we can't eliminate it before we cross the walls, it really will push Hogwarts down, because I haven't set a stop function for it."

Dumbledore: (キ｀?Д??)!!

"What...what did you say? You didn't set a stop function for him!!!"

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Dumbledore was completely stunned, and the others were also terrified when they heard that if they could not kill the behemoth before it crossed the city walls, Hogwarts would be flattened.

Chapter 210 If I can't hold on, I'll have to attend the new Hogwarts next year.

"Are you...you're kidding? How could we possibly beat them?"

Ye Feng: (～￣▽￣)～

"Theoretically, it's possible. As long as we work together, we can kill it before it completely destroys Hogwarts with the various heavy weapons we just obtained from the box."

"Of course, it's just theory. Whether we can actually do it depends on ourselves."

Dumbledore: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Seeing Ye Feng confirm repeatedly, Dumbledore was so angry that he almost grabbed Ye Feng and gave him a good beating on the spot. However, he still had some sense of reason, so he gestured to Zhang Qiu with his eyes, asking Zhang Qiu to ask Ye Feng again, because Ye Feng would never lie to Zhang Qiu, so it would be more credible if Zhang Qiu asked.

Zhang Qiu was also a little startled, so she didn't see Dumbledore's signal at first. But she was also eager to know the answer to the question, so even though she didn't see Dumbledore's signal, she still asked.

"Feng, you're not kidding us, are you? How could we possibly beat this? Even if we have missile launchers now, this behemoth definitely can't be destroyed by a single missile."

Upon hearing Zhang Qiu's question, Ye Feng answered very seriously: "I'm not joking. If we fail to eliminate that giant octopus before it crosses the city walls, it will mercilessly wipe out Hogwarts."

"Of course, with the protective array, the personnel will definitely not be injured. At most, the school buildings and such will be completely bulldozed."

"But it doesn't matter if it's razed to the ground. Our school's castle is already very old. Rubbing it down will allow us to redesign and build a new one. Maybe the new one will look even better."

Zhang Qiu: (；￣д￣)

"Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by Headmaster Dumbledore for doing this?"

As if reading Zhang Qiu's thoughts, Ye Feng smiled and said in a low voice, "It's alright. Headmaster Dumbledore is magnanimous and won't hold a grudge over such a 'trivial matter.' Besides, he promised me that I would arrange everything myself. He said it himself."

Dumbledore: (╬◣д◢)
