Hogwarts Summoning Guide

"What a coincidence today! Luckily, there are so many fishing boats to provide cover for us!" Yuxi said, standing on the deck and looking at the dozens of fishing boats on the surrounding sea.

Hiroyuki Edogawa, standing to the side, weakly said, "It's not a coincidence, it was all arranged by Miss Lulu..."

"I knew it..." Yuqian winked at Bai Lin and said, "The captain is responsible for charging into battle, but Lulu is the one for logistics and command..."

Lulu wasn't idle either; she had already summoned a Swift Shadow Beast to patrol the surrounding area as a scout.

Meanwhile, Bai Lin was maintaining contact with Qi Qi. She and her tactical squad had arrived at the designated sea area and were ready to land and fight at any time. Bai Lin told them to hide well, as the enemy had many Hastur cultists. Even if ordinary people wore rune equipment, they would still be powerless against the high-intensity mental power.

The fishing boat had been sailing for over two hours, and it was almost noon. Lulu, who had been staring at her watch the whole time, finally knocked on the railing of the fishing boat and said, "We've crossed the magical monitoring zone, but the situation on the island isn't looking good..."

She summoned the crystal ball again, and everyone saw the Swift Shadow Beast fly quickly over the farms, orchards, and villages on the island... Farmers were busy in the fields, merchants opened their shop doors, tourists strolled on the road, and children played on the street corner... Everything seemed peaceful and serene.

"Isn't this normal?" Yuqian asked curiously. Zhang Xuanyi was also puzzled, not knowing what Lulu meant by not being optimistic.

"No one is speaking!" Hiroyuki Edogawa shouted. "There isn't a single scene showing anyone talking; they're all being controlled! Everyone on the island is being controlled!"

Bai Lin glanced approvingly at Edogawa and nodded, saying, "They've been affected by the Hastur Church's mental magic, or they've been parasitized by octopus monsters... They no longer need to talk; they can transmit information through mental power!"

Lulu zoomed in on the camera, and everyone stared intently. Sure enough, the farmers' eyes were lifeless, as if their gaze had lost focus, and their faces were cold and indifferent, like walking corpses.

"Jeju Island has an area of ​​1845 square kilometers and a population of 66. It's impossible for us to massacre everyone on the island. Do we have a specific target for the raid?" Hiroyuki Edogawa asked.

Lulu glanced at him, then with a wave of her hand, pulled a map out of her magic pouch and said, "Jeju Island is an island formed by an underwater volcanic eruption 120 million years ago. These volcanoes created natural underground passages."

I have some unconfirmed information... Fujiwara Ichiura chose this time to come here because he probably wants to merge the Hastur Church with the ogre army!

Bai Lin stroked his chin. He was quite wary of the Hastur cultists' spiritual power, while the underground ogres possessed powerful bodies and the ability to appear and disappear unpredictably. The two abilities were a perfect match.

If the trolls were parasitized by Hastur's octopus servants, possessing the abilities of both, how destructive would a powerful monster capable of invisibility, flight, and area-of-effect mind control be? It's simply unimaginable.

"There are three locations for the raid: Manjanggul Cave in Hallasan in the center, Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak in the east, and Cheonjiyeon Waterfall in the west. Kerry, you need to make a decision: should we go to them one by one, or split into three groups?" Lulu asked.

Looking at the map, Bai Lin had no further information and could only guess. He glanced at Edogawa Hiroyuki, who winked at him and then looked to the left. Bai Lin immediately understood.

"We must split our forces into three groups, without alerting Fujiwara Ichiura and letting him get the news and run away. All three groups will attack simultaneously. If we find Fujiwara himself, we must hold him off and signal me!" Bai Lin made the decision.

"I'll take men here!" Zhang Xuan pointed to the Ten Thousand Zhang Cave in the middle and volunteered. Although he didn't bring many men, they were all elite "Yiran" soldiers. If it weren't for Bai Lin's unexpected presence, this would be the strongest combat force combination in the East.

As dusk fell and the sky darkened, the crimson sun gradually sank below the western horizon. Bai Lin held Lulu's hand in one hand and grabbed Edogawa Hiroyuki with the other, activating Phantom Shift towards Jeju Island, which was within sight.

Bai Lin's division of forces was simple. Since Zhang Xuanyi had volunteered to attack Wan Zhang Cave, which was most likely the enemy's stronghold, he decided to launch a surprise attack on Tian Di Yuan Waterfall in the west, while You Qian would lead the main force to join forces with Qi Qi and launch a surprise attack on Chengshan Sunrise Peak. If Fujiwara Ichiura was not in Tian Di Yuan, he was confident that he could end the battle as soon as possible and then rush to the aid of the other two groups.

Meanwhile, somewhere underground in Jeju Island, a large group of humanoid creatures are moving rapidly in the darkness. This is a huge underground space, and the air is filled with the smell of sulfur and ammonia. An ordinary person would suffocate in just a few minutes here.

The underground passage gradually extended deeper, and the temperature gradually rose, reaching at least 55 degrees Celsius. The only human woman in the group groaned softly. She was wearing a heavy gas mask and night vision goggles; the temperature was indeed unbearably hot.

Two creatures with long, tentacle-like growths on their backs at the front of the group signaled that the target had been reached. These two were not Fujiwara Ichiura's monstrous hybrids, but rather "native" underground monstrous creatures, only now they had been mentally controlled by the octopus-headed figure beside Fujiwara Ichiura.

"General Grakua, the ogre's lair is just ahead. There are quite a few of them... and they probably aren't very friendly to us..." Fujiwara Ichiura said, narrowing his eyes. For a mage of his level, darkness did not obstruct his vision, and he could see his surroundings very clearly.

The octopus-headed Gracua spoke in a very hoarse voice in broken Japanese: "Fujiwara-kun, you're overthinking it... They will all be bathed in the master's endless glory, and so will you..."

"Of course... Your Excellency General..." Fujiwara Ichiura's eye twitched slightly as he replied with a smile.

Fujiwara Eko, standing behind him, felt a chill run down her spine. She had seen humans whose brains were eaten by octopus monsters and who were used as "vehicles" by them. If she were to become like that, she would rather die.

If he could choose again, Fujiwara Ichiura would not want to meet Graccia, but he wanted to achieve the ultimate goal in his lifetime. It was impossible for him to achieve this by simply launching virus attacks and killing a few innocent civilians. The power of the Hastur Church gave him hope. If he could possess Graccia's power, he would become a god on the spot.

Gracua's discovery of Fujiwara Ichiura was a pleasant surprise. He didn't care what Fujiwara Ichiura might be up to; he was just an "ordinary human." If he wanted to, he could crush him like an ant at any time. At this moment, their goals were similar, so reaching a temporary alliance was harmless.
