The black figure landed not far from the Muggle house where the pure-bloods gathered like a ghost under the sun.
This desolate Muggle residence had been neglected for a long time, and part of its exterior was already covered in vegetation. A few crooked trees in front of the house were twisted and looked like grayish-black pythons dancing in the night. The red paint on the walls had darkened due to the passage of time. It looked like old blood mixed with dark red under the sun. Coupled with the shadows cast by the surrounding trees through the window lattice, it looked very eerie.
Albert made a few gestures and gave the order to check the equipment for the last time. The Aura obeyed and checked the potions on their belts. They did not use the Phantom Spell in this operation because they were representing the Ministry of Magic. They only needed to ensure that the target did not escape before the raid.
Penello and his team, who were holding a flying broom, did not say much. They all looked down at the temporary Silent Shoe Cover on the bottom of their dragon-skin boots. As the other two teams had practiced CQB tactics at the front door and the backyard, Albert arranged them to break in from the roof of the house. They also needed to make sure that no one in the house could escape by flying.
This accessory helped Penello's team to hide their footsteps on the roof before the other teams started to move. Although the Silent Spell was more effective, it was often dispelled by the anti-spell traps that the wizards set up on the roof in advance. This kind of physical device could effectively avoid this.
After the Aura gave their feedback, Albert raised his L-shaped arm and waved his palm downward. The teams that had been divided quickly put on their Raven Beak Masks and began to move towards their starting point. Penello led his elite team, except for Viktor, and flew into the sky on their brooms. They would make a reverse U-shaped trajectory and land directly on the roof. When the people below began to move, they would launch a surprise attack from the roof.
Long Eye, who had temporarily left the Prime Minister's place, did not directly participate in the battle. He perched on the top of the church tower in the village not far from the house. He occupied the high vantage point and coldly monitored the scene. He also kept in touch with Commander Albert so that he could immediately lead his team to provide firepower support and monitor the scene when needed. He also acted according to the situation to restrict the target's movement space.
In Muggle's house, there were many pureblood families attending the gathering. Due to the tense situation after the explosion, the clan leaders had to be careful and bring enough people with them to the gathering.
Muggle's house, which had not been cast with the Traceless Contraction Spell, was a little crowded due to the number of guards and servants brought by each family. In fact, the guards of each family were more focused on guarding against each other's guards than on guarding against the outside world. Only then did Merlin know if some of the pureblood families were planning to use this gathering to capture their distant relatives as gifts in an attempt to make peace with Harris.
However, as professional guards trained by large families, when most of their teammates were focused on their peers, they did not give up on monitoring the outside world. Every family had tacitly assigned some people to monitor the outside world under such circumstances. Suddenly, the guards in charge of this, no matter which family they belonged to, turned their attention to the front door. Although they did not spend the effort to cast the Traceless Contraction Spell and redecorate the house, they were not careless when it came to security. They had cast multiple protective spells in the courtyard, such as earplugs, Peace Guard, and so on.
Now, they were being activated and dispelled. Magic power was activated and ripples of magic power spread out. This meant that the Muggle Expulsion Spell they had cast was not ineffective. The intruder was not a Muggle.
"Alert, there's an intruder." A scar-faced man shouted.
This made the guards pull out their wands and move closer to the window to check. They had malicious smiles on their faces, but when they saw the intruder, they immediately retreated and avoided the window.
"Aura! An Aura is here to search! "
"The lackeys of the Ministry of Magic have such a good grasp of our movements?"
"There must be a spy! Harris has planted a spy among the Unknowns! "
The servants began to shout when they heard the news. Muggle's house was like boiling water that was thrown into a stone. The professional guards trained by the family had recovered from their initial shock.
Scarface pulled the bow tie on his brown uniform and growled a few words. The other wizards in the room, who were wearing the same robes as Scarface, began to cast Phantom Transference and prepared to go upstairs to inform their masters to leave. However, just like the other guards who tried to do the same, they were shocked to find that they couldn't use Phantom Transference at all. It was as if they had been imprisoned and couldn't use Phantom Transference at all.
"Damn it, they've cast Anti-Phantom Transfiguration again!"
"It's just a trick that works. It will take some time to break our defense. Use the backup plan."
The guards did not panic. Apparently, they had predicted this situation in the previous simulation training.
The Borks took out their flying brooms from their Traceless retractable pockets and flew upstairs. The Bostel guards had to rush upstairs with their legs. At the same time, they took out their pocket watches, teacups, woolen hats, and other random things. They began to check the nearest key to the pocket watch. For this gathering, they did not declare it. Instead, they illegally used the Mantos Spell to make a lot of keys to ensure that they had a way to escape every once in a while.
However, in order to show off their strength, they brought a lot of servants. The Muggle stairs were crowded in an instant.
Hearing the rushing and shouting noises from outside, the door of the upstairs meeting room was pulled open. The pure-bloods inside came out to check the situation. The concave corridor on the stairs was soon filled with people.
The guard of Servin's family rushed up the stairs and surrounded him. The mere mention of "Auror is here" was enough to make him pull at his goatee in a panic. What was even more unexpected was that not long after the people who had fallen behind rushed upstairs, a loud noise came from the other side of the room.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Hiss!
There was a heavy knock on the door, and the guards drew in a cold breath. Auror had unlocked his defenses faster than the guards had expected.
With a loud crack and a clang, the big wooden door was smashed open like firewood. The knocking on the door was fake but necessary because there was no time to open the door. Moreover, the Auros did not use the exquisite lockpicking spell 'Open Door Araho' which could open the door automatically. Instead, they used the ancient spell 'Open Sesame', which was more crude and direct.
Albert stood at the front and strode in. Albert raised his head with the bird's beak mask and glanced at the wizards upstairs coldly.
Although the guards could not see Albert's eyes, no one dared to look him in the eyes. Victor and one of his assistants followed closely behind and formed a small triangular formation. There were not many Aura who entered later, but they also fanned out.
The pure-blooded Autarchs and the servants who had gathered upstairs almost filled up all three sides of the fence. Under the light, the wands in their hands seemed to gleam coldly. Although they had the advantage in numbers, the Autarchs downstairs stood tall and proud.
"We are the armed Aura of the Ministry of Magic's Aura Office. We are here to arrest the suspect!" Albert had pulled down his mask and hung it around his neck. The expression on his face was something that no one had ever seen before. It was as if he was an ice sculpture, a machine that carried out the will of the Ministry of Magic without any personal feelings. "From now on, everyone, throw your wands on the ground, put your hands on your head, and squat down! I don't care if you are a pure-blooded, a guard, or a servant! The Aura will kill anyone who dares to resist! "
