Chapter 392 The Battle of Hogwarts
Upon hearing the last sentence, both the Ghost King and the Ghost Army showed expressions of joy and relief.
As a gentle breeze blew by, the ghost army vanished completely, like a puff of smoke.
The soldiers and people of Gondor looked at Aragorn with adoration and reverence, knowing that it was this ranger who had brought the ghostly army and saved Gondor and their lives.
"Aragorn! Aragorn!" Everyone was chanting Aragorn's name, even Faramir was chanting it.
Only Denethor II, the Regent of Gondor, standing atop the highest point of the White City, looked at Aragorn, who was surrounded by all the Gondorian soldiers in the very center of the city, with a very gloomy and dejected expression.
While the war was raging in Gondor, Rohan was also fighting a large army of Mordor.
As soon as the army of Mordor invaded the borders of Rohan, King Theodore led the Rohan cavalry to prepare for battle and immediately sent his son Theojard to Hogwarts for help via the fireplace.
Rohan is weaker overall than Gondor, and the Mordor army that invaded Rohan this time is the largest in history, also led by a Nazgûl and a group of dragons.
Rohan had no confidence in resisting such a massive army of Mordor, so they had no choice but to ask for help.
Rohan borders Isengard to the west. If Rohan is destroyed, the Mordor army can easily advance and threaten the safety of Isengard.
Therefore, Dui naturally wouldn't stand idly by, and when Prince Theojed of Rohan came to ask for help, he agreed to provide assistance.
Moreover, unlike Gondor, they cannot send only a few people to provide assistance.
After all, Gondor was able to summon an army of ghosts to resolve the crisis because they knew Aragorn was going there.
But Rohan has no such aid, and if Hogwarts doesn't step in to help, Rohan may very well be destroyed.
However, Duy did not send Hogwarts' forces to provide assistance. Instead, he sent 10,000 Black Barbarian warriors living at the Rohan Pass to aid the Kingdom of Rohan.
At the same time, one hundred dragon tamers from the dragon farms near Eisengard were dispatched to provide support, riding ten fire dragons.
These dragon trainers frequently deal with dangerous fire dragons and are no less powerful than Aurors.
The ten-headed fire dragon is one of the very few fire dragons that has been successfully tamed.
Unlike those untamed, temperamental fire dragons that eventually become ingredients for potions.
These tamed fire dragons became partners of the dragon trainers at the dragon farm, assisting them in protecting the safety of the dragon farm.
They might even be rented by Gringotts to guard the Gringotts underground vault.
Meanwhile, the reinforcements were led by Brog, the former leader of the Black Barbarians and now the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts.
Outside Edoras, the capital of Rohan, the allied forces of Rohan and the Black Barbarians clashed fiercely with the army of Mordor.
Brog, who led the reinforcements, fought against the Ringwraiths riding fallen flying beasts.
Brog, as Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for thousands of years, has long been extremely proficient in the Dark Arts and Defense Against the Dark Arts, and is one of the most powerful wizards under Duimore.
In the battle against the Ringwraiths, he was in no way at a disadvantage.
Although Mordor's army outnumbered Rohan and the Black Barbarians by several times, the situation was reversed with the addition of a hundred dragon trainers and ten dragons.
Aside from fighting the Ringwraiths alongside Professor Brog, the dragon tamers primarily dealt with dozens of dragons.
Fallen flying beasts and dark creatures like ogres that ordinary people cannot deal with.
While the battle of Rohan raged fiercely, Hogwarts also faced its own war.
Hundreds of thousands of Orc and wight armies, under the command of the Witch-king of Angmar, the leader of the Ringwraiths, marched south from the ruins of the Kingdom of Angmar north of the Misty Mountains, heading towards Hogwarts under a sky full of dark, overcast clouds.
The Ministry of Magic declared a state of emergency, and all the Aurors from the Aurors were mobilized and assembled at the border of Hogwarts territory.
Hogsmeade and Brie were placed under martial law in preparation for an enemy invasion.
Only inside Hogwarts Castle, seemingly unaffected by the outside world, students continue to study and live within the castle.
With a deafening roar, the enormous golden dragon Smaug awoke from its slumber. Amidst the gasps and awe of the students and professors, Smaug spread its wings and flew away from the castle, heading north.
The northern boundary of Hogwarts is the Northhill Mountains, where Fornost, the capital of the Kingdom of Asedan, once stood.
The Aurors gathered here, ready to fight the invading army of the Witch-King of Angmar, keeping the war firmly outside the borders and ensuring the safety of their territory.
"Here it comes!" An Auror riding a broom flew in from a distance, loudly alerting his colleagues.
"Prepare for battle!" Commander Aurora shouted in a loud voice.
Instantly, all the Aurors became serious, gazing at the dark clouds in the northern sky, which were moving southward like a night sky, and raised their wands.
When the dark clouds in the sky spread over the Aurors.
In the distance, amidst the rolling hills, appeared a dense, seemingly endless army of Orks.
The number of Orks far exceeds that of those who invaded Gondor and Rohan, reaching as many as half a million. Among them are various troll races such as cave trolls, mountain trolls, and snow trolls, which are enormous in size and incredibly strong, numbering in the tens of thousands.
It's suspected that the Witch-King of Angmar plundered all the ogres in the Misty Mountains to have such a massive number.
Orcs do not pose a significant threat to the Aurors.
However, ogres not only have strong magic resistance, but also great strength. They can lift boulders weighing thousands of pounds to smash people, and they also have giant clubs in their hands. If you are accidentally hit by one, you will die. Ordinary offensive spells are not very effective against ogres.
Therefore, upon seeing so many trolls, the Aurors became even more vigilant and serious.
Following the Orcs and the troll army came the army of undead shrouded in mist.
The corpse demon is even more dangerous than the man-eating demon. Not only is its body as hard as steel, but it is also extremely fast. Ordinary people cannot react in time before being attacked by it.
If you are scratched by a ghoul or injured by a ghoul's weapon, you will be cursed. If you are not treated in time, you will be transformed into a ghoul and become the puppet of the Witch King of Angmar.
The Aurors Apparated, forming a long line of people hundreds of meters apart, using the boundary line as a dividing line.
The Aurors raised their wands in unison and cast spells, beams of white light shooting out from their wands and forming a white light curtain that continued to spread.
Ultimately, a light curtain barrier stretching for several kilometers straight into the sky was formed on the boundary line, separating the north and south.
The dark clouds in the sky were also cut in two by the light curtain.
The Orc army ignored the light barrier, roaring as they charged down the mountain, brandishing their weapons and attacking the Aurors.
The Aurors held their wands but made no move, silently watching the Orcs charge.
But just as the Orks were fantasizing about killing these wizards and revealing their ferocious smiles, their bodies turned to ashes the instant they passed through the light barrier.
Oak, who was behind, saw this scene, looked terrified, and tried to stop.
But the Orks, who were also rushing forward, didn't give them a chance to stop. They were all pushed into the barrier and instantly turned to ashes.
