When the people around saw this scene, everyone's mouths involuntarily rounded into an O shape.
"Everyone can co into the house. I will explain the points to pay attention to when clearing obstacles on each floor, and you must perform cornering observation when passing through each area." Alan ignored everyone's expressions, waved his hand to beckon them in, and gave targeted explanations for various areas on the first floor.
During his explanation, a wizard raised his hand and asked, "What do you an by cornering observation?" After the previous explanation and the recent demonstration, this wizard's attitude toward Alan had undergone a drastic change, so he was very respectful when asking.
"Cornering observation is a conventional tactical movent used in indoor or alley combat. It involves aiming and slowly changing angles while moving, in a wand-ready stance, to gradually ensure the safety of spaces within sight, such as rooms, windows, and corridors. In this operation, because it involves a large number of rooms, everyone must master this tactical movent proficiently. And when one person is clearing obstacles, the other wizard must be responsible for guarding their rear, and also constantly hold a Silent Charm, keeping it in an activated state. This is partly to ensure an imdiate reaction if a threat appears, and partly to prevent the other wizard from forgetting to activate the charm when casting a spell," Alan explained to everyone with great patience.
Conventional tactics? Why had they never heard of it? The German Aurors looked at the British Aurors beside them with so confusion, and those British wizards were also completely bewildered, because they had never heard of it either.
"Since you've prepared this Silent Charm, why don't you get so more powerful items and silence the entire building from the start? That way, we wouldn't have to activate it every ti we encounter an enemy," Moody asked, still sowhat puzzled after hearing Alan's instructions. He knew Alan's thods; if he could silence a small area, he could naturally expand the coverage.
"Are you an idiot?" Before Alan could answer, Andre, who was beside him, rolled his eyes at Moody. "If the entire building were silenced, what if there were wizards still awake at night who suddenly noticed the absence of sound around them? Wouldn't that expose us?"
"Exactly." Alan also nodded in agreent. "For this Silent Charm, I specifically adjusted the output power, so the affected area is only within the current room. Additionally, besides eliminating sound, the Silent Charm can also eliminate so not-too-large vibrations. So, as long as no structural damage is caused to the house, it can eliminate the commotion of spell-casting indoors."
Everyone nodded in sudden understanding. So, if this charm was activated in a single room, as long as they didn't break down the walls, they basically wouldn't be discovered.
"When attacking this type of wizard dormitory, we must ensure clear objectives and high operational efficiency, so the principle of rapid maneuver must be established during the operation. This ans that as long as we confirm there's no one outside the room, we must reach the front of each guest room in the shortest possible ti."
With that, Alan began to demonstrate again, simultaneously increasing his speed, ensuring sufficient efficiency during cornering observation. When he moved to a corridor on the second floor, there were four guest rooms on both sides. Alan then stopped again. "After reaching the room door, what I need to do is perform control through the wall. This is where another item I prepared for everyone cos in."
With that, Alan took out a thin tal card from his person and said, "This is a hypnotic amulet. Once activated, it will release a hypnotic gas sufficient to cover a guest room after two seconds. Humans, including wizards, will fall into a state of sleep three seconds after inhaling this gas. When you move to the outside of the room door, what you need to do is activate it, then slide it through the door crack. I specifically flattened it for ease of operation; its overall thickness is similar to a card. And after inserting the cards into the four guest rooms, you don't need to worry about this floor; you can directly proceed to the third floor and repeat the sa process."
"Is it that simple?" Andre, who was beside him, took the tal card from Alan's hand with so curiosity. "Besides making people fall asleep, does this hypnotic amulet have any other side effects?"
Alan smiled slightly. "Don't worry, this charm, to put it simply, is just a small item enchanted with an Extension Charm, storing concentrated vaporized Sleeping Potion inside. The effect, besides making people lose consciousness for twelve hours, will not cause any other harm to the body." With that, he specifically scanned the people around him. "If anyone is interested, I can demonstrate it on the spot, but I don't know if anyone is willing to be a guinea pig. Of course, I will imdiately give you the antidote afterward."
Upon hearing this, the wizards exchanged glances, and then a German Auror and a British Auror volunteered, stepping forward. They were quite curious about the practical effect of this equipnt.
"Good, please enter this room, lie on the bed, and pretend you're resting," Alan said with a smile, opening the door in front of him and then gesturing for them to enter.
The two Aurors looked at each other, then resolutely walked into the room. There happened to be two wooden beds inside, and the two lay down straight. However, though they were pretending to rest, both still kept their eyes wide open, clearly wanting to personally witness the effect of the charm Alan spoke of.
Alan didn't mind. After closing the door, he faced the rest of the group. "Alright, now I'll activate the charm." As soon as the words fell, Alan infused a small amount of magic into the card in his hand. "Next, I'll slide it into the door crack within two seconds."
With a whoosh, Alan bent down and quickly pushed the card into the door. Imdiately after, he counted down three numbers in front of everyone. "3... 2... 1, control complete!"
With that, he opened the door again, and at this mont, a strong fresh scent suddenly emanated from the room. Alan casually flicked the wand in his hand, and a gust of air enveloped all the air in the room and carried it away. And the two people in the room had already fallen into a deep sleep.
"This... the effect of this charm is actually so obvious?" Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw this; they had just seen the two of them looking full of energy.
Andre, still sowhat unconvinced, walked into the room and pushed the sleeping German Auror several tis, then found that the other person had completely passed out.
Alan smiled slightly. He had infused concentrated hypnotic gas into the hypnotic amulet; it had cost him thousands of Galleons just to brew these potions, so of course the effect was good. At the sa ti, the most difficult part was not actually vaporizing the potion and making this card-style item, but how to prevent these concentrated gases from leaking during the process of infusing them into the alchemy card. This was Alan's unique technique; he even made a special device to achieve this. So, although the principle of the hypnotic amulet was simple, no one else could make it.
"Don't worry, just a little antidote will wake them up." Alan quickly stepped forward to stop Andre, who was already preparing to splash water on the Auror's face. Then he took out a potion bottle from his pouch and used a dropper to extract so, dripping a few drops into each of their mouths. Only then did the two Aurors slowly regain consciousness.
"We... did we fall asleep?" One of the newly awakened Aurors shook his head, then vaguely realized what had just happened.
"That's right, exactly three seconds after Alan deployed the hypnotic amulet, you two completely fell asleep. I even shook you for a long ti without any reaction," Andre said, looking at the two Aurors. "Tell about your previous feelings, did you notice anything unusual?"
"Unusual?" The two Aurors looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison. "Forget unusual, we didn't even realize we had fallen asleep."
Seeing how potent the effect of this hypnotic amulet was, the surrounding wizards began to whisper among themselves, and Alia couldn't help but praise, "Truly remarkable. With this equipnt, dealing with those wizards will be much simpler."
"Indeed." Alan also nodded, not denying it. "I've tried it before; from breaking down the door and clearing obstacles to deploying the charms in all guest rooms, following the standard procedure, it only takes five minutes to control a dormitory building."
"What? Five minutes? Doesn't that an anyone can do it?" The surrounding crowd exclaid in surprise after hearing Alan's words.
"As I said, this is a foolproof tactical movent I developed, but even so, everyone must master the operational procedures. The most crucial part is dealing with unexpected situations, especially considering there might be people who aren't in their rooms after lights out. So from now on, everyone present will undergo practical training in this simulated dormitory until you are familiar with this set of tactical movents," Alan said calmly after looking around.
"Practical training?" Andre nodded in sudden realization upon hearing this. "I see, so today's gathering isn't to start the operation imdiately, but rather a practical preparation before the operation, right?"
"That's right." Alan nodded with satisfaction. "Soon, I will divide you into groups, and then you will conduct exercises as a team. At the sa ti, your simulated practical combat will also have a passing exam, which Hog will be responsible for. If the operational procedures are not up to standard, you will have to practice here until you are proficient."
Everyone felt a bit strange when they heard about this tactical movent that even a novice could complete, and Alan even wanted them to take a passing exam, with the examiner being that dog.
