Chapter 448: The Calm Before the Storm

If the Ministry of Magic is lost, it means that Diagon Alley and Tumbledown Alley are lost.

All the shops in Diagon Alley are closed, even Gringotts.

However, there are still many shops in Tumbledown Alley that are sneakily open.

But soon, Gringotts opened its doors again. Because the goblins are back!

It's not the goblins in England, it's the goblins in Eastern Europe who have taken refuge in Voldemort. They still have a set of speculations.

The closure of Gringotts will lead to economic turmoil, especially those Death Eaters who are still counting on a fortune, and now they can't see the gold gallons, and they will be deflated.

That won't work, send the goblins and re-establish Gringotts.

A lot of Death Eaters over there are even prieing other people's Gringotts vaults - what's wrong with me saddleing up the Dark Lord and getting some money to spend?!

But it's not something that can be easily opened.

The blind dragon underground alone had made the Death Eaters suffer enough—it had been controlled by a magic bell, but it was taken away by the wizards when they left, and no one should think about it.

For this reason, more than 20 Death Eaters and goblins fought the blind old dragon underground for 50 rounds, and they were beaten to the core.

But then another wave of Death Eaters came, with "professional" guys - "dragon slaying suits", which wizards used to fight fire dragons, and they killed the old dragon, and then they began to pry the safe!

Luckily, Ted didn't trust the goblins, nor did he trust such bank-like institutions, and his money was kept by himself.

As for the others, there must have been heavy losses.

Although the Death Eaters defeated the Ministry of Magic like a bamboo, it was impossible to continue to advance at any cost as before, and the battle was too costly.

Just transferring cannon fodder monsters from abroad, or resurrecting necromantic monsters in the cemetery here in the UK, is not something that can be done in a short period of time.

Besides, the promise of the Dark Lord is already half done, and the shame of being attacked before is washed away, so there is no need to work so hard.

Who likes to play with their lives?

What "seven days to conquer the whole of England"?

That's just because the Dark Lord likes to hear this, that's why he said that, are you really serious?!

We've all laid down the Ministry of Magic, and that's enough. So what is the roll for?

Even Bella, now don't want to forcibly command those Death Eaters who survived the war to fight hard.

After all, the days of getting rich have just begun, and I can't die!

It's not the dawn of victory, it's already dawn.

Before that, he was chased by Dumbledore and the International Federation of Wizards for several years to hide like a mouse, and he was worried about cutting out his heart and bones every day under the hands of the Dark Lord, what am I trying to do?

Isn't it just for now?

If I die now, I don't know who will be cheaper of this benefit!

As for the slogan "Make the Pureblood Family Great Again", just listen to it, after all, there are really not many pure-bloods of the Dark Wizards and Death Eaters under Voldemort's hands now.

The descendants are all consumed~

Voldemort only vaguely felt this question, but he didn't think about it deeply, and he still felt that "everything is competing, and a vibrant scene is right in front of him"!

At the end of any organization, there will be problems with small groups and routes, how can Voldemort understand this?

On the other hand, Grindelwald, who is struggling on the African side, has done a good job in this regard, and his slogan and purpose is "to make a living for the wizarding world in this dangerous world"!

Listen, a majestic sense of epic responsibility arises spontaneously!

Whether it is Dumbledore or Ted, he has always only had a headache about the threat of Voldemort himself, after all, he really has all the skill points related to "fear of death".

The main thing is that you can't kill and don't have a bottom line. The British wizarding world is such a person, and it really can't stand his toss. But those crooked melons and cracked dates, local chickens and dogs under his command are not worth the extra effort at all.

……

After the evacuation of the Ministry of Magic, it was only natural that they were evacuated to the village of Hogsmeade in the Scottish Highlands.

After all, there are only two or three gathering places for wizards in England, and now that the Ministry of Magic has fallen, and Diagon Alley, which is also in London, has also been occupied, there is only one option left in Hogsmeade.

To be honest, it's too chaotic in the village right now.

After all, although there were relevant plans before, there were no very detailed preparations.

Even if I lost, I didn't expect it to be so fast!

Again, crazy criticism of Bella really taught all wizards a lesson - you can't afford to mess with crazy people!

Now Hogsmeade Village has suddenly flooded into three or five hundred wizards from the Ministry of Magic, and the population is about to double in one fell swoop.

And not only the staff of the Ministry of Magic, but also many wizards from the south have also dragged their families to this side.

After all, you can't stay in London and let the Death Eaters clean up, right?

What those grandchildren were like more than ten years ago, everyone knows that they are still intensifying their momentum now!

And to the north, Hogwarts and Hogsmeade are a place that can still give people a sense of security. After all, huddling is also human instinct.

With such a large number of people pouring in, Hogsmeade looked like he was about to open the Quiss, and the streets were filled with tents of all sizes, and the wizards were hurried and hesitant.

The Ministry of Magic was defeated too quickly, and although there was no loss, it was still a big blow to morale.

Although it is said that the Death Eaters will not have the strength to attack in a short time, doesn't the implication of this be that they will have to fight after a long time?

I haven't fought before, will I be able to fight in the future?

Many wizards are pessimistic about the future. And they're not the only ones......

Now nearly a million wizards around the world are watching the battle on the British side through the magic net.

Let's put it this way, if England is also taken by Voldemort and the Death Eaters, what hope is there for the remaining Frank Chickens?

Further west, Spain is even worse. That's it!

Even the Magical Congress of Amerika met overnight to discuss whether or not to do something?

But what does that mean?

Stage 1: We declare that there is nothing; Stage 2: We say that something may happen, but no action should be taken.

Now it's the second stage~

After all, Xiaoying and Yingchan were originally conjugated father and son, and the truth is the same.

While even the ordinary wizards of Amerika had begun to worry that the Death Eaters would continue to invade the Americas after taking Europe, the wizarding officials of the Wizarding Congress felt that this was unfounded...... It's a big deal that Voldemort is coming, and we'll be Death Eaters instead!

The Dark Lord needs someone to manage his territory, right? We're familiar!

What do the Ami wizards who are far away on the other side of the Atlantic think, the British side can no longer take care of it.

Now, Ms. Bones and other officials at all levels are stepping up their efforts to connect with all forces and races in the wizarding world, hoping to unite all the forces that can be united.

In fact, there have been many contacts before, but now that the Ministry of Magic has fallen, what was said before may not be necessarily.

Take the giants, for example!

The number of giants is small, and there are no more than five hundred in the whole of Britain, and they are divided into more than a dozen tribes, scattered in various hidden magical regions.

But before that, the giants were very unfriendly to wizards - they were not very good at brains and admired violence. And it's lazy and greedy, and it's very unreliable.

They themselves sometimes fight each other for power and profit, and there are many casualties.

Just as the Ministry of Magic contacted the Giant Tribe, the Death Eaters sent someone out.

They supported some of the giants who leaned towards them, let them defeat the old chieftain and take the throne, so that they would fall to their side.

And because the Death Eaters have developed a lot of influence in Muggle society, there is really a lot of food and stuff.

When the giants saw the piles of meat and bread, they couldn't take their eyes off them. Eloquent!

In short, enough to choke.

However, according to Voldemort's behavior, it is very embarrassing to buy and win over this kind of thing. If he follows his style, he still needs the Yin Giants to control them with magic.

In addition to giants, there are werewolves, bloodlines (vampires), goblins, centaurs, fishmen, merfolk, boar people, dwarves, gnomes, elves, subhumans, ......

Werewolves don't have to worry too much about this, now werewolves who are half a year younger than Europe, and hundreds of people who are bigger are all living in Muggle society under Ted's arrangement. Some of the furniture factories, shopping malls and security companies.

Ted wiped out the restless ones in a wave of werewolves early, and then solved the problem of werewolves losing control and contagion, and now the werewolves are stable. This is your own combat power.

In terms of the blood clan, there is not much left on the British side. With the exception of a few Bloods, most of the Bloods don't like places that are too prosperous and advanced - they are more old-fashioned and old-fashioned, after all, they are really old.

There are about a hundred of them on the British side, and there are only two or three strong ones who can reach level 16.

I wonder if the Death Eaters will go to them and get them to take sides.

Let's not talk about goblins, the local goblins in Britain have been disabled, and they are all old and weak, women and children. Now the goblins in Gringotts are all from abroad.

The centaurs are more stubborn, not to mention the Death Eaters, even the Ministry of Magic they are not very birds!

Although they really can't beat these two sides, it doesn't affect their stubbornness and recklessness. Just don't accept it!

Not to mention the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest, even if it is from other places, they will not join the Death Eaters, and may even fight with them.

Fish-people live in the water and have always cared about what happens on land. No need to think too much~

The merfolk are in the sea, except for the fact that Ellie the mermaid attends Hogwarts, which causes this one to be biased towards the school, and the other merfolk will not be involved.

As for the boar people, it's hard to say.

It's hard for the boar people to say, and Ted can't say what side they'll choose.

These guys are xenophobic and rarely have contact with the outside world, giving people a very difficult feeling to get along with, even if they take refuge in Voldemort, it is not impossible to get along with the dragon.

But how can I say it, if it is not of my race, its heart will be different.

If Voldemort couldn't even tolerate a Muggle-born wizard, how could a boar man with a boar's head accept it?

The Ministry of Magic can also give them a few hills to govern. If it's Voldemort, these boarmen have to be consumables for magic experiments!

As for the dwarves and gnomes of Hammerkeep, needless to say, even if they can't defeat the migration abroad, they can't get together with the Death Eaters.

Not to mention the elves, those people are more or less high, if they see Voldemort's face, it is estimated that they will have to turn their heads on the spot, and Voldemort must not explode on the spot!

Aesthetically, Voldemort has already broken through the bottom line of elves.

The same goes for subhumans, the Death Eaters are full of malice towards subhumans, a magical race with some animal characteristics. There was a lot of talk about it a decade ago.

In the past few days, Ted has met with representatives or leaders of various forces to discuss cooperation with them, and those magical races have also sent a certain amount of combat power to Hogsmeade.

Although it seems that the Death Eaters are strong, the Ministry of Magic is very disadvantaged, and it is really difficult to win. But everyone also knows that Voldemort can't tolerate them, and they will fight against the water!

Before you know it, Ted is going to be a tall man and hold up the sky to others.

Hogsmeade is about to become a 24-hour construction site, and even the students of Hogwarts are leading the professor to do some magic construction here, build some magic defenses, and enhance some magic buildings, and do their part.

Some are simply children attending classes at school, and parents are building on Hogsmeade outside the school, waiting for a decisive battle with the Death Eaters. Before the fight began, there was a tragic atmosphere.

After all, Ted was born in the Celestial Empire, and has been organizing people to fight a war of public opinion these days.

Although many Death Eaters also play the magic web, the videos and pictures they can see on the forum are very evil and cruel.

Some directly broke the store and took people to raid the house.

Some even have images of other wizards being captured.

In short, show strength and arrogance.

If you don't return to your hometown, it's like a night walk in brocade.

I'm awesome, if I can't show off to others, it's equivalent to just a little bit of awesome, it's very uncomfortable, right?

And Ted will do what he wants, highlighting the arrogance, cruelty, and evil of the Death Eaters!

The Death Eaters only bring destruction and death, and if the world falls into their hands, it will only wait for the end!

Therefore, regardless of the north and south, and people regardless of Ireland, England, or Scotland, they should all take up the magic wand to defend our homeland and our lives!

Think of your wives and children, can you imagine the day when Death Eaters break down doors and take them to unknown places and torture them?

To resist the Death Eaters is to defend your family!

From now on, anyone who dares to fight the Death Eaters will have the right to kill legally. You can all get help in the ideal township!

Ted opened up some exchange functions (some props, potions, magic guides), and some auxiliary functions (temporary magic supplementation, covering up traces, opening the whole map~)

In just three days, more than a thousand wizards exchanged online, which also caused great trouble for the reign of the Death Eaters.

This is a vast sea of people's struggle!

Voldemort's invasion of Britain with foreign wizards and monsters was naturally unacceptable. Even some of the traitors who had been buried before did not dare to advocate surrender now, otherwise they would be really beaten!

A lot of moles find that their work is not good now!

It looks like the Dark Lord is going to win, but it's really hard to work right now, especially since Bella's crazy keeps posting some.

Now what are you doing to be watched by a hundred people, say something A group of people are looking at you in strange eyes, what do you dare to do?

What? Let me assassinate the Minister of Magic?! I?!

For so many years, Mader has not given you any benefits, I brought my own dog food to work for you, and in turn you threatened me, I will let you go to death?

Are you human?! Brute! Brute~

However, there are still some Voldemort people in Hogsmeade Village, and in Slytherin House before, there were some parents who had dealings with Death Eaters, and even some people in the family were Death Eaters.

When Umbridge was in school, there were also a group of opportunists who chose to follow her.

In this situation, you expect all to be united, and there is not a single lackey traitor who surrenders, so you should be heaven?

But it's useful for these people to keep it.

The Death Eaters had indeed suffered heavy losses in the previous terrible battle, and even their own people were terrified.

Now Bella wants to do something, and a group of people drag her back, and she is worried that this madman will have a hot brain and will play with her life.

So there was only a little friction between the two sides, and the squad of wizards began to pick up their hair in the vast area north of London and south of the Scottish Highlands.

You go to arrest a wizard, I have already found out through the ideal township, and there is a team of wizards to snipe you and rescue people.

You go and contact the giants, and I'll make trouble for you halfway.

You deliver supplies, and I'll blow them up for you!

Because of the existence of the magic net, the whole map was opened to fight the fog of war, and the Death Eaters suffered greatly.

There has been no progress for more than ten days, and the Death Eaters who dare to go out and do something will definitely be killed by a sneak attack.

However, more than a dozen countries in Eastern Europe are also sending a steady stream of dark wizards and cannon fodder monsters to this side, and there are even many new necromantic monsters made by Voldemort on a whim.

After all, those Death Eaters were good at speculating about the Dark Lord's heart, and Voldemort really stopped urging after winning the battle of the Ministry of Magic, and seemed to be complacent.

He wants to cat and mouse now, play slowly?!

……

At school, Ted sees a lot of people every day, and on top of that, he's communicating with Neville.

Seeing the resumption of the war, Neville is definitely one of the key points.

And once Voldemort enters the battle, it will be the final battle, and Neville will be an indispensable character.

And he still has a problem in his body that needs to be solved.

One evening, Neville was called by Ted to the school's bridge, watching the students in the distance eat dinner and hurry out of the school to build the magical defense of Hogsmeade Village, and the two did not speak for a long time.

When I was in school, I never thought that there would be such a day - so that students who did not graduate would go to war! Voldemort is damned!

Ted suddenly spoke, "Neville, I remember when you were in school, you said that you were looked at by Snape and the scar on your forehead was very painful, and it turned out that it was because of Professor Quirrell......"

Neville looked at Ted strangely, wondering why he had suddenly talked about what happened six years ago. But instinct made him a little nervous, because in the first place, the face on the back of Professor Quirrell's head was Voldemort.

It was also he who held down that face and turned Professor Quirrell into ashes.

Why?!

Now Neville is already a young man, young and promising, and has commanded his classmates to achieve great results in several battles, charging in front and retreating in the rear, and is very trusted by his peers. It's not the silly round-faced little fat man at the beginning.

He naturally thinks of a lot of things.

Ted said slowly: "There is a connection between you and Voldemort, a very important connection......
