Chapter 204 Raid on Malfoy Manor
Ronan never thought that this would be like this. Why are the always quiet and honest giants following the Death Eaters to resist the Ministry of Magic at all costs? This is too ironic.
So much so that when Ronan took the investigation results to find Dumbledore angrily, the good-looking man looked unbelievable.
He held the information he received from Ronan in one hand, and the other hand held the documents signed with the giants that he had been in the past, and kept muttering: "This is a sin, this is a sin, why is this? Why is this..."
"Go and call Arthur..."
After a while, Arthur Weasley came to the minister's office and saw two people with serious atmosphere.
"Professor, is there anything wrong with you asking me to come?"
Dumbledore put the intelligence on the table and threw it to Arthur, saying, "This time, I want you to call me Minister."
Arthur's face darkened and took the information and saw it. His heart slowly sank to the bottom. He understood what his mission was today. Was he just here to be a punching bag?
"Professor, no, Your Excellency Minister, this agreement was signed by us in 1710 and it has been three hundred years since then..."
"So for a full three hundred years, has no one confirmed the situation of the giants?" Dumbledore asked.
Arthur had nothing to say. Who made him the director of the Magic Law Enforcement Department now? Although it was not a problem he created, it was indeed the area he managed. He felt that the previous ministers and directors of the Ministry of Magic were really good. The bombs buried three hundred years ago were not taken seriously for such a long time. This time it was so good that it exploded.
"Isn't this what your Magic Law Enforcement Department wants to check? Check the execution effect of the Magic Contract..."
Arthur didn't know what to say, after all, there was no way to hold the parties involved accountable now. The person handling the case probably didn't know how long he had passed away.
"Go and retrieve the relevant files!"
Arthur stood aside and waited tremblingly. After coming over for a while, a Dumbledore's assistant placed a stack of files in front of Dumbledore.
Ronan also leaned aside and looked at these obviously fewer paper documents and asked, "Is that only a little bit?"
The assistant smiled embarrassedly and said, "The Ministry of Magic Document Saving Room has to re-check the documents every ten years, and every fifty years documents with important levels below level A will be destroyed. Every one hundred years, all documents that have expired will be destroyed. Now there is only a simple description of these documents..."
"Beautiful job!" Luo Nan looked at the assistant, but did not make things difficult for others, but just checked the contents on the document.
As expected, the wizard who presided over the war, negotiations and contracts with the Giants, Yurik Gamp, then Minister of Magic, had been dead for more than two hundred years.
Of course, the first minister must have signed this agreement for the sake of the magic world, but his follow-up executors are really worse than the other. Judging from the general work log, the Ministry of Magic since Atmesia Luvkin has almost stopped talking about the issue of giants, as if they have forgotten the giants.
Now, it is impossible to take responsibility if you want to pursue it. After all, too long has passed, and almost no person in charge can be found, so it is impossible to take out a scapegoat.
The Ministry of Magic can only be responsible for it, but the problem is that the collective responsibility system means that the collective is not responsible. Everyone can see how disgusting this system design is, and it would be strange if the giants are satisfied.
"So what about the Magical Biology Management and Control Department? There is no statement there?"
After a while, Director Barron Batcht came to Dumbledore's office.
"Now, take a look at the document you have in your hand and tell me your thoughts."
That's what Dumbledore asked for.
Barron looked at the documents, and the more he looked, the more he became frightened. He felt colder. Finally, he put the documents on the table, then lowered his head and said, "This is my work mistake. Professor, I am willing to take some responsibility."
"Be borne? Who can afford it?" Dumbledore asked: "Just your identity? Even if you kill you to the sacrificial flag, it will be useless..."
When Barron heard Dumbledore say this, he became even more desperate. Now he is not just a failure to protect his status, but his life may not be guaranteed. He can already imagine a large number of officials from the Ministry of Magic being killed by Dumbledore and asked the giant for forgiveness.
"This is not just your sin..."
"Hey?" Barron did not expect Dumbledore to suddenly change his tone and calm down again.
"The effect of introducing some people as scapegoats to calm the resentment of giants is not great. The main problem now is how to truly contact the giants."
Dumbledore pinched his nose bridge and murmured: "It doesn't matter what you say, what is important depends on how to do it. Ronan, what's going on in the northern battlefield?"
"It has been basically controlled, and there are only sporadic fleeing werewolf, Death Eater and Dementor. If the Death Eater attacks the north again, our Aurors can reach anywhere within ten minutes, except for the Muggle city."
"Then I'll ask you next. As for contacting the giants, you and Hagrid should work harder."
Ronan: "Okay."
Faced with this situation, Ronan was helpless. He could only say whether Hagrid could make some progress as soon as possible, or catch some giants here so that they could understand their feelings and reason.
The situation in northern Britain gradually eased. After receiving strong help from the Order of the Phoenix and Ronan, the Aurors under Ronan quickly basically quelled the Death Eater riots in several wizard towns and villages in the north. The Death Eater was hit and detained in a newly chosen secret prison. As for the werewolf, they were educated and put it back. The Death Eater was very simple and executed directly.
In the month when Dumbledore was elected acting minister of the Ministry of Magic, most of the magic world returned to basic stability and stability.
Then Ronan began to summon Auror's forces in the north to engage in a decisive battle with the Death Eaters in this area and attack Malfoy Manor.
It is not a secret that the Death Eaters entrenched in Malfoy Manor, and the location of Malfoy Manor is not a secret. The reason why the attack on Malfoy Manor was only considered by the fact that the Death Eaters' escape was made after the battle in the north was basically quelled.
Wars in the magic world are not like wars in the real world. Most of the wizards here will change their shapes and the production of door keys is not very difficult, so the previous war forms that Ronan experienced cannot be seen here.
There is no encirclement or breakthrough, basically it is raids and encounters. For example, the Death Eaters who escaped from the Ministry of Magic in the previous chapter. In a world without magic, unless there is a very elite special forces to support them, these spies have no way out, but here they can just rely on their own strength to run out.
So it is basically useless to surround the Malfoy Manor. All Ronan has to do is to attack here as fast as possible, kill, arrest as many Death Eaters as possible, and then compress their area of activity little by little until they can no longer make any big waves.
In this battle, Ronan mobilized all the troops he could gather, and the number of Aurors participating in the battle was close to forty, reaching an astonishing crowd of thirty-five. It was really crowded with heavy troops and a large army was approaching.
Ronan said that he had never fought such a wealthy battle in his life.
Ronan: "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense! I've never commanded this war, everything is the credit of the great Dumbledore..."
So when Ronan entered Malfoy Manor surrounded by his men, he did not fluctuate in his heart, and he even wanted to laugh a little.
"I didn't expect that I, Luo Nan, would have to participate in such a battle that is worse than village wars. If everyone here hadn't been able to do magic, I even thought that the two families in our village had a conflict..."
This is how Ronan commented on this battle.
The Death Eaters guarding the Malfoy Manor gathered the powerful strength of the Ministry of Magic's Aurors, gathered more than forty people, plus werewolf and dementor auxiliary soldiers, but in terms of lineup, it was even more luxurious than the Aurors.
However, Aurors are all elites. They fight for years and can cut their combat power from the street to the end of the street, and their overall strength will open the entire street of Death Eaters. Werewolfs rarely know magic and can only engage in melee raids. If they play defensive battles, werewolfs do not have any advantage at all. Dementors are even worse. They have obvious weaknesses. As long as there are wizards who can use the guardian spirit, they cannot have any impact on the Auror troops.
So after two hours of fierce battle, the Aurors occupied the entire Malfoy Manor at the cost of three deaths and four serious injuries.
Their results were even more fruitful, killing five werewolfs, four dementors and four Death Eaters. In addition, the werewolf and Death Eaters captured had nearly thirty people. Although most of them werewolfs, it can also be said to have severely damaged the Death Eaters' arrogance.
When Lucius Malfoy, who was living in seclusion in Hogwarts, returned to his home, he cried, and the entire Malfoy Manor was almost completely destroyed by a fierce magical exchange of fire.
The manor was in a mess, and the lawn that was supposed to be flat was full of mounds of soil. It was the ruins of temporary walls created by the warring parties using transforming techniques; and the originally gorgeous fountain was completely broken, and fragments of sculptures and artworks were everywhere.
What made Lucius most distressed was his property. The accumulation of the Malfoy family for hundreds of years was basically stripped away by these Death Eaters to resell money and supplies, and even the gold foil posted on the wall was not spared.
Lucius was crying but what comforted him most was that his wife, Narcisa, was fine. People found her in the dungeon of the Malfoy family, and Bellatrix did not do anything to this person.
Afterwards, Ronan commented: "Maybe it's that there is still a last trace of family affection..."
