Senior officials from more than a dozen different magical governments looked solemn, trying their best to digest the bad news they had just received:
A group of unidentified dark wizards took advantage of the emptiness inside the Ministry of Magic to raid the location of the Ministry of Magic.
Judging from the successive alarms, almost all the locations of the Ministry of Magic have fallen. This is something that has never happened in the magical world.
"The situation is now clear. We are facing an indiscriminate, extremely despicable and heinous terrorist attack." Atif, the Auror Director of the Turkish Ministry of Magic, gritted his teeth and said, "This is a provocation against the entire European wizarding world. , we must fight back immediately!"
The French Minister of Magic exchanged glances with the Italian Minister of Magic, but did not echo Atif's words.
"There is no denying that this is a very bad night, and I even doubt that we will be kicked out tomorrow - but the problem is that now may not be the worst time. Have you ever thought about a situation where more than ten people are captured at the same time? Is this mysterious force from the Ministry of Magic capable of clearing us out when we launch a 'counterattack'?" The French Minister of Magic looked at Fudge and asked Atif with his eyes on him.
"So we need to unite, rely on a certain magic government as the base camp, and concentrate our strength to fight back one by one."
Atif said in a deep voice, turning his head to look at the Minister of Magic of Armenia.
"Mr. Katz, do you have any suggestions?"
Following Atif's inquiry, all the wizards present turned their attention to the wizard standing on the edge of the crowd. Although the Armenian Ministry of Magic is the real "landlord", as a weak Ministry of Magic, they have no regard for this kind of magic. I don’t have much experience in multi-country talks.
"Well--"
Kaz, the Minister of Magic of Armenia, did not feel comfortable with this situation.
His eyes wandered slightly for a few seconds, and finally fell on Cornelius Fudge.
"Mr. Fudge, judging from the information we have received so far, those 'thugs' are most likely the subordinates of your dark wizard in the UK - you have the most experience fighting them. What do you think? Those 'Death Eaters' ', and how powerful is that 'Voldemort'? As well as these actions tonight, do you have any additional news? What does that guy named 'Voldemort' want to do when he suddenly comes back -"
"Hiss - we usually don't say that name, we usually say 'Mysterious Man' or 'Dark Lord'."
Cornelius Fudge took a breath of air and shivered unnaturally.
He squeezed the bowler hat in his hand awkwardly, his expression looking particularly bad.
"In fact, the 'Mysterious Man' has reappeared a few months ago - this is a secret of the International Federation of Wizards. Oh, the gentlemen of the Russian Ministry of Magic also know this. He once worked in the Magic Commercial Street in Russia. He has caused chaos, but we are still tracing his purpose..."
"So you knew a few months ago that an extremely dangerous dark wizard has returned and is dormant in Europe?!"
Castel, the French Minister of Magic, narrowed his eyes and asked in a bad tone.
"Why did we never hear about your manhunt plans?!"
"Let me explain—"
Amelia Bones pushed up her monocle and took the initiative to answer on behalf of Cornelius Fudge:
"This is a decision made by the International Confederation of Wizards, the United Kingdom, Russia, and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic in Ukraine after reassessing the threat of 'You-Know-Who' - he is more dangerous than any previous Dark Lord, and not just because of his
The most important thing is that there is reliable evidence that he has created a large number of Horcruxes in the past ten years... In a sense, he is now immortal——"
"Therefore, before we find a way to completely kill the 'mysterious man', a large-scale wanted manhunt will only spread panic."
"Think about it, a 'Dark Lord' who is inhumane and unkillable... The only thing we can do is to attack his followers - they are called 'Death Eaters'. But judging from the current situation, Europe
The scale of the 'Death Eaters' is obviously beyond anyone's imagination."
"Oh my god, you actually hid this kind of thing until now?!" Officials from the Ministry of Magic from various countries were shocked and angry.
Even if you don’t understand what a Horcrux is, the guy named Voldemort is much more dangerous than Grindelwald based on his “immortality” alone. What makes all the magic government officials even more angry is that if it weren’t for tonight
The situation is out of control, and the British Ministry of Magic seems to be planning to keep it a secret.
"The 'Mysterious Man' is more cunning and dangerous than you think -"
Cornelius Fudge explained with a wry smile, "We accidentally captured his chief think tank 'Peter Pettigrew' a few months ago, but we didn't dare to dig deeper... There may be many magic families behind him.
, and even some national-level magical forces."
Fudge didn't say it clearly, but everyone present immediately understood the concerns he wanted to express.
Just as Gellert Grindelwald was wreaking havoc in the European wizarding world, his followers were not just scattered wizards.
There are many established wizarding families, as well as a considerable number of Ministry of Magic officials who clearly support the Dark Lord, and judging from what Cornelius Fudge revealed, there may even be supporters of the Magical Government among them... Hidden in
A dagger in the dark is obviously scarier.
Atif frowned, thought for a few seconds, and then asked in a deep voice.
"Concerning the question of 'You-Know-Who', didn't Albus Dumbledore have any reaction?"
Cornelius Fudge's expression changed a few times and he said:
"In fact, before we set off, Dumbledore had given me a warning - but at that time... I mean, I asked the head of the Auror Office, Mr. Rufus Scrimgeour, to lead a team to station at the Ministry of Magic!
But the situation is obviously much more serious than I thought before. Judging from the news I got, the number of dark wizards who attacked the British Ministry of Magic in the first batch alone was as high as fifty..."
"Sorry, I mean, putting this aside, does Dumbledore know how to deal with that 'immortal' dark wizard?"
Atif raised his hand to interrupt Fudge's rambling description and asked bluntly.
"Find all the Horcruxes and concentrate on destroying the 'Mysterious Man' in one fell swoop." Fudge said dryly.
"Very good, which means there is no way -" French Minister of Magic Castor raised his eyebrows.
"Ahem, gentlemen, maybe we have to solve another problem first?"
At this moment, the Armenian Minister of Magic Kaz's face turned a little ugly, and he raised something in his hand and waved it.
"I just received an urgent message from our Transportation Department - the floo network throughout Armenia has been interrupted. In other words, not only the Armenian magic world, but also all surrounding magic worlds, the floo network has collapsed... there is no reinforcement.
We must make a decision as soon as possible."
"By the way, there are hundreds of werewolves behind us. If we divide our troops to support the Ministry of Magic, what will happen to these werewolves?"
Bones raised his eyebrows, his monocle reflected cold light, and pointed at the werewolf behind him.
"In the last wizard war, the werewolf army was a dark force affiliated with the mysterious man. If when we divided our forces to attack, those dark wizards took the opportunity to come and rescue the werewolves, what should we do? My suggestion is to stand still and wait for the floo network
After repairs, the werewolf problem must be dealt with first. Death Eaters will not be able to occupy the Ministry of Magic for a long time. The matter of retaking the Ministry of Magic is not that urgent——"
"I also suggest that we deal with the werewolves first." Atif nodded, thought for a few seconds, and said in agreement.
"No, we must recapture the Ministry of Magic before dawn, no matter what -" Cornelius Fudge waved his hand with great force.
At the same time, several other ministers of magic also nodded solemnly in agreement with the British minister of magic.
The collapse of the Floo Network meant that they split up their forces and "walked" back to their respective countries to find a way to recapture the Ministry of Magic.
After all, apart from the Ministry of Magic's fireplaces, the floo network between countries is not connected to each other.
The werewolf problem is indeed a hidden danger, and they also know the danger of dividing their forces, but if they cannot lead the Aurors from their respective Ministry of Magic back to their respective countries before dawn, the angry and frightened people will definitely kill these senior officials as soon as possible.
Officials tore it to pieces.
"actually……"
At this time, Lockhart, who had been watching, suddenly interrupted:
