Chapter 629 Strategic Intimidation (Two in One)

After Dumbledore received the Patronus message from an inside informant, the entire Order of the Phoenix began to move. The Phoenix Patron Saint he had summoned before accurately delivered his order to initiate a rally to the key members of the Order of the Phoenix.

There was already some chaos in Hogwarts at this time. The news published in the "Evening Prophet" quickly spread to every corner of the school, and all students knew that Azkaban had been breached.

For a time, public opinion was in an uproar, and no one paid attention to the Yule Ball anymore.

The students at Hogwarts were in panic, as were wizards and witches elsewhere in the British wizarding community.

"How is it possible? How could anyone break through Azkaban's defense? That's Azkaban!" Many young wizards couldn't believe the authenticity of this news. In their opinion, Azkaban is the most difficult place to escape from prison. For hundreds of years, only Sirius Black has successfully escaped from prison. How could a collective jailbreak happen in a place like this?

Of course, if it is breached...

"Did that person do it? After all, the activities of dark wizards have been too frequent in the past six months..." Some people also suspected Voldemort. Because this thing is so unbelievable! The place that was captured was Azkaban! If we must find a dark wizard who can capture Azkaban, these little wizards with little knowledge will definitely

"These dark wizards should have been sentenced to death in the first place. After all, they committed such a brutal crime!" Some young wizards of Muggle origin were filled with resentment and felt that it was all the fault of the judiciary. If all these dark wizards had been hanged, there wouldn't be so many bad things happening today.

But there are more people who refute him. Even the non-magic world is about to abolish the death penalty, let alone the magic world - the magic world has completely abolished the death penalty. Even if you commit a heinous crime, you can just throw it in Azkaban. Done.

The topic quickly went sideways, students blamed each other, argued, and the auditorium became a mess.

The school was in such chaos, but the professors who usually could calm down the situation had no time to come out. A Phoenix Patronus appeared in front of Professor McGonagall outside the auditorium, and an additional Patronus appeared in front of Snape, who had just returned to Hogwarts.

As for Mad-Eye, Lupin, Mr. Weasley, Tonks... they all saw the Patronus from Dumbledore.

Dumbledore's Patronus revealed his plan, and these members of the Order of the Phoenix acted directly without any hesitation.

However, Snape received one more message than others, which was to leak the news of their attack to the Death Eaters.

Looking at the Patronus disappearing before his eyes, Snape's mouth twitched twice. Dumbledore left no evidence of giving orders, making him look like a Death Eater spy in the Order of the Phoenix.

Snape felt helpless for a while. What made him even more speechless was that his identity among the Death Eaters was actually a spy inserted into the Order of the Phoenix.

So an extremely complex matryoshka doll was formed. People from the Order of the Phoenix think he is from the Order of the Phoenix, and people from the Death Eaters think he is a person from the Death Eaters. On the surface, he is a mole planted by the Death Eaters in the Order of the Phoenix, but he is actually planted by the Order of the Phoenix to eat. The Dead Apostle's mole. The Death Eaters thought he had broken into the Order of the Phoenix and became a mole. In fact, he wanted the Death Eaters to think that he had broken into the Order and became a mole.

This relationship can make those committee members faint when being tried by the Wizengamot.

Although he kept complaining in his heart, Snape still passed on the news obediently.

Dumbledore's plan can be summed up by the word "intimidation". He will use various channels to make Voldemort believe that Azkaban, the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic will launch a three-way encirclement and suppression of his men.

According to Dumbledore's judgment, Tom Riddle will evacuate on his own initiative without conflict with him. In that way, he can also give an explanation to everyone in the British magical community and let them settle down. At the same time, it can also make those wizards who remain neutral in the magic world lean more towards their side.

As for Riddle, if he chooses not to evacuate and instead fights the Order of the Phoenix at Malfoy Manor, then Dumbledore would just have disapparated over there.

Anyway, after the battle between Azkaban and Voldemort, Dumbledore's side had already taken the absolute initiative. No, actually from the time Tom and Dumbledore teamed up to drive the nail into Voldemort's side, they had already taken the initiative.

The reason why Dumbledore preferred to be conservative was that he did not want to cause too many casualties and that he wanted to completely eliminate Voldemort. In his opinion, it would be better not to beat Voldemort into a wandering spirit state. If we want to fight him, we must completely wipe him out of the world.

As Hogwarts gradually descended into chaos, the atmosphere in Malfoy Manor was as heavy as a dead person.

"Is the news true?" Voldemort sat on his chair and turned the wand in his hand.

"It's true, Master." Little Crouch replied immediately, "This is the news that Severus just sent back."

Next to him, Yaxley added: "There are also some changes in the Auror office of the Ministry of Magic. Several Aurors seem to have left the Ministry of Magic in a hurry. As for Azkaban, we really can't get any news."

Yaxley said this, almost confirming that the Ministry of Magic will join forces with the Order of the Phoenix.

This is the truth! Dumbledore also contacted the Minister of Magic, Bones. Bones has decided to organize the Aurors to conduct a search of Malfoy Manor.

If you organize an operation against Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic that has been infiltrated by Death Eaters, the news will definitely leak out. Bones' order arrived at the Auror Office and Malfoy Manor almost simultaneously.

But this was just right, just what Dumbledore wanted.

The Death Eaters were overwhelmed by the news and fell into panic. The Order of the Phoenix was not ready for the decisive battle, and neither were the Death Eaters! None of the allies Voldemort wanted to contact in his plan—giants, werewolves, and the Japanese Ministry of Magic—were in place!

"Tell me what you think!" Seeing that his subordinates looked fierce and angry, the red light in Voldemort's eyes became even brighter, and he decided to let his servants express their opinions first.

"Where else can we go!" A Death Eater with dark hair shouted dissatisfied, "We might as well just stay here and fight with the people of the Order of the Phoenix!"

"Pull him down, Dolohov!" Little Crouch said back mercilessly: "You don't even have a wand!"

The wizard who was attacked was named Antonin Dolohov. He was Voldemort's original elder and one of his first Death Eaters. The insane man had been sentenced to life in Azkaban for the brutal murders of Fabian and Gideon Prewett, and had just been freed from prison by Lord Voldemort. Among the Death Eaters present, only Crouch Jr., a Death Eater with a high status, dared to scold him mercilessly.

Antonin Dolokhov, a Death Eater whose hands were stained with the blood of wizards and Muggles, had a pale, twisted long face. Just by looking at his face, you could tell that he was proficient in dark magic. This man had a large frame, or was thin due to living in Azkaban for a long time.

At this moment, Dolokhov, who had been disgraced, had a fierce look in his eyes, but considering Crouch's identity, he had to swallow this breath. And what Crouch Jr. said was true. The Death Eaters who had just been rescued by Voldemort were in very bad condition, and all of them had their wands confiscated.

He could only sit in his seat and grumble softly.

Most people just pretended not to hear. Deep down in their hearts, these people did not want to fight to the death with the wizards of the Order of the Phoenix, because the wizards of the Order of the Phoenix arrived too promptly and decisively, and the Death Eaters were not prepared to fight at all. Prepare.

"It would be great if Regulus was still alive, then we could still go to the Black house..." One of the Death Eaters sighed.

Isn't it? Regulus Black, heir to the Black family, is one of Voldemort's most trusted subordinates. It's a pity that he died young and gave his life for Voldemort's cause. If he was still alive, the Death Eaters present could have taken refuge in the Black Mansion.

Bellatrix Lestrange, who was sitting at the top, snorted coldly, feeling a little unhappy: she was originally from the Black family, but she didn't have half a Nat relationship with the Black family's inheritance. In the end, the rich inheritance and the Black family's ancestral home fell into the hands of his traitorous cousin.

However, her companion's words inspired her. Although she did not have the authority to enter the Black ancestral home, she had the qualifications to enter the Lestrange home.

"You might consider going to Lestrange Manor, which has been abandoned for a long time and I don't know if it can still be inhabited."

"Even I know that now is not the time to quarrel. Members of the Order of the Phoenix may appear at any time." Even Lucius, who was sitting at the end of the long table, expressed his own opinions.

After listening to the discussions among his men, Voldemort finally made up his mind.

"Everyone evacuates to Lestrange Manor and prepares for counterattack."

After hearing Voldemort's decision, the Death Eaters stopped arguing and stood up one after another, preparing to pack their things and take their colleagues with them to follow Bella and evacuate to Lestrange Manor.

However, Voldemort did not act together with his Death Eaters. He just sat there, as if thinking about something.

[Dumbledore is about to bring the elite of the Order of the Phoenix, the dementors of Azkaban, and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic to fight over. This is a very powerful force...]

Before making a decision, Voldemort estimated the strength gap between the two sides. He found that if a war really started, his side would have a high probability of losing. Because he would be involved by Dumbledore, and the remaining Death Eaters were obviously no match for the dementors, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, and the members of the Order of the Phoenix.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Voldemort decided to give in first.

But the stronger the offensive power, the weaker the defensive power. Dumbledore, how much power have you left behind at Hogwarts?

Just let me take a look!

Voldemort stood up and looked at the panicked Death Eaters around him, with a flash of contempt in his eyes: These rabble!

But now he can only make do with this group of people.

When the Death Eaters rescued from Azkaban are repaired, the level of the Death Eaters will be improved. Voldemort comforted himself in this way.

Then, he turned into a plume of black smoke and left the place on his own initiative.

He believed that Dumbledore's side would definitely be in panic when the news of Hogwarts being attacked came. At that time, the Death Eaters would fight back again, and it would be easy to turn defeat into victory.

Voldemort had planned everything. The moment Dumbledore stepped into Malfoy Manor, he was going to lose!

When the Death Eaters were preparing to evacuate, the owner of Malfoy Manor, Lucius Malfoy, looked very unhappy. When Voldemort made the decision to evacuate, he was instantly stunned.

Other Death Eaters can escape, but not their own manor!

He suddenly realized that the efforts of generations of the Malfoy family were likely to be wasted in his hands. At this time, he was extremely grateful that he had extended an olive branch to Dumbledore through Dobby in advance. With Dumbledore's testimony, he would definitely not lose the last chip.

Thinking of this, Lucius was no longer panicked. He stood up slowly, put a few valuable furnishings into his bag, and followed his companions to evacuate to Lestrange Manor under Bella's guidance.

They moved very quickly, and within a few minutes, the huge Malfoy Manor was completely empty.

By this time, the members of the Order of the Phoenix had already assembled.

Just as they were preparing to set off, Lupin's patronus appeared again and handed them a new address.

Professor McGonagall looked at the patron saint in front of her and showed a confident smile: "Albus has arranged everything, we just need to execute it. Now, everyone, come with me to Lestrange Manor! "

…

"What are you going to do?" Delis looked at the suddenly agitated Dementors with a wary look on his face.

After Azkaban was attacked, the Ministry of Magic showed amazing efficiency and quickly deployed an elite Auror team to station in Azkaban to support the Dementors here. The leader of this team was Delis, who had just been awarded the Order of Merlin.

Delix has been on a roll lately.

Already marginalized, he returned to the center of power because of his brave performance in the World Cup finals. When the time came, he was entrusted with an important task and was stationed in Azkaban. There are ten of them, including Aurors and strikers.

But his luck seemed to have run out here, because today the dementors suddenly became restless without warning. They flew into the air one by one and circled wantonly, making the Aurors and strikers stationed here feel numb.

His old partner Naya walked up to Delis and whispered to remind him to prepare early. In a short period of time, the dementors suffered two attacks and started killing again. It was normal for them to be emotionally unstable.

Commonly known as wild-minded.

Delis took a look at his men and felt that suppressing the dementors was a bit unrealistic. So he stood up and decided to take the initiative to negotiate with the dementors to find out what they wanted to do.

"Revenge?" Delis was stunned. These dementors were actually planning to organize an expedition!

Delis looked at the mobilized dementors and made a decision of his own.

He wants to go with the Dementors!
