Chapter 394: Wolf Giants Gather

As mentioned before, there were only two things that Voldemort was most anxious about at the moment. The first was to check the safety of his Horcruxes - the Ravenclaw diadem, Slytherin locket, and Tom's diary had been destroyed, and the remaining yew wand was in his hand. He also needed to confirm the safety of the Gaunt ring and the Hufflepuff gold cup.

Hearing what Hailbo said, he guessed that they had probably taken away the Gaunt ring that he had hidden in the Gaunt ancestral home.

Voldemort was naturally uncomfortable knowing that the key to his life was in the hands of others, but at this moment every wizard here had the strength to compete with him, so no matter how dissatisfied he was, he dared not show it.

The most important thing is that it doesn’t matter how many Horcruxes he has, as long as he always controls the most important one and maintains his immortality.

The magic wand in his hand is his greatest strength.

Of course, the safety of the Hufflepuff Gold Cup was also very important, but since he still had a Horcrux in his hands, there was no need to go to great lengths for it, or even expose his own existence - in the past few days he had learned from major newspapers that the Ministry of Magic refused to acknowledge the fact that he had been resurrected, and chose to start smearing and attacking Harry Potter and Dumbledore's image, which gave him an excellent opportunity to accumulate power.

The second thing that Voldemort was concerned about was to reassemble his dark army.

Sure enough, before he could speak, Herpo said, "You should focus on gathering forces that only obey you. I know you still have many loyal followers in Azkaban, but attacking Azkaban will make our existence go from secret to public, which is not a good idea..."

Voldemort nodded in agreement, his face expressionless, as if waiting for what Herbert would say next.

"I know that you once gathered the forces of werewolves and giants during the First Wizarding War, but times have changed. Not to mention the distant giants, the werewolves' power has long been reduced to that of before. After the fall of the Rowle family, the werewolf power in Knockturn Alley was reduced by at least half. Later, under the leadership of Fenrir Greyback, they attached themselves to the Selwyn family, but..."

What Helper said was something Voldemort had already learned from his Death Eaters on the day of his resurrection. After the fall of the Rowle family, the werewolves split into two groups, one group chose to continue to follow Fenrir, and the other group chose to set up their own camp and cause chaos everywhere. Most of the second group that set up their own camp were eventually killed by the Aurors, and a small part mysteriously disappeared - according to his guess, they may have joined Schelling's army, which means -

Xie Ling also has a werewolf army!
"Now the head of the Selwyn family is missing, and his wife was killed in the Little Hangleton Cemetery. In the past few days, the werewolf tribe in Knockturn Alley has shown unusual movements. The calm on the surface can no longer conceal the turbulent undercurrents underneath. I suggest that you set off as soon as possible to gather them in person to avoid a second split in the werewolf tribe, which would weaken your power once again." Hailbo said.

Hercule is indeed an experienced man. Compared to Voldemort who is still standing there stupidly without taking any action, both the Order of the Phoenix and the Society of the Dragon have already infiltrated the werewolves in Knockturn Alley.

The Order of the Phoenix sent out Remus Lupin, who was a werewolf himself and had an innate advantage in integrating into the werewolf society.

However, Sherin knew about the subjugation of the Selwyn family earlier than the Order of the Phoenix, and had the first-mover advantage in intelligence. In addition, in the past few months, the Night Owls had established a strong gang force in Knockturn Alley, and had the secret support of Old Borgin, so they had more opportunities and resources to win over werewolves than the poor Order of the Phoenix.

After all, whether choosing to follow Fenrir or to strike out on their own, what werewolves pursue is nothing more than a better life.

In this regard, Schelling may not be able to give werewolves the opportunity to rape and plunder without any restrictions like Voldemort did, but as he is wealthy, he can definitely do better than the Order of the Phoenix.

"What you said makes sense. I will deal with the werewolf issue as soon as possible." Voldemort said.

"Even if you succeed in gathering all the werewolves under your command, it is far from enough. After all, the werewolf force now is only half of what it was back then, so you must also make plans for your other forces as soon as possible." Herpo said. "My original plan was to first break into Azkaban and rescue my most loyal servants, and then take the opportunity to recruit the Dementors guarding Azkaban, so that I would have control over two forces, and then recruit werewolves, and finally win over giants." Voldemort said coldly, "But I agree with what you said. Attacking Azkaban right now is unwise, so the rescue of servants and the recruitment of Dementors must be put aside for now-"

"In other words, your next step is to win over the giants?" Hailbo said in a deep voice with a gleam in his eyes.

"Yes, I will leave for the Valley of the Giants as soon as I have dealt with the werewolves."

Herpo shook his head slowly, sighed and said, "You are completely unaware of the urgency of the matter. The intelligence I received shows that Dumbledore has already sent people to the east, most likely to look for the giant. Fortunately, because the Ministry of Magic does not trust Dumbledore, it sent Aurors to track and monitor Dumbledore's people, causing their journey to be greatly delayed..."

"But this is only temporary," Herbo said calmly, "Dumbledore's subordinates are not stupid. Once they get rid of the Ministry of Magic's tail, they will be able to reach the Ural Mountains quickly with magic."

"So, what you mean is..." Voldemort asked with his non-existent brows frowned.

Although Voldemort is arrogant, he is not really stupid. He has long realized that the situation is urgent. However, unlike the one who can call the wind and rain in the original book, he is now alone. He wants to recruit werewolves and giants at the same time as quickly as possible, but he is unable to do so.

"We still have some manpower here. Leave the task of sending people to the giants to us." Helpo said, "Don't worry, we will recruit them in your name. In this way, when they arrive in Great Britain, they will only obey your orders directly."

Voldemort's expression changed briefly before he said, "This..."

"Don't worry, this is just a token of our appreciation." Hailpo smiled on his old face and said, "Just consider it as a gift to welcome you, the 'most terrible dark lord of this century', to join our alliance!"

"Okay, then I will obey your command," Voldemort said with a slow nod.

"Ms. Morgan, I would like you to take care of this matter, is that ok?" Haierbo said.

"No problem. One of my subordinates is proficient in the giant language and giant habits. It would be appropriate to send him to recruit giants. However, to recruit giants, we must give them gifts. As for the gifts..." Morgan said.

"We Walpurgis will provide the gifts - Jafar, Barbarossa!"

"Here!" Barbarossa and Jafar answered at the same time.

"You must have collected a lot of good things in your respective forces over the years. Each of you can give three treasures to Ms. Morgan. This should be enough to meet the needs of the giants. If there are any extra, it can be regarded as hard work fee for the Shadow of the Demon Dragon."

Morgan finally revealed a charming smile and said, "Then I would like to thank Lord Helbo for his generous gift." (End of this chapter)
