Chapter 537 Raid
·
Wo Bu Geng Xin
Something to say.The MACUSA's approach is actually somewhat passive.Test bit by bit, attack bit by bit.Very robust indeed.It is also very consistent with the older generation’s inherent way of dealing with Grindelwald.
But unfortunately, the experience of the older generation is not always useful.After all, the people who defeated Grindelwald back then were not the ones who wanted to take it slow with Grindelwald.What made Grindelwald taste failure back then was the seemingly elite team sent by Dumbledore.
Use a small team of elites to defeat the enemy's leader, hoping to destroy the entire organization.This behavioral style is too obvious.
But this also means something.
For example, when facing this kind of enemy, hesitation and caution often do not have very good results.After all, he should be lagging behind the other party in terms of strength and brainpower, so slowly testing this kind of behavior will only give the other party time to recuperate.The end result won't be too good.
So it’s not a bad thing to cut through the mess quickly.
Samuel's idea is indeed extreme.But his thinking is not wrong.
When dealing with the Saints led by Grindelwald, slowing down and taking steps is digging your own grave.
"We have to be aggressive."
Luke was chatting in Tripcard's drawing room.
Tripcard looked at the young man in front of him, and the expression on his face changed from disbelief at first, to disgust later, to calmness and caution now.The mental journey was quite complicated, and he did make a lot of compromises and concessions in his heart.It can be said that he has been moved.
That's why he can sit here calmly and listen to a British wizard noble telling them how to deal with a guy who committed a crime in the United States.
To be honest, Luke's status as a British wizard noble brought him more pressure.
Although the Tripkard family is considered noble compared to other families.At least they are still standard nobles.But if you go back to the roots, a family that couldn't survive in the British wizarding world and had to go to the United States to open up a new world really couldn't be considered arrogant.
At least this is the view of the nobles of this generation.
"You can't deal with Grindelwald like this. They definitely haven't sorted out their strength yet, so they must seize this opportunity to decisively organize a raid. Whether it's a sneak assassination or a frontal attack. At the very least, they must disrupt it. Their pace.”
Luke looked at Tripcard, not paying attention to the ugly look on his face.
"I'm sure that the Saints really want some time to recuperate now. But... we are the enemy, so what the enemy wants, we absolutely cannot give them."
"Even if the raid is unsuccessful, we still have to harass and fight. Our biggest advantage over them is that we have enough numbers and the ability to drag out the war."
"Grindelwald's reaction cannot be said to be rapid. He chose the Dane family, which is a very good location. Because it is rich in resources and the terrain is difficult, and it has the defensive position of the Dane family for so many years. So we will find it difficult to attack here. And Xia seemed hesitant.”
"This is the effect he wants to achieve. Do you want to watch them achieve this effect?"
Luke issued a torture that went straight to the soul.Tripcard was speechless.
He knew Luke as the boy who came to visit the American wizarding community and helped them open the door to communication with the British nobles.If it weren't for the fact that I really couldn't let go of my daughter, and the child already had Saphiel Skye by her side.Maybe their current relationship can go even further.
And now, with this child teaching him how to do things in front of him, it's impossible to say that Tripcard didn't feel anything in his heart.
"Of course I don't want to...but the difficulties you mentioned exist objectively, don't they? If the Dane family was really so easy to break through, they wouldn't become one of the top ten families."
Tripcard said calmly: "You have to understand that yesterday's attack was most likely a surprise attack. The Dane family may not have expected that Grindelwald would suddenly directly attack the ancestral land of the Dane family. .So the defense at that time was probably incomplete."
A family's complete defensive position cannot be easily broken through.Needless to say, the biggest reason why the major nobles were able to challenge Dumbledore and Luke was their own defense system.
As long as this defense system has not been breached head-on, they will be so panicked that they have no bottom line.
As for why Voldemort could easily break through the family's defense... it can only be said that there is indeed a party leading the way.
With 100% defense power, it may be difficult to deal with a wizard of Voldemort's level.But if there is help from the leading party to weaken the defense strength by 20.00% or even [-]%, then there is nothing to fear.
As for the Dane family being easily breached, in Tripcard's eyes, their defenses might not even be half activated.
Activating this thing requires a lot of energy and time.It is normal for the Dane family to be a little reluctant for a while.
Now, will the Saints spare themselves from using such a defensive system?How can it be!I have already made up my mind to take this opportunity to recuperate and regain my strength.How could I possibly be joking with you at this time?
What you save will only be a gift to the person who defeats you.And these things come easily, and it’s not like the Dane family needs to save up bit by bit.They just grabbed it casually.Naturally, it doesn’t feel too painful to use.
"Difficulties always need to be broken through. I don't think you know anything about the defense system of the Dane family. So you will definitely still have a way to enter. Just like you defeated Grindelwald. We need to find a group of warriors to sneak attack them. . Of course, this is ideal.”
Luke looked at Tripcard who was still hesitant and felt really annoyed.How can we defeat Grindelwald with you insects?Do you still want me to go into battle in person?
Luke would have done the same if he had to.But now, you can still try some other things.
"But even in the least ideal situation, you can still attack head-on. Even if it's just a feint attack. Being able to consume the opponent's physical strength, energy and resources is a happy thing for us."
Does this kind of thing still need Luke’s reminder?
Not needed at all.There are indeed arrogant fools among nobles.But this proportion is probably far smaller than the proportion of such people among ordinary wizards.So the reason why you are hesitating now is not because you find it difficult to fight, but because you don't want to exert too much effort.
"The Skye family will be the first to respond."
Now, Saphiel's role is reflected.
She chose to take the initiative without Luke's greeting.
"If Mr. Tripkard feels that it is not safe and wants to give himself an extra layer of insurance, then I will still be happy to help you. We will both make a call together, and then I will take the lead."
One party has greater appeal, and the other party has greater financial resources.This can also be regarded as a way of cooperation.
When Tripcard heard this, he looked at Saphiel Skye in surprise.He didn't expect this little girl to be so courageous at this time.
In fact, Tripcard has some sense of superiority towards Sephiel Skye and Baxter Enwy, the two family patriarchs who are considered equal in status.Because he is older and more senior.Strictly speaking, Tripkard and Saphiel's fathers were from the same era.It's just that Tripkard was a younger brother a generation ago.But times have changed, and in this generation, he has become the most virtuous and respected person.
This is not to say that there is no one older than him among the top ten families.But except for the Skye family and the Enwy family, they are unlikely to compete with him for the right to speak.
He had always felt that although Saifei seemed to be a courageous and ruthless woman.But in fact, she is still a little hesitant when it comes to making decisions on really important matters.For example, this was the case in the exchange with Luke back then. It was obvious that a more radical approach could be adopted.She chose a more conservative approach.
In comparison, Baxter Envi is more willing to take risks.But Baite Enwei is too small-minded.Violence will be repaid.Even if you gain power for a while, it won't last long.
"If that's the case, then I don't have a problem."
Tripcard knew he had no room to say no again.So he nodded and added: "I'm not that stingy. I don't need you to come up with most of it. Just half and half will be fine."
The Tripcard family was very wealthy.And they are really good with money.
Their family's motto is: "Wealth is the ladder."
Pay less now, and if you ultimately win, there will be more to argue with when it comes to dividing the spoils.And the little money saved can't do much.He can neither hold a banquet nor buy an extra piece of jewelry for his daughter.
In that case, it's chump change.No need to worry.
"Then it's settled."
Saifei didn't want to dwell too much on this issue.
Compared to others, she has been following Luke better and understands the horror of the Saints organization better.He also became more aware of the horror of a young Grindelwald.
She believed in Luke's future.But she believes in Grindelwald more now.
Therefore, Saphiel Skye is the person who sees it most clearly among the entire American aristocratic circle.
"Then we need to discuss other things...for example, how to get other people to contribute more."
Tripcard smiled slyly and said this to Luke and Saphiel.
There was still a gentle smile on Saphiel's face, but Luke was different.He shook his head helplessly.Then he said: "I'm going to go out and take a breath."
So suffocating.Even at this time, the nobles are still scheming.Although he knew that this was both tradition and human nature, Luke still felt a little disappointed.
They are still not rational enough.
After Luke went out, Saphire and Tripcard discussed it.
Saphiel is in a hurry.But no matter how eager she is, she will not delay her from minimizing her losses and enhancing her influence.What's more, if the two of them act like they're in danger.Then I'm afraid that before the Saints can exert their strength, they will hit GG first.
Because other families will think that a real disaster is coming.So the first time is definitely not to unite to solve the problem.Instead, he was trying to figure out whether he could defect to the Saints or simply flee North America.
This possibility is far lower than the possibility of them getting together and burning the boat.And much lower.
........................
"boom!"
A huge explosion echoed throughout the island.
The string that all the guards stretched to the extreme was broken in an instant.The tense atmosphere was completely detonated at this moment.The guards gathered in the direction of the explosion at an unimaginable speed.
Most of them had nervousness and uneasiness written all over their faces.But there are still some people whose faces show relief.
They had been nervously on guard for several days.And today, the second boot finally fell.
A large hole was blown out of the wall outside Azkaban Fortress.That area is almost big enough for a truck to break into.Not to mention several people.
But when the guards arrived, they found that there was no one here.
No dementors even came close.
"Damn, these dementors are just unreliable!"
The lead guard spat.Dementors aren't just Azkaban's jailers; they're Azkaban's guards.It can even be said that they are the truly powerful defensive force of Azkaban.
But now, this defensive force has completely failed.
"tmd... It's hard to say for other people, but the mysterious man was an ally of the dementors back then... There were dementors to guard against the mysterious man. This sounds unreliable. I really don't know what the people above are doing. Thought."
A young guard scolded her in a meaningful way while searching for possible traces.
"Our Minister still thinks that the mysterious man's reappearance is fake news. What effective arrangements do you expect him to make? Please, if he had that ability, he would not have been elected Minister of Magic back then. "
An older guard followed and said.The two people's statements are slightly different, but their attitudes are still the same.
"I can't say that completely. In fact, the relationship between the mysterious man and the dementors was not that close at that time. So I am more inclined to think that here it will be a east-west attack..."
The guard leader did not hesitate for too long: "If we really face the mysterious man, it doesn't matter if there are more or less people. Half of us are here to look for clues. The others follow me, and we start patrolling!"
But unfortunately, the experience of the older generation is not always useful.After all, the people who defeated Grindelwald back then were not the ones who wanted to take it slow with Grindelwald.What made Grindelwald taste failure back then was the seemingly elite team sent by Dumbledore.
