Chapter 264 Pre-war meeting
After the "pre-war mobilization meeting" with his friends, Yang Tian thought he could take a break. However, the staff of the Ministry of Magic arrived quickly and conveyed an urgent order: the war meeting was about to be held, and the relevant persons in charge were requested to attend immediately.
Yang Tian had already made a corresponding plan for the team's foreign negotiations. So, after receiving the order, the five-member team, including Arabella, Old Fly, Yang Tian, Old Li and Old Xia, quickly arrived at the main tent in the central area.
At this moment, many people had gathered in the central tent. Including Barty Crouch Sr., Albus Dumbledore, Rufus Scrimgeour, the Zabini trio, Hughes Malfoy, Hector Parkinson, Mr. Borgin... and a series of important figures were present. They sat in their respective seats, talking in low voices, and the atmosphere seemed a little tense and solemn.
It was precisely because of this occasion that the sudden arrival of four strangers who were wrapped tightly so that their faces could not be seen naturally attracted the attention of everyone present.
Old Barti, the Zabini trio and other subordinates of Yang Tian knew the origins of these four people very well, so they did not ask; the other noble lords also respected their status, and although they were a little unhappy in their hearts, they still forced themselves not to say anything, but just frowned slightly and remained silent.
Only the werewolf leader Fenrir Greyback stood up without hesitation, and said with a malicious smile: "Hehehe, this is the command center of this war. Isn't it unnecessary for you to hide like this?"
When Arabella heard this, she was stunned for a moment. You know, no one has dared to speak to her in this tone for many years. When she looked at the person who was speaking, a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, and then she waved her fair and delicate right hand without hesitation, and said coldly: "Get out!" Before she finished speaking, an invisible pressure suddenly spread.
Greyback was immediately furious when he heard this. He roared angrily: "You damned fellow, how dare you insult the great werewolf leader! Are you tired of living..." However, he was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Shut your stinky mouth, you dog!" Although the hood was too deep to see her face, the Countess's surging magic power like the ocean and her angry breath like a volcanic eruption still shocked everyone present. Then, her cold voice as if from the netherworld sounded again: "If you don't want to recall everything that happened with your damn master in my castle, then kneel down and apologize immediately. Otherwise, I would be very happy to help you remember it myself."
"You...you are..." Greyback, who was originally arrogant, seemed to suddenly remember something terrible. His face turned as pale as paper, and his body trembled uncontrollably. The next moment, he knelt on the ground without hesitation, shaking like a sieve, not even daring to breathe, obviously he was completely frightened.
The scene in front of them frightened everyone around them. That was the cruel Greyback! Has he really become a good boy today? Everyone turned their eyes to the four people in front of them, guessing their identities. Dumbledore, who was smiling just now, now had a slightly changed expression, and his eyes showed a strong sense of vigilance.
"Principal Dumbledore, and everyone else. Please rest assured, this person has come specially to help us and can be trusted completely. If she hadn't had some minor health problems and needed the help of a Chinese doctor, we wouldn't have been able to invite her here!" The speaker was Mrs. Zabini.
The others didn't know the hidden truth, so they nodded hesitantly. Madam Zabini was still trustworthy. But Dumbledore, who knew the inside story, was different. Recalling Madam Zabini's illness and treatment, he understood the cause and effect almost instantly. His originally tense nerves also relaxed, and his mood suddenly became much more relaxed. He couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart: "That bastard is really capable! He got such an important help without making a sound." Thinking of this, Dumbledore's mouth corners slightly raised, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart, as if he had realized something, and stared at the short figure among the four people with a sharp gaze. Soon, a sense of familiarity came over him...
If someone else had acted like this, Arabella would probably have ignored him. But Dumbledore was famous after all. Seeing that the old man was ready to ask questions at any time, the countess quickly interrupted and said, "This is my personal doctor. He cannot leave my side."
Hearing this, Dumbledore understood. Sure enough, this kid had sneaked into the battlefield. But at this point, the old headmaster didn't say much, and the scene calmed down again...
Seeing that the situation had calmed down, Old Batty calmly stood up and said, "Since everyone has no objection, let's start the meeting."
As he said this, he asked the Ministry of Magic personnel to distribute the latest reconnaissance report.
Looking at the report, everyone frowned.
Lucius was even more incredulous: "Is this report true? How could they mobilize so many people? We can't even crush them in terms of numbers?"
"There is absolutely no problem with the report." Madam Zabini said seriously, "This is not the most difficult problem. The most difficult problem is that while the two sides are evenly matched in numbers, the other side has an absolute advantage in strength. This battle is not easy to fight. If they hadn't dispersed their forces to various regions in Albania, I dare not imagine the outcome of this battle."
......
As the discussion began, more and more people got involved in discussing the battle situation...
"Okay, everyone! The situation is very urgent now!" Old Batty ignored the anxious crowd and said solemnly: "But I want to say that if we want to win this battle, we still have a way! That is to gather all the personnel and fight head-on. We must win the battle quickly before they come back to help."
Seeing that everyone nodded as if they had made up their minds, Old Batty said loudly again: "Remember everyone, we must go all out in this battle and not hold back! If we win, those other conspiracies and tricks can be destroyed at any time; if we lose, then we can only roll back to our homeland honestly and become turtles. Therefore, I decided to rest today and start the battle tomorrow morning!"
"Yes!" The people, who were of the same mind as never before, left in a hurry without saying a word...
Dumbledore, however, leisurely came to Yang Tian and whispered, "I'm used to your nonsense. Now that you're here, try to save your life as much as possible."
"Don't worry, principal. I am a cockroach, how can I die so easily? On the contrary, you must take care of yourself and don't take the initiative to die. The wizarding world still needs you." Yang Tian teased. He did not tell the old principal about the arrival of other friends. At this critical moment, saying more would only confuse people.
"Shut up, I know you don't have anything nice to say!" Dumbledore replied angrily and turned away. But only he knew that the words of this brat always touched him a little bit...
When everyone left, Old Batty also received a detailed battle plan from Yang Tian...
