Chapter 276: Cleaning up and playing a big game

In the following days, the expedition wizards launched a series of cleanup operations. Since the main force of the Salok side had been annihilated, only a few high-ranking members managed to escape. Therefore, the remaining members who were carrying out missions in various parts of Albania also fled in panic. This made the cleanup operation go very smoothly, it was really like a thunderbolt sweeping the cave.

On the other hand, the native Albanian wizards also suffered heavy losses. Before the decisive battle, in order to prevent these natives from joining forces with the expeditionary wizards, Sarok quickly wiped out the main force of the Ministry of Magic and the important local magic families. It was thought that with this victorious army, Sarok would be able to sit back and relax. However, man's plans are not as good as God's plans, and it was Sarok himself who was defeated in the end.

Without the constraints of local forces, it was much easier to distribute the fruits of victory. The focus of the competition was on the British expeditionary wizards. After all, no one wanted to work in vain, right? After a fierce debate and bargaining, the various families and alliances extended their tentacles to various fields in Albania. Whether it was precious mineral resources, herbal medicine planting industry, or magical animal breeding industry, nothing could escape their control.

Among them, Mrs. Zabini and the Lucius family showed extraordinary wisdom and strategy. With their keen insight, they quickly found the descendants of the local magic families who were in name only, and cleverly pushed them to the front to compete with other parties.

The rest of the parties were equally unwilling to be outdone. The Ministry of Magic, relying on its official status, quickly reached a cooperation agreement with the remnants of the Albanian Ministry of Magic. They issued a joint statement, saying that they would work closely together in the future to jointly maintain peace and stability in this land. At the same time, in order to ensure the stability of the Albanian wizarding world and the personal safety of wizards, they decided to invite the British Ministry of Magic to set up a special office in the local area to jointly handle wizarding affairs with the Albanian Ministry of Magic; and sent Aurors and strikers from the Magical Law Enforcement Team to garrison there.

The Parkinson family seemed to be inspired by Sarok and quietly turned their attention to the Muggle government. It must be said that this was a period of power vacuum when almost all the high-level officials in Albania were wiped out, so quietly taking over power might not be impossible. As for the damn international confidentiality law, I'm sorry, the Parkinson family will not come to the fore, and can just support a few puppets. In this way, who will really know the inside story?

The Fry and Greengrass families joined forces to directly occupy two key mining areas, demonstrating their strong strength and determination...

In short, the dragon walks the dragon path, the mouse walks the mouse path, everyone relies on their own ability, and it can be said that they have made a lot of money. However, only Mrs. Zabini and other trusted subordinates of Yang Tian know that all the layouts in front of them are a big chess game played by the young master. What Yang Tian wants to do is to build Albania into his own overseas enclave and back garden; a place controlled by his own subordinates behind the scenes, where he can really have the final say...

Of course, everything has two sides, and gains are inevitably accompanied by corresponding losses. The wizards of this expedition also suffered tragic losses. More than 2,000 wizards, nearly one-third of them were killed! Such a war is really cruel. Fortunately, in comparison, Yang Tian's losses were relatively small. Moreover, the main casualties came from the alliance of the Zabini trio. As for Yang Tian's own relatives and friends, because of Yang Tian's unwavering obstruction and protection, no one was injured or killed except for the few people who died in the previous zombie tide charge.

In addition, the friends who fought with Yang Tian seemed to have experienced a baptism, like a phoenix reborn from the ashes. They lost their former immaturity and cynicism, replaced by a firm sense of responsibility and heroic spirit. Among them, Elena's change is particularly obvious. In another year, she will graduate from Hogwarts, but this sudden war has brought about a huge change in her state of mind. At least, she is proud of this study group and is happy to be in this small circle...

Although everyone was together for only one month during this vacation, and the real life-and-death battle lasted only half a day, the heavy and solid comradeship is still as strong as steel! This emotion does not come from the accumulation of time or the amount of experience, but from the trust and recognition of each other in the heart. In this short time together, everyone faced the test of life and death together and fought side by side. Every moment has become an indelible memory. This emotional bond closely connects them together, and no matter where they are in the future, they will remember this deep friendship.

Dumbledore did not interfere too much with the fighting for interests among the expeditionary wizards. Perhaps, he only cared about Hogwarts? After such a tragic battle, the evil organization suffered such a huge loss, and the entire British wizarding world would surely usher in a relatively stable period of time; this would also leave him plenty of time to deal with Voldemort later; and those children in the Hogwarts campus would also have a safer and more reliable environment to grow up in. Thinking of this, he felt very satisfied.

Of course, in addition to Yang Tian, ​​there were six other friends who joined the battle, and the old headmaster was not able to hide it in the end. Dumbledore was very scared and dissatisfied about this. However, he did not blame the six little ones, but comforted and encouraged them. But afterwards, Yang Tian suffered and bore all the anger of the old headmaster...

At the same time, Dumbledore and Grindelwald, the old friends who had not seen each other for a long time, had been communicating non-stop these days. As for what they talked about, no one knew. But on the night before Grindelwald was about to leave Albania, Dumbledore introduced his old friend to Yang Tian...

"Little guy, you are really outstanding. Don't try to deceive me. Before the undead wizard showed up, I was just watching from the sidelines. That terrifying giant tree must be your work, right?" Grindelwald's wrinkled old face actually revealed an obvious look of joy.

Faced with such a direct question, Yang Tian knew he couldn't deny it, so he simply nodded and admitted: "You should be talking about Wood Release, right? This is indeed a spell I created accidentally. But in fact, it still has many flaws and shortcomings, and is not particularly suitable for conventional small-scale battles."

"That's right!" Grindelwald smiled and agreed, "That's a special skill specially designed for war! If you were born a thousand years earlier, just based on this trick, all countries would extend olive branches to you and express their willingness to cooperate with you."

Yang Tian did not comment on Grindelwald's compliment, but just smiled. He absolutely did not believe that this tyrant who had single-handedly started the "Global Wizarding War" would chat with him about family matters.

Sure enough, the conversation between the two of them taught Yang Tian a good lesson...
