Chapter 544 The weak point among the three forces

Low morale?

flight!

Voldemort's face was terribly gloomy, and the rage surging in his eyes seemed like it would burst out at any time.

This is what he is most worried about.

He knew better than anyone what kind of people those subordinates he hastily gathered in the process of expanding his power were.

A bunch of bullies who only care about the weak and fear the strong!

Normally they are arrogant and domineering, and would like to carve the name of a Death Eater on their foreheads. However, once the situation goes wrong, they will easily reveal their true colors and flee in fear, showing no loyalty at all.

The worst thing is that they were not defeated by the Ministries of Magic of various countries, but by the powerful Grindelwald and his saints.

If they were defeated by the Ministry of Magic, it would be fine. After all, the Ministry of Magic is an official force, and even if his team temporarily loses, it will not shake the foundation. Moreover, most of these people are on the blacklist of the Ministry of Magic of various countries, and they will not think of surrendering to the Ministry of Magic.

But what about now? These guys were driven back to the British wizarding world by the saints like stray dogs.

This is not just a failure, but a stark contrast.

Grindelwald's team was well-disciplined, powerful and well-planned. In contrast, the Death Eaters were in a mess, their morale collapsed, and they even had a hard time escaping.

Without the need for Legilimency, Voldemort could guess what those foreign wizards Lucius had just reported were thinking - Saints were stronger, Saints were safer, and the future was brighter following Saints.

This group of rabble is extremely good at changing their attitude according to the situation. Their loyalty is never to a certain person, but to the winner.

Even his original team may have had other thoughts after hearing that Sebastian was going to work with Grindelwald.

Among those Death Eaters who have followed him for many years, perhaps only a few like Barty Jr. and Bella can be considered truly loyal to him.

The Death Eaters have too many dark histories and have long been wanted criminals by the Ministry of Magic. In the past, they had no choice but to follow their own path to the end.

But now, the appearance of Grindelwald provides another possibility. As long as they join the Saints, they may be able to escape the pursuit of the Ministry of Magic and stand on the stage of the wizarding world again, instead of hiding their heads and showing their tails like rats.

Voldemort knew very well that his team was now like a pile of loose sand. Torture and killing were not the best methods. Instead, they would easily stimulate his subordinates' desire to defect. If he was not careful, his team would completely collapse, and he would completely lose the possibility of dominating the world.

So this time, he did not use the Cruciatus Curse to torture his men as usual, but suppressed his anger and quietly thought about how to reverse the defeat and consolidate his power again.

Time is tight and he must break the impasse before Sebastian and Grindelwald work together.

"There is no doubt that we need a big victory!" Voldemort said coldly, "We must restore the reputation of the Death Eaters and let everyone know how powerful we are."

"Master!" Barty Crouch Jr. stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing with unreserved enthusiasm and loyalty, "Please give the order! Wherever your wand points is the direction of our attack!"

Bella also stood up, her voice fanatical and full of murderous intent: "We must let those ignorant guys understand that the master's power is unquestionable! All the fools who dare to provoke must pay the price for their stupidity!"

Led by the two, the Death Eaters became excited, with anger and fanaticism intertwined, shouting that they wanted to let the world witness Voldemort's horror again and make the saints pay a heavy price.

"Master," Lucius asked softly, his heart moved, "Who is our target? Should we take revenge on Grindelwald directly?"

Yaxley's eyes lit up, and he immediately suggested, "Perhaps, we can concentrate our forces to raid Gringotts. Grab a handful before Grindelwald can react and then retreat. If we do this a few times, the Saints will surely fall into chaos."

Hearing this, Voldemort narrowed his scarlet eyes slightly, and after weighing it in his mind, he denied the plan.

If the magic phone did not exist, this plan would still have a great chance of success, but now with just one phone call Grindelwald could bring more saints with him in an instant.

He could stop Grindelwald, but what about the battle between the Death Eaters and the Saints?

“Of course I want to take revenge on Grindelwald, and I am not afraid of Grindelwald, but…” Voldemort looked around and said coldly, “Can you defeat the Saint?”

Although he didn't want to admit it, Voldemort knew that the Death Eaters were far inferior to the Saints. Moreover, the Saints showed mercy last time and didn't kill them, but it would be hard to say if they met again.

"Master," Lucius said with his head down, "Compared to revenge on Grindelwald, perhaps we can choose another target - the new city of Hogsmeade."

Voldemort's eyes fell on Lucius, motioning for him to continue.

"Lucius, tell me your reasons!"

"Yes," Lucius bowed slightly and analyzed confidently, "The situation in the wizarding world is very clear now. There are three forces standing side by side - us, Grindelwald and his saints, and Sebastian and the International Confederation of Wizards behind him."

"But according to my intelligence, although Sebastian has become the president of the International Confederation of Wizards, he cannot turn the International Confederation of Wizards into his own power in just two days. In other words, the only power Sebastian can rely on for the time being is the British Ministry of Magic."

"Compared to Grindelwald and his saints, Sebastian and the British Ministry of Magic are the weakest parties in the three-party game. I think this is why Sebastian wants to cooperate with Grindelwald."

Hearing this, Voldemort nodded slightly.

The British Ministry of Magic is weak, which is why they chose to move to the new city of Hogsmeade and hide under the protection of Sebastian.

As for the residents in the new city, they are sheep among sheep and pose no threat at all.

From this point of view, this is indeed the softest persimmon among the three forces.

"Lucius, you make a very insightful point. Keep going."

"Yes, Master," Lucius puffed out his chest and said in a high-spirited tone, "Although our forces that expanded abroad were driven back to Britain, if we think about it from another perspective, this is another form of power cohesion."

"Like an open palm that is now clenched into a fist."

"According to my statistics, including the wizards summoned back from abroad and the prisoners of Azkaban, we have more than a thousand people. In addition, we also have Dementors, werewolves, and giants. Compared to Sebastian's Hogsmeade, we are truly a behemoth and can easily crush the other side."

"Of course," Lucius paused and saluted Voldemort respectfully again, "To do this, the master needs to block Sebastian."

"Hasn't Sebastian been promoting the safety of the new city of Hogsmeade? Then we will destroy the new Ministry of Magic and raze the new Gringotts to the ground. We will let the entire wizarding world know that those who dare to stand before the Master will have only one fate - destruction!"

"This battle will establish your absolute prestige! All doubters will shut up, and all wavering people will surrender! No one will dare to look down on the master, and no one will dare to underestimate the power of the Death Eaters!"

The hall fell into deathly silence. Voldemort gently raised his wand, stroked the wand with his fingertips, and looked at Lucius deeply.

Then, a cruel smile appeared on his lips.

"Very good! Death Eaters, gather your men and attack Hogsmeade tonight!"
