Chapter 545 Finally took the bait

"Sir, the You-Know-Who has ordered the Death Eaters to go out in full force and attack the new city of Hogsmeade tonight. I am rushing to gather the werewolves now."

In the magic phone, Lucius recounted everything that happened at the Death Eater party. His voice was low and rapid, with a hint of deliberately suppressed urgency.

Sebastian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

Finally got hooked!

It was worth it that he deliberately concealed his edge. Every time he clashed with Voldemort, he cleverly hid his weaknesses and never really revealed his own trump card, but just maintained the illusion of a draw.

Now that Fu has taken the blame he deserved, and "special talents" from other countries have been recruited, Fu's greatest value has been almost squeezed out. It's time to ask him to leave and squeeze out the last bit of his value.

"Got it, Senior, continue as planned."

After hanging up the phone, Sebastian stood up and walked to the window, overlooking the bustling new city of Hogsmeade from the top floor of Swann Alchemy.

People were coming and going on the wide streets, wizards were walking in twos and threes, pubs, shops, newspaper offices... except for the Aurors and strikers who were constantly patrolling among the crowd, everything seemed normal, and there was even an illusion of a peaceful time.

"Only when the war is over can the new city of Hogsmeade regain its true vitality. After tonight, this wonderful life will become the norm, and the new city will become more lively!"

Sebastian sighed softly, tapping his fingertips on the window frame as he pondered the current situation.

On the surface, the combat power of the new city of Hogsmeade is insufficient. The Aurors, Striker and Order of the Phoenix together have no more than a hundred people, while the number of Death Eaters under Voldemort is far more than six times that. With the help of Dementors, werewolves, giants and others, Voldemort has an absolute advantage no matter how you look at it.

But this is exactly the illusion Sebastian wants Voldemort to see.

He knew very well that since Voldemort's resurrection, although he was still arrogant, he had become much more cautious.

Because of this, Sebastian carefully exerted pressure while constantly placing baits to force Voldemort to make a decision on his own initiative.

Now the Death Eaters are facing internal and external troubles, and their morale is unstable. Seeing the easy target right in front of them, it is impossible for Voldemort not to be tempted.

If he was unwilling to take action in the face of such an attractive opportunity, Sebastian would look down on him.

Sebastian chuckled, "Old Vol, Old Vol, do you think you are hunting Hogsmeade?"

"Unfortunately, you don't realize that you are the hunted beast. This scene has been set up for a long time, and tonight is the moment to close the net."

Sebastian chuckled, pulled out his magic phone, and dialed Amelia Bones' number.

"Amelia, the You-Know-Who has given the order that the Death Eaters will go out in full force tonight, heading straight for Hogsmeade. The Ministry of Magic should be prepared, we must make sure he never returns."

"Understood." Amelia's voice was still calm and capable. "After the sun sets, the new city will be under full martial law. The Ministry of Magic will completely shut down the Floo Network, and everything else will be carried out according to the previous plan."

Ever since Voldemort started wreaking havoc in Gringotts, the New Town has been under martial law every night. The residents of the New Town have become accustomed to this state and there is no need to worry about causing panic.

"The Floo Network doesn't need to be completely shut down," Sebastian corrected in a deep voice. "Instead, it should allow people to leave but not enter, and give the residents of the new city the right to choose. Those who want to stay will stay, and we don't have to force those who want to leave to stay."

Under this premise, it doesn't matter whether the wizards who are really afraid of war leave through Floo Powder or the Vanishing Cabinet, which can reduce the panic in the city. Only those who stay are the forces that are truly willing to fight for the new city.

The power of the people is great. Judging from the population of the new city, even if only a small number of people are willing to stay, they are much more than the Death Eaters.

Amelia quickly understood his intention and did not object: "I understand. What other arrangements are there?"

"Nothing special. Let the Aurors and strikers take turns to rest and keep them refreshed before the battle. We have distinguished guests tonight and we must be in the best condition to welcome them."

After explaining the Ministry of Magic's deployment, Sebastian hung up the phone and dialed another person's number.

"Lockhart, inform the war correspondents that they will be working overtime tonight, and the location will be in Hogsmeade New Town."

"Hogsmeade?" Lockhart on the other end of the line obviously did not expect this news, and raised his voice in surprise, "Boss, are you serious? Could it be... the mysterious person calling?"

Sebastian chuckled and said in a playful tone, "Wow, you are quite smart. Yes, it's just as you guessed. What, are you scared?"

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud thud from the phone, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.

The next second, Lockhart shouted excitedly, "How can I be afraid when you are here, boss! This is big news! Big news! Tonight, I will be the war correspondent myself, and no one can snatch it from me!"

"Keep it secret! Lockhart, don't reveal the news in advance! I won't forgive you if it causes panic."

"Got it, got it. I won't say any more to you, boss. I need to get my hair done quickly and then pick out a suitable dress. I want to show off my looks tonight."

The camera was in place, but Sebastian needed some special spectators to be there to watch the fight.

So, he dialed Akinbad's magic phone without hesitation: "Mr. Akinbad, please help me contact representatives from various countries. Within two hours, everyone must gather in the new city of Hogsmeade. Tonight, I will treat them to a unique and wonderful show."

Then, Sebastian contacted Hannah Abbott: "Hannah, take Neville to the Hogwarts kitchen and make as many perception cookies as you can. I will let the house elves help you."

Perception Cookies - One of the four magical delicacies left by Hufflepuff, it can enhance the magical perception of wizards for a certain period of time.

In such a fierce battle, perception biscuits will greatly improve the combat efficiency of our own fighters and reduce their risk of injury.

Then, Sebastian dialed Kingsley Shacklebolt's number and said concisely: "Let all members of the Order of the Phoenix be on combat alert. We have a tough battle tonight."

Everything was going on in an orderly manner. After completing all the pre-war deployments, Sebastian pondered for a moment and finally dialed the most important number.

"Harry, come into my office. I need to talk to you about something."
