#358 - First level combat readiness (asking for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

"So you were hiding your identity all along to avoid retaliation? I understand what you mean, but I didn't expect them to be so depraved." Moody nodded thoughtfully. "So what are you going to do next? Can you find him now?"

"Indeed." Anduin also nodded in agreement. "The Silver Spear's mask has a remote communication function. I just tested it, and there are only four masks within the UK that can receive the signal. After excluding the other three Silver Spears who were killed, the remaining one must be Thunderbird!"

"There's no need to rush, right? These guys are not easy to deal with, mainly because they are too elusive. I prefer to make more careful deployments before launching an encirclement," Moody cautiously advised, afraid that Anduin would make a rash decision due to emotional agitation.

"No."

Anduin shook his head. "Although I am angry, I haven't lost my mind. The main reason I want to track him down now is because in the observation just now, I discovered that the direction the target appeared this time is quite special."

"Location?" Moody frowned, somewhat puzzled, but then seemed to understand Anduin's meaning, glancing at him in surprise. "Could it be?"

"That's right, the other party appeared in the west."

Anduin's expression had returned to calm at this time, and he nodded steadily. "I suspect the other party is now on the island of Ireland!"

"I see." Moody suddenly understood. "It seems the other party is trying to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, by launching an attack on you, they can get rid of you, the alchemical equipment supplier who indirectly caused them trouble. On the other hand, they can play a feint with the Ministry of Magic. A major accident happening here will definitely attract the attention of the Auror headquarters, and they can take this opportunity to carry out a smuggling operation. They've got quite the plan."

Moody was no longer surprised that Anduin knew about the island of Ireland and the smuggling operation. He believed that Anduin must have obtained the information from the captured wizard. As for the current situation of the surviving prisoner, Moody cleverly didn't ask any further questions. He just needed to confirm that Anduin was on their side.

"That's what I'm guessing too, and since he went to so much trouble to come here and cause destruction, it's very likely that the main purpose is to cover up this operation, so this smuggling operation may be larger than the one you guys cracked last time!" Based on the current situation, Anduin made this judgment.

"I understand, it seems these guys are planning a big one this time." Moody also realized that this was a good opportunity to strike a major blow against the Silver Spear operation. "Time is of the essence, let's set off now, but I'll have to trouble you to lead the way."

"With pleasure." Anduin smiled coldly, then turned his head to look at Moody. "By the way, remember to keep it a secret. We must catch the opponent off guard this time!"

Moody nodded solemnly. He knew that the matter was of great importance and had to be careful. Then, Moody made a decisive decision and immediately turned and walked out of the house.

"Everyone, attention!" Moody swept his gaze across a group of Aurors with a solemn expression. "Now entering level one combat readiness. Next, everyone must strictly abide by the secrecy laws, not transmit messages to the outside world, not use the Patronus Charm, not receive owl letters, and not leave the team without permission!"

The surrounding Aurors, seeing Moody suddenly become so serious after going into the room, were immediately at a loss, looking at each other in confusion, but out of respect for Moody's prestige, they faithfully nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Moody turned his head to look at an Auror next to him. "Emmeline Vance, come here for a moment. There is important information that needs you to immediately return to the Ministry of Magic to report to Minister Bagnold and Director Bones!"

Emmeline knew that something was wrong, because ordinary transmissions didn't require her, a senior Auror, to do. Only extremely confidential information would choose her. You must know that Emmeline is a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

After Emmeline stepped forward, Moody leaned in next to her and quickly whispered a few words in her ear. Emmeline was shocked after hearing the news Moody told her, and even glanced at Moody in surprise. After receiving his confirming look, she didn't say anything and rushed straight to the fireplace, quickly disappearing from the scene.

"Very good, everyone come with me next." Moody said and turned back towards the fireplace.

The remaining Aurors on the scene, seeing Moody making such a fuss, followed the old captain in front of them, somewhat inexplicably, but there were still a few inexperienced Aurors who muttered a few words to the people next to them.

Anduin, who was watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly. The individual level of these Aurors was unquestionable, but their discipline and tactical literacy varied, and they couldn't even achieve strict obedience to orders.

Moody came to the fireplace and turned his head to look at Anduin. "Next, we'll first go to the east of the island of Ireland via the Floo Network. After we get there, you'll do another test to confirm that the guy is really there."

Anduin nodded when he heard this. This arrangement was indeed more appropriate.

"Anduin and I will go over first. Pay attention to the communication charm. Follow me after you receive my signal." Moody turned to the other Aurors and gave an order, then stepped into the fireplace and shouted, "Ballycastle Figg's Bar!"

When Anduin appeared through the Floo Network, Moody was already waiting on the side. This was a bar, similar in environment to the Leaky Cauldron, but because it was late, there was no one in the store.

"This is in eastern Northern Ireland. The owner of the bar is Figg Finnegan. You can locate here if you need to go to the island of Ireland normally." Moody briefly introduced to Anduin, then urged, "Hurry up, I don't know if it's too late to chase after him now."

Anduin nodded, then took out the mask belonging to Iserlon and put it on his face, then took out a large compass-like prop and fiddled with it.

"The target's location is still east of us, more than 150 kilometers away, and is almost near the coast. In this distance, do we have any other points that can be transferred?" If you fly this distance by flying broom, the distance is too far, at least more than 1 hour.

"No, but the last time we cracked a case against Silver Spear, it was also in the western part of the island of Ireland. I still remember it there, we can Apparate there first." Moody shook his head first, but quickly proposed an alternative solution.

"Okay, then let the others follow up first, let's rush over and talk about it." Anduin nodded, agreeing with Moody's suggestion.
