Chapter 433: Diversionary Tactics

The next morning, Harry and Snape arrived at Sirius's office in Ireland together. It was clear that a great battle had taken place here; many buildings had been reduced to ruins, and several wizards were using Levitation Charms to clear the debris. On the other side, several bandaged vampires sat on the steps, lazily leaning on long spears, looking over here from time to time.

Led by a thug, they walked into the office together and sat down in a luxurious reception room. Immediately after, Sirius also entered the room and sat down.

"It's very troublesome, Evolt is much more skilled with a gun than we are." Sirius's first words were bad news. "The firearm squad has suffered heavy casualties, this can't go on."

"Let's talk about his helper first, is it a black and green knight with a cape?" Harry was eager to verify.

"That's right, do you know any information related to him?" Sirius's answer confirmed Harry's guess.

"That knight is called Cronus, and he possesses the special ability to block bullets. The transformer is Bellatrix." Harry explained quickly.

"This crazy woman is really haunting," Sirius sighed. "But does this mean that Evolt really has a great relationship with Voldemort? Otherwise, why would Bellatrix act with him?"

"Evolt absolutely cannot be the resurrection of Voldemort," Harry said firmly. "At most, it's the stupid Bellatrix who believed this lie."

"Do we still keep Lestrange?" Sirius said with some dissatisfaction. "Perhaps we should completely eradicate their family."

"This matter should not be taken rashly." Snape said slowly. "First of all, we have to deal with Cronus and Evolt, and secondly... after all, that is in Europe."

"And she can still stir up trouble." Sirius sighed. "This is too outrageous."

"I talked to Hake, he said we can't afford that kind of offshore balance." Snape sighed with implication, and then changed the topic. "How is Delphini currently?"

"Still okay, I sent her to a farmer's family, the couple are both very kind, and should be able to take good care of this child." After answering, Sirius added. "Anyway, I don't recommend that we get involved with her."

"We must deal with Evolt as soon as possible, while the firearm squad still has some effect." Snape shook his head. "I don't want to involve innocent children either, which means we have to take the locket out to take risks."

"You mean, lure him out?" Harry felt that this plan was somewhat familiar. "But this move seems to have failed once, right?"

"So he will relax his vigilance. This time we are going to use all the forces we can use, vampires, werewolves, and Saber." Snape said seriously. "This is the best chance to defeat him."

"Werewolves and vampires together? This is too whimsical." Sirius shook his head. "Just let the werewolves stay out of it, let's gather all the vampires who can shoot to ambush him, and then add all the Kamen Riders you can find on Harry's side, in one go..."

A rapid knock on the door interrupted Sirius's words. He waved his wand with some displeasure, and the door of the reception room opened.

"Bad news, sir." One of his men said with a sad face. "We just received news that the Malfoy Manor was attacked by Evolt last night, with heavy casualties, and Sir Malfoy himself was seriously injured and hospitalized."

The three people present stood up at the same time. Sirius's brain turned the fastest. He immediately turned to Snape and questioned: "Nagini, is it Nagini?"

"I'm afraid... yes." Snape gritted his teeth. "This is really a blind cat hitting a dead mouse."

"What?" Harry frowned. "How could he know, or how could he think of Malfoy Manor? Is there a mole?"

"No, although almost all Death Eaters guessed that we killed Nagini to manipulate the election, if it is the simple-minded Lestrange, she probably still thinks Nagini is living well in Malfoy Manor." Snape rubbed his forehead. "I originally thought that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Now it seems that it was broken by a fool's cleverness..."

"Let's go to the hospital to see first." Harry suggested. "Listen to what new information Lucius has."

"It makes sense, I believe he is also very eager to lure and kill Evolt at this moment." Sirius's tone carried a trace of schadenfreude.

When they arrived at the hospital, the Malfoys had already woken up. At this moment, they were leaning weakly on two hospital beds side by side. Their house-elf Dobby was originally walking around in the ward. As soon as he saw Harry, he immediately stared with a pair of watery eyes, ran over and grabbed his trouser legs.

"Oh, Savior Potter, please defeat the Dark Lord again..."

"Go home! Shameful thing!" Lucius scolded with dissatisfaction.

Dobby left reluctantly following his master's orders.

"What's going on, Lucius?" Snape asked straight to the point. "Did he snatch the Horcrux?"

"Unfortunately, Sev, we tried our best." Lucius sighed. "I even cast the Killing Curse, but that monster easily slapped the spell away, this is too..."

"Yes, Sev, this is not only a painful failure, it even makes us start to doubt whether our philosophy is wrong." Narcissa added on the side. "Perhaps Riders can only be defeated by Riders."

"That is to say, Nagini's corpse has been snatched by Evolt, right?" Snape rubbed his fingers. "Then, the situation is clear, the research on Horcruxes cannot stop, this is a very simple truth, he attacks, which shows that he is afraid."

"And in order to let the project continue, I am going to hand over another Horcrux to you for research." Snape showed a smile.

"But many researchers also died. Evolt threw explosion spells everywhere after he came in, and many people lost their lives." Narcissa shook her head with some fear. "Let's not get involved anymore, okay?"

"Since Lucius accepted the appointment of the Department of Mysteries, we have already been on the same boat, with no way out, you two." Sirius said suddenly.

"Yes, we can only go to the end." Lucius clenched his right hand. "We need to restart the Queen Project."

"But what if the Queen gets out of control?" Snape asked back.

"If it gets out of control, summarize the experience, and then start the third plan!" Lucius said firmly. "At worst, I'll pay for the money."

"This doesn't look like you." Sirius sneered.

"You intend to use all your strength to deal with Evolt, I'm not wrong, right?" Lucius's eyes were cold. "I support the Vampire Queen with only one condition, don't involve Draco."

"But have you ever thought that the moment the Queen gets out of control is also the moment when our strength is weakest?" Snape shook his head. "That kind of time can't be helped by him."

"Uh, I'll add." Harry shrugged. "Although I don't know what's going on, ever since he got that gel dragon, Draco has become very warlike. He is very likely to volunteer to fight."

"That's too dangerous." Narcissa immediately worried for her son.

"Yes, it is indeed dangerous, especially since Draco's strength is not strong." Harry said objectively. "Unless it's a last resort, I don't want to involve him either."

"The situation now is that Evolt doesn't seem to be afraid of the Killing Curse, so Sev, you can't play a role either." Lucius said with a stinky face. "So it's enough for you to preside over the Queen Project."

Snape was silent. Harry could see that he didn't want to start the Queen Project from the bottom of his heart.

"How about, change a Queen?" Harry asked cautiously.

"It's not like that... sigh!" Snape sighed heavily. "Then restart it, I will go to contact the Magical Congress."

"We need a plan, a plan to deal with Evolt." Sirius said. "From a preliminary point of view, it is relatively suitable to use the locket to lure him out, and then Saber and the firearm squad will ambush him together. If Cronus appears, please ask our Cronus to take action."

"Let's talk about this after the Queen Project is completed. We can let the Vampire Queen also participate in it." Lucius said.

"No, the movement of the Queen Project is too big, it can't be hidden." Snape shook his head. "If I were Evolt, I wouldn't stupidly wait for you to complete the plan. I would definitely attack during the plan, or catch a gap when the last step of the test is just right."

"And what if it fails?" Harry didn't hold much hope for this plan.

"Do it in parallel, first we start the preliminary preparations for the Queen Project." Snape nodded. "Then, find an opportunity to escort the locket to Malfoy Manor with great fanfare. Evolt will definitely not miss this opportunity. If we can successfully kill him at this time, then everyone will be happy."

"If he doesn't come, then we will deal with the changes with the same, and continue to do what we should do. If he comes, and can still snatch the locket under heavy siege," Snape paused here, he didn't want to admit this possibility, "then we will take a defensive posture, wait until the Queen Project is completed, or find a breakthrough elsewhere, and then discuss it separately."

"I agree." Lucius nodded.

"I think, I have to discuss it with Ron and listen to his opinion." Harry said. "If, I mean if, he happens to have some insights, or has any way to improve his strength? In this way, we still have to wait for him."

"And, we have to wait for Zhang Qiu to come back, otherwise we can't handle Cronus." He added. ===== CHAPTER 434 =====
