Chapter 1419 The disappearing deterrence
Compared with Albert's lukewarm response to this incident, the Defense Association exploded again after learning the news.
This is not a conspiracy by the mysterious man to lure them into taking the bait. It is clearly a declaration of war issued by the mysterious man to the entire group that resists the mysterious man.
As if to say to them, if you have the guts, just come, I will wait for you here.
Because of this, everyone was holding a breath in their hearts, clenching their fists and wanting to go straight forward and beat those nasty conspiracies to the ground.
However, they were focused on preparing for war but never received notice of the rally. This made many people realize that Albert did not support them in directly stepping on the enemy's trap.
As a result, the atmosphere at the association headquarters became a bit extreme, and many members felt that they should do something instead of watching the residents of a village being massacred.
You can always see people in small groups gathering together to discuss this matter with righteous indignation.
I don’t know whether he was angry for the villagers who were about to die innocently, or he was disappointed because he could not participate in the battle with the Death Eaters.
There is no doubt that everyone’s original fantasy of directly chasing the enemy’s trap and knocking the opponent down is gone.
The members of the association during this period were very confident. Even though they knew that they might have to face Voldemort, they did not show any fear or anxiety, let alone think that it was an unrealistic fantasy.
Voldemort will be dealt with by Albert, and they can bully those pesky Death Eaters.
Unfortunately, their expectations are doomed to be disappointed.
Kenneth looked at the agitated members in front of him, shook his head and said, "If this operation is safe enough, Albert wouldn't mind letting you participate, but it's not okay to just step into someone else's trap." .”
"why not?"
The man couldn't help but ask, and several people around him also echoed. They obviously felt that Albert had the ability to lead everyone to victory.
"Of course I am concerned about your life safety. The Death Eaters are not really stupid. They used to be more concerned about the threat from Albert."
"Well, even if the Death Eaters are idiots, isn't there still You-Know-Who?"
Kenneth felt that these people had been dazzled by the successive victories.
“I really thought that the carefully prepared trap for us would make it easier for us. Without Albert’s protection, if we really force the situation, I don’t know how many members would be left behind.”
"But…"
“Even if one person is sacrificed, it’s our loss. Well, so what if we really win? We still can’t solve the mysterious man.”
Kenneth noticed that the other party was planning to say something else, and said he was willing.
"What if the mysterious man continues? If he continues to threaten us with Muggle villages, are we going to continue to step into the trap carefully prepared by the mysterious man for us, and let similar things continue to repeat? Let more Muggles be involved in this Becoming an innocent victim in a wizarding war?"
"They will do that. Don't expect the mysterious man to be noble, because we would do that too."
Kenneth looked around at the few people and continued, "I know you are not afraid of sacrifice, but don't let the enemy lead you by the nose. That will only make us passive."
In this current situation, they can only try their best to stabilize everyone's emotions and prevent anyone from doing anything stupid.
Actually, both Fred, George and Shanna have noticed that today's defense association is becoming increasingly difficult to manage.
Once the increasingly confident members no longer obey their orders, the situation will easily get out of control, and everyone may be deceived by then.
“I’ve been helping to keep an eye on them in the past few days... Well, by the way, I can help them analyze the conspiracy of the mysterious man.”
In the office, Shanna mentioned this matter directly after gathering several team members.
“I would like to believe that there is no guy in the association who would do stupid things when his brain gets hot, but there are some things that we have to guard against.”
"What does Albert mean?" Lee Jordan raised his hand and asked, "That guy doesn't have any news at this time."
"No, he didn't reply, but I think he knew." Shanna slapped a piece of parchment on the table and said, "I had a similar experience last time, and he left an emergency plan at that time. .”
"It is impossible for us to step into someone else's trap, let alone the guy who set up this trap is a mysterious person. No one knows what a heavy price we will have to pay once we risk stepping into the trap." Shanna looked around at the people present. He continued, "Don't forget, the purpose of setting this trap by the mysterious man is to eliminate us and prevent our people from dying meaninglessly."
“You all know very well that we can’t save everyone. And once we go this time, what about the next time, and the next time?”
"We will help keep an eye on them." After Cedric took the lead in expressing his stance, others also expressed their stance.
“Very good, let’s start holding a meeting later, tell them all about the mysterious man’s plot, and arrange more arduous training tasks for them!”
Several people looked at each other, turned around and left to inform others of the gathering.
“Why don’t you tell them yourself?”
After Fred and others left the office, Shanna suddenly said after closing the door.
"The effect is the same anyway, and I hate repeating similar words." Albert's figure appeared without warning.
"Lest they think I'm scared. You know, the members of the association are very excited now and want to fight with the mysterious man and the Death Eaters." Albert shook his head and said, "But there is only one life, for that There is no point in working hard to do something.”
"I still think..." Shanna was about to say something when she was directly interrupted by Albert.
“They actually know it, they just don’t want to accept it. To be honest, it’s very annoying to talk to a group of guys who are covering their ears.”
“But if even you can’t convince them…”
"There are no ifs. We just need to tell them the specific situation and let them make their own choices." Albert said quietly, "We are all adults and need to be responsible for our actions. If we make a mistake and lose our lives, then that's okay." They only have themselves to blame."
Apparition is possible around the headquarters of the Defense Association, but no one will do that kind of stupid thing, because once you leave without permission, you cannot Apparate back.
This is also to prevent someone from knowing the location of the Defense Association headquarters from his memory after being caught by a Death Eater.
For this reason, Albert believes that they can make the right choice. People need to grow.
