Chapter 229 227. Under the night

Lyon.

Hidden in the manor on the bustling street, hundreds of wizards in white robes gathered here.

The white robe has now become the uniform of everyone in the wizard line. It is the symbol of the seven dedicated people who first resisted Voldemort's rule in France, and it has been inherited.

Dumbledore finally stopped blocking the plan of attacking the correctional facility that most people in the wizard line agreed with.

He knew very well that this was not a question of rationality. This newly established, multi-party resistance organization must need a practical war to form cohesion.

At the beginning, he was always worried about failure, because whether in terms of numbers or high-end combat power, the wizard line had no advantage at all.

Voldemort's state is unstable, but except for himself, no one knows how much strength he can retain if he reaches the worst situation, and how he will fight with Dumbledore.

But after seriously communicating and understanding with many pro-war parties, Dumbledore saw the situation clearly.

Some wars cannot be avoided just because you know that the odds of winning are low from the beginning. He can rely on his remaining prestige to suppress those different voices.

But this cannot solve the contradiction. If the internal voice cannot be unified, there is no way to talk about stable development.

Voldemort is constantly strengthening his rule in France and absorbing more fresh blood. They are originally the weaker party, but they have always stopped moving forward, so there is no future at all.

So just give it a try. If you succeed, it means that Dumbledore’s purpose of bringing most members of the Order of the Phoenix to France has been achieved.

In this new battlefield opened up by Voldemort, maintain a stalemate head-on.

Even if they fail, they can try their best to preserve the main force, withdraw from France, retreat to Northern Europe, and continue to fight with the Northern European wizards under the support of Grindelwald.

If they win, everyone in the wizarding world will be happy. If they lose, at least the voices in the organization can be unified and they can move forward.

No matter what happens, it is much better than being in exile in the UK and doing some small things.

Dumbledore has always been sure that Voldemort's ambition will not stop at ruling the entire British Isles. He is so obsessed with and enjoys power. After becoming the dictator of the British magic world, he will want to get the whole of Europe, and after getting the whole of Europe, he will definitely become the master of the world.

If he stays in the UK and bullies others, it will be difficult for Dumbledore to get external support. No organization will give them too much practical help purely out of morality. Only when they are at the point of life and death will they think of counterattack.

And Voldemort's invasion of France is the opportunity that Dumbledore has been waiting for a long time, an opportunity to confront Voldemort on the front battlefield.

After nearly ten years of his rule, Britain's social structure has become stable. Many transformed Muggle wizards are gradually willing to be slaves. There are fewer and fewer rebels. Even if Hogwarts on the carriage can still absorb fresh blood, as long as the dark devil is still alive, it is destined to cause only small disturbances to Voldemort's government, but there is no hope of overthrowing him.

But when he began to show his fangs to the outside world and swallowed up most of France, Dumbledore and other exiled British wizards finally stopped fighting alone.

Voldemort's pressure will prompt all weak rebels to unite, and as long as they unite, there is still hope of overthrowing him!

So Dumbledore is in France at this time, instead of returning to Britain.

Under the premise that Voldemort has not experienced any failure, the British magic world must be stable. The absolute rule in the past ten years has forged his absolute prestige. Whether this prestige is awe or fear, it will not disappear before experiencing a failure like Waterloo.

Dumbledore considered everything before uniting French wizards and Nordic wizards in France to form the Wizarding Line.

And this new organization must now go through a baptism of war.

There is no doubt that even if there were objections to this action at the beginning, Dumbledore was still their leader.

Just like Voldemort has absolute prestige, even if Dumbledore's reputation is not as good as before, no one in the entire Wizarding Line can surpass him.

"Perhaps some of you still think that Dumbledore, the old man, has been beaten by that man. He has suffered a failure and dares not make any attempt to resist. He is always worried that he will lose again."

Dumbledore's voice was not loud, but it could be clearly heard by every wizard present.

"But in fact, no one can always win, just like fifty years ago, many people thought I would not win the duel, just like ten years ago, no one thought he could successfully capture Hogwarts Castle."

"I don't think failure is shameful, what is shameful is not daring to face your own failure."

"People may question that Dumbledore is old and has long lost the courage of his youth, but no one will doubt that Albus Dumbledore will give up the justice in his heart, so even if we have different opinions before, you have never had any objection to me."

"I lost Hogwarts Castle and became the most unsuccessful headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in history. That time, I lost many people. I have experienced the birth, aging, illness and death of countless people, but when familiar faces fell in front of me and I was powerless, I was really afraid."

"I am afraid that scene will appear in front of me for the second time. I don't care about my personal win or loss. What I care about is how many of our like-minded friends can survive after a failure."

Javier Iniesta stood on the left hand side of Dumbledore. He frowned and listened to this speech that was not very passionate and even a bit demoralizing. He was very puzzled.

"But I often tell others that death is just the beginning of another great adventure. I have used this sentence to enlighten others many times, and I am never afraid to complete my own journey of life."

"I will feel sad and sad for my friends' departure, but that is just mourning a farewell."

"Whether we can win or not, many people will definitely leave us. But in this journey in the world, you have climbed to the highest peak. In another adventure, you can hold up the champagne in your glass and show off to countless travelers that you have experienced it. What a great journey! "

"If there are tombstones everywhere after tomorrow, it means that we are holding a celebration party for the beginning of another adventure."

"If there happens to be a seat for me, I hope you don't record my name and life on it. Just engrave a sentence [a failed headmaster] and that's enough."

In the manor, the wizards in white robes looked at the old man who was smiling at them. In the cold temperature, their bodies couldn't help but heat up. Everyone held the wand in their hands tightly, and sweat kept coming out of their palms.

That was not fear, fear or retreat. They were excited, excited, and impatient.

The sky became dark at some point, and the night gradually fell, and the surroundings were dark.

Dumbledore whispered the last sentence before setting off, which was still not very passionate.

"My friends, when the night falls, it is also the time when the stars shine"
