All things are three at Hogwarts

After that, Leonard no longer paid attention to these ghosts who could actually do nothing. He acted on his own. He himself was an activist who just did what he said, and started the task of helping Irving contact other defense areas.

Leonard acted as a liaison between the Kingdom and the United States, explaining the situation to these defense strongholds and showing the evidence he learned from Owen about the Death to his colleagues who did not believe in the Magic Kingdom. Let them check it out in person by non-fireplace means.

In fact, the defense zones established by most other American wizards are quite peaceful. They can listen to Leonard's advice and obey his suggestions. Most of the people in charge know this after losing contact with Chairman Picquery. Failure is inevitable, not to mention the Americans in the Magic Kingdom who are determined to resist. In addition to those who are for freedom, many of them are because they were on the list previously given by the Kingdom, saying that they were related to the previous attack on the Greek Duel Competition. Connected. ?

But now that they have received a promise from the kingdom that they will no longer be held accountable for these responsibilities, they followed the steps given by Leonard and decided to surrender to the United Nations. They rationally believed that they should not make any more unnecessary sacrifices. .

However, in the stronghold of the hawks of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, Leonard's work of persuading him to surrender encountered the greatest obstacles in the defense area in charge of the radical Congressman Donald.

"Even if the United Kingdom does not hold those of us accountable, it cannot surrender after we have put in so much effort to resist!" Donald's head phantom stood upright in the flames of the fireplace, and his face under his disheveled hair looked... Up there, thin and haggard, "Leonard! You should be ashamed! I should have known better than to trust you Tories!"

"Donald! The situation is different from before. There is no point in sacrificing blindly anymore!" Leonard actually felt a little ashamed, but he could only helplessly explain to the old stubborn in front of him, "Now there is no longer a relationship between the country and the country. It is not a struggle between countries, but a matter of life and death for the entire world. If you don’t believe it, you can see it for yourself..."

"Even if it's true, isn't that the suffering that these Kingdom people have brought to us?!!!" Donald looked at Leonard sideways and sneered, "Leonard, you are so hypocritical. You were in Congress back then. What about your spirit of never surrendering? As a result, Ilvermorny was taken away by the United Kingdom without any effort, and now you want to surrender with all the defense areas in the Rocky Mountains. You are a traitor and a sinner of the United States...I tell you, Stop being delusional!"

"Donald, Chairman Picquery has disappeared! What we originally envisioned has no way of realizing it! Since it will fall sooner or later, why not reduce losses and save strength to fight against the enemies of the entire world." Leonard took out a card A photo of the main defense zone, which had become a dark place, was shown to Donald, "If it weren't for this incident, I would have chosen to continue resisting, but open your eyes and see clearly, do you want America to become a cemetery?"

"Stop fooling me with photos you don't know to be true or false!" Donald, an elderly man, turned his face and looked out the window. He stubbornly insisted on letting out an angry roar, "As long as my defense zone is there! The American wizarding world will It will not perish! Leonard, except for the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, these kingdom wizards cannot break into my defense area! Even if Alan Harris comes in person, he will only be greeted by the alchemy bomb of the slow tunnel. We can fight with him Let's go to hell together!" The old man wiped his saliva and continued shouting, "The American wizarding community will not perish! I will not let the free United States be annexed by the greedy United Kingdom! I..."

This stubborn old wizard who was inspired by Leonard at the beginning could not accept it at all when he saw that Leonard was actually taking the lead in surrendering to the United Kingdom. He scolded Leonard and called for resistance to the tyranny of the Kingdom. The American wizard went to his stronghold and stated righteously that he would die with the invaders.

Rumble!

Suddenly the ground shook, interrupting Donald's shouting. Leonard and Owen, who heard the noise, both came to the bunker that had been demolished and looked outside. Another section of the Rocky Mountains rose into the sky with a huge white Thick smoke.

Leonard, who was about to speak, froze for a moment. He only moved his eyes left and right, glancing at the place in the fireplace where Donald's illusion disappeared, and Owen's mouth also twitched slightly.

"Report..." Percy Weasley panted and ran from the other side of the office. Although he was a little panicked, he did not forget to bow to Owen, "Minister... The Yellowstone volcano has partially erupted... Sir Donald's defense zone seems to be included... "

Percy, as the accompanying recorder, was specially brought here as an entourage by Owen this time. It was entirely because Owen saw that Arthur's recently developed product was very popular in the market, so he was the only one in the Weasley family. In return, my son's political resume, which works for the Ministry of Magic, looks a little brighter.

However, this kid's untimely shouting in public made Owen regretful. He noticed that Leonard, who had just covered his head and turned around, frowned and looked at him inquiringly after hearing the volcano. This also reminded Owen of what he had done to him before. Boasting...threatening that his staff planned to blow up the Yellowstone volcano to fill the underground tunnels with lava...

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense... I will never allow my men to do such a thing." Owen looked innocent and waved his hands and shook his head to explain urgently. Seeing that they didn't believe it, Owen asked Percy directly, "Yellowstone How does a volcano erupt? What causes it?"

Percy was a little confused by Owen's expression. He quickly asked the front line about his badge. After getting the exact information, Owen spread his hands to Leonard and the others.

"Uh... Minister, the Yellowstone volcano erupts cyclically about every six hundred thousand years. It was originally estimated that it would enter the eruption cycle within a few decades..." Percy also realized that he might have misunderstood the Americans just now, and he told Renner De's attitude was obviously tougher and he explained, "Sir Leonard... That's a volcano... It's normal for you to dig channels like this... It's normal to dig out lava... Mr. Donald raised his hand to collect more people who were unwilling to surrender. American Wizards therefore want to expand…”

"Anyway...Leonard, we'd better move faster..." Owen said with some embarrassment, "While it's just a local incident, go and block it so that the surrounding Muggles don't notice it..."

In the end, whether the American wizards believed it or not, although the actual manpower losses in the Donald Defense Zone were not much, and the wizards immediately disapparated and fled, the material losses and the lack of hope of victory made this accident a success. This was the last straw, which led to the disunity of people in the defense area, and finally had to surrender to the United Magic Kingdom.
