Volume 7: A World with Bad Consequences Chapter 477: The Split Before It Started
Lucius led this group of pure-bloods down the manor.
In fact, he didn't even think that he could turn defeat into victory while leading this group of rabble. As long as these people could listen to his command and slightly improve the situation which was obviously already extremely bad, then everyone would still have hope of escaping.
But some among the purebloods did not think so, even though Lucius had already secured his command.
"We can't just rush out blindly." Amycus, the highest-ranking person in the Carrow family among the Death Eaters and a former professor at Hogwarts Castle, said gloomily. "Don't forget how we hid here. With the protection of the Fidelius Charm, no one can find this place as long as the Secret Keeper doesn't leak the secret! But now the people from the Wizarding World have come! I think we should sort out the internal affairs first!"
Lucius was extremely upset. Of course, he had thought about this matter before.
The reason why the pure-bloods are concentrated in Carrow Manor and are not afraid of being caught in one fell swoop is because they have absolute confidence that they can keep this base hidden. In fact, when everyone first moved in, the Carrow family once said shamelessly that even if the British Ministry of Magic was breached one day, this manor would definitely be safe.
However, the Ministry of Magic was not breached, and Diagon Alley was not breached either, but the Carrows' manor was attacked by people from the Wizarding Horizon without anyone noticing!
Of course, Lucius had thought about this question, but he was simply unwilling to delve into it and didn't even want to mention it.
At this point, are we still insisting on pacifying the country before fighting foreign enemies?
Everyone, run out first and save your life first!
But after Amycus said this, there was no way to take it back. In this narrow staircase, dozens of pure-bloods held wands in their hands and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Outside the manor, there were constant explosions and screams, and these sounds were obviously getting closer and closer. Those Aurors were no match for the people from the Wizarding Horizon!
Only Carlo's family knew who was the keeper of the Fidelius Curse's secret. Now that Amycus had raised this question but did not immediately name the person who leaked the secret, everyone present began to be wary of the people around them.
"So who is the secret-keeper who leaked the information?" Lucius tried his best to suppress his anger. "Point him out now!"
"It's Theodore from the MacMillan family! But he's gone! I've been looking for him since the beginning, but I can't find him anywhere!"
Lucius felt like he was going crazy.
"What's the point of talking about this if everyone is gone!"
Amycus turned his attention to the two young wizards who looked nervous.
"But his two nephews are still here! Even if he can leak the secret, it means that the McMillan family is not trustworthy! We must resolve this hidden danger first!"
With everyone's eyes fixed on them, the two young men from the McMillan family loudly defended themselves.
"We didn't know anything about this! No one except you knows that my uncle is the secret keeper! You can't implicate us in this!"
"But none of us can take any risks at this time!" Amycus' sister, the fat Alecto had pointed her wand at them and the people standing around them without them knowing.
The McMillan brothers seemed to be very popular among the purebloods. Many people of their age kept defending them, but such defense soon turned into quarrels, which made the situation more and more noisy and chaotic!
“That’s enough!!!”
Lucius's roar drowned out all other sounds.
He stared at the Carlo siblings with red eyes and spoke with heavy breathing.
"This is not the time to deal with internal issues! Either we go down and fight for all of us to stay alive! Or we all die here!"
However, at this time Amycus no longer expressed his conviction to Lucius, he snorted coldly.
"Of course we will fight, but we will never leave our backs to a few people who cannot be trusted! Let's go!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and led the way out. Immediately, a group of Carlo family members followed him, and several of their in-laws also followed after hesitating.
Before they even joined the battlefield, the purebloods were divided into two groups. Lucius knew that they could not wait any longer. If they allowed the Aurors to be eliminated one by one, it would be completely nonsense for them to rely on such a small number of people to find a way to survive!
"If you want to live, follow me!"
Of course, most of the remaining purebloods had no other choice but to follow Lucius to the end.
And on this side, there is a group of people led by the Carlo brothers and sisters.
Alecto approached her brother with a nervous look on her face .
“We are too few in number…”
Amycus just glared at her and lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear.
"It's all because of you. I don't know how you leaked the information! You can't explain it clearly even if I ask you. We can only kill one person first and let him take the blame in the name of his disappearance!"
Alecto knew she was in the wrong and couldn't say much on this issue, but she continued with her previous question.
"But why must we separate from Lucius and the others?"
"What do you think are our chances of surviving if we come together?"
After asking this question to his sister, Amycus suddenly raised his voice so that the other pure-bloods who had left Lucius' team with him could hear what he was saying.
"If only a few of us separate from them and let them attract the majority of attention, then we can all survive!"
Only now did these people finally understand why Amycus was determined to split with Lucius, and why he had the intention of intervening when Lucius had already secured the leadership.
There are many brainless idiots among pure-blood wizards, but when it comes to protecting themselves, they have almost all used their cleverness to the extreme.
In the current situation, Lucius pulled everyone out of the abyss and united them for self-protection. Amycus caused division and wanted to form a small group to act alone for self-protection.
Maintaining one's own interests is the main thing. As for the life and death of other pure-bloods and Voldemort's grand ambitions?
It’s none of their business.
Their master himself doesn't care , so how could this person care?
So, Amycus led these people in the opposite direction of Lucius and his men, trying to break out of the manor and escape!
