"In short, where are the dragons? Can goblin magic transport them?"

Cornelius Fudge looked around, as if a dragon were hiding in the shadows of the hall, urging anxiously.

"We don't have much time. Before dawn, we need to figure out how to drive those bastards out of the Ministry of Magic—"

"Oh, rest assured, Gringotts has prepared everything for you, gentlemen, right here."

Douglas casually picked up two moss-green square boxes from the bank counter and handed them to Fudge. "However, this magic isn't actually goblin magic. We spent a lot of money commissioning wizards to create two disposable storage boxes for temporarily containing Ukrainian Ironbellies. When you arrive at the Ministry of Magic, remember to point the front forward and release them directly. We'll also have dragon tamers nearby..."

The Undetectable Extension Charm is a rather advanced spell, extremely prone to abuse.

Therefore, the Ministry of Magic has very strict limitations on the spell in its laws: the Undetectable Extension Charm cannot be used for private purposes but can only be used for the production of individual items approved by the relevant Ministry of Magic departments. Cornelius Fudge knew the principle when he saw the square boxes.

Theoretically, Gringotts could be considered to have been caught red-handed with contraband, but obviously, no one would be tactless enough to mention it.

"The front?" Cornelius Fudge asked, perplexed, fiddling with the green square box in his hand.

"Yes, it's marked... right here—"

Douglas said with a smile, pointing to the square box.

Cornelius Fudge followed the goblin's finger and noticed a light yellow text label printed on one side.

"This side... towards the enemy?"

"Exactly, please remember that—"

Douglas grinned, glancing at the plastic boxes imported from the Muggle world, and said meaningfully.

"I don't think you'd ever want to know what a magnificent sight it is from the front when they open—as for the goblin dragon tamers and goblin guards, they've been waiting outside the door for you for a long time. Please remember to bring them with you when you Apparate."

Clutching two light plastic square boxes in his arms, Cornelius Fudge and the others walked out of the doors of Gringotts Wizarding Bank in a daze.

When the slightly cold wind blew across his cheeks, the British Minister for Magic suddenly realized:

Now, he and the Ministry of Magic were going to face Voldemort?

And the only reinforcements were these two boxes and those few goblin "mercenaries" who were not even as tall as his navel.

If he didn't believe that Gringotts Wizarding Bank wouldn't dare to make fun of the Ministry of Magic in this situation, and because of the slightly cold night wind, he would even suspect that he was still in a very real nightmare. He originally just wanted to take a casual stroll to leech off the glory of the werewolf suppression. How did the plot develop to the point where he was leading most of the Aurors in Europe to "duel" Voldemort in a few hours? Cornelius Fudge still found it quite unreal.

Cornelius Fudge looked at the boxes in his hands and then at the Aurors from various countries gathered around, as well as the goblins.

The goblin "mercenaries" and dragon tamers were introducing themselves and looking for wizards among the Aurors to follow later.

It must be said that Gringotts' sincerity was quite sufficient—they mobilized more than forty goblins to participate in the aid.

According to the goblins' self-introductions, they were almost all from the front lines of Gringotts venture capital around the world. In terms of work content and experience, they were by no means inferior to the elite wizards of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. Obviously, Gringotts attached great importance to this cross-border cooperation with the Ministry of Magic.

Cornelius Fudge was very clear that Dumbledore was indispensable for the many years of peace in the British wizarding world. The safest way now was to wait for rescue, but... now that Voldemort was in the Ministry of Magic, he had to consider whether this was his only chance.

Cornelius looked around and ultimately failed to say, "Postpone the action and wait for Dumbledore to save the day."

He cleared his throat and vigorously waved his right hand.

"Let's go! To the British Ministry of Magic Atrium!"

…………

Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Magical Observation Hub.

Aurelia watched Cornelius Fudge and the others Apparate away and stretched comfortably.

"Okay, tell Hyperion to pick me up. I want to go back to school and sleep."

"Hyperion is on its way, expected to be ready for docking in ten minutes."

Douglas bowed respectfully and said, hesitating for a few seconds before looking at the little empress, who was yawning, in confusion.

"I still don't understand, Your Majesty—why did Cornelius Fudge agree so decisively? The Ministry of Magic turning into ruins, isn't that even worse for them? Clearly, as long as they waited for Dumbledore to arrive, they would have had a chance to regain territory more smoothly..."

"No, you're wrong, that's the worst."

Aurelia yawned and answered casually.

"No matter what, tonight's misjudgment by Cornelius Fudge and Scrimgeour will inevitably be frantically attacked by the magical society."

"Cornelius Fudge can't make up for his mistakes no matter what he does now. In order to 'survive,' he only has one path to choose—to make the Ministry of Magic suffer an 'act of God' level attack. If people discover a Ministry of Magic with a few broken walls the next day, everyone will only think that the officials of the magical government are all useless. But if people discover the Ministry of Magic has become a living hell the next day, that's another story."

"Don't think that the officials of the Ministry of Magic are all mediocre. In some areas, they are much more talented than goblins."

"Then will Gringotts have to concede profits in the Ministry of Magic's renovation?" Douglas nodded in realization and asked seriously.

Aurelia chuckled and played with her hair boredly.

"If you want to maximize profits, it's best to raise the price as much as possible. In terms of construction evaluation, decoration and restoration, and security deployment, our Gringotts should be able to provide highly professional global analysis files. Of course, we can give some discounts, but don't be too humble."

"But, even if the analysis files are objective and professional, the Ministry of Magic will inevitably not agree to those plans that clearly exceed the budget..."

Douglas frowned. He had a lot of experience dealing with Ministry of Magic officials, and he was very clear about wizards' greed.

"From now on, we have to tell the world a truth..."

Aurelia gently raised her finger, shook it, and slowly interrupted Douglas's words.

"In the financial field, only goblins can defeat goblins for now—"

"Those top goblin analysts, goblin business specialists... their talents shouldn't only shine inside Gringotts. Let them work in various Ministries of Magic, and then truly fight with Gringotts on contracts—the benefits they win for the Ministries of Magic of various countries will become the cornerstone for goblins to survive in the human world. There's nothing more persuasive than this pledge of loyalty..."

Aurelia paused for a few seconds, and a bewitching look flashed in her lake-blue eyes.

"As for Gringotts, it's a good opportunity for the newcomers to hone their skills..."
