"Alright." Andre also knew that Clent's mories were of imnse value, so he imdiately nodded and replied, "Then we'll stay here to help Newt contain those magical creatures. Don't push yourself too hard; getting those mories is more important to us."
"Don't worry, I've gotten all the information I need from Clent. I'll be quick this ti." With that, Alan didn't waste any more ti with them. He opened the window and flew out directly.
Alan indeed didn't spend much ti on this trip, returning from outside in just over half an hour. And the harvest this ti was incredibly rich. Clent had specifically set up a Pensieve in his secret chamber, and Alan extracted enough mory threads from it to fill two large boxes. However, due to the tight schedule, he didn't examine them one by one, prioritizing their safe storage instead.
At the sa ti, in Clent's secret chamber, besides these mories, Alan also discovered a large number of ledgers recording a massive amount of magical creature transactions. Although these ledgers were not as valuable as the mories, they were still very precious materials. From this, it could be seen that Clent was quite the old scher. He always had two plans for everything. If the Silver Spears truly collapsed one day, this old fellow might be the first to defect.
After finishing this trip, Alan found that Newt, Hagrid, and the others still hadn't completed the reception of the magical creatures. After all, the number of magical creatures in the park was simply too large, especially those high-risk ones. Just moving one took a lot of ti. Upon discovering this situation, Alan and Andre agreed that they couldn't wait any longer. They had to seize the ti to prioritize taking down the other two parks.
So they decided to split into two groups, leaving Newt and Hagrid to continue handling the magical creatures here, and arranging for three Aurors to watch over the unconscious wizards. The rest re-entered Alan's briefcase, and he led them to attack the other two parks. Although this ant that, including Newt and the three Aurors, the attacking personnel were reduced by four, experts like Andre, Alia, Moody, and Scrimgeour were all capable of holding their own. After experiencing one practical application of standardized tactical movents, they were fully capable of bearing the heavy responsibility of one person controlling one wizard dormitory, not to ntion that Shalltear had now returned to the team and could also contribute her strength.
The attacks on the other two parks were also uneventful.
Although Alan used a different external infiltration thod when launching surprise attacks on these two parks compared to No. 1 Park, due to collecting enough information from the core hub of No. 1 Park, he was able to break through the outer barrier silently without alerting the enemies inside. Therefore, these two operations were basically equivalent to re-enacting the No. 1 Park scenario twice.
First, Alan directly bypassed the periter patrol personnel and infiltrated the interior, then released seven attack teams under the Disillusionnt Charm to take down the patrol personnel and night-shift dical wizards. He then followed the sa pattern to simultaneously break down doors and control the residential dormitories, and finally, Alan dealt with the periter patrol wizards.
Of course, part of the reason for this smooth progression was also the highly uniform internal layout of these parks. These two parks, whether in terms of defense, personnel allocation, or internal architectural layout, were basically no different from No. 1 Park. The two surprise attacks, combined, didn't take more than three hours, and it wasn't even dawn after completing the mission.
This was the benefit of standardizing tactics and detailing processes. To be honest, Alan's set of operations also opened the eyes of many Aurors. Even the battle-hardened Andre marveled at this so-called standardized tactic. It was his first ti experiencing such a large-scale ard operation, and also the first ti completing an attack mission so easily.
In the entire Concentric Circles plan, dozens of wizards participating in the operation were from different countries, yet after just one day of training, they completed this seemingly arduous task with extre teamwork, like ten fingers on a hand. At this point, the most crucial assault plan of the Concentric Circles operation had been completed. Not long after, the preliminary statistics for these three parks were all released.
As of now, the Concentric Circles plan has captured 528 individuals, including 273 wizards and 255 Muggles. The total number of magical creatures is 1,231, among which 227 are high-risk magical creatures of XXXX-class and above, with 14 dragons alone.
To be honest, such a large scale of personnel and magical creatures greatly shocked veterans like Newt, Alia, and Andre, who were accustod to grand scenes. And this was actually not the maximum capacity that these three parks could accommodate. The three breeding bases were not fully filled internally. The No. 1 Park had the most population and magical creatures, with less than one-third of the area vacant. Another park in West Germany was only a little over half-filled, and while the park in East Germany was relatively full, it was the smallest base in terms of land area, so its absolute number was still the smallest. If all three parks were completely filled, the number of magical creatures would likely exceed 2,000.
So after taking down the three parks, the truly troubleso, or rather, tedious work had just begun.
These wizards and Muggles were easy to handle; they could be directly controlled with the Levitation Charm, loaded into Alan's briefcase, and then transferred to that underground giant warehouse. During this ti, the team just needed to manage them well, ensure the distribution of food and daily necessities, and prevent any deaths. So, after successfully taking down these three breeding bases, Alan imdiately and tirelessly cramd all the captives into his briefcase, along with daily necessities, food, drinking water, and other supplies, and transported them to the underground warehouse.
He then put away the Vanishing Cabinet in the warehouse, and temporarily modified the Floo Network connection of the fireplace there, linking it to a safe house provided by Andre, so that future entry and exit from this warehouse would no longer require the Vanishing Cabinet. At the sa ti, the selection of personnel to guard these captives was also a top priority.
Firstly, the guards could not be soft-hearted individuals. When dealing with these civilian wizards, if they were even slightly lenient, it would be easy for the situation to get out of control. If these wizards united to cause trouble, they must be suppressed with thunderous ans. For this, Alan's first choice was Moody. This guy usually didn't give strangers a good look, let alone a bunch of Silver Spears accomplices.
So he arranged for Moody to be in charge of this stronghold, and also assigned the nine experienced Hit Wizards and six relatively steady British Aurors to guard these people. At the sa ti, Alan also specifically instructed them to be cautious in their words and actions, to put themselves in the shoes of the Silver Spears, and not to be too polite when dealing with these wizards and Muggles. The act had to be complete, and for this, Alan even specially added voice-changing plugins to their masks to prevent their identities from being recognized in the future.
Moody readily accepted this arrangent, but when Alan saw Moody grin and accept the task, he beca a little uneasy. This led Alan to specifically remind Moody not to cause any deaths. He was genuinely afraid that Moody, either in a bad mood or in an overly good mood, might excitedly kill soone to celebrate.
And after arranging matters at the warehouse stronghold, Alan focused all his energy on dealing with the magical creatures in the breeding parks.
In fact, the truly troubleso ones were those magical creatures. Newt hadn't expected so many magical creatures to need housing before he ca. Food, dicine, and other supplies were sufficient because Alan had instructed them beforehand. But his briefcase couldn't accommodate so many magical creatures at once, not to ntion that besides their vast numbers, these magical creatures were also of many types: flying, land-dwelling, and many aquatic ones.
This also led to slow progress when transferring them, but they couldn't directly house these magical creatures in the parks. After all, this was enemy territory. One or two days might be fine, but if it took too long and was discovered, the trouble would be huge. Therefore, Newt could only grit his teeth, dragging his old bones, and tirelessly transport them back and forth between Britain and Germany.
However, Alan had calculated that even with this thod, it would take at least three days to clear all the magical creatures from the parks. Regarding this, everyone had no better solution. Fortunately, Alan had just acquired a pair of Vanishing Cabinets. With this equipnt, traveling between the two countries was finally relatively easier; at least they didn't have to endure the torturous travel thod of a Portkey every ti.
He first had Newt take one Vanishing Cabinet and the first batch of loaded magical creatures back to Britain using a Portkey. Once Newt had settled the magical creatures there, he would return to Germany directly through the Vanishing Cabinet. The next step was to continuously load and transport from one park after another.
They knew their ti was very tight. Alan was aware that the disappearance of Clent and the others would soon arouse the club's suspicion. At the sa ti, because of a severe drop in recent smuggling volu, the Silver Spears had already started using magical creatures from the parks to compensate. In a few days, it would be the transfer ti, and then the Silver Spears from the club would definitely contact the parks, and at that ti, the true situation inside would easily be exposed.
Alan had no better solution for this than to speed up the transfer, as he wasn't a god and couldn't conjure hundreds of people out of thin air. Fortunately, they now had Newt's briefcase and Alan's Vanishing Cabinet, which greatly accelerated the transport efficiency.
Coupled with Alan, Hagrid, Newt, Professor Kettleburn, and others personally suppressing the high-risk magical creatures, and including all the other Aurors, the newly returned Shalltear, and non-human companions like Hog and Thor, all operating at full capacity, the entire transport process proceeded with minimal complications.
