“What else would I order?”

From just now, this sentence has been swirling in Ron's head. But no matter what he thinks, he can't think of what else he can do when facing the situation in front of him.

At this moment, he couldn't help but realize again how mediocre and powerless he was as one of Hermione, Harry, Neville and even Maka's friends.

Not to mention Maka and Harry who holds the Sword of Gryffindor, even if it is replaced by Hermione who seems to be closer, in this case, she will definitely be able to come up with various means to adequately resist the powerful enemy.

Preparation.

Oh no, rather, this is actually Hermione's strength, right?

"call"

Suddenly, Ron shook his head and gently exhaled the turbid air in his chest.

To be honest, although Ron still can't get rid of the negative emotions of depression and loss, he has learned to adjust after all.

He knew that if he allowed the depression in his heart to grow like crazy, then it would be good if he didn't cause more trouble, let alone find a way to do something!

However, if you force yourself to calm down first and don't let those messy thoughts affect your judgment, you can at least prevent yourself from making some stupid mistakes that you should never make.

After he emptied his head for a moment, he started searching again, thinking about the question that might never be answered. Faced with the dilemma that the dark wizard might come back at any time, what else could he do?

After a long while, he finally prayed secretly:

"Bless me Merlin, let Maka come here quickly! It's not that I have no spine, the point is... I really can't do it! There are so many lives here! I can't afford it!"

And at the next moment, it seemed that the prayer in his heart was really heard... However, the person who heard it was not Merlin, or even Maka.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from the stairs at the back, and soon he saw a figure running three steps at a time downstairs.

"There is something going on in the cornfield outside! Strengthen alerts at all locations immediately and check all protective spells!"

Just as he was speaking, the small Auror suddenly turned around and looked quickly towards Ron.

"Mr. Weasley?"

Looking at the gaze that looked towards him, and the more gazes that followed, Ron didn't even have the time to hesitate.

Everyone knows now that this is not the time to hesitate!

"Just do that," he said immediately. "In addition, the injured will be moved to the second floor immediately. Once the defense cannot be defended, they will apparate away immediately!"

Do you think you have to withdraw when the situation turns bad?

But it must be said that "fighting and running" is indeed a reasonable choice under any circumstances, and it can be said to be the first choice in terms of stop loss.

Although then, morale is likely to plummet, and if the enemy catches up again, the possibility of being defeated will be greatly increased.

Especially an unprepared temporary retreat like Ron's is actually more like a gamble of life and fate.

"Mr. Weasley, I think I have to warn you."

Suddenly, Mr. Derwent, the therapist next to Ron, pointed out in a low voice:

"Leaving aside other injuries, at least Mr. Tucker... I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand the crushing and shock during the appearance of the follower!"

But when Ron heard this, he gritted his teeth and said:

"I'll stay."

There is no doubt that even if he stays, it seems that he still can't do anything. But obviously, this decision can also be said to be a decision of Ron Weasley.

Mr. Tucker, who was lying on the floor, was actually on the verge of death. It was only because of Neville's white essence that he managed to survive until now.

In order to ensure the safety of more people, Ron felt that it was better to just give up on him!

However, does one person really have the right to make decisions for another person? Especially when that person’s most important, precious and priceless thing is life!

Ron felt that he probably didn't have that right, so he could only compensate the other party with his own life. Maybe, this could be considered a small amount of compensation?

He didn't know whether he was right or wrong in thinking so, but he didn't want to weigh the importance of it. His mind was not very good to begin with, and it would be impossible to get results if he was too entangled in this kind of thing.

However, for those Aurors and Derwent who did not understand Ron's true strength, Ron's decision seemed to have no problem.

Not only that, they even thought it was a good idea.

Ron had said before that he was not as good at actual combat as Neville. But the word "not good" did not mean that he was really bad.

Think of Longbottom, think of McClane!

If we use their level of strength as a benchmark, the combined strength of everyone here might only be described as "not good at".

Therefore, when Ron proposed that he stay, everyone seemed very excited.

"Yes, Mr. Weasley's strength may not be enough to estimate the number of us, but if it is just Tucker, it will be no problem, right? Not to mention, Mr. Weasley is equivalent to having to do it alone.

Everyone retreats to the rear to avoid being detected by the other party where they are going."

Although when facing that group of dark wizards, it seems that Aurors and strikers will have to be reduced to "fleeing hastily", which is indeed very frustrating. But when necessary, they can avoid it appropriately to save their lives.

Living with vitality is also a reliable strategy and tactic.

"Understood!"

The thin Auror who came down to report the enemy's situation nodded immediately, then turned around and returned upstairs. At the same time, the team members who were waiting at their respective positions also nodded to Ron.

Ron could only nod slightly reluctantly... Although he seemed to be quite calm at the moment, only he knew that this was just the calmness he was trying to pretend.

However, now that the order has been issued, there is no possibility of changing it.

He did not continue to agonize over whether his decision was appropriate. He immediately called on several slightly injured team members to join him and helped other injured people who had difficulty moving up to the second floor.

After a moment, an unknown Auror who was watching the situation outside let out a low voice, and everyone including Ron tensed up.

Those hateful... no, they are "terrible" dark wizards, they are here!

"You guys go on, I'll... go down there and have a look!" Ron couldn't help but say this.
