"Where is the relocation of Muggle residents going?"

"The furthest team from here has already arrived at Telford... However, since the walking route of the living corpses may not be able to stay in a straight line, it is best to move as many other cities as possible along the way.

…”

"Well, Dartford? I understand... Send a signal to all the units fighting on the battlefield, and all the suppression teams will alternately retreat five miles before the fog comes over!"

"yes!"

Based on the blocking effect so far, it is actually not yet time to retreat. If possible, the longer the group of living zombies can be blocked here, the better.

It is best to remove all the living corpses directly here, so that the number of casualties among ordinary residents can be reduced to a minimum.

However, the fog that moved from London added many unknowns to the subsequent clearing operation. Without knowing what will happen after being shrouded in fog, retreating in time is the wisest choice.

And it must be said that it was Maka who decisively gave up the resolution to fight for the Federation and allowed the Muggle migration plan to be implemented immediately. This gave Kingsley more room to deal with the mist move accident.

.

If the back of the battlefield is still full of Muggle residents, the extermination team will have no retreat at all.

But a moment later, while Kingsley was a little anxiously waiting for news from the exploration team that had set out to the other side of the fog, one of the Aurors who had just issued the evacuation notice brought him a message.

Not so good news.

"Minister! Because Mr. Potter is still among the living corpses, Sirius refuses to lead the team to retreat."

"That guy," Kingsley suddenly shook his head when he heard this, "he said he was absolutely confident about the Potter kid, but in the end he wasn't the one who was most worried! Forget it, we can't blame him."

Although he was thinking this, he still waved his hand decisively and said:

"The retreat order remains unchanged, but...let the teams near Sirius's team be ready to respond at any time!"

…

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and even Kingsley, who has strong adaptability on the spot, cannot cover everything in detail.

Therefore, one of the key points of leading the front line is to remain unchanged in response to changes, and only by not making big mistakes can the safety of the vast majority of people be ensured.

When necessary, giving up is also an option.

In other words, if Sirius does not retreat when the fog drifts into the battlefield, for the smooth execution of the plan and the safety of more people, Kingsley will not let any team help him.

At most, the team nearby can provide some support, which is the limit.

Of course, Sirius himself clearly knew that Kingsley's decision was the right one, and he would have done the same thing in his place.

"Brown, when the fog comes over later, you will be responsible for leading the team to retreat."

"Sirius, what about... you?"

"You don't have to worry about me."

Sirius held the wand in his hand and waved spells one after another while entrusting the task of leading the team to an elite member of the team without any hesitation.

In battle, hesitation is definitely a taboo. After hearing this, the team member said nothing and just nodded silently.

Fortunately, at this moment, Sirius suddenly saw a bloody figure rushing out of the group of living corpses.

"Harry!"

"Sirius?"

Harry, who had just escaped from the enemy group, glanced here, but without pausing, he swung the sword, which was still as sharp as ever, backhand like a reflex.

The next moment, the two zombies chasing him were immediately cut off from the waist, and fell to the ground with a "plop", tripping several enemies behind them.

After doing all this, Harry stepped heavily on the ground with his sword and quickly arrived at the front line of the suppression team.

"Harry, be careful"

Although his movements were still nimble, his physical strength seemed to be on the verge of being exhausted. After breaking through the siege and returning here, he suddenly staggered. If Sirius hadn't reached out to help him, he would have fallen to the ground on the spot.

"Are you okay? Are you injured?"

Harry's body was covered in thick, dark red blood. At first glance, it was impossible to tell whether he had any injuries. However, one look at the sword he held in his left hand revealed that there must be something wrong with his right arm.

But even so, Harry still shook his head.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired... Just take a rest." He said with some difficulty, "Let's not talk about this for now... The fog has drifted to the end of the zombie army, causing all the teams to retreat immediately... Well, no.

, you take me to Kingsley, I want to report some important information to him!"

"Okay! I'll send you there right now..." Sirius was saying, suddenly made a move, then looked into Harry's eyes and frowned, "You seem to have something wrong? What happened?"

"Um?"

Harry put his hand on Sirius's shoulder and panted lightly. When he was asked this question, he hesitated for a moment, then wiped the blood on his face and said:

"I met...Aunt Petunia."

Yes, even though Harry's head and face were covered in blood, he couldn't hide his depressed expression. Sirius, who was experienced in this area, was almost certain that the dim look in his eyes was not just caused by fatigue.

.

And when Sirius heard Harry say the name "Aunt Petunia", he knew exactly what made Harry act so confused.

However, just when he was about to say something to wake Harry up, he saw Harry shaking his head at him instead.

"Sirius, needless to say... I had already made the corresponding mental preparations when I decided to come here to join the battle in place of Hermione and the others. Although... well, when I really faced that reality, even if

The other party is Aunt Petunia, and it seems to be an extremely harsh trial for me too!"

Having said this, Harry shook his head again, then grinned at Sirius and said:

"Let's go! There is one thing that must be conveyed to Kingsley as soon as possible... that is, my feet are a bit unruly. Please take me there!"

Harry has indeed grown up. Even if he faces the cruel reality alone, he can bear it with strength.

While Sirius was secretly sighing, he stopped delaying and carried Harry on his back after a short pause. Harry must have been injured, but he did not choose to use levitation when he could not use his followers to reveal themselves.

Instead of using magic like a curse, he decided to carry Harry there himself.

"Harry, just now you said, 'Come here instead of Hermione and the others'... Did you come here alone today?"

While running fast, Sirius asked casually while panting slightly.
