harry potter book of crimes

If it were just an ordinary tide of living corpses, Hermione wouldn't actually be too worried. After all, this was not the first time she had faced a crisis of this level.

Even if the living corpses all over the mountains and plains attack, it will not be more panic-stricken than a giant demon.

However, if it is said that a group of "organized" zombies are coming from the east, the nature is completely different. At least, Hermione has never seen those zombies that are almost driven by instinct.

What kind of discipline can there be? Even the groups of living corpses that were frequently encountered in Winchester Cathedral with Haierbo guiding them were at best a group of moths sulking into the flames.

But this time, Blois said that the living corpses moving here are "organized"!

Hermione naturally trusted the judgment of the dignified head of the Blois family. So she immediately realized that her suspicions about the group of living corpses had begun to move in the worst direction.

"Mr. Blois," Hermione said as she looked at the man walking in front of her, "Where are those 'organized' zombies now? How many are they?"

"They should have passed Seaton Town. As for the specific number - it seems that because of the long-distance attack, their team has been stretched very long. I will come back and tell you about this first. I will leave it to Sa to confirm the approximate number.

Fenna."

"Seaton?"

The map was actually spread out on the table aside, but Hermione didn't even lower her head to take a look... After looking at it every day for so many days, how could she still not remember the place clearly? What's more,

England is her hometown.

After hearing Blois announce the location, Hermione immediately turned to Hannah and Ginny and said:

"Sound the alarm, enter a state of war preparation, and go immediately!"

"good."

After the two of them ran out quickly, she looked at Blois again and continued:

"Then... have you seen the leader among those organized groups of living corpses? Or... have you found any traces of the devil?"

"At least I didn't," Blois shook his head. "I don't know about Safina. I only met her briefly."

Hearing this, Hermione couldn't help but nodded slightly, and then said somewhat worriedly:

"I know... I wish I didn't!"

I remember that when she was talking to Neville just now, Hermione mentioned that she didn't think the movement of the living corpses was a bad thing. Because the vast majority of people in this stronghold actually need a better fight than usual to deal with wandering people.

A more intense battle between living zombies is used to boost morale and confidence...or at least to test the stronghold defense that everyone has put so much effort into building.

However, what Hermione wants is just a proper battle, not this kind of tough battle that may lead to a life-or-death fight!

If those organized living corpses were really controlled and commanded by demons, Hermione could not say with certainty that the stronghold that everyone had tried their best to establish would be able to keep out all enemies.

"...It would be great if Delphi could stay here."

After muttering something like this, Hermione immediately completely threw away the worry and regret on her face. Because she knew very well that Mr. Blois was just in front of her. At least her dejected look could not be let go.

What the volunteer wizards outside saw.

"Mr. Blois, I have to go to the east tower, you—"

"Don't worry, since I chose to come here, I will definitely do what I need to do." Blois still said calmly, "I have told you the situation, and I should go back and talk to Safina again.

Let’s meet.”

After that, he walked out of the door even before Hermione and went straight to the east of the Burrow.

Yes, as the head of the Blois family, he naturally means what he says. Although, he has always been doing things on his own and has never really followed Hermione's command. At most, it is his actions.

It happened to be exactly what Hermione wanted him to do.

Seeing Blois hurriedly leave from the door, Hermione didn't delay any more and immediately followed her out the door. After looking back at the door and looking towards the roof, Hermione immediately headed towards the magic tower to the east.

Ran away.

"Is there another trouble coming?"

On the roof of the high burrow, Sarah was actually glancing at Hermione's leaving figure, frowning slightly thoughtfully.

Because the enemy had not encountered her puppet this time, Sarah did not know about this matter in advance as usual.

But she actually doesn't care too much about this. After all, the only thing she has to do now is to maintain the alchemy barrier here. As for the work of confronting those living corpses, demons, and even Haierbo...

Perhaps only when the defense of this stronghold is really breached will she take action herself.

This is not because Sarah relies on her own strength. On the contrary, she is very aware that she is not good at fighting directly with others, so she makes the choice to retreat to the rear.

The Hohenheim family's alchemy is not for head-to-head confrontation with the enemy.

So after frowning at Hermione's leaving figure, Sarah quickly raised her head and cast her gaze into the distance again. Through the alchemical barrier with a light green halo in front of her, she could

She saw that there was nothing unusual as far as she could see, but she probably already understood that an enemy would be coming soon.

…

"Dang...dang...dang..."

When Hermione followed the warning magic bell and climbed up to the east tower, came to the observation deck and looked outside, the scene she saw was actually very similar to Sarah. But think about it, Mr. Blois

Having said that, those abnormal zombie teams should have just passed through Seaton Town, so they definitely couldn't have appeared in her sight so quickly.

After all, Blois and Safina's approach of expanding the scope of their patrol was effective. The distance was long or short, but it was enough for the stronghold to make all the preparations it could.

At this moment, in the several towers on the periphery of the stronghold, in the fortifications on the edge of the alchemical barrier, and in the many tents inside the stronghold, there were figures of people hurriedly coming and going everywhere.

Hermione looked at the distance to the east for a moment, and after finding that there was nothing to pay attention to yet, she looked back again. In addition to the busy scene of many volunteer wizards, she saw that Harry and others were also there.

Prepare each one for the coming battle.

As for Hannah and Ginny who had run to ring the magic clock earlier, although Hermione hadn't seen them yet, she knew that they must have gone to the core of the rune array to wait for orders.

Not long after, everyone in the stronghold will be in place according to the arrangements during the rehearsal.

"In that case, let's do it!"

Hermione looked at all this and couldn't help but murmured to herself.
