"Rumble--"

Explosions were still ringing out one after another from outside, and the protective barrier covering the stronghold was like an overturned salad bowl, shaking frequently with the explosions, scattering little bits of silver.

Many wizards and wizards in the stronghold were coming and going in a hurry. Although they were anxious, there was not much fear on their faces and they were still doing what they should do in an orderly manner.

They all entered this disaster place based on their own will. It can be said that everyone has been mentally prepared to die in struggle and resistance.

It must be said that they are the real warriors in the European magic world. Even though their strength is relatively insufficient, none of them are willing to back down.

Because they know in their hearts that when the disaster is out of control, someone has to stand up.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, one of them waved his wand and brought a box of emergency potions. The witch hurriedly passing in front of the Burrow paused and subconsciously raised her head.

After being stunned for a moment, she couldn't help but look up at the sky and said to herself with some surprise:

"The barrier... seems to be stabilizing again?"

Just now, Hermione has issued the latest instructions. According to the plan, once this second protective barrier is broken, Sarah will reopen her alchemical barrier to block the enemy group. At the same time, Safin

Nana, Harry, Mr. Blois, and even Hermione herself will all fight against the invading enemies and completely start the retreat process.

It is said that Hermione has some follow-up measures after that, but that has nothing to do with volunteers like them, so no details are given.

However, no matter what backup plan Hermione has left, once this barrier is broken, it will definitely mean that the "Nail Plan" has failed. This is undesirable for anyone who hopes to successfully resist the disaster.

of.

Therefore, when the witch found that the barrier protecting the stronghold had stabilized under the high-intensity attack of the zombie army, she even had an excited smile on her face.

However, she was very happy. Before the new instructions came down, what she should do would not change. The witch just paused and soon continued to run forward with the box, but the pace seemed

It's also much lighter.

And not long after she left the door of the Burrow, under the stairs in the living room of the Burrow, the trap door suddenly moved, and then was suddenly pushed open by a hand from the inside.

"Crack."

The trap door turned over and leaned diagonally against the back of the stairs. Immediately afterwards, two figures were seen hurriedly crawling out from below.

Obviously, these are Ginny and Hannah who are responsible for maintaining the core of the array in the basement. At the moment, it can be seen that the two people who just came up from below are both red-faced, panting, sweat on their foreheads, and even the ends of their hair are wet.

Sweat stuck to my cheeks.

At this moment, the protective barrier was restored to stability, which was naturally the result of the two of them. However, although the temporary change of formation was successful, they were exhausted for a while.

"Huh... the air up there is indeed much fresher..."

Hannah held her knees and took two deep breaths, and couldn't help but sigh. But at this moment, she heard Ginny beside her suddenly say:

"Where's Ron? Isn't his job to stay in the living room and guard the basement entrance? Where are the others?"

After hearing this, Hannah straightened up, raised her head, and followed Ginny, who was looking around, and took two steps.

"Could there be other tasks? You know, there is obviously an emergency happening outside, otherwise we wouldn't need to activate the registration -"

"No!" Ginny shook her head decisively, "You also know how important the core of this rune array is... In fact, Hermione originally planned to let Harry stay here if it was not estimated that the external combat power might not be enough.

Those who defend the formation. Not to mention, Ron..."

Although it is obviously not good to say something like this, Ron's lack of combat ability is a fact after all. Even if more people are needed outside to help, Ron will not be handed over too, right?

Ginny shook her head again and swallowed back what may have been a somewhat unfair statement to Ron - in fact, in the final analysis, as a younger sister, Ginny was actually more worried at this time.

"...I hope he's okay."

After a quick search in the living room, they found that Ron was indeed not there. Ginny and Hannah hurriedly ran out of the Burrow and went straight to the east tower.

…

If it really comes to the point where a temporary change of formation needs to be registered, Hannah and Ginny will definitely not be able to stay in the basement anymore.

Because of the instability of doubling the amount of magic power conversion, problems may occur in the core of the formation at any time, and a collapse is likely to occur at this time. Although because the core is arranged in the basement, even if the core part collapses, it will have no impact on those above the ground.

The impact will be minimized, but staying in the basement is still very dangerous.

So Hermione and Ginny agreed that after they came out, they could go to the east tower to meet them with Ron who was guarding the living room.

However, Hermione did not expect that when the rune barrier was shaken by the self-destruction of living corpses, Ron was the only one who hurried over.

"H...H...Hermione..."

Ron seemed to have been running all the way from the Burrow. When he appeared in front of Hermione, he seemed to be almost paralyzed from exhaustion. He was seen holding on to the wall pillar, breathing heavily, and called Hermione intermittently.

One sound.

"Ron?" Hermione looked at his half-dead look, then glanced behind him, and then frowned, "Why are you alone? Where are Ginny and Hannah?"

"Ginny... and... Hannah... phew..." Ron gasped, unable to speak clearly, "They -"

"Hey... Anyway, take your breath away first."

Although she was worried about Ginny and Hannah's situation, the stronghold was currently under a high-intensity attack, and more than just one or two people were in danger. Seeing that someone else came to report the battle situation in other directions, Hermione could only show her off to Ron.

He waved his hand, then hurriedly turned around and continued to give orders.

"Now that Miss Geofine has left the southern defense line, that side will definitely suffer a more serious blow... Let the south tower open all the gravity traps I have set up. How long can it last..."

Hermione was explaining the response plan very quickly, asking the messenger to deliver the notice immediately, but at the next moment, she heard a guard standing by the wall suddenly shout:

"Miss Granger, be careful—"

In fact, at the same time that the guard shouted loudly, Hermione also caught a glimpse of a cold silver light from the corner of her eyes. And when she turned back following the cold light, she discovered that its source was actually in the hand held upside down.

A silver dagger in En's hand.

At that moment, Ron's eyes turned into two deep blacks.
