harry potter book of crimes

"...Have you noticed that, leaving aside Rebes and the others who are in a relatively special situation, the overall evolutionary ratio of these living corpses gathered in the mountains and forests of the Scottish Highlands in the north is obviously higher than what we have previously observed in the south.

?”

At the top of the gentle slope that was used as a temporary resting point, Hermione, who had just made a lot of efforts to boost morale, was now seriously discussing the findings of her trip with her companions.

And I have to say, this is obviously not happy news.

"yes!"

Ron on the side was tapping his toes on the ground for a while, as if he was still savoring the aftertaste of the previous battle. But when he heard Hermione's words, he subconsciously nodded in agreement, obviously.

While he was excited to fight with the enemy, he was not completely unaware of it.

"The proportion of high-level individuals is not too high, but the number of advanced individuals is much higher than that of Rebes and his tribe!" he added.

"But the strength of high-level zombies is obviously not as strong as Ribes's." Harry also simply expressed his opinion.

Hermione nodded, then glanced at the members of the three major families, and found that they didn't seem to have any intention of speaking, so she thought for a while and continued:

"It's not yet certain what factors caused this, but there is no doubt that such a situation will definitely make it more difficult for us to continue marching north - even if we have Maka, Harry, etc. here, they are enough to affect a place

With wizards on medium-sized battlefields, it is still not an easy task. After all, going deep into the enemy's siege must be avoided as much as possible... There are too many unknowns ahead, and it is too dangerous to do so!"

When she said the last sentence, Hermione specifically cast a look in Harry's direction, obviously reproaching Harry for his rash behavior of rushing in alone.

After glaring at Harry, she turned to look at Rebes, who was standing further away, hoping to hear his opinion on what she had observed.

However, Rebes was originally quite taciturn, but after participating in this counterattack plan, he seemed to have become much more silent along the way.

But fortunately, he was still very determined when leading a group of his kind to fight, and even seemed more positive than everyone present. Otherwise, everyone would be even more worried...

After all, they are still living corpses.

After realizing that Hermione's gaze towards him seemed to be seeking his own opinion, Rebes hesitated for a moment with a sullen face, then frowned and said:

"The clouds here are thicker than in the south...I'm not sure, but it may be because of this."

"Clouds?"

Hearing what Rebes said, everyone subconsciously raised their heads and glanced at the sky above their heads. Unfortunately, it was already dark, and in this disaster area shrouded in clouds, it became extremely dark at night.

, it’s almost impossible to see anything clearly just by looking at it with the naked eye.

So soon, everyone looked up again, and then Hermione, who seemed to have suddenly thought of something, spoke again, and asked a question that almost made everyone frown:

"Weren't these clouds originally formed by the rising fog that appeared in London? So why now...the clouds are thicker in the north than in the south?"

"Does this need to be said?" Ron scratched his scalp and frowned, "It's probably the old witch... called 'Kern' who did it! The Haierpo before seems obvious now.

She has always been in the second battlefield, and 'that so and so'... stayed at Buckingham Palace for a long time. We also discussed it before coming here, but the only one who hides her head and tail is the old witch who we have never seen until now.

Kern is very likely to have been hiding in this area... so she is the only one who gathers so many living corpses into the forest and uses some method to thicken the clouds to 'ripen' these living corpses.

The biggest suspicion is, isn’t it?”

Everyone present could obviously imagine Ron's conjecture. They all fell into silence at this time, just trying their best to guess what kind of strength the opponent who could cause these changes had.

But to be honest, under the premise that most people still cannot fully understand the nature of the strange clouds above their heads, it is somewhat wishful thinking to speculate on the ability of the caster based on the changes in the thickness of the clouds.

.

Therefore, after everyone stared in silence for a few minutes, Maka, who had been keeping a low profile on Hermione's side since just now, finally took two steps forward, stood up and said:

"Perhaps the power in the hands of the witch Kern is also one of the seven sins - of course, it is more likely to be stronger than this - I can't say. But no matter how strong she is, as far as we know,

The things we can want will not change. Therefore, before we get more information, it is definitely meaningless for us to just think about it like this... Isn't it, Hermione?"

"Um!"

Seeing that Maka had given the initiative back to her midway through her words, Hermione immediately nodded her head, and then her face turned solemn towards the others.

"Yes," she said loudly and regained her composure, "Don't think too much about it for now, everyone! And..." She lowered her head and looked at the watch on her hand, "There are still about ten minutes left, everyone will continue to rest for a while, and then continue

Come down... fight as you should! Victory must belong to us!"

…

Although Hermione said that in the last sentence, for her, the next battle is really not easy to fight. Others follow orders and fight on the battlefield with as much strength as they have.

However, as the commander-in-chief, she has to control the entire battlefield!

As several groups of armies land one after another and enter the battlefield in sequence, more and more troops will need to be controlled and controlled by her. After all, what they have to face is an army of living zombies densely entrenched throughout the Scottish Highlands.

This is a counterattack battle that is destined to become very difficult!

Of course, no matter how complicated the subsequent battle is, their target now is still Hogsmeade. Not long after, as Hermione ascended and shouted, this joint air-ground vanguard force took a short rest.

After that, we finally started moving forward again.

Crossing the valley below, the enemy-occupied Hogsmeade village is right in front of us!

"Egor and Safina, who are leading the third-tier A-level wizard troops, are about to arrive at our previous camp, and they are right behind us! So, let us welcome them with our record of retaking Hogsmeade Village.

!”

"Come on!"
