Chapter 1321 Trip to Buckingham Palace
When Maca and others searched all the way to find Kingsley, the latter had already withdrawn from the battlefield with the Muggle army sent by the Queen, and was about to return to the vicinity of Buckingham Palace where the Queen was.
And up to this moment, after a series of coordinated operations before, the Muggle army's losses were really not small. Even if Kingsley had been able to fight if he could not fight in line with the strategy of avoiding battles and protecting himself, the number of people was nearly 20% lower than when he entered the battlefield at the beginning.
Sudden wars in the city where most of the heavy assault weapons cannot be used, coupled with the fact that the enemy is a large group of "strange" wizards, are too many disadvantages for the Muggle army.
"Mr. Davidson, the old bishop, is currently persuading the Queen at Buckingham Palace, asking her to evacuate London temporarily. When we arrive at Buckingham Palace, I will be responsible for escorting her away..."
Right now, in front of the Muggle army's march, Kingsley and Maca were sitting on the roof of a Land Rover Defender talking loudly, discussing some future arrangements for Muggles.
"It's just," Kingsley said while shaking his head, "whether the queen will leave, and whether the old bishop can persuade her, that's an unknown."
It should be said that when the number of black-eyed wizards was not large, the Muggle army's combat effectiveness against those mad wizards was actually quite impressive, at least not much inferior to the wizard team.
But now, to be honest, most of the people on both sides had to withdraw from the battlefield first, and hand over all combat tasks to Maca, Delphi, Harry, etc., who could handle those black-eyed wizards.
Otherwise, once encountering a battle, the casualties would be too great.
Correspondingly, Her Majesty the Queen, who was fairly safe before, must now stay away from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
"This is London after all!" Maca nodded understandingly, "I can somewhat understand how the queen wants to stay here... But there is no way, she really has to withdraw, if not, use some coercive means Bar!"
For wizards, the Muggle queen is actually indispensable, especially now that this queen is still the one who advocates that wizards and Muggles can get along well. Not to mention, the Muggle's military strength should not be underestimated. If the relationship is handled well, it will also be an important force to deal with Hai Erbo.
Because of this, the Muggle Queen can't have any accidents. When it's time to retreat, let her retreat first!
"By the way," Maca thought for a while, then turned around and asked, "Then Buckingham Palace, has there been any attack during this period of time?"
Upon hearing this, Kingsley could not help but slightly nodded and said:
"Naturally there is,
But the scale was not large, just sporadic and occasional attacks... Mr. Longbottom did a good job. He cooperated with the remaining Auror guards and Muggle guards to wipe out those guys. "
"Oh, is that so?" Maca smiled immediately after hearing this, "This time as the queen's wizard guard, he has shown his face, I believe he can leave a good impression on the queen."
Neville was originally the kind of action guy who didn't talk too much nonsense, coupled with his usual shy personality, he was born with a simple and simple affinity. This time, Kingsley and Maca arranged for him to be a temporary guard at the Queen's side, and naturally he was not appointed randomly.
In fact, after the Battle of London, there will inevitably be a collision between wizards and Muggles. No matter what the outcome is, the original relationship isolation between the two parties will be broken.
At that time, of course, the magic world hopes to live in harmony. Even if they can't integrate with each other, at least there won't be too much friction.
And by then, Neville will be the official proof of "friendship" between wizards and Muggles.
So when Kingsley heard Maca say that, he immediately agreed:
"That's right! And I think... as long as nothing happens to our Mr. Longbottom, it will be time for the 'Longbottom Family' to rise again."
"Oh no, let's not talk about the family or anything," Maka waved his hands immediately after hearing this, "It's his business what Neville wants to think, but on the surface, this matter is only about the individual."
The history and current situation of the pure-blood family is a bloody example, and Maca doesn't want to show any sense of family honor.
After all, even if Neville himself has no desire to be greedy and powerful, who can guarantee that his descendants will not use the hard-earned achievements of these ancestors to do evil?
Of course, these are just casual conversations between Maca and Kingsley at the moment, and what they said is still far from now!
They could only hear the two talking casually, and after a while, they saw that the palace was already in the distance in the fog ahead.
"In a moment we will go directly to the green drawing room, where the queen and the old bishop are."
After Kingsley said this, it didn't take long before they finally arrived at the front garden of Buckingham Palace. After Kingsley and the officers who stayed here completed the handover of the team, the group went directly through the guard post at the gate and entered the splendid Buckingham Palace.
"This way please."
"Oh, wait a minute."
After Maca said something to the Muggle guard who was about to lead the way, he turned around and said to the American Ilvermorny principal who was accompanying him:
"Mr. Stewart, I'm sorry... We are going to meet with the Queen of England next, and there are some conversations about the British Ministry of Magic and the British Muggle royal family. It may be inconvenient for you to be there..."
"Well, of course," Stuart nodded immediately after hearing what he said, "I won't follow up."
Obviously, if Maca didn't mention this, this guy would probably have the cheek to listen together. But fortunately, when Maca mentioned this a little bit, he immediately took a step back tactfully.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Maca smiled at him and gave him a little salute, and then signaled the Muggle guard to continue leading the way, but Stuart really stayed at the door in silence, letting another guard take him to a side hall to rest.
"Maka, should I go too?" Harry, who had been following behind, couldn't help asking when he saw this.
"If you don't want to go, you don't have to go," Maca shrugged. "However, Neville is over there now...you don't want to go see him?"
"Ah!" Harry was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go too."
...
The interior decoration of Buckingham Palace is obviously very eye-catching gilded pilasters separating the walls, luxurious crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, exquisite and exquisite patterns and various famous paintings on the walls, making the surroundings look extraordinarily brilliant.
Maca and the others followed the guard all the way in, and soon everyone came to the door of the green reception room. When the soldiers went forward, they reported the arrival of Maca and others.
"Gentlemen and ladies, please come in."
The next moment, including Thomas and Harry, a group of five people stepped into the living room which was slightly different from the front hall outside.
It can be found that this living room is obviously very different from the front hall outside. The furnishings here are more concise and clear, and it even seems a bit of a waste of space because there are too many empty spaces. However, such a living room, which is equally extravagant to ordinary people, is obviously much simpler than other rooms outside.
"Hello, Your Majesty the Muggle Queen...Of course, and Mr. Davidson, we haven't seen each other for a while."
While Harry was still greeting Neville who was sitting at the side, Maca and Kingsley walked up to the Queen and greeted them politely.
"Hello, Mr. McLean."
Before the queen could speak, the old bishop spoke first.
"This time, I also thank you for arranging someone to come here to ensure the safety of Her Majesty the Queen. Two enemies had rushed to the gate of Buckingham Palace earlier. If Mr. Longbottom was not there, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Although the old bishop was once a wizard, and his conversation and knowledge were quite extraordinary, but his magic strength has never been very strong. To say thank you to Neville for his assistance in defense is really sincere, because Neville is also protecting his own safety at the same time.
Before the words fell, the queen who was sitting in the middle couldn't help but nodded in gratitude, showing that Maca's previous guess about the room was accurate.
After hearing the other party's thanks, he took advantage of the opportunity to be humble for Neville, and then turned to say:
"Mr. Davidson, Your Majesty, I would like to ask you something first. Is your plan to evacuate London confirmed?"
"Oh, this"
When old Davidson heard this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at the queen. Then, he shook his head helplessly, lowered his voice and said:
"Her Majesty does not want to leave here."
The old bishop's judgment on the external situation was quite accurate, and obviously, he really wanted the queen to leave this ghostly place, lest the situation get worse and cause accidents.
But it's a pity that with his face, it seems that he can't persuade the dignified and majestic Muggle queen.
"I have to say that I personally have deep admiration for Her Majesty the Queen who wants to stay and comfort the disaster-stricken citizens. However, her safety is also related to the hearts and minds of the people! It's just a pity."
The old bishop's voice was deliberately low at first, but his voice became a little louder as he spoke, obviously speaking to the queen on purpose.
Seeing this, Maca had no choice but to shrug, and cooperated with the other party:
"Yes! What if Her Majesty the Queen... Well, in short, in terms of the outside situation, Her Majesty really needs to take shelter for a while. Now that the situation in London is deteriorating again, no one knows what danger will happen in the next second …Staying here is too risky."
At the same time, Harry obviously didn't care about the Queen's affairs anymore, he was asking Neville about the situation here. Hearing Neville talk about the previous process of protecting the queen, Harry couldn't help but talk about some of his own fighting experiences.
On the other hand, the Muggle Queen's attention stayed more in their conversation.
