Chapter 1512 Reason and Sensibility

"Hermione, the situation on the front line...doesn't seem so good!"

I don't know if after acquiescing that Harry went to the battlefield, Lupine gave up the idea of ​​hiding the battle situation from the children. Ron easily brought back the information he overheard in the hall of the new Ministry of Magic.

But when you think about it, it's obviously meaningless to hide it in front of the children now. Rather, if Hermione and the others had any misunderstandings, it would be more likely to cause more trouble.

"Something's wrong? Where's Harry? Is Harry all right?"

Upon hearing Ron's words, Ginny couldn't help asking before Hermione could speak. However, Ron could only shake his head and said:

"I don't know, no one has mentioned Harry's situation... But if it was him, he should be fine! But, leaving Harry's situation aside, the overall situation on the frontline battlefield seems to be very bad... Clean up The team was forced to retreat again and again, and before I came back, I heard that the zombie army had broken through Dartford!"

"Dartford... In other words, have you already traveled a third of the distance so quickly?" Hermione said in a serious tone when she heard this, "Then... what about the team responsible for evacuating the people? There are troops... where are they now?"

"Uh," Ron couldn't help but pause when Hermione asked this, "Dartford, and along the Watling Highway between Dartford and Rochester..."

"Already caught up?"

Seeing Hermione's wide-eyed surprise, Ron couldn't help sighing.

"To be precise, when the group of living corpses completely broke through the defense line of the suppression team and arrived in the downtown area of ​​Dartford, the work of our evacuation troops and the cooperation of the Muggle military to transfer the people was only halfway through. Because the evacuation teams The number and strength are far inferior to the front-line suppression team, so we can only withdraw from the city and go to the follow-up city where the horde of living corpses has not yet reached."

"Half the residents of Dartford...was abandoned?"

If it was just the sacrifices that occurred in the suppression team, although that would also make people deeply saddened, but Hermione and the others could barely accept the reality that people were constantly dying. But now, even half of the innocent Muggles in the city have lost their lives. This kind of thing can never be called a "sacrifice".

"...Hermione?"

Seeing that something was wrong with her, Ron hurriedly called her, only to see that she finally shook her head slightly after taking a deep breath.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

After saying this, Hermione lowered her eyes and said softly:

"Halley has already gone to the front for us, and all we can do is hurry up and contribute more to the defense of Spiral Town."

As soon as the voice fell, she still pursed her mouth after all, picked up the rune stone slab that had just been put aside because of Ron's return, and continued to carve.

In fact, everyone present could feel that what Hermione wanted to do most right now was to go out and help like Harry.

Whether it's blocking the enemy group on the front line or assisting in the evacuation at the rear, it's definitely more reassuring than huddling here and burying her head in the carved stone slab. But if you calm down and think about it again, even if you count all of them, it's just a drop in the bucket for the collapsed front line.

And staying here to silently strengthen the defense of Helix Town is both inconspicuous and disturbing, but what they have done may play a greater role in the future.

Judging from the current situation, Spiral Town will probably soon become the last line of defense against the army of living corpses.

However, Hermione might be able to suppress the uneasiness in her heart and tell herself not to act emotionally. Because of the various experiences during this time,

Let her fully understand the disadvantages of being hotheaded.

However, Ginny, who was purely worried about her boyfriend Harry, couldn't stand it anymore after hearing Ron mention the frontline battle situation.

It must be said that she actually tried her best not to be impulsive. It was just a pity that it was difficult for her to calm down when she thought that Harry might also be in danger.

"I'm going"

"Ginny!"

At the moment when Ginny stood up abruptly, as if about to say something, Neville, who was still staring at the long piece of parchment in a daze at the end, suddenly threw the quill in his hand back into the ink bottle.

"Ginny, let me come and go! I'll help you check on Harry's situation"

"Neville?"

Hearing Neville suddenly said that he would go to see Harry on his behalf, Ginny couldn't help being taken aback. But just before she came back to her senses, she saw Neville looking towards Hannah who was not far away, who was hesitant to speak.

"...Hannah, can I?"

"Uh."

Hannah, who never had any ideas, was immediately stopped by Neville.

Needless to say, she naturally didn't want Neville to go out to take risks, but with her gentle nature, it seemed that she didn't want to become a girl who would hinder her boyfriend from doing things.

"Then... well."

Seeing Hannah nod her head slowly, Neville immediately threw the parchment roll aside, passed by the hesitant Ginny in a blink of an eye, and went straight to the stairs.

"Neville!"

Seeing this, Ginny couldn't help calling him. It's just that she also understood that if she had to send another person to the front line, Neville would definitely be more suitable than her.

"Hermione?"

She hesitated standing there, and subconsciously looked back at Hermione who was silently carving the slate, but the other party just shook her head with her eyes down.

That meaning, of course, couldn't be clearer, regardless of whether Neville went or not, she, Ginny Weasley, must never go to the front line to cause trouble.

Yes, although it sounds ugly, but that is "adding chaos".

"...Neville? You are in such a hurry, where are you going?"

Just as the rest of the friends in the underground corridor shut their mouths, and the hallway only echoed with Neville's footsteps that were fading away, suddenly, a familiar voice came from the stairs.

Immediately, everyone hastily turned their eyes to the other end of the corridor.

"Maka? You...you're here!"

That's right, it can be seen that Maka's slightly thin but reassuring figure stopped in front of Neville who was about to step up the stone steps.

"Well," Maca who just got off looked at Neville for a while, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, the five-foot experience is finished? Then take a look!"

Having said that, Macadam passed by Neville's side and walked straight to the observation room.

"What's wrong? Come here!"

Seeing that Neville was stunned and didn't know which way to go, Maca immediately turned around and waved his head as a signal. Immediately, Neville, who didn't dare to disobey Maca's words, had no choice but to obediently raise his legs and follow.

"What's the matter? Everyone has a sad face... oh, are you making stone slabs..." Maca said with a light smile as he walked in.
