Chapter 1871 Heavy Burden
The latest website: Another wave of living corpses is coming. Their desire to attack may not be higher than the previous two times, but the number of living corpses and the persistence of attacking nearby areas have been greatly improved.
So under Hermione's instruction, Weymouth Port entered a state of full defense, with the safety of the personnel in the camp as the top priority.
The gravity trap supported by multiple wizards was activated again.
"There is news from the outpost, saying that the density of the living corpses is not high, but they appear continuously in the east, it seems to be endless. Mr. Potter and the others have been fighting on the front line for several hours. I figured it would be best to let them come back and rest for a longer ward against incoming enemies."
In the command post tent in the center of the camp, a summoning wizard guarded Percy and Hermione about the situation on the outskirts. After hearing this, Percy immediately reached out to dip the tip of the quill with some ink, and then scribbled a few strokes on the map.
At the same time, Hermione opened her mouth and replied:
"Indeed... then let Bill call them back! If someone else went, their stubborn temper might not listen."
"Is it Mr. Bill Weasley?" The other party nodded, "Okay, then I'll go right away."
"Wait," Hermione said, also glanced at the map, and then added, "After you inform Bill, help me go to the pier to have a boat prepared."
"Uh, yes, Miss Granger."
The wizard didn't ask why, and quickly left the tent after taking the order, and went out to do errands. On the other hand, Percy, who was waiting for the man to go out, couldn't help asking:
"Hermione, are you going to go east by sea?"
"Well," Hermione pursed her lips, "walking from the Solent Strait, along the coast to see the situation of this wave of living corpses - this time the scale is very large, it is necessary to find out the form of the rear earlier .Of course, as to whether I should go in person, I haven’t made a complete decision yet.”
After hearing this, Percy looked down at the map again and said:
"You still want to go to McLean?"
"No, I don't know," Hermione said, "Maybe! Maybe I'm still thinking subconsciously... However, as far as the current situation is concerned, someone must do this investigative mission,
isn't it? And compared to walking on the shore, it is obviously much safer to go by sea. "
"Yeah! I know," Percy nodded, "Your decision is not wrong—from the Solent Strait into Southampton Bay, you can detect the movement of the group of living corpses and this tide of living corpses along the way. Probable duration. But the question is . . . will you enter the Itchin from the bay after that?"
What Percy meant was actually very clear—it can be clearly seen from the map that if you go all the way north along the Itching River, you can reach Winchester without even getting off the boat and just walking by water. If it was a normal scouting team, it would be time to return when they reached the bay, but for Hermione, it was undoubtedly an "excellent" route to Winchester.
However, the surrounding area of Winchester is too dangerous. There are many evolved living corpses nearby, and many of them can use magic. Even going by boat would be risky.
"Hermione, I have to be more 'realistic' here—in fact, Mr. Blois stayed in Winchester before, which is already a huge blow to us to some extent. Lost. And if it were you, I think the 'loss' would only be greater."
Percy's words were indeed very "realistic", after all, Willy's father had only helped them out of friendship before. And now that he has not come back, it is also his freedom, which cannot be called a "loss".
However, on the surface, this is indeed a huge loss of combat power for the Resistance Alliance.
"Well," Hermione could only nod her head when she saw Percy's confession so frankly, "Yes, you're right...Okay, then I won't go, you can arrange another person for this coastal reconnaissance operation Let's go! As for me... I'm going to the defense line to see if there are any loopholes in the defense."
"Okay," Percy nodded slightly, got up and walked towards the door, and couldn't help turning around and apologizing just before going out, "Hermione, I'm sorry! What I said just now was indeed a bit—"
"It's okay," Hermione shook her head, "You're doing the right thing... For everyone, I should stay here instead of doing some selfish things to satisfy my own selfishness. Nowadays, the more selfish people People, there will be more chances of failure in the struggle in the future.”
Watching Percy leave the tent, Hermione hesitated for a few seconds, and suddenly couldn't help but sigh.
"Has Maca been immersed in this kind of contradiction for such a long time before? Then... Did he leave just because he was gradually overwhelmed?"
To be honest, Hermione actually didn't want to think about Maca like this, but in fact, the reality made her think like this inevitably.
Because if that wasn't the case, then there was a real reason why Maca never came back to them... Seriously, Hermione didn't dare to think about it.
He shook his head vigorously to get these thoughts out of his mind. Hermione wiped the nib clean with a piece of paper, then put it aside casually, ready to go out and inspect it.
...
All the living corpses in the ancient city of Winchester were wiped out, not a single one remained.
This battle can be said to be a complete victory - this is undoubtedly a very good start for Safina who has just been able to control her power.
After that, Maca took her to the backyard to talk for a while. Even Ursula couldn't follow the conversation, and only the two of them knew what they talked about.
But when everyone saw them coming back, they found that Safina's face was full of doubts. It seems that Maca said something very difficult to her, even if she listened to it, she didn't fully understand it for a while.
"What did that McLean guy say to you?"
Seeing her return, her sister Ursula immediately dragged her to the room, and asked questions in a hurry, as if she was afraid that Maca would deceive her sister again with her words.
Regarding this, Maca just smiled casually and didn't care.
"Maka, sit down... sit down and rest for a while!"
Apparently, it was Maca's cough earlier that made Willie worry uncontrollably. Now, although he has already returned to his usual appearance, and there is no problem at all on the surface, Willie is still worried.
"Huh?" Maca shook her head, "I'm fine, there's no need to do this."
Having said that, he still sat down according to Willie.
"By the way! In a few days, I plan to go to the 'far door'...Of course, don't worry, I will take you with me. If Mr. Blois is worried about Willie, he can come with him."
He thought about it and said so.
