Chapter 1872 Changes in the Tide of Living Corpses
Latest website: Two full days have passed since Percy sent a team of wizards to scout along the coast in a boat. During these two days, Harry and the others have been fighting the living corpses with all their might, reducing the pressure on the defense line as much as possible.
However, the number of living corpses in the surrounding area did not decrease at all, as if every time one was killed, another two or three would appear, making them feel exhausted.
You know, even squatting at the door of the house and pressing ants with your fingers, a game you played when you were young, pressing for two days and two nights in a row will be exhausting. Not to mention, living corpses cannot be compared with ants. Although Harry and the others can kill ordinary living corpses relatively easily, they still have to slash their swords vigorously.
"What's going on at the pier?"
Today Hermione also picked up her wand and rune cards, and stood behind the front line to provide support for Harry and the others from time to time, so as not to cause them to be injured due to temporary negligence due to excessive fatigue.
However, while taking action from time to time, she also needs to pay attention to the situation in and out of the camp - she has already handed over many things to Percy to control the general direction, but she still needs to make adjustments on the spot.
"The Port Granger of Cherbourg, France has sent another group of people to assist in the defense, and Mr. Weasley has arranged them to the side." A wizard replied from the side, "Also... the scouting team hasn't returned yet. "
"Well, I see," Hermione nodded, glanced at both sides of the battle line, and then said loudly, "Harry, Neville! You can come back now... Go back and have a rest!"
"OK!"
After Neville responded, he didn't retreat, but turned his head and shouted towards Harry:
"Harry, you're exhausted too much, you go back first—I'll help you block it."
"No need, you go back first, I can still hold on here!" Harry said without looking back, "Don't say that I am physically exhausted, you have been maintaining the Patronus Charm, but you are much more tired than me!"
Obviously, both of them actually knew that in these few hours, due to fatigue, the efficiency of fighting was much lower than that of the previous two days. The reduction in the efficiency of eliminating living corpses directly caused them to spend more time in order to maintain the pressure on the defense line at a relatively stable baseline.
As a result, the battle against the tide of living corpses has fallen into a vicious circle.
"Stop fighting,
You all come back to me! Seeing this, Hermione said loudly, "Just leave it to me during the time you go to rest!" "
"Hermione, we still—"
"Stop talking," Hermione interrupted immediately when she saw that Harry was still trying to be brave, "Do you want me to invite you over there? Why don't you hurry back and rest!"
Seeing that Hermione was going berserk, Harry and Neville looked at each other, and finally retreated dejectedly from the sight of some Ginny and others snickering later.
After passing by Hermione and hurried back to the camp, Harry, holding the Gryffindor sword upside down, couldn't help but whisper to Neville:
"Hermione seems to have become a lot more irritable today. Is it because the tide of living corpses has lasted for too long?"
When the two returned from the line of defense, they immediately attracted the attention of many wizards in the camp. However, during this period of time, Harry and the others have long been used to these admiring or curious gazes, they just nodded slightly when they passed by people, and didn't pay much attention to them.
"Huh?" Neville paused, then shook his head and said, "I don't think so."
"That's right," Harry wondered, "Even if we can't stand it with our current strength, we can still invite the Muggle army to help like last time... It's not that we are in a desperate situation, so we won't rush her like this .”
"Who knows!" Neville shrugged, "Anyway, I've been dating Hannah for so long, and I still don't quite understand girls' psychology... Anyway, just follow her!"
"Yeah!" Harry sighed, "I don't know—"
The two of them were talking, when suddenly, Harry stopped, and then suddenly turned around and looked in the direction he came from.
"What's the matter, Harry?"
Seeing that he seemed to have noticed something, Neville asked quickly.
"It seems that someone is coming... It's a very familiar feeling." Speaking of this, he suddenly waved, "Neville, let's go back and have a look, hurry up!"
Before he finished speaking, he took the lead in running back, his speed was as fast as a gust of wind.
Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Neville was afraid that he would be too slow to delay the emergency, so he immediately cast the Patronus Charm again to call out the silver lion, and flew out of the camp as soon as he turned over, leaving only the people around the camp Those wizards all looked at the two of them in amazement and left again.
...
Harry's perception this time is actually a rather special situation. Apart from him, Hermione, Ginny, Hannah and others inside and outside the camp, and even the outer edge of the defense line, have not noticed anything yet.
It wasn't until Harry and Neville returned here at a fast speed that some wizards who were defending against the living corpses in front of the defense line saw some abnormal shadows vaguely through the fog.
"Look, what's that—"
Seeing that Harry and Neville came back not long after leaving, Hermione was about to ask, but she heard a reminder from a guarding wizard behind her. The next moment, she didn't bother to ask any more questions, and hurriedly turned her head to look out.
Indeed, although there were living corpses in front of the line of defense, and there was heavy fog in the distance, she could still see a dark shadow in a certain direction that was different from other places. It was as if there was something more in that place, and it was constantly moving and approaching.
"Hermione, Neville and I will go and have a look."
Seeing that everyone, including Hermione, had noticed this abnormality, Harry didn't say anything more, and ran out directly. But soon, he and Neville were stopped by Hermione.
"What's the hurry, did you forget what we said before? Don't be impulsive in unexpected situations... especially you! Harry, you are the first one among us who needs to act calmly!"
After Hermione said a few words to him, she nodded at Neville and said:
"Ask your patron saint to check on the situation... It's definitely not easy for that shadow to move so quickly in such a dense group of living corpses. Maybe it's a special giant zombie, or... maybe even It's a high-level zombie!"
As soon as Hermione spit out the word "advanced zombie", the expressions of Harry and Neville, who had "meeted" the lava zombie before, immediately changed - that was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
At that moment, Harry subconsciously clenched the hilt of his sword.
"I see." Neville rolled over from the back of the silver lion, then raised his wand and pointed to the shadow in the distance, "Go and have a look!"
While he was speaking, the guardian lion dragged its long silver "tail" and jumped over the guard line, rushing straight out.
