Chapter 2160 The Enemy Will Attack
Hermione woke up early again this morning.
There's no way, I can't get up earlier, because Safina and Mr. Blois, who have been out on patrol, have been discovering that the living corpses a little farther to the east have started to move again.
The density is increasing, and the activity is also increasing, and these phenomena are clearly showing a tendency to spread to this side. Even if it is just an optimistic estimate, this is at least a sign that a large number of living corpses are migrating here; and in the worst case, it cannot be ruled out that there will be demons driving the tide of living corpses.
Because of this, in the past two days, Safina and Blois did not come back to rest in the evening as usual—the two extended their inspection route again, and they did not stop even at night, just for once there was a large-scale event. When the tide of corpses came, they could detect it in advance.
Although, the current stronghold built around the Burrow has now been built like an iron wall under the unremitting efforts of everyone. Even if there is a tide of living corpses, everyone believes that this place can withstand it.
However, regardless of high-level living corpses, at least if there are demons coming... Whether this heavy protection can resist is still unknown.
"Hermione, Longfro in the East Tower asked me to find some time to ask, do we need to add more other magic traps in addition to the gravity trap on the east side? At present, our main defense is the east side, no matter how Be careful, nothing can go wrong..."
When Hermione was staring at the map in the living room downstairs and calculating at a little time before breakfast, Neville had already returned from a trip to the east tower. It seemed that he got up earlier than Hermione today.
After hearing what Neville said, Hermione shook her head after thinking about it, and said clearly:
"It makes some sense, but it still doesn't work—at present, the magic traps that can really form enough effects must be designed and produced by Hannah and I based on rule runes, or Sarah will have to use alchemy to make them. It can only be done. And when the traps placed outside really need to be activated, they can't be maintained well at all, and can only be reduced to consumables in the end... That's too wasteful."
Upon hearing this, Neville immediately nodded, but couldn't help but said:
"However, there is no way to deploy more magic spells on the tower, and the effect of just arranging the defense line inside the alchemy barrier is not very good—"
Neville actually wanted to say more about the stronghold's defense measures, but Hermione waved her hand suddenly, stopping him from continuing.
"I know what you said, and I also understand everyone's eagerness and concern for the security of the stronghold after experiencing the attack of the giant demon... But,
As you said, we can't actually deploy more protection. She said earnestly, "This is the fact—at least with our current capabilities, being able to do this is considered the limit." "
Yes, Hermione was right.
In fact, to be honest, almost none of the people who can come here voluntarily are afraid of death, but they are all afraid of dying without any achievements, no results, and no strength to struggle.
Now this stronghold is very important, whether it is practical or symbolic, it is equally huge.
But because the enemy is too powerful, everyone can only continue to arm this stronghold in the best way possible, so that they can gain some peace of mind in the non-stop actions.
However, there is always a limit to what can be done. When the big guys find that they have armed the entire stronghold to the teeth, but still do not have absolute confidence in dealing with the crisis that may strike in the future, every drop of sweat during this period has instead turned into a share. The pressure of serving has weighed on everyone's hearts.
As a matter of course, Neville also has this kind of pressure in his heart... Or, in fact, everyone in this stronghold is almost the same.
But at this moment, Hermione suddenly looked away from the map, and then suddenly raised her head.
"So, in fact, the 'bad news' brought back by Miss Geoffrey and Mr. Blois may actually be a good thing for us!"
"Bad news?" Neville couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he heard it, but soon he also realized, "You mean, there is a change in the group of living corpses in the east?"
"Yeah!" Hermione explained, "Because we have done all the preparations we can, then the next step is to wait for an opportunity to verify the results—everyone is holding their breath for a long time, it must be There will be anxiety and there may even be a drop in morale."
"You know so much!"
Neville thought about it for a while, and felt that it really made sense, because the situation Hermione said was actually happening in the stronghold.
But Hermione was not very happy with Neville's praise, she just shook her head slightly and said:
"I'm just trying to follow what's written in the book! At the beginning, I told you to read more books... But now, I don't have so much time to read."
"Oh! Hermione, you remind me of my Hogwarts days."
Neville sighed, then quickly waved at her, turned and walked towards the door.
"In short, I understand what you mean - I will go to the East Tower again, so that Longfrow and the others don't have to think about those useless things."
Behind him, Hermione, who was still sitting at the table, just watched his leaving back for a moment, and then returned her attention to the map in front of her.
Needless to say, Neville's words just now brought back some memories for Hermione.
To be honest, life at Hogwarts was not all pleasant, and even because of Voldemort's constant tossing, it left everyone with many bad memories.
But thinking about it now, no matter how bad the experience was, it has gradually become a kind of luxurious beauty in the far scarier days now.
Yes, it's too good to think about, because it will make everyone feel more sad when they have to return to reality.
After a while, Hannah came over with today's breakfast as usual. It's just that Mr. Blois, who was supposed to be patrolling the east side, followed her into the living room.
"...Miss Granger, the group of living corpses is moving here at an accelerated rate, and... from the point of view of me and Geoffine, they seem to be organized."
Upon hearing what Bulova said, Hermione immediately put down the breakfast she hadn't started, and stood up abruptly.
"That is to say...the matter may be more serious than we originally expected?"
