Chapter 2338 the Omen of the Collapse of the Defense Line
One night sometimes feels very long, but sometimes it seems surprisingly short. But whether it is short or long, it is enough for many things to happen.
For example, on the night after Hermione invited guests to have dinner at Buckingham Palace in London, the corpse girl, one of the twins, did not leave the palace immediately, but went to the entrance of the main hall again to protect the people there. My brother brought some delicious desserts.
Maybe she can taste more delicacies at the dinner party, but if she can sit side by side with her brother on the cold steps at the entrance of the hall and eat a few butter cookies dryly, it seems to be the happiest period for her time.
This night, the living corpse siblings seemed to be having a very comfortable time.
And the same night, also in this palace, probably wasn't so wonderful for Ginny who didn't attend the dinner.
Harry on the bed still stayed up all night, and Ginny by the window naturally stayed up almost all night. Just looking at her boyfriend's haggard face with closed eyes, even with the many desserts that Sarah and the others brought in advance, she barely ate a little at the beginning, and soon lost her appetite.
So for Ginny, this night was undoubtedly difficult and long.
But no matter what, at least there is still no fighting and chaos in London tonight. Compared with them, the Netherlands and Germany, which are just across the sea, are really not so good.
Leaving aside the mention of the father and daughter of the Blois family who have withdrawn from the south of the Netherlands to the camp in the north of Belgium, let us return our attention to the real second battlefield today—the Northwest Front of Germany.
The German Brandt family's battle against the invasion of living corpses is still going on with difficulty, and the Fire Dragon Legion raised by the Brandt family is actually doing quite well. So far, with the assistance of the coalition of wizards called by Mrs. Maxim, they have at least firmly maintained the front line near the two borders of Germany's west and north, and did not allow the army of living corpses to break through quickly.
However, there is always a price to be paid for such a stubborn defense, and on the battlefield, the "price" that any party needs to pay is often a fresh life.
The life of a wizard is life, the life of humanoid magical creatures like goblins, werewolves, and vampires is also life, and the main combat force like a fire dragon is even more important than human life on the battlefield!
In the mountains closest to the front line, not only were there countless corpses of ordinary low-level living corpses, but many corpses of fire dragons had also fallen in disorder.
In addition to the dead ones, there are obviously more individuals who can no longer support flying due to injuries-although those flying corpses rarely have individuals that can rival adult fire dragons, but when there are many, they will still attack the fire dragon army. Causes no small damage.
Coupled with the fact that the actual large-scale battle is obviously beyond the capabilities of the dragon trainers of the Brandt family through their usual training, it has to be said that the fire dragons fighting on the front line are already a little messed up.
And that's not the worst part.
"Chairman Maxim, the Brandt family sent an emergency request for help - the German western defense line Duisburg has fallen!"
Mrs. Maxim, who returned to the headquarters building of the Federation from Bulova's camp this evening, began to process the accumulated documents after dinner, and did not prepare to take a rest until midnight before continuing to work.
But before she had time to leave her desk, an urgent message directly from the front line of the German border battlefield completely disrupted her next arrangements.
"'Three more powerful living corpses'?"
Maxim looked at the materials that the secretary hastily sent her over. There were some concise text descriptions and a somewhat blurred magic photo on it. It can be seen that this document was not only written in a hurry, but the collection of these front-line information must have been quite difficult... Although it was not mentioned in the document, the person who took the photo is probably dead, because the photo was obviously frozen at the end. On top of a rapidly approaching figure, although the overall shot is blurred, it looks full of impact.
"If it was placed on a normal day, this photo would definitely hit the headlines, and maybe it would win an award in the selection of photojournalism of the year!"
The third secretary, who was standing in front of the desk at the moment, couldn't help looking at the photo again, and sighed.
"Don't be sarcastic, this is a human life!"
Maxim frowned very seriously. The expression she made on such a tall and tall person was still very oppressive, and the secretary didn't dare to say anything at that time.
After staring at the document for a few more seconds, Mrs. Maxim slapped the scribbled document on the table, and immediately said loudly:
"Let the reserve army stationed at the rear of the battlefield go to the front line first, to meet the Brandt family's troops retreating from the front line, and help them maintain the line of defense as much as possible. In addition, let someone draft a letter right now and send it to the current and The major forces we keep in touch with...the battle situation has changed, we need more support!"
"yes!"
After listening to Maxim's words, the secretary saw that she seemed to have no more orders, so she hurriedly saluted and left the office to go to work.
Madam Maxim, who was still here, just stood behind the desk and continued to meditate for a while, then suddenly picked up the magic wand on the table, and knocked on a bell beside her.
"jingle--"
The pleasant silver bell rang leisurely, and not long after, the door of the office was opened again, and the first secretary who followed her out for a run before appeared in front of Mrs. Maxim again.
Maxim didn't say any more nonsense, he just raised the urgent document on the table and said:
"You should have seen this. To be honest, I think it's not good. I just thought about it carefully and think that the most appropriate way to solve this problem is to go to the northern border of Belgium. Go—we need the help of the Blois family."
Having said that, she paused for a moment, but then couldn't help correcting:
"To be precise, it should be 'We need Patriarch Blois to help himself'... Although I'm not sure now whether he will be willing to help!"
"……Ok."
Although the first secretary witch didn't know much about the enemy in the magic photo, just knowing that even the Fire Dragon Army had to retreat and abandon the Duisburg area, one can roughly understand the so-called "more powerful" How terrifying is the "living corpse".
After hesitating for a while, she finally nodded.
"I understand... Madam, I'm going to visit the head of the Blois family right now."
