"Where is the relocation of the Muggle populations?"

"The furthest team from here has already reached Tford...... However, since the route of the living corpses may not be able to maintain a straight line, it is best to move as many other cities as possible along the way......"

"Well, Dartford? I know...... Signal to the units on the battlefield that all the clearing teams will alternately retreat five miles before the fog envelops them! ”

"Yes!"

Originally, in terms of the blocking effect so far, it was not yet time to retreat. If possible, the longer the living corpses are kept here, the better.

It is best to remove all the living corpses right here, so that the number of casualties among the common residents is bound to be minimized.

However, the fog that moved from London added many unknowns to the ensuing clean-up operation. Without knowing what to expect after being shrouded in fog, it is wisest to retreat in time.

It must be said that it was Maca's decision to abandon the decision to fight for the Federation and let the Muggle relocation plan begin immediately, which gave Kingsley more room to deal with the unexpected mist move.

If the back of the battlefield were now full of Muggle residents, there would be no way back for the clean-up team.

But a moment later, just as Kingslevo was anxiously awaiting news from the exploration team that had left for the Mist, one of the Aurors who had just gone to give the evacuation notice brought him a bad message.

"Minister! Because Mr. Potter was still in the midst of the living corpses, Sirius refused to lead the group back. ”

"That guy," Kingsley shook his head when he heard this, "he said that he was absolutely relieved of that Potter kid, but in the end he wasn't the one who was most worried!" Forget it, you can't blame him for that-"

Although he thought so in his heart, he still waved his hand decisively and said:

"The order to retreat remains the same, it's just ...... Have the few squads near Sirius' team ready to be ready to answer at any moment! ”

……

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and even Kingsley, who is highly adaptable on the spot, cannot do everything in detail.

Therefore, one of the key points in commanding the front line is to respond to all changes with the same and not make major mistakes in order to ensure the safety of the vast majority of people.

Giving up is also an option when necessary.

In other words, if Sirius did not retreat when the fog drifted into the battlefield, Kingsley would not let any team help him for the sake of the smooth execution of the plan and the safety of more people's lives.

At most, it is to let the nearby team take care of it a little, and this is the limit.

Of course, Sirius himself was clearly aware of this - Kingsley had made the right decision, and he would have done the same.

"Brown, when the fog comes in a moment, you are responsible for leading the team to retreat."

"Sirius, that ...... What about you? ”

"You don't have to worry about me."

Sirius held his wand in his hand, and while swinging one spell after another, he entrusted the task of leading the team to one of the elite of the team without the slightest hesitation.

In battle, hesitation must be a taboo, and the team member didn't say anything after hearing it, just nodded silently.

But fortunately, at this moment, Sirius suddenly saw a bloodied figure rushing out of the group of living corpses.

"Harry!"

"Sirius?"

Harry, who had just emerged from the crowd, glanced over at him, but he didn't pause in his hand, reflexively swinging his sword that was still as bright as ever.

The next moment, the two living corpses chasing him were immediately cut off by the waist and fell to the ground with a "plop", and tripped several enemies behind him.

After all of this, Harry slammed his sword on the ground and sped quickly to this side of the clearing team.

"Harry, be careful—"

Don't look at his movements, he is still agile, but his physical strength seems to be close to overdraft. After breaking through the siege and returning to this side, he suddenly staggered under his feet, and fell to the ground on the spot without Sirius reaching out to help him.

"Are you alright? Are there any injuries? ”

Harry was covered in viscous dark red blood, and at first glance, it was impossible to tell if he was scarred or not. However, as soon as he saw the sword in his left hand, he knew that something must be wrong with his right arm.

But even so, Harry shook his head.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired...... Just take a break. He said with some difficulty, "Let's not talk about that...... The fog had drifted to the end of the army of living corpses, causing all teams to retreat at once...... Well, no, you take me to Kingsley, and I'm going to report something important to him! ”

"Good! I'll send you there......" Sirius said as he paused, then looked into Harry's eyes and frowned, "You seem a little wrong?" What happened? ”

"Huh?"

Harry put his arm around Sirius' shoulder, gasping softly. When asked by the other party like this, he hesitated slightly, and then wiped the blood stains on his face and said:

"I came across ...... Aunt Penny. ”

Yes, even Harry's face was covered in blood, but it couldn't hide the depression on his face—Sirius, who was experienced in this area, was almost certain that the gloomy look in his eyes was more than just exhaustion.

And when Sirius heard Harry say "Aunt Penny", he knew what was causing Harry to act so confused.

However, just as he was about to say something to wake Harry, Harry shook his head at him instead.

"Sirius, needless to say...... When I decided to join the fight here instead of Hermione, I was mentally prepared accordingly. Though...... Well, when I really face that reality, even if it's Aunt Penny, it seems to be an extremely harsh trial for me! ”

At this point, Harry shook his head again, and then grinned at Sirius:

"Let's go! There is one thing that must be communicated to Kingsley as soon as possible...... It's just that my feet are a little disobedient, so you can take me there! ”

Harry has indeed grown up, and even if he faces the harsh reality alone, he can withstand it strongly.

Sirius sighed secretly, but he didn't delay any longer, and after a little pause, he picked up Harry - Harry must have been injured, and he didn't choose to use magic like the Levitation Charm when he couldn't use the retinue to manifest, but decided to carry Harry himself.

"Harry, you said, 'Come here instead of Hermione'...... Are you here alone today? ”

As he ran as fast as he could, Sirius asked casually, gasping for breath.
