Chapter 1871: Heavy Burden

Another wave of living corpses is coming, and their desire to attack may not be higher than the previous two times, but the number of living corpses and the persistence of raids in the vicinity have increased considerably.

So under Hermione's instructions, the port of Weymouth went into a state of full defense, with the safety of the people in the camp as the first priority.

The gravity trap, supported by multiple wizards in rotation, has been activated once again.

"There is news from the outpost that the density of living corpses is not very high, but it is constantly appearing in the east, and it seems to be endless. Mr. Potter: They've been fighting on the front lines for hours, and I think it's best to let them come back and rest for a longer period of time. ”

Inside the command post tent in the center of the camp, a messenger guard wizard was communicating the situation on the periphery to Percy and Hermione. Percy immediately reached for the tip of the quill pen and dipped it in ink, and then swiped a few strokes on the map.

At the same time, Hermione replied:

"Indeed...... Then let Bill go and call them back! If someone else goes, maybe their stubborn temper won't listen. ”

"Is that Mr. Bill Weasley?" The other party nodded, "Okay, then I'll go." ”

"Wait," Hermione said, glancing at the map a few times before adding, "After you informed Bill, help me get to the docks and have a boat ready." ”

"Uh, okay, Miss Granger."

The wizard didn't ask why, and quickly left the tent and went out to do business. Percy, on the other hand, waited for the man to go out, and then couldn't help asking:

"Hermione, are you going to go east from the sea?"

"Well," Hermione pursed her lips, "from the Solent Strait, all the way along the coast to see how this wave of living corpses is going onβ€”this time it's a big scale, and it's necessary to find out what the rear is like sooner." Of course, as for whether I want to go in person or not, I haven't completely decided yet. ”

Percy listened, 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 it stands, someone has to do this reconnaissance mission, doesn't it? And it's obviously much safer to go by sea than to walk on shore. ”

"Yes! I know," Percy nodded, "you're not wrong in that decision - entering Southampton Bay from the Solent Strait will provide a good spot for the movement of the living corpses and how long this wave of living corpses is likely to last." But here's the problem...... Will you enter the Yichen River from the bay after that? ”

Percy's meaning is actually quite clear - it is clear from the map that if you go all the way north along the River Itsin, you don't even have to get off the boat or just take the water to reach Winchester. If it were a normal scouting team, it would have been time to return to the bay, but for Hermione, it was undoubtedly an "excellent" route to Winchester.

However, the Winchester neighborhood is just too dangerous. There are many evolved living corpses in the vicinity, and many of them are capable of using magic, which is just as risky to go by boat.

"Hermione, I must be more 'realistic' here - in fact, Mr. Blois had been in Winchester before, which in a way was already a great loss to us. And if it were you, I think the 'loss' would only be greater. ”

Percy's words are indeed very "realistic", after all, Willy's father had only helped them out of friendship before. And the fact that he has not come back now is also his freedom, which cannot be called a "loss".

However, in fact, on the surface, this is indeed a huge loss of combat power for the Resistance Alliance.

"Well," Hermione nodded when she saw Percy so frankly, "yes, you're right...... Okay, then I won't go, you can arrange someone else for this coastal reconnaissance operation! As for me...... I'm going to take a look around the line and see if there are any holes in my defenses. ”

"Okay," Percy nodded slightly, got up and walked to the door, and before leaving the door, she couldn't help but turn around and apologize, "Hermione, I'm sorry! What I just said was a little-"

"It's okay," Hermione shook her head, "you're doing the right thing...... For everyone's sake, I should stay here instead of doing something selfish to satisfy my own selfishness. In the present day, the more selfish people are, the more likely they are to fail in the future. ”

As Percy left the tent, Hermione hesitated for a few more seconds, and suddenly couldn't help but sigh.

"For so long, has Maca been immersed in this contradiction? And then...... Did he leave because he was gradually overwhelmed? ”

To be honest, Hermione didn't really want to think of Maca like that, but in reality, reality made it inevitable that she would think like that.

Because if it weren't for that, then there would never be a real reason for Maca to come back to them...... Seriously, Hermione was a little scared to think about it.

He shook his head vigorously and threw these thoughts out of his mind. Hermione wiped the tip of her pen clean with paper and set it aside, ready to go out and take a look.

……

The living corpses in the old city of Winchester were wiped out, and not a single one remained.

This battle can be said to be a big victory - this is undoubtedly a very good start for Safina, who has just been able to control the power.

After that, Maca took her to the backyard for a conversation, but even Ursula couldn't go with her, and only the two of them knew what they were talking about.

However, when everyone saw them return, they found that Safina had a puzzled expression on her face. It seemed that Maca had said something very difficult to her about, and even if she had listened to it, she hadn't fully understood it for a while.

"What did that McLean guy say to you?"

When her sister Ursula saw her return, she immediately dragged her to her room, and asked even more hurriedly, as if she was afraid that Maca would deceive her sister with her words again.

Maca just smiled casually at this, not paying attention.

"Maka, sit down...... Sit back and rest for a while! ”

Apparently it was Maca's cough earlier that made Willy worried. At present, although he has long returned to his usual appearance, and there is no problem at all on the surface, Willy still can't rest assured.

"Huh?" Maca shook her head, "I'm fine, I don't need to." ”

Having said that, he sat down with Willy in his arms.

"That's right! In a few days, I'm going to make a 'long trip'...... Of course, don't worry, I'll take you. If Mr. Blois is worried about Willy, he can come along. ”

He thought for a moment and said.
