Two full days had passed since Percy sent a team of wizards to scout along the coast in boats. For the past 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 continued to decrease in the slightest, as if for every one killed, two or three others would follow, making them feel exhausted.

You must know that even if you squat at the door of your house and press ants with your fingers, a game you played when you were a child, you will be tired for two days and two nights in a row. Not to mention, living corpses can't be compared to ants, and although Harry can easily kill ordinary living corpses now, they still have to swing their swords hard.

"How's it going on the docks?"

Today, Hermione also picked up her wand and rune cards, and stood behind the front line to support Harry and the others, so that they would not be injured by excessive fatigue and negligence.

However, while she is still on the move, she also needs to keep an eye on all aspects of the camp and inside and outside the camp - she has already left many things in Percy's hands to take control, but she still needs to deploy the on-the-spot response.

"The port of Granger in Cherbourg, France, has sent another group of men to assist in the defense, and Mr. Weasley has placed them on the flank." A wizard replied, "Besides...... The reconnaissance team hasn't returned yet. ”

"Well, I see," Hermione nodded, glanced at the sides of the battle line a few more times, and then said in a loud voice, "Harry, Neville!" You guys can come back...... Go back and take a break! ”

"Okay!"

Neville answered, but instead of backing down, he turned his head and shouted at Harry:

"Harry, you're too physically exhausted, you go back first - I'll help you stop it."

"No need, you go back first, I can still hold it here!" Harry didn't look back and said, "Don't say I'm physically exhausted, you've been maintaining the Patronus Charm, but you're much more tired than me!" ”

Obviously, both of them actually knew that the efficiency of the battle was much lower than in the previous two days due to fatigue in these few hours. The reduced efficiency of destroying living corpses directly leads to the fact that it takes them more time to maintain the pressure on the defensive line at a more stable baseline.

As a result, the battle against the tide of living corpses has fallen into a vicious circle.

"Don't fight, you all come back to me!" Seeing this, Hermione said loudly, "During the time you go to rest, just leave it to me!" ”

"Hermione, we're-"

"Don't be verbose," Hermione immediately interrupted when she saw that Harry was still going to be strong, "Do you want me to come over and invite you?" Why don't you go back and rest! ”

Seeing that Hermione was furious, Harry and Neville glanced at each other, and finally retreated from the battle line at the snickering gaze of some Ginny and the others later.

After passing by Hermione and hurrying back to the camp, Harry, who was carrying the Gryffindor sword, couldn't help but whisper to Neville:

"Hermione seems to have gotten a lot more grumpy today, is it because the tide of living corpses has lasted too long?"

The two of them returned from the defensive line, and immediately attracted the attention of many wizards in the camp. However, after all this time, Harry and the others had long been accustomed to these admiring or curious glances, and only nodded slightly when they staggered past someone, and did not pay too much attention to it.

"Huh?" Neville paused, then shook his head, "I don't see that." ”

"Yes," Harry wondered, "even if we can't withstand it with our current combat strength, we can still ask the Muggle army to help like we did last time...... It's not a desperate situation, so it won't rush her like this. ”

"Who knows!" Neville shrugged, "Anyway, I've been dating Hannah for so long, and I still don't know much about girls' psychology...... Anyway, just follow her! ”

"yes!" Harry sighed, "I don't understand—"

As the two were talking, Harry paused, then jerked around and looked in the direction he had come.

"What's wrong, Harry?"

Neville asked as soon as he saw that he seemed to be aware of something.

"Someone seems to be coming...... It's a very familiar feeling. At this point, he waved his hand, "Neville, let's go back and have a look, quick!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he ran back first, as fast as a gust of wind.

Seeing that he was so anxious, for fear that he would delay the emergency by taking half a step too slowly, Neville immediately cast the Patronus Charm again to summon the silver lion, and flew out of the camp as soon as he turned over, leaving only the wizards around the camp to watch the two of them leave again with a look of amazement.

……

Harry's perception this time was actually a rather special situation, except for him, Hermione, Ginny, Hannah and others inside and outside the camp, and even on the edge of the defensive line, had not yet discovered anything.

It wasn't until Harry and Neville were able to quickly return to this side that some of the wizards who were close to the line of defense against the living corpses could see some unusual shadows through the mist.

"Look, what's that—"

Seeing that Harry and Neville had just left and returned, Hermione was about to ask, but she heard a reminder from a guard wizard behind her. The next moment, she didn't care to ask any more, and hurriedly turned her head to look out.

Indeed, despite the fact that there were only living corpses in front of the line and a gray mist in the distance, she could still see a dark shadow in one direction that was different from the others. It was as if there was something more in that place, and it was constantly moving and getting closer.

"Hermione, Neville and I are going to take a look."

Harry saw that everyone, including Hermione, had noticed the strangeness, so he simply didn't say anything more and ran straight out. Soon, however, he and Neville were stopped by Hermione.

"What's the hurry, forgot what we said before? Don't be impulsive when you encounter unexpected situations...... Especially you! Harry, you're the first of us who needs to be calm! ”

Hermione said a few words to him, then nodded at Neville:

"Let your Patronus come and find out...... It was definitely not easy for that shadow to move so quickly in such a dense crowd of living corpses. Maybe it's a special giant living corpse, or maybe it's ...... It could even be a high-level living corpse! ”

As soon as the words "high-level living corpses" came out of Hermione's mouth, Harry and Neville, who had directly "met" the lava living corpses, immediately changed their faces - they were not easy to mess with.

At that moment, Harry subconsciously clenched the hilt of his sword.

"I see," Neville rolled down from the silver lion's back, then raised his wand and pointed at the shadows in the distance, "Come and see!" ”

As he spoke, the Lion Patronus had already jumped over the guard's line with his long silver "tail" and rushed straight out.
