Wildfires burned for a day and a night in miles or more around the outer perimeter of Talon......

No one knew that it hadn't spread farther, but Uther Lightbringer, Davey. Crofond and Joseph. Captain Redpass and other paladins and the generals of the original Talon County only knew:

When they had been defeated in the defense of the previous morning, and had to retreat in disarray, and watched the undead be unlucky, they had to take up the ones they had to eat or kill the enemy, and take part in the vigorous logging operations and the intense work of making fire belts in the mountains around Talon County.

In the course of a day and a night, with the efforts of a small number of paladins, some of the Lordaeron Heavy Sword and Shield Legion, the original militia of Talon County, and most of the armed farmers, with the efforts of the remaining 2,000 troops and a large number of volunteers day and night, they finally managed to save their homes from the terrible wildfires and the entire Talon County from being poisoned and burned by the fire in the morning of the next day......

However, it is inevitable that in addition to the gray patch of the entire Talon County, where all the houses, streets, and miscellaneous items are covered with a thick layer of black ash, most of the soldiers or farmers who work outdoors are also completely black, even the Uther Lightbringer, who was originally wearing the golden armor of the bag and holding the silver hammer, has now become a black and bad old man, that is, the gray-black 'eagle' on his shoulder armor with a hint of golden light can still be easily recognized.

Although almost everyone here in Dalong County is in a mess at the moment, in fact, everyone's hearts are extremely relaxed and comfortable at this time, because, there is no doubt that they have won, they have defeated those menacing undead, and they are sure that for a long time to come, those terrible monsters will definitely not dare to provoke this place in Dalong County.

Because

The summoned monster, even more terrifying than the undead, and as huge as a towering mountain, had shown its might, swept away the undead armies with its hammer, and killed thousands or even tens of thousands of undead in an instant with its flames that melted the earth, and the cunning undead leaders and death knights ran away again!

Yes, just ran......

They ran very simply, according to the information detected by a certain goblin who was not afraid of death by helicopter, it is said that the other party only brought a few ghouls and death knights, and ran north without looking back, and disappeared in an instant, leaving behind those countless undead who were violently tortured and burned by the huge monsters, and tens of thousands of undead monsters were turned into powder under the raging flames in a matter of minutes......

Perhaps, after yesterday morning's battle, there will be a terrible nightmare that lingers in the hearts of their undead monsters and the masters behind them, right?

But......

The only thing that made the soldiers of Talonshire feel sorry for the truth, and they didn't know why, that huge and terrifying monster was summoned only after a few hundred heartbeats, and it gradually turned into a phantom and dissipated between heaven and earth again...... But the fire and the countless undead it had slain, as well as some unexpected 'tokens' and the horrific scene that had erupted like a huge volcano, remained outside of Talon County, and it was enough to prove how great its power was.

The people of Talon County never thought that the undead who were incomparably powerful in their eyes, the hideous and terrifying abominations, the cunning and swift ghouls, the cruel necromancers, the vicious plagues, and so on, were all worth mentioning in the eyes of that being, and in an instant, they were all burned by its attacks and fires, and no longer existed in this part of their homeland?

'Too good ......'

"The woods seem to have burned all the way down, and I don't know what happened to the animals inside......

After the dawn was complete, a little girl with two ponytails in a house in Talon County couldn't help but sigh softly after staring out the window for a long time with round eyes.

"But, Miss Hermione, who is that big man you conjured up yesterday?"

"It's an amazing guy...... I saw it secretly, and it rushed forward, holding the hammer bigger than my house, and in a few strokes it completely knocked the bad guys away, it was braver and stronger than Daddy and all of them, and more than Grandpa Uther!! ”

Captain Redpass's house, looking out of Talon County, looking at the magma pools in the distance and the countless fire elements happily jumping in the magma pools, after a day and a night, the little girl Pamela, who finally gradually recovered from the fright, couldn't help but ask curiously to a young lady who was standing beside her, and at the same time, she just tiptoed and followed the other party, looking at the distant scene by the windowsill on the second floor of her house.

Although Pamela didn't know how powerful Grandpa Uther was, which many people said was powerful, anyway, she felt that the big guy that Miss Hermione conjured up yesterday morning had a weapon the size of a house, and if it was Uther, the bravest father and the most powerful grandfather in the world, she would definitely be smashed flat with a hammer, right?

Luckily, the big man was conjured up by Miss Hermione, and he was certainly not in the same league as those horrible bad guys, so he definitely wouldn't hit her dad and uncle with that huge, flaming hammer that was even bigger than her house!

“……”

"I'm sorry, Pamela, I don't know who it is......"

Yes, Hermione didn't know what it was, but she knew that she was also frightened and promised that she would never dare to summon such monsters of unknown origin and try those strange summoning circles again.

Fortunately, those undead were the first to provoke the other party, otherwise, Hermione didn't even dare to imagine the possible consequences!

And now, take a look......

It was only a short five-minute summoning time, and that terrifying huge flame monster easily turned the battlefield around and in front of Dalong County into a terrifying scene like a volcanic hell, it not only killed at least twenty or thirty thousand undead, but also turned the front of Dalong County into a large lava lake, and even, with so many strange ...... that were created and born without knowing how

Fire elemental life?

Yes, it's the fire elemental!

Anyway, that's what Hermione heard from the well-informed Lord Uther, who was said to have seen the kind of monster that could frolic in the lava near the Burning Plains and Blackstone Mountain.

Therefore, Hermione couldn't help but be a little afraid, she thought that if the monster had stayed a little longer, or could have it exist permanently...... Perhaps, as it roared at the time, the whole world would be on fire, right?

Thankfully, some of the descriptions in the magic books were accurate, and by the time the five minutes had passed, the monster, which was not controlled by anyone, had turned into a giant phantom in a roar of anger and unwillingness, and quickly disappeared completely, finally without causing more damage to the surrounding area, and even less time to turn around and do something to their side of Daronshi.

But just like that, even if the other party didn't specifically target this side, they were busy enough with the soldiers and civilians in Dalong County! Almost, if Uther and other paladins hadn't reacted quickly enough and quickly organized people to cut down the woods around the town and create a fire barrier, I am afraid that they would really be affected by the pond fish and completely reduced to ashes in the fire, just like the surrounding mountains and forests......

"Don't you know who that big man is?"

The big man was obviously conjured up by Miss Hermione, but Miss Hermione said that she didn't know the other party's name, which made Pamela feel very puzzled, but she was well-behaved, even if she didn't understand, she didn't continue to ask more, because she could see that Miss Hermione seemed to have something on her mind now?

"Sister Hermione......"

"Can I run to the front and play with the animals on fire?"

After thinking about it, Pamela tilted her head and pointed to the interesting fire elementals who were frolicking and running in the magma pool in the distance.

She didn't know what it was, and no one had ever told her, so she had to call it a little critter on fire for the time being.

Moreover, she had just looked at it carefully for a long time, and she had basically figured it out: those little things on fire in the distance, they didn't seem to be afraid of fire at all, and they didn't seem to be afraid of heat at all, and they didn't have anything to do in that fire all the time, but it was really amazing! The most important thing is that the other party looks red, as if they are having fun?

“！！”

"Absolutely not!"

"Pamela, you must remember: never go near that side, and never play with those 'little animals on fire', because it is not right for children to play with fire, and if they like to play with fire, they are all bad boys, so you must never play with them, understand?"

Hermione, who was taken aback by the other party's words, quickly turned her head and spoke, staring into the other party's eyes and telling in words that the other party could understand.

Those things called fire elementals, although Hermione didn't know their powers, she only knew that those things were definitely very dangerous for ordinary people, even ordinary soldiers, let alone a little girl like Pamela who didn't have any power.

Although the undead are completely dead now, monsters that are even more difficult than the undead have appeared, and they are now just outside the junction of Talonshire, in a lava field that may be miles away a few hundred meters away!

That's right, the monsters Hermione was talking about were those fire elementals that could be in the thousands, large and small!

Although they just stayed in that scorching area, they didn't come out easily, and they didn't have too strong desire and intent to attack, but Hermione felt that it was better to stay away from them with that kind of uncontrolled monster?

"Oh......"

"Okay, Pamela listens to Sister Hermione, and won't play with those bad boys who play with fire!!"

Although I don't know why Miss Hermione is so nervous, but the obedient and well-behaved Pamela still nodded hard, just like the other party told her not to leave the house before, she stayed at home honestly, even if there was a lot of trouble outside, she hadn't gone out for a day and a night.

'Excuse me! ’

'Is Wizard Granger here?' ’

At this moment, a soldier who was completely black, and who had taken off all his armor for the convenience of his work, and was wearing a well-fitting but black overcoat, with a shield and a sword behind him, ran to the door of Pamela's house and shouted.

“！！”

"I'll go meet our guests first, remember, Pamela, stay at home, don't go outside, your father will come back to see you in the evening, you know?"

Although she didn't know who was looking for her, or what was going on with Uther, after giving a final admonition to the little girl and seeing the other person nod her head in agreement, Hermione hurriedly turned around and walked briskly downstairs.

Perhaps, it's for those fire elements and aftermath outside, right?

But Hermione swears that she really can't do anything, her own abilities are like that, and the reason why she was able to summon that terrible creature was really just an accident, what to do next, how to deal with those lava pools and fire elementals, she really had no way at all, and she didn't know what to do at all!

——————————

“……”

(ー`?? ー)

'Anyone who plays with fire is all bad kids?' ’

Anne suddenly felt that the words of Miss Hermione on the screen always sounded like she was talking about her, Professor Anne? Although, she herself often plays with fire, but she assures that she has never been a bad child!

How could she, Professor Anne, be such a smart, well-behaved and cute child, be the kind of bad boy who doesn't learn well and 'likes to play with fire'? That kind of thing absolutely doesn't exist!

(ˉ▽ ̄~)Hey~

That's right, that's it, there's no mistake.

（…… ）

(?? °???? °??)

“！！”

Σ(⊙ω⊙`)！

"Hey! Nick, who almost lost his head, what the hell are you going to do, if you want to fly, fly to the side, why are you coming to stop me from watching the 'movie'? ”

(?? -?? *)？

Little Anne was very dissatisfied with the ghost of Gryffindor House in front of her, the ghost who almost had no head running to her and blocking her sight in front of her, because the other party blocked the screen she was looking at Hermione, although the other party's body was almost transparent, but presumably no one wanted to get a layer of frosted glass in front of them when watching a movie.

If the other party doesn't leave, then she will definitely change the other party from 'almost headless' to 'never headless'!

'Hello, Professor Anne, if you may, please call me Sir Nicholas of Mimcy?' ’

'Excuse me, can I disturb you for a few minutes?' I guess it's not time for the exciting part yet, so you should be able to spare a little bit of time, right? ’

After twisting his head behind him, looking at the screen behind him, and seeing that there was nothing too exciting on it, and even the students were a little bit of a mouth-to-ear, and didn't pay too much attention to it, Nick pulled back the head with the skin around his neck, and looked at a little bit of a little girl professor who was even more lawless than Peeves.

It had waited a long time before it had made up its mind to take advantage of this opportunity to discuss something.

"No way!"

（?? ╭╮?? ）

"Because people don't want to be bothered by you now......"

(???? ˇ?? ˇ????)

You know, Professor Anne is very busy, and besides, unless she's crazy, she's wasting her time on a ghost!

'Huh?! ’

'This ......'

Seeing that the professor did not play according to the routine, and rejected himself fiercely without giving any face, the smile and upturned beard on the face of Nick, who was almost headless, that is, Sir Nicholas of Mimcy, suddenly stiffened there, and his head fell off in shock.

But fortunately, there is still a layer of skin attached, so it is quickly straightened up, but even then, it looks very embarrassed and embarrassed, and a little overwhelmed?

"Ahem......"

"Professor Annie, since Nick has something to ask you for, why don't you hear about it first?"

At this time, a certain nosy old man Dumbledore stepped out, first glanced at the top of the screen, and felt that today may not have the shocking picture of yesterday to see, so he took off the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and turned his head sideways to a little girl beside him.

He expressed his shock at what Miss Granger summoned yesterday, because he knew that if something like that was summoned on Earth, the damage and movement would be absolutely amazing! So, after a day of observation and seeing the damage that big guy had wrought, he made up his mind that when that Miss Granger returned, he would have to talk to her!

However, that kind of thing is not urgent now, and it must not be done while this little guy is still at Hogwarts.

“……”

(￢д￢。 )

"Then you can say it quickly, you have to be fast, people are very busy!!"

s (???? ˇεˇ????) ゞ

There was no way, a bad old man stared at little Annie, who couldn't chase the ghost directly, so she had to hold her arm and stare angrily at the unfamiliar ghost who flew in front of her and blocked her vision.

'When, of course! ’

'Professor Annie, here's the thing, we Hogwarts ghosts have a ghost meeting together, including Barrow the Bloody of Slytherin, the Fat Friar of Hufflepuff, and Lady Gray of Ravenclaw, and we have come to a consensus that your punishment for Peeves is actually enough......

Speaking of this, Nick, who was almost headless, paused, first looked at the little girl professor in front of him worriedly, and after seeing that the other party's face did not have that very unhappy or disgusted expression, he continued:

'Plus it's been making noise at the bottom of the lake all day, making it hard for the Grindilows in that big lake to be quiet, and it's been saying bad things about you, and Merfolk leader Merkus came yesterday to give his opinion......

'So, Professor Annie, we Hogwarts ghosts would like to ask you if you can put Peeves back if you're angry enough?' We're sure it won't mess with you anymore, we promise! ’

Remembering the horrific things they had heard from the swearing Peeves when they had run to the bottom of the lake, Nick, who was almost headless, glanced carefully at a frowning little girl and a joising headmaster, but of course he knew what to say and what not to say, so he didn't show his expression too much.

He, Sir Nicholas of Mimsy, knew that both Dumbledore and the even more terrifying little girl Professor in front of him had a way to deal with their ghosts, so if they didn't want to end up with Peeves, they better be honest?

"Oh!"

"That's right! Peeves thing......"

Hearing Nick, who was almost headless, say this, Dumbledore also quickly responded. Obviously, he had thought about scooping up that unlucky guy two days ago, and he accidentally forgot about it.

"What do you think, Professor Anne? Or just let it go? ”

If it was just this almost headless Nick, the little guy would definitely not pay attention to it, but Dumbledore felt that if he was the headmaster, his old face should still have some effect, right?

“……”

(ー`?? ー)

"No! People think it's too cheap to keep it for two days, and they have to keep it closed for a while! ”

o(｀^??) o Humph!

"But don't worry, I'll let it go if I keep it up for a while!!"

(?????? ▽??????)

That's right, after a while, she'll be sure to let go of that hateful and unchanging Peeves! However, how long 'for a while' is, she has the final say.

Maybe it's three or five days, maybe it's a week or two, or maybe it's just planned, after you're out of Hogwarts? Anyway, it shouldn't be too long, so these guys don't need to worry too much about that Peeves.

'This ......'

Maybe he felt a little embarrassed, maybe he felt that he had almost lost his head because he had failed the trust of the Ghost Council, so he looked at Dumbledore a little unwillingly, as if he hoped that Mr. Headmaster could make peace with him, and promote the resolution reached by the ghosts of Hogwarts as soon as possible, and release the Peeves who were tied to the barrel of the cannon and sunk to the bottom of the dark lake as soon as possible?

After all, using that kind of cruel means to punish a ghost, and sinking the other person into the dark lake bottom and silt, these ghosts are also a bit hurtful or empathetic.

"Oh~!"

"Look, Harry and Fleur have finally made peace with Hermione again, and it seems that our three warriors are about to embark on a new adventure again?"

However, at this time, Dumbledore seemed to not see Nick's eyes, and directly pointed to the 'screen' and pretended to shout.

Obviously, he didn't seem to be going to argue with some good-natured little girl over some ghost who was just tied to the barrel of a gun and sunk in the lake, after all, that kind of thing was just a small thing...... Besides, Pippi ghost or something, if you throw it to the bottom of the lake and soak it for ten days and half a month, you won't die! Besides, after the last two days without Peeves, the order of the school has obviously improved a lot, so Dumbledore doesn't plan to dwell too much on this kind of thing.

"Huh? Where is it? ”

∑(?? △｀)？！

With a wave of her hand, she slapped a nasty ghost into the walls of the auditorium at once, allowing its transparent body to penetrate the walls and disappear before little Anne hurriedly looked at the screen.

Sure enough, it was really like what a bad old man said, that Potter and Fleur, those two guys who were lucky enough to survive to this day, and they were really together with Hermione and the others......

——————————

"Harry! Hibiscus! ”

"And little Timmy, great, you're finally here!!"

In the 'lumberyard' in front of Talon County, in the team of paladins with bright clothes, black on one side and silver on the other, Hermione finally met her two companions who had not been seen in many days, Harry and Fleur, who had been separated for days!

Therefore, she was excited, so she rushed directly towards the two of them and gave them a big hug.

"It's incredible!"

"Hermione, I just heard from Master Uther, what the hell is going on, you really did all this?"

"But how did you do it?!"

After the hug, Harry said in disbelief, pointing to the sea of fire in front of him, the terrifying lava field, and the fire monsters running and playing happily in the sea of fire lava.

At first, Harry and Fleur thought that this was what this place in Talon County was like, and that it was the terrain of this terrible volcanic land......

But when they heard the Lord Uther say that it was originally a lush forest, but later, in order to deal with the undead, the Witch of Granger cast a terrible summoning spell to turn it into what they were looking like, neither of them knew what to say!

Because, they had never seen anything like that, and they had never dared to imagine what kind of spell or spell could inflict such terrible damage on the land.

‘……’

‘……’

At the same time, the paladins of the Silver Hand who had just arrived here also looked towards the three of them.

Obviously, the paladins who had traveled thousands of miles to the aid of Talon County only to find the Silver Hand had finally run away in vain were also curious, wondering what kind of horrific tactics the Granger witch had used to cause all this terrible scene.

You know, they hurried along the way, did not hesitate to expend horsepower, and didn't even have time to clean up the undead they encountered along the way, so they barely arrived here before noon today...... Ironically, however, there were no enemies at all, no active undead, only curling smoke and ashes, large and small magma pools and lava lakes everywhere in sight, and the larger, deeper crater like a volcanic pool in front of it.

So, the paladins, who don't know why, don't know what kind of spell can create everything in front of them, are really curious to know what the witch who came to meet them and looked a little sluggish was saying.

"Sorry, Harry, it's a bit tricky to explain, and I don't know where to start......"

"Anyway, you still have you, you just need to know that you're late!"

With that, Hermione, who had reunited with her companion, laughed at the confused Harry, Fleur, Timmy, and the paladins who were looking at her.

Seriously, until now, Hermione was still a little scared!

However, when she saw her companions and saw that those tall and powerful paladins had arrived in Talon County, she knew that they, including Talon County and the people in Talon County, should be safe, and there was no need to worry about the invasion of the undead.

As for the fire elementals on the outside......

That's not something she should think about, anyway, she doesn't have the ability to manage even if she is like a tube!

“！！”

"Sister Gianna? How did you end up here?! ”

Suddenly, Hermione saw a familiar figure again, the other party was dressed in a blue mage robe, with long golden hair and that pretty face, who was Gianna she hadn't seen for a long time?

So, after cheering, she rushed directly towards the other party and excitedly shook the other's hands.

"Well...... this"

"It might also be a bit cumbersome to explain? But Hermione, you just need to know that I'm also here for help, because Arthas is in trouble! ”

After saying that, Gianna also playfully responded with Hermione's words just now.

She'd heard and seen what was going on here, and though she was shocked by Hermione's indiscriminate summoning of that kind of being, she thought, given that they hadn't caused more serious consequences, and had saved Daron County by mistake, she thought that kind of thing could be talked about later?

Because now, she really has important things to do, and it can't be delayed!

"Uther ......"

"I'm sure you've just read Alsace's letter, how about it, have you made your decision? Even though I know you're very, tired right now? ”

Seeing that the paladins and soldiers in Talon County in front of her were all gray, Gianna, who knew what the other party's situation was now, hesitated for a while, but she quickly became firm again:

"But ......"

"Uther, I swear, Arthas they really need reinforcements now, they are blocked in the Valley of the Hearth by the undead, the undead are attacking fiercely, they may only be able to hold out for a month or so at most, and now only your paladins may have time to save him!"

Yes, Gianna came here and was with the paladins of the Silver Hand who came to help, in fact, she came to pull reinforcements!

"Don't worry......"

"Master Gianna, I'll go and save him, but I'm afraid you have also seen our situation, we have just finished a battle, and the paladins have just completed a long-distance run, even if we set off now, I am afraid that we will not be able to exert much combat power......"

"So, please be patient, we all need to repair for the day, and tomorrow, I promise you, I will lead the paladins to support Arthas!"

Uther sighed, Andohar was really too far away from the Valley of the Hearth, even if they were all cavalry, it would take at least twenty days to arrive, so he only hoped that Arthas, who was guarding the Valley of the Hearth with the terrain, could wait for them, right?

Also, Uther suddenly felt that it was necessary for him to write a report to King Terenus immediately, because the current situation of the plague was not as simple as they had thought, and it was likely to be a conspiracy against Lordaeron, and Lordaeron had to be vigilant.

“……”

“……”

Hearing the conversation between Uther and Gianna in front of her, Hermione reluctantly glanced at Harry and Fleur, because they knew that after the mission to rescue Talon County, they were afraid that they would have to travel thousands of miles to the so-called Hearthvale......

They don't know how long this war, which shouldn't have belonged to them, will last? And when, or how, will they be able to return to Hogwarts?
