"The Federation's manpower has finally arrived... just to the east. Akinbad plans to take his people from the easternmost part of London directly to the Ministry of Magic."
In the Leaky Cauldron, Kingsley opened the note, took a look at it, and then said:
"The fact that someone witnessed the Killing Curse needs to be put aside for now. We are currently short of manpower. Bringing people from the Federation in and informing them of the specific situation - this is the top priority right now!"
"What should we do?" Sirius asked immediately, "Scrimgeour may not be able to tell clearly what is happening in London at the moment... How about I go and meet with them first?"
Lu Ping nodded, but soon frowned slightly and said:
"Diagon Alley does need someone to guard this side. After all, there are many civilians coming to seek refuge behind us. But even so, we can't let you go alone... Take a few people with you! We can also look after each other on the way."
"Yes!" Kingsley said, "Although I also know that it is more concealed to act alone, but no one can guarantee that we will not encounter any unexpected situations."
Seeing them say this, Sirius thought for a moment and was about to answer. But before he could speak, Aberforth suddenly waved his hand and stood up.
"Why don't I just go too!" He said, "One or two people are enough for this kind of thing."
"no!"
When the other three heard this, they immediately stretched out their hands to hold him down. Among them, Kingsley immediately said:
"Aberforth, Diagon Alley obviously needs your combat power more - think about Maka! Why does he stay in St. Mungo's all this time? Isn't it to protect the people who go there to take refuge like us? When support is not in place, our two evacuation sites are the most important and must not be missed."
Kingsley's meaning has actually been expressed very clearly.
In fact, if Maka had gone out to deal with those dark wizards from the beginning, half of the enemies might have been missing by now. However, during this period when there was not much protection at the refuge, and the dark wizards everywhere outside, he did not dare to go out easily. He was worried about certain accidents that he had to guard against.
"So, Aberforth," Kingsley said earnestly, "just stay here! When Sirius and Mr. Akinbard meet up, they will be asked to dispatch to St. Mungo's and us immediately. Manpower, then you can go out and save those people outside who are confused by Haierbo... "
"'Save'?" After hearing this, Aberforth immediately curled his lips and said, "I don't agree with your argument of 'acknowledge your mistakes and you can correct them'... For me, I just want to save those things that disturb me in my retirement. The bastard of life needs to be taught a lesson!”
"Oh, okay! OK, OK!" Kingsley sighed, "It's not a 'rescue', it's a 'teaching'... Sirius, go ahead and pick a few people! We still have to write a letter to Mary. Ka’s report will prepare him to receive the federation’s people.”
"I see."
…
It's just a brief coded message. Of course, it doesn't require people to risk huge risks to send it. Simply sending an owl will do the job.
Not long after, when the spider was still waiting for him in the waiting hall of St. Mungo's to deliver a message to him, the letter sent from Diagon Alley made him nod his head with understanding.
Ajinbad finally arrived in London, which meant that he would soon hand over St. Mungo's to them and go out to find out for himself.
However, it would obviously take a lot of time just to rely on Sirius and a few Aurors to pick up people in the fog.
After all, because the fog area cannot apparate normally, no one knows where Ajinbad and the others are exactly, and it will undoubtedly be very difficult to find them.
"Let all the partners in the East District put aside their patrols and go to the outer areas to look for Akinbad—I think you should remember who that is! Find them, and then tell them to allocate more people to St. Mungo's."
After sending out another one of the few alienated Acromantulas left around him, Maka sealed the entrance to St. Mungo's again.
Needless to say, those who are still retained by Maka are naturally the first batch of alienated spiders. This spider, which Maka casually named "Little Five", now has several generations of descendants, and those little guys are currently wandering around outside.
As soon as it left the red brick department store, it scurried into the corner and headed east quietly.
It was very fast, and it was not distracted along the way, almost turning a blind eye to the dark wizards that passed by it.
Maka's order is to go to the East District to contact its companions to find someone, so it will definitely do what Maka says. Unless it is passively threatened, it will not pay attention to anything irrelevant to its own purpose.
There is no doubt that even if the acromantula's intelligence is not low, their own group characteristics also make their thinking very different from that of humans.
When they receive instructions from their leader, they will carry out the instructions with utmost determination, which is why Aragog was able to send the entire group to attack Hogwarts in a single thought.
Today, Maka is equivalent to Aragog, the only leader of these little guys who were raised by him from spider eggs.
Of course, this point also made Maka already plan to let these little guys live on an uninhabited island in the future.
Because he knew that once he passed away, no one would be able to control these spiders. Even if it is appointed by him personally, after his death the little ones will no longer obey, but will choose the oldest spider to become the leader of the new generation.
However, regardless of the four little guys who were born before Xiao Wu, at least Xiao Wu may not be able to become the new leader in the future.
"Click—"
I saw it running, then suddenly stopped, and its eight big dark eyes looked around nimbly. And the reason why it stopped suddenly was precisely because it sensed some kind of fatal danger.
"Click, click, click."
After the Acromantula acquired the blood of the basilisk, these little guys no longer liked to tap their front jaws without any trouble. But when faced with a crisis, they sometimes can't help but make this sound to intimidate their enemies.
And now, although it has not been able to find where the enemy is until now, its naturally sharp intuition tells it that something is definitely wrong around here.
At the next moment, Xiao Wu suddenly jumped back. Considering its current reduced size, the distance of this jump can be said to be surprisingly far.
I have to say that this jump is indeed effective. Because the next second it jumped away, a green light suddenly fell on the place where it originally stood.
"Bang!"
In a burst of dust, Xiao Wu retreated some distance again, then turned around and wanted to get into an alley on the other side.
In addition to normal hunting and guarding the territory, the Acromantula never engages in unnecessary fights, not to mention that now it has Maka's orders. For it, running away was a natural choice, and it didn't even think much about it.
But it wanted to run away, but the attacker didn't seem to agree.
"Kill... kill! Everything alive... must be killed!"
Although the figure never spoke from the beginning to the end, he looked as if he was constantly talking like this.
Unlike the collectors themselves, the purpose of these original believers who were "resurrected" by the collectors is obviously simpler in their actions.
That's right, it's just "killing", killing everything that seems to be able to move.
Not long after, the figure with a wand in its hand chased the small black dot on the ground and ran through the entire alley.
When the "person" and the spider rushed to the next street at the other end of the alley, Xiao Wu suddenly realized that he might not be able to escape the pursuit of the guy behind him, so he suddenly stopped.
And then, as its body suddenly swelled, its long and increasingly thick legs suddenly stretched out and stabbed heavily at the opponent running toward him.
"boom!"
This time, the force was not weak, just one blow kicked the opponent back into the alley.
Of course, it was obvious that this was not over yet. Soon, Xiao Wu's four pairs of eyes turned from black to gray, and his petrification talent was activated instantly.
Obviously, the effect of casting this kind of covering talent magic on an alley without branching roads is absolutely perfect. When the opponent was knocked into the air, he had nowhere to hide and could only bear the full force.
However, after the figure fell to the ground, he quickly got up as if nothing happened. And there was only a slight layer of inconspicuous gray on his body.
"Avada Kedavra-"
The green light suddenly shone brightly in the alleyway, and Xiao Wu, who sensed the danger, had to stop his petrification ability and jumped to the side with great flexibility.
The next moment, a green arc of light rushed out of the alley, plowing across the ground with a hiss, leaving a terrifying trace.
From the confrontation just now, it can be seen that the opponent is not only extremely resistant to magic, but his physical fitness has also become quite strong. After being kicked by Xiao Wu, there was not even the slightest damage.
You know, even if Xiao Wu's hasty blow just now didn't use too much force, ordinary people would probably have fallen to the ground!
Xiao Wu knew that with this kind of opponent, continuing to fight would only result in more losses than gains, so he immediately turned around and ran towards another alley.
It didn't want to continue fighting. To be honest, it was better to quickly complete the task that Maka had asked.
It's a pity that it wants to run away again and again, but the opponent also wants to chase it again and again. There is almost no difference between the instinctive persistence of the two sides.
