When Maka and others searched all the way and found Kingsley, the latter had already withdrawn from the battlefield with the Muggle troops sent by the Queen, and was almost back near Buckingham Palace where the Queen was.
At this moment, after a series of previous coordinated operations, the losses of the Muggle army were indeed considerable. Even if Kingsley had adopted the strategy of avoiding battle and protecting himself without fighting, his number would still be nearly 20% less than when he first entered the battlefield.
A sudden war like this in a city where most heavy attack weapons cannot be used, and the enemy is a large group of "weird" wizards, are too many disadvantages for the Muggle army.
"Old Bishop Mr. Davidson is now in Buckingham Palace to persuade the Queen to temporarily evacuate London. When we arrive at Buckingham Palace later, I will be responsible for escorting her away..."
Currently, in front of the marching column of the Muggle army, Kingsley and Maka were sitting on the roof of a Land Rover Defender, talking loudly, discussing some future Muggle arrangements.
"It's just," Kingsley said, but then shook his head and said, "Whether the Queen herself is willing to leave, and whether the old bishop can persuade her, is an unknown thing."
To say that when there were not many black-eyed wizards in the past, the combat effectiveness of the Muggle army against those crazy wizards was actually quite impressive, at least not inferior to that of the wizard team.
But now, to be honest, most of the people on both sides have to evacuate the battlefield first and hand over all combat tasks to those like Maka, Delphi, Harry, etc. who can cope with the combat power of the black-eyed wizards.
Otherwise, once a battle occurs, the casualties will be too high.
Correspondingly, Her Majesty the Queen, whose safety has been passable so far, must now stay away from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
"This is London after all!" Maka nodded with understanding, "I can somewhat understand the Queen's mood of wanting to stay here... But there is no way, she really has to withdraw, if not, just use some coercive measures. !”
For wizards, the Muggle Queen is actually indispensable, especially now that this queen is still the one who advocates that wizards and Muggles can get along harmoniously. Not to mention, the military strength of Muggles cannot be underestimated. If the relationship is handled well, they will also be an important force used to deal with Haierbo.
Because of this, nothing can happen to the Muggle Queen. When it’s time to retreat, let her retreat first!
"By the way," Maka thought for a while, then turned around and said, "Then Buckingham Palace, have there been any attacks during this time?"
When Kingsley heard this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly and said:
"Of course there are, but the scale is not large, just sporadic attacks... Mr. Longbottom did a good job. He cooperated with the remaining Auror guards and Muggle guards to eliminate those guys. "
"Oh, really?" Maka immediately smiled after hearing this, "As the queen's wizard guard, he has shown his face this time. I believe he can leave a good impression on the queen."
Neville was originally the kind of action man who didn't talk much. Coupled with his usual shy character, he was born with a simple affinity. This time Kingsley and Maka arranged for him to serve as a temporary guard at the Queen's side, so naturally he was not assigned casually.
In fact, after this battle in London, a collision between wizards and Muggles will inevitably occur. Regardless of the outcome, the original relationship isolation between the two parties will be broken.
By then, the magic world would of course hope to live in harmony. Even if they can't integrate into each other, at least there won't be too much friction.
And when that happens, Neville will become the official proof of "friendship" between wizards and Muggles.
So when Kingsley heard Maka say that, he immediately agreed:
"Yes! And I think... As long as our Mr. Longbottom doesn't make any mistakes, it will be time for the 'Longbottom Family' to rise again."
"Oh no, it's better not to get involved with family or anything," Maka waved her hand immediately after hearing this, "What Neville wants to think is his business, but on the surface, this matter only concerns individuals."
The history and current situation of pure-blood families is a bloody example, and Maka doesn't want to bring out any more sense of family honor.
After all, even if Neville himself has no desire for greed and power, who can guarantee that his descendants will not use the hard-earned achievements of their ancestors to do evil
Of course, these are just casual conversations between Maka and Kingsley at the moment, and what they are talking about is still far away from now!
They could only hear the two of them talking casually, and not long after, they saw the palace in the mist in front of them in the distance.
"We will go directly to the green drawing room in a moment. The Queen and the old bishop are there."
After Kingsley said these words, not long after, they finally arrived at the front garden of Buckingham Palace. After Kingsley and the remaining officers completed the handover of the team, the group went directly through the guard post at the door and entered the splendid Buckingham Palace.
"This way, please."
"Oh, wait a minute."
After Maka said something to the Muggle guard who was about to lead the way, she turned around and said to the American Principal of Ilvermorny who was accompanying him:
"Mr. Stewart, I'm sorry... Next, we are going to meet with the Queen of England. We also have some conversations related to the British Ministry of Magic and the British Muggle royal family. It may not be convenient for you to be there..."
"Well, of course," Stewart nodded immediately after hearing what he said, "I won't follow."
Obviously, if Maka hadn't mentioned this, this person would have just shamelessly gone to listen together. But fortunately, when Maka mentioned this, he immediately took a step back.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Maka smiled at him and gave him a slight salute, and then motioned to the Muggle guard to continue leading the way, and Stuart actually stayed at the door silently, letting another guard take him to a side hall to rest.
"Maka, should I go too?" Harry, who had been following him, couldn't help but ask when he saw this.
"If you don't want to go, you don't have to go," Maka shrugged, "But Neville is over there now... don't you want to see him?"
"Ah!" Harry was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go too."
…
The interior decoration of Buckingham Palace is obviously very eye-catching - gilded pilasters separate the walls, luxurious crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling, exquisite and exquisite patterns and various famous paintings on the walls, making the surroundings look particularly brilliant.
Maka and others followed the guard all the way inside, and soon everyone arrived at the door of the green living room. When the soldiers went in first, they reported the arrival of Maka and others.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come in."
The next moment, a group of five people, including Thomas and Harry, stepped into the living room, which was slightly different from the front hall outside.
It can be found that this living room is obviously very different from the front hall outside. The furnishings here are more concise and clear, and even seem to be a waste of space because there are too many empty places. However, such a living room, which is equally luxurious to ordinary people, is obviously much simpler than other rooms outside.
"Hello, Her Majesty the Muggle Queen... and of course, Mr. Davidson, we haven't seen each other for a while."
While Harry was still greeting Neville who was sitting aside, Maka and Kingsley walked directly to the queen and said hello politely.
"Hello, Mr. McLean."
Before the queen could speak, the old bishop spoke first.
"Thank you very much for arranging someone to come here to ensure the safety of Her Majesty the Queen this time. Two enemies have already rushed to the gate of Buckingham Palace. If Mr. Longbottom hadn't been there, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Although this old bishop was once a wizard and had extraordinary conversation and knowledge, his magical power had never been very strong. When it comes to thanking Neville for his help in defense, he really means it sincerely, because Neville also protected his own safety at the same time.
Before he finished speaking, the queen sitting in the middle couldn't help but nod her head in thanks, which showed that Maka's previous guess about this room was accurate.
After hearing the other party's thanks, he took advantage of the opportunity to say a few words of humility for Neville, and then turned to:
"Mr. Davidson, Her Majesty the Queen, there is something I want to ask first - I don't know, has your plan to evacuate London been confirmed?"
"Oh, this—"
When Old Davidson heard this, he couldn't help turning his head and looking at the Queen. Then, he shook his head a little helplessly, lowered his voice and said:
"Her Majesty does not wish to leave this place."
The old bishop's judgment of the external situation was quite accurate, and it was obvious that he really wanted the queen to leave this ghost place to prevent the situation from getting worse and causing an accident.
But unfortunately, with his face, it seems that he can no longer persuade the dignified and majestic Muggle Queen.
"I have to say that I personally deeply admire Her Majesty the Queen who wants to stay and comfort the affected citizens. However, her safety is also related to the people's sentiments! It's just a pity-"
The old bishop's voice was deliberately kept low at first, but as he continued, his voice became a little louder. It was obvious that he was speaking deliberately to the Queen.
Seeing this, Maka had no choice but to shrug and cooperate with the other party:
"Yes! What if Her Majesty the Queen... Well, in short, as far as the situation outside is concerned, Her Majesty the Queen really needs to take a break. Now the situation in London has deteriorated again, and no one knows what danger will happen in the next second... It’s too risky to stay here.”
At the same time, Harry obviously didn't care about the Queen's affairs. He was asking Neville about the situation here. After hearing Neville talk about the process of protecting the Queen, Harry couldn't help but tell some of his own battle experiences.
On the other hand, the Muggle Queen's attention stayed more in their conversation.
