it's dark.
With the sun well and truly sinking below the horizon, another night has arrived. Saying goodbye to the rare pleasant weather during the day today, the evening wind began to blow without realizing it.
Although I don't know if this damn god wants to set off the atmosphere for the upcoming "big show", it is obvious that no one will be happy for its "enthusiasm and thoughtfulness".
After all, this is not a stage play for people to have fun, but a real disaster and war that affects many lives!
"Minister Shacklebolt, the town of Faversham is behind us! The people in the town have completely moved to the evacuation site, and Miss Granger has also rushed back and is leading the volunteer team back to Canterbury!"
"Got it... Maka! You heard it too, right?"
"Of course! You should also prepare to return! Harry will stay and the others will retreat as planned -"
With the help of Hermione and the volunteers she gathered, Maka's plan finally seemed to be back on track. And now, we will soon enter the final stage of the entire plan.
It must be said that, except for this most critical stage, the rest of the actions are actually just interludes and will not affect the final result that Maka expected.
From the life and death of Gary and his grandfather to the errors caused by Delphi not participating in the battle, it can be said that they will only determine the final number of casualties.
Although it seems very callous to say this, as far as Maka's plan is concerned, it is indeed like this.
"clear!"
Hearing Maka loudly announcing his retreat from the enemy group ahead, Kingsley only paused for a moment, then decisively turned around and waved his hand.
"Everyone! Disapparate back to Spiral Town!"
"etc-"
Just when most people obeyed the order and began to apparate away from this place one after another, a figure suddenly rushed from the back of the team to the front.
"Kingsley Shacklebolt, where is my grandfather?"
"Why, can't you trust Maka? Since Miss Granger has handed over your grandfather to Maka before, then he will be fine..."
"I can't trust you!"
Seeing this boy gnashing his teeth at him, Kingsley frowned slightly, pointed at the dark battlefield in front of him and said:
"Okay! Then go find Maka and ask for details yourself - of course, if you have the courage!"
At this moment, the front line of the battlefield was completely dark, and most of the living corpses that looked like the sons of demons had been coated with a strange black substance. Except for Maka, even Harry could only fight with a wand and a sword in one hand, using the light of magic to fight very cautiously.
If this kid Gary stepped into it under such circumstances, he would really die without knowing how.
"What, you don't dare anymore?"
"snort!"
He didn't know where this guy borrowed his courage. After being provoked by Kingsley, he finally couldn't bear the impulse in his heart and suddenly opened his legs to run forward.
Upon seeing this, Kingsley immediately reached out and grabbed the boy's back collar accurately and pulled him back.
"I thought it was a Slytherin, but it turned out to be a Gryffindor..."
He muttered secretly, then casually brushed away the opponent's backhanded fist, shook his head and said:
"Let's go! Maka has checked your grandpa and temporarily suppressed his curse. It's impossible to cure your grandpa right away. We obviously don't have that time now, but if we just let him As long as it doesn’t get worse, it doesn’t seem to be too difficult for Maka.”
At this point, Gary, who felt that he was being held in his hands, finally seemed to be quiet. Kingsley let go of him, and then finally added:
"So, just follow us back! Don't get in the way here - your grandfather has been sent to the refuge point in Calais, France by someone I sent!"
When Gary heard this, his eyes widened immediately.
"You...are you telling the truth? Grandpa is really saved?"
"Believe it or not!"
Before he finished speaking, Kingsley suddenly reached out and grabbed the annoying boy's wrist again. Then the next moment, with a moment of space fluctuation, the two of them disappeared from the same spot.
Not long after, when there was no one else around the battlefield except Harry, Maka in the enemy group secretly sensed the still huge army of living corpses in front of her and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Sure enough, such a large number of enemies cannot be eliminated in a day or two!"
…
In the end, it seemed that just as Maka had expected, the defensive battle in Spiral Town was inevitable.
But before that, on Hermione's side, who was directing the evacuation of volunteers in Faversham Town, some somewhat anticipated problems finally came to light.
Now, as they saw the huge black outline representing the fog on the other side of the town gradually approaching, pressing like a mountain, some of these volunteers, most of whom were young, began to feel nervous and scared.
"... Don't panic, everyone, there is still a long way to go before the living zombies reach our side! Don't worry about things in the camp. We all use the apparation spell to retreat. The target is the open space outside the ruins of the church at the entrance to Spiral Town!"
It can be said that in fact, the vast majority of people can still remain calm. After all, the volunteers who dare to respond to Hermione's call and run out to take risks basically have a strong heart.
However, with so many people here, it is inevitable that some people will slip up at critical moments.
"ah-"
Suddenly, a scream rang out from the crowd who were apparating away one after another, shocking many people, including Hermione.
There is no doubt that some people became separated due to lack of concentration when using the Apparition Spell.
And just such a scream made the companions who were still barely able to suppress their timidity to cast the spell tighten their heartstrings, and then the same accident occurred.
To be honest, there were not many people involved in accidents, but now it has become a quite fatal incident.
"Don't be anxious! I told you, there is still plenty of time!"
While Hermione shouted this, she hurried to the side of the volunteer who was in a serious condition, and took out the white fresh essence that she always kept on her body to provide emergency treatment to the volunteer.
However, due to the previous transfer of Gary's grandfather, her beaded handbag was temporarily emptied, and later she gave the bag directly to Maka. Now she only carries a very small amount of magic potion with her, and she is afraid that it may not be enough.
"Don't be nervous! I will never leave you alone!"
Hermione looked at several companions who were curled up on the ground and showing pain, and said loudly.
