As a burst of noise started from the east side of the stronghold, another battle began.
In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that since they have come to this scarred land, a battle like this will inevitably become inevitable.
However, war will eventually bleed and kill people.
Whether it is Harry who is very brave with a sharp sword, or Hermione who is sitting in the tower commanding the defense, or even the wizards who are only responsible for guarding the core of the rune array from behind, they all know that the enemy's fangs and claws... are far away from everyone. In fact, it's not that far away.
So to be honest, everyone is very worried in their hearts - the wizards who can come here voluntarily are obviously not people who are afraid of death, but in the final analysis, they are still afraid of death. Because they were afraid that even if they died, their death would be in vain, and they were afraid that with their own strength, they would not even be able to shake this monstrous disaster.
And obviously, Ron, who was silently looking out the window in the living room at the moment, could understand those people who were worried.
He knew that this was actually caused by something called "sense of powerlessness". Or to put it more bluntly, it means "insufficient strength and insufficient ability."
Because they are not strong enough, when the zombie army attacks, only Harry and Mr. Blois are qualified to stand outside the alchemy barrier and face the enemies;
Due to the lack of ability, the defense within the stronghold is still dominated by Hermione's rune array and Sarah's alchemical barrier. The protective spells of other volunteers can only be regarded as icing on the cake when resisting the army of zombies. .
Thinking of this, Ron suddenly shook his head.
That's not the case... If it weren't for the first group of volunteers who came to build the tower in a short period of time and worked together to help Hermione and the others lay out the huge array as quickly as possible, they would have been alone. It was impossible for these people to build this stronghold in time while surrounded by enemies.
And if they can't build a stronghold, it will be okay when the devil comes. But when the army of zombies comes, their team may have to give up their burrow while fighting and retreating.
"So, if you want to gain a firm foothold here, you still need manpower... But in today's situation, where can we find so many like-minded people who are not afraid of death?"
Due to the previous battle with the giant demon, Harry finally had a chance to master the sword of Gryffindor with the help of Delphi. Now the four of them no longer need to always stay near Harry.
So now, when a battle begins, Ron can only stay at the Burrow to guard the core of the rune array. While taking on an important task, I looked at the boiling battlefield from a distance and scratched my head thinking about things.
There was no way, he couldn't let himself stay in the safest place in this stronghold doing nothing with peace of mind - even if the task of guarding the core of the formation was indeed very critical, but like this he could only sit and watch everyone risk their lives fighting outside, this kind of It feels so tortured.
Therefore, he had to find something to do for himself and let these thoughts fill his head so as not to always have guilt and uneasiness lingering in his head.
And just when Ron was thinking about this alone, a figure suddenly ran in from the door.
"Mr. Weasley—"
It was Ida Brandt who had just returned from the east tower. After she entered the door, she looked around a few times, and then walked towards Ron.
"Huh? Where is Mr. Ajinbad going?"
"Um?"
Ron, who was deep in thought, was awakened by Ida's arrival. After a short pause, he pointed outside and said:
"Mr. Akinbad went to the south tower... With the number of zombies this time, the north and south will be attacked sooner or later. Mr. Akinbad also went to help with the defense."
"Oh." Ida nodded immediately after hearing this, and then said, "By the way, Miss Granger asked me to tell you about the situation at the Federation..."
Soon, she told Ron about her previous experiences and knowledge at the Federation headquarters. After telling it from beginning to end, she finally said:
"Because the current president of the Federation is very likely to be Mrs. Maxim - this is Mr. Akinbad's judgment - so Miss Granger wants you to try to contact the Federation first."
"Is it just contact?" Ron couldn't help but ask after hearing this, "Hermione didn't say anything else?"
"Uh, no." Ida thought about it for a moment and said, "She just said that after telling you this, you should know what to do."
When Ron heard this, he couldn't help being stunned.
After being friends for so many years, he certainly knew Hermione. To be honest, it is actually difficult for everyone to hear such unclear words from Hermione's mouth. Usually she will explain clearly what needs to be explained directly.
But this time... Ron tasted a taste called "identification" in this short sentence.
After thinking for a while, he nodded to Ida in front of him and said:
"I see...anything else?"
"No more." Ida shook her head.
"Then go to the room upstairs and take a rest!" Ron pointed upward, "Of course, if you are confident in your own strength, you can also go to the South Tower or North Tower to defend against the living corpses with everyone."
"Oh, I still can't do it." Upon hearing this, Ida waved her hands quickly, "I really don't have the ability - and to be honest, I have already gathered enough energy to follow Mr. Akinbad and your brother here this time. All my courage is gone."
Watching Miss Brandt, who didn't know what she was doing here, hurried up the stairs, Ron scratched his scalp habitually, and then recalled what the other party had just said about the Federation in his head. Been there again.
Then, he nodded clearly.
"It seems that Hermione is planning to ask Madam Maxime for someone."
Regardless of whether this was Hermione's idea or not, at least this was obviously not difficult for Ron to think of. After all, he had just come to the conclusion that he was short of manpower and was worrying about it! Considering that Mrs. Maxim is most likely to have become the new president of the federation, the task of recruiting more volunteers will definitely fall on her.
In any case, gathering manpower to deal with disasters should be the responsibility of the International Federation of Wizards, right
However, as soon as Ron made this decision, he started to have a headache again.
"Speaking of which, this 'external communication' itself is the biggest problem we need to solve at the moment!" He couldn't help but sigh.
