Delphi thought that this time Hermione might have to use the rune array to replace Sarah's alchemical barrier from the beginning. But she didn't expect that Sarah's ability...at least her mental strength could actually confront "Arrogance" head-on.
As the black flames exploded on the barrier one after another, Delphi asked himself that if it were him, he might not be able to sustain it for long. However, only circles of ripples could be seen on the light green alchemy barrier, but there was no sign of breaking. I am afraid that it can continue to block these living corpses at the outermost periphery.
However, there will definitely be more zombies attacking that thin barrier. Judging from the current situation, Sarah will not be able to sustain it forever. In order to live up to her efforts, and at the same time to reduce the pressure on her and maintain this alchemical barrier longer, Delphi's attack speed suddenly became faster!
And at the same time, on the other side.
Hermione, who was closely watching the battle below from the tower, seemed to be weighing a certain opportunity in her heart as she watched the impact ripples spreading and overlapping on the barrier in front of her.
So far, the wizards guarding the boundary line of the barrier below have actually begun to fight back against the invading living corpses under her instructions. A large amount of magical light was constantly flashing, passing through the alchemical barrier from the inside without any obstacles, and falling on the enemies that were missed by Delphi, Harry and Blois.
Most of these volunteers were not ordinary wizards in the past. At least they had held combat and defense positions in their respective families and forces. Although almost all of them are not top-notch, at least they are people with some practical experience.
Now facing the living corpses, since there is a layer of barrier in front of them that is at least very solid for now, they can more or less calmly display their full strength and gradually make gains.
Of course, as far as their own abilities are concerned, they are limited to this.
However, although Hermione also saw that their attacks had little effect on the living corpses, she did not immediately reveal all the preparations she had made during this period.
Obviously, she felt that it was not yet time to actually launch a counterattack against the zombies - the army of zombies was very long, and as of now, most of them are still on the road!
"Please go to the Burrow again... Ms. Hohenheim should be in the attic now. Please remind her that there is no need to hold on too much just yet. If you can't hold on any longer, give it to Jin below. Ni and the others give a signal, and then the barrier can be lifted depending on the situation."
After saying this to the wizard behind her who was responsible for delivering the message, and watching the wizard nod and leave in a hurry, Hermione turned her sights outside the lookout again.
I saw her walking gently to the window and putting her hand on the window sill. The wall tiles, which had been built in a hurry without any polishing or decoration, had a rough touch, which reminded her of Hogwarts Castle... and the magic tower on the island in the sea.
Yes, in fact, the inspiration for the construction of several towers here at the stronghold came from the wizard tower on Rowena Island. Although they are completely different in design, these towers also have regular magic.
Or rather, they have already become part of the rune array that Hermione has arranged in the stronghold.
However, the magic on the tower is different from the magic spells used by the wizards on the defense line below. If you want to activate them to attack the enemies outside, it will inevitably have an impact on Sarah's alchemical barrier.
To put it simply, it is "impenetrable" and must wait until the barrier is breached or actively lifted before it can function normally.
Obviously, this timing is not so easy to grasp - so Hermione gave this task to Sarah. When she needs to remove the barrier, the official counterattack will begin.
However, it may be very difficult for Sarah, who is currently using an alchemical barrier to resist the attack of zombies, but like Hermione, it is also a kind of torture to watch those zombies repeatedly rushing to the barrier to launch self-destructive attacks. .
If I had to make a comparison, it was actually much easier to be like Harry outside, just holding a sharp sword and dashing left and right among more and more living corpses.
…
Let's not talk about how hard Harry and the others fought, but as long as the demon "Arrogance" standing behind the zombie army refused to show up, it was destined that this offensive and defensive battle would not end in a short time.
Therefore, after learning about the changes at the International Federation of Wizards, Hermione immediately asked Ida Brandt to inform Ron and remind him to find a way to contact Madame Maxime. But if you think about it simply, you can see that if this battle cannot be ended in one day, Ron will have no way to communicate with the outside world.
However, neither Ron nor Hermione expected that they would not be able to contact Maxim for the time being, but Maxim was already preparing to contact them.
As for the inducement that made her want to do this... it was just a personal letter whose origin and signature surprised her.
At this moment, in the president's office of the federation headquarters, Maxim, who had already sat on this seat that she had never even considered, had an opened letter in front of her.
Just as Akinbad had expected, after he, Luna and Ida left that day, Maxim firmly seized this opportunity. She took advantage of the fact that the ambitious head of the Brandt family died on the spot and the trial meeting was in a mess, but no one dared to reach out to take over the mess, so she pulled the new president's seat under her butt.
But of course, this seat is not that easy to sit in - otherwise among the many people present, there are actually not many wizards who are qualified to compete, so why don't any of them say anything? Even when she started to clean up the mess, there was almost no difference in her voice.
And now, here comes the headache.
"…Minerva McGonagall."
Looking at the signature written directly on the envelope, Mrs. Maxim pursed her lips. She had actually read the content of the letter just now, but... it was really not easy for her to handle!
"It wasn't well hidden before... why did it suddenly come out at this time?" Mrs. Maxim sighed, "And it happened to be a personal letter."
