"Arrogance" eventually left.
Maybe it feels that since the humans have run away, it has no reason to get entangled with these inhuman guys in front of it. Although the specific reason is not clear yet, the target that the devil wants to eliminate seems to be just Just human beings.
As for the battle with these high-level zombies, it was purely forced by the latter.
So when Sarah saw that the direction it chose was the north, not the southeast side where Hermione and the others retreated. She thought for a moment and simply reopened the alchemy barrier without further obstruction.
"It's gone."
Sarah looked at the long-haired girl among the twin living corpses, helped the slightly injured short-haired boy to the side and sat down for a while to rest, and then whispered softly.
"Yeah?"
It was obvious that the twins didn't seem to want to talk to her. But if Sarah hadn't stepped in to help just now, the demon "Arrogance" probably wouldn't have retreated so quickly, and it was even very possible that both of them would have been destroyed by that guy.
The gap between demons and living corpses is still a bit big after all.
"Anyway... thank you. The master said that you should say 'thank you' when you receive help."
Even though there was no gratitude in her tone, the long-haired girl still said this. When Sara heard this, she couldn’t help but raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Did you just say - 'Master'?" She then asked.
However, this time, the other party did not respond again, as if the "thank you" just now was just a routine, nothing more.
Moreover, it seems to have other more important things to do.
Right now, the stronghold was actually overcrowded by the influx of living corpses. If not for the fact that both sides of the battle had made them instinctively afraid to approach, there would have been this small open space.
At this moment, after helping her brother aside and sitting down, Sarah saw the long-haired girl suddenly take out a roll of parchment from her arms, and then suddenly unfolded it.
At that moment, even Sarah could feel it, as if a strange soul wave suddenly spread and swept away from the parchment.
In an instant, the originally noisy army of zombies all fell silent and lowered their heads towards the parchment.
Immediately, Sarah saw the living corpse of the girl holding the parchment high.
It didn't open its mouth to speak, but Sarah knew that Ta must have said something - some kind of communication with the living corpses in front of her in some way that she "couldn't hear".
After a moment, the girl rolled up the parchment again and pointed her index finger towards the east. Immediately, the entire army of zombies turned around one after another, and began to walk back in clusters in the direction she pointed.
Seeing the living corpse of the girl, she turned back and walked towards the short-haired boy, seemingly wanting to help him up and leave together. Sarah, who was quietly watching all this unfold, finally spoke again.
"You came here to fight the devil to the death, just to rescue these companions controlled by it from it?"
Now, the answers to some questions have become very clear - even Sarah's words are not considered questions, and she also feels that the other party will not answer, so it is more like talking to herself. language.
That’s right! A total of five high-level zombies came here for this army of zombies controlled by the will of "arrogance".
So it seems that demons and living corpses are not a team at all!
This may be a very important discovery, and Sarah is ready to tell Hermione and the others this information that is worth using.
However, Sarah did not expect that when the short-haired boy in the twins heard her words, he couldn't help but glance at her and retorted:
"'Saving companions'? Humph... We are just here to take back the 'things' that belong to the master for the master."
"Shut up! The master didn't let us talk to others."
The girl's zombie kicked it, then turned to look at Sarah. Then they didn't speak again and silently followed the army of zombies away slowly.
Sarah tilted her head, watching their backs gradually blending into the group of living corpses, with a somewhat subtle expression on their faces. She stood in the middle of her group of alchemy dolls, thinking to herself for a while, then shook her head, turned around and left towards the southeast retreat route that Hermione had decided in advance.
…
The stronghold was breached, the wizard resistance retreated, the living zombies fought with demons, and Sarah obtained new information—this series of developments seemed to be connected by an invisible thread, making the future direction a little unclear. There are twists and turns, but there are unexpected near misses.
However, even a wise person like Rowena Ravenclaw will make miscalculations sometimes. Some accidents, really just accidents, can inadvertently cause many variables in the future.
For example, Ron now.
Before the protective barrier was breached by "Arrogance", he had already hid in the small tent and did not dare to come out from the beginning to the end.
And inside, listening to the chaotic sounds outside getting more and more chaotic, all he could do was wait.
During this period, it was not that Ron had never thought about going out, but it was just that he had already had difficulty moving. Even if he went out, it would probably only cause trouble for Hermione and the others who should be retreating as planned. Instead of doing this, it would be better to just huddle in the tent and resign yourself to fate.
"If I had known better, I should have gotten a bottle of blessing elixir and put it on me."
While he was thinking this in a daze, he continued to prick himself with the dagger from time to time, but the refreshing effect of the pain was getting worse and worse.
"Ah... It seems like I hit a bone."
This was the last thought that ran through Ron's mind before he fell asleep.
He didn't know how long it had been, but even in a coma, his dreams were chaotic and uneasy. Sometimes he would see himself stabbing Hermione's throat with a dagger, and sometimes he would see blood pouring out of Ginny's chest. Then the scene would suddenly change, and Harry would slash himself with Gryffindor's sword. Became two halves.
However, he didn't seem to be afraid in his heart. He was just very sad, but he shed tears and felt a little relieved.
Finally, Ron finally woke up - he hurriedly raised his upper body and looked around, and found that he was still lying in the tent, and then he fell back to the ground covered with thick carpets.
"It's so useless! Even dreaming is nothing but weakness."
It seemed to be very quiet outside the tent. Did Hermione and the others leave? Have the army of zombies and demons also left
Why are you still alive
