A night sometimes feels very long, but sometimes it seems surprisingly short. But whether it is short or long, it is enough for a lot of things to happen.
For example, on the night after Hermione invited guests to dinner at Buckingham Palace in London, the zombie girl, one of the twins, did not leave the palace immediately, but went to the entrance of the main palace again to pay for the people who were guarding there. My brother brought some delicious desserts.
Maybe she could taste more delicacies at the dinner, but if she could sit side by side with her brother on the cold steps at the entrance of the temple and gnaw on a few butter cookies, it seemed to be the happiest period for her. time.
This night, the living corpse siblings seemed to be having a very pleasant time.
And this same night, also in this palace, was probably not that wonderful for Ginny who did not attend the dinner.
Harry was still awake all night in the bed, and Ginny by the window was naturally awake almost all night. Just looking at her boyfriend's haggard face with his eyes closed, even though Sarah and the others brought a lot of desserts to eat in advance, she only managed to eat a little at the beginning, and soon lost her appetite.
So for Ginny, this night was undoubtedly a difficult and long one.
But no matter what, at least there is still no fighting or chaos in London tonight. Compared with them, the Netherlands and Germany, which are separated by a sea, are really not that easy.
Let's not mention here the Blois family father and daughter who have withdrawn from the southern Netherlands to the camp in northern Belgium. Let us return our attention to the real second battlefield today - the northwest German front.
The German Brandt family's battle against the invasion of living zombies is still going on with difficulty. The fire dragon army raised by the Brandt family is actually performing quite well. So far, with the assistance of the wizard coalition called by Mrs. Maxim, they have at least maintained the front line near the western and northern borders of Germany, preventing the zombie army from quickly breaking through.
However, there is always a price to pay for such a stubborn defense, and on the battlefield, the "price" that any party needs to pay is often a living life.
The life of a wizard is life, and the life of humanoid magical creatures like goblins, werewolves, vampires, etc. is also life, and the main combat forces such as fire dragons are even more important than human lives on the battlefield!
In the mountains closest to the front line, there were not only countless corpses of ordinary low-level living corpses, but also many corpses of fire dragons had fallen everywhere.
In addition to the dead, there are obviously more individuals who are injured and can no longer support flight. Although there are few flying zombies that can match the adult fire dragons, if there are more of them, they will still cause harm to the fire dragon army. Not a small amount of damage.
In addition, the actual large-scale battle is obviously beyond the capabilities of the Brandt family's dragon trainers through daily training. It has to be said that the fire dragons fighting on the front line are already in a bit of chaos.
And that's not the scariest thing.
"President Maxim, the Brandt family has sent an urgent request for help—Germany's western defense line of Duisburg has been lost!"
Madame Maxime, who returned to the federation headquarters building from the Blois family camp this evening, began to process the accumulated documents after dinner, and it was not until midnight that she prepared to take a rest before continuing to work.
But before she could leave her desk, an urgent message coming directly from the front line of the German border battlefield completely disrupted her next arrangements.
"'Three more powerful zombies'?"
Maxim looked at the information that the secretary hurriedly sent to her. It contained some concise descriptions and a blurry magic photo. It can be seen that this document was not only written in a hurry, but it must have been quite difficult to collect the frontline information... Although it is not mentioned in the document, the person who took the photo is probably dead, because the photo was obviously fixed at the end. On top of a figure approaching rapidly, although the overall shot is blurry, it looks very impactful.
"On a normal day, this photo would have made the front page headlines, and maybe even won an award in the annual photojournalism competition!"
The third secretary who was standing in front of his desk at this moment couldn't help but look at the photo again and sighed.
"Don't be sarcastic, this is a human life!"
Maxim frowned very seriously. Even though she was so tall, her expression was very oppressive. The secretary did not dare to say anything at that time.
After Mrs. Maxim stared at the document for a few more seconds, she slapped the scrawled document on the table and immediately said loudly:
"First, let the reserve troops stationed at the rear of the battlefield move to the front line to meet the Brandt family's team retreating from the front line, and help them maintain the defense line as much as possible. In addition, now let someone draft a letter and deliver it to the current and The major forces we are in contact with... the war situation has changed, and we need more support!"
"yes!"
After hearing what Maxim said, the secretary saw that she seemed to have no more instructions, so he hurriedly bowed and left the office to do some work.
Mrs. Maxim, who was still here, just stood behind the desk and continued to ponder for a while. Then she suddenly picked up the wand on the desk and struck a bell on the side.
"jingle-"
The sweet silver bell rang leisurely, and not long after, the office door was reopened, and the first secretary who had followed her out before appeared again in front of Mrs. Maxim.
Maxim didn't talk any more nonsense, he just raised the urgent document on the table and said:
"You should have seen this. To be honest, I feel something is not good. I just thought about it carefully and thought that in order to solve this matter, the most appropriate way at present is to go to the northern border of Belgium. T-we need help from the Blois family."
At this point, she paused for a moment, and then she couldn't help but corrected:
"To be precise, it should be 'We need the owner of the Blois family to personally help'... Although I am not sure now whether he is willing to help!"
"… Um."
Although the first secretary witch didn't know much about the enemy in the magic photo, she could roughly understand the so-called "more powerful enemy" just by knowing that even the Fire Dragon Legion had to retreat and abandon the Duisburg area. How scary is "living corpse"
After hesitating for a moment, she finally nodded.
"I understand... Madam, I'm going to visit the head of the Blois family again."
