When Maka finally walked up to Hermione, more than ten minutes had passed since everyone came in one after another, but no one was obviously impatient about it.
Even Harry, who had insisted on not paying much attention to him from the beginning, was just like the first time, twisting his neck and staring at the decorative tapestry in the corner of the tent.
It's as if you can see some unknown magical secret from the weaving pattern on it.
"Hermione."
Maka looked at the girl who was tough because she wanted to be strong and became stronger because of her toughness. After a pause, she called her softly.
Maybe it was to tell herself and everyone that she had completely made up her mind to "do something big"! Before she came here, she seemed to have slightly trimmed and combed her unkempt brown hair, which was growing a little longer, and also used a hairpin to gather part of it behind her head.
This made her look even more sassy and capable.
"Um."
Looking at Maka, who was standing in front of her, she responded slightly, her tone was hard, with a strength that perhaps even she herself was not aware of.
It seems that after truly building up her confidence, her previous experience of leading the team in the disaster area on the other side of the river, coupled with her recent daily work of almost commanding the overall situation, has gradually transformed the strong woman in her who is quite similar to Professor McGonagall. The popularity aura was stimulated.
This little discovery flashed through Maka's mind. He smiled slightly, then raised his hand to make gestures above the other person's head and his own.
"Obviously the food hasn't been that good lately, but you look like you're about to be as tall as me again?"
As Maka said, probably because girls generally develop earlier than boys, Hermione was actually taller than Maka for a long time.
After all, as a boy, Maka is actually not too tall - like Neville, who was once short and chubby, he didn't expect to become the tallest one among his friends!
However, now, Maka, who had finally surpassed Hermione at some point earlier, found that the other party seemed to be catching up with her again.
At least when standing face to face like this, both parties only have to look at each other.
"It's not that I grow up fast, it's just that you are short."
After saying these words, Hermione straightened her collar, then took out a door key from the bag she had always carried, and said loudly at a volume that everyone in the tent could hear:
"Are you done? Then... it's time for us to set off."
…
Outside the central tent, which Maka had recently used as a temporary personal residence, a large number of figures had gathered in the open space...or other figures that were not "figures". In terms of number alone, there were far more people than the people who had just entered the camp.
In fact, this is only a small part of the magic army that will participate in this counterattack and rush to the other side.
But it must be said that those who can queue up and wait here are undoubtedly the elites of this operation.
In addition to the coalition leaders headed by the three major families, there are also a group of leading wizards from the recently reorganized resistance alliance.
The latter is composed of volunteer representatives from various alliance forces and is a multi-racial main force that belongs directly to Hermione.
Yes, this main force includes not only human wizards, but also many magical creatures of other races. For example, the centaurs, fishmen and other races were invited by the professors at Hogwarts, and the intelligent zombies were just invited by Hermione.
Of course, a large group of wild elves who have a close relationship with Maka and can only be mobilized by Maka also come from the island to provide "all-out help."
It is said that Maxim originally wanted to call the dementors from Azkaban, but Hermione, who had already learned some of the inside story, vetoed it - those guys were said to be the former Halberds. Made with one hand! Although the real master has been captured by Maka in one fell swoop, who knows what will happen after going to the other side
It would be better to nip such a lucky act that might be self-defeating in the cradle in advance.
But even so, when a small but top-notch group of young wizards in the camp, led by Maka, Harry and others, also came to this open space, the power gathered by this plan The momentum is already stronger than ever before.
And it’s powerful enough to be seen with the naked eye!
But today, under Maka's deliberate shaping, it is obvious that he no longer needs to do many things.
They saw everyone standing in front of the tent door. Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Hermione took a step forward without hesitation and walked to the front of the crowd where Maka was.
However, she didn't stand too far forward. After taking a step, she turned slightly and glanced at Harry, who was not far behind.
The next moment, Harry, who received Hermione's signal, immediately walked out of the crowd and stood in front of her. And there, it was almost the center where all the people in the open space were surrounding.
Maka, who was standing just behind Hermione, naturally saw this scene very clearly, including Hermione's eyes and Harry's movements, everything was reflected in his eyes.
After just a moment's thought, he understood Hermione's intention.
Putting Harry in a more central position than her is of course because of the fighting strength that Harry now possesses.
When it comes to the ability to fight head-on, aside from Maka, who has always maintained a certain degree of mystery, Harry is definitely the number one among all the magical beings present, or non-human beings.
And in this upcoming counterattack, what is the most important thing? Of course, it is the high-end combat power that our side has been so lacking in the past -
As the leader, Hermione is undoubtedly the best way to boost morale by letting Harry, who is brave, determined and possessing strength, stand out in front of others.
Sure enough, Harry walked into the middle of everyone and suddenly raised the Gryffindor sword in his hand. The shining sword reflected a dazzling light in the morning sun.
Then he shouted.
"Let us cut off the evil, end this unreasonable disaster, and restore peace to the world!" He shouted loudly, "Fight for survival, for victory... Let's go!"
"Set off-"
A chorus of loud voices suddenly rose into the sky, echoing throughout the entire camp.
