Harry walked back on his feet, holding the Sword of Gryffindor tightly in his right hand and holding his broomstick and Firebolt in his left hand.
Judging from his slightly limping appearance when he appeared in everyone's field of vision, this investigation operation obviously did not go as smoothly as Neville's.
"Hermione," seeing his friend by the campfire, Harry turned his sword upside down and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with the hilt of the sword, frowning slightly and said, "There is a guy in the mountains who has similar abilities to you. It allows me to I fell down in the air - I originally wanted to get to Hogsmeade as early as possible to check the situation, but there were a lot of troublesome enemies gathered there, so I came back first after killing those guys who took the initiative to chase me. ”
"The rules of gravity...?" Hermione paused, then nodded to him and said, "The right choice. After all, you and Neville are just conducting reconnaissance this time. There is no need to fight alone at the front."
After saying this, she asked Harry to take a good rest on the spot and treat his injuries.
At this time, the vanguard force led by Samuel Rossi had actually joined them for a long time.
The first batch to penetrate into this disaster area are undoubtedly elites with above-average combat abilities. At least half of these members are armored wizards from the Matusievich family, and the remaining half, in addition to the strong ones among ordinary wizards, also have some non-human warriors of various races.
The group of intelligent zombies introduced to humans by Hermione were among them.
Of course, there are only a few people who can truly accept them without any grudges. Although no one was too obviously repulsive for the time being because there was a common big goal pressing on their heads, Maka could still see at this moment that many people in the team were not willing to get too close to that group of appearances. "Weird friends" who are full of threats.
Just over the dozen other campfires that had just been set up, only the dozen or so intelligent zombies occupied a place alone. Compared with other campfires that were crowded and tightly surrounded, their camping spot seemed somewhat empty.
…
"Maka, Hermione asked you to come together to discuss..."
When Luna came from the original camp to find Maka, it had actually been a while since Harry returned.
And of course he knew that during the few moments when Harry was resting on the spot, receiving treatment, and eating something, the girl, who was very independent and increasingly mature, and everyone else including Harry, What was discussed.
In fact, he even heard some whispers from Hermione trying to persuade Harry to re-accept the person he was today - unfortunately, the results seemed to be little.
"Well, let's discuss it again."
Maka stood up from a dead tree on her knees, patted her dusty robe, and followed Luna's brisk pace as she turned around and walked back.
I have to say that for Hermione, a close friend who has always been trustworthy and even dependent on each other, even a stubborn person like Harry can listen to a lot of advice. But maybe it's because Maka's good performance since she woke up from the ice coffin is really hard to find fault with.
In short, this time when he had to face Maka, his former friend, at close range, Harry, who had never given him a good look... At least he no longer treated him coldly like he did at first. This is a good thing after all. The beginning of it!
"Although you have passed the level of Hermione, it is still impossible for me to let down all my vigilance towards you! Maka, if you are really Maka, I think you should understand me. You've always been this kind of person... I'm sorry! But don't let me find out that you have any, any connection with 'that guy' that we don't know about."
When Harry stood up and walked towards her under the awkward pull of Hermione, and said these words, Maka knew that just as the other party said, he was still the one who was always emotional. , a straightforward young man who is stubborn but straightforward.
Oh no, the current "Mr. Savior" is just like Maka, a great young man with increasingly thick hair on his cheeks!
So, when Harry reached out his hand to her, Maka also reached out to hold it tightly, and patted him on the shoulder out of habit.
Although it was only for a moment, the other party let go of his hand and sat back down at the original place, never looking over again. But Maka could still feel that the relationship between the two was indeed much more relaxed than before.
"Maka."
Seeing Hermione, who came to him a step later than Harry, looking at him, Macadamian smiled at her, leaned forward slightly and said softly: "Thank you."
"It's nothing," Hermione whispered, "We... are supposed to be like this, aren't we?"
"Yes!" Maka sighed silently, paused briefly, and then straightened up again and said, "I have heard about the situation in Hogsmeade, but obviously, for us, it is just It’s just a starting point—that’s the real beginning of our operation.”
"Well," Hermione nodded, "so..."
"Just say it." Seeing that she seemed to have any concerns, Maka immediately raised her hand and said, "You are the leader of this time and the supreme commander of the plan. No matter what the order is, everyone will carry it out well. —Including myself.”
For Hermione, there was probably nothing more encouraging than speaking these words from his mouth.
"So," Hermione said immediately, "the task of opening a passage to Hogsmeade Village will be left to vanguard officer Samuel Rossi and the vanguard force led by him! The first part of the counterattack force is expected to Arrive in three hours. At that time, the battle to retake Hogsmeade Village will officially begin using this passage route... Mr. Rossi, are you confident that you can complete this task within three hours?"
"no problem."
Samuel, who was sitting with his grandfather on the side, was still dressed in a "priest" style, but next to his elders, his lazy temperament was no longer there, and he looked full of energy. . Seeing Hermione entrusting him with this first task, he had already been mentally prepared for taking on the first vanguard duty, so he immediately agreed.
"Don't worry," Hermione added, "Mr. Weasley and Rebes will go with you - seize this opportunity to fight the enemy, and your adaptation will also be the key to the entire counterattack." The beginning of the army’s adaptation.”
