"...Then let's set off. You and Luna...be careful!"
At the northernmost intersection of Hogsmeade Village, Harry, standing at the front, was saying his final goodbyes to Hermione on behalf of the team members who were about to leave for Hogwarts.
After all, even if the rebels started taking control of Bill at Camp Granger, they had been sparing no effort to collect all kinds of intelligence. But up to now, the information about the enemy is still seriously insufficient.
Facing the unknown, whether it is Hermione and Luna who are responsible for infiltrating through the secret passage, or Harry and his party, who are about to break through the obstacles of endless zombies and reach Hogwarts Castle, they all have to risk their lives. !
In fact, in the final analysis, this "Sheep Attack" plan is still to obtain the extremely precious enemy intelligence.
"Hermione, Luna, you must remember..." He finally warned again, "Only take action after you get our signal!"
Even at this moment, Harry still didn't say much.
During this period, while he has experienced various events and become more mature, his attitude towards words is actually much more "stingy" than before.
Maybe, this is the so-called price of growth
"Fortunately, growth does not always have to be equated with pain..." Behind Harry, Maka, who was standing in the team with Neville, Ron and others, looked at his back silently, thinking to herself. road.
"We'll keep an eye on it, and then, good luck to you."
While Maka was muttering to herself, Hermione also gave Harry her last blessing before the action began.
Then, Maka discovered that the two people who had just finished their parting conversation turned their heads and cast a very similar look at him.
Immediately, the two of them looked away.
The look in his eyes was a bit complicated, but with Maka's familiarity with the two of them, he could still decipher some of it. Moreover, Maka could also understand the reason why the two of them would look at her at the last moment before leaving.
Then a gentle smile appeared on Maka's face - although it was only for a moment, and although Hermione and Harry had already moved their eyes elsewhere, he knew that both of them must have seen it out of the corner of their eyes.
"Everyone is ready! Assault team, set off!"
Then, at noon in the gloomy sky when various batches of this army were still landing in the disaster area, and the troops that had arrived were suppressing the wave of zombies in the north across the board, this assault team, which gathered most of the elite combat power, set off.
…
This straight road leading to the old campus has become a veritable road of thorns.
From Hogsmeade Village all the way north to Hogwarts, it was roughly divided into three sections in the past.
The first section is a winding road in the mountains and forests, and the second section is an arc road that goes around the lake. The last section is the straight carriage path that finally leads to the main entrance of the vestibule of Hogwarts Castle.
And this was exactly the road that Hogwarts students who were about to return to school every semester would ride the Thestral carriage with slight bumps after getting off the train.
But this time, it would be impossible for Harry, Maka and the rest of the group to completely walk this road again on their "trip back to school".
First of all, it is impossible to walk on the winding mountain road due to the terrain. Not to mention the zombies on the ground getting denser and denser as you go north. Even if it is just to rush for time and save energy, flying will definitely be the most efficient way. The right choice.
However, even for this first stretch, the breakthrough seemed to be more difficult than expected - the resistance caused by the enemy was greater than expected, which also prevented the progress from being accelerated.
"Boom!"
The huge silver lion patron saint is working hard to clear the way ahead. Its huge body and magical properties that are very effective against living corpses give it a destructive momentum with every move it makes.
But Neville, who was controlling it, looked a little unhappy at this time.
Where countless living corpses gather, they often have a strong influence and interference on magic and spirit. In addition, the team cannot lead the choir deep into the enemy groups, so they can only summon them at the moment before leaving. Neville, the giant patron saint, is also getting further and further away from the Chorus formation as he continues to move forward.
It is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Neville to maintain the stability of the magic spell and perform the task of opening a path in such an environment!
"Uh-"
"Chi, chi, chi!"
The cold sword light went back and forth in mid-air, criss-crossing, and chopped down flying zombies that had wings or were able to resist the pull of gravity by their own abilities.
That is of course Harry Potter riding a broomstick and holding the sword of Gryffindor.
Although with his current strength, the battle so far has been relatively easy, so much so that he hasn't made any serious moves yet.
But every time he swings a sword while flying at high speed, it means that his physical strength will decrease a little. Even if it's not much, if it continues to accumulate like this, it will be a big consumption.
But Harry was Harry, and there was no way he could do it to preserve his own strength and just sit back and watch everyone fight, even if that would actually be more efficient.
Compared with him, his good buddy Ron, who was not far away, was obviously much wiser!
Once upon a time, Ron actually had a temperament similar to Harry's - maybe it's still the same in his bones - but today, this boy obviously puts his reason first much more often than he is reckless and impulsive.
In the current situation where aerial action is obviously more beneficial than ground breakthrough, he knows very well that it is difficult to use his current advantage, so he is basically just flying forward silently with the team. Only when he sees an opportunity occasionally, will he use the ultra-low temperature arc condensed by the arm shield to freeze one or two fish that have slipped through the net and knock them down to the ground.
The restrained power of the first-level rules is far less effective than Harry's Gryffindor sword in fighting against the enemies in front of him. Unless he is willing to lift the restrictions and consume all his energy and magic power at once, it is better to install it first. Share some points!
"boom!"
Suddenly, among the large number of flying zombies that were rushing towards this direction slightly far ahead, a large number of individuals stopped for a moment. Then, they seemed to explode suddenly, turning into blooming dark red flowers in the air.
During this period of time on the road, everyone in the team has become accustomed to it and knows that this is Maka's doing.
It is said that this terrifying group attack magic with a large range, astonishing power, and seemingly no warning is actually an improvement of the Divine Edge Shadowless Curse invented by Professor Snape.
"I don't know if this 'mass explosion version' of the Divine Edge Shadowless Curse has a counter-curse."
Ron, who was somewhat idle for the time being, was riding on his broomstick, looking at the spectacular scene full of blood in front of him, and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.
Then, after finally clearing the way forward, the sky was filled with more enemies gathered.
