Maka was obviously not the only one in the team who could sense that the high-level zombies had demonic tendencies.
Even if they can't turn the observed signs into conclusions and express them clearly like him, partners like Harry and Safina who have gradually mastered one of the branches of soul rules are actually enough to compete with the newly arrived high-level people. Some strange traces were detected in the confrontation between the living corpses.
It is precisely because of this that when Safina, who was passing by by chance, heard Maka's judgment, what she showed was not surprise, but more of a sudden heaviness.
She is also one of the very few people who has ever fought a demon head-on. She knows very well how difficult it is to deal with those black monsters that are so "hard" and have amazing killing capabilities!
"At least this proves that Hermione's temporary changes to the counterattack plan are indeed correct, doesn't it?"
Although the voice of Safina's muttering to herself was very low, it still seemed to be captured by Maka's ears.
"Anyway," Maka, who was talking to Sarah, suddenly turned to look at her and smiled, "we really need to speed up! The current situation is that the slower we move, the higher the speed will be. The strength of the living zombies will be stronger. What if we arrive at Hogwarts Castle and find that the zombies there have 'just' turned into hordes of demons... Whether it is us or Luna Both Hermione and Hermione may be forced into the biggest crisis in their lives... "
"what are you guys saying?"
Suddenly, Harry's voice sounded from behind.
Although there was still a hint of unconscious alienation in his tone, judging from the fact that he was willing to take the initiative to talk, it was much better than the previous indifferent situation.
"We are talking about the fact that 'sin' is gathering in front, and the high-level zombies have begun to show signs of demonization... I think you must have noticed it, right?"
Maka turned around and gave Harry, who had briefly approached him, a smile that was once very familiar to him.
But Harry still didn't say anything to him. He just muttered to himself, "Does it really smell of devil?" and then retreated to the end of the line.
The battle is still going on, and even if something is discovered that people have to be concerned about, it is not the time to spend too much time talking and discussing.
After that, Maka didn't say anything else. Like everyone else, she focused as much attention as possible on the battle moving forward.
And it must be said that when Maka no longer strives for steady progress, but devotes more of her thoughts and energy that were originally allocated to taking into account the safety of the entire team to "speeding up progress", the effect is particularly outstanding. of.
The lake, which was no longer far away, soon became very close!
…
"I wonder where they... are now?"
In front of Ariana's portrait, someone unknown moved a few small round wooden tables that had just been restored from the ruins. At this moment, many people were sitting or standing around, and the expressions on everyone's faces looked uncomfortable.
The person who just spoke was Miss Geofine, or to be more precise, Ursula, one of the Geofine sisters, who is Safina's sister.
Speaking of which, Safina had no intention of getting involved anymore this time.
After all, she had been tirelessly fighting life and death for a long time in this disaster area, and she felt that it was enough to repay the kindness Maka had given to their sisters. For her personal feeling, "that deal" can be considered completely completed.
It's just that compared to her sister who is more self-centered in her behavior, her sister Ursula, who was finally reunited a few days ago, is obviously softer in heart and has a far-reaching vision - after all, she is also a prophet with blood. A witch, which is not surprising at all.
Therefore, Ursula, who knew that this disaster would almost certainly fall on everyone if she was not careful, personally brought Safina back to the forefront of this harsh battlefield. Even in order to make her sister go all out, she followed the team all the way to Hogsmeade despite the opponent's strong objections.
So for Ursula, it can be said that everyone here treats Ursula with a feeling of admiration, so that when they heard her whispering to herself softly and slightly showing concern for her sister, everyone couldn't help but speak out. Comforted.
"Didn't Harry say that before we set off? In terms of efficiency in dealing with enemies, even he admits that he can't compare to your sister, and they also have Maka following them. Even if the operation fails, I think at least There will be no problem in coming back!" Lu Ping put down the cold teacup in his hand and said to Ursula.
Not far away, Sirius, who was standing with his back against the wall, also nodded and said: "As Remus said, the overall strength of the assault team is no problem. They are already the strongest members we can send. The lineup will be fine. As for where they are now... "
With that said, he turned his head and glanced at the sand table map, but he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
To be honest, although everyone is indeed very confident in the strength of the assault team, when it comes to the specific progress of Harry's trip so far... that is probably not something anyone can say.
Because this time, the two most reliable "ultra-long-distance scouts" Neville and Sarah had already gone with the team. The remaining methods are almost useless in the "hardest hit area" in the north where cloud disturbance is getting more and more serious.
The only thing everyone can expect is for Sarah on the other side of the team to make active contact through the alchemy doll left here, and that will probably come after the sheep attack plan succeeds... or completely fails. .
Therefore, in front of the entrance of the secret passage where a large group of people gathered, Hermione could not be seen at this time - she had gone to command the subsequent landing troops after Harry and others set off. At least before the infiltration operation begins, the army's overall counterattack against the enemy must not stop!
"Um?"
Lu Ping, who was about to say something more, seemed to hear something at this moment. He suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the door, frowned slightly and said:
"What happened outside?"
"It seems like someone has come," said Sirius, who had already rushed to the door and looked out the window. "Wait, that's -" (To be continued)
