"Boom -"
The explosion still sounded one after another from the outside. The protective barrier shrouding the stronghold is like a overturned salad bowl, which is shaking frequently with the explosion and scattering a little silver.
Many male and female wizards in the stronghold are hurrying around. Although they are worried, they don't have much fear on their faces. They are still doing what they should do in an orderly manner.
At the beginning, they all stepped into this place of disaster with their own will. It can be said that everyone has been ready to die for struggling and resisting.
It must be said that they are the real warriors in the European magic world. Although their strength is not enough, none of them is willing to retreat.
Because they know in their hearts that when the disaster is out of control, someone must stand up.
"Eh?"
Suddenly, one of them waved a magic wand and took a box of emergency potions. The witch hurried by in front of the burrow and subconsciously raised her head.
After a little stunned, she couldn't help looking at the sky and said to herself in surprise:
"The barrier... Seems to be stabilizing again?"
As it was just now, Hermione had given the latest instructions. According to the plan, once the second protective barrier is broken, Sarah will reopen her alchemy barrier to block the enemy group. At the same time, Safina, Harry, Mr. brova, and even Hermione herself will try their best to meet the incoming enemy and completely start the withdrawal process.
It is said that Hermione has some follow-up measures after that, but it has nothing to do with their volunteers, so I didn't tell them in detail.
However, no matter what else Hermione has left behind, the breaking of this barrier must mean that the "nail plan" has failed. This is something that all those who hope to successfully resist the disaster do not want to see.
Therefore, when the witch found that the barrier protecting the stronghold had stabilized under the high-intensity attack of the corpse army, she even had an excited smile on her face.
However, the things that should be done will not change until the new instructions come down. The witch only paused and soon continued to run forward with the box, but the pace seemed to be much lighter.
Shortly before and after she left the burrow door, under the stairs of the burrow living room, the trap door suddenly moved, and then was suddenly pushed open by one hand.
"Patter."
The trap door turned over and leaned diagonally against the back of the stairs. Following closely, I saw two figures climbing out from below one after the other.
Obviously, this is Ginny and Hannah who are responsible for maintaining the core of the array in the basement. At present, it can be found that the two people who just came up from below were flushed, panting, sweating on their foreheads, and even the tips of their hair were stuck to their cheeks.
At this moment, the protective barrier returned to stability, which is naturally the credit of the two of them. However, although the temporary change of formation was successful, they were very tired for a time.
"Hoo... The air above is much fresher..."
Hannah took two deep breaths on her knees and couldn't help sighing. But just then, she heard Ginny suddenly say:
"Where's Ron? Isn't his job to stay in the living room and guard the entrance to the basement? Where's he?"
When Hannah heard the speech, she straightened up, raised her head, and walked two steps with Ginny looking around.
"Will there be other tasks? You know, there is obviously an emergency outside, otherwise we don't need to start filing -"
"No!" Ginny shook her head flatly. "You know how important the core of the rune array is... In fact, if it weren't for the estimation that the external combat power might not be enough, Hermione had planned to let Harry stay here. What's more, Ron..."
Although some words are obviously bad, it's true that Ron's combat ability is insufficient. At present, even if more people are needed outside to help, they won't have to hand over Ron, too?
Ginny shook her head again and swallowed what might be unfair to Ron - in fact, as a sister, Ginny was more worried.
"... I hope he's okay."
After a quick search in the living room, she found that Ron was really not there. Ginny and Hannah hurried out of the burrow and went straight to the East Tower.
……
In case it is necessary to use the temporary array change, Hannah and Ginny must no longer stay in the basement.
Because of the instability of the double magic conversion, the core of the array may have problems at any time, and it is likely to collapse at this time. Although the core is arranged in the basement, even if the core part collapses, the impact above the ground will be minimized, it is still very dangerous to stay in the basement.
So Hermione and Ginny agreed that when they came out, they could go to the East Tower with Ron in the living room to meet themselves.
However, Hermione did not expect that when the rune barrier was shaken by the self explosion of the corpse, Ron was the only one who hurried here.
"He... He... Hermione..."
Ron seemed to run all the way from the burrow. When he appeared in front of Hermione, he seemed to be paralyzed. He was holding the wall post, panting and calling Hermione intermittently.
"Ron?" Hermione looked at his half dead appearance, looked behind him, and then frowned. "Why are you alone? Ginny and Hannah?"
"Ginny... And... Hannah... Hoo..." Ron gasped, unable to speak clearly. "They -"
"Hey... Anyway, you should breathe well first."
Although worried about Ginny and Hannah, the stronghold is under high-intensity attack, and there are more than one or two people at risk. Seeing that someone came to report the war in other directions, Hermione could only wave at Ron, and then hurried to turn around and continue to give orders.
"Now that Miss Geoffrey has left the defense line in the south, there will certainly be a more serious blow... Let the South Tower open all the gravity traps I arranged, and how long it can last..."
Hermione was explaining the solution very quickly and asked the messenger to deliver the notice immediately, but the next moment, she heard a guard standing by the wall suddenly shout:
"Miss Granger, be careful -"
In fact, at the same time that the guard shouted, Hermione caught a glimpse of a cold silver light in the corners of her eyes. When she followed the cold light and turned back, she found that the source was a silver dagger held upside down in Ron's hand.
At that moment, Ron's eyes turned into two deep black.
