Chapter 2634: bad news

"...Has the third group of choir wizards also landed? I know. Then immediately notify Miss Carolina Viseu and ask her to make preparations for the response. When the choir team is in place, it will be a blast. It's time to take down Lochndorb Castle - the protective magic and concealment spells attached to the castle have not expired, it is a rare stronghold choice, and if you take it, the line of defense will be stable."
In the largest room on the second floor of the temporary command post, Hermione was flipping through the piles of intelligence documents while giving the latest command order to the battlefield liaison officer standing at the table without looking up.
It must be said that she has obviously become accustomed to this kind of work. Although the responsibilities are so heavy that the pressure on her shoulders will certainly not be small, she has done a good job.
This is not difficult to see from the fact that most of the people she gave orders were very cooperative.
"Understood, Miss Granger, then I'll go there." The liaison wizard finally said.
"There's still time, you can rest downstairs for ten minutes before walking... Besides," she said when she said this, "Remember to pay attention to safety when you're on the road."
"thanks, I will."
After the liaison sorcerer responded like this, he turned around and left from the door. Seeing this, Hermione leaned down again and returned her attention to the various new or old intelligence materials on the table.
The news from the front line or the landing port on the east coast is actually not too frequent at present. At least the temporary commander-in-chief office where Hermione is located is obviously far from being busy.
After all, even now, the long-distance message transmission above the disaster area is still a problem with extremely limited solutions.
After a while, Hermione heard footsteps coming from the door again, and it sounded like there were three people.
"Is it the completion of the additional fortifications on the north side? It's hard work, let's take a seat first! I can finish this thing soon..."
There is usually only one liaison person who comes to deliver information and listen to the latest orders, and with the current frequency, the chances of even two liaison officers meeting together are pitifully small, let alone three people appearing here together. So she knew that it was mostly people from Hogsmeade village who came here.
And since the work of adding defenses to the north was almost finished, she blurted out this way without even thinking about it.
This time, however, Hermione guessed wrong.
"Because another enemy missed the fortifications, it was delayed a bit, so it probably won't be completed before dinner tonight. But I didn't come here to report the work, after all, the defense is not under my control... I just brought you an acquaintance here!"
"Professor Lupin? Oh, who did you bring me—"
When Hermione heard this, she raised her head with a smile, but was stunned when she saw John beside him.
"Mr. Stewart?" She was also somewhat surprised.
"Heh, Miss Granger," John, who was caught between Lupin and the strong man Yegor, who was brought here like a prisoner, gave her a wry smile, "we meet again. already."
"Excuse my rudeness, but," Hermione said, "I thought it might take a while before we meet again. I didn't expect... Did something happen on the American side?"
"Oh, I didn't get back to the United States." John still smiled wryly and shook his head again and again, "Actually, I can't even be considered to have walked out of this disaster area."
"What on earth happened?"
Hearing John say that, Hermione realized that things might be serious.
At that time, they separated when there was no more danger. She and Harry and others crossed the channel east to Holland, while John went southeast to the shortest distance to the coastline to leave the cloudy area and Apparated back to America. - That was in the southeastern coastal area of ​​the disaster area, which had been cleaned up by Rebes's comrades so much that they couldn't find even a single enemy. No matter how you thought about it, it was impossible to encounter any trouble.
In fact, Hermione and the others left without incident. How could it be possible that at a time when the furthest distance from her was less than 10 miles, John would have had an accident that would have trapped him in the disaster area until now?
However, when he saw Hermione asking about the specific situation, John turned his head and glanced hesitantly.
It could be seen that Yegor, who had followed him and Lupin all the way here before, was still standing on the side of the door and watching quietly with interest. Seeing John turn back, he also gave him a smile.
"Oh! Is that something I can't listen to? I'm sorry, I'm going out!"
The big man Yegor, who seemed to react after taking a pat, patted the back of his head with a smile, then glanced at John again, and then voluntarily retreated from the door. Before leaving, he closed the door very kindly.
Lupin cast one at will, UU reading www. uukanshu.com then turned around and frowned slightly:
"Most of the Matusievichs have a somewhat inconsistent attitude and often behave inconsistently. You'd better pay more attention."
"Well, I know." Hermione nodded, then turned to look at John again, "Professor Lupin is his own, you don't have to worry. So... can we talk now?"
"Of course," John glanced at Lupin before sorting out his thoughts, "Actually... I met the second team sent by 'Family'."
"In the outskirts of London?" Hermione frowned suddenly.
"Yes," John frowned as well, "and, they all look a little... 'not normal', so I didn't dare to take the initiative to contact them. But they are very sensitive, and I was just about to stay away. I made a plan, but they were still discovered. Fortunately, they seemed to have other things to do at the time, and only sent two people to chase me. They chased me for a long time, but I finally got rid of it. "
"'Not normal'?" Hermione couldn't help asking, "What kind of abnormal law?"
"Well," John heard the words, pondered for a while before hesitating, "should it be... similar to the silent one? No, I think maybe it is a little more like your companion, Miss Geoffrey, but they The kind of black fire fog that can be controlled is far less amazing in both quality and quantity."
"Silently?"
Mentioning the silent one made Hermione recall a lot of not-so-beautiful memory images, which made her already frowning frown even tighter.
"Mr. Stewart," she sighed, "you may have brought us some very bad news!"
