In the end, Gregory still couldn't finish analyzing the power of the original fire, because he had just walked into the room that Sawyer had prepared for him when he remembered something very important.

"That...... I thought I'd better go home first. ”

When Gregory said this to Sawyer, Sawyer spewed tea all over his face.

"I thought you kid had already gone back!"

"Ahem...... It's not like a witch is in a hurry to find you. ”

Gregory touched the back of his head, his face full of embarrassment.

Sawyer waved his hand impatiently: "Then what are you waiting for here, waiting for me to invite you to dinner?" ”

After sending Gregory out of the manor, Sawyer did not turn around and go home, but called his clerk again and went to inspect the Seventh Ring Road.

Now there is just over a week left before the start of the Black Tide, and the atmosphere in the city is becoming more and more depressing, coupled with the influx of a large number of gray fog residents, it has brought great pressure to the security forces in the Seventh Ring District, and what worries Sawyer the most is the bill he passed in the council before.

Wartime mobilization decrees are not an unusual thing on the earth, almost every country has similar decrees, but it is the first time it has appeared in the Blue City, and it took a lot of effort for Sawyer to get most of the parliamentarians to accept this plan, and many times he has brought out the great god Rowena.

The so-called wartime mobilization decree simply means that the human, material, and financial resources of the entire Blue City will be uniformly deployed and put into the war against the Kuroshio.

In the provisions of the wartime mobilization law, it is good to say in terms of material and financial resources, after all, the vast majority of war materials are controlled by the parliament, and only some living materials will be circulated through the chamber of commerce, and most of these chambers of commerce are inextricably linked with the parliamentarians.

And the real resistance to the motion is the human aspect, after all, in terms of war, the difference between the Ring World and the earth is still very big.

In modern warfare on the earth, the requirements for personal quality are not high, especially on the frontal battlefield, even ordinary people who have never been exposed to firearms only need to go through simple training to quickly enter the battlefield and exert a certain combat effectiveness.

In the world around the city, war pays more attention to the exertion of individual strength, and throwing ordinary people into the battlefield is completely a move to give people heads, and the concept of the council has always been the same - ordinary people only need to farm and mine, and the task of guarding the city is the patent of cultivators.

There is nothing wrong with this concept, after all, for ordinary people, even after a few months of training and then wearing a full set of equipment, for the berserk beast, it is just a piece of a slightly hard snack, the difference is nothing more than eating it in one bite or chewing a few more bites.

But in Sawyer's opinion, this is not the case, in the face of the endless black tide, ordinary people can actually play a big role.

In fact, are ordinary people really weak?

No, especially those farmers who work in the fields all day long or miners who work in the mines, their physique is actually not much weaker than the nine-ring professionals, especially those farmers and miners who work within the protection area of the ring city, although they have no talent for cultivation and cannot condense soul power, but under the nourishment of energy, the gap between them and the nine-ring warriors is actually just a soul power that is not pure.

For the nine-ring warriors, the increase in soul power for strength is not very strong, and even when the soul power is lacking, the body will spontaneously convert physical and spiritual power into soul power, which will lead to loss of strength if you are not careful.

It's like when Sawyer first met Gregory and the others, Gregory and Hale in the Nine Environment Realm also relied on their own physical fitness, as well as combat experience and skills when fighting, and only used soul power at critical moments, and in each battle, the number of times they used soul power would definitely not exceed three times.

And when resisting the Kuroshio, this embarrassing situation will also be more prominent, after all, the Kuroshio lasts for an extremely long time, although in this process, everyone has the opportunity to take turns to rest, but no one dares to guarantee that when they are ready to retreat, there will be a berserk beast to launch a surprise attack on themselves.

Therefore, in the process of resisting the Kuroshio, almost none of the melee professionals of the Nine Rings will use soul power, and those Nine Ring archers who are guarding the head of the city will only shoot a limited number of arrows with soul power before it is their turn to rest, and the impact on the entire battlefield is almost negligible.

As for the very small number of spellcasters, not to mention, for a nine-ring professional, even with the help of spell-casting materials, he can only cast three to five spells in a short period of time, and the effective distance of these spells is still very short, in the process of resisting the Kuroshio, the nine-ring or even eight-ring professionals have only one task - to charge the mage tower in the blue city.

So, what is the difference between a nine-ring professional who doesn't dare to use soul power and an ordinary person with a strong physique?

After Sawyer tried to explain this to the councillors, three councillors immediately expressed their support for Sawyer, and the remaining nine councillors were not so resolute, and after Sawyer moved Royer's name out twice in a row, he finally persuaded five more councillors to pass the wartime mobilization decree by an overwhelming margin of 9 to 4.

Walking through the streets of the Seventh Ring Road, Sawyer also felt the changes brought about by this decree.

Although it has only been more than two hours since the passage of this wartime mobilization decree, many adventurers who have received tasks can already be seen on the streets of the Seventh Ring District, constantly entering and leaving the warehouses of major chambers of commerce, transporting construction materials to the city walls and outside the city, and counting daily necessities to prevent some merchants from taking advantage of the Kuroshio Wave to raise prices.

At the same time, there are many ordinary people who have been requisitioned to the military camp in the Seventh Ring District for assault training, Sawyer does not have too high expectations for them, and will not vainly try to order these "militiamen" to go to the first battlefield to fight the Kuroshio, he only needs these people to learn how to shoot arrows in a week, when the Kuroshio comes, these "militiamen" will bring huge ranged power to the blue city, and bring death to the largest number of low-level gray beasts.

Looking around the street, Sawyer took the clerk to the barracks again, but as soon as he entered the barracks, he saw an unexpected person: "Gregory? Why are you here? ”
