"Send this document down, and let the people below prepare the grain transportation team as soon as possible."

Sawyer handed a document to the clerk, and when the clerk turned to leave the room, his original determined expression collapsed, and he rubbed his forehead in distress and picked up a report again.

This is a report on the movement of gray fog, and according to the analysis on the report, the Kuroshio outbreak should be a week later, no later than two weeks at the latest.

And according to the witch's instructions, this time the Kuroshio was very unusual, not only did it come earlier than the previous ones, but it would also last longer, even if it was conservatively estimated, it would be twice the average duration of the previous Kuroshio.

The most critical problem is that because the interval between the two Kuroshio Currents is only more than five months, the various gray fog strongholds do not have enough supplies, and even if they rely on the previous accumulation, it is difficult to survive this Kuroshio.

The most important material is naturally food, more than five months, only enough for the crops of each gray fog stronghold to grow into one season, and the second crop has just sprouted, for the stronghold with a small population, saving food may be enough to survive this black tide, but for those large gray fog strongholds with special products, it is far from enough.

For this reason, Sawyer began to collect grain in Blue City as early as a month, and sent people to count the stocks, gathered a batch of grain to be transported to various strongholds urgently, and the grain transportation team that Sawyer mentioned just now was already the third batch in this month.

However, Blue City has accumulated a lot of money in the past, especially after Sawyer requisitioned the inventory, the food problem has been almost solved, even those small gray fog strongholds that are difficult to reach, Sawa has also issued a large number of high-paying tasks in the mercenary union, entrusting the mercenaries to transport food to these strongholds.

But with this, there is a scarcity of various maintenance materials.

For the gray fog stronghold, although it is rare for gray beasts or black beasts to break into the shelter formed by the fire on weekdays, when the black tide occurs, a large number of strange beasts flock to the blue city, and there will always be a large number of berserk beasts that have to pass through the stronghold, in order to prevent being harmed by these berserk beasts, each stronghold has established the black tide shelter.

These shelters can shield the perception of berserk beasts to a certain extent, and the suppression of berserk beasts by the stronghold fire is enough to fool these monsters with insufficient brains.

However, these shelters need to be built with special materials, such as the bluestone produced in Qingyan Town, and these materials have their lifespan, and every time after the Kuroshio, they have to replace the failed building materials, but in just five months, the various bases, including Qingyan, are completely unable to produce enough materials.

In order to shelter as many residents of the stronghold as possible, Sawyer had to pay out of his own pocket and use Royna's small treasury to issue a large number of escort missions in the mercenary union, transferring some residents of the more remote Gray Mist stronghold to the Blue City.

In order to settle these "refugees", Sawyer spent three days talking nonsense with those councilors in the Blue City Council, and then designated a piece of farmland in the outermost ring of the Blue City as a temporary settlement, and requisitioned a large number of tents to house them.

After the resettlement of this large number of gray fog residents, even if the crisis of the gray fog strongholds within the radiation range of Blue City is completely resolved, whether it is food or other materials, these strongholds will be enough to survive this black tide safely.

However, the deadliest thing is still in the Blue City itself.

Although the last Kuroshio was in no danger, it also destroyed some of the outer defense facilities of the Blue City, and although these facilities were repaired at the fastest speed under the supervision of Sawyer, the materials for the repair had all been used up.

Sawyer is simply powerless to complain, within the radiation range of Blue City, the two red gold mines have not expanded in scale in the past two hundred years, and the only rune stone mine has not expanded its mining scale for more than five hundred years!

In the past few hundred years, the production of various materials in Blue City has basically remained at a level that is only slightly higher than the demand, and the various material warehouses in the city, except for the grain depot accident, are basically idle, or simply changed to other uses!

Even these materials for repairing the outer defense facilities were barely scraped together by Sawyer running through all the material warehouses in the city, and Sawyer originally planned to build some more external defense facilities, but now it seems that what he needs to do more is to urge the various large gray fog strongholds to transport all kinds of products to Blue City as soon as possible!

"It's a headache."

Sawyer sighed again, the clerk pushed the door and walked in, and after seeing Sawyer's expression, he stepped back again, and Sawa had to stop him with a wry smile: "Don't go, come back, come back." ”

"Your Excellency."

The clerk walked up to Sawa with a bitter face, and for more than a month, not only Sawa had a headache, but he also had a headache.

In the past month, Sawyer has quarreled countless times with the Blue City Council in order to resist the Black Tide, and as a messenger, he has been scolded by the members of the council I don't know how many times, if it weren't for the high salary, he would have resigned a long time ago.

"Bear with me, when the Kuroshio passes, I'll give you another subsidy."

Sawyer threw out the blank check, barely making the clerk's face a little better, and then he said, "You go and contact the council again and ask them to go to the conference room, and I will go first." ”

"Your Excellency, you don't want to ......"

"Just go."

Sawyer shook his head and left the room before the clerk.

Two hours later, the twelve councillors left the conference room with complicated faces, and the clerk waited outside the door for a few minutes before seeing Sawyer walk out of the conference room with a relaxed face, and he hurriedly greeted him: "My lord, the witch invites you to go to the tower." ”

"Witch?"

Sawyer was suddenly stunned, when did the witch start asking others to help her deliver the message? Even if there is something urgent, you should contact him directly with your spirit.

"Who did you listen to?"

Sawyer's face suddenly became serious, at this juncture, the news of the witch was falsely spreading, could it be that someone wanted to make trouble? Those few elaborates sent by the Expelled King?

"He said it's your friend," looking at Sawyer's serious face, the clerk was also a little panicked, and raised his hand to point to the door, "Just outside the hall, there are two guards ...... with him"

Without waiting for the clerk to finish, Sawyer walked out quickly, he didn't have time to waste time here, if it was really as he thought, the two sapphire guards were probably already in trouble!

The door of the hall was slammed open by Sawyer, and the next second, he was suddenly stunned, looking at the guy standing in front of him in disbelief: "Gray? ”
