Baker had already predicted the changes in the Storm Army, so in addition to the stimulation of the Storm Army, after the first battle outside Andorra, he put more experience on Silvermoon City, and the Silvermoon Army has expanded from the original 6,000 people to 12,000 people.

Even in order to bring actual combat training to the Silver Moon Army, Baker also wanted Duke Otto to ask for his life, and personally led the Silver Moon Army to the northern defense line, just to improve combat effectiveness.

As a genius boy of the empire, this is the unyielding and proud in his heart, he wants to maintain his reputation and dignity, how can he not give a straw bale brother who is called a waste, only to make himself stronger, let the Silver Moon Army be stronger, and others can only look up at themselves.

This is the difference between Baker and Teucer, even if Baker faces a threat, he just silently improves his strength and then defeats his opponent. Teucer is completely different, as long as he has the opportunity, he will do whatever it takes to take out potential opponents, and be nip in the bud by threats.

I want to become stronger, only I am the only one in the Otto family who is qualified to inherit the title of the god of war, and no one can defeat me!

Baker said silently in his heart, the gaze in his eyes became more aggressive, and a strong man's aura burst out in an instant.

Fei Duo naturally didn't know about this scene on the northern defense line, he was nervously gathering the refugees and arranging the first batch of people to go on the road.

With the name of the Otto family, the lure of gold coins, and more importantly, the threat of cold and hunger in winter, almost the vast majority of the 100,000 refugees are willing to go to Storm Castle with the Storm Army, because the end of the war is far away, but the cold of winter is just around the corner.

The migration of 100,000 people is no easy task, and the distance is much greater than the distance from outside Andorra to Stormcastle. According to Duke's estimates, it is about 300 kilometers in a straight line, and the speed of the refugees will be at least half a month.

In order to shorten the time as soon as possible and reduce the loss on the road, while still counting the refugees, Fei Duo had already asked the Storm Army to take the first 10,000 refugees to Storm Castle. At the same time, these 10,000 people also reported the news, so that Storm Fortress sent more wagons over, not to mention transporting supplies, at least let the old and weak use the storm wagons to transport them quickly, which could also greatly shorten the delay on the road.

When Duke received the news that at least 80,000 of Fedor's men were coming to Stormcastle, he immediately felt his scalp tingle. To be honest, Duke had never expected so many refugees to come to Stormcastle, and based on the number of displaced people before, he thought that at most, only about 50,000 people would be willing to come to Stormcastle at such a long distance.

As a result, I didn't expect that there were suddenly 80,000 people, and the number of people who were absorbed by the other roads also brought 10,000 or 20,000 people, which means that before the arrival of this winter, the number of people in the entire Storm Castle will increase by 100,000, which is equivalent to doubling the number of humans in the current Storm Castle.

Faced with the arrival of so many people in the future, Duke can only describe it as painful and happy, because the houses built in Storm New City were built according to the scale of 50,000 people. Of course, this must be a loose calculation condition, and if it is really crowded with a family, it is not difficult to live for 100,000 people.

If you add in the number of shacks that these 50,000 people lived in before, if there are really 100,000 people coming, theoretically within the scope of Storm New City, it can be squeezed out.

However, this is only a theoretical thing, because humans are not as rough and thick-skinned as fishmen, and even if they don't build cities, they can live as long as they have a basic grass hut. Even to exaggerate a little more, if they hide under the water, they will be able to avoid the bitter cold of winter.

But humans can't, these shacks are difficult to withstand the cold of Stormcastle winter, which is why before Duke, even the city walls were not built, and the reason why the houses must be completed first, so that at least when winter comes, the people of Stormcastle don't have to worry about the cold of winter.

As a result, the number of people has suddenly skyrocketed, and these shacks can only be used temporarily, and some are better than nothing. Of course, it is impossible for Duke to let the refugees survive the winter without doing anything about it.

So at this time, Duke once again launched a construction plan, trying to find ways to strengthen and thicken these temporary shacks, straw sheds and other buildings, so that they can barely withstand the cold wind in winter. In addition, they procured a large number of cold supplies, and the storm mine stockpiled as much coal as possible so that the refugees could warm themselves in the winter.

Another point is the redistribution of houses in Storm New City, so that the old and weak women and children move in first, which is also the consistent style and spirit of Storm Castle, that is, men should take on more responsibilities and difficulties.

With the continuation of these treatment measures, coupled with the continuous arrival of displaced people, it can be regarded as supplementing the shortage of labor, so that the reinforcement and thickening of temporary buildings can come before winter.

The only thing that made Duke feel gratified was that the quality of the pearl gem contributed by Fasqi was very good, and it was very popular on the mainland, and after the sale of the Storm Firm, a large amount of funds were quickly gathered, which effectively solved the difficulty of Storm Castle, and also allowed the procurement and storage of materials to go smoothly.

This made Duke really sigh, as long as he has money, these problems are basically not a problem!

While there is good news about the solution of the human resources problem, there is also bad news that Stormcastle's food crop collection is nowhere near as good as previously expected!

Duke had predicted that the amount of wasteland that had been reclaimed, plus the land of Storm Castle itself, would be able to meet the consumption of at least 200,000 people for a year, and last until the next year's harvest.

But the realization dealt a heavy blow to Duke, and the population of Storm Castle swelled to 300,000 with the addition of the Hai tribe and dwarves, and the decrease in food suddenly created a food shortage of 100,000 people. Even if Duke has continued to increase the purchase of materials before, with the arrival of winter, other territories are also shrinking the sale of food, so that the reserve of materials is not very instantaneous.

Faced with such a situation, Duke immediately found Goodman, the head of the logistics regiment, and Adra, the agricultural officer of Fort Storm, because the farmland was half military and half civilian in the early days, so this is also related to Goodman of the military. He was going to ask them about the exact data for the Stormfort harvest this time, and he wanted to understand what the reason for the reduced grain production was.

Almost as soon as Duke gave the order, Goodman, the head of the logistics regiment, and Adra, the agricultural officer, came to Duke's study. When they saw Duke's serious face, they understood that this time something was big. 8)
