549 War Mobilization Decree
In the end, Gregory still failed to analyze the power of the original fire, because he had just walked into the guest room prepared by Sawyer for him and remembered a very important thing.
"That...I think I'd better go home first."
When Gregory said this to Sawyer, Sawyer sprayed his face with a mouthful of tea.
"I thought you guys had already gone back!"
"Ahem... Isn't this a witch in a hurry to find you."
Gregory touched the back of his head, his face full of embarrassment.
Sawyer waved impatiently: "Then what are you waiting for here? Are you waiting for me to treat you to supper?"
Send Gregory out of the manor, Sawyer did not turn around and go home, but called his clerk to inspect the Seventh Ring Road.
Now there is only more than a week left before the beginning 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. What worried Sawyer the most was the bill he had passed in the parliament before.
The wartime mobilization decree is not a rare thing on earth. Almost every country has similar decrees, but it was the first time it appeared in the Blue City. Soya took a lot of effort to make most members of the parliament accepted this plan, and many times brought out the great god Royna, a fox and a tiger.
The so-called wartime mobilization law simply means to uniformly allocate the manpower, material resources and financial resources of the entire Blue City and devote all to the war against the Black Tide.
In the various provisions of the Wartime Mobilization Act, it is easy to say about material and financial resources. After all, most of the war materials are controlled by the parliament, and only some daily necessities will be circulated through the chamber of commerce. Most of these chambers of commerce have close ties with the members of the parliament. If the war is in a tight position and even this part of the materials needs to be uniformly allocated, only a few members of the parliament need to be informed of these chambers of commerce.
The proposal that is truly subject to resistance is the human resources aspect. After all, in terms of war, the difference between the world around the city and the earth is still very big.
In modern wars on earth, the requirements for personal qualities are not high, especially on the frontal battlefield. Even ordinary people who have never been exposed to guns only need to go to the battlefield quickly and exert a certain amount of combat effectiveness after simple training.
In the world around the city, war pays more attention to the use of individual strength. Putting ordinary people on the battlefield is a completely despair of heads, and the concept of parliament has always been the same - ordinary people only need to farm and mine, and the task of guarding the city is the patent of practitioners.
There is actually nothing wrong with this concept. After all, for ordinary people, even after several months of training and wearing a full set of equipment, it is just a bit hard snack for the violent beast. The difference is nothing more than eating it in one bite or chewing it a few more bites.
But in Sawyer's opinion, this is not the case. When facing the endless dark tide, ordinary people can actually play a significant role.
Are ordinary people really weak?
Not, especially those farmers who work in the fields all day or miners who work in mines, their physique is actually not much weaker than those of Nine Ring professions, especially those farmers and miners who work within the shelter of the ring city. Although they do not have the talent for cultivation and cannot condense their soul power, under the nourishment of energy, the gap between them and Nine Ring warriors is actually just a not-soul power.
For the Nine Ring Warriors, soul power is not very strong in their strength. Even when the soul power is lacking, the body will transform its physical and mental power into soul power, which will lead to loss of strength if you are not careful.
Just like when Sawyer just met Gregory and others, Gregory and Hall in the Nine Environment Realm relied on their own physical fitness, combat experience and skills during battles. They only use soul power at critical moments, and in each battle, the number of soul power used will never exceed three times.
When resisting the Black Tide, this embarrassing situation will be even more prominent. After all, the Black Tide lasts very long. Although everyone has the opportunity to take a turn for a rest in this process, no one can guarantee whether a violent beast will raid itself when they are preparing to retreat.
Therefore, in the process of resisting the dark tide, almost no Nine Ring melee professional would use soul power, and those Nine Ring archers guarding the city will only shoot a few arrows with soul power in a limited manner before it is about to rest, and the impact on the entire battlefield is almost negligible.
As for those very small number of spell casters, let alone. For a Nine-ring profession, even with the help of spell casting materials, he can only cast three to five spells in a short time, and the effective distance between these spells is still very short. In the process of resisting the black tide, Nine-ring or even Eighth-ring professions have only one task - to charge the mage tower in Blue City.
So, what is the difference between a Nine Ring profession who dares not use soul power and a strong ordinary person?
After Sawyer struggled to explain this truth to the MPs, three MPs immediately expressed their support for Sawyer, and the remaining nine MPs were not so determined. After Sawyer brought out Royner's name twice in a row, he finally convinced five more MPs to pass the wartime mobilization decree with an overwhelming advantage of 9 to 4.
Walking on the streets of the Seventh Ring District, Sawyer also felt the changes brought about by this law.
Although this wartime mobilization decree has only been more than two hours since its passage, on the streets of the Seventh Ring Road, many adventurers who have received tasks are constantly entering and leaving the warehouses of major chambers of commerce, transporting building supplies to the city walls and outside the city, and counting daily necessities to prevent some merchants from taking advantage of the tide to rush prices.
At the same time, many ordinary people were recruited to the military camps in the Seventh Ring District for assault training. Soya did not have high expectations for them, nor did he attempt to order these "militia" to fight the Black Tide on the first battlefield. He only needed these people to learn how to shoot arrows in a week. When the Black Tide came, these "militia" would bring huge long-range power to Blue City and bring death to the largest number of low-level gray beasts.
