"Grey? Why are you here too?"

Seeing Gregory standing near the gate of the barracks, Sawyer walked a few steps and went up to say hello.

"Ah, it's Sawyer." Turning his head and looking at Sawyer, Gregory was not too surprised, but just looked up and pointed at the two middle-aged men on the school field: "That's my dad, that's Cory's dad. Both of them are here, so I can't come."

The clerk who followed Sawyer naturally recognized Gregory. After hearing this, his face suddenly tightened, he quietly took two steps, turned around and walked towards the center of the barracks.

The departure of the clerk did not alarm Saoya and Gregory, but Saoya's face was not very good-looking: "Your dad? And Cory's dad?"

Sawy remembers it very clearly that Gregory's father was a skilled blacksmith, and the weapons he made were sought after by many low-level professionals, not to mention Cory's father. The middle-aged uncle muttered all day long that he wanted Cory to go home to inherit the pharmacy shop!

"Yes," Corey nodded, "Isn't it just passed a wartime mobilization decree? In order to resist this dark tide, ordinary people without cultivation talent will also undergo a week of intensive training. You should know this."

While saying these words, although Gregory's tone was a little complaining, there was no resentment in his eyes when he looked at Saoya. Instead, he comforted Saoya: "Don't worry, I can understand you. After all, this dark tide is unusual, and you have to mobilize ordinary people to come..."

"fart!"

Sawyer interrupted Gregory rudely. Looking at Gregory's surprised eyes, he suppressed the anger in his heart and explained simply: "This is not that simple."

After saying this, Sawyer stopped talking. He stood there with a cold face. In the distance, an officer with a panicked expression was running towards this side. Behind the officer was the breathless clerk.

Looking at the officer's panic expression, Saoya's expression became colder. He snorted angrily, and immediately scared the officer's knees to his knees. He knelt on the ground with a plop, dragging a piece of smoke and dust on the ground, and stopped in front of Saoya.

"I didn't expect it, did you?" Sawyer said with a cold face.

The officer's head suddenly dropped lower, his body gradually bent, and finally, even his forehead was pressed to the ground.

"Nothing to say? That's right," Sawyer glanced at the clerk who had just run back: "Removed his position and then incorporated into the first sequence of defense formations!"

Hearing this, the officer's face was frightened: "Sir! I..."

"What, what else do you have to say? Take it away!"

Sawy waved his hand impatiently, and the secretary hurriedly reached out to hold the officer, but after pulling it a few times, he didn't pull it. Instead, he used too much force to stagger himself.

The officer knelt in front of Sawyer, gritting his teeth, as if he had made up some determination: "Sir! I'm useful! I know who ordered this matter! I'm willing to prove them to you!"

"Oh? Stained Witness?"

Sawyer spoke a word with a cold face, which made the officer's eyes show a little hope. Although he didn't understand what a "stained witness" was, he could see that Sawyer was interested in what he said! If he was interested, it means that he had a way out!

But before the officer could speak again, Sawyer waved: "Take a few people and bring him back to my manor, and then talk about it when I go back."

"yes!"

The clerk responded, and at this time, several soldiers next to him also surrounded him. The clerk waved his hand to greet them. After giving instructions, two soldiers immediately raised the officer and dragged him towards the inner city. The remaining few people turned around and ran towards the officer's room, and the clerk followed.

Sawy's anger also subsided, and then he explained to Gregory, the melon-eating crowd next to him.

As he said before, this matter is not that simple.

A few hours ago, in order to persuade the lawmakers to pass the wartime mobilization decree, he not only moved out of Royna's name many times, but also defined the scope of mobilization in detail, mainly for compulsory recruitment, mainly including five types of people: farmers, miners, porters, caravan guards and non-disabled and unemployed vagrants.

The large number of farmers is also the most basic profession in the city. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people. This principle is common in any world. If there are no farmers, even if there is no black tide, the city will not last for a few years.

However, in the layout of Blue City, most of the farmlands are in the outermost ring area and close to the city wall. During the period of the Black Tide, these farmlands will be recruited, some of which are used to place defensive materials, and the rest are used as temporary camps for adventurers, so as to facilitate support to the front line at any time.

In other words, the period of black ridicule and the period before and after the explosion was the farming holiday in Lancheng. The farmers were idle at home and had nothing to do. Soya simply waved his hand and placed this group of people within the scope of the recruitment.

Needless to say, the farmland and other things are still inside the city wall, but the mine caves are all outside the city wall. Once the black tide explodes, these mine caves will be closed and will not start again until the black tide subsides.

Therefore, Sawyer was not polite to the miners who were also idle at home, and was placed within the scope of recruitment like the farmers.

As for porters and caravan guards, the main service targets of these people are major chambers of commerce. Now that the tide is approaching, major chambers of commerce have long recalled their respective caravans, and Soya has uniformly allocated the materials of the chamber of commerce, so naturally there is no need for porters and guards.

So Sawy also placed the porters and caravan guards in the recruitment scope. However, the peasants and miners were different. After being recruited, the porters still worked in their own business and gathered materials from various places to temporary storage points near the city wall. Caravan guards who had received combat training and had certain combat experience were included in the militia sequence as a squad leader, responsible for receiving and conveying combat orders on the battlefield.

As for non-disabled and unemployed vagrants... do you need any reason to recruit them?

These five professions fall within the scope of forced recruitment. After being recruited, they will be forced into the militia sequence for training. In addition, there are non-compulsory recruitment groups and forced non-compulsory groups.

It is not difficult to understand that non-compulsory recruitment groups are allowed to join the militia sequence voluntarily and receive subsidies like other militias. They can also not join the militia sequence and still work in their original positions.

The forced non-recruitment group mainly includes the production and processor of important war materials. These people will be prohibited from joining the militia sequence and will be subsidized by the parliament, and will be forced to stay in their original positions and work overtime in their original positions.
