Actually, there were quite a lot of inner city residents before they were chased away. But when they were chased away, big tribes like the Tigers and Dragons went to Ghost Dragon City. Some old, weak, sick, and disabled people died at the bottom of the river. Some foolish ones went to the frontlines, thinking that they would complete their mission and return to Holy Dragon City.
Therefore, it was impossible to tell if the 3,000 people who suddenly came were inner city residents. After all, they were mixed-blood Dragons.
But Zhu Sangui was sure that there was something wrong with them.
Although he didn't dare to say that he knew all the inner city residents, he knew the leaders of the various forces and the popular people around them. There were no familiar faces among the 3,000 people. Even if they were people who had been separated from several forces, it couldn't be such a coincidence.
"It's okay. Let them in. We happen to be short of people here."
How could Du Feng not see it? Of course he could. But what was the big deal about 3,000 people entering a city with a population of 100,000? He left it to the female Array Master to handle.
The female Array Master was an expert manager. She immediately assigned the 3,000 people to work. They followed different teams to work according to their specialties. For example, some carried stones, some built walls, and some dug ditches …
3,000 people seemed like a lot, but there weren't many of them after they were split up.
At night, some of them gathered together and discussed, "Boss, did we get tricked? Why do I feel like we're here as free labor?"
"Yeah, that woman with the whip is really powerful. I'll get whipped if I don't work."
They had been indignant at first, but they were whipped after a few times. The female Array Master wasn't the only powerful one. The supervisor she found was powerful too. If these latecomers wanted to stay in the city for free, they had to work.
If they didn't want to work, they could contribute more Divine Stones. Therefore, the 3,000 people felt like they had been tricked after they came in.
"Bear with it. Our mission is to hide. Don't expose yourself."
The leader of the team had no choice. He was actually from the City Lord Residence. These mixed-blood Dragons had all come from the outer city.
Although most of the mixed-blood Dragons lived in the inner city, there were still some in the outer city, and they were all doing well. Now, they had to come here to do this hard and tiring work. They were really suffering.
"Alright, then I'll bear with it for a while. Let's work together from the inside and outside."
As he spoke, he made a throat-slitting gesture, revealing a vicious expression. That meant that once they found an opportunity to work together, they would get rid of Du Feng.
It was precisely because the Holy Dragon City had promised them huge benefits that they dared to take the risk to sneak in. If he couldn't get rid of Du Feng, then he wouldn't get any benefits. Especially after entering the city and seeing the construction here, all of them were even more envious.
If they could conquer the Peak City, that would be a huge gain for them!
These people had a beautiful dream, and they chatted well at night. However, the next day, they were assigned to work again, and the workload was even heavier than the day before. In the end, they were tired like a dead dog. When it came to the gathering at night, the number of people who came decreased.
"Hahaha, your sister-in-law is really something."
When the Dragon Emperor saw this scene, he couldn't help but want to laugh. Originally, he wanted to destroy this group of people, but now it seemed that keeping them alive was not a bad idea. With the female array formation's arrangements, their labor efficiency was not low.
If they were proper residents who came to seek shelter, Du Feng would be too embarrassed to make them work so harshly. Now that a group of spies who wanted to rebel had come, he wouldn't hold back. Their daily workload had to reach the standard, or they could forget about staying in the Peak City.
As expected, after a few days, some people couldn't take it anymore and started to complain.
"Boss, hurry up and tell them to send people over to take down the Peak City. We'll work together from the inside and outside."
"That's right. I don't think they have many soldiers. Why don't we just attack directly?"
These days, they had been working and observing in the Peak City. Basically, they had figured out the situation. Although the Peak City had a population of one hundred thousand, excluding the old, the sick, and the disabled, there were only seventy thousand who could fight. Moreover, among these seventy thousand people, there weren't many who were willing to follow Du Feng and charge into battle.
They came from different tribes and listened to their leaders' orders. Now that they were staying in the Peak City, they were just looking for a place to settle down.
According to their observations, if a fight were to break out. The only ones that Du Feng could really command were his two thousand men, the few hundred female array formation masters, and the Pig Dragons and Leopard Dragons to help him. The rest were just watching from the sidelines.
In other words, there weren't even ten thousand people who were willing to fight.
"Alright, I'll report this situation to the higher-ups."
Frankly speaking, the leader of the spies was also having a headache. Because of the increasing workload, he was so tired that he felt dizzy. When he returned home at night, his back was so sore that he couldn't even straighten it. If this went on, he might as well not work hard or he would collapse from exhaustion.
In the dead of night, he spat out a transparent pearl from his mouth. This pearl was only the size of a corn grain. After injecting some information into it, it flew away from his hand and flew into the sky.
In the pitch-black night sky, there was an additional transparent pearl, but no one noticed it at all. This pearl's unique feature was that it wouldn't be blocked by arrays. It wasn't like voice transmission talismans, which could be easily detected.
They also knew that Du Feng had many array formation masters with him. Du Feng himself was a great array formation master, so they didn't dare to use voice transmission talismans for fear of being caught.
The pearl flew into the sky and quickly reached the hands of one of the Holy Dragon City's higher-ups.
"Oh? Is the defense of the Peak City so weak? It's different from the last time we detected it. "
The spy that was released previously also provided insider information about the Peak City, but it wasn't like that. He said that out of a hundred thousand people, seventy thousand would be warriors who could fight. But this time, he said there were less than ten thousand under Du Feng's command.
"Why don't we let them recruit more people inside, and I'll send some people over to support them."
Knowing that Du Feng didn't have many soldiers, the higher-ups of the Holy Dragon City were much more relieved. Of course, this was only a portion of the higher-ups, because they weren't united to begin with. This portion of the higher-ups thought that after taking down the Peak City, they would have one more place to rule.
"We're still sending people over? Isn't it too obvious?"
Some people objected, feeling that it would be too obvious. After all, it was hard to find mixed-blood Dragons in the first place. But the person who suggested the idea told them not to worry. This time, it was guaranteed that nothing would go wrong. That was because the people he sent this time were real residents of the inner city.
