Even Du Feng did not expect that after a period of time, a mixed-blood member of the Dragon Clan would come to seek shelter with him. There were quite a lot of people this time, about five thousand of them. Moreover, they were real residents of the inner city from Ghost Dragon City.
That's right. They had already arrived at Ghost Dragon City, but they suddenly changed their minds to come to the Peak City. They had heard that the environment of the Peak City was very good. Even some small tribes were doing well here.
Of course, this was the second group of people mentioned by the Holy Dragon City's higher-ups. However, not all of them were spies. Many of them had followed the leader here, thinking that they were really going to seek refuge with the Peak City. Seeing that the environment here was good, and that they were given clean houses, they danced with joy.
Uh … This was what troubled Du Feng the most. With so many people, it was hard to tell who was loyal and who was not.
The three thousand people from last time were obviously spies sent by the Holy Dragon City. He could deal with them however he wanted. However, this time, only a portion of them were spies. The others were sincere, but they were from the same tribe.
If they didn't treat them well, it would inevitably disappoint those who had sincerely pledged their allegiance to them. However, if he did not deal with them, the spies who had snuck in would also be free.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry. Leave it to me."
The female Array Master patted her chest and promised that she could handle this. Out of the five thousand people who came, she would be able to figure out how many of them were sincere in their loyalty.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Actually, Du Feng knew that this was not an easy job. It was like giving you a bag of black sesame seeds. You would be able to tell them apart immediately. However, if you were given a bag of mixed black and white sesame seeds, it would be difficult to tell the white ones apart.
Things were not as simple as he had imagined. Soon, they started to make a ruckus. They started to complain about the unfair treatment. Why did those who had come earlier have easy jobs, while they were so tired?
Moreover, the troublemakers were all elderly people. He was too embarrassed to beat them up like the spies before. If he beat them up, he would inevitably incur public anger. However, if he wanted to tell which of them were sincere, he had to arrange for them to work first, and then he could tell them apart bit by bit.
"City Lord Du is said to be kind and righteous, providing everyone with free accommodation. However, he's even crueler than the Holy Dragon City. He's using us as slaves. "
"That's right. They don't treat us as humans at all. They might as well go to Ghost Dragon City."
"I think it's better to go back to the Holy Dragon City. At most, we'll go to the frontline. At least we'll die honorably."
Everyone looked at each other and complained. The resentment was getting heavier and heavier, and Du Feng's reputation was also affected because of this.
Ugh … This time, even the female Array Master had a headache. She did not expect the civilians to explode so quickly. That was because those old people looked more honest. He didn't expect that when he really caused trouble, he would be harder to deal with than a young man. They were all sharp-tongued, and they couldn't be beaten.
What to do? This time, even Du Feng was in a dilemma. As the City Lord, he could not bear the reputation of a violent ruler.
Now, there were only two solutions. Either they were not allowed to work, or they were asked to leave Summit City.
However, if they were not allowed to work, then the new spies that had snuck in would also be missed. If he continued to make them work, they would definitely complain.
It seemed like the only way was to ask them to leave Peak City and go wherever they wanted. But this method wasn't very brilliant either. If they left, they would definitely spread rumors that Peak City was not good and that they were chased out after only a few days.
Although most people felt that Peak City was not bad, if these people caused a ruckus, the others would also feel unbalanced, especially the thirty thousand family members.
The more they fought, the more they knew the value of peace. They did not want to go out and fight to the death. The family members had never been to the battlefield in the first place. They wanted a rich life. Peak City was already quite rich, but a man who was not content was like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.
With those people leading the ruckus, these people also started to feel emotional.
For example, they complained that someone's house was bigger than theirs, that someone's flowers were prettier than theirs, that someone's location was better, and that City Lord Du was being unfair.
They had already forgotten that when they were in the inner city, they did not even have the worst houses. Now that they were living in brand new houses, they still complained about whose houses were bigger and whose smaller. It seemed that not giving them a big house was torturing them.
Seeing the ruckus, Du Feng also felt a headache. Being a City Lord was much more difficult than he had imagined. He even started to doubt himself. Should he have built this city and let so many people in?
Back in the far north continent, there were so many people, but they were all well managed. Thinking back, Fu Yao had indeed played a big role. Also, the far north continent's conditions were terrible. Everyone was already satisfied as long as they could live.
Peak City was too comfortable now. That was why they had so many problems. If the extraterrestrial demons attacked now, they would all shut up and no one would dare to go out.
That's right. Since that was the case, why not create a sense of danger for them?
Du Feng had a flash of inspiration and immediately thought of an idea. There were only two ways to create a sense of danger for these people now. One was for the extraterrestrial demon army to approach, and the other was for the people from the Holy Dragon City to attack.
As long as there was danger, those who had nothing better to do would stop making trouble.
However, at this time, someone had to play the bad cop. As the City Lord, Du Feng had to play the role of justice. So who should play the bad cop? The best candidate was naturally Draconis.
He looked cold and emotionless to begin with, and he was surrounded by demonic aura. Ever since the Demon Fetus Heart Swap, he was even more chilling.
Du Feng discussed with Draconis and immediately came up with a plan to start training the troops the next day. Anyone who could still move had to participate in the training. The goal was to resist the possible attacks from the extraterrestrial demons and the Holy Dragon City.
The chief instructor of this training was, of course, Draconis. Anyone who dared to cause trouble would be punished.
"What's going on? What's going on? Why are they training the troops?"
"Didn't they say that City Lord Du is very familiar with the leader of the extraterrestrial demons and this place won't be attacked? If I had known, I wouldn't have come."
"That's right. If I had known, I wouldn't have come either."
Many people were woken up early in the morning and began to complain. They had come to the Peak City to enjoy their lives. Anyway, the extraterrestrial demons hadn't attacked yet. Who would want to suffer early in the morning?
However, these complaints only lasted for a few minutes before Draconis appeared. He led two thousand of Du Feng's trusted subordinates and the warriors of the Leopard Dragons to suppress them on the spot.
That's right. Direct suppression without any discussion.
