"From what I see, Feng City is going to expand."
"Yeah, that's right. Once the news of this battle spreads, more people will come to seek shelter. "
Huang Youxue and Zhu Sangui continued their discussion. The leaders of the other mixed blood Dragons also participated in the discussion. Now that they were living in Peak City with their clansmen, they were considered citizens under Du Feng's jurisdiction. They should support City Lord Du's decision.
Since Huang Youxue and Zhu Sangui thought of this, the higher-ups of Holy Dragon City naturally thought of it as well. At this moment, all of them were so angry that they were itching. They wished they could skin Du Feng alive.
Initially, they wanted to take down Peak City with twice the number of soldiers and then enjoy the fruits of their labor. Even if they could not take it down, they could inflict serious damage and establish their dominance.
Unexpectedly, not only did they fail to take down Peak City, they did not even manage to touch a single hair of the city. Only about three hundred people were left who fled in a panic. It would have been better if they had not fled. After they did, the news spread even faster. Now, many residents of Holy Dragon City knew that the 200,000 strong army had lost to Peak City.
Peak City was a newly established city. Theoretically, it was still very weak. How could they not take it down when the 200,000 strong army attacked? Not only could they take it down, but they should also be able to slaughter all the 100,000 residents inside.
"Looks like City Lord Du is very powerful. We underestimated him."
"Yeah, I've never heard of him before."
"I heard that he was chased into the inner city. Now, it seems like he went in by himself. Think about it, if he didn't go in, how could he have gathered so many people? "
Everyone gathered together to analyze the situation and felt that it did make sense. Initially, when Du Feng was chased into the inner city, everyone thought that he was a stray dog who was bullied until he had nowhere to run. Now, it seemed like he had entered the inner city on purpose. Moreover, he had subdued several forces in the inner city and dragged his brothers out to establish Peak City.
Such foresight and shrewdness were not something an ordinary person could think of.
The more they analyzed, the more they felt that Du Feng was powerful. Some even said that he was the Chosen One and that the disaster in Coiling Dragon Realm had something to do with him because he wanted to take the opportunity to become a Sage.
This kind of saying was quite ridiculous in Coiling Dragon Realm. After all, Du Feng did not have the bloodline of a True Dragon. It would be more believable if he was a Dragon Emperor. However, as time passed and more people gathered, the rumor slowly became the truth. Many people started to believe it and wanted to go to Peak City to seek refuge.
Those who sought refuge in Peak City were all mixed-blood dragons who had been ostracized in the inner city. Those that could live in the outer city, such as Salamanders and Elephantans, were unwilling to leave the Holy Dragon City.
However, ever since the Sacred Dragon City's 200,000-strong army was annihilated in the Summit City, people started finding excuses to leave and sneak back to the Summit City. The population of Feng City increased from one hundred thousand to one hundred and thirty thousand, and from one hundred and thirty thousand to fifteen thousand.
After more than half a month, the population had unknowingly doubled to 200,000 people.
This was nothing. The most important thing was that the 100,000 people who had just arrived were all warriors. Their combat abilities were off the charts. Most of them were members of the Dragon Elephant Clan, but some were members of the Lizard Dragons.
The Dragon Elephant Clan had come because they were used as mounts in Holy Dragon City. Their status was average and they felt that staying there was no point. They might as well seek refuge in Peak City. Everyone would be equal. Also, with the Dragon Elephant Clan's strength, they would definitely be put in an important position.
As for the Lizard Dragons, they were just sent over to test the waters. Some of them had met Du Feng and realized that Du Feng could use the lizard's tail. They suspected that he was related to the Lizard Dragons.
For some reason, they had sent 10,000 people to check out the situation. Therefore, of the 100,000 new people, 90,000 were members of the Dragon Elephant Clan. Almost all the warriors of the Dragon Elephant Clan had come. Only the weaker family members were left in Holy Dragon City.
Of course, they did not say that they wanted to seek refuge with Du Feng. Otherwise, their family members might be in danger. Some of them said that they were going to the front line to fight. If they died, they asked Holy Dragon City to treat their family members well. Some said that they wanted to be spies and enter Peak City to investigate. They found all kinds of reasons to sneak out of Holy Dragon City.
After sneaking out, they all sought refuge with Du Feng.
After their inspection, they felt that there was no problem with Peak City. Du Feng also promised to treat their family members well. Soon, the remaining members of the Dragon Elephant Clan found all kinds of reasons to sneak out. Some said that they wanted to go to the front line to find their family members. Some said that they wanted to fight the enemy. Some simply wanted to compete for money.
The management of Holy Dragon City was in chaos. Because the True Dragon was not here, everyone wanted to have the final say. Even if one person did not let them in, another person would. Anyway, whoever let them in would benefit. Therefore, the Dragon Elephant Clan was divided into many batches. Finally, they all moved out of Holy Dragon City.
Because of this, the population of Peak City increased to 320,000. That was why the Dragon Elephant Clan had a population of 220,000. 100,000 of them were warriors who were good at fighting. The remaining 120,000 were their family members. The family members were not completely defenseless. They were just not as good as the warriors.
Originally, family members were burdens. Even Ghost Dragon City did not like to take them in. However, Peak City did not reject anyone.
Because of this, City Lord Du's good reputation spread. Fortunately, when Peak City was designed, the land area was large enough. Otherwise, it would be difficult to arrange for accommodation with such a sudden increase in population.
Of course, as a Master of Array Formations and Master Architect, Du Feng knew how to solve this problem. The one-story houses could be changed to two-story or three-story buildings. More people could live in them. There were still some empty spaces that were reserved for the new races to be allocated to them.
Any race that sought refuge in Peak City would definitely want a piece of land of their own.
For example, Huang Youxue led the Tiger and Dragons from Holy Dragon City to Ghost Dragon City. Then, they moved from Ghost Dragon City to Peak City in order to have a quiet and peaceful home. Although the entire city belonged to Du Feng, Huang Youxue was still in charge of the distribution of the Tiger and Dragons.
By the same logic, the new Dragon Elephant Clan also had their own leader. Small conflicts within the clan were settled by their own leader. Du Feng could not do everything himself. Only when there was a conflict between the leaders, or when there was an attack from the outside, would he come out and intervene.
Even so, most of the time, it was Draconis, the Dragon Emperor, and Mo Ziren who did the work. As the City Lord, Du Feng spent most of his time cultivating in his own City Lord Residence.
