The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Some houses have even been built outside the fence, and the land enclosed by the walls, which was empty just a month ago, has unknowingly become crowded.

Luo Yan walked through the snow-covered path to the temple in Beifeng City and found the acolyte working there.

According to the Guardian Clan acolyte, there has been a constant influx of refugees recently, and the registered population is nearing the milestone of one thousand people.

Looking at the Demon King flipping through the statistical book, the robed acolyte reported in a hoarse voice.

"...I heard from the praying followers that the nearby human lord seems to be deliberately driving them here. Initially, only one village did so, but it later developed into every village in the entire Baron Territory doing the same, and even the neighboring Baron Territory has started doing so."

Luo Yan flipped the booklet in his hand and casually responded.

"I am aware of this."

In fact, not only was he aware, but the first person to do this was his servant.

Later, he specifically instructed Sheriff Adela to provide necessary assistance to the groups of refugees in need, and if conditions permit, to guide them as close to the northern mines as possible to prevent them from getting lost halfway.

Although not everyone eventually joined Beifeng City, quite a few devout believers stubbornly turned back into the wind and snow, but the vast majority stayed for the safety of themselves and their families.

Under the repeated baptisms by the Graveyard Monks and the "learning by example" from the villagers of Holy Oak Village, most of these newly joined refugees became his followers.

However, unlike Luo Yan, a look of concern appeared on the face of the Guardian Clan acolyte.

"I'm worried that if this trend continues, we may not be able to accommodate so many people..."

Luo Yan replied.

"No need to worry about this, we can expand our settlement towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain Range, and if it's truly overcrowded, we can relocate some people to the Maze; Mist Town also has places where they can contribute."

"But what about food?" the acolyte said in a low voice, "They're consuming more and more food... even if they can do some simple work, they can't just conjure food out of thin air."

Due to Reggie Dragon's influence, most demons in the Maze have an ingrained fear of hunger.

Simply put, they are terrified of starving.

Luo Yan could understand his subordinate's concerns, even though he had a completely different perspective.

"They're not doing simple tasks; among them are blacksmiths, carpenters, skilled masons, and craftsmen proficient in various handicrafts... In usual times, we would have to spend a considerable amount of money or time to obtain their services, but now we can earn their loyalty with just a negligible cost. There is no more worthwhile investment in this world than this, it can even be said that this is an opportunity bestowed upon us by the Demon God."

Returning the booklet he finished reading to the acolyte, Luo Yan spoke in a gentle yet authoritative tone.

"As for food... we have Dark Night Elves and fertilizers, and in need we can import from next door, that is actually the least of our concerns."

"Moreover, since I have said that I won't let you suffer the pain of hunger again, I will not let you starve. There are only two things you need to do: one is to believe every word I say, and the other is to follow my instructions."

The acolyte bowed his head in fearful reverence and said with a hint of remorse in his voice.

"Yes, Lord Demon King."

Hearing this response, Luo Yan nodded approvingly.

"You may leave now."
