At the low hill where the First Demon Army set up camp, they also set up a field command center. It was here that Amon and Xin Wuming were monitoring Steam Water City. A large table with Khode's map was laid on this table. It was from here that Amon sent orders to the many detachments that raided the surrounding settlements.
Xin Wuming was now looking at the map. Most of the time, he followed Amon's order without bothering to question the reason. After Amon's recent explanation about why they had not attacked Steam Water City, he noticed a peculiar thing with the positioning of their detachments.
They raided the small settlements and forced the survivors to migrate. However, the way the army detachments were positioned made it so everyone who fled were forced to move toward Steam Water City. It was their soldiers who herded the survivors here.
"Brother… Are we raising the city's population on purpose?" Xin Wuming asked.
"We are," Amon answered.
"Why…?"
