Along with the local troops they took in, they combined and directly stationed on the spot.
One special settlement after another formed. Underground, Du You had the Kobolds dig, establishing underground settlements, even cities, where functional buildings were constructed.
With so many people from the outside to provide cover, these places developed rapidly.
The population kept increasing, and so did the number of troops. Having finally found a stable life, and after cultivating the Secret Methods Du You spread, these people's mental states gradually changed.
The loyal ones completely hid the nearby changes, so the outside world remained unaware.
