The entire stronghold was already fervently discussing the matter of the refugees. Some things might not sound too serious when it first started spreading, but it would get scarier and scarier as it passed on from one person to another.
For example, some people who were worried about the refugees entering the stronghold at the beginning would say, "Will the refugees bring in diseases from the outside or something? After all, there's a saying that all refugees are contaminated."
When it reached the next person, it would become: "This is bad! The refugees have brought diseases into the stronghold!"
When it spread to the third person: "Several dozen people have already died from the disease the refugees are carrying!"
As it spread: "The refugees want to kill everyone in the stronghold with their disease!"
