…The time had come. The situation was dire.
He lingered no longer. With a quiet call to Xile, he quickly resumed his rush toward the county town along the mountain path.
Six hours later, Qin Fang arrived at the county town.
But when he looked down from the mountain path, his expression turned to shock!
The city gates were sealed shut, and a large number of Soldiers patrolled the Haiman.
This clearly meant… the city was under martial law.
But that wasn't the main reason for Qin Fang's shock…
The key was…
Outside the city walls stood a massive number of people!
These people were emaciated and listless…
…It was just like the scene a year ago when the refugees had entered the city!
Only last time, the city gates were open, and the Soldiers were receiving the refugees.
But now, the gates were sealed tight, and the Soldiers above stared down at the populace with cold, wary eyes.
The gates remained closed.
