Chapter 415: The Truth
In the face of the ferocity of this group of people, Ding Qin did not hesitate to release his spiritual power and block in front of the team.
The spiritual pressure he exuded successfully attracted the attention of the enemy, while also effectively weakening the opponent's attack momentum.
After all, a spiritual cultivation of the third order and third level of spiritual power is an existence that must be paid attention to wherever it is placed.
In particular, when Ding Qin's silver moon came out of the sheath, taking advantage of the chill in the surrounding space, forming a kind of slaughter that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, even the opponent's master of the third order or above of the third order of spiritual power did not dare to easily step forward to provoke.
What's more, behind Ding Qin, the battle formation of Song Renqing and the other sixteen people is enough to make people feel extraordinary.
In the face of the sudden attack, in the entire camp, only this team maintained the same formation from beginning to end, covering the orderly retreat of the other part of the group.
Taking advantage of the enemy's hesitation, Ding Qin commanded the entire team and quickly advanced back dozens of meters.
However, the rest of the campers were not so lucky.
In the face of the onslaught of the enemy, they became more and more confused. Not only did there be more and more injuries, but there were also cases of pushing and stamping each other in the future.
Ding Qin saw it in his eyes, but he was powerless to help. He could only protect and guide the people of the Ailan tribe to retreat in an orderly manner, and minimize the casualties on his own side.
However, Ding Qin also found that those enemies were changing formations. After discovering that Ding Qin's side was different, they had changed the original straight rush to an arc surrounding, and there was a great tendency to gather everyone together in the urn to catch turtles.
Just before Ding Qin made his final decision, a neat shout suddenly came from behind them. Looking back, the gates of Ice Canal City had been opened, and hundreds of guards poured out of it, rushing directly to this side in a strict offensive formation.
Ding Qin was shocked.
Could it be that this is a conspiracy in Icecanal City? They want to kill all the campers tonight?
It's just, why? Aren't they afraid of arousing public anger with such actions?
"Attention campers, the gate of the ice canal has been opened, everyone quickly enter the city to hide!" Finally, the voice from the direction of the city gate relieved Ding Qin's concerns.
And this voice also brought hope to these campers.
The Icecanal City guards are moving fast. In a short time, they came into close contact with the group of unknown people, providing a layer of protection for the campers.
Including the team led by Ding Qin, the people took advantage of this opportunity to quickly retreat to the city. After most of the people entered the city gates, hundreds of guards from the city were sent out and rushed towards the attackers.
Those who come are not in love with war. Seeing that they were already at an absolute disadvantage, they immediately turned around and retreated as fast as they could. When they reached the Kong Ming lantern, they clinged to it again, and the flames in the lamp lit up.
At the same time, they released a kind of smoke around them. As soon as the Ice Canal City guards approached the smoke, they immediately coughed violently and lost their combat strength. Under the cover of smoke, these people rose into the air again and floated away.
The guards did not withdraw immediately. They immediately rescued the wounded on the spot and transported them back to the city. After confirming that no one was missing outside, the door of the Ice Canal City Gate slowly closed again.
In the open space inside the city gate, people were in shock, crying, questioning, and sighing one after another.
Ding Qin also worked with Mo Hafei to check the personnel in the team one by one. Fortunately, with the exception of two people who were slightly injured during the retreat, the other personnel were not injured in any way.
It didn't take long for a group of people to come from the city. The leader was about 50 years old, and there was someone holding a torch by his side. He walked directly through the crowd, walked to the side of the Ice Canal City Gate facing the crowd, climbed a half-person high platform, and said loudly, "Friends who have just entered the city, please be quiet. ”
His voice was kind and attractive, and it gave a sense of calm, which should have been specially treated with spiritual power. After this sound, the crowd slowly fell silent.
"First, introduce yourself. I am the Director of Foreign Affairs of Icecanal City, and my surname is Pang Mingshi. Just now, due to the martial law imposed in our city, everyone was attacked by the Fire Clan, and the personnel and finances were damaged, here, entrusted by the city lord, on behalf of the Ice Canal City, I would like to express my sincere apologies to everyone. ”
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, "Now, I make a promise to you. Anyone who has just been injured in the sneak attack will be treated free of charge in Ice Canal City. If there is a clear basis for the property damage incurred, we will compensate according to the price. If someone dies, they will receive 500,000 yuan each. In addition, everyone will receive a 5,000 disturbance fee from us. ”
Listening to him say this, I can't help but have a lot of discussion below. Among them, some of them are secretly glad that they are not injured and can still take some money for nothing, and some of them are lamenting that if people die, no matter how much money they take, it is useless. In addition, some people are singing praises, saying that Bingqu City is really generous.
Master Pang raised his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and continued, "In addition, what needs to be stated to everyone is that our martial law policy will still be implemented for a period of time. Previously, we did not explain to you much why martial law was carried out. Now, let me explain it to you. ”
"To the north of Icecanal City, there is a tribe called the Fire Resistance. A few months ago, they suddenly launched a surprise attack on a mine outside of Icecanal City, killing and wounding no less than 300 people in Icecanal City. After that, they repeatedly sent spies to infiltrate the Ice Canal City and carry out sabotage activities. For the safety of Ice Canal City, we imposed martial law, the main purpose is to prevent them from continuing to destroy, and the second is to eliminate the Fire Tribesmen who have infiltrated the city. ”
"However, we really didn't expect that the Fire Clan would raid the campers outside the city. Their behavior fully shows their evil side, which is caused by their ferocious and evil nature. At first, we thought they wanted to attack the city from this side, so we closed our doors. But after discovering their intentions, we sent guards in time to rescue everyone. Although there are some casualties, please believe that it is not our inaction, but the actions of the Fire Resistors are too unexpected for us. ”
"Now, when you enter Ice Canal, please rest assured that you will be safe. Of course, for the safety of the inhabitants of the city, everyone must be registered and inspected to prevent any of the Fire Clan's spies from getting involved. Also, if you want to leave the city, you must stay until martial law is lifted. During this time, we will provide you with accommodation, and the rest of the provision will be the same as when you were camping. ”
At this point, he deliberately raised his voice again, "In addition, I would like to remind everyone that you are free to move around within the accommodation we provide. However, if you leave the area we have designated without permission, you will be treated as a spy of the Fire Resistance. Of course, you can also choose to leave the city and leave Icecanal City. Tonight, please make your choice. Tomorrow morning, we will open the gates, and those who want to leave will be compensated and will leave on their own. If you don't want to leave, you can go to our designated residential area. ”
After speaking, he stopped making a sound and watched the wounded be bandaged and treated below. After a while, his gaze stopped on Ding Qin's body, intentionally or unintentionally.
Ding Qin was also looking at him. When the two looked at each other, Master Pang smiled very friendly, and then walked down from the stage and walked straight to Ding Qin's side, "I don't know what this little brother is called? I heard the guards of the city pass say that when the Fire Clan came to sneak attack, the team you led not only had a strict formation, but also the little brother delayed the enemy's attack with his own strength, creating conditions for the escape of all the personnel, and he was really the noble man of these people tonight." ”
Ding Qin didn't shirk anything, "What the director said is a bit exaggerated. I was just directing my team to deal with the outstanding situation, and if it were to expand to what to do for the whole staff, I was also more than capable at the time. In the lower Ding Qin. ”
Master Pang smiled, "It turns out that the little brother is Ding Qin, and he is the honored guest that the city lord is going to invite. No wonder, no wonder. ”
As soon as he said this, Ding Qin had doubts in his heart. "Director, just right, I have a question for me. ”
Master Pang said, "You probably want to ask, why does the city lord want to invite you into the city." ”
Ding Qin nodded, "Exactly." ”
Pang Shi said, "Actually, things are also very simple. When you arrived, the lord of the city was patrolling the gates. He saw that the team you led was neat and orderly, and unlike ordinary caravans, he concluded that you must be someone with a lot of background. Icecanal City was remote and had limited resources, and it needed to establish strong trading relations with the large caravans in the south. ”
Ding Qin listened, "However, we also explained at the time that we were going to Tianji State. ”
Master Pang said, "Even if you go to Tianji State, I'm afraid you won't never return, right?" Such caravans are rare, if we can really establish a stable trade relationship with us and transport rare things from the south here, it will be a treasure for the economic pull of Ice Canal City in the future, that is, the hundreds of thousands of caravans around it, which cannot be compared with you. In addition, there is actually one more thing. ”
When Master Pang said this, he pulled Ding Qin to a secluded place, "Some time ago, the city lord got a treasure from the south. This thing, called the Red Sky Meteorite, is only found near southern volcanoes. It is said that the weapon made of this ore naturally has fire attributes, which is a rare and superb product. The city lord also wanted to see if the little brother had this information and help make a weapon. ”
Red Sky Meteorite Iron Ore?
Hearing this name, Ding Qin suddenly felt a pain in his head.
Soon, about the characteristics of this ore, came out of nowhere.
"Chitian meteorite is a special mineral that erupts with the volcano after the meteorite falls on the crater and after tens of millions of years of lava quenching. If it is really the Red Sky Meteorite Iron Mine, it should be the twenty-four sides of the standard, the whole body is red, and there is a crisp sound when knocking it. Ding Qin slowly said the information in his mind.
Pang Shi's face was overjoyed, "Little brother actually knows this kind of thing?"
