The setting sun sank in the west, and the blood-red sunset enveloped the entire Yan City. The crowd at the city gate was hurried, just like when the city gates opened in the morning.
This period before the city gates closed at dusk was also the busiest time of the day here. Some people who went out to handle affairs did not want to camp out in the wild and rushed into the city to find an inn to rest well. Meanwhile, small caravans from villages outside the city also needed to leave Yan City before the gates closed.
Yan City, like many border towns on the continent, had a curfew order, prohibiting anyone from wandering the streets at night. Violating this regulation could result in a penalty and confiscation of belongings, with offenders being thrown into prison lightly, or being executed on the spot heavily. If treated as a spy, it might not only cost a life, but under the enforcement team's severe punishment, one might wish for death.
