Too many female prisoners, a special forces soldier transmigrates and marries wildly.
Chapter 386 The Blood Banquet Turns into a Shock
Lin Feng suppressed the urge to act immediately. There were quite a few bandits, and the terrain was complicated. Taking action rashly might alert them and could even endanger the women.
He whispered, "Follow them and see where they're taking them, what they're up to!"
The group followed the bandits like ghosts, venturing deeper into the more treacherous and desolate mountains.
The night was as dark as ink, completely enveloping Black Wind Village. Lin Feng and his group lay in ambush behind a thorny rock ridge outside the village, coldly watching the village below, where dim yellow oil lamps were lit.
The stockade wall was made of rough logs and rubble, and it wasn't very high, but it was enough of a barrier for these rabble.
The dozen or so female prisoners were roughly shoved into a wooden hut in the corner of the village. Torches were lit at the door, and two bandits carrying daggers were guarding it.
"The layout of this stronghold is chaotic, but it has a strategic advantage, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack," Xie Wanqing said. "Should I go back and order General Lei Bao to lead troops to attack? We'll definitely wipe out these bandits!"
"No need," Lin Feng said like a lone wolf eyeing its prey. "This isn't just a bandit stronghold; it's also a dumping ground for stolen goods by the border troops. Sending troops in a big show of force would only alert them and let those rats hiding among the border soldiers escape."
He turned to the three people behind him. "Let's go in! Let's see what tricks they're up to!"
The group held their breath and, under the cover of night, crept like ghosts into the shadows toward the mountain stronghold.
They easily dealt with the two sentries at the gate and silently scaled the walls of the village. Instead of rushing to rescue anyone, they followed the commotion and made their way to the roof of the main hall.
The hall was brightly lit and filled with the sounds of drinking games and shouting. The gaunt old man known as "Chief Zhang" and the bandit leader who was escorting the prisoners were sitting at the head of the table, eating large chunks of meat and drinking large bowls of wine.
"Chief Zhang, this batch of goods is hard currency." The bandit leader took a swig of wine and exhaled a foul odor. "Old Li said some of them are prisoners of war from enemy countries, and some... hehe, they're just refugees with nowhere else to go. Anyway, once they're in our hands, they're all 'goods'."
Zhang, the leader, chuckled sinisterly, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Old Li is reliable. Our business is brilliant. The border guards exchange their 'scrap' for silver, we buy it at low prices, and resell it to brothels in the big city to the south—a huge profit. Even if there are some flaws that make it unsellable, we can resell them to the surrounding villages as wives for those bachelors and still recoup some of our costs."
"Hahaha!" A burst of laughter erupted in the hall, filled with the twisted nature of humanity.
Lin Feng, listening from the rooftop, clenched his fists so tightly they cracked. This was the border army? These were the soldiers guarding the nation's gates? They treated unarmed civilians like livestock, buying and selling them!
"Brother," a bandit leader fawned, "there are some really good-looking guys in there, especially those two sisters. They may be a bit dirty, but their faces and figures are simply divine. Since we're just stopping over, could we keep some for the brothers to enjoy, or... could you pick a couple to be your wives?"
Leader Zhang squinted, seemingly weighing the pros and cons, before waving his hand after a long pause: "Alright, business should be conducted with integrity in mind. However... since you've spoken, go pick two of the least noticeable ones to play with. Keep the twin sisters; we'll send them to the head steward in the south tomorrow—we can exchange them for a good horse!"
"Thank you, Brother Xie!"
Several bandits, drunk, stood up and staggered toward the wooden hut where the female prisoners were held.
Lin Feng held Bai Xiaohe back as she tried to rush down. He keenly noticed that the two women inside the house, known as the "sister flowers," were huddled in a corner, but their backs were straight. The stubbornness that shone through their despair was something that ordinary peasant girls could not possess.
Inside the wooden house.
The door was kicked open roughly. The light from the torches shone in, illuminating more than a dozen terrified, pale faces.
"Hehe, little ladies, don't be afraid." The bandit leader approached, his eyes glazed with drunkenness. "I've taken pity on you, so I'll take you to some good life... Oh, these two are the twin beauties?"
His hand reached out to the girl who had been keeping her head down.
The moment the fingertips touched the girl's chin, something unexpected happened!
The girl suddenly looked up, her eyes flashing with two cold glints! Her seemingly slender wrist gripped the bandit's wrist like an iron clamp, and twisted it in one swift motion!
"Snap!"
The sound of bones cracking rang out, and before the bandit could even utter a scream, the girl beside him—her older sister—had already sprung up like a cheetah! A sharp shard of porcelain had appeared in her hand, which she plunged viciously into the throat of another bandit!
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered everywhere!
In the blink of an eye, the two bandits were killed!
"Damn it! This is a trap!" The bandits outside realized what was happening and were about to raise their knives.
The two sisters worked seamlessly together, seizing weapons and moving like ghosts through the narrow room. Blades flashed, and screams filled the air. Their moves were ruthless and skillful, clearly the result of rigorous martial arts training; they were no weak prisoners!
In the blink of an eye, the five or six bandits who had broken into the house all fell to the ground, none of them alive.
The female prisoners inside the room screamed in terror and huddled together in fear.
The woman, covered in blood and carrying a dripping steel knife, walked step by step to the door. She didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground; her gaze pierced through the torch smoke, looking up at the dark night sky, her voice cold and resolute:
"This wretched world has no law, no way to survive. From this day forward, Black Wind Stronghold changes hands!"
"Either obey my orders, or die."
The room was deathly silent.
On the rooftop outside, Lin Feng stopped what he was about to do, exchanged a glance with Bai Xiaohe, Su Xuanji, and Xie Wanqing, their eyes filled with shock and amusement.
These two sisters were actually highly skilled, hiding their true abilities. They were not lambs to the slaughter, but she-wolves in sheep's clothing.
Lin Feng smiled slightly. He had originally planned to rescue people, but now it seemed that Black Wind Stronghold had a new purpose.
It remains to be seen who these two sisters who suddenly launched their attack are, and how they will operate as "female bandits" in this chaotic world.
