Too many female prisoners, a special forces soldier transmigrates and marries wildly.

"Useless." Gray Falcon sneered. "Can't even handle a small matter. Lin Feng's men have already set their sights on that place. If I hadn't received advance warning, you and I would be sitting ducks by now."

Liu Mang broke out in a cold sweat: "Yes, yes, yes, my lord, your strategy is brilliant. So... what do we do next? We can't stay in the capital anymore, should we... retreat to the north as planned?"

Grey Falcon was silent for a moment, then said hoarsely, "The plan has changed. The 'Holy Lord' has issued a new decree. Lin Feng has become a major threat and must be eliminated as soon as possible. However, he is currently heavily guarded, and it is difficult to get close by ordinary means. The 'Holy Lord's' intention is to start with those around him or his foundation."

"People around you? Foundation?" Liu Mang was taken aback.

"His family in Ironwall City in the Northern Border, and... that old bastard Shen Mingxuan's daughter, Shen Qingqiu." Grey Falcon's voice was icy. "This woman seems quite concerned about Lin Feng, and Shen Mingxuan is an important ally of his in court. If we can control one of them, we can definitely unsettle him and even force him to submit. You immediately arrange reliable people, splitting them into two groups. One group will go north to Ironwall City to seize the opportunity; the other will stay in the capital, keeping a close eye on the Shen family and looking for an opportunity. Remember, they need to be captured alive, especially Shen Qingqiu."

Liu Mang gasped, "To...to touch Grand Tutor Shen's daughter? And Lin Feng's family? This...this is too risky! What if we fail..."

"It's precisely because the risks are high that we have to do it," Grey Falcon interrupted him, his tone sinister.

"Lin Feng, relying on his superior martial arts and power, believes no one dares to provoke him. We'll do it anyway! Not only will we provoke him, but we'll make him suffer, throw him into chaos! Once his mind is shaken and he reveals a weakness, that will be our opportunity. The 'Holy Lord' has already contacted the Northern Desert and the Crimson Feather Tribe, and a larger operation is imminent. Then, besieged from within and without, let's see how long Lin Feng can remain arrogant!"

Liu Mang was terrified, but dared not object, and could only grit his teeth and agree: "Yes... I understand, I will make the arrangements immediately."

"Be quick and discreet. Use unfamiliar faces. Once you've succeeded, leave immediately along the backup route. I'll send someone to meet you," Gray Falcon instructed.

"Furthermore, all our covert agents in the capital, except for essential personnel, should remain silent and await further instructions. Those hyenas from 'Wind and Rain Pavilion' have an incredibly keen sense of smell; we need to be even more careful."

"yes!"

"Alright, we can't stay here any longer. Let's split up. Remember, if you make another mistake, you know the consequences." The Grey Falcon gave a final warning before turning to flee to the other side of the pine forest.

However, just as he turned around, something unexpected happened!

"Trying to leave? Too late!"

A sharp, cold shout, like a thunderclap, resounded through the pine forest! Lin Feng's figure flashed out from behind the ancient pine like a ghost, the "Dingjiang" short sword in his hand reflecting the sparse sunlight filtering through the leaves, its cold light dazzling!

Almost simultaneously, the skilled members of the "Falcon Camp" who had been lying in wait all around also appeared, nocked their bows and crossbows, and drew their swords, surrounding Gray Falcon and Liu Mang!

"Lin...Lin Feng!" Liu Mang was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, his face ashen.

Grey Falcon's body stiffened abruptly. He slowly turned around, and from the shadows beneath his cloak, two eerie lights stared intently at Lin Feng. His hoarse voice was filled with disbelief: "You... how did you get here?!"

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Lin Feng approached step by step. "'Grey Falcon'? A lackey of 'Crimson Abyss'. I heard your high-sounding remarks clearly. To harm my family? To harm Miss Shen? You really... have death in your hands!"

The last two words, carrying a chilling killing intent, seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

Grey Falcon glared at the limp Liu Mang, its eyes flashing with murderous intent: "It was you?! You betrayed me?!"

"No! It wasn't me! My lord! I am utterly loyal to the 'Holy Lord'!" Liu Mang screamed in terror.

"Whether it's him or not is no longer important." Lin Feng sneered, his sword tip pointing at Gray Falcon. "Surrender, reveal all of 'Crimson Abyss's' strongholds in the capital, their contact information, and the identity and whereabouts of your 'Holy Lord,' and I might grant you a quick death. Otherwise..."

"What else?" The gray falcon laughed hoarsely, its laughter like the cry of a night owl.

"Lin Feng, you think you've won just because you've captured me? The power of 'Crimson Abyss' far exceeds your imagination! And you can't possibly stop the 'Holy Lord's' great undertaking! Even if I die here today, you won't get anything of use! As for your family, Miss Shen… haha, you'll soon receive a 'surprise'!"

Before he finished speaking, Grey Falcon abruptly ripped off his grey cloak, revealing a tight-fitting black suit. At the same time, he raised his hands, and several dark beams, carrying a pungent, fishy smell, shot towards the surrounding "Falcon Battalion" soldiers! They were poisoned hidden weapons!

"Watch out!" Lin Feng shouted sharply, his figure already in motion. The short sword in his hand transformed into a screen of light, deflecting several poison darts aimed at him. The other "Falcon Battalion" experts also dodged or parried.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the gray falcon moved like lightning, not breaking out of the encirclement, but rushing towards the depths of the pine forest and the steeper cliff! At the same time, it let out a sharp and piercing whistle!

He's summoning his accomplices, or... he's activating some backup plan!

"Chase him! Don't let him get away! Chen Heng, you take some men and keep an eye on Liu Mang!" Lin Feng made a decisive move and drew his sword to give chase! Several skilled members of the "Falcon Battalion" followed closely behind.

Grey Falcon possessed exceptional agility, darting through jagged rocks and dense forests like a monkey. But Lin Feng was even faster, his speed enhanced by modern special operations physical training, each step bursting with astonishing power and agility, rapidly closing the distance.

Just as it was about to catch up, the gray falcon suddenly stopped on a protruding boulder, turned around, and held a strange, fist-sized, crimson sphere in its hand. A sinister grin spread across its face: "Lin Feng! Here's a big gift for you! Taste the 'Crimson Flame Thunder'!"

He hurled the crimson sphere at Lin Feng with all his might! The sphere traced an arc in the air, with a faint red light swirling around it!

Although Lin Feng didn't know what "Crimson Flame Thunder" was, he instinctively sensed extreme danger! He suddenly lunged to the side, shouting at the same time, "Scatter! Lie down!"

"boom--!!!"

The crimson sphere suddenly exploded in the air several feet away from Lin Feng! It burst forth with a blinding crimson light and a scorching wave of air! A hot wind mixed with sulfur rushed towards them, making it hard to breathe!

It's an explosive device made from that kind of reddish ore! It's incredibly powerful!

Although Lin Feng dodged in time, he was still hit by the scorching shockwave, and his skin stung. He was alarmed; the power of this "Crimson Flame Lightning" was indeed immense.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the explosion, Grey Falcon turned around again and leaped off the cliff behind the giant rock without hesitation!
