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

According to "Ghost Hand" Mo Qi's confession, "Red Abyss" does indeed have secret strongholds in various places. After the capital's stronghold was destroyed, the most important stronghold in the north was located in "Black Stone Town," on the border of Longxi and the northern border, under the cover of a trading company called "Tongyuan Horse Company," whose head was codenamed "Mountain King." The true lair of "Red Abyss" is said to be located even further north, deep in "Dragon Ridge," which is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and is controlled by the "Holy Lord" and his most loyal "Saints."

After Chen Heng's "special treatment," "Gray Falcon" finally broke down, and in his haste to die, he added some information. He explained that "Crimson Abyss's" main objectives for the near future were: first, to eliminate Lin Feng, this "stumbling block"; second, to collect "Crimson Flame Crystals" with all their might; and third, to find specific "sacrifices"—usually young boys and girls with special birth dates or constitutions—to conduct a large-scale "blood sacrifice" in the "Flame Valley" of Fulong Ridge.

"Blood sacrifice... young boys and girls as sacrifices..." Lin Feng's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

They must be stopped!

"Make a copy of the 'Crimson Flame Crystal' mine map, along with a summary of the confession, and immediately send it to Lei Bao in the Northern Border via the 800-mile express courier. Instruct him to begin preparations immediately, to find a guide familiar with the terrain deep within Fulong Ridge, and to dispatch the elite 'Falcon Battalion' to conduct preliminary reconnaissance of 'Flame Valley,' but be careful not to alert the enemy." Lin Feng issued the order.

"yes!"

"Xiao He, compile the relevant information into a secret report. I need to go to the palace to meet the Emperor."

"clear!"

After a moment's thought, he took out the "Wind and Rain Token" and said to the guard outside the door, "Go, find a clever stranger, take this token to the 'Qingfeng Teahouse' in the East Market, find the manager, and say, 'I have something to ask you about from Beijing Lin.' Make rubbings of the first three pages of this book and take them with you. Ask them if they can recognize the characters and pictures. If they can translate them, there will be a generous reward."

"yes!"

The guards obeyed and left. Lin Feng knew this was somewhat risky, but time was of the essence; he needed to understand the enemy's trump cards as soon as possible. And it seemed that "Wind and Rain Tower" was, at least in terms of being an enemy of "Red Abyss," on the same side.

……

After noon, a guard brought a brocade pouch sealed with sealing wax, along with a message from the manager of "Fengyulou": "The manager says this book is of great importance. The three pages have been translated into their main points and are attached to the pouch. The manager will send someone to contact us again in three days, and may be able to provide more assistance."

Lin Feng opened the brocade pouch, and the core meaning of the text inside was that "Chi Yuan" was attempting to use "Crimson Flame Crystal" and human sacrifice to perform some kind of evil summoning or communication ritual at the "Dragon's Eye" in Fulong Ridge!

"A bunch of madmen corrupted by evil thoughts!" Lin Feng slammed the note on the table. This almost demonic behavior! It must be stopped, at all costs!

"Commander, someone from the palace has arrived. His Majesty summons you to the palace immediately," the steward hurriedly reported.

……

The atmosphere inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation was solemn. Besides the Emperor, the Prime Minister Li, the Minister of War, the newly appointed Prefect of the Capital, and the Commander of the Imperial Guard were all present.

Lin Feng gave a brief report.

The hall was silent. Several high-ranking officials wore expressions of disbelief and shock.

"Monster! These evil heretics dare to covet the divine artifact and wreak havoc on the world!" Li Xiang's beard and hair stood on end, his anger barely contained.

"Your Majesty, such cults are far more dangerous than ordinary rebellions. We must mobilize a large army to sweep them out of their strongholds and eradicate them completely to restore order to the world!" the Minister of War said sternly.

The emperor remained silent for a long time, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Lin Feng: "Minister Lin, what is your opinion on what should be done?"

"Your Majesty," Lin Feng reported, "I believe we should adopt a two-pronged approach. Openly, Your Majesty could issue a decree declaring 'Red Abyss' a cult, ordering the entire realm to condemn it, and commanding the Northern Border, Longxi, and surrounding prefectures to conduct a thorough investigation and eradicate its open and secret strongholds. Secretly, I request permission to personally travel to the Northern Border, infiltrate Fulong Ridge, and capture the cult leader 'Earth Fire' and Prince Lin!"

"You intend to go to Fulong Ridge yourself?" The emperor's gaze was profound. "The environment there is treacherous, and the sorcerers have been operating there for a long time; it is extremely dangerous."

"I have received Your Majesty's great favor, and I will not fear even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire!" Lin Feng said resolutely.

The emperor looked at him, a complex expression flashing in his eyes—gratification, worry, and a hint of indescribable depth. Finally, he slowly nodded: "Granted. I hereby appoint you as 'Imperial Commissioner, Governor-General of the Northern Border Military Affairs, concurrently in charge of the suppression and pacification of Fulong Ridge,' and bestow upon you the imperial banner and token. All troops, provisions, and officials in the northern border and the surrounding areas of Longxi shall be at your command."

"Your Majesty, I obey! I will not fail Your Majesty's trust!" Lin Feng's voice was firm and resolute.

"Prime Minister Li, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue, fully cooperate with Minister Lin," the Emperor instructed.

"Your Majesty, we obey!"

Leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Lin Feng felt little relief.

"Defend!" Bai Xiaohe, who was already waiting outside the palace, whispered, "The 'Wind and Rain Pavilion' has sent people again, this time... two people."

Lin Feng looked up and saw two slender figures standing quietly not far from the palace gate. They were two girls dressed in the same light blue outfits and with similar appearances.

They looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, with skin as white as snow and features as beautiful as paintings. One had a slightly aloof air and a calm gaze; the other had lively eyes and a hint of curiosity as she secretly observed him. Both carried long swords on their backs, exuding heroic spirit, yet their girlish charm was undeniable.

"Grand Commander Lin," the aloof young woman stepped forward, clasped her hands in a respectful greeting, and spoke in a voice as clear as ice pearls falling on a jade plate, "The Lord of the Pavilion sent my sister and me here to await your command. My name is Feng Ling," she gestured to the bright-eyed girl beside her, "this is my younger sister, Feng Jue. The Lord of the Pavilion said that my sister and I might be able to assist you in the matter of Fulong Ridge. We have practiced martial arts since childhood, have some knowledge of mechanisms and miscellaneous skills, and... we also have some understanding of the customs and dialects of the North."

Feng Jue, the younger sister, quickly followed suit, her big eyes blinking as she stole a glance at Lin Feng before quickly looking down. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice was as clear as a nightingale's: "Feng Jue greets the Grand Commander. The Lord said the Grand Commander is a great hero who stands tall and upright, and that we... should follow the Grand Commander closely in our work." Her tone was filled with undisguised admiration and curiosity.

Lin Feng was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that the "Wind and Rain Pavilion Master" Feng Ming would send such a pair of delicate and obviously naive twin sisters.

Looking at the two sisters before him, who seemed to be cut from the same mold yet possessed completely different temperaments, especially the younger sister Feng Jue's undisguised adoration, he suddenly understood. Feng Ming's actions were probably more than just sending someone to assist him.

"Thank you both, ladies." Lin Feng suppressed his doubts, cupped his hands in return, and said, "I am about to head north, a journey fraught with danger. You two ladies..."

"We're not afraid!" Feng Jue blurted out, then realized her mistake, stuck out her tongue, and hid behind her sister. Feng Ling glanced helplessly at her younger sister and said to Lin Feng, "Grand Commander, rest assured, since we are here on the orders of the Lord, we will do our best. Fulong Ridge is dangerous, but we are capable of protecting ourselves and will not be a burden to the Grand Commander."

Lin Feng nodded and said no more.

Time is of the essence. Since "Wind and Rain Pavilion" has sent people, regardless of their purpose, having a couple more helpers is never a bad thing. As for the true identities and intentions of the two sisters, we can observe them on the way.

"In that case, you two young ladies, please come back to my residence with me to make some preparations. We will set off north early tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Grand Commander." The two sisters responded in unison. Feng Ling was cool and composed, while Feng Jue's eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation.
