WARNING! SEXUAL ABUSE AND TORTURE SCENE!

IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THIS, PLEASE SKIP UNTIL THE *** MARK!

After the man finished speaking, he grabbed the woman kneeling between his legs roughly and cursed, "Useless thing! If you dare to hurt my family jewel, I will knock out all of your teeth!"

The woman trembled in fear but didn’t dare to resist. She lowered her head silently, her swollen cheek stained with blood. After holding back her nausea, she finally took the ugly, smelly thing into her mouth.

While she tried her best to accommodate the man, he suddenly grabbed her hair and shoved his thing into her throat. Her eyes widened in fear as she gagged.

"Akh! Ugh!"

Seeing this, the man not only didn’t pity her, he even felt more aroused. Without caring about whether she could withstand his rough movement or not, he increased his thrusting speed.

Looking at his subordinate losing himself in drunken pleasure, the Great General sneered and said, "Since when do we fear that small Kingdom? Except for that bastard Lu Qianxuan, no one can defeat me in battle."

"After we take over Jinfeng City, it will only be a matter of time before we storm the Great Yan Kingdom’s capital and kill that useless Emperor. By then, you can take as many spoils as you wish!"

Hearing his words, everyone in the hall cheered in unison, "The Great General is wise! We will serve you with our lives!"

Satisfied with them, the Great General stood up and waved his hand. "Bring those women in!"

The next moment, another group of women was pushed into the hall. Since there was no more business to discuss, the barbarians no longer restrained themselves and pounced on the women like hungry wolves.

Throughout the night, the hall echoed with drunken laughter, terrified cries, and the sounds of chaos, while the women trapped inside continued to endure their living hell.

Meanwhile, Lu Qianxuan was having a meeting with his subordinates to discuss their next plan.

Staring at the sand map, Wen Liyan pointed at the cliff area located south of the city and said, "Right now, we have no information about the situation inside the city. We can send a small team to sneak into the city through this area."

"Northeast City is known for its natural barrier formed by the cliffs around it. Compared to the other areas, this cliff is the deepest. Although it’s dangerous, the number of soldiers patrolling this area is small."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Lu Qianxuan stared at the cliff area for a while before he asked, "Do we have people who are strong and brave enough to climb the cliff without any safety measures?"

Since they were sneaking into the city, they needed to be secretive. So, they couldn’t use the safety measures they usually used to climb or descend the cliff.

Without ropes or other safety measures, the people chosen had to have strong grips, high stamina, and courage. Otherwise, before they even sneaked in, they might fall to their deaths.

After a moment of silence, Gao Yan suddenly said, "General, how about Fu Chen’an?"

"Him?" Lu Qianxuan raised his eyebrows.

Gao Yan nodded and replied, "Although he is young, he has been in the army for 5 years and shown his capability over the years. With his strength, observation skills, and leadership, he could lead the team."

"Besides him, we still need at least 9 more people," Bai Yunxiao added.

While most of the soldiers were well-trained, it was not easy to find people who fulfilled the requirements to carry out this task.

"If we plan to use Squad Leader Fu and appoint him as the team leader, how about letting him choose the team members himself?" Wen Liyan said with a smile.

They not only needed the team to be strong, brave, and resourceful, but they also needed them to have good teamwork to avoid unnecessary trouble during the mission. The best way was to let the team leader choose his own teammates.

Everyone discussed for a while before agreeing to his suggestion. They continued the meeting for another hour before everyone left the General’s tent.

Not long after, Fu Chen’an was summoned by Lu Qianxuan. When he walked into the tent, he noticed that besides the General, the military strategist was also present.

He cupped his fists, bowed, and greeted them. "Greetings, General. Greetings, Lord Wen."

Lu Qianxuan waved his hand and said, "No need for formality."

After a moment of pause, he continued, "Squad Leader Fu, there is a mission for you."

Hearing this, Fu Chen’an knelt on one knee and lowered his head, but he said nothing.

"Form a team of 10 people and sneak into Northeast City through the southern cliff. Your mission is to gather information about the enemy’s troops and the situation inside the city."

"Avoid alerting the enemy and return as soon as you get the information. Depart as soon as possible."

Fu Chen’an cupped his fists and said, "This subordinate obeys."

After he finished speaking, he left the tent and went to choose his team members. It took him an hour to gather 9 people and inform them about the mission.

Since they needed to avoid the enemy while sneaking into the city, they couldn’t bring anything besides some dried food and waterskins.

While they were preparing the tools, Fu Chen’an sneaked into the shared manor. When he saw his wife, he informed her about his mission.

The moment Yao Zhi learned about the danger, her face turned pale. She grabbed her husband’s hand and asked, "Can’t you use any safety tools?"

Fu Chen’an shook his head and replied, "There are watchtowers on the cliff. If we use the usual safety tools, they will be spotted by the patrolling guards."

Hearing this, Yao Zhi’s mind went blank for a moment before a thought flashed through her mind.

Since they couldn’t use hemp ropes openly, she could provide them with rock-climbing equipment. It was safer and wouldn’t alert the guards since they didn’t need to tie ropes around rocks or trees.
