Chapter 415 - The Captive Camp
In the center of the divine kingdom.
Joelson was on a mountain peak in the distance, looking at the camp of 20,000 people from the Slaughter Divine Kingdom.
The camp of 20,000 people was mostly made up of people from the Slaughter Divine Kingdom. There were also some captives from the four empires and some small kingdoms captured by the Slaughter Divine Kingdom. The captives numbered around 2,000.
Joelson speculated that these captives were mainly used by the Slaughter Divine Kingdom to threaten the four empires so that they would not join forces to fight against the Slaughter Divine Kingdom.
This was also the reason why Joelson did not rush in immediately. Although he did not care if these people were dead or alive, among these captives were people from the Orencia Empire. The Emperor of the Orencia Empire, Emperor Congrave, had once invited him to join the empire—he had even offered very high conditions. Moreover, the information that Clemente had told him was also obtained from Emperor Congrave.
This made Joelson have a good impression of him. The people who saved the Orencia Empire could also be considered as giving face to Emperor Congrave.
Thinking of this, Joelson used a transformation spell and transformed into another appearance.
Then, he walked towards the camp of the Slaughter Divine Kingdom.
Not long after, the people of the Slaughter Divine Kingdom found traces of Joelson.
"There are still people who dare to come?"
"This fool, he still dares to come after seeing our camp!"
A group of patrol members of the Slaughter Divine Kingdom saw Joelson and walked towards him with a smile.
They did not put Joelson in their eyes at all and only treated him as an ordinary captive.
And then, very smoothly, he became a 'prisoner' of the Slaughter Divine Kingdom. He was locked up in the camp.
There were no prisoners in the camp. There were only a few experts at the peak of the demigod level, as well as more than a hundred ordinary demigods, watching over two thousand people outside the camp.
Clearly, the Slaughter Divine Kingdom didn't pay too much attention to these prisoners.
In their opinion, these captives did not have the courage to run away in the Slaughter Divine Kingdom's camp.
In fact, that was indeed the case.
The 2,000 captives from the four empires and some small kingdoms also knew the Slaughter Divine Kingdom's purpose of capturing them. No one dared to run away.
It was not their fault for being cowardly.
Although they had 2,000 people and only imprisoned over 100 people, this was the Slaughter Divine Kingdom's camp after all. There were nearly 20,000 people from the Slaughter Divine Kingdom outside.
If they chose to escape, not many of them would be able to escape.
The vast majority of them would die here!
Instead of struggling to no avail, it was better to wait for rescue here. Their chances of survival would be higher.
After all, the Slaughter Divine Kingdom did not capture them to massacre them. Otherwise, they would not have survived until now.
Even so, the captives still had ugly expressions on their faces.
That was because no matter what the outcome was, their chances of survival were very slim.
Very soon, a few people from the captive camp walked towards Joelson.
"Which empire do you belong to? Or which kingdom?"
The few people did not say anything to Joelson and directly asked.
Joelson glanced at them and said, "I can barely be considered as the Orencia Empire."
The few of them heard Joelson's words and looked at each other with some doubt.
"Barely be considered as the Orencia Empire? What do you mean?"
"I'm from the Orencia Empire. Which city are you from?"
Someone said.
"The Imperial Capital."
Hearing Joelson's answer, that person revealed a doubtful look. He sized up Joelson and said, "Those who can come from the Imperial Capital are all famous geniuses of the Orencia Empire. How come I've never heard of you?"
"What about now?"
As he spoke, Joelson dispelled his transformation spell, returning to his original appearance.
Seeing this, the few of them revealed astonished expressions.
Transformation spells were a minor spell that they had just begun to train in. Of course, they knew about it.
But they had never seen anyone who could use such a minor spell to deceive a demigod like them!
Just from this, the few of them could see how powerful Joelson's talent was!
"You are..."
The person just now revealed a surprised expression as he looked at Joelson. His eyes revealed a look of disbelief.
The person cried out and quickly reacted. He covered his mouth with his hand.
"You are Lord Joelson?"
The person said in a low voice.
"Who is Joelson?"
Seeing his appearance, the others also revealed a puzzled look. They wondered who Joelson was that could make him so surprised.
That person looked at them with disdain. "Even Lord Joelson doesn't know? Lord Joelson is the super-genius who defeated Lord Clemente in the Imperial City Square!"
"That rumor is actually true?"
The few of them looked at Joelson in shock. This time, they revealed a look of awe.
They had heard of this rumor but they didn't believe it in their hearts. They thought that it was a piece of fake news made up by someone.
Even in their own country, Clemente was extremely famous. Many people believed that he was the most powerful of the four geniuses.
Now that they had received the affirmation of their friends from the Orencia Empire, they were all extremely shocked.
This youth in front of them, so handsome that it seemed unreal, was actually so powerful that he had defeated Clemente!
"You've seen me before?" Joelson asked. He didn't remember this demigod.
That person bowed to Joelson, then said respectfully, "Lord Joelson, when we were outside the tomb of the sovereign, I saw your appearance from afar."
So that was how it was.
Joelson nodded slightly.
The others were stunned but, at the same time, they were extremely puzzled.
"Lord Joelson, why did you come to the captive camp?"
That person was just as puzzled as the others. He couldn't help but ask.
The others also looked at Joelson, hoping for an answer.
If this question was placed on someone else, it would seem very foolish. Entering the captive camp, of course, was because they had been captured.
However, the few of them did not think that with Joelson's strength, he would be captured by the Slaughter Divine Kingdom.
Although they had never seen Joelson make a move, he was still a super-genius who had defeated Clemente.
Even if Wilfrid personally made a move, it wouldn't be a problem for him to leave if he couldn't beat him.
Joelson didn't answer. Instead, he looked at the few of them and said seriously, "Do you want to leave?"
Hearing this question, a few of them were immediately shocked.
"Of course we want to leave! But there are too many people from the Slaughter Divine Kingdom. Even if we can break out of the captive camp, there are still nearly 20,000 people outside. If we go out, we'll die. It's better to wait here for rescue."
The few of them said with dejected expressions.
"You don't have to worry about that."
Joelson looked at the other people in the camp, then pointed in a direction and said, "I will attract everyone from the Slaughter Divine Kingdom. You guys take the opportunity to escape. Clemente will meet you in that direction."
The few of them looked at Joelson in shock, then revealed grateful expressions.
They didn't expect that Joelson had come to rescue them from the captives.
Although Joelson might have only come to save the people of the Orencia Empire, the result was the same!
Their respect for Joelson instantly rose to an extremely high position.
After all, that was 20,000 people!
"Tell everyone the news as soon as possible."
"Yes, Lord Joelson!"
