Doomsday Code

Chapter 767 The Sad Lower Class

Dean nodded calmly.

Then he followed Chen Cheng out of the tent and came to the camp where the prisoners were held.

Because there was a plan in place long ago, enough space was reserved for the prisoner camp. At the same time, dozens of mages who were good at healing magic were waiting here. When the injured prisoners came over, mages would immediately come forward to provide treatment.

Fortunately, this is a world with magic, otherwise, with the injuries on these people, most of them would probably die if conventional medical methods were used in the current environment.

The wounded captives never expected that the orphans they were going to attack would actually save them.

In addition, they had not actually fought with the Black Armor Guards before, so this made some seriously injured captives feel grateful.

Human nature is so strange. At first, he thought he would be killed by the monster, and then he was captured and thought he would be tortured to death, so there was only hatred in his heart.

Now, not only will they not die, but they will also be treated. The hostility that existed before immediately turned into gratitude from the survivors.

When Chen Cheng arrived at the prisoner camp, the black-armored guards guarding the prisoners immediately stood at attention and saluted when they saw Chen Cheng.

"This is a military camp, there's no need for so much red tape."

Then he looked at the prisoners in the camp.

"Do you all know me?"

Chen Cheng pointed at himself and asked.

How could they not recognize Chen Cheng's face, whose wanted posters were posted all over the streets?

Before they met Chen Cheng, they had many guesses in their minds, but when he appeared, all thoughts of him being an enemy team disappeared.

These are the orphans of the empire, and the orphans of the empire led by His Majesty the Emperor.

Most of these captured guys were from the middle and lower classes. They had been taught to be loyal to the emperor since childhood, and they lived in an environment with a very strict social hierarchy.

Although the spread of Thorn Flower XIII and subsequent emperors was reduced as much as possible, even if it was spread, it tended to be alienated and destroy the world.

However, when their education and living environment were still under the feudal system and the empire was still the symbol of the highest power, the identity of the emperor still carried divinity to them.

Without seeing the person in question, this subtle influence is not serious. However, when the real emperor appears, the ideological education they have received over the years will cause them to develop extreme fear.

Especially after they were defeated and captured as rebels, this invisible psychological pressure was enormous.

Wow, wow, wow. Without Chen Cheng saying anything, almost all the prisoners knelt down at once.

When Chen Cheng saw this scene, he did not feel excited or angry as others imagined, but only sadness.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, these middle and lower class people were not on his list of enemies, thinking that they were just a bunch of headless flies.

They wanted to resist, but their resistance was not complete. They were originally their enemies, but they knelt down and kowtowed after seeing them. It can be said that their bodies and minds are divided.

This division was not caused by themselves, but by the alienation of them by the higher-level rulers.

Chen Cheng didn't say anything else, but just gave a few instructions, asking people to take the prisoners who could still move to build a prisoner camp, and then left.

After walking for a while in silence, Chen Cheng finally spoke to Dean beside him:

"You see, this is the reality now. They say they are resisting me, but in their minds they still submit to me.

Can this kind of resistance and rebellion really be called rebellion? It's just a group of headless flies that have been forcibly alienated and distorted."

When Dean saw the prisoners kneeling in front of Chen Cheng, it had a great impact on his mind.

He had previously regarded them as enemies, but after actually seeing them, Dean knew he was wrong.

They are a group of lamentable and pathetic people.

"After the prisoner camp is built, we will arrange for them to work in mines, fields, farms, and other places that require labor during the day for labor reform, and give them ideological study classes at night.

I don’t want to say that life has to be perfect, but it doesn’t have to be abusive either.

They are the first target of our new strategy implementation.”

At this time, outside the secret place in the valley, when less than a thousand people ran out of the valley maze in tattered clothes, the people who stayed in the camp knew that the army had been defeated.

Just when the whole camp was in a panic, Zhu Lun came out of the desert with Luca.

When he saw the military camp stretching for miles with tens of thousands of people, his heart skipped a beat.

Isn’t it clear that King Pingbei and the others are in Zhulun? This secret place is where he created the Alchemy Magic Disk.

The last time he escaped from the Holy City, he came here specifically to take a look. Seeing that the orphan of King Pingbei was living here, he asked Melos to take a message to Chen Cheng, who left in a hurry, asking him to come to the north.

But I didn't expect that after I came back this time, the outside of this secret place had turned into a military camp.

It is obvious that the purpose of these people stationed here is for the Pingbei King lineage in the secret place.

And looking at the construction of the camp, it is obvious that these people have just arrived not long ago, because the outer camp fences and other things have not been built yet.

Just as the two were about to sneak into the military camp to inquire about the situation, the news of the commotion in the camp spread to the back, and then the two saw a group of logistics soldiers carrying the pots and pans in the military camp, driving camels and horses for transport, and leaving here as if they were fleeing and moving.

Only the empty camp and the master and his disciple were left lying in a mess in the smoke and dust.

Using his sleeves to fan away the dust in front of him, Chikuwa coughed and cursed:

"What's going on? Why are they all fleeing like they're fleeing?"

Luca quickly stepped forward, knocked the rider who was lagging behind off the camel, and then came to Zhulun with the rider.

He threw the man to the ground, then looked at him and said:

"Tell me the truth, why are you soldiers running? Where is your commander? And why are there only so few of you?"

The one who ran the slowest in order to take away more things saw the momentum of Luca and the others, and told them everything he knew without any hesitation.

After hearing this, both of them looked surprised, and then when they looked at the fleeing soldier, murderous intent appeared in their eyes.

Zhu Wan and the other two are not stupid. After knowing these people escaped, they would definitely spread the news. So many people died here at once, and there was also a city lord.

The governor of the northern province of Ferdow will definitely pay attention to this place, and then the Pingbei King's branch will have to go into exile.

But in the end, Chikuwa let this guy go.

The biggest reason was that they arrived too late. The first remnants who escaped from inside had already run away, and killing these greedy logistics soldiers would be of no avail.

After letting the baggage soldiers go, the two looked at each other, and then quickly rushed towards the secret place in the valley.
