Chapter 986: Battle for the Tower (22)

Batman saw that the vitality in the shuttle-snake demon elder's vertical pupils was gradually dissipating, but in the last fleeting glance, Batman understood that he was not the only one who took history as a mirror.

No matter which world it is, there are always those who awaken first. They look up at the long river of history, come from the smoke and clouds of the vast land, and tell the common people below, walking the thorny path of pioneering.

Batman closed his eyes on the spot, his teeth clenched tightly. He repeated that sentence ten thousand times in his heart again—don't think you are the only smart person in this world, don't regard yourself as a savior anymore.

If there is a savior in this world, then those who are saved will never understand the truth that one should not entrust their life and death to others.

If you want them to be truly saved, you must let everyone understand how to save themselves. If you want them to obtain true fairness, you must let them all pursue fairness themselves.

If you want them to obtain freedom, you must let them have a self first.

The shuttle-snake demon elder's body gradually turned into ashes along with the passing of the last trace of vitality. The shuttle-snake demons surrounding him started to chant ancient ballads in a sad tune.

Batman stood up slowly. He took a look at the demons around him who were looking at him with shocked expressions, and then said to them:

"Let's go, find a safe place."

Batman walked forward in silence. All the demons followed behind him. In fact, they were shocked, afraid, and confused now, and could only follow behind that figure, not knowing where they were going.

Batman led this group of remnants toward the Third Mountain closest to the Central Mine. These two mountains belong to the mother-son mountain. The Third Mountain is actually a peak extending from the Central Mine, nearly two-thirds smaller than the Central Mine, but the distance is very close.

For some reason, the demon elite troops that should have been stationed everywhere also seemed a bit panicked, as if they were completely unaware of the collapse of the Central Mine. Batman noticed this, but he couldn't take care of the investigation, instead transferring to the Third Mountain at the fastest speed amidst the chaos.

There was another reason he came here: this was the mine where Merkel worked. He could pull Merkel along, which counted as having a helper.

The Third Mountain was not that big, and there were very few mine tunnels, only about a dozen. When he first entered the first mine tunnel, there was not a single demon here, and it was terrifyingly quiet.

Batman let the main force stay here to rest, and he went to the depths alone to find Merkel.

The terrain of the Third Mountain was very simple, almost a straight line, with no forks, so Batman quickly found Merkel's traces. He just walked to the center of the passage when he heard Merkel's voice coming from the mine tunnel in front:

【The book-reading app recommended by old book friends of ten years, huanyuanapp! It's really great, driving, before going to bed, all rely on this to listen to books to pass the time, you can download huanyuanapp here.】

"Why do we need to learn? This is the best example. The first squad used the experience they learned in the classroom before to successfully create traps. You have all seen it, the overseers holding powerful weapons also bowed down to the power of group cooperation..."

"Luo Luo was once the weakest small demon in the Third Mountain, but even so, a small demon who had just finished giving birth and was extremely weak, used the thorn sword in her hand to successfully kill the overseer who oppressed her!"

"Perhaps many people don't know that Luo Luo has 32 children, but in fact, she should have had more. The two children from her previous litter, born less than two days ago, couldn't even compare to the fist of an ordinary demon, and were taken by the overseer who was high on drugs to take pleasure in..."

At this time, Batman heard a sharp cry coming from the mine tunnel. Merkel's voice subsided, but another sharper and louder voice came out, containing great hatred, which made Batman's heart tremble even after hearing it.

"That group of damn green skins!!! The most brutal, most vicious green-skinned monsters in all of Hell!!! They dragged my two newborn children alive from my nest!!!"

"They pulled my children's tails, comparing who could throw them further. Those two poor children of mine, they had just learned to walk, and were thrown against the wall and smashed into meat paste..."

A gasp came from the cave. Although this is Hell, after all, there are certain order rules, and this kind of thing sounds very cruel even here.

The sharp crying and shouting became more and more, and it seemed that they were all small demons jumping up and down, crying and howling, telling how their relatives and children were persecuted.

Batman knew that they didn't make this up because the number of these little demons was too large, so the probability of them being persecuted was much greater than other demons.

The overseers were angry and took it out on them, took pleasure in it when they were high on drugs, did all the dirty and tiring work, and were kicked by people wherever they went.

Demons are not creatures without feelings because they are also God's creation. The thinking structure of demons, humans, and angels is about the same. Reason and sensibility coexist, and logical thinking and emotion coexist. Fear is human nature, and anger, jealousy, and grievance are also the same.

And at this time, Merkel's voice sounded again: "Facing such persecution, can't we resist?! Answer me! Small demons! If you have the opportunity not to endure such harm, and never have to suffer such grievances again, what will you do?!!"

"Kill them! Kill them!! Throw them into the magma!! Let them experience deeper pain than us!!!"

"Kill them all!!!!"

The small demons started shouting again, and the atmosphere in the mine tunnel became even more enthusiastic. Many demons whose emotions were stirred also started to roar. But at this time, Merkel stood out and poured a basin of cold water:

"However, you are the weakest demons in Hell. Look at your appearance. A few tied together are not as thick as the arms of other demons. Those powerful demon soldiers can easily crush you into meat paste."

The enthusiastic atmosphere stopped abruptly. The small demons were still chattering, but they couldn't say a complete sentence. And at this time, Merkel spoke again:

"However, just now, we successfully killed a powerful overseer demon. He even held a powerful weapon, but we didn't even lose a single demon and tore him into pieces. Tell me, how did you do it?!"

"Unity! Unity! I know! I have learned this word!" A small demon immediately stood out and said: "We have more than 20 demons, worked together to twist a rope, first blinded his eyes, then tripped him, used stones to press him, and then stabbed through his heart. We have many people, we are not afraid of him!!!"

Dozens of small demons started shouting again, clearly falling into extreme agitation. But at this time, Merkel adjusted the atmosphere appropriately and said: "If you hadn't learned the skill of twisting ropes, hadn't practiced how to aim at the overseer's eyes, hadn't practiced the technique of coordinating to push stones, could you have done this?"

The small demons slowly quieted down, each of them staring with big eyes at Merkel. At this time, Luo Luo, who had just been praised, stood out, shook her head and said: "Of course not. We didn't even know that those plant fibers piled in the corner could be twisted into ropes..."

"I learned for two days and didn't learn how to twist forward first and then wind backward. But fortunately, I learned it later. And aiming at the overseer's eyes, my god, I didn't even know where the overseer's eyes were before. We couldn't see at all!"

"This is why I say, everyone needs to learn."

"Learning, learning! Learning can let you defeat enemies many times stronger than yourself. Although we are completely incomparable to that group of soldiers in physique, we should use our brains and learn things we have never learned before. We will, and they won't, so naturally they can't beat us."

Merkel's language was very straightforward, without any complex logic. The central idea was one: I know many things. As long as you listen to orders, follow me to learn, you can kill whoever you want to kill, and kill as many as you want.

Soon, the atmosphere in the mine tunnel reached its peak, and all the demons shouted "Unity! Learning! Invincible!"

Batman stood on the spot and thought for a while, then turned around and walked back to the demons he led.

Looking at the group of numb demons sitting on the spot, whose expressions of horror had not yet dissipated, Batman sighed deeply in his heart, and then revealed that expression of turning the corners of his mouth downward.

He opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound because he didn't know what to say next. He stood on the spot and thought for a while, then decisively walked toward the passage.

Batman knew that he must go and ask Merkel now. Back then, what did he learn in the butler school?

Merkel was very surprised when he saw Batman. He said: "Oh, my god, Mr. Wei En, why did you come here at this time? I heard that you are leading a demon uprising in the Central Mine?"

Merkel reached out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Batman, but Batman was not used to this kind of etiquette. However, seeing the sincere light in Merkel's eyes and thinking about what he was going to do next, he still reached out his hand and shook hands with Merkel.

Unexpectedly, Merkel walked to his side and said in an admiring tone: "Mr. Wei En, although you are not one of us yet, you have made such an amazing righteous act and fired the first shot of liberating the mine. I believe you must have a great ideal like us."

Merkel turned his head and looked at Batman with an admiring gaze and said: "Seriously, Mr. Wei En, I really should learn from you. Your tactical brain and strategic vision are something I completely lack."

"I just emphasized the importance of learning to the comrades here. I think I must also set an example and constantly arm myself on the endless road of learning and improvement."

"Having awareness alone without means is impossible to achieve such amazing results as yours." Merkel suddenly stopped and walked to Batman's front again, reaching out his hand again:

"Comrade Wei En, can I call you that for now? I sincerely invite you to come here to hold a lecture, and you must share your amazing victory in the Central Mine, inspire the revolutionary confidence of the comrades, and improve the tactical level of the comrades."

"At the same time, I will also learn from the audience, take you as a combat model, fight the first battle of the liberation of the Third Mountain, support Comrade Alfred and the comrades who are fighting hard in Mexico, and also hand in a satisfactory Hell revolution answer sheet to the general command in Moscow."

Merkel said these words powerfully, without giving Batman any chance to refuse. Looking at the hot and sincere light in Merkel's eyes, Batman suddenly understood something.

He suddenly understood why that country in the distance could create such amazing miracles in just a few decades. Fighting for ideals sincerely is moving no matter where it is.

Batman looked around. He discovered that the demons here were much more vivid than the demons in the Central Mine. Although they were still strange, they were not leaderless.

Small demons gathered in twos and threes, following Luo Luo to learn how to twist ropes. Trolls piled ore next to the dirt pile, and lava demons used the sparks on their bodies to smelt small pieces of exposed minerals into arrowheads and daggers.

They seemed to have things to do, and everyone knew what they were doing and why they were doing it.

Batman discovered that his heart, which had been frozen for a long time, jumped fiercely in such an atmosphere. ===== CHAPTER 987 =====
