- Chapter 985 - Battle for the Tower (19)
The huge central mine was like the mouth of an abyss, constantly devouring demon soldiers who dared to enter. After all the vanguard troops entered the central mine, there was no sound, and even the messengers failed to return as promised. This made Rouxin The general was a little confused.
In fact, he himself has never gone deep into the central mine. That is not the job of a general at all. His scouts have never paid attention to the mine because there are no soldiers there. Instead of going to the mine Instead of wandering around and getting a feel for the terrain, it is better to go around and watch out for troops on the border.
The vanguard was ineffective, and General Rouxin could not give up. Even if he did not defeat the enemies inside, he should at least retreat. At this time, he had not yet thought of the possibility of the entire army being annihilated.
So, he sent out another team. This time, the attack did not encounter too strong defensive resistance. The demon soldiers successfully entered the gate and entered the corridor, and then encountered the same situation as before.
And because General Rotten Heart failed to make any response strategy to the environment in the mine, the second army, like the first, disappeared into the depths of the mine.
At this time, General Rotten Heart finally realized something was wrong. He felt that there might be some very powerful trap buried on the opposite side. Since it was possible that other demon lords were causing trouble, this kind of technical method was not impossible. As long as he went to the mine casually, Just hide a few magicians in the field.
So, he suspended his offensive and began to study with his staff and magicians what kind of magic trap could make him fall into the two teams.
The offensive was suspended, and the miner slaves in the mine finally breathed a sigh of relief. They threw the demon soldiers they had killed into the lava sea at the bottom. When Batman announced his break, he was the first one to come over. It was a very excited Rokkaku.
“Oh my God! I can’t believe it! We actually defeated these ferocious demon soldiers!?! I couldn’t even think about it before!!” Rokkaku said a lot of exclamations again, Batman Sitting opposite the bonfire, looking at him quietly, he soon asked:
“You are no longer a slave, so what do you want to do next?”
Liujiao was stunned for a moment, and then asked: “What do you mean, what do I want to do next? What can I do? Of course I will continue mining!”
“Do you really like mining? Is there nothing else you want to do besides mining?”
“But I have been mining.” Liujiao waved his tentacles, seeming to find it very confusing. He said: “What do you mean by something you like to do? You mean, I shouldn’t mine? I should go Do something else? But I can’t do anything else!”
“Did you know? Hexagon, the outside world is actually very big. The mine where you grew up is not the whole, and the barren continent is not the whole. Even hell is just an area in the universe.” Batman’s With some distant melancholy in his voice, he said:
“Don’t you want to go and see? Go and see what’s beyond the mines, what’s beyond hell, and how other lives there live?”
Change the source app! huanyuanapp.
“But how they live has nothing to do with me?” Rokkaku’s tone became even more puzzled. He said, “I am only a monster of Shadow Vine for half of my life. All shadow monsters are mining under the hands of the demon lord…”
“Furthermore, you asked me to leave the mine and take a look, but the mine is still full of General Rotten Heart’s army. If you want to overthrow him and become the new owner of the mine, you have to unify all the other six mountains. This is terrible. It’s hard!”
“Who said I want to become the new owner of the mine?” Batman asked, looking at Hexagon. At this time, Hexagon was completely stunned. He asked, “You don’t want to rule the mine, then why do you want to fight General Rottenheart?”
Batman paused for a moment, as if he didn’t know where to start, but then he slowly said: “I know, maybe your race has been here for generations, you work for the mine lord, Without receiving any reward, they drive you with violence and make you feel afraid and forced to work.”
“You don’t get any fairness here. Life and death are all decided by others. But when you felt afraid, didn’t you think that all this is unreasonable?”
“When you were afraid of death, did you ever regret that you didn’t fight before, so now you can only let others take your life?”
These questions made Liujia silent for a long time. He seemed to feel that these philosophical reflections were indeed a bit difficult for a newborn. Batman did not continue to embarrass Liujia. He stood up and planned to find the spindle demon. He wanted to talk to the elders, but at this moment, Liujiao said:
“So, you resisted General Rotten Heart because you were afraid that he would kill you? But as long as you work hard…”
“Weren’t you working hard before?” Batman turned around and whispered: “Didn’t those overseers still issue an order that cannot be completed, and then they want to throw you into the lava?”
“When you hand over the power to decide your life and death to others, you should understand that people with this kind of power will not have mercy and will not set a truly fair rule.”
“Because as long as he can kill you at any time, he can overturn all the rules at any time. If you don’t want to die, you must resist and take back this power. The first step to freedom is to create an opportunity to survive with your own ability.”

The six corners did not speak again, as if they were lost in thought. Batman turned and left. He found the elder of the Thor Snake Demon, and at this time, the elder was also looking for him.
The elder of the Thor Snake Demon showed a flattering smile and said, “My lord, you defeated the powerful Renaissance General and took down the Central Mine. Maybe soon, you can take down the entire mine. I have never seen a demon lord as wise as you…”
After speaking, the Thor Snake Demon elder bent down, curled up his snake tail, lowered his posture, pressed his fingers on the center of his eyebrows, and said to Batman with his head down: “You will be the hope of the revival of the Thor Snake Clan. We hope to follow you and establish great achievements…”
Batman looked at him and asked: What’s the matter with the Thor Snake Demon Clan? What’s the matter with you? ”
The elder of the Thorn Snake Demon did not stand up, but said in a calm tone: “So, you have already seen that we are different from other slaves in the mine. Thorn Snake Demons were not a weak race. On the contrary, we once followed Belial to fight on the battlefield.”
“In the era when His Majesty Belial was still the Demon Prince, the Thorn Snake Demon clan placed their bets on him. The ancient Thorn Snake Demon leader declared his allegiance to Belial and accompanied him in the battles. In the end, he achieved brilliant results and was also awarded the title of Duke of the border territory, just like the current Grand Duke Astro.”
“But at this time, a Medusa named Das seduced His Majesty Belial and became the queen of the new country.”
The Thorn Snake Demon elder showed a resentful expression and gritted his teeth and said: “This vicious queen, in order to support her people, wants to completely eliminate the Thorn Snake Demons of the same snake demon type. “
“She concocted a conspiracy to make His Majesty Belial suspicious of the loyal leader of the Thorns. In the end, the leader of the Thorns was killed by His Majesty Belial, and all the Thorns were demoted to slaves and cursed to not be able to use magic. “
“After losing the magical power on which they depended for survival, a race that was originally a magic race could not compete with other powerful demons with only physical strength. The Thorns could only retreat into the mines, because only by becoming slaves could we survive…,
After saying that, he lowered his body again and said to Batman in a humble tone: “I have been able to glimpse the glory of my ancestors in the books left by my ancestors. Your demeanor is no different from that of the young His Majesty Belial. Please lead us to conquer a new territory!”
“Do you want me to become the new demon lord?” Batman asked.
“Yes, sir, you have such potential. As long as you can take over the mine, General Rotheart’s territory and army, it will be enough for you to develop your own power. If you can lift the curse for the Thorn Snake Demon, we will definitely be loyal to you with all our strength…” Batman saw the ravines on the face of the Thorn Snake Demon Elder, which reminded him of another person, the old man who wanted to sell drugs to him as medicine when he stayed in the slums. Batman found that such low-level people, especially the elderly at the bottom, always have a habitual humbleness and flattery between their expressions and looks. That kind of flattering look is not deliberately disguised, but has been deeply engraved in their souls. Now, this old demon regards him as a savior, hoping that he can lead the Thorn Snake Demon clan back to glory, but Batman always feels that there is something wrong with this, and a strange feeling surrounds him. Batman can’t have any sympathy for the devil. Everything he does now is just to see humans through the devil. These are actually two very similar races, with the same wisdom, habits and society. The only difference here from human society is that Batman, as a human, does not have to worry about the consequences of what he does here. This is a proving ground where he can show his skills.
If he follows the script, Batman knows that he should accept the loyalty of the thief snakes, and then use this group of races that are obviously smarter than other demons to lead other demons, deepen the tactics, build a more efficient war system, and then win step by step.
He was crowned as the new king and gained a vast territory. To maintain such a territory, he must build a strong army, and to build a strong army, he cannot lack equipment. If he wants solid armor, he needs to smelt minerals, and if he wants to have enough minerals, someone must mine.
Some people are generals, and some people are slaves. Then the life and death of slaves will still be in the hands of the generals. In the endless cycle of the dynasty’s fate, all this is an unsolvable dead end.
But for Batman himself, did he come here to be a demon lord? What’s the use of his territory in hell?
Indeed, the grand victory of unifying Hell will be engraved into a medal, and giving up his collection room may also become his trump card to deal with some demons going to the human world in the future, but is this enough? Batman saw the suffering of the lower class people in Gotham in these oppressed demon slaves.
From birth to growth, they have been bound to a small piece of land and have never seen the sky outside. They don’t even know what resistance is, or that their destiny can be in their own hands.
Batman stood up, so they regarded him as their savior, thinking that he would definitely become a powerful king, but this only amazed them, and then continued to accept their appointment and rule, day after day.
Is this life bad for them? In fact, this is not the case. They know nothing and have almost nothing to ask for. Without desire, there is no pain.
But Batman prefers to call this numbness. Their ignorance is not their own choice, but the product of the injustice of the world. And he leads such a group of numb people to win one battle after another, and finally gets, Just another unfair world.
Batman suddenly discovered that if he still regards himself as the savior and asks everyone to regard him as the savior, then things will not change at all. Whoever becomes the king will not be able to change the situation of the people at the bottom.
But if there is no savior, who can they rely on?
During the lull in the war, Batman began to think about some more in-depth questions.
But just like Gotham, victory and peace are only temporary. Things will always slide in the bad direction, and then slide unstoppably into the abyss.
