The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 987 Battle for the High Tower (19)

The huge central mine is like a mouth of an abyss, constantly devouring the demon soldiers who dare to enter. After all the vanguard troops entered the central mine, there was no sound, and even the messengers failed to return as promised. The general was a little confused.

In fact, he himself has never gone deep into the central mine, which is not what a general should do at all. The scouts under him never pay attention to the mine, because there are no soldiers there. Wandering around and finding out the terrain, it is better to go around and beware of the troops on the border.

The vanguard did not have any effect, and it was impossible for General Corruption to give up. Even if the enemy inside was not defeated, he should at least retreat. At this time, he had not thought of the possibility of annihilating the entire army.

So, he sent 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 exactly the same situation as before.

And because General Rotten Heart failed to make any countermeasures against the environment in the mine, the second army, like the first army, disappeared into the depths of the mine.

At this time, General Rotten Heart finally found out that something was wrong. He felt that there might be some very powerful trap buried on the opposite side. Since it is possible that other demon lords are causing trouble, it is not impossible for this kind of technical means to appear. Just hide a few magicians in the field.

Therefore, he postponed the offensive and began to study with his staff and magicians what kind of magic trap would allow him to fall into the two teams.

The offensive was suspended, and the miners and slaves in the mine finally breathed a sigh of relief. They threw the demon soldiers they had killed before into the bottom lava sea, and when Batman announced his rest, the first one to come over It's a very exciting hexagon.

My God! I can't believe it! We actually defeated these vicious demon soldiers!?!! I didn't even think about it before!! Hexagon said a lot of interjections again, Batman Sitting on the opposite side of the bonfire, watching him quietly, soon, he asked:

You are no longer a slave, so what do you want to do next?

Liujiao was stunned for a moment, and then asked back: What is it called? What do I want to do next? What can I do? Of course I will continue to mine!

Do you really like mining? Besides mining, do you have anything else you want to do?

But I have been mining. Liujiao waved his tentacles, as if he was very puzzled, he said: What do you like to do? You mean, I shouldn't mine? I should go to mine. Do something else? But I can't do anything else!

Did you know? Hexagon, the outside world is actually very big. The mine you grew up in is not all, and the barren continent is not all. Even hell is just a part of the universe. Batman said With some distant melancholy in his voice, he said:

Don't you want to go and see? To see what's beyond the mines, what's beyond hell, and how other beings live there?

But, how do they live, what does it matter to me? Liujiao's tone became even more puzzled, and he said, I'm just a monster of Shadow Vine's half-life, and all shadow monsters are mining under the hands of the demon lord...

Besides, you asked me to leave the mine to take a look, but now the mine is still full of the army of General Rotten Heart. If you want to overthrow him and become the new owner of the mine, you have to unify all the other six mountains. It's hard!

Who said I'm going to be the new owner of the mine? Batman looked at Liujiao and asked, and Liujiao was completely stunned. He asked, You don't want to rule the mine, so why do you want to fight General Rotten Heart?

Batman paused for a moment, as if he didn't know where to start, but after that, he said slowly: I know, maybe your race ancestors have come here for generations, you work for the mine lord, Without getting paid, they drive you with violence, so that you feel intimidated and forced to work.

You guys won't get any fairness here. Life and death are all decided by others, but when you feel afraid, don't you think that all this is unreasonable?

When you fear death, have you ever regretted that you didn't fight before, so now you can only let others die?

These few questions kept Liu Jiao silent for a long time. It seemed that these philosophical thoughts were indeed difficult for a newborn. Batman did not continue to embarrass Liu Jiao. He stood up and planned to go to the shuttle snake demon. to talk to the elders, but at this moment, Liu Jiao said:

So, you resisted General Corrupted Heart because you were afraid that he would kill you? But as long as you work hard...

Didn't you work hard before? Batman turned his head and whispered: Didn't the group of overseers still issue an order that could not be completed, and then threw you into the lava?

When you hand over the power to decide your own life and death to others, you should understand that those who hold such power will not have compassion, nor will they make 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 get back this power. The first step of freedom is to create a chance to live by your own ability .”

Liujiao didn't speak any more, as if he was lost in thought, Batman turned and left, he found the elder of the shuttle snake demon, and at this time, the elder was also looking for him.

The elder of the shuttle snake demon showed a complimenting smile, and he said: My lord, you have defeated the powerful Fuxing General, taken down the central mine, and maybe soon, you will be able to take down the entire mine. I have never seen anything like that. A demon lord as wise as you...

After finishing speaking, the Elder Shuttle Demon bent down. He curled up the tail of the snake, lowered his posture, pressed his fingers on the center of his brows, and lowered his head to Batman, saying: You will be the hope for the revival of the Shuttle Snake clan. Follow you and build great achievements...

Batman looked at him, then asked: What's up with the slugs? What's the matter with you?

The elder of the shuttle snake demon did not get up, but said in a calm tone: It turns out that you have already seen that we are different from other slaves in the mine. The shuttle snake demon was not a weak race. On the contrary, we used to follow Beribi descends to fight in the battlefield.

In the era when His Majesty Belial was still the devil prince, the shuttle snake demon clan focused on him. The ancient leader of the shuttle snake demon declared his allegiance to Belial, and accompanied him in the battle all the way, and finally achieved brilliant results. , the leader was also granted the title and became the Duke of the border territory, just like the current Grand Duke Astro.

But at this time, a Medusa named Darth charmed His Majesty Belial and became the queen of the new kingdom.

The Elder Snake Demon showed a resentful expression, gritted his teeth and said, This vicious queen, in order to support her people, must completely eliminate the Snake Demon who is also of the Snake Demon type.

She concocted a conspiracy with her own hands, which made His Majesty Belial suspicious of the loyal leader of the Snake Demon. In the end, the leader of the Snake Demon was killed by His Majesty Belial, and all the Snake Demons were demoted to slaves. A curse that cannot use magic.

And an original magic race, after losing the magic power it relies on for survival, can't compete with other powerful demons by relying on physical strength alone. The shuttle snake demon can only take the initiative to retreat into the mine, because only by becoming slaves can we fight against other powerful demons. There is a way to survive...,

After finishing speaking, he lowered his body again and said to Batman in a humble tone: In the classics left by my ancestors, I have been able to glimpse the glory of my ancestors. Your demeanor is no different from that of the young His Majesty Belial. Please lead me Let's lay down a new territory!

You want me to be the new demon lord? Batman asked.

Yes, my lord, you have such potential. As long as you can win the mine, the territory and the army of General Rotten Heart, it is enough for you to develop your own power. If you can lift the curse of the shuttle snake demon, we will definitely devote ourselves to you……

Batman saw the vertical and horizontal grooves on the elder's face, which reminded him of another person, the old man who wanted to sell him drugs as medicine when he was staying in the slums.

Batman discovered that such low-level characters, especially the low-level old people, always have a habitual humbleness and flattery in their expressions and expressions. deeply engraved into their souls.

Now, this old demon regards him as a savior, hoping that he can lead the shuttle snake demon clan back to glory, but Batman always feels that there is something wrong with this, and a strange feeling surrounds him.

It is impossible for Batman to have any sympathy for demons. All he does now is to see humans through demons.

These are actually two very similar races, with the same intelligence, the same habits and society, and the only difference here is that Batman, as a human being, does everything here without regard to the consequences. This is the proving ground where he can show his talents.

If according to the script, Batman knows that he should accept the allegiance of the Snake Demon, and then use this group of races who are obviously smarter than other demons to lead other demons, continue to deepen the tactics, and create a more efficient war system , and then win step by step.

He was crowned as the new king and obtained a vast territory. To maintain such a territory, a powerful army must be built. To build a strong army, equipment is indispensable. If you want solid armor, you need to smelt minerals, and In order to have enough minerals, someone has to mine them.

Some people are generals and some are slaves, so the life and death of the slaves will still be in the hands of the general. In the endless cycle of dynasty fate, all these are unsolvable dead ends.

But as far as Batman himself is concerned, is he here to be a demon lord? What is the use of the territory of hell for him?

Indeed, the grand victory of unifying hell will be carved into a medal and give up his collection room. Perhaps, it will also become his trump card to deal with some demons going to the human world in the future, but is that enough?

In this group of oppressed demon slaves, Batman saw the suffering people at the bottom of Gotham.

From birth to growing up, they were bound to a small piece of land, and they had never seen the sky outside. They didn't even know what resistance was, and they didn't even know that their destiny could be in their own hands.

Batman stepped up, so they took him as their savior, thinking he was going to be a mighty king, but it just wowed them, and continued to appoint him to rule, day after day.

Is such a life bad for them? In fact, this is not the case. They don't know anything, and they 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 injustice in the world, and he led such a group of numb people, winning battle after battle, and finally got, 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 in any way. 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 else can they rely on?

In the lull in the war, Batman began to ponder some deeper questions.

But just like Gotham, victory and peace are only temporary, and things will always slide in a bad direction, and then slide unstoppably into the abyss.
