Chapter 975: Battle for the Tower (9)

When Batman went to dinner, he kept staring at where Alfred was, hoping that his butler would take a look at him, but Alfred, who took good care of him in the manor, now seemed to not know him, and while eating, he talked to the devil.

A few strong old miner demons also sat with the overseer, and a few people were chatting hotly, and after a while, Schiller and the overseer he knew before also joined in, and a table of seven or eight demons and two humans made a whole flow of motion.

The food in the bowl was nothing special, like boiled vines, plus two strange pieces of fire-roasted beast meat, it didn't taste good, but it could be eaten, and Batman stared at the movement over there while picking up the rice.

"When", the sound of tableware on the table sounded, Batman turned his head to look, and found that it was also twisting his head, staring straight at Merkel opposite, before he could speak, Merkel sighed first and said:

"I've been digging all morning, and I don't see exactly how Mr. Pennyworth got mixed up with them, Mr. Wayne, do you see that?"

"Call me Batman." Batman turned his head, glanced at his surroundings with his eyes, lowered his voice a little, and said, "How did you and Alfred get here? What about Zatana?"

"Miss Zatanna opened the portal, and, well, fainted due to exhaustion, and Mr. Alfred sent her upstairs to rest in the manor, and the two of us entered the portal, and here we were."

"Didn't you get caught by the big sandworm?" Batman asked.

Merkel shook her head and said, "The place where we landed, not far from here, is an underground cave, and when I saw that there seemed to be people here, Alfred led me over."

"Are you here for me and Schiller?"

"At first it seemed like yes, but then, Alfred seemed to have something else to do, so we stayed here."

As soon as Merkel said this, he noticed a black tentacle reaching from his side, and as soon as he tried to stand up, Batman turned his head and said, "Hexagon, I was still looking for you just now."

Hexagon slowly moved over, and in a clearer light, he looked like a ball of black vines, not so much like a demonic monster, more like a plant into a spirit, seeing Batman's eyes, Hexagon turned his eyes down, looked at himself, and said:

"What's there to be surprised about? The Shadow Monster is the most common cave plant, the Shadow Vine, which has awakened its senses, oh yes, you just came to Hell, you probably don't know it......

Hexagon grabbed a chair with his tentacles and sat down, then threw a piece of meat into his mouth with his tentacles, Batman didn't see where his mouth was, and the meat disappeared into the center of the tentacle anyway.

"He's your friend?" Hexagon rolled his eyes to look at Merkel, who was still looking at the monster with a wary expression, Batman nodded, then looked at his tentacles and asked, "Are your injuries better?"

"Your healing magic is really effective, the wound doesn't hurt anymore, but ......" Hexagon waved his tentacles, then sighed and said, "Forget it." ….

Batman still wanted to ask, but at this time, he saw that Alfred at the opposite table left first, and after a while, Schiller also left, and the two were probably connected.

Batman and Merkel both stood up and tried to go over, but the overseers had finished their meal and refocused on them, and Batman and Merkel knew they couldn't act rashly, so they sat down again and began to eat.

After a while, when lunch was over, and on the way back to work in the mines, Schiller slowed down and came to Batman's side, leaving only one sentence: "At midnight today, assemble in the abandoned mine halfway up the mountain."

Another afternoon of work, this time, Batman also began to be lazy, but instead of stealing other demonic minerals, he crushed the heavy rock and soil fragments that had been smashed down to the bottom of the basket.

It was Schiller who was in charge of transporting the minecart, and Schiller's attention was not on the minecart at all, Batman was carrying a basket full of minerals, and he seemed to have gained a lot of money, and he was not lazy at all, but when he poured into the minecart, the bottom was

It's all rock and soil fragments.

Schiller glanced at the muck in the minecart and raised an eyebrow at Batman, who heard him whisper, "Unfortunately, you've already graduated, otherwise, I'd really like to give you two points."

Batman shook his head and said as he walked back, "If I hadn't graduated, you'd have deducted two points from me."

In the middle of the night, Batman quietly removed the straw mat and began to study the gap in the corner, he also suspected that it might be a trap set for him by the demon, so he did not act rashly.

He swept the rubble away with his hands, feeling the air coming from inside, and then raised the torch to the gap and looked down, and saw that there really seemed to be a passage there.

Judging by the direction and strength of the air flow, there must be an exit on the opposite side, and the road is not rough and the exit is not covered.

This means that the place where the exit is located may be relatively hidden in itself, so there is no need for anything extra to cover the hole in order to have such a strong convective current.

Batman first used his fingers covered in armor to dig a little through the gap, and looked inside with a torch, and sure enough, the exit at the end of the passage pointed to the mine opposite.

Batman recalled the full view of the mine he had seen earlier, and he calculated the distance of the passage, and then realized that the location of the exit should be exactly right behind the mine bunker, at the foot of the mine.

There is no shelter there, it is relatively ***, but almost no one goes, and another small mine opposite, which is relatively far away, is separated by an erupting flue, and it is impossible for the guards to see the movement here.

After discovering this, Batman began to dig, and the last miner who dug out this passage seemed to be buried loosely at the entrance for the convenience of coming and going, and after a few light digs, he dug more than half of it.

After Batman burrowed into the passage, he filled the entrance with a layer of earth, and then reached out with a hand and pulled the straw mat over to cover the hole.

After he left, several black tentacles reached over and swept away the floating soil that had fallen from the excavation, and then silently took it back. ….

Emerging from the hole at the foot of the mountain, Batman found a rough but hidden path and began to walk halfway up the mountain, and as soon as he reached the abandoned mine, he found that Schiller was already waiting there.

What was Batman about to say when he stepped forward? Alfred led Merkel in, and brought two torches, Merkel fixed the torches, and ushered in a glimmer of light in the originally dark abandoned mine.

Seeing that everyone was there, Batman cleared his throat, but no one paid attention to him, Schiller stood up first, stepped forward and shook Alfred's hand, and said, "Hello, comrade."

Alfred took off his hat and said to Schiller, too: "Hello, comrade, I am Big, the operational officer of the 1st Directorate of the State Security Committee of the USSR, and I greet you on behalf of Moscow."

Merkel also stepped forward, shook Schiller's hand again, and said, "Special Hiring Member of the Fifth Directorate of the USSR State Security Committee, Oliver......

Schiller nodded, glanced at the two of them, and then said, "For the sake of secrecy, I can't reveal my real name and rank for the time being, but please believe that we are all fighting for the *** cause."

"Yes, Mr. Rodriguez, there has been a call from Moscow that gives high recognition to the revolutionary work you have led in Central America." Alfred put his hat on the table, and the two came to the table and sat down, and Alfred spoke again: "Comrade Vasilyevich, I would like to express my recognition and praise for your pioneering work in Central America."

"In his handwritten letters, he calls you the eternal friend of the Mexican people, the flag that flies again on the land of America."

Schiller shook his head and said, "We all know that there has never been a savior, that the revolution is inevitable and spontaneous, and that it does not need a glorious and great leader, that it is the will of the Mexican people, of the American land......

"The people of Mexico have been silent for too long in a land that has produced so many evils that it only takes a small spark to burn the whole land of Mesoamerica, and they just need someone to guide them on the right path

The road, the passers-by, and the leaders are not needed, which is why I didn't stand up."

"In any case, Comrade Schiller, you have accomplished an unprecedented feat, injecting a fresh blood into the heart of Moscow." Alfred said with a serious face.

But Schiller shook his head and said, "There is no such thing as a heart for the cause, and here, every comrade, every idealist, and every person who has walked on this road, or is walking on this road, is an indispensable bloodline."

Batman saw Alfred's brow furrow, and Schiller continued, "Comrade Alfred, I know that at some point you questioned some of the forerunners on this path, but this is actually quite normal."

"On the road of exploration, we will always encounter a period of confusion, there will always be people who disagree and go to another fork in the road, but if we don't take a step, we will only stay where we are forever."

"You don't have to be disappointed by the mistakes of some people, but rather you feel lost and confused because you disagree with them, which just means that you are still true to your original ideals." ….

"Please believe that the bloodlines that have been surging forward have never stopped moving forward."

"Perhaps, the heart that once beat the most enthusiastically is no longer young, just like the people of that era, some are shaken, some are old."

"But there will still be new blood joining in, and a young and energetic heart will beat in a new land."

Schiller's tone was always calm, as if he were stating a fact, but Batman had never seen such a moving expression on Alfred's face, and he even saw that his old butler was beginning to burst into tears.

Batman had never seen such a thread in this old man, he was always gentle and gentle, like an old tree that had come to the end of its life, curling and vigorous, and every vein was a story.

But today, Batman sees a new vitality in the branches of this old tree, or rather, it is the blood that has been hidden in the old torso, in the layers of tree rings, and the blood that has been born and suppressed has surged back into his heart.

Alfred stood up and shook Schiller's hand again, and the two were silent and said nothing.

But Batman clearly saw that with just one look, they said that in the past few decades, the world has been magnificent, and the ups and downs of life.

Between their souls, there is a power that Batman can't read, which makes them brighter and more vigorous than the red sun in the sky, even if they are in hell and surrounded by demons.

Merkel also seemed to be impressed by this power, and he and Batman were silent, and after a long silence in the abandoned mine, Schiller and Alfred spoke and stopped together.

"You speak first." Schiller stretched out his hand to greet him, but Alfred shook his head and said, "No, you should say it first, I believe that you should be higher in rank than me, and you should be better than me."

Schiller didn't refuse, he nodded, stood up, and said, "Now, we have three people who can set up a temporary combat command, so let me briefly explain the spirit of this operation."

"The land of hell, the vicissitudes of ten thousand years, the people of hell, have suffered a lot, and the demon lords are a mountain that crushes on the heads of ordinary people in hell."

"And we, as exploited, oppressed, tenacious, and resistantly civilians of hell, must fight to the end against the stubborn old forces!"

Schiller stood up and looked at the smoke rising from outside the abandoned cavern, his voice echoing through the mines:

"All the mortals of the oppressed hell, all the low-level races who have been bullied and exploited, and all the demons who have experienced injustice, will unite and vow to make thousands of miles of hell dare to change to a new heaven!"
