"From the mouth of the demon overseer, I learned that hell is divided into four parts, the first part is the barren continent where we are now, and more than 80% of the demon population in hell also lives here, and the famous demon lords such as Belier, Astro, Beelzeb, and Azazel are all on the barren continent."

"On the southeast side of the Barren Continent, there is a river of lava, most of the lava demons were born from the river of lava, and at the same time, because of the harsh environment there, many powerful demons were born, and the thorn demons in the ace army of Astro's thorn army came from the river of lava."

"At the bottom of the river of lava, all the way to the bottom of the continental shelf of the Barren Continent, there is an underground kingdom called the Deep Hell or Abyss, which is generally the place where the Shadow Clan lives, and most of the demons such as Shadow Demons, Shadow Monsters, Shadows, and Shadows who do not like the scorching environment are born there, and then follow the flue below the Barren Continent to the surface."

"At the beginning, when the first fallen came to hell, he became the leader of all things here, the most powerful Satan, who caused the five volcanoes in the center of the barren continent to erupt, forming a staircase to the sky, and above the staircase, there is an empty island, called the island of thrones, where the thrones of all Satans have been, and it is also Satan's palace."

"After Lucifer left, the keys to the palace were given to his friends, and now, neither Beelzebub nor Azazel can enter Satan's palace."

"In addition, I heard that at the end of the lava river, there is a group of traitors to God, called Deakins, and their leader Elias is also a famous demon king, but they don't like to deal with these demons in hell and think they are dirty bugs, but this time, Elias seems to be a little ready to move, perhaps, he also has his own plans for Satan's throne."

Alfred's voice fell, Schiller nodded, but Batman looked at his old butler, in just two days, Fred figured out the general situation of hell, this Batman felt surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt normal.

When Batman first entered college, he was only 18 years old, and at this time, he had not yet had time to travel the world, except for some professional skills that needed to be taught by professionals, so he had to leave Gotham to study, all his insights and strategies came from Alfred.

At that time, Batman was still young, and he was immersed in the anger of avenging his parents, and he learned what Alfred taught, and did not think deeply about where Alfred's knowledge came from.

In addition, Batman is a genius, his learning ability and brain capacity are unparalleled in the world, until he ended his studies with Alfred and entered college, the things he learned were not too much for him.

But looking back now, the knowledge, strategies, and various abilities that were not too much for him were out of reach for ordinary people.

After going through all the events of his college career, Batman didn't feel that what Alfred taught him was weak, on the contrary, after going through all kinds of crazy people, villains, and bizarre events, Alfred got stronger and stronger. ….

In a city like Gotham, an elderly butler can keep all the property of the Wayne family and Wayne Manor while the husband and wife of the main family die at the same time, leaving only a young child, can raise Bruce smoothly, and also teach him almost all the skills needed for revenge, the more Batman understands Gotham, the more incredible it is.

But before, no matter how much he asked, Alfred would just smile and shake his head, and say to him like a child, "It's not that hard."

For a long time, Alfred has always been a successful and returning to his hometown to retire, Batman has brought up the topic of the Soviet Union several times, but Alfred showed a lack of interest, Batman thought that he had really completely lost his enthusiasm and no longer remembered his ideals and career.

It's not that Batman isn't curious about the true abilities of the old butler he's always respected, it's just that Alfred doesn't want to show it, and it's impossible for Batman to force him.

And this time, Batman knew that he had a good opportunity to renew Alfred

ignited enthusiasm, and wanted to take the initiative to do something for the first time.

He can finally get a glimpse of this ace agent and legendary butler when he was young, and see how his father, whom he has always respected and loved, came from the heavy snow and walked all the way through that iron-blooded and romantic era.

After listening to Alfred's explanation, Schiller crouched down, picked up a handful of sand from the side, sprinkled it on the table, spread the sand flat, and then used his fingers to draw the general terrain that Alfred said.

At this time, Alfred turned to look at Batman and said, "Batman, there is a torch that Merkel and I brought there, and there is a special oil on it that can burn for a long time......

"However, the torches are not convenient for lighting, can you make us an oil lamp?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Merkel stood up and said, "I'll go, I was trained in emergency lighting when I was in housekeeping school."

He went to fetch the torch that had hung on the log shelf, and Batman stood up and held out his hand to him, Merkel paused, but handed him the torch anyway.

Batman went to the side and brought a log and two pieces of iron that had been thrown away next to the scrap minecart, and sat back down at the table, cutting wood while listening to Schiller's explanation of the current situation.

Schiller pointed to the plate of the Barren Continent on the sand table, and said, "At present, Astro has declared war on Beelzebub, and the territory of the two of them, bordering on the northeast and southwest, is located on the east side of the Barren Continent."

"The territory of Azazaire and Belle is located on the southeast side of the barren continent, bordering north and south, while the territory of Azazel is bordered by the territory of Astro to the east and west because it is closer to the middle."

"Therefore, in this war, the position of Belel is very important."

"If he chooses to participate in the war, then he can choose to join forces with Beelzebub, who is farthest away from him, to deal with Astro and Azazel, who are closer to him, or he can choose to join forces with Astro to contain Azazel here, so that Astro can attack Beelzebub with confidence."

Schiller sketched four territories on the sand table, and at the same time, he dotted his hand on Bilie's territory, saying, "According to the information I received from the overseer, the place where we are is on the east side of the territory of proportions, that is, closer to the territory of Astro." ….

"This is the second largest mine in the territory of Belette, providing more than 30% of the metal ore source for Belette's army and equipment."

"And the demons who work here are divided into two categories, one is the aborigines here, who lived between the seven mountains before this became a mine, and when Belier's army occupied this place, they naturally became the miners under Belial's command."

"On the other hand, there are slaves captured by sandworms, just like us, and when it comes to that kind of giant sandworm, we have to mention the owner of this mine, the rotten general known as the 'animal tamer.'"

Alfred and Schiller looked at each other, and by this time, Batman had framed the oil lamp, and he took off the cloth soaked in the torch and placed it on the iron plate in the center of the frame, then relit it, placing the lantern in the center of the table.

"It's a strange thing." Schiller opened his mouth and said, "Batman didn't make any strategic comments or provide any information, aren't you going to say something to participate in the discussion?"

Batman shook his head, stared at the sand table on the table, and said, "Actually, I've always been curious about your so-called revolution, I haven't lived through that era, I don't know how it all happened."

"When I was in the slums, thinking about the future of Gotham, I used to think about how the October Revolution that led to the creation of that country came about?"

"Why, Gotham has rotted for so many years, and there is still no such soil, and why, you obviously want to improve the situation of Gotham, and you know more about those theoretical knowledge than me, but you don't choose to take such a path?" Batman looked at Schiller and asked.

Schiller shook his head and said, "Perhaps, you'll find out soon."

Alfred glanced at Batman and seemed to hesitate, but in the end he shook his head,

Didn't say anything.

"In that case, I want to see how this happened." Batman spoke, "For this reason, although I will help as much as I can, I will not express my opinion, nor will I use any abilities beyond ordinary people."

Did you know? Batman......" Schiller looked him in the eye again and said, "If you had learned to shut up like this, you would have been a good graduate long ago."

"If I had learned to shut up earlier, maybe I would have been a top graduate from another professor." Batman shook his head, apparently remembering the scene when he and Schiller first met.

Schiller shook his head, apparently also feeling that the past was unbearable, he returned his attention to the sand table on the table, and by the light of the oil lamp, he erased the map of hell, redrew the map of the Seven Hills Mine, and then spoke:

"Our first goal is to liberate the Seven Hills Mine, which doesn't seem difficult, but in reality, it's probably the hardest step of all our plans, because now there are only four of us...... Oh no, maybe three and a half people...... Or rather, two and a half people."

"Now, I'm announcing the first combat mission, Alfred and I have already entered the Overseer, and over the next two days, we will continue to communicate with the Overseer to get more information, especially to find out the situation of the Beast Tamer General Rotten Heart, who has all the sandworms in control." ….

"And Batman and Merkel, the two of you are responsible for going down to the bottom, starting with your roommates and co-workers, to figure out the ecology of the mine slaves, what they have, what they lack, and what they want most."

Schiller took one look at Batman, then at Merkel, and said, "I don't think it's too difficult for you guys, so there's an extra requirement."

"Because in hell there are many different races, different from human beings, and these races are very different from each other, and some of them are mutually reinforcing."

"In the next two days, you also have to figure out as much as possible the situation of all the races in the mine, who has enemies with whom, who has good relations with whom, not only the inter-ethnic relations, the people around you, but also their interpersonal relationships."

"I hope that in two days' time, we will all be able to complete our respective tasks and bring back the best news here."

As the lantern on the table gradually went out, the light shining on the sand table was only the faint point of light that appeared when the volcano erupted in the distance, and the entire mine was as silent as the sand table.

Batman stood at the door of the abandoned mine halfway up the mountain, looking down on the barren land, the quieter and darker it was, the more it reminded him of the hustle and bustle of Gotham.

After Schiller and Merkel left, only Alfred walked over, and this time, instead of standing behind Batman, he stood side by side with him.

"Do you think that's ridiculous?" Alfred still said in that gentle tone, but this time, Batman heard a kind of firmness in his words.

"We're going to do justice to the devil in Hell, just as you did in Gotham."

"In this world, there is no life that should not be saved, and all those ugliness, chaos and stupidity come from a common enemy."

Batman turned his head to look at Alfred, his eyes reflecting the firelight of the lava river in the distance.

"If we can save demons in hell, then you can save the Gotham people in Gotham, Batman......" Alfred looked at Batman and said to him in a determined tone:

You're not fighting alone."

Then he took another breath, turned his head back, lowered his eyes, looked at himself, and said:

"Me neither."
