Chapter 982: Battle for the Tower (16)
Standing on top of the highest mound of earth, Batman looked down at all the demons and said in a deep voice, "The Shadow Demon in the Mine witnessed everything just now, and if what the Overseer said is true, then by now, General Rotten Heart may have known that there was a riot in the Mine, and the matter is irreparable."
When his words fell, many demons began to tremble, and the main reason why these demons stayed in the mines for a long time and became slaves in the mining was because their race was very flawed, and they could not compete with the soldiers at all, and once there was a conflict, they could only wait for death on the spot.
In hell, races are not created equal.
The troll is tall and has strong arms, and can also use tools, but because of its bone structure, it does not have enough support for its lower limbs, moves slowly, and does not turn flexibly, so there is no way to escape.
The snake demons have a strong ability to bounce and burst quickly in a short period of time, but their snake tails are not suitable for long-distance marching, so they cannot migrate.
Red Demons have a similar body structure to humans and have a relatively balanced development, but in Hell, being too small is the biggest drawback.
Not to mention the flaws of dwarf demons, shadow monsters, and other subsidiary demons that are clear at a glance, the gap between demons and demons is even greater than the gap between demons and humans.
The reason why these flawed demon races have not been eliminated in natural evolution is because hell, like heaven, belongs to the high demon environment, and most demons do not need to spend half of their daily time on food and sleep to maintain their survival, just like humans.
Even the weakest demons don't need to drink water, they can eat a meal for three to four days, and all demons don't need to sleep, although they will also feel mentally tired and nervous, and need to relax and have fun, but in extreme environments, they will last much longer than humans.
The reproduction methods of many demons are not as troublesome as humans, such as shadow monsters and other demons, are born naturally and do not need to mate, and the base number of demon mouths has always been very stable.
The reproduction of dwarf devils is even simpler, they are parthenogenesis, and when they reach adulthood, they do not need to mate, and they can start reproducing immediately.
2~3 offspring are born in about a month, from birth to sexual maturity, but about a year, because the hell environment is too harsh, the survival rate of cubs is not high, but Rao is so, and you can see this group of little devils in almost every corner of hell.
However, this kind of demon has almost no combat ability, and the system in hell is basically a militaristic state, and the vast majority of it is a classical militaristic state, that is, all the people are soldiers, and everything serves the war.
In this case, the demons who are not capable of participating in the army's battles are naturally at the bottom of the food chain, either as slaves in the mines, coolies in the smelters, or sent out as cannon fodder when the war is tense.
This group of people has been like this for generations, and they don't have any sense of resistance, here, there is no way to shout the sentence "The prince and the prince will be like this", because the prince and the general in hell are indeed much stronger than ordinary demons.
For example, ancient demons are a large category of demons, basically all humanoid demons can be called ancient demons, they are the bloodline descendants of God's creation, although their size is not too big, and they do not look vicious on the outside, but they can use magic to control the power of the origin of hell. ….
It is this power that the mages of humans trade with demons, and the demons with this power want to kill these ordinary demons who are born with flaws, and even the powerful demon lord can directly destroy a city by unleashing a large devouring magic.
There are many theories that the reason why human beings still have the opportunity to develop in peace is because the differences between individuals and between ethnic groups have not reached the point of absolute crushing, and only in this way will individual human beings and societies continue to pursue justice.
If a certain group of people and a certain race, without relying on society, are born with the power to crush 90% of other individuals, then all the rules and morals have no meaning to them, and the other individuals will no longer have any room to live.
But now, Batman has a hellish difficulty in front of him
Question, these weak races in front of them, who are naturally flawed, have just taken the first step of resistance, but next, they have to face an enemy who is several times stronger than them in terms of equipment, strength, wisdom, and discipline.
In this case, can the collective really be greater than the individual? Does solidarity really work? Is it really a good choice to join forces to resist?
Batman doesn't know the answers to these questions yet, but if he takes this step, it means that there is no turning back.
He wasn't one to waste too much time in philosophical thinking, so he jumped down with his whip and said to everyone, "Now, everybody come to me to unshackle them, and we're going to block all the gates of the mine so that no one can get in......
At this moment, the Elder of the Snake Demon slid over with his tail wagging, and he spoke in a hoarse voice, "If we block the gate, it is true that those overseers will not be able to enter for a while, but if the entire central mine is out of the control of the Corrupt General, he will definitely be angry and send a powerful army here......
The old man shook his head and said, "We can't be the opponent of those soldiers and demons, as long as we have a heavily armed squad, we can kill everyone here."
But Batman looked at him and said, "That's why I have to block the gate, although this may irritate General Corrupt Heart, but once the central mine is cut off from the outside world, General Corrupt Heart will definitely think that the entire mine has defected."
"In addition to our mine, there are more than 60 mines in the entire central mine, and in the lowest mine, there are many powerful lava demons, sludge demons, dark red trolls, and so on."
"They're still in the dark, and all I'm going to do is block the gate and pull them along with the rebels."
Elder Snake Demon suddenly realized, and he said, "That's right, if the Central Mine is cut off from the outside world now, then the Overseer and the Corrupt Heart General will definitely feel that all the demons here have collectively rebelled, even if the demons in the other mines have not done so......
"Then, when they attack the mines, they will not distinguish between friend and foe, they will only throw all the demons in the mines into the magma, and once the other demons know this, they can only unite and resist the corrupt general......"....
"yes, I just want to get everyone on board." Batman whispered, "I don't believe that General Rotten Heart dares to use magic to blow up the entire mine."
"Now, the demon lord Belie is in a hurry to send troops to the front line, if something happens to the Qishan Mine and he becomes the first bird, General Rotten Heart must have no good fruit to eat, so he must maintain stability and not make too much noise, and at the same time, he also needs enough manpower to help him mine to complete his promise to Belie."
"Together, these factors are our chance to turn defeat into victory, and this war may be the breakthrough."
After Batman finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the depths of the mine, he left the whip for the Elder Snake Demon to open the shackles on everyone's hands, while he himself went to the other mines to inform the other demons.
Although the gate is not completely blocked now, but in Batman's mouth, this has become a battle, he painfully stated the benefits and disadvantages to the demons in other mines, the central idea is one, I have pulled everyone to rebel, if you don't rebel, you will also be beaten into a chaotic party, and then thrown into the magma, waiting for death, the death of the country?
Most of the demons didn't understand why he wanted to resist General Rotten Heart, but now, the facts were in front of him, the madman fired the first shot, the head of the chief overseer Jacob became a tribute to the flag, the gate of the central mine was blocked, and all the demons in the mine were forced to go to Liangshan.
This trick really worked, and most of the demons, after the initial anger and fear, had to start looking for a way out, and the first thing they had to do was to find out all the overseers in the mine and kill them.
If you don't do it, let's say that you must not let this group of overseers run to complain, even if they die early or late, they will die, and the overseers will have to die in front of them.
After killing the overseer who had been oppressing them, many demons seemed to be ignited with bloodthirsty instincts, especially the stronger and older ones, and they began to roar and roar, as if they were there
The same as the demon soldiers on the battlefield.
If you don't do it, you don't stop doing it, the overseers have already been killed, and there is no need for the Eye Demons to stay, and the demons follow their boiling blood and the constant flow of killing desires, and dig out all the Eye Demons and kill them.
Countless demons surrounded the underground magma sea, pounding the ground with their hands, constantly roaring, and one after another corpses were thrown into the magma sea, the roar getting louder and louder, and the desire in their eyes became stronger and stronger.
All the openings in the central mine were blocked, and during this time, many overseers came to check on the situation, trying to break through the gate violently.
However, the overseer is not a particularly powerful demon, under the militaristic system, the really capable demon has long been prominent in the army, even if he does not take the orthodox promotion route, he can join the elite army of the corrupt general, instead of being an overseer who is not up or down.
It is precisely because their abilities are stronger than ordinary demons, but they are not up to the military rank, that they will come to such a position, therefore, they do not master any powerful range magic, and the only whip that can reflect their strength does not have a very good effect on the gate built with ore.
But everyone knew that such a tentative attack was just an appetizer, and sure enough, on the third day after the blockade of the Central Mines, the official troops under General Rotten Heart appeared. ….
At the very top of the central mine, Batman commanded the demon to build several watchtowers, and the information of the troops flew through the sky like a streamer, lighting up all the watchtowers one after another.
In just half a day, the Central Mine was already under siege, and in the largest cave in the Central Mine, the representatives of all kinds of demons had serious faces and solemn expressions, but they did not have much fear.
In these three days, they were not unprepared, killing the overseers and sacrificing the flag, arousing blood, Batman organized all races to show their abilities and build fortifications, and the demons performed their duties and took the initiative to train their troops, and several drills had good results, which greatly improved their confidence.
Batman jumped to the top of the mound again, and as he looked around, he knew that the situation had reached an extremely critical moment, and this would be the beginning of hell as it was.
At the top, Batman has only one person, no military advisor, no staff team, and even a decent command can't be organized, and at the bottom, both the number of soldiers and the quality of soldiers are far from the other party.
Batman was born in an era that has been a long time since the last major war of mankind, so he has never experienced large-scale war, and has neither strategic reserves nor actual combat experience.
The quality of the soldiers is very poor, the body is not strong enough, the thinking is not flexible enough, there is almost no education, and there is no actual combat experience.
In terms of equipment and logistics, there are a lot of ores here, but there is no means of smelting at all, and the material resources are abundant, but they can't hold it, and everything is in vain.
In this way, it is almost impossible to win a war, but Batman has not lost faith.
Because, in his brain, which has studied the past and the present and is full of knowledge, there has always been a fragment of history that has really happened to mankind.
Before Batman's eyes, many images flashed like old movies, train wheels rolling over the tracks, assembled horns piercing through the smoke of gunpowder, the same rush to war, the same desperate all-round gap.
When the strong ships and cannons opened the door of the ancient Oriental country, a staggering, painful but legendary history told Batman what kind of people and how they won one miraculous battle after another, so that they could be called hell and dare to change the sky.
