Chapter 989: The Battle for the Tower (23)

Batman closed his eyes, and he felt himself falling, falling into the vast amount of knowledge in his mind.

Schiller has a tower-like temple of mind, and so does Batman.

He stored all the knowledge he had learned in a huge library, and when he leapt from the top of the library, the essence of human knowledge surrounded him.

Picture after piece of history flashed before his eyes, the Enlightenment, the Paris Commune, the October Revolution...... The figures standing in the crowd preaching one after another dazzled him.

Throughout history, throughout the ages, behind every drastic change, there is inseparable from the guidance of thought, those pioneers inspiring words, pointing out the country, can really arouse people's resonance, is always the great ideal in their mouths.

When he really experienced the life at the bottom, Batman knew that saving Gotham was not just about raising everyone with his own money, he would always die one day.

He can't be a king who hands over the dynasty to the next generation, because the law of dynastic fate tells Batman that this is an endless cycle, maybe the pioneers are ambitious, but the next generation, the next generation, a few generations later, the dragon slayer brave, and eventually become a dragon.

But in order to save Gotham from the soul and spirit, and to awaken people from their numbness, it is necessary to have an ideal that is as bright as the sun and a strong enough guiding ideology.

Will he be able to create a mind?

Batman doesn't know that his intelligent brain allows him to answer almost all technical questions in this world in an instant, but when it comes to philosophy, sociology, and psychology, he always has a feeling of powerlessness.

If you have to describe it specifically, it is that he understands all the principles and memorizes the theories, but once he wants to bring in the feelings of other people, other classes, and other groups, Batman only has an indifferent and stereotypical bystander perspective.

Since he consciously began to study, he has almost never really put himself in his shoes, and there has always been a thick wall between his emotions and those of others.

Batman didn't know if it was normal, but it seemed that he was vaguely, in a trance, not quite sure, not sure, Schiller had said that he was sick.

Batman has always thought that this is an ordinary fragment of Schiller's equal language style of breaking everyone's defense, at least, in Batman's own feelings, his relationship with Schiller is only divided into three parts, suspicion, essays, and Schiller's swearing.

Moreover, because Schiller is also one of the Jokers, Batman doesn't know if every time Schiller scolds him for being sick, is the madman who always laughs and has a personal vendetta.

He never thought about whether Schiller, as a fully licensed psychiatrist, was seriously diagnosing him.

Thinking of this, Batman suddenly wanted to go to Schiller, but as soon as he was about to put it into practice, the two dwarf devils staggered to the campfire and shouted, "Oh no! Merkel! Yes...... There's a strange group of demons that have fenced us off!

When Batman came back to his senses, Merkel's voice came from his ears: "It seems that after the collapse of the central mine, that group of people chased here, forget it, anyway, we are almost ready, let's get ready to do it!" ”

To Batman's surprise, the two little devils didn't ask anything, just nodded, and then ran away with a puff of smoke, Batman paused a little hesitantly, but still asked, "Did you let them deliver the order?" Are you sure they won't ......."

Batman's words didn't come out, Merkel had already understood what he meant, and he said: "I know, you're worried, these little guys have confused language and logic, and their brains are not very clear, but it doesn't matter, I've trained them in a targeted manner." ”

"The word 'hands-on' came to the ears of different groups. It means different jobs, and I tell them that as soon as I say the word, each group will do the assigned work that I have assigned. ”

"They don't need to know what it means to do it, they just need to memorize the syllable of the word, and when they hear it, they just need to do it."

Merkel shrugged her shoulders and stood up, and as soon as Batman wanted to speak, he said, "Sounds a bit like dog training, right?" But in fact, many times the agent also communicates orders in this way, and when he hears the specified word, he goes to do things, and asking too many questions is not good for anyone. ”

Batman asked, "Didn't you say before that the agent training you did wasn't the kind of training that completely obeyed orders?" ”

Merkel smiled and turned around and said: "The ideal is great, but on the way to realize the ideal, it must be combined with the actual situation. ”

Watching Merkel walk towards the mine, Batman found that the butler, who was much younger than Alfred, had the same temperament as Alfred, that is, it seemed that no matter what the question, they could find a logical and self-consistent answer.

Could it be that the kind of theory they are learning can really give all the answers in this world? But if that's the case, why did Alfred never take the initiative to teach him?

Batman felt some negative emotions in himself, he didn't know if it was a grievance, but he still didn't understand why Alfred could discuss that kind of thinking with Schiller and Merkel, but never take the initiative to mention it when facing him?

Is he dumber than Schiller and Merkel?

Of course, Batman could not accept this speculation, geniuses are always proud, and he decided, before looking for Schiller, to go to his dear butler first and ask him why, for so many years, on this issue, has been evasive.

Batman quickened his pace and caught up with Merkel, and at the same time, he also saw the fortifications built by the demons he led here, to his surprise, the fortifications built by Merkel were actually not clever, and it could even be said that there were a lot of omissions.

Batman didn't know if he did it on purpose, and he didn't plan to break it, but unexpectedly, Merkel stood next to the mound, scratched his head and said: "At the beginning, I have never won the battlefield deduction, and it is the first time for me to engage in such a big battle, and I don't know ......if it will work."

Batman hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Merkel, and said, "Wait a minute, don't let them lean over first, there is something wrong with the location of your trap......"

Batman pulled Merkel and walked to the open space next to him, picked up a handful of sand from the mound, sprinkled it on the ground, outlined the general shape of the mine, and then began to explain: "The gate of the mine in the third mountain is very small, and many heavy demons can't enter, and some of these traps you have laid require heavy prey to trigger, which is a complete waste, so you need to improve the trigger mechanism......"

Merkel squatted next to him and listened carefully, and when Batman finished speaking, he immediately arranged for someone to do it, and then, he shook Batman's hand and said sincerely: "You are really more experienced, Comrade Wayne, thank you so much, if it weren't for you, we would definitely lose a lot this time." ”

Batman didn't care about being polite with him, he hoped that these demons he brought could also participate in the defensive battle to improve their combat experience, when he put forward his idea, Merkel agreed, but after really putting into battle, Batman found that the problem was very big.

The demons on Merkel's side are methodical, and Batman's side is more experienced, so their performance is okay, but after a long time, the gap is revealed.

The demons on Batman's side are very typical of not pushing and not moving, Batman said to them, they will go wherever they have to go, and they will do whatever Batman tells them to do.

It's not that Batman hasn't tried to become a group, and then select leaders and conduct hierarchical leadership, but on the one hand, the overall quality of these demons is not very good, and a tall one can't be pulled out of a group of dwarfs, on the other hand, the leader is barely selected, and the orders are passed in a mess.

Whether it will pass on is one thing, and whether to listen to orders or not is another, many demons who have become team members can't understand this form of leadership in a group system at all, Batman explained a lot to them, such as grouping is to improve efficiency, and selecting leaders is to convey orders.

The demons listening to the lecture below were silent for a while, and then began to talk, and the content of their discussion made Batman head and two.

"Oh, I see! So, Lord Batman has chosen a new Overseer! They gave us orders, we worked, and I didn't know if I had said that earlier? ”

"Forget it, let's listen to what the overseer wants us to do, I hope this work is not too tiring......"

"Look, I'll just say we still have to mine, let's go, let's go......"

Batman took a deep breath, he felt a little powerless from the bottom of his heart, not because these demons were stupid, after all, the demons who were similar to these demon races, under Merkel's hands, could understand what unity and division of labor were.

After observing for a while, Batman found that the biggest difference between the two groups is that the demons led by Merkel know very well that they are doing things for themselves, and they are doing their current work so that they will no longer be bullied by the overseers, no longer be mutilated by family and friends, and destroy their homes.

But the group of demons led by Batman, they always feel that they are being driven by others to do something, even if no one forces them with violence, they will very consciously put the people who drive them in a higher position, and then make up for the forced employment relationship by themselves, and resign themselves to work.

Batman thought, perhaps, this is the gap between whether it is guided by ideology or not, if he takes the money now and asks the people at the bottom of Gotham to do this and that for him, then it may indeed achieve results in a short period of time, just like his victory in the Central Mine.

It may seem that the employment relationship is voluntary, and they can choose to earn the money or they can choose not to do it, but in reality, they have no choice.

Even in reality, it is not that they will starve to death if they don't earn this money, but the long-term shackles of their minds will make them feel that they can't afford to take the risk of not earning this money, so they will earn it.

The Wayne Group will indeed give money, because the person who leads the group is called Bruce Wayne, that is, Batman, but if the person who leads the group is not Batman, he doesn't give money, and this group of people doesn't have any sense of resistance, they can only blame themselves for their bad luck, and then resign themselves to fate.

Thinking of this, Batman felt that his head began to hurt, and in order to divert his attention, he began to do his best to command his demons, see the needles to help Third Mountain resist the attack of the demon soldiers, and teach Merkel the geographical tactics that he had achieved success.

Merkel was shocked by this, and at the same time, her admiration for Batman's tactical acumen rose to a new level, and just as the war was in the middle of the war, Batman reminded Merkel: "The reason why the central mine collapsed was because someone released magic in the magma layer underground, causing the magma to break through the mountain, and we must be careful about this......"

"Don't worry, I've already dug out the underground escape passage and conducted a retreat drill, in case of an accident, we can go directly through the underground passage to the second mountain where Alfred is located."

"Moreover, as far as I know, the demon race that can do magic wants to release powerful magic, and it is not without a price, and it takes a lot of power to trigger magma, and it is impossible for them to reproduce the second ...... in a short time."

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
