Chapter 984: Battle for the Tower (XVIII)

Chapter 986 Battle for the Tower (XVIII)

In defensive operations, although there are more classic cases for reference, human power is sometimes limited, and so are demons. Under extremely unequal conditions, it is almost impossible to turn the tables in a defensive battle. It is just a matter of time.

The gate was breached, and Batman was not panicked, but seemed to be relieved, because he knew that the next battle would be his turn.

General Rotten Heart did not take this riot to heart. In his opinion, those miner slaves could not resist at all. The gap between races was real, and those naturally weak miners could not make any waves.

But he did not expect that this reversal would last for two days and one night. General Rotten Heart was almost mad. He had just promised His Majesty Belial that the team he led could go to battle at any time and would definitely become the sharpest spearhead on the front battlefield. But in a blink of an eye, there was a mess in his own mine, and his carefully trained elite soldiers could not beat the miners? ? ?

General Fuxin was able to get the second largest mine, which proved that he was not incompetent. He knew that this impossible thing happened suddenly, and there must be some tricks he didn't know.

So, he didn't rush to throw the commander into the magma, but reviewed the battle of attacking the mountain from beginning to end, and then found that there was a master on the opposite side.

As a general, Fuxin couldn't be ignorant of strategy and tactics. As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, experts see the doorway. Just from the first two rounds of probing and attacking, Fuxin knew that the person on the opposite side must have fought a war, and a hard battle.

He didn't know that Batman got the answer in advance. In the war he referred to, almost all kinds of bad situations happened, and not just once. There were all kinds of ways to deal with it, some effective, some ineffective, and some miraculous.

Batman only needs to make a brief summary and then do some localization, or even no localization, because no matter how weak the demon miner's physical strength is, it is much stronger than humans.

As the saying goes, holding a hammer makes everyone look like a nail. Batman, holding the answer, was very disappointed with the level of the so-called demon elite.

After discovering that the opponent's level was not low, General Fuxin guessed that this might be a conspiracy of other demon lords. They sent people to sneak into the mine secretly to provoke war and cause problems with Belial's armaments. The other party had evil intentions.

In this case, General Fuxin knew that he could not underestimate the enemy. The opponent was likely to be a veteran like him, so he took over the command at the first time, and at this time, the demon soldiers had just entered the mine.

After entering the mine, they were a little confused. There were more than a dozen forks in front of them, and each of them had no fortifications. The miners and slaves who had been violent before had all disappeared, and the whole mine was terribly quiet.

After this situation was reported back to the headquarters, General Fuxin was also a little confused. When he took over the mine, he got a map from the previous person, but it was only a rough map of the entire mine.

The entire mine was developed over thousands of years, and there were at least dozens of generals who took over. Everyone dug wherever there were more mines, and they didn't consider the route at all, so there was no specific map.

In general, no one thought that the miners would riot, so they were very careless. The problem was thrown to Fuxin, and the best way he could think of was to find an old miner to lead the way.

Unfortunately, all the old miners who were most familiar with the Central Square were now in the Central Mine.

His previous behavior of driving all the miners into the mine to work backfired. Otherwise, he could find a few old miners in the dormitory and other places. Now, he didn't even have anyone to show him the way.

He didn't know the route, but he had to go anyway. Because there were enough soldiers, Fuxin decided to split his troops into three groups and explore the three corridors in the middle first.

As soon as he entered the corridor, there was a problem. The largest heavily armored demon couldn't get in at all.

These passages were originally set up for miners, and no soldiers would rush into the depths, so the passages became narrower as they went deeper. Halfway through, the heavily armored soldiers got stuck.

The tallest lava demon in the mine was only five or six meters tall. They could pass through the three or four-meter-high mine by bending down, but those huge demon soldiers, who were almost ten meters tall including their armor, could not walk in the passages at all.

The magic-savvy demons who followed the team tried to widen the passages. At first, this method worked well, and they successfully passed through several passages.

And in the subsequent journey, the passages of hundreds of meters successfully exhausted all the magicians in the team. This method of widening one meter with one step was simply a waste of magic power.

The widened passages were about a few hundred meters long, but every road and every passage here were of similar specifications, and some were even smaller. If all the expansions were left to magicians, even the ace magic knights under Belial might not work.

Therefore, Fuxin had to give up the plan of letting the heavy armored soldiers enter the mine and assigned the small demons with light armor to enter.

Although these small demons were small in size, they were powerful and well-equipped. They had almost no chance of winning in a head-on battle, but no one fought them head-on.

In the first corridor, the leading team was choked back by smoke before they went far. Thick smoke suddenly emerged from the closed space and corridor. Many demons did not need to breathe and could hold their breath for a long time, but the problem was that this smoke also carried a kind of spores.

In simple terms, this is a poisonous gas. The unprepared demon soldiers were directly hit. After being choked back, about half of them lost their ability to move. The remaining half could only rely on the magician's defense shield to force their way in.

When they came to the upward steps, they encountered falling rocks. The small demons could not resist the attack of heavy rocks. They crawled out, but some were still crushed into meat paste.

Then there was ground collapse, spike traps, ceiling smashing, corner cold arrows...

If you bring these demon soldiers into the first-person perspective, the entire mine can be called Miyazaki Hidetaka's paradise. There is a trap every three steps and an ambush every five steps. These demon soldiers didn't see clearly where the things that attacked them came from, and they retreated with screams.

And to be able to do this, it is inseparable from the caves of the dwarf demons. These very small and weak demons have their own ecosystem in the mine, which is called rat holes.

The big tunnel is for normal miners to walk, but in order to quickly move in the mine, the dwarf demons also dug a set of their own rat holes, which are more complicated.

Perhaps it is a characteristic of any social creature with strong reproductive ability. They will deliberately design their own passages to be very complicated and extend in all directions. Almost every fork can lead to the destination they want.

Usually, these passages are hidden in all directions of the tunnel. Only demons like dwarf demons, who are very small and light in weight, can pass through them. This time, these passages have become a good helper for setting traps.

Even if the dwarf demons basically don’t understand the complicated trap setting methods, they still know how to stand in the passage, hold a spiked wooden stick, and stab into the gaps in the armor.

Being stabbed once may not be a big deal, but there are tens of thousands of dwarf demons in the mine, and they are still reproducing. If these demon soldiers want to write an autobiography after they go out, the title of their chapter will definitely be "You haven't been stabbed, you don't understand."

Fortunately, the demon soldiers have the ability to heal themselves and are accompanied by a wizard. Although various traps hindered their progress, they still reached the first large mine cave, which was the mine cave where Batman had been working before.

All the demon soldiers surrounded the mound in the middle. They could not see any enemies, but they felt that there were enemies everywhere, so they had to stay alert at all times to defend against possible attacks.

However, although the demons did not need to eat, drink or sleep, they also needed to rest. The two-day and one-night siege almost exhausted everyone's energy. They kept moving forward in the long and dark corridors, and they had to be on guard against traps at any time. The wounds kept healing and breaking. This was a psychological torture for any intelligent life.

In the end, the demons leading the team still announced a break, and while they were resting, a lot of slave miners suddenly rushed out of the corridors in all directions of the mine cave, holding various weapons or stones and throwing them at them.

These things were not very aggressive, but extremely insulting. The demons were all hot-tempered, and they chased after them in the tunnel without thinking. The miners who were familiar with the terrain disappeared in a flash, and the demons who rushed in encountered various traps.

The leader ordered not to pursue, but the demon miners just stood at the corner of the mine and threw things at them.

At first, it was okay, just throwing some spears and stones, some of which could not even break the defense of the demon soldiers, but later, they began to throw bombs seized from insect bombers, strange mucus, and poisonous spores...

Among the light soldiers, there were long-range professions such as archers, and the magic stone also had long-range attacks, but the group of miner slaves had other skills, but they didn't run fast. After throwing a wave, they immediately retreated, not giving them time to draw their bows or condense magic.

Because they were not familiar with the terrain, they couldn't catch up if they wanted to, and there were a lot of traps if they chased, but they were always harassed if they wanted to rest.

In fact, the leader also understood that the best way now was to withdraw completely, make a round of repairs, and then re-arrange personnel according to the situation in the mine.

But the problem is that they have come here. If they withdraw, they will not only have to go through those traps again, but they will also be consumed when they come back. After a while, this batch of soldiers will be completely useless.

The leader knows Fuxin's temper very well. If he goes back without any results, he will definitely not have a good end. If he continues to go deeper, he will be well protected, and those soldiers will die. If he can catch one or two planners, it will be his chance to make merit.

So, the leader decided to go deeper, and the offensive he faced next was no longer so gentle.

The traps after that no longer focused on killing, but tried to divert them. For example, spreading poisonous smoke in the center of the team, letting a group of people run forward and a group of people retreat. Suddenly, a trap appeared, pulling a demon soldier in and disappearing.

The tunnel was not spacious to begin with, so they could not form a formation, and could only move forward in a long snake formation, a typical Calabash Brothers saving grandfather formation, which resulted in the tail of the team not being able to take care of the head of the team, and the head of the team not being able to take care of the tail of the team. After a while, the snake was chopped into fine pieces, and two or three people were separated from the main group.

After that, they saw what real hell was, and Batman made sufficient plans for the battle in the mine.

First, let all the miners hide and never confront the enemy head-on. Then, through various harassments, they will consume the opponent's endurance and energy. Once the enemy starts to tire, they will cut the large army into small pieces and defeat them one by one.

Once they lose their numerical advantage, two or three demon soldiers cannot withstand the punches of so many miner slaves. Once they want to run away, they will be overtaken by the miner slaves who are very familiar with the terrain. It can be said that there is no way to the sky. There is no way to enter the ground.

That's right, the answer given by Batman is only one sentence: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.

The battle slowed down a bit, and Batman, who was alone reflecting on the battle plan, raised his head. In the dark mine space, he saw that the black-and-white old-fashioned movie was still playing, and the clanging sound of wheels running across the rails became more urgent. , the horn passed through the smoke and echoed on the ancient land.

One figure after another, walking across mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, towards the vast land in the distance, their backs are like the wind that has been blowing on this land for thousands of years, never to return.

Also standing in the abandoned mine, Schiller and Alfred smelled the smoke of gunpowder in the distant wind.

"You traveled thousands of miles, planned and planned, even if you gave yourself a knife, you also wanted to drag Batman to hell, just to let him participate in the war?" Alfred turned to look at Schiller and asked.

"Batman has learned a lot, even Gotham." Schiller sighed slightly and looked at the river of lava flowing in the distance. He said, "However, learning a city is not enough to use his amazing talent. ”

"The darkness of Gotham is deep, but not vast. Learning Gotham is just the first step for a genius to take the cradle."

"No one likes war." Schiller was silent for a while and then said: "However, the tempering of iron and blood in war will fundamentally shape a person's character."

"The constant pursuit of artillery fire and gunpowder smoke, the sacrifices and deaths that occur before our eyes, the love and hate, love and hatred that seem particularly grand in the era, will truly change a person."

"Those entanglements, hesitations and confusions in the ego will eventually be washed away into fragments by the overlapping war waves and the vast and grand war epic, and then be cast into steel-like souls."

Schiller lowered his head again and said in a low tone: "Through the endless smoke of war, he will see the heroic ambitions of more great people."

"One day, he will understand that if his goal is only to save Gotham, then he will never be able to compare with the giants who stand proudly in the long history of mankind."

Schiller's sigh dispersed with the wind and disappeared into the ancient desolate land, disappearing without a trace like a gust of wind.

"If he can't come out of the war-torn world, he will never understand..."

"How amazingly courageous are those sages who once sank in the stormy winds and huge waves, so that in the troubled times when everyone was in danger, they could make an earth-shattering cry - dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky."
