The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 993 Battle for the Tower (25)
Even though Batman thinks this must be some kind of Schiller's plan again, he still has to go and rescue Schiller, because the one who captured Schiller is General Rotten Heart, and he will have to deal with General Rotten Heart sooner or later.

Moreover, Schiller's weak state before made him always have a doubt in his heart. He didn't know what happened to Schiller's inexplicable state later, and he didn't know that when he was facing a powerful demon general , Will this state affect his performance?

Merkel immediately wanted to rush into the tunnel and confront General Rotten Heart head-on, but Batman stopped him, and he said in a deep voice: "Now is not a good time to catch up. General Rotten Heart must not have come alone. If we In the past, it happened to be surrounded by the army."

"But...but..." Merkel stomped his feet anxiously, gritted his teeth and said, "It's all my fault, if I hadn't cut down the broccoli, Mr. Schiller's allergies wouldn't be so severe !"

"Do you really think that his current state is entirely due to allergies?" Batman asked while pulling Merkel back.

Merkel opened her mouth, but said with some hesitation: "I can't disclose the privacy of my employer... Well, the situation is special now, don't you think Mr. Schiller has become a little more... well, how should I put it? Crazier?"

Batman looked at him, and Merkel said to herself: "When I first met Mr. Schiller, I found that he was a bit rigid, taciturn, but very reliable. I have seen many such people in the UK." gentlemen."

"He is a lover of detective literature. He likes to arrange all kinds of puzzles and then solve them by himself. Occasionally, he needs me to solve them, but I always break through violently. I didn't expect that he could bear me. so long."

"Although he looks a little serious, his temper is not weird, and he gets along well with everyone, but..." Merkel paused, as if she didn't know if she was saying behind her back that her employer was Kind of bad, but he said anyway: "Don't you notice? Mr. Schiller's mental state is becoming more and more unstable."

"The broccoli incident this time is just the trigger for the outbreak. Before that, there were many precursors." Merkel shook her head and said.

Batman recalled it carefully, and he found that it was indeed the case. When he first started dealing with Schiller, although Schiller was a fairly responsible teacher, he was similar to most university teachers. Attend get out of class, leave after class, and hardly communicate with any students.

Batman remembers that in the first semester, he deliberately made his grades bad, but Schiller didn't care. In the second semester, he deliberately completed one subject to create a feeling that he was cheating. , to consolidate his playboy personality, but Schiller didn't say anything.

However, he only enjoyed the past two years. From his junior year, Schiller started to pay close attention to his grades for some reason. Not only Bruce Wayne's grades, but also other students were tortured to death by him.

It stands to reason that freshmen, freshmen and sophomores are the most critical time to lay the foundation. It is unreasonable to let the students slack off at this time, and only think of getting grade points when they have learned almost all the classes and are about to practice.

But in senior year, things became even more uncontrollable. Schiller had a kind of obsessive obsession with thesis. In the process of discussing the thesis with Schiller, Batman found that he seemed a little paranoid, often because of punctuation. Paragraph and phrasing issues kept Batman revising for hours.

At that time, Batman thought that Schiller didn't want him to be a street hero, so he did it.

But later, he realized that Schiller was not only catching him as a man-made disaster, he almost used up his rest time, and had such a long mutual torture with every student who could write a thesis.

This is indeed mutual torture, because not only Batman knows, Schiller and the students themselves know that they can't go on such a professional path, they don't have this talent, and they won't be willing to put in more effort for it , It is absolutely impossible to have any achievements, but Schiller still has to demand that ridiculously high professional level from them, which is actually meaningless at all.

Although Batman is not sure that he is sick, he is very sure that Schiller is sick.

At present, it seems that there should be more manifestations of the autism spectrum, but it will also be accompanied by some obsessive-compulsive manifestations of anxiety attacks from time to time.

Has Schiller's mental illness worsened?Batman walked back while thinking about this issue. Although healers cannot heal themselves, there should be no incidents that would cause Schiller's mental state to continue to deteriorate.

However, he did agree with Merkel that it was no accident that the broccoli incident made Schiller so weak.
It is very likely that the mental pressure accumulated for a long time broke out at one point, causing Schiller to have an extremely serious stress response, which caused him to have such a serious externalized performance.

Thinking of this, Batman quickened his pace, and returned to the mine of the soldiers with Merkel, explaining to Alfred what they saw just now.

Alfred nodded and said: "Indeed, we have to hurry up and deal with General Corruption Heart. As long as he is in the mine for a day, we will not be able to develop our power steadily."

"Now, the overall situation in hell is changing rapidly. Belial did not adopt the strategy of combining vertical and horizontal forces as we imagined, but declared war on several surrounding countries at the same time. Not all generals agree with this decision, and the internal situation is getting worse. It's getting tense."

"Only in troubled times can we become kings, we must seize this opportunity." Alfred looked at Batman with his eyes, and then said: "This may be the only time you can personally participate in a regular large-scale army battle. This is a rare opportunity for anyone who needs to study military theory."

Batman nodded, obviously also aware of the importance of this war. The three people present knew very well that what happened to demons has nothing to do with human beings. No matter how great their Sacred Heart is, what they want to liberate is all human beings. Not all hell or all heaven.

But the reason why they want to participate in this war is to practice their ideals on the one hand. Since in the real world, some things are no longer possible, then another way to verify the correctness of their theories is for them. It is also an excellent opportunity to study this theory more deeply and improve one's own thinking.

On the other hand, in order to provide Batman with a chance to exercise, although Batman's previous idea was a bit like persecution paranoia, after learning about the existence of a wider world and mysterious magic, Batman has a kind of He had a hunch that sooner or later, he would have to devote himself to a wider world and personally experience the magnificent war epic.

It will be too late to practice at that time. Once such a disaster befalls human beings, every minute and every second is a crisis of survival, and he must have the ability to make a final decision.

Batman has made up his mind, and almost no one can stop him. He is responsible for strategic planning and tactical arrangements, which is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the mine force, while Merkel is responsible for ideological guidance and training, which is equivalent to the political commissar of the mine force.

Batman wanted Alfred to be in charge of ideological guidance, but Alfred shook his head and gave the opportunity to Merkel. He explained: "In any case, I am a spy. For a long time, my thinking has been more towards intelligence warfare."

"It's not that I can't change the direction of my thinking, but I am worried that there are still unfinished business in the real world that require my efforts. Once my way of thinking changes and affects the decision-making of a key decision, it may be difficult. with catastrophic consequences."

"On the contrary, Merkel has not achieved any outstanding achievements in espionage. He is more inclined to fight alone, but this just makes him a blank sheet of paper. If he can have the ability to unite people in large-scale operations ability, then it will neither affect his current job, but also lay a solid foundation for the future."

Batman nodded his head to express his understanding. The old butler had been brilliant in the past. To be able to compete with Philby on the same stage, his spy warfare skills must have been perfected. After working like this for half his life, there must be some thinking patterns that are solidified. But it's not all bad.

Long-term espionage work will train keen intuition and conditioned reflexes. Sometimes, these inadvertent intuitions can save lives.

But if you forcibly change your thinking mode in a very urgent situation, it is very likely that this precious intuition will be worn away. If you need to use it in the future, it will be troublesome.

Although Batman doesn't want Alfred to participate in those dangerous jobs at all, he also knows that he can't stop such people.

Be it Merkel or Alfred, after learning about their ideals, Batman knew that he had no chance to convince them.

Therefore, Alfred was in charge of logistics. Although demons don't need to eat, drink, and scatter, equipment manufacturing, trap making, and intelligence exploration are also very important. Alfred is also quite proficient in this,
After determining the basic division of labor, the three got busy in an orderly manner. Among the three, although Batman did not have much practical experience in strategy and tactics, his theory and wisdom were top-notch, and Alfred was in charge of logistics. Few people know logistics better than Batman's butler.

The only one who is slightly unfamiliar is Merkel. He has no practical experience in ideological guidance and is not proficient in military training, but fortunately, he learns quickly.

Moreover, his good skills and the professional knowledge he had learned allowed him to train his own vanguard squad, which was quite effective whether it was used for reconnaissance or combat.

The central mine has completely collapsed, but the second mountain, the third mountain and the fifth mountain are all connected now. The fifth mountain is the second largest mine, and there is a very large mine that can be used for stationing troops and training .

The combination of the three mountains also has a greater defense depth. Batman's tunnel warfare tactics, after more full cooperation and drills, have exerted greater effects. Not long after, a small number of demon soldiers were stationed in the fourth The mountain was also taken down.

However, because the sixth and seventh mountains are closer to the garrison field of General Rotten Heart, after the accident in the central mine, the army directly occupied the sixth and seventh mountains. Among them, the sixth mountain still has room for relaxation, but the seventh Mountains are the hardest nuts to crack.

That is where General Rotten Heart's castle and Big Eyeball are located. After Schiller was taken away by General Rotten Heart, the tunnel they dug before was completely destroyed. General Rotten Heart also set up a magic circle underground to defend against tunnel warfare, and He sent heavy troops to guard it, and built a large defensive camp next to it.

And if you attack the mountain from the ground, you will encounter the same situation as the previous central mine. Batman stood in front of the sand table, staring at the position of the seventh mountain. After thinking about all the tactics in his mind, he found that he wanted to take the seventh mountain. Seven mountains, there is no shortcut.

Then, next, there will be a tough battle to fight.
