Chapter 989: Battle for the Tower (Twenty-Three)

"Hello, I'm Schiller, Schiller Rodriguez. I believe you have seen the tower that fell in the center of the battlefield, right?"

"Hello, I'm Schiller Rodriguez. Did you see the tower that fell before? Did you feel the soul power on it?"

"Hello, I'm Schiller..."

"Hello..."

Many completely consistent voices sounded in the palaces of various demon lords. One after another, Schiller appeared in front of the demon lords and became their guests of honor.

Of course, each piece of Schiller's soul fragment is very tempting, but all demon lords can also think that one of the soul fragments is so tempting, then if they can get all of them...

The area is vast, and there are many demon lords, but there are not many demon lords with names. To become a famous demon lord, either you have a very vast territory or you have a very strong personal strength. In many cases, both must be obtained.

To obtain both, one must either be old enough like the demon Belial, occupy the territory early, develop for a long time, and naturally become more powerful, or be like Azazel, be strong enough, and have never been defeated in the battle of hell, so naturally enjoy a great reputation.

These famous demon lords all have ideas about Satan's position, but the reason why they did not take action immediately is because they did not want to be the first to stand out and were afraid of being attacked by others.

This time, when Astro took action, many demon lords began to contact each other and wanted to unite to defeat Astro.

Because they knew that if Lucifer did not appear, they would be almost uncontrolled and could freely develop their own strength, but if Astro took over, they would inevitably be suppressed and might even be eliminated.

On the issue of survival, the demons are still relatively united. Many quasi-first-class demon lords have united and plan to form a coalition to attack Astro and organize him to launch a war for the position of Satan.

However, the tower that fell from the sky broke their unity. Of course, all the demon lords wanted to get the tower. The already famous demon lords wanted to use it to improve their strength, while the demon lords who had not yet reached the first-class level wanted to take the tower and become famous in one fell swoop.

At this time, a man who called himself Schiller Rodriguez came to them. Of course, the demon lords did not forget that it was this man named Schiller who claimed that he could pay off all of Constantine's debts.

From Schiller's mouth, they learned that the reason why Schiller dared to speak so arrogantly was because he had the ability to divide one into many. In addition to the fragments with some energy, the tower itself was equivalent to an extremely active soul, that is, the entire tower was equivalent to a big gift package.

According to the news brought by Schiller, the soul characteristics in the tower will rush to the palace of Constantine's creditors in about a month to repay Constantine's debts, but he, that is, Schiller who ran out in advance, was unwilling to accept such a fate.

He hoped that the entire tower and this power could serve a wise monarch, so he ran out in advance to find a wise monarch, and after searching for him for thousands of times, Your Majesty, you must be the son of destiny I am looking for.

All Schillers have a set of rhetoric, and these well-known demon lords have high wisdom and corresponding greed. They do want to recover the debts lent to Constantine, but they want to recover the rewards of others as well.

When the investment fails, everyone wants to protect the principal, but when there is no pressure to protect the principal, everyone wants to make a profit. If there is a slight profit, they will think about making a lot of money. All intelligent creatures are the same. Greed is their nature.

In the eyes of the demon lords, the tower has reached hell. Falling from the cliff, it is definitely impossible to escape. In other words, Schiller has actually completed the contract and paid off all debts for Constantine.

Then, it should be a time for everyone to rely on their own abilities. The amount of money lent does not mean that the amount must be rigidly recovered. I can recover ten times the price, which means that I am capable. You cannot recover the money you lent, that is because you are weak. Survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle are the unchanging laws in hell.

So, all the demon lords who were found by Schiller were ready to move.

Of course, Schiller also reached a deal with all the demon lords. Schiller would provide the demon lords with all the information about the tower and try his best to help them win in this war. After obtaining the soul in the tower or the tower itself, the demon lord would ensure the safety of Schiller who reached a deal with him.

In the eyes of the demon lord, this deal is very cost-effective, because there is not much power in a soul fragment. After swallowing it, it can only satisfy the greed for a while. It is better to be patient. Even if you can't get the complete tower, it is much better to snatch back a few more fragments than a small piece.

And Schiller's subsequent performance did not disappoint them. Whether it was gathering intelligence, sending out reconnaissance troops, analyzing terrain, and infiltrating the battlefield, they did it with ease.

In addition, the Schillers have their own strengths. Some are good at internal finance. In a few nights, they calculated the contracts and bad debts that the demons had accumulated for thousands of years. Some are good at accounting. In a few words, they explained clearly how to balance the estimated income and military expenditures for the next thousand years.

Some Schillers are good at negotiation. They can not only participate in the negotiation process of the demons and humans to reach a deal and strive for the greatest benefits, but also analyze allies and enemies, make alliances, and negotiate with other demon lords to reach a strategic alliance.

Some Schillers are good at internal affairs. They can solve the problem of checks and balances between the various factions under the demon lords, adjust internal conflicts, and make all demons think and work together.

But the same thing is that all Schillers have a high enthusiasm for war, even more than these chaotic and warlike demons.

"I have to say. Schiller, you are crazier than the most chaotic demon I have ever seen. I never thought that humans are so warlike." Beelzebub, sitting on the throne, looked at Schiller standing in front of him and said.

"People who come to hell are always very timid. They either scream and can't even speak, or they curse and say that they should go to heaven and that we devils are just sent by God to test him."

Beelzebub shook his head, but then asked: "In fact, I have always been curious, why do you want to help Constantine pay off his debts? As far as I know, he is not very good to his friends..."

Beelzebub gently twisted his fingers and said: "I have received at least hundreds of souls killed by Constantine, but you are the only one who wants to pay off his debts."

Schiller smiled, then shook his head and said: "Because he is my friend, and I really don't want to see him continue to suffer for so many debts. I want to save him completely."

"You humans are really strange. When you hate someone, you curse him to hell. When you love someone, you go to hell for him..." Beelzebub sighed.

"Your Majesty, if you have nothing else to do, I will check the border defense and reorganize the functional structure of the previous guards. The reconnaissance team sent out to investigate the weaknesses of the Astro Army will probably be back soon..."

Beelzebub waved his hand and let Schiller go down. Sitting on the throne, he sighed again: "Humans may not be smarter than demons, but they are even more diligent than demons in the way of destruction."

As Beelzebub said, there are counselors and smart people among demons. The stable operation of hell for so many years is not entirely dependent on heaven. There are also individuals with higher intelligence or foresight among demons, most of whom serve famous demon lords.

But as Beelzebub sighed, Schiller may not be smarter than them, and he knows how to manage the demon's territory better than them, but Schiller is much more diligent than them.

When Schiller came to hell and became the staff of the major demon lords in hell, the staff of the demon lords began to roll in madly.

Demons are also emotional creatures. As long as they have emotions, they definitely need to rest, relax and have fun, but Schiller doesn't need it.

Because he is in a soul state, he doesn't need to eat, drink water or rest. Schiller can work from morning to night, and then from night to morning. He doesn't need any entertainment to relax his mind. He can take care of everything from internal affairs to foreign affairs, from logistics to the front line.

If it were normal times, the demon lords might worry that the other party would monopolize power and threaten their status.

But on the one hand, Schiller is just a weak human. Even if his soul fragments have more energy than other humans, he can't compare with demons. Humans are unwilling and impossible to become lords in hell. The highest demand of humans is just resurrection.

On the other hand, under Schiller's instigation, smoke rose everywhere, and the major hell lords began to try to attack. Almost in an instant, thousands of large and small wars broke out in hell.

In wartime, absolute power means absolute efficiency. A steward who takes on a lot of responsibilities is more efficient than a manager who checks and balances multiple parties, and it is easier to achieve results. With the continuous reports of victory, the demon lords naturally prefer Schiller's way of handling things.

Therefore, Schiller can be said to be rising step by step in the demon lord's staff, and at the same time, it also led to the internal circulation of the demon counselors.

Annual leave? Non-existent, entertainment? It's a complete waste of time, relaxation and rest? You propose to rest at this time, which is completely disregarding your majesty's great cause. You can't devote yourself to the emergency, work hard, and die, and you still have the nerve to call yourself the Pope? !

The higher the efficiency, the more confident the demon lords are. The more confident they are, the easier it is to fight. The more they win, the more they want to fight, and the more chaotic they fight.

Originally, it was just some friction in the border area, which later escalated into a confrontation between cities in the border area. Later, the army pressed on the border, and accidental firing was inevitable.

In just three days, the largest, most chaotic, and most intense war in the history of hell broke out.

The cause of the war was to fight for the tower in the center of hell, so it was called the Battle for the Tower.

Schiller thrived under the demon lord, but Batman, who fell into hell at the same time, thought it was not the case.

Since he and Schiller fell into hell at the same time, he landed not far from the tower, but fortunately, he did not land in the center of the battlefield, but on a more desolate hillside.

But he happened to witness the scene of countless Schillers pouring out of the tower, and then being caught by the demon army and taken to different directions.

In Batman's view, this was Schiller fulfilling his contract with the demons and using his soul fragments to pay off Constantine's debt.

In other words, those soul fragments taken away are likely to be devoured, and after most of the soul power dissipates, the tower will fall, and Schiller's soul will be completely devoured.

Batman, standing high on the hillside, slowly clenched his fists, looking at the brutal and bloodthirsty demon army, with only endless fighting spirit surging in his heart.

But thinking about his alone situation, Batman slowly calmed down. He knew that he had to make a plan to save all the fragments of Schiller's soul from these vicious demon lords. This was destined to be a difficult and long task.

But soon, he found that this task was more difficult than he thought.

Because when he walked down the hillside, he saw the arrogant Schiller lying on the ground in the rubble below the hillside, that is, the professor Schiller he was most familiar with.

At this time, he was pale and extremely weak.
