The parliament of the Republic of Winter suddenly received a message from the space station that 300 unknown warships of Zhongzhou Star appeared in the warning range. The councillors, who had been holding boring meetings all day, immediately began to discuss enthusiastically and energetically, and the topic of discussion was whether to warn the 300 warships of Zhongzhou Star that had crossed the line.

"Second, Winter should have spotted us, why didn't they react? You don't think we're here for a friendly visit, do you? If that's the case, you should send someone to meet us, right? Why is there no reaction at all? Tang Yi frowned, looked at the calm Winter Star and asked Tang Er beside him.

"Hey, isn't that better? By the time we get into orbit, it's too late for them to resist. Tang Er, who was tinkering with something on the computer, said with a dark smile.

"Stupid! Don't forget what the boss said, be sure to identify yourself before attacking! I don't want to be scolded by the boss! Tang Yi kicked Tang Er hard.

And Tang Er nodded like he was okay and said, "That's right, that's why I'm writing this persuasion announcement." ”

"Persuasion announcement? Let me see. Tang Yi hurriedly leaned forward curiously.

"Wait for me to read it to you." Tang Er hurriedly turned off the screen and said.

"Okay, let's listen to it." Tang Yi said with great interest.

"Ahem, listen up." Tang Er got up and coughed dryly, shook his head and said as he walked with his hands behind his back: "Dear people of Winter Star, we are the righteous Zhongzhou Star Tang Long, handsome and dashing, personable, loved by all people, and infatuated by Tang Yi and Tang Er. In order to rescue you from the hands of the evil Winter Republic, our two handsome two generals personally led 300 giant warships to serve you, and you will inevitably be injured in the process of fighting the evil Winter Republic, please stay at home and do not go out. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, please inform your loved ones who are still serving the evil Winter Axe Army to defect to the light as soon as possible. If the war has caused the loss of your lives and property, and if the evil has arisen from the chaos, please count it all on the Winter's axe who is unwilling to surrender to justice for his own selfishness. In order not to suffer unnecessary losses, please urge the Winter political axe not to resist. ”

When Tang Er read this, Tang Yi applauded violently and shouted, "Beautiful, send this communication quickly." ”

Tang Er shook his head and said, "Wait for me to add, 'Tang Yi and Tang Er, two handsome and dashing generals, are now recruiting young and beautiful female friends. 'Sending it out. ”

"Okay, okay, add that quickly." Tang Yi had already urged Tang Er with his eyes shining. While the two of them were making a fuss, the 300 Moby Dick ships were still slowly heading towards Winter.

And the noisy councillors in the Winter House received news that they couldn't believe that the warship of Zhongzhou Star was coming to invade!

"Impossible! The family system actually came to attack our Ming Cook system? It's impossible! An old councillor suddenly shouted, and his voice immediately broke the silence, and the House of Parliament was once again as lively as a vegetable market. However, this time there was no quarrel for long, and a decision was made to resist the invasion, and this decision was transmitted to the Winter fleet at an unprecedented speed. The Winter fleet, which had been waiting for orders for a long time, rushed out of the atmosphere as soon as possible.

"Yo, there are a lot of them, at least more than 200 warships." Tang Yi looked at the data on the screen with his hands on his chest.

"Alas, poor innocent people of Winterstar, they have been tied to the chariot of death by their own axe." Tang Er shook his head and sighed, but Tang Er's demeanor suddenly changed, and he said in an impassioned tone: "In order to prevent Winter from making mistakes again and again, we must destroy the force they rely on to resist at once, only then will they realize that it is an absolute mistake to go against us!" ”

Tang Yi pursed his lips and said, "Why are you talking so much, it's not a matter of one sentence?" As soon as Tang Yi said this, he waved his hand and ordered: "Attack!" ”

With Tang Yi's order, five thousand black dots suddenly appeared on the silver-white hulls of the 300 Beluga warships, and then these black dots suddenly burst out with a flash of light. At this moment, a total of 1.5 million beams from 300 Moby Dick warships had already shot towards the Winter fleet, which had just broken out of the atmosphere.

Each battleship in Winter's fleet was hit by more than 5,000 beams, and with such a fierce attack, even the so-called thick-skinned file battleships would be pierced with a hundred holes, let alone these ordinary warships. Therefore, when the protective shield of the Winter Star Battleship consumed energy, the continuous explosions unfolded brilliantly outside the atmosphere of Winter Star.

Tang Er said with a sad and pitiful look on his face: "Look, why bother, hundreds of thousands of lambs who were bewitched by the evil axe have become cosmic dust like this. Alas, are you worthy of the parents who gave birth to you and raised you? In order to eradicate this evil cancer, we can only be forced to make this decision. Speaking of this, Tang Er suddenly ordered with a vicious face: "Aim at the Winter Star Power Authority, 10% firepower, shoot!" "It didn't take much time for the robot to find the target facility on Winter, and soon, each Moby Dick battleship fired 500 beams at different targets on the ground of Winter.

The councillors, who had not come to their senses because of the instantaneous destruction of their fleet, were awakened by the terrible warning voice of the computer: "The enemy shoots at the target, and the political axe departments of the Winter Star!" Evacuate all political axe personnel immediately! Evacuate now! Hearing this, the parliamentarians immediately ran towards the door at a speed of 100 meters. However, they were faster than the speed of light, and within seconds of being warned, they were buried under the rubble.

Soon, the police department and ground troops, who had been deliberately spared, were surprised to find that less than a minute after the fleet of Winter Star was completely destroyed, all the political axe power institutions of Winter Star were in ruins. In other words, within a few minutes of the start of the war, Winter Star was in a state of political axe, and the people who got the news were oppressed by the sense of fear and began to flee, and the chaos followed by the chaos was that ordinary elements from all over the country took the opportunity to carry out various atrocities such as robbery and plunder.

Tang Yi, who saw these ground scenes from the screen, shook his head and said, "Human nerves are really weak. After that, press a button. Seeing Tang Yi's actions, Tang Er immediately said: "Hey, the boss still wants us to form a gang, don't show your appearance to others, I'm very satisfied with the current appearance, but I don't want to go for plastic surgery." ”

Don nodded a little and only began to speak after pressing a button to cancel the image. At the same time, Tang Yi's voice appeared in all the communication facilities on the Winter Star: "I am a general under the command of Lord Tang Long, the supreme commander of Zhongzhou Star, all the people will return to their homes immediately, and all the police and ground troops will immediately be dispatched to maintain law and order and arrest all those who disturb the peace!" If the scratching does not subside within 10 hours, I will shell the area that is still scratching! ”

When the Chief of Police and the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces heard this, they thought for a moment and immediately ordered the departments to begin maintaining law and order. In their minds, the fall of Winter was inevitable, and surrender was not long in coming. Acting according to the general's orders will not only make a good impression on these new owners, but also increase his popularity among the people. Why not do such a win-win?

After hearing Tang Yi's speech, the people realized that it was not safe for them to run anywhere without a spaceship, and if they continued to scratch the chaos and be bombarded, they would be even more dead, so they should go home, at least die at home. Threatened by the shadow of death, the people calmed down their confusion and returned home with trepidation. And those who took advantage of the chaos to rob also hid after the police and army were dispatched. The chaotic Winter Star settled down in an instant.

Then Tang Yi issued a notice to persuade him to surrender, and the surviving officials immediately jointly issued a surrender notice.

"Well, that's it, let's send a landing force." Tang Yi, who received the surrender notice from Winter Star, said to Tang Er while being satisfied to see that the crowd on the ground of Winter began to walk back because of his words.

"Each battleship sent 4,000 people into Winter in landing craft." Tang Er ordered to the robot, and as soon as the order was issued, he said to Tang Yi: "By the way, Old One, we can't see anyone, do you want to go down?" ”

"Joke, if we don't go down, are we going to rely on these rigid guys to control the planet?" Tang Yi said as he lowered his head and did something under the console.

"What then? Do you want to command remotely? I'm not used to controlling other people's bodies. As soon as Tang Er said this, he found that Tang Yi threw a single combat helmet with black protective goggles, and Tang Yi had already put the same helmet on his head.

Tang Er, who had already understood, muttered: "Alas, I still want to rely on my face to seduce a few beauties." "While putting on his helmet.

When they came to the landing craft, they suddenly remembered something important and shouted: "We are not wearing military uniforms!" "That's right, all the robots are wearing black suits and sunglasses, holding various individual weapons, and sitting motionless in the 10-seater landing craft. It didn't look like an army at all, but like a gangster.

"Forget it, let's just say that we are the army of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Zhongzhou Star." Tang Yi reluctantly found an excuse from a certain plot of the movie. In his understanding, the army of the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not wear military uniforms. And Tang Er, who had the same cognition, immediately nodded in agreement.

When the 1,201 landing craft were moored at the ruins of the Winter Star Council, the remaining officials, who had received the news of the arrival of the enemy's landing force, gathered here in fear. And the police and the ground army were forced to start acting as guards, and there was no way but to do this humiliating thing in order not to let the enemy find an excuse to carry out the massacre.

However, to the surprise of these police and military, these intruders are all gangsters dressed in black suits, white shirts, black ties, and sunglasses. The most prominent are the two guys with fighting helmets who can't see their faces surrounded by these black-clad and sunglassed men.

"How could our fleet lose to a bunch of guys who are not soldiers and dare not meet people!" A soldier muttered discontentedly. In his opinion, these black-clad men in sunglasses can be regarded as bodyguards at most, and it is really useless for his army to lose to these bodyguards.

"Shut up, don't you see that they are all well-trained soldiers?" The officer beside him immediately whispered.

"Soldiers? Impossible, right? Why don't you wear a military uniform? The soldier was puzzled.

"Look at their straight waists, look at their walking movements, haven't you noticed that this is only for standard soldiers? They are definitely the army of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Zhongzhou Star! The officer explained in a low voice, and voiced his guess.

"The army of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Are those who are usually better than the gendarmes, but who run away faster than rabbits, and who specialize in dealing with their own people's troops of the Ministry of the Interior? The soldier asked, surprised.

"You're talking about our Ministry of Internal Affairs troops! Can those bastards who have forgotten their functions compare to others? The officer pouted.

The soldier wanted to ask something, but when he saw that hundreds of officials had already arrived to greet the victors, he closed his mouth and concentrated on guarding his surroundings.

Tang Yi and Tang Er didn't know how to receive the planet at all, and after meeting with those officials, they asked them to send a communication to Zhongzhou Star, asking Zhongzhou Star to send someone to receive Winter Star immediately. Yuna, who received the communication, was taken aback again, not long after receiving the communication that Odestar asked to send someone to receive, and now the communication that Winter Star requested to send someone to receive it has come again. The private fleet of the lord's sister is really strong enough, and it didn't take much effort to occupy two planets, and I believe that after a while, Ulan Star will also send a communication requesting manpower.

Yuna shook her head at the thought of this and started to get busy, now she didn't have time to think about it. Yuna wasn't busy, just sent a few people in charge of counting supplies. The busiest are Li Wu and Ling Li, Li Wu is in charge of government affairs and personnel, these two jobs of Zhongzhou Star alone are enough for her to be busy, not to mention that there are now two more planets that are stronger than Zhongzhou Star in all aspects. And Ling Li, who was in charge of intelligence, was miserable, all the information about Winter and Odestar was done in vain, although she was able to get detailed information directly from these two planets, she had to start making plans again. Erxi, who was in charge of the construction and had just taken over the planning from Ling Li, was just as busy, but she was extremely excited because there were many, many more places that could be destroyed. The most boring of all were Sally and Jessy, who were speechless in their offices when they heard the news. However, they didn't know what to think, and suddenly gritted their teeth and strengthened the training of the army.

When the officials and people of Zhongzhou Star learned that the lord had attacked three planets at the same time and had already occupied two, they were either stunned or half-convinced. But after the first batch of men was dispatched, these people realized that this was true, and although they wondered how the lord had such a powerful force all at once, they still cheered with joy. There are also a few officials who are worried that Tang Long's indiscriminate attack on other political system forces will attract the siege of all the forces in the Chaos Galaxy, but the people don't care about this at all, under the education they have received since childhood, the lord is right to do whatever he does!

There was nothing to do, Tang Yi and Tang Er, who stayed in the intact presidential residence on Winter Star, chatted with Tang San, Tang Si, and Tang Wu who stayed in the Odestar Palace:

"I said, third, how are you doing over there? I'm too bored here, the 200 or so battleships of Winter Star were wiped out by me with a single salvo, and if I fired a few more shots, Winter Star Political Axe was wiped out, and it was over with a notice to persuade him to surrender. Speaking of this, Tang Yi sighed: "Alas, it's really not fun!" If his words were heard by the officials of Winterstar, the faces of these officials would definitely be very ugly.

Tang San said dissatisfiedly: "Still not enjoyable? I'm not enjoying it on my side, and you have to shoot at the cannon and then persuade you to surrender. As soon as my side issued a notice to persuade him to surrender, Odexing surrendered, and there was no resistance at all! ”

"Huh? Could it be that Odestar understands that we are righteous, so he surrenders without resistance? Tang Er interjected and asked.

"What a sense of justice!" Tang Si roared: "Those bunny cubs are because the main force has been taken away by the bullshit emperor of Ou Dexing, and there are only about 10 warships on the entire planet, so as soon as they see our 300 warships approaching the door, they immediately surrender!" ”

"Oh, where did their emperor go with his fleet?" Tang Yi asked curiously.

"I heard that I went to attack Ulan." Tang San said.

When Tang Er heard this, he immediately shouted, "No! The boss is in danger, I will lead the fleet to save the boss! ”

Tang Si said confusedly: "Danger? Ulan Xing, who was wiped out by the boss, counted 200 warships left for him, plus the 300 warships taken away by Emperor Oudexing, there are only about 500 in total. And the boss, who has 400 Moby Dick battleships that can withstand 4,000 warships, what danger can the boss have? ”

Tang San didn't pay attention to Tang Si's words, but said with a light in his eyes: "The second brother is right, the boss is in danger, we have to hurry up and rescue the driver, otherwise it will be too late!" ”

Tang Yi also nodded violently and said: "That's right, saving people is like fighting a fire, I'll set off now, I'm afraid I won't even be able to catch the scum if I slow down." ”

"It's said that the boss can't be in danger, what are you still talking about?" Tang Si muttered again.

Tang Wu knocked Tang Si's head hard and said, "You stay!" Then he followed Tang San out of the palace.

Tang Si didn't leave with them, but only after seeing them go, did he mutter, "Really, do you think I don't know that you are rushing to destroy the battleship of the Ulan Star?" But does the boss still need you to do anything when he's there? It's more realistic to stay on Odestar, this planet is not completely subjugated to the boss. Well, I hope the first and second ones won't be stupid enough to drive all the battleships away. ”

Soon, only 100 Moby Dick warships were still moored outside the Odestar atmosphere, and the other 200 flew towards Ulan. And there were also 100 Beluga warships left outside the Winter Star, and since the receivers of the Zhongzhou Star had not yet arrived, Tang Yi gave an order to the robots left behind: "If you find a scratch below, warn first, and attack immediately if the warning is ineffective." It is necessary to cooperate with the work of Zhongzhou Star receiving personnel and protect their safety. Then he rushed towards Ulan Star with 200 warships.

At this moment, Emperor Oude, who had not yet received the news that his planet had changed hands, was excitedly ordering on his flagship: "Attack! Attack! Kill all the Ulans for me! "Although when the Oude fleet attacked the Ulan Star, it was attacked by the Ulan fleet that rushed back from Zhongzhou Star. However, due to the fact that these Ulan fleets were in a hurry to defend the Ulan Temple, and their warships were more or less damaged, most of the Ulan warships were sunk under the blow of the imposing Oude fleet, and a small part landed on the ground to help friendly forces resist the invaders.

The European German army, which had already invaded the ground of Ulan, relied on elite weapons to fire at the unarmed but fearless people of Ulan. The fiercest battle was at the Ulan Temple, where the European and German armies concentrated their main forces, and the Ulan army and the Ulan people also flocked to the temple in order to concentrate their efforts to protect the temple.

Inside the temple, Lan Long walked around the temple hall irritably, and she gritted her teeth and muttered, "Why is this happening?" The fleet attacking Zhongzhou Star has failed, and the Oude Empire has invaded again, is the god of Ulan going to abandon us loyal believers? ”

Lan Long's words did not answer her, most of the clergy have commanded the army to fight the people at war, and a small number of clergy are either concerned with studying the doctrine all day long, or are incompetent and cowardly. Most of the clergy of the older generation took care of the Pope because he was suffering from cerebral congestion when he heard of the enemy's invasion.

"Could it be that I was wrong to start a war to invade Zhongzhou Star in the first place?" Lan Long couldn't think about it in distress, and she quickly said excitedly: "No! I didn't do anything wrong! It's that damn Donaven who was wrong! He is the one who instigated us to fight a senseless war! O Great God of Ulan! Pray that he will perish in Hell for all eternity! "Donnaven, who was cursed by Lan Long, died unexpectedly as early as the first wave of sneak attacks in the Oude Empire. If he was still alive, he would probably have been eaten alive by the clergymen who knew why the Ulan Sect would send an army to attack Zhongzhou Xing.

When Lan Long sorted out his emotions and was about to go to the battle and contribute to the Ulan Sect, a maid ran in in a panic and shouted: "Young Sect Master, 400 Tang family warships of unknown models have appeared in outer space!" ”

"Tang family battleship?" Lan Long immediately collapsed to the ground weakly, and muttered blankly with his eyes: "It's over, Zhongzhou Star has come to take revenge, and Wulan has finished teaching......"

On the temporary flagship where Tang Long was, after Tang Long saw the information of the Ulan Star displayed on the screen, he suddenly nodded and said: "No wonder the Ulan warship is so eager to leave, it turns out that the Ulan Star was attacked by the Oude Empire." ”

"How about letting them fight for both of them, and then we can go and catch them all?" Tang Xing asked Tang Long.

"Well, that's a good idea. But don't you think it's a little strange, old lady. Tang Long looked at the battle scene of Ulan Xing and said to Tang Xing.

"What's weird?" Tang Xing asked puzzled.

Tang Long said suspiciously: "What is the reason why the Oude Empire attacked the Ulan Sect?" There is nothing wrong with each other, the European and German empires will not attack their neighbors for no reason, right? ”

Tang Xing pouted: "I don't understand this?" The Oude Empire must have waged war for the abundance of black crystals on Ulan. ”

"Dark crystal? There is actually a rich black crystal on the Ulan star? Why don't I know? Tang Long shouted in surprise. He didn't know that there was a rich black crystal on Ulan Star, otherwise he would have had the idea of fighting Ulan Star a long time ago, because three-year-old children knew the important surname of black crystal.

Tang Xing explained: "Except for a few leaders of the forces who have dealings with them, no one else knows about this matter. This is mainly due to the policy of not allowing outsiders to enter and exit Ulanxing, and of course, it is also indispensable for the good secrecy work. If I hadn't searched for almost all the chaotic galaxies, I wouldn't have known that there were a lot of black crystals in Ulan. ”

"How much black crystal reserves are there in Ulan Star?" Tang Long asked.

"It can create enough energy for 1 million Moby Dick warships to fight continuously at high intensity for 10 years." Tang Xing, who was almost omnipotent, replied immediately.

"Wow! ......" Tang Long only shouted, and his eyes lit up and he looked at the planet with a black orchid pattern in a daze. However, Tang Long quickly came to his senses, and he said to Tang Xing with an embarrassed face: "Sister, those religious believers in Ulan Star are unlikely to accept our rule, how can we completely rule Ulan Star?" ”

Tang Xing thought for a moment and said: "It's very simple, transport the non-religious population to settle in Ulanxing, then reduce the number of their religious believers, and finally strengthen the education of the secular powers, so that they will slowly abandon the religion-centered belief base. ”

"Well, move some people from Earth and several other planets to Ulan Star, and in order to facilitate future rule, it is best to disrupt the fixed population ratio of each planet." Tang Long clapped his palms in agreement.

"Okay, don't talk about this, you see that the Ulan Sect is about to be unable to resist, it's time to dispatch, right?" Tang Xing reminded.

"No, wait until the European and German fleets occupy Ulan." Tang Long said.

Tang Xing immediately understood: "Oh, you want to use the hand of the Oude fleet to eliminate the upper echelons of the Ulan Sect?" ”

"Well, not destroying those superstructures will be detrimental to our future rule." Tang Long nodded and acknowledged.

Emperor Oude, who had already occupied the Ulan Temple and was searching for the upper echelons of the Ulan Sect, was not particularly happy, because his mind was all focused on the 400 Tang warships that were watching from afar. Although Emperor Oude sent several communications to inquire about the origin of the Tang fleet, he only received a reply from military secrets without comment.

Seeing the Tang family's warships of unknown models, he couldn't help but be both happy and worried. Fortunately, he didn't attack Zhongzhou Xing, so he didn't have to offend this group of forces that could still dispatch such a huge fleet after destroying the Ulan Sect. The worry is that the force possessed by the Tang family is really terrifying, originally thought that they had a maximum of hundreds of troops, but they didn't expect that so many warships would come out of nowhere. With such a huge force, will the Tang family still stay in that narrow Zhongzhou Star in peace?

Soon, as the Ou-German fleet invested a large number of ground troops, the large number of Ulan believers could not stop the army's advance, and the Ulan Star began to be slowly eaten away.

Seeing through the computer that the resistance of the Ulan Sect had finally disappeared, Tang Long waved his hand and ordered: "Aim at the enemy ship and attack!" ”

Emperor Oude, who was thinking about whether to mobilize more troops to guard against the Tang family's warships, was immediately awakened by a huge shaking, and when he looked at the surrounding situation, he immediately understood that the Tang family was attacking his own fleet.

Emperor Oude was so anxious that he shouted: "What's going on? Why attack us? Did they mistake us for the warships of the Ulan? "After Emperor Oude shouted, he knew that this was impossible, every warship had a fixed identification code, and even the worst warship could not identify the wrong other warships.

Lan Long, who escaped from the temple and hid in the only radar monitoring room that was still in the hands of the Ulan Sect, watched blankly as the Tang family battleships violently attacked the Oude battleships, and those Oude battleships that seemed extremely powerful in their eyes were actually sunk by the Tang family's battleships one by one effortlessly. Lan Long didn't have time to think about why the Tang family's combat power was so strong, she was thinking about why the Tang family would be so generous as to repay their grievances with virtue and help the Ulan Sect attack the Oude Empire?

However, she quickly abandoned this problem, because the Tang family fleet sent a communication to Ulan Star, which was a communication advising the people of Ulan Star to return home and try not to go out, and the Zhongzhou Star Society would help Ulan Star eliminate the Oude fleet.

Seeing this communication, Lan Long immediately scolded angrily: "Hmph! It turns out that they are dog-eat-dog for the battle for the Ulan star! What kind of intentions you pretend, it's not all about occupying Ulan Star! Order all Ulan believers to fight to the end for the Ulan Holy Sect and the enemy! ”

When Lan Long's subordinates were about to send out this message, an old voice shouted, "Stop! ”

The people in the radar monitoring room looked back and found that several elders with nine orchids had come in with a pale face, and the voice was made by the Pope.

"Lord Pope, Lan Long's crime deserves death, please punish the Pope!" Lan Long immediately knelt at the Pope's feet and pleaded guilty in panic.

The Pope ignored Lan Long, but said to the correspondent: "Send a signal to the Tang family requesting communication, just say that the Ulan Pope wants to meet with the commander of the Tang family's fleet. As soon as the Pope finished speaking, the correspondent tapped on the keyboard and quickly passed the communication.

Tang Long, who received this communication, scolded in annoyance: "The European and German army is really useless! I didn't even catch a few leaders of the Ulan Sect! ”

Hearing this, Tang Xing continued: "I know where they are hiding, and I can solve them by launching a missile." ”

Tang Long thought about it, gritted his teeth and nodded to Tang Xing and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, old lady." ”

"No problem." Tang Xing just waved his hand, and dozens of missiles bombarded towards a certain area of Ulan Xing.

"Haven't you answered yet?" The Pope asked impatiently, and after seeing the correspondent shake his head cautiously, he sighed helplessly: "It seems that the Tang family does not plan to discuss the surrender with us." ”

"Surrender?" Everyone looked at the Pope in alarm.

The Pope waved his hand and explained: "At this point, it is impossible for us to let the Ulan Holy Sect survive except for surrendering Zhongzhou Star, but unfortunately, the Tang family is unwilling to talk to us, we only have ......" When the Pope said this, the radarman suddenly shouted in panic: "50 missiles are flying towards us!" As soon as these words came out, they immediately panicked and overwhelmed these Ulan Sect leaders.

"The Ulan Holy Cult has perished." The Pope ignored the panicked man around him, and just closed his eyes in pain.
