Lu Gui lost a lot of weight, which is also unbelievable among the great witches. He was not seriously injured and was not cursed by witchcraft. He was able to lose weight to only skin and bones in just half a month. For eating iron blocks and
For a great witch who can grow flesh from stones, it is simply too rare. This also shows how much pressure Lu Gui has been under recently and how severe his mental suffering has been.
Wearing an empty and wrinkled black robe, Lu Gui lay lazily on the throne and said to Xia Jie casually: "That bitch Bai Zhi? And the remnants of the sea people? They are colluding together? Collusion is just a matter of time."
Let's collude. Do the current Hai people still have the strength to oppose me, Daxia? Isn't their little military strength also used up in the heaven? Okay, okay, Xia Jie, don't worry anymore."
Lazily, he raised his head and glanced at Xia Jie. Lu Gui suddenly took off a black jade sword from his waist and threw it to him. "This is the royal sword of the Wangting Anshi. With this sword, you can mobilize the current dark jade sword."
The remaining 1,800 blood witch guards in Si are all high-ranking witches. Just lead them to hunt down Bai Zhi, and I will ignore other matters."
"Uh~~~" Xia Jie was stunned. The most powerful Ansi among the several top-secret forces that had been in the hands of the Great Xia Royal Court was just handed over to him? Although the Ansi now has 1,800 remaining
There are indeed fewer blood witch guards than at the peak, but Lu Gui handed over the blood witch guards to himself so easily. Isn't it too childish?
The corner of his mouth twitched a few times, and Lu Gui, who came to the palace to report that Bai Zhi had colluded with the Hairen and that all the Hairen people had escaped, couldn't help but feel a little stupid.
"Okay, okay. Don't be wordy. There are too many things in the court, and I can't let the king handle everything personally. It is your duty as a minister to leave some messy things to you.
"Min." Lu Gui hummed lazily: "Go, go, do what you should do. Well, wait a minute..."
Stopping Xia Jie who was walking out of the palace with his sword in hand, Lu Gui said excitedly: "In this way, Xia Jie, don't bother me with trivial matters in the future. I appointed you as the Dingtian Army Order and asked you to do it."
Commander of the military department. You, Dingtian Military Order, are responsible for suppressing rebellions, detecting traitors, and supervising court officials. Well, I give you the power of making final decisions. It’s not a big problem. You can make your own decision.
That’s it. The ministers below the rank of imperial commander should be killed when they need to be killed, and arrested when they need to be arrested, so that they won’t bother me anymore.”
He clapped his hands enthusiastically, Lu Gui summoned his chamberlain, quickly wrote an edict, and stamped nine bloody marks on it with his seal. Lu Gui pouted and blew the handwriting and marks dry.
He threw the black scroll to Xia Jie. "Go, go, do what you are ordered to do by Dingtian Army. I, the king, must enjoy what you should enjoy. Life is only a few hundred years.
If it disappears without enjoying it, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to come to this world? Come on, people, please sing, dance, and drink, come up quickly!”
Dozens of dancing girls with flying skirts walked in quickly and lightly, the bells and drums sounded leisurely, and Lu Gui squatted on the throne with his palms in his hands and sang, looking like a madman.
Xia Jie sighed heavily, stuffed the decree and the sword into his arms, and strode out of the hall. Shu, who was standing at the door of the hall, quickly wiped his big mouth with oil, came up and asked: "
Boss, do you have any work? I think Daxia’s recent popularity has not been very good, so would you like to add a few dollars to the monthly payment you give me?”
Xia Jie slapped Chen hard on the forehead, and said angrily: "Fart! What have you done for me recently? Do you want me to give you more monthly money? Go and send a letter to the thirty-six states of Haiyu.
, asked my subordinates of the Secret Service to dispatch half of their personnel to Daxia. First, build three bases to train new personnel outside Anyi City... Well, first, secretly recruit 100,000 civilians for training."
The secret agents and eyes and ears of the Secret Service are positions that ordinary civilians can also perform. In order to ensure the security around Anyi City, Xia Jie can only transfer manpower from the thirty-six states of the sea area. However, the thirty-six states of the sea area are
It has also been very unsettled recently. Half of the Secret Service's eyes and ears have been deployed. There will inevitably be countless loopholes in the surveillance of the West, leaving a lot of room for Satan and Augustus to maneuver. But, that's not the case.
What can we do if we do it? Compared with the territories occupied by the sea people, Eastern Kyushu is the foundation of Daxia.
It's a pity that Xia Jie has too few people available at the moment. If the shrewd and slippery boy Chi Ming is still there, many problems can be effectively solved.
"Red Star~~~" Youyou sighed and stomped several sapphire boards on the floor to pieces. Xia Jie walked down the steps with a gloomy face.
As soon as he walked down the steps, several Hidden Witches from the Hidden Witch Hall came running toward him. The Hidden Witch in the middle shouted hurriedly: "Xia Jie, the witch master is injured. I want you to go to the Hidden Witch Hall as soon as possible."
"What?" Xia Jie grabbed the great witch's collar with one hand and lifted him up. He angrily shouted: "How could he be injured? Who injured him?"
The great witch calmly said in a very fast but calm voice: "The witch led us to hunt down the seaman technician who escaped on the transport ship. First, he was shot in the back by the three main guns of the Doomsday Fortress.
, then the high priest of the sea people arrived and injured the witch master with a strange-shaped magic weapon."
"Sanadan? Augustus!" Xia Jie's face was as gloomy as the thunder clouds in June. He said solemnly: "Go to the Hidden Witch Palace. With this sword in hand, go to the palace's Anshi station and kill all the Ansi.
The Great Witch was mobilized and sent to the Doomsday Fortress to kill all the sea people who might be hiding in the Doomsday Fortress... When it comes to finding traces, the Hidden Witch can't compare to them." He took out his sword and Xia
Jie threw the sword to the great witch, and then his body rose into the sky, flying towards the doomsday fortress that had descended less than 100,000 miles from the ground and was under the Gangfeng layer.
Shu screamed a few times, and the slow and cumbersome one flew up. While chasing Xia Jie, he muttered: "Following you to the sky and the earth, running around, is this called not doing anything for you? Add more money,
Increase your money, increase your monthly payment! Otherwise, you won’t be able to survive. Who knows when you will be killed in Daxia? You won’t be able to get so much money by then. Increase your money, increase your money!”
Xia Jie had just left the palace for only a stick of incense. His hair and beard were as pale as dead bones, his face was haggard and withered, and he had a sense of death in his body. Then he attracted a large team of thousands of people and walked in slowly.
Palace. It can be seen that Daxia's fiasco in heaven also dealt an extremely heavy blow to the Xiangliu family. Because of Xiang Liurou's opportunity and because of Xia Jie's help, the Xiangliu family avoided the desperate situation of annihilation, but they also fell.
When it reaches the level of a second-rate witchcraft family, most of the elites have been lost. As the head of the family, if Xiang Liuhui can still live a rich and prosperous life under such circumstances, he will be called a ghost.
Shivering, he walked to the square where the Jiuding was placed. Xiang Liuhuo turned around tremblingly and said dryly to the thousands of people behind him: "If you want to see the king, you have to look at your status. If you have enough status,
If there are more than ten cities in the country and the population of the clan exceeds five million, they will go up to see the king with me. Others who do not have enough status can stay here."
Thousands of people dressed in different clothes were shocked when they heard the words, and they all clamored to meet Lu Gui in person. Xiang Liuhou gently slapped his hands, and tens of thousands of immature-looking imperial guards appeared out of thin air in Jiuding Square.
, holding crossbows and aiming them at these men. The strength of these guards was very poor, but the crossbows and arrows they held in their hands were filled with black smoke and a fishy smell. They were obviously attached with extremely vicious witchcraft and curses.
Extremely cruel voodoo. Thousands of crossbows were fired, and few people at the scene were confident that they could save their lives.
As a result, thousands of people shut their mouths at the same time. Xiang Liuhui glanced at these people coldly, and scolded in a low voice: "Teach me to be smarter! No matter how unlucky I am in Daxia, no matter how weak the national fortune is,
It's not like you uncivilized barbarians can resist. With just a few clicks of my little finger, I can destroy several of your countries and slaughter several of your tribes. If you don't believe it, you can try it!"
With a vicious sneer, Xiang Liuhui casually drew a circle towards the northwest corner of the crowd and sneered: "Kill the five hundred people here! Send a message to their king and clan leader, saying that they are in front of the king.
It is rude and has greatly offended the majesty of my great Xia. The king and the clan leader are ordered to pay compensation of ten thousand square meters of raw jade, one hundred thousand jade coins, millions of gold coins, tens of millions of copper coins, millions of strong women, and millions of childish children.
There are millions of cattle, sheep and other food animals, and millions of working animals. If anyone refuses to obey, the country will be destroyed!"
Thousands of guards moved their fingers, and tens of thousands of black lights roared out from the powerful crossbows. These black lights with three to five feet of black smoke penetrated into each human body quickly and penetrated their bodies. These people were instantly
His whole body turned black, and thick black plasma spurted out from his seven orifices, and he fell to the ground and died miserably on the spot. These guards had just been selected from the distant relatives of the major witch families and added to the palace.
He was also unskilled in the use of weapons and various ordnance. The tens of thousands of crossbow arrows fired not only killed the five hundred people within the range designated by Xiang Liuhui, but also implicated nearly a thousand people nearby. More than a thousand corpses
He fell to the ground, scattered and scattered, and soon shrank and smelled, turning into a mummy as hard as gold and iron.
"Look carefully!" Xiang Liuhui warned sinisterly: "This is the palace of Daxia. The king of Daxia lives here, and he is also the king of this world!"
Pointing his finger at the frightened people who turned pale, Xiang Liuhui warned: "Be good, otherwise, it will be very bad if your own people are harmed. Daxia's current power is still enough to slaughter you."
Not even three or five rounds without breathing." These envoys from the major subordinate countries and subordinate tribes of Daxia bowed their heads respectfully and fearfully, and then according to the power of their country and tribe, more than a hundred people met the conditions mentioned by Xiang Liuhui.
One of the envoys followed Xiang Liuhui up the steps obediently, while the other envoys stood obediently in the square. The guards holding crossbows slowly backed away, and then their figures slowly blurred, appearing in a circle.
Disappeared in the circle of air fluctuations.
In the main hall where the Great Xia Dynasty held meetings, Lu Gui, who was naked from the lower half of his body, was playing the fou and singing.
The corners of Xiang Liuhui's eyes twitched a few times. The envoys gasped at the same time. The timid envoy screamed in fright and stumbled out of the hall.
A dazzling electric light flashed, and the envoy who rushed out of the hall was burned to ashes before he could even run a few steps. Lu Gui stood up slowly, his messy long hair spread in front of him, and he narrowed his eyes.
A slit of eyes looked at Xiang Liuhui and the envoys from behind his messy hair, and an extremely dangerous aura enveloped the hall.
"Bi Gong... why did you bring these guys here?" Lu Gui asked gloomily with blue will-o'-the-wisps in his eyes.
Just as Xiang Liuhe was about to speak, Lu Gui suddenly roared angrily: "I ask you, why did you burst into the hall without even telling me? You are so brave! Xiang Liuhe! Do you think you are still the same Xiangliu family as before?
Are you the head of the family? Now if I strangle you to death, it will be like strangling a beast to death! How dare you, Xiangliu family, fart?"
Xiang Liu was stunned. He slowly bent his waist and bowed respectfully to Lu Gui. The envoys were also stunned. As the king of Daxia, he could be considered a great witch by cursing his important ministers like this.
No matter how cruel his nature is, this is an extremely rare thing. After all, as one of the four prime ministers of the Xia Dynasty, Xiangliu Tuo should not receive such treatment based on his status. It's not that Xiang Liupu didn't ask others to report it, but
There was no one outside the hall who could inform the people inside, so Xiang Liubi could only lead them straight into the main hall.
Lu Gui insulted an important minister indiscriminately, regardless of the cause and effect of the matter. Does Lu Gui say such words, does it prove that he has fallen into a semi-mad state?
In the foreseeable hundreds of years to come, the person who holds absolute power in Daxia will be a half-crazy king?
The cold sweat on the foreheads of some envoys oozed out instinctively, and large strands of cold sweat dripped down their cheeks and onto the ground. The vassal states and tribes of Daxia have been having a hard time over the past few years. If another violent madman is involved,
, that really means not letting people live. Looking at the naked bodies of women lying on the ground in the hall, the envoys instinctively thought of their beautiful wives and lovely daughters at home... For a moment, the hall was as quiet as a cemetery.
Lu Gui's sneer broke the dead silence. He said coldly to Xiang Liuhou: "But since I'm here~~~ forget it. Xiang Liuhou, go to the side hall to arrange a banquet. I will entertain all the envoys.
"Well, don't be too rich. This year's tribute has not been presented yet. I am very poor and don't have anything good to entertain you." These words were so naked that they were almost rogue.
A red-faced envoy bravely stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, we are here this time to discuss some tributes..."
Lu Gui turned his hand and blasted the envoy to pieces. The flesh and blood fragments sprayed out the other envoys bright red. A dozen of the cowardly envoys screamed strangely, wiped their faces that turned red, and tilted their bodies.
, was so frightened that he fainted to the ground. Lu Gui shouted impatiently: "Shut up! Tributes? Is there anything else to discuss about this matter? According to the practice of previous years, this year all tributes will be added by 30%!"
Thirty percent! All the envoys took a breath of air-conditioning at the same time, and some of the envoys had a trace of despair on their faces. However, no one dared to speak anymore. No one dared to say it to Lu Gui, because in the past few years, Daxia has been frantically searching for beautiful jade.
, fine gold and other expensive materials, as well as countless grain, grass and livestock, these old foundations of the country and tribe have also been completely consumed, and nothing much can be produced anymore.
"Hahahaha!" When Lu Gui saw that no one was talking, he suddenly laughed wildly. He bent his body and strode into the back hall. The envoys had no choice but to follow Xiang Liuhui out of the main hall obediently.
When they arrived at a side hall a few miles away, they sat down according to their respective statuses.
After about half an hour, the envoys heard a loud clang on the tile surface, as if someone was dragging a heavy object on the tile surface. The envoys looked at each other in shock, but they had no idea what Lu Gui was up to.
.Soon, the palace servants served hot food and wine, but the wine was ordinary village brewed water wine, and the dishes were simple boiled meat cubes and stone-baked corn cakes. In addition, each person had a small
The green vegetable leaves on the plate were only sprinkled with a little salt powder and had no other condiments. The food and wine prepared for this feast were simply extremely shabby.
The envoys looked at the simple food and wine in front of them and were speechless for a long time. It was really too outrageous. As the co-owner of the world, as the suzerain of so many vassal countries and clans, Daxia
Today's performance was really stingy to the extreme. The faces of the chamberlains who served the wine and food were all red with shame. After all, Daxia's treasury was indeed empty, but it was not so poor. The envoys heard what Lu Gui said personally.
I was told not to prepare a banquet that was too rich, but I didn't expect it to be so crude.
This is simply humiliating these envoys. All the envoys are holding back their anger, but no one dares to vent it out.
Putting on his neat royal robes, Lu Gui strode out from the back of the palace, surrounded by dozens of witch guards. He sat carelessly on the stone platform at the end of the hall, and cast a joking glance at the envoys.
After drinking wine and delicacies, he said coldly: "Daxia is extremely poor now. I give an order that in the future, the daily food of many of my subjects in Daxia must not exceed today's standards."
The envoys winked and frowned, disapproving of Lu Gui's order. Even if you, Lu Gui, are the king of Daxia, can you still control the food, drink and diarrhea of the people in the world?
However, Lu Gui made another unbelievable statement: "Recently, Daxia has suffered some losses, and its human resources have been greatly damaged. As the lord of the world, we cannot allow the population of subordinate countries and tribes to exceed Daxia. Therefore, the world
The subject country must pay tribute to Daxia with 20% of its people. At the same time, within three years, except within Daxia, marriage between men and women is strictly prohibited."
'Boom!', the envoys all shouted. Even if there was a risk of being killed by Lu Gui on the spot, they could not restrain their shock and anger. They paid tribute to Daxia with 20% of their subjects? Isn't this robbery?
There are thousands of large and small wars between these vassal tribes every year. What is the purpose? Isn't it just to plunder the women and children of the neighbors to increase their own strength? But now, Lu Gui actually asked them to every
Every country and tribe donated 20% of its people to Daxia for free!
This, this kind of practice is a hundred times worse than banditry! Even if these vassal countries and tribes want to plunder their neighbors' people, they still rob them with swords and guns in bloody battles. How can there be such an easy talk like Lu Gui?
As soon as you touch your lips, you ask for it?
More than a hundred envoys shouted angrily for a while, but Lu Gui slowly grabbed a handful of green vegetable leaves on the plate with his fingers and stuffed it into his mouth with relish. He said coldly: "
You don’t have to pay tribute. Those who don’t pay tribute will be exterminated! No men will be killed, but women... I don’t mind having hundreds of thousands more beauties in the palace."
No one spoke again. If the king of Daxia said that he wanted to destroy a certain country or clan, he would definitely not be merciful. The huge Daxia army could easily kill all the men of any vassal force, and then attack them
The wives and daughters left behind did whatever they wanted. Even though Daxia, whose military strength had suffered a devastating blow, was still not a behemoth they could resist.
All the envoys lowered their heads, indicating their submission on this matter. Naturally, no one would refute the ban on any marriage except within the territory of Daxia for three years. No marriage is allowed for three years.
It is nothing more than giving Daxia a chance to recover its vitality and increase its population in three years. How many craftsmen were killed or injured in the construction of the Tianzhen Tower, and Andor, Thor and their secret transformation captured many civilians and how many civilians died during the transformation.
In the Battle of Heaven, how many civilians responsible for logistics supply and Daxia's huge army were reduced to ashes. These lost people need time to reproduce.
In three years, as long as the royal court orders all couples in Daxia to have children within these three years, then most of Daxia's population will recover in three years.
Since he can even agree to the condition of paying 20% of his subjects as tribute, what is a big deal if his clan is not allowed to marry for three years? As long as Lu Gui doesn't get angry and doesn't send troops to attack him, he will be very lucky.
.
Seeing that the envoys sitting below no longer complained, Lu Gui nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, you all can eat and drink to your heart's content. Remember, when you go back, tell your country leader and clan leader that this year's tribute can be
It must be delivered in time. If it is delayed, people will die, many, many people will die."
Many, many people are going to die...
A wisp of evil cold air filled the hall, and everyone except Lu Gui bowed their heads deeply.
However, in the end, a brave man stood up. The black-faced old man was trembling and saluted Lu Gui, and stammered: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I have agreed on the tribute and the people."
I wonder if your Majesty, can you tell us clearly where the soldiers from our countries and clans who have vassed Daxia and who were transferred to Daxia a few months ago have gone?"
Lu Gui's face turned cold, his eyes were filled with lightning, and his whole body made a crackling sound of electricity. He glanced at the old man coldly, and slowly raised his right hand. The black-faced old man shrank violently,
Holding his head, he screamed: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life! I dare not offend Your Majesty. It's really because the 230,000 troops sent to Daxia by our country are already our country's entire military force. Now our country can't even
There are no men left who can carry a spear!"
Lu Gui blinked his eyes, frowned and asked: "Is your Yu Kingdom bordering the Dongyi people? Did they bully you?"
The old man said respectfully: "Yes!"
"Very good. I will give you a little explanation, and then I will ask the Dongyi people to stay away from the Kingdom of Yu." Lu Gui nodded gently, just as the joy on the old man's face just appeared.
, a bolt of lightning shot out from his finger, smashing the old man into pieces.
"Now, I want to tell you." Lu Gui shouted loudly without changing his face: "I, the king, will let you, I, the king, lead your scumbag troops to do something that no one can do in the ages.
Great achievements!"
He took out a sun-shooting bow from his belt, and Lu Gui placed a giant arrow made of pure gold on the bow string. He laughed wildly and said: "I led Daxia's invincible army and your rubbish that just made up the numbers.
Heavenly Court! Listen carefully! I have successfully wiped out Heavenly Court! The gods of heaven, witch gods, and all the gods in the three realms have been annihilated by me, Daxia!"
Lu Gui smiled grimly: "There are no more gods in the three realms, only me! Only me, Lu Gui! I will be the only god, the only supreme, and the only master of the three realms!"
The expressions of the envoys turned pale, and they looked at Lu Gui in disbelief. They heard some clues from Lu Gui's crazy laughter. Lu Gui said that he had annihilated all the gods. This thing should be true! Could it be?
, Daxia really has the strength to kill the gods! And also wiped out all the great immortal gods? No wonder the Fangfeng family and the Xiangliu family in Daxia were completely wiped out, and the other's power was greatly damaged, and many Wu families disappeared without a trace overnight.
, I guess that’s the reason?
Under the counterattack of the gods, they could still survive and return to the human world. Lu Gui...or Daxia...their strength is really terrifying.
The envoys finally understood one thing: Daxia is the master of this world no matter what. As for the armies of their various countries and races... is it necessary to continue asking?
The long arrow in Lu Gui's hand shot out, and several rays of golden light flashed away. Several large holes as wide as water tanks were shot out of the heavy ceiling of the hall. Lu Gui had ordered several huge skin bags to be placed on the roof of the hall in advance.
, which was filled with the blood of animals and sealed with witchcraft secrets. At this time, the arrow penetrated the skin bag, and a large amount of blood poured down. There was blood on the ground in the hall two feet deep, and the envoys were splashed with blood.
His face and nose were filled with the pungent smell of blood.
"On that day, I held a sun-shooting bow and shot countless gods!"
Lu Gui laughed wildly and said: "I have shot countless gods!"
"I have killed countless gods!"
Holding the divine bow in hand, Lu Gui pointed his finger at the sky and said with a smile: "Among the three realms, I am the only one who is supreme! Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish!"
The envoys and Xiang Liubo knelt on the ground at the same time, ignoring the thick blood on the ground that smelled like a fish, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty Shenwu, the Supreme of the Three Realms!"
Lu Gui nodded vigorously and repeated with great ambition: "I have killed countless gods... If you have other intentions, you will exterminate your clan and destroy your family!"
The violent aura was so suppressed that no one in the hall dared to move. Lu Gui's eyebrows were twitching, his eyes were shining with pride. He had fallen into a hypnotic state, forcing himself to believe that he had shot countless gods.
It was he who led the Great Xia army to slaughter those gods.
The great achievements are unparalleled in the history. Such a grand and hegemony, even if a few soldiers were killed and the people in the world were reduced by 50 to 60% of the population, what does it mean?
Lu Gui raised his head high with satisfaction, looked at the soft skin hanging down from the hole in the ceiling, and said in a low voice: "Within three terms, you will be the only one for me. Good, great good!"
Two chamberlains moved in nervously from outside the palace. One of the chamberlains fell to his knees and cautiously reported: "Your Majesty..."
Before he finished speaking, golden light flashed, and a giant fine-gold arrow shot the upper body of the chamberlain to pieces. Lu Gui roared murderously: "Presumptuous! Bold! Who asked you to come in?"
He reached out to touch the arrows again, but found nothing. The treasury was empty. He only made a few giant arrows made of fine gold, but they had been used up by him long ago.
Lu Gui glared at the remaining servant and yelled wildly: "Damn you bitch, what's the matter? I'm going to confiscate your home and exterminate your clan!"
The servant was so frightened that he fell to the ground and screamed: "Your Majesty, the envoy from Dongyi brought Hou Yi's documents to see you!"
"An envoy from Dongyi?" Lu Gui suddenly remembered the Dongyi people's attack on Huju Pass two days ago. He jumped on his feet and yelled: "Tell those damn guys to come in! Xiang Liuhui, go and supervise it yourself.
They told them to sign in and kowtow nine times at a time from the gate outside the palace. If they didn't state their name once and kowtowed once, kill him, kill him!"
Lu Gui angrily shouted: "Dongyi? How dare they be rude to me! Draw up an official document and ask the Dongyi people to present three thousand beauties. Otherwise, I will personally lead a million troops to massacre Dongyi!"
Xiang Liubo looked at Lu Gui blankly for a while, and amid Lu Gui's violent roar, he slowly and stiffly turned around to see the Dongyi people's envoy.
In the wide corridor outside the palace, the thin and shriveled Xiang Liubi walked alone, looking increasingly desolate. When he walked far away, he sighed quietly: "Your Majesty, the current Daxia can still suppress it.
Dongyi? At the beginning, we should have left a few troops behind to suffice..."
In the main hall, the sounds of Lu Gui laughing and scolding were heard continuously, and suddenly there were several screams. It was not known who was being killed by him again.
The entire Daxia Palace was plunged into violent terror.
Even the light reflected from the doomsday fortress in the sky was tinged with an unknown blood color.
