American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

"Finally, remember this: your own safety is the top priority in all operations. I don't want to see any of you lost after this operation."

"Did you all understand?"

"Understood!!!"

"Very good, Frank, prepare for landing."

……

The planet Borodo's geographical location and landscape are somewhat similar to Earth's, except that the planet is more than ten times smaller than Earth.

Therefore, resources on this planet are relatively scarce.

In addition, the Borodo aliens are born with a talent for "plundering," which has gradually fostered a fierce and ruthless culture.

Shortly after birth, all Borodoians are selected to join the Borodo Legion by choosing those with exceptional physical talents.

Thus, they are trained to become qualified soldiers.

Legions with a talent for "plunder" develop by fighting to sustain themselves.

As Mike and his massive spaceship hovered over the planet, it attracted the attention of the planetary legion.

"An unknown spaceship is approaching; it looks hostile. Assemble the army immediately!"

From the observation deck atop the high-rise, Legion Commander Davis issued orders to his men.

In the more than forty years since Boris, the leader of Borodo, disappeared, Commander Davis has gradually become the master of the planet.

“Interesting, is this a welcome to our arrival?” Mike, who had also noticed the movements of the Bergrodo warriors below, said, “In that case, let’s give them a heads-up as well.”

"Frank, activate the spaceship's weapons and blow up that tallest building!!!"

The pyramid-shaped spaceship is equipped with a large laser turret on top, which is reasonably powerful, ten times stronger than the improved "Little Cricket".

It's just that the startup speed is a bit slow...

"Danger! Evacuate immediately!!!"

Upon seeing the energy beams illuminating the top of the spaceship and pointing directly at the building beneath his feet, Davis immediately realized the situation was dire.

After loudly alerting the other officers in the building, Davis disregarded everything else, spread his wings, and jumped off the building.

[Flight Talent] This is one of the many abilities that the Legion Commander can plunder.

It was precisely this ability that saved his life.

A tremendous roar accompanied by a shockwave that formed a small mushroom cloud, and the activated laser cannon blasted the building into pieces.

Commander Davis, who was still gliding in the air, was also directly blown away by the blast wave and rolled awkwardly to the ground before being helped up by the soldiers of the legion below.

"Damn invaders, they're starting a war!" Having suffered such a heavy loss without even seeing the enemy, Davis was certainly not going to let it go. "Then I'll grant their wish! Notify the legions to launch an immediate attack! I want them dead!!!"

The warriors of Bergrodo were war fanatics by nature and were not afraid of fighting, including Davis, the legion commander.

His first reaction after being attacked was to fight back.

As for the warriors of Borodo, since everyone has the talent of "plundering", their fighting style is mostly focused on physical enhancement.

Some of them stole the alien sandworm's talent and transformed into giant insectoids spewing acid.

Some even plundered the Mantis race's talent, transforming their arms into sharp blades...

The more advanced method involves plundering the [Mother Insect] talent, summoning countless insectoids to fight for one's own benefit.

In an instant, tens of thousands of Bergrodo warriors densely surrounded the spaceship.

"Prepare for battle!!!" On the spaceship that was about to make an emergency landing, Mike immediately issued the battle order.

He then looked at Frank and said, "Continue to operate the laser cannons and make room for the guards."

In the following minutes, the laser cannons on top of the spaceship were activated again, and after a series of laser bombardments, the Bergrodo warriors around the spaceship were almost wiped out.

Even when a few Bergrodo warriors with the ability to fly got close to the spaceship, their primitive attack methods couldn't cause any damage.

The spaceship landed, and sixty fully armed guards rushed out, each carrying a modified "Little Cricket".

The "Little Cricket," capable of blasting a small building apart with a single shot, is practically a dimensional reduction in strength when facing the "physical" combat of the Bergrodo warriors.

In addition, every member of the guard team is protected by a holy light shield blessed by Mike.

Therefore, even though the number of Bergrodo warriors was hundreds of times greater than the number of guards, the battle ultimately turned out to be one-sided.

"Let the legion hold the line. Send the 'slaves' up there first. I don't believe those few dozen of them can kill us all!" Seeing the heavy casualties among the warriors of Borodo, the legion commander Davis made a tactical adjustment.

It wasn't really a tactic; at most, it was about depleting the guards' weapon reserves.

Given that the development of the planet Borodo relies primarily on plunder, extraterrestrial life forms are naturally one of the resources they need to plunder.

Those alien races that were captured could help the Borodo people mine or be responsible for production, and they also served as food for the Borodo warriors.

Nowadays, they are being used as cannon fodder.

Wave after wave of alien slaves were pushed forward by the warriors of Borodo towards the guard.

However, the guards, who had already received instructions, showed no intention of stopping their attack.

With their ample weaponry, they quickly repelled the slaves and then crushed the warriors of Bergrodo once again.

Among them, ten special agents led by Marcus used their agility and mobility to directly attack Davis and other commanders.

After a fierce battle lasting half a day, most of the Bergrodo warriors who arrived one after another were wiped out, and the rest were mostly routed.

Marcus, the progenitor of vampires, grabbed the flying commander Davis and dragged him in front of Mike.

"I hate it when someone stands higher than me!"

Mike, who hadn't made a move since stepping off the spaceship, suddenly stretched out his right hand and summoned flames, burning the Bergrodo warriors who were watching from afar in the sky to ashes.

Only then did he look down at Davis at his feet and ask, "Do you know your crime?"

The history of the planet Borodor can be said to be built upon the disasters of other alien races.

This planet was born with original sin.

"It's all about the victors and the vanquished. I admit you're very powerful. Kill me or torture me as you please, but you'll never insult me!" Commander Davis retorted, his neck stiff, like a tragic "hero."

The problem is, he's not a good person either.

Mike was almost completely confused by him.

"Are there any other people who can speak to us?" Having determined that Davis's thought process was beyond saving, Mike turned his attention to the other prisoners that Marcus and the others had captured.

“Hello, esteemed outsider.” A Borodo alien stepped forward, straightened his clothes, and introduced himself: “My name is Draco, and I am the vice commander of the Planetary Legion.”

"You are right to try us, but could you please spare the ordinary people of this planet? They have not participated in the war of plunder; they are all innocent..."

Clearly, this vice commander named Draco is a sensible man.

Chapter 582 The Strongest in the Universe

“Interesting.” Mike stared at Draco for a few moments, then asked with a smile, “As a smart person from Borodor, do you know what’s wrong with this planet?”

Deep down, Mike wasn't a cruel person, so he wasn't really prepared to destroy a planet.

Therefore, he decided to give Borodo another chance.

Moreover, Mike used his mind-reading ability to tell that the Borodo alien in front of him was a very interesting person.

Unlike other warriors of Borodor who are passionate about war, Draco is actually a "pacifist".

“For any civilization, relying solely on war and plunder for development is not the right choice…” Draco replied, “Although Borodor is short of resources, as long as we vigorously develop technology and make reasonable use of every inch of land, this planet can still support all of us.”

"I also tried to persuade Davis to give up the war plunder, but I failed in the end."

"The warmonger perish in war; this is the inevitable result of the development of all things. Therefore, we have no one to blame but ourselves for the retribution we have today."

"I only ask that after you have eliminated us wicked people, you spare the innocent civilians on this planet."

If Legion Commander Davis is the hawk on this planet, then Draco, who knows how to reflect, is the dove.

"If you were to become the leader of this planet, could you guarantee that the Borodoians would learn to change their ways?" Mike asked again.

The guards are ultimately just "passersby," so to change the atmosphere on Borodor, a "smart person" is needed to lead the way.

Clearly, the person Mike chose was Draco.

"If I become the leader, I will do my best to restrain my people and teach them to be self-sufficient so that they will no longer invade other planets." With things taking a turn for the better, Draco realized that this was an opportunity, so he couldn't help but be excited, and his body was trembling.

Of course, this is not just an opportunity for him alone, but also a chance for the planet to be preserved.

"You traitor! The heavens bestowed upon us, the people of Bergrodo, the talent of 'plunder,' proving that we were born for war. And now you want our warriors to abandon war..." Davis, sensing the situation was turning against him, glared at Draco and shouted, "By doing this, you will become a sinner of Bergrodo—infamous for eternity!!!"

“No, Davis, you’re wrong. War will only bring sorrow and destruction to this planet. My proposal is precisely for the good of our planet. The history of Bergrodo will prove me right…” Draco retorted to Davis.

Just as the two dissenting Borodor aliens were about to start a debate, Mike called out to Draco and then used his faith to freeze Davis.

Once a person's thought pattern is formed, it is very difficult to change. Let alone a few words of debate, even three days and three nights of discussion will not yield any results.

Therefore, Mike didn't want to waste his time here.

“From this moment on, you are the leader of this planet. But before that, I think you need to find a more suitable legion commander.” Mike looked at Draco and granted him authorization.

However, the other party still needs to present a "pledge of allegiance".

"I understand~" With the opportunity right in front of him, Draco also became determined.

He looked apologetically at the former legion commander, Davis, then his right hand transformed into an abyssal insect and bit off Davis's head.

The scene was extremely bloody...

"The Abyss Zerg's abilities are not bad," Mike casually remarked, considering Draco had passed this hurdle.

He then continued, "I'll give you three days to integrate the legions on Bergrodo and remove those who disagree with you. During this time, the sixty members of the guard will assist you."

……

The transfer of power and the establishment of a new order are both fraught with bloodshed.

Over the course of three days, with the mysterious and powerful Mike in charge and sixty fully armed guards helping him, Draco eliminated many war fanatics within the legion.

Ultimately, with the help of a group of like-minded people he had previously recruited, he managed to take over the entire legion without any major incidents.

The next step, transforming the mindset of the Legion's soldiers, will be a long process.

Of course, what happened afterward was no longer Mike's concern. At most, the experimental modification failed, and he would have to go through the process again next time he came.

"Thank you for your hard work. You'll have a week to rest and recuperate. After that, we'll head to our next target—Serpent Lotus Star." Mike had reserved a building on Bologna to welcome the guard team members who had completed their first phase of the mission.

Strictly speaking, the attack on Borodor was indeed the first official mission since the establishment of the Space Guardians.

There were no casualties, but facing a vast number of legion soldiers, Old K and his men did indeed have a very tough time.

They are simply incomparable to a leader who slacks off whenever he has free time.

“Mr. Mike, Draco asked me to pass on a message. He wants to erect a statue of you in Legion Square. I wonder what your opinion is?” The next day, the alien dog Frank came to the building where the guards were recuperating and approached Mike.

Frank, the alien dog, is very sociable. In just a few days, he has already become familiar with many of the Borodo aliens.

In particular, his relationship with Draco was very harmonious.

No wonder it's an alien dog that used to be an alien scoundrel.

“I have no objection to someone building a statue for me, but you should tell Draco that my statue should not only be imposing, but also not too ugly,” Mike said knowingly.

Draco erected the statue simply to use Mike's power to suppress some people with ulterior motives within the Legion.

However, Mike is not one to lose money.

His "laborious" establishment of the Cosmic Guardians was certainly not simply for charity or to maintain cosmic peace.

The most fundamental driving force is nothing more than the power of faith or the value of corruption.

Yes, to subdue all races in the universe and thus extract energy from them.

The erection of the statue in the Bergrodo Square would obviously benefit Mike's energy collection.

After all, negative emotions like fear and apprehension are a good source of nourishment for Mike.

Seven days later, with his statue only roughly completed, Mike led his guards away from Borodor and headed to their next destination.

Although Mike is no longer on Borodor, his legend lives on.

As the statue was erected, the warriors of Borodor continuously contributed negative energy (fear, dread, etc.) to Mike.

As for the ordinary people on Bergrodo who just wanted to live their lives, they unexpectedly contributed a continuous stream of faith power to Mike.
