Contrary to what the Archon expected, their Changshouxing frigates were immediately defeated when they encountered the warships of the Black Mist Mercenaries, like a sheep encountering a tiger!
The enemy destroyed all of the frigate's long-range weapon turrets with a single salvo. It was quick and precise, creating a time difference. If the frigate had a few seconds to prepare, the outcome might have been different, but that's how it is in a duel between experts; a single second can mean the difference between victory and defeat. It's like two gunmen facing off. If the one who draws the gun first shoots the other in the head, no matter how well-equipped you are, you'll still be dead!
More than 400 warships were stationed outside, and dozens of them flew over the Alliance Government Headquarters, broadcasting continuously towards the circular building:
Everyone inside, listen to me, you are surrounded. Please lay down your weapons, raise your hands and leave the gate of the Union Government, otherwise you will be regarded as fighting back and killed! Don't worry, we are not pirates, just a mercenary group. We will not kill prisoners, but only to establish a new order in the Ludo system.
After the broadcast, the warship lowered ten small landing craft. Each craft had an intelligent robot on board. The robot's arms had been transformed into multi-barreled heavy machine guns, which was quite terrifying. Several mercenaries were hiding behind them and lurking.
Two men who looked like bodyguards took a chance and drove an off-road vehicle, rushing towards the cordon of intelligent robots with two automatic pistols.
The intelligent robot had no mercy or kindness. It raised the heavy machine gun in its hand and fired a long burst of bullets, directly turning the two bodyguards and their car into a hornet's nest.
The off-road vehicle exploded and burned, with huge smoke billowing into the sky. Soon, only a black frame was left.
None of the senior officials of the Union Government dared to rush out of the cordon set up by the robots. They asked their bodyguards to drop their weapons and surrender, and then left the cordon after being inspected in fear.
After everyone left, intelligent robots and several engineers from the mercenary group entered the Alliance Government Headquarters and began to take over everything.
A day later, hundreds of mercenaries began broadcasting to the planets using the Alliance's television station: "Rest assured, our mercenary group's president has stated that this is only a temporary takeover of the Alliance government. Once this is resolved, you will be allowed to re-elect your governors. The president will discuss with the demons of the third and seventh planets, aiming to allow humans and demons to coexist. Don't worry about the demon virus; a vaccine is being developed. The vaccine's name is Cao Wanwan, and it was she who provided it. Please remember this. Our next move is to recapture all planets that have seceded from the Alliance!"
The Black Mist Mercenary Group finally issued a recruitment notice, recruiting people with management experience to manage the countries on this planet and other planets.
After two days without the Black Mist mercenaries killing a single innocent person, the people of Longevity Planet began to believe that the new leader of the Black Mist was a peace-loving man, not the repulsive pirate he once was. Consequently, they flocked to the Alliance government to apply for positions; after all, everyone wanted to become a governor or mayor. Those who could reside on Longevity Planet were either extremely wealthy or at the top of their professions, so there was plenty of room for choice.
Wang Xiaohai left two hundred warships to guard Changshou Star, and the remaining three hundred began to fly towards the remaining planets.
The intelligent machine army advanced with unstoppable force, leaving the planet's frigates completely defenseless and destroyed. In just one day, the Black Mist Mercenaries captured Ludo's third through tenth planets. Almost without stopping, they immediately depleted the planet's defenses and then departed for their next target, leaving only one warship overhead as a deterrent.
On the eleventh planet, the machine army encountered the most dangerous situation since the war began - the independence army hid a remote-controlled nuclear weapons and antimatter weapons in outer space to carry out a wide-area attack.
Fortunately, the Black Mist fleet deployed in a very cautious formation, so only the five warships at the front were lost. Fortunately, the Robot Corps quickly learned their lesson and, in future advances, deployed an unmanned ship as a scout, only advancing when it was safe.
The resistance of the Independence Army was fierce, but it was useless. In the face of absolute strength, their headquarters was quickly captured, just like the Alliance Government, and they were taken over by the Black Mist Mercenaries.
In less than a week, the Black Mist Mercenaries conquered the Ludo Galaxy, and all planets except the seventh were under the jurisdiction of the Black Mist Mercenaries. The number of Black Mist Mercenaries also increased to hundreds of thousands, and the team became even stronger!
After conquering the Ludo Galaxy, Wang Xiaohai instructed Yu Chuanzong to declare the Black Mist United States. He then flew to the Seventh Planet with a hundred warships. He intended to engage in peace talks with the evil spirits of the Seventh Planet. He held no aversion to the evil spirits; after all, he had once been one of them, and there were both good and bad among them. It was not appropriate to label them all bad. The distinction between good and bad was artificial; the correct view was that the evil spirits were more likely to reveal their true nature.
The battleships were still invincible against the evil spirits, and the seventh planet surrendered without any resistance.
Wang Xiaohai flew over the seventh planet and discovered that the evil spirits had built many new cities and kingdoms, with many warriors living there. He even sensed the presence of awakened beings. An awakened being was as powerful as a battleship, perhaps even more agile and troublesome than a battleship.
He came to the sky above the evil spirit capital city taken over by intelligent robots and met with the president of the evil spirit tribe.
When Wang Xiaohai arrived at the conference room, he was shocked - because the president of the evil spirit tribe was actually an acquaintance, Cheng Yan, the son of Qingliu City Council Chairman, someone with whom he had a good relationship!
"Wang Xiaohai, is that you?" Cheng Yan was taken aback when he came over to shake hands. "Are you the leader of the Black Mist Mercenary Group? Were you also sucked into the Ludo Galaxy by the inky vortex?"
"You have so many questions. Let's sit down and talk." Wang Xiaohai said, "I was also wondering how you became the president of the evil spirits."
"Should we talk about it here?" Cheng Yan looked at the crowd around him.
"Then find an empty room." Wang Xiaohai said.
Then the two of them walked to a small cubicle next to the conference room and slammed the door shut to prevent reporters from eavesdropping.
Cheng Yan briefly explained to Wang Xiaohai that he had been drawn to this place along with thousands of other people from Qingliu City. Since he was the only warrior in such an unfamiliar place, he naturally became the leader of his group. Later, demonic spirits appeared, seemingly former members of the Yueying Nation, subordinates of Wu Ciren. They spread a virus, aiming to make Planet Seven their new home. Over the next few months, Cheng Yan and his group united with the indigenous people to fight the demonic spirits, acquiring powerful weapons and gaining the necessary leverage to fight the Yueying Nation's former inmates. They later founded the new Qingliu Nation, with Cheng Yan appointed its first president.
"Are you living with humans now and fighting against the obvious evil spirits?" Wang Xiaohai asked.
"That's right." Cheng Yan said dejectedly, "I always thought I was human. It wasn't until I came to this galaxy that I realized we are all evil spirits. We are just evil spirits with hidden genes, so they rarely show up."
"I was also shocked when I first found out." Wang Xiaohai comforted Cheng Yan, "Is Yunmei with you? Have you seen her?"
"Who is Yunmei?" Cheng Yan asked in confusion, "Your new lover?"
