Chapter 347 Interrogation of the Baron
In the corridor, Duke Leto and Dufy walked side by side, followed by Atreides' guards, including Duncan and Gurney.
"Sooner than we thought." Du Fei was smiling and his voice was much more relaxed than before. "The coalition government's warships are too powerful. The Harkonnen and the Sadoka Army are no match at all. The war ended one-sided. .”
Were it not for the occasion, he would have laughed heartily.
Atreides and Harkonnen are feuding, but Harkonnen has monopolized the spice mining business in Arrakis for the past eighty years, becoming stronger day by day, and even has the idea of destroying Atreides.
Atreides can only focus on defense.
Fortunately, the coalition government emerged and extended a helping hand to Atreides, suddenly reversing the situation.
Harkonnen's army was exhausted, Baron Harkonnen was captured, and the baron's nephew who might inherit Harkonnen's title in the future was killed on the spot.
Although the Atreides have not yet set foot on Jedi Prime, House Harkonnen is already dead in name only.
"Have we contacted other families? Are they willing to cooperate with us?" Duke Leto was in high spirits. This victory allowed him to regain the ambitious feeling of his youth.
Du Fei showed a happy expression and said with a smile: "Everyone pushed the wall down. Without the Sadoka Army, no family wants to pay taxes to the royal family anymore. Their army has already set off."
The Royal Family has long terrorized the galaxy with its ferocious legions of Sadoka.
Now that the Sadokar Legion was completely wiped out, all the major families suddenly became angry and outspoken, marching towards the royal family's home planet in unison, preparing to settle accounts with the royal family.
"Very good, let me have a few words with the Baron, and then we'll set off." Duke Leto made no secret of his ambition. He said loudly, "The royal family has repeatedly committed tyranny. It's time to give up power to virtuous people. ”
As for who is a virtuous person? hehe!
At this time, everyone walked outside a heavily guarded room.
"Your Majesty the Duke." The guard in the room hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said in a deep voice, "We have searched him in all directions. He does not have any weapons. You can talk to him with confidence."
Duke Leto nodded slowly.
An all-round search means that even the teeth and anus will be checked from the inside out to ensure that there is no poisonous gas or the like. Therefore, unless the information is mastered, no one who has gone through the all-round search is a threat.
Under the signal from Du Fei's eyes, the room guard opened the closed door.
Duke Leto strutted inside.
"Baron, you probably didn't expect that we would meet on such an occasion, right?" Duke Leto's eyes fell on the Baron at the end of the long table.
Baron Harkonnen was naked, his hands and feet were handcuffed to a chair, and he looked particularly embarrassed.
"Haha, it's just a winner and a loser." Baron Harkonnen laughed at himself.
At this point, Baron Harkonnen calmed down. He looked at the majestic Duke Leto quietly and asked doubtfully: "When did you build that battleship? Neither we nor the royal family received it. News, we have checked your bank account and found no trace of large-scale fund mobilization."
There is nothing to say about the success of the king and the defeat of the bandit.
The only thing that Baron Harkonnen couldn't figure out was how Atreides built such a powerful warship under his and the royal family's noses, and actually won the war with just this one warship.
"We did not build this battleship." Duke Leto was not prepared to let Baron Harkonnen survive tonight. He generously explained to Baron Harkonnen, "We have found a powerful ally from outside the galaxy. This ship They lent us the battleships, and we have thirty-five more of the same battleships. What you are facing tonight is just one of the battleships in the entire fleet."
A powerful ally from beyond the galaxy?
Baron Harkonnen was stunned.
This word burned his CPU. He had never thought that this was how Atreides' battleships came from. The people outside the "River" borrowed them.
Are you kidding me?
"I'm on the verge of death, is it interesting to lie to me?" Baron Harkonnen couldn't believe Duke Leto's words. He said solemnly, "The Andromeda Galaxy, which is the closest to the Milky Way, is millions of light years away. No one can Across such a long distance.”
Duke Leto shrugged his shoulders and sat down at the other end of the long table: "I thought so too at first, but if you look at their battleships, it turns out that they can only be powerful civilizations from outside the galaxy."
"The Galactic Empire does not have such a strong force."
Baron Harkonnen was silent.
Duke Leto paused and added: "Other than that, is there any other possibility for us to come up with such a powerful battleship out of thin air without mobilizing funds?"
Baron Harkonnen was in a trance.
Indeed, only if Duke Leto received the help of a powerful civilization that could span millions of light-years could he conjure a super battleship out of thin air that could defeat Harkonnen's army and the Sadokar Legion.
Although the distance of millions of light years feels like a natural chasm, if anyone can cross this natural chasm, then they are undoubtedly an unimaginably powerful force.
"In this way, we did not lose to Atreides, but to the civilization that supported you."
Baron Harkonnen seemed to have aged dozens of years. He leaned back in his chair weakly and his voice became hoarse. "Why did they choose you instead of other families? Why not the royal family or us Harkonnen?"
Duke Leto shook his head: "Maybe it's because Atreides are cornered and easier to control."
He asked rhetorically: "When you come to a strange place and have to choose a force to support, will you choose a force that is powerful and infamous, or a relatively weak force with a good reputation?"
"Especially at a time when the latter are facing an existential crisis."
Duke Leto has a very clear understanding of himself.
Baron Harkonnen was silent for a long time. He figured out the whole story and said with a decadent look: "In a sense, we have achieved you and destroyed ourselves at the same time."
"Maybe." Duke Leto did not deny it.
After two seconds of silence, Baron Harkonnen said, "Let me go, and I can give you the Jedi Prime."
"Jedi Prime was originally mine." Duke Leto curled his lips and asked, "Isn't it appropriate to exchange my things for your life?"
Baron Harkonnen stopped: "You"
"I only ask you one question." Duke Leto leaned forward and said seriously, "Doctor Yue's wife, the sister named Wanna, where is she now?" (End of Chapter)
