Chapter 349 (Fourth update! Please pursue me!) What do you want to do?
Duke Leto casually crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it accurately into the trash can on the roadside, his eyes filled with disdain.
In his opinion, the Harkonnens were nothing, and the emperor was the big one.
If they caught Emperor Padishah, the Galactic Empire would be dead on the spot, and even if a mere Harkonnen family escaped, it wouldn't make much of a splash.
He learned from Peter's confession that the Harkonnens had spent all the money they had earned from the spice business over the past few decades in preparing for this war, and they also owed a lot to the Astronautical Guild.
Even if the Harkonnens successfully return to Jedi Prime, they will not be able to make a comeback for a while, and the speed at which they can move their warships to Jedi Prime will definitely be faster than the Harkonnans can raise the next wave of military expenditures.
It is nothing more than the difference between catching the Baron earlier and catching the Baron later. Rounding it off means there is no difference.
On the one hand, the Astronautical Guild left the Harkonnens to show their kindness to him, but on the other hand, they took the emperor away. This was undoubtedly a speculative act of hedging their bets, and Duke Leto scorned this.
Relying on its monopoly on interstellar shipping and interstellar banking, the Astronautical Guild has given Atreides a lot of eye drops in the past.
A mere Harkonnen family is not enough to reduce Duke Leto's distaste for the Astronautical Guild. When he sweeps across the galaxy and ascends to the Golden Lion Throne, he will be the first to liquidate the Astronautical Guild!
Dufee could see Duke Leto's dissatisfaction, and he whispered: "We are still holding the Aeronautical Guild's highship, are we going to arrest the people on the highship?"
He also looked down upon the speculative behavior of the Aerospace Guild. As long as Duke Leto gave an order, he would throw those members of the Aerospace Guild who had mutated like monsters into the dungeon to help them kick their addiction to spices.
"No, let them go." Duke Leto said calmly, "But before letting them go, tell them to cooperate with other families' attacks on the Collino family and not to hold us back."
Du Fei nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, Your Majesty the Duke!"
Although they have relied on the coalition government to master a method of interstellar movement that does not rely on navigators, this method has not yet become popular in the galaxy. Other families still need the help of the Astronautical Guild if they want to mobilize their forces on a large scale.
It would be inappropriate for them to be at odds with the Aerospace Guild at this time.
After all, the Colino family has ruled the galaxy for ten thousand years, and their traces are everywhere. To clear these traces requires the concerted efforts of all families. The Atreides family alone does not know how long it will take to clean up.
"The galaxy is going to change." Duke Leto murmured.
In the dark spaceship, a fat figure leaned on the golden Lion Throne. His heart was full of anger and fear.
"Impossible! Why should they?"
Emperor Padishah has not yet recovered from his failure. This man who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth has always had a smooth life. He has never suffered such a disastrous defeat, let alone felt such an imminent threat. .
The Sadokar Legion, which the royal family relied on, was completely wiped out. All the major families marched towards the capital. If they were not careful, the Golden Lion Throne, which the Colino family had inherited for tens of thousands of years, would change hands.
Padishah never thought that he would become the last monarch, and everything was clearly planned by him.
"That battleship definitely does not belong to Atreides!" Padisha reviewed the battle in his mind, and he said firmly, "The painting on the battleship has nothing to do with Atreides. If this battleship is Atreides’s should at least have their family emblem on it! This is a battleship given to them by someone else!”
Padisha clenched her fists.
As the emperor of the empire, he had received the best education in the empire since he was a child. He immediately guessed that Atreides' super battleship was not built by himself.
But that's all he could guess.
"Who does this battleship belong to?" He was puzzled.
The reason why the Atreides family was able to win this originally lifeless battle was because they had an incredibly powerful super battleship.
Any force that owns this battleship can achieve a brilliant victory like Atreides did tonight. Why would this mysterious force that gave the battleship to the Atreides family give up this opportunity to Atreides?
Don't they know what it means to defeat the royal family?
It means destiny!
As long as the news of defeating the imperial family is spread, all families will become famous and form a force that can completely change the Galactic Empire. At the same time, the person who defeats the imperial family will undoubtedly become the candidate for the next generation of galactic emperor.
No one can resist this temptation, unless this mysterious force does not want to be the emperor.
"If you don't want to be emperor, why are you helping Atreides?"
"Why don't you help me?"
"I am the Emperor of the Empire. I can give you whatever Atreides can give you, and I can give you whatever Atreides cannot give you!"
"Why don't you help me?"
"Why don't you help me!"
Padishah's jealousy burned with rage.
He is the Galactic Emperor, and everything in the galaxy nominally belongs to him, but the person who gets help from unknown forces is not him, but the hateful Atreides!
He couldn't figure out why. His royal family was obviously much more powerful than Atreides!
"Emperor, be patient." Mother Helen walked into this magnificent hall designed to express the emperor's aura. She heard Padisha's roar outside, and her evaluation of Padisha was a little lower.
Only such people can achieve success by remaining calm during big events.
He yells when he encounters the slightest setback and puts pressure on his allies and subordinates. This will only make the already corrupt situation worse.
Padisha knew who was coming, and he cursed without raising his head: "Get out! Don't bother me!"
The Sisters kept saying that they would help in the battle, but in the end, the Sisters did not even send out a high battleship during the battle.
These old women watched the whole process and watched his beloved Sadokar army wither in the fire.
If the power of the royal family had not been greatly weakened, he would have had to have a violent attack.
Helen's steps faltered and she looked sullen.
She thought that if there was a sisterhood to mediate, the Astronautical Guild had sold Padisha when they were in Arrakis. How could it be Padisha's turn to be angry with her here?
However, the sisterhood and the royal family are now grasshoppers on the same rope, and she can only endure Padishah's offense.
"Emperor, why are you so uneasy?" Helen walked fearlessly under the Golden Lion Throne. She looked up at the furious Padisha and said in a gentle tone, "Why don't you calm down so we can discuss the next step? measure."
discuss?
What's the use of discussing it with you?
Padisha was furious: "I said get out! Don't you understand?"
"Somebody come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen warriors wearing golden armor walked out of the shadows. They stared at Helen eagerly.
Helen pursed her lips and said, "Back off!"
Buzz!
The warriors turned away with empty eyes, leaving Padisha alone with Helen.
"What do you want to do?" Padisha looked at Helen's calm face, and suddenly felt a trace of fear in her heart. (End of chapter)
