Chapter 291: The conspiracy is revealed! Rage! A galactic war is inevitable

Chapter 291 Revealing the conspiracy! fury! The galactic war is inevitable!

After completing a set of authorization ceremonies, the royal delegation stood under the high platform.

The emperor's messenger raised his head and looked up at Duke Leto, but his eyes were full of pride and his voice was quite arrogant, as if he was the noble who was about to be rewarded:

"By the grace of Shadam IV of House Corinor, I stand before you as a royal envoy."

"Those who came to witness the awarding include members of the royal family, representatives of the Astronautical Guild, and the Holy Mother from Bene Gesserit."

The envoy still knew nothing about what was about to happen next. He was still following the procedure and introducing the members who would witness this award to Leto to demonstrate the credibility of the royal family.

After saying that, the messenger got to the point:

"Emperor's decree!"

The messenger unfolded the scroll that had been prepared and announced to the Atreides family: "The Atreides family will take over Arrakis immediately, take charge of the place, and take charge of the spice trade!"

After the words fell, the messenger looked at Leto, waiting for the other party to follow the procedure and say a word to accept the order, and then quickly completed the process of awarding the reward and reported to Arrakis.

And I'd better go back to work as soon as possible.

But what was unexpected was that Duke Leto, who was supposed to come to accept the order in a polite and respectful manner, actually did not follow the routine.

Facing the emperor's edict, Leto actually stood up straight in front of everyone and said in a cold tone:

"That boy from Padishah should come and give the reward to my Atreides family in person. It's really not sincere to ask you bastards to go all the way."

As soon as these words came out, except for the guards and senior officials of the Atreides family, all the members of the royal delegation present were stunned. They all looked at Leto with wide eyes and disbelief.

Did he hear wrongly, or was Leto suddenly suffering from a serious illness and dared to say such treasonous words?

Padishah is the name of Emperor Shadam. It is already disrespectful to call the emperor by his first name in public. He dares to add "boy" and ask the emperor to personally reward the Atreides family.

This is a complete conspiracy!

But how could the Atreides family, which had always been law-abiding, suddenly do such a thing.

And who gave Leto the confidence to dare to offend the royal envoys and publicly insult Emperor Shaddam!

However, before the envoy could reply with a question and scold Leto for his rudeness, Leto fired one after another and continued:

"The Galactic Empire has lasted for thousands of years, and the conflicts between the major families have become increasingly fierce. At this tense moment, it is our Atreides family who unites the various families with the Lansgard Federation."

"But that old boy from Padisha is worried that our Atreides family will use the Federation to rebel, so he is trying every means to eradicate our Atreides family."

Leto's words completely put the conflicts between the various families in the empire on the table.

Everyone knows that the leader of the Lansgard Federation is the Atreides family. Everyone also knows that the core interests of each family always revolve around the development of the Federation and what they can get from the royal family.

But no one said it clearly, they just wanted to be decent and maintain the authority of the royal family. After all, this galactic empire still belonged to the Colino family.

But now, Duke Leto has completely opened up the situation and contradictions, revealing the hideous wounds and sharp contradictions inside. This has already shown that the Atreides family wants to rebel!

As expected, the emperor's envoys, representatives of the Astronautical Guild, members of the royal family, and the Holy Mother of the Sisters were all dumbfounded at this moment.

If Duke Leto just offended the emperor and teased Shadam verbally with a few innocuous words, now he is pointing out the emperor's pain points to curse him!

The emperor cared most about nothing but power, and Leto directly picked on the contradictions between the major families and the royal family. This was already shaking the foundation of the royal family and was a complete anti-thief act.

The seriousness of the matter is entirely different.

For things like the Duke scolding the Emperor, everyone would pretend they didn't hear it, and they would even think that it would be better to do more than less, and they would be busy hiding it.

Just scold him, because the emperor will not lose a piece of meat anyway.

But things like rebellion are completely different. This is provoking the authority of the royal family!

But Duke Leto felt that he was not satisfied enough, so he continued: "That boy from Padisha only dares to lure our Atreides family to Arrakis so that Harkonnen and the Sadokar Legion can surround us and kill us. ”

"If he really has some backbone and courage, he should directly send his army to Caladan and confront our Atreides family head-on to see whose warrior is stronger!"

"What's the result? Padisha is just trying to win over the Harkonnen family and make our two families fight each other, so that he can benefit from it."

"This disgusting virtue is worthy of the Emperor of the Galactic Empire? Bah!"

On that high platform, Duke Leto, with his son Paul's surprised and somewhat respectful gaze, angrily cursed Emperor Shadam for what he had done to the emperor's envoys at his feet.

He revealed the emperor's conspiracy and despicable intentions without any qualms.

Leto's words also caused the Atreides guards present to hold weapons in angry hands and aim at the royal envoy in front of them.

As soon as Leto gave the order, they would immediately rush forward and capture these envoys.

For a moment, the whole square was filled with a thick murderous aura, and the atmosphere on the scene was so solemn that it made people stagnate.

At this moment, the Holy Mother of the Sisterhood in the Royal Mission, Gaius Helen Moses, was constantly making eye contact with Mrs. Jessica, trying to get her to tell her what happened.

Holy Mother Helen is the core leader of this sisterhood, the emperor's royal mantra master, and Jessica's biological mother and teacher.

Seeing that the situation here is going out of control, Helen is eager to get some key information from Jessica to know why Duke Leto suddenly made a rebellious move.

But in the face of Holy Mother Helen's signal, Jessica was indifferent and did not give any answer in sign language at all.

In fact, after this period of contemplation, Jessica decided to give up the breeding plan of the sisterhood and choose to stand on the side of her son Paul and husband Leto.

There is no way, the arm cannot twist the thigh, and the world giant enterprise has too much strength and resources.

During this period, Leto and Song Zhaomei, the director of the Universal Corporation, had another more detailed negotiation and communication.

Leto agreed to all the requirements of the Universal Corporation, and also promised to support the executive of the Corporation, Li Ang, to become the God Emperor, and obtain all the mining rights of spices.

In exchange, the Atreides family will also get their share of the big cake after the power chain of the Galactic Empire is broken.

It can be said that when Li Ang was away, the Atreides family was the "emperor" of the Dune universe. Although not in name, the actual power was already on par with the emperor.

Second only to the Universal Corporation!

As the only son of Leto, Paul will be the head of the largest family in the Galactic Empire once Leto dies.

As long as he does not rebel and fight against the Universal Corporation, Paul's status and identity will be above everyone else!

Now, the Atreides family and the Universal Corporation have reached a consensus, and the Universal Trade Circle business will also have a share of the Atreides family.

Spices, suspended stones, minerals, gold and other rare substances all have a part of Atreides!

Since lying down and starting to play can have the last laugh, who would bother to mess around? There is no need.

Besides, Jessica also knows the real purpose of the Virgin Helen coming here. Isn't it just to test whether Paul has the qualifications to become Kwisatz Haderak?

Creating the King of Prophecy is the only pursuit of the sisterhood organization, but in essence, this so-called Kwisatz Haderak candidate is the "puppet" supported by the sisterhood to the throne.

It is a means for the sisterhood to disrupt the royal bloodline, support their own children, and seize power.

What a bullshit King of Prophecy, in the final analysis, it is for the supreme imperial power!

Regarding this point, Mrs. Jessica has always seen it clearly. How can a puppet emperor who is controlled by others be more comfortable than a real duke who controls the real power.

Besides, when the Universal Corporation completely monopolizes Arrakis, the Sisterhood will have no spices and no way to train new truth masters. It will soon disappear.

Whether the Sisterhood, Mentat, and Navigators can continue to exist depends on the Universal Corporation or the Atreides family.

For an organization that is on the verge of collapse, what is the point of serving it?

Thinking of this, Jessica ignored the eye signal of the Virgin Helen and just stood silently on the side of Duke Leto.

"Duke Atreides, how can you say such treasonous words and betray the great Galactic Emperor's grace and kindness to you!"

At this time, the royal envoy no longer had the previous arrogance, and he was giving orders with an arrogant look. Looking at the solemn guards around him, his forehead and back could not stop sweating.

But at this critical moment, no matter how scared the messenger was, he had to bite the bullet and continue to use both kindness and force on Leto, saying:

"My Lord Duke, I believe you should know that the emperor's anger will burn the strongest things in the world, even the entire Caladan!"

"Of course, I think there must be villains at work here, causing you to have some misunderstandings about the emperor's favor. As long as you are willing to correct your mistakes, the emperor will definitely forgive you with his kindness."

The messenger was very clear about the current situation of his group. He knew that it would be meaningless to scold or rebuke Leto for rebellion.

Their lives were all in the hands of others. If they angered Leto, the other party would directly kill Xia Luo and they would be completely finished.

As an envoy of the royal family, the only thing he could do now was to use the royal power to exert moral and military pressure on Leto, and to appease the other party that as long as he did not rebel, everything would be fine.

In short, as long as they could leave Caladan alive and wait until they were safely withdrawn, they would have plenty of time to slowly settle accounts with the Atreides family!

Facing the threats and solicitations from the messenger, Leto ignored them. Instead, he glanced at everyone with contempt and fixed his eyes on the representative of the Space Guild.

Among the messengers, only the people of the Space Guild were different. They wore gorgeous clothes and helmets filled with red mist.

The red mist was the atomized spices. Through the helmet, they could inhale this substance at any time.

As for the rebellion of the Atreides family, they acted very calmly throughout the whole process, as if it had nothing to do with them.

After all, no matter how many dynasties change, the Galactic Empire still needs the navigators of the Space Guild and their services, otherwise the route system will collapse.

Therefore, these navigators are very sure that the Atreides family will not do anything to them.

But obviously, they expected it wrong this time!

Leto stared at the navigators who were smoking spices, and the murderous intent in his eyes became clearer and clearer.

Spice is an addictive substance, so the navigators who smoke spices are basically all addicts who can't live without spices.

Once the spice supply is cut off, these people will be in great pain, and who knows what kind of chaos will happen at that time.

Instead of waiting for these deformed monsters to cause damage, it is better to kill them now, so that it will be over once and for all!

Seeing the murderous intent rising in Duke Leto's eyes, the navigators of the Space Guild became nervous instantly.

Because they have seen the scene of their own death here through the "preview" of the future.

"No...!"

"You can't kill us, otherwise the Space Guild will blacklist the Atreides forever, and you will no longer receive the service of any navigator!"

One of the representatives of the Space Guild said in horror. These navigators who smoked a lot of spices also have some precognitive ability.

Although the accuracy and length of the precognitive time are not as accurate and long as those of the Sisterhood, they will get a certain temporary enhancement when smoking spices.

Seeing this, Leto smiled coldly. He knew that even if he killed these navigators now, it would be useless. If he wanted to kill, he had to kill the entire Space Guild.

"Don't worry, the enemy of my Atreides family is the Corino royal family and the Harkonnen family. As for you lackeys, it's not worth my effort."

Leto walked down the platform with a smile on his face. He slowly came to the messenger, frightening him so much that his legs were stiff and he couldn't move at all.

At this time, Leto snatched the scroll from the envoy's hand, and then stamped the seal of the Atreides family on the scroll, which was regarded as accepting the decree of Emperor Shaddam.

"I, Leto Atreides, accept the decree!"

Seeing Leto's sudden change of attitude, from scolding the emperor to accepting the decree, the emperor's envoy was even more confused. He didn't understand what Leto wanted to do.

According to what he did just now, shouldn't he kill the envoys and then rebel openly?

Why did Leto accept the decree?

"I spared your lives so that you can go back and tell the dog emperor Padisha that since he wants to destroy our Atreides family on Arrakis, then come!"

Leto held up the scroll, turned around and looked at the family guards around him, and said, "It's just right, let the Corino and Harkonnen families see the ability of our Atreides family."

As soon as the voice fell, the surrounding guards roared like a tsunami, and they responded to Leto's call one after another.

The roars and whistling winds made the members of the Emperor's delegation feel flustered.

Seeing Leto's crazy attitude, it was inevitable that a tragic civil war would break out in the Galactic Empire!
