Chapter 329 The Prophecy Comes True

As soon as these words came out, Duke Leto suddenly knew something in his mind.

Arrakis was the land of spices, and the Harkonnen family made a fortune lying on it.

He never thought that the emperor would transfer Arrakis to the Atreides family, but the Harkonnen family would certainly not replace advanced equipment with outdated equipment for no reason, perhaps as the diplomats of the coalition government said

The royal family and the Harkonnen family plan to use Arrakis to set a trap for Atreides and destroy Atreides in one fell swoop.

As long as they can destroy Atreides ruthlessly, other families will be unable to help Atreides even if they want to. After all, Atreides is gone, and they cannot fight against the royal family for a non-existent family.

Besides, no family except Atreides can call other families together to resist the royal family.

But Duke Leto wasn't convinced yet.

Although he managed the Atreides family prosperously and brought the Atreides family's reputation to the highest point in history, he never showed any disobedience to the royal family.

He did not believe that the royal family would be murderous towards Atreides.

The royal family rules the entire galaxy, and Atreides have never disobeyed the royal orders. If the royal family is so narrow-minded that it cannot tolerate even an obedient Atreides, it will destroy itself sooner or later.

"The Harkonnen family is about to leave Arrakis. After this happens, we are the most likely family to succeed the Harkonnen family." Du Fei's face was extremely solemn. He said with difficulty, "If the emperor really sends ten The Sadokar Legion assists the Harkonnen family in attacking us, and we will have no power to resist."

The military strength of House Atreides is stronger than that of House Harkonnen lying on the Spice Planet, but far inferior to the Emperor's Legion of Sardoka.

If the Atreides were transferred to Arrakis and were attacked by the Harkonnen family and the Sadokar Legion, which were well prepared before their footing was stable, the result would probably be the overthrow of the entire family.

Unless they disperse their forces in advance and prepare for a protracted war.

But in any case, Arrakis is not Caladan. There is no war fortress and resource warehouse that the Atreides family has operated for thousands of years. Once the war starts, the outcome will most likely be unfavorable to Atreides.

Even if Atreides finally united with other families to overthrow the Galactic Emperor, they would not be able to ascend the throne after suffering heavy losses in Arrakis. All sacrifices would be just wedding dresses for others.

Duke Leto frowned and tapped his fingers on the table, the anxiety in his eyes becoming more and more obvious.

After a while, he asked: "The coalition government claims to rule several galaxies. Is this credible?"

"Their battleship style is completely different from ours. They may really come from outside the galaxy, but we have too little information, so I can't give you an accurate answer." Duffy shook his head.

A clever woman can't make a meal out of nothing, and Mentaite can't create information out of thin air.

"But if what they say is true." Du Fei hesitated.

Duke Leto understood what Duffy wanted to say.

If what Qian Feiyan said is true, then the coalition government is undoubtedly the life-saving straw for the Atreides family.

"I won't see them, but I don't want to expel them." Duke Leto thought for two seconds. "Provide them with daily necessities and see if the emperor really wants to transfer us to Arrakis."

It would be fine if the emperor asked other families to take over the Harkonnen family, but if the emperor really wanted their Atreides family to take over Arrakis, then he would have to think carefully about the reminder of the coalition government.

Time flies and half a month passes.

"It really happened!" Duke Leto walked out of the room with a livid face.

Just now, a close minister next to the emperor called him and "congratulated" the Atreides family on their coming to take over Arrakis and enjoy endless glory and wealth.

The coalition's prophecy came true.

The emperor was preparing to transfer the Atreides to Arrakis, and their envoys were already on their way to Caladan to read out the order, and the minister's advance congratulations were tacitly approved by the emperor.

House Atreides is in danger!

Even without the prediction of a coalition government, Duke Leto knew that House Harkonnen, who had occupied Arrakis for decades, would not give up their cornucopia easily.

Atreides had never been at odds with the Harkonnen family.

There is no way that the Harkonnen family would willingly give up the treasure land of Arrakis to Atreides, and they would definitely hinder it.

Without the prophecy of the coalition government, Duke Leto would only feel that the Harkonnen family was planning to cause some trouble for Atreides. These troubles might not be small, but they were still within the scope of Atreides' response.

Even if the emperor intervenes, it will only help Harkonnen play some political tricks of checks and balances.

But after being reminded by the coalition government, the alarm bell in Duke Leto's heart went off directly. He asked himself, if the emperor really sent ten Sadoka legions to help the Harkonnen family, Atreides, who had just arrived in Arrakis, could Can you bear it?

The answer is obvious.

He had discussed this matter with Duffy half a month ago, and the result was that Atreides would definitely not end well.

"No, we cannot go to Arrakis under any circumstances." Duke Leto said categorically in the conference room, "We cannot go to Arrakis at the risk of the annihilation of our entire family."

If there was no reminder from the coalition government, Duke Leto would go to Arrakis with the mentality of seeking wealth through danger.

Because Arrakis is the only place where spices are produced, it can be called the heart of the empire. As long as they resist the trouble caused by the Harkonnen family, they can easily make money.

But after being reminded by the coalition government, Duke Leto felt that Arrakis was a big trap, and Atreides would be doomed there.

"No, but the emperor's envoy is on the way. Should we refuse the emperor and embarrass him?" Duke Leto's concubine Jessica asked with a frown.

Duke Leto took a deep breath: "No matter what, we will not go to Arrakis."

"My Lord Duke, are you overreacting?" Jessica pursed her lips and said disapprovingly, "We are the invincible Atreides. How dare the Harkonnen family offend us? How can the emperor help them?"

Duke Leto shook his head firmly: "We will not go to Arrakis."

Staying in Caladan, even if the emperor wants to punish them, they can survive.

He has already thought about it. Although their refusal to go to Arrakis offends the emperor, it also shows that they, the Atreides, have no ambitions.

Kaladan is the headquarters of the Atreides family. Even if the Sardaukar Legion is fully deployed, it will not be able to defeat them in a short period of time. Instead, it will destroy the dignity of the royal family.

He believed that the emperor would not send troops to attack them.

However, Dufei, who always agreed with him, put forward the opposite view.
