Chapter 884 Loyalty~
Feid Rosa first beat up his own brother Laban, then put a sharp knife against his neck and forced Laban to kiss his boots to humiliate him.
In the face of the threat of death, even a tyrant like Laban, who was known for his beastly ferocity, had to lower his proud head and give up his dignity obediently, kissing the other's boots like a docile puppy.
Although Fed Rosa's character and virtue were not good, he was chosen by the sisterhood to become the Holy Father. Whether in terms of intelligence or force, he was far superior to Laban.
Under the leadership of Fed Rosa, a wise and strategic commander, the Harkonnen army was like an unstoppable torrent, quickly sweeping across the spice farm.
They achieved amazing and brilliant results in a short period of time.
Not only that, with his keen insight and precise intelligence gathering ability, Fed Rosa successfully tracked down the secret crypt base of the Fremen.
Different from Laban, who is straightforward and only relies on sophisticated equipment to charge recklessly in battle, Fed Rosa is better at flexibly adapting to the actual situation and cleverly using various strategies to achieve his goals.
In Laban's eyes, those cunning Fremen who appear and disappear in the depths of the ground are like elusive moles.
No matter how many brave and fearless soldiers are sent to the cave to encircle and suppress, it will eventually be just a drop in the bucket and cannot fill the huge pit that seems to be a bottomless abyss.
However, the cave is his natural weapon in front of Fed Rosa. He decisively decided to use an ancient and effective tactic, old-fashioned artillery saturation washing.
This tactic fully utilizes the powerful physical kinetic energy advantage and carries out a devastating blow to the cave through fierce artillery attacks.
With a series of earth-shaking loud noises, the cave collapsed in an instant, and the Fremen who had been hiding in it and thought they were safe were suddenly covered by a rain of stones.
Faced with such a fierce and fierce attack by Fed Rosa, the Fremen began to retreat step by step, without any ability to fight back.
Although they were all brave and good at fighting, the gap in military strength and technology between the two sides was too large.
The Fremen, who were few in number and had backward weapons, gradually fell behind in this extremely unbalanced battle, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable.
Seeing that the situation on his side was extremely critical, Paul, as a leader, knew that it was impossible to continue to hold on.
So, he made a decision immediately: lead the remaining Fremen to migrate north on sandworms, hoping to find more like-minded compatriots and comrades to jointly resist the invasion of the Harkonnens.
Paul originally believed that this evacuation operation would inevitably encounter the crazy pursuit and interception of the Harkonnens, after all, the grievances between the two sides have been going on for a long time.
However, something unexpected happened to him-the Harkonnens did not send a single soldier to pursue!
The entire evacuation process was extremely smooth, as if the Harkonnens had completely ignored their existence.
The reason for this situation was that the old Baron Harkonnen and his ambitious nephew Feder Rosa had another fierce internal struggle.
Just when everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, Feder Rosa boldly sent two beautiful servants to assassinate the old baron.
Unfortunately, his plan did not succeed.
The experienced old baron easily saw through the conspiracy, played the two servants in his hands, and finally executed them cruelly.
Despite the nephew's rebellious behavior, the old baron unexpectedly did not get angry.
On the contrary, he showed extraordinary calmness and restraint.
The old baron earnestly warned Feder Rosa that it was not the time for him to take action now. He just needed to wait patiently for a few more days, and when the time was right, he would be crowned emperor!
Faced with such a huge temptation, Feder Rosa had almost no hesitation and immediately decided to shake hands with the old baron.
He knew that only by temporarily putting aside personal grudges and wholeheartedly assisting the old baron in conquering Arrakis and controlling its vital spice industry could he realize his dream of ascending the throne.
So, the uncle and nephew, who were once at loggerheads, instantly turned hostility into friendship and worked together.
However, behind this seemingly turbulent and thrilling game of power, there is a more unfathomable planner hidden - Mentat Dufi Hawat.
Whether it is the open and secret struggles between Harkonnen's uncle and nephew, or the development of the entire situation, it is actually under his control.
Hawat quietly assisted Fedrosa in expanding his strength and wings, and gradually induced him to rebel.
However, just as Fedrosa was ambitiously planning the assassination, Hawat quietly passed the secret to Baron Harkonnen's ears.
It was like throwing a spark on a dry grassland, instantly igniting the fire of the existing rift between the two, burning fiercely and difficult to extinguish.
But Hawat's carefully arranged chess game was far more than that. He also concealed an important situation from Baron Harkonnen. According to Gonny Halleck,
a fanatical religious wave was sweeping across the planet Arrax.
This wave was fierce, like a powerful storm sweeping over, making the rule of the Harkonnen family shaky.
The leader of this religious movement was respected by people as "Muad'Dib".
With a deeper understanding of this emerging force, Hawat's heart could not help but surge.
Because in the tactics used by those Fremen, he actually saw the figure of Harlek clearly, and even traces of the Aida River. What's more terrifying is that even his own fighting style is looming.
He couldn't believe that Paul was still alive?
But once this thought came up, it grew wildly in Hawat's heart like weeds.
However, reason told him not to believe such a possibility easily. He was afraid that there was a huge disappointment hidden behind the slim hope, and that kind of blow was enough to make him unable to recover.
So, despite the turbulent waves in his heart, Hawat still buried this amazing information deeply in his heart with his years of experience and calmness, and began to provoke the relationship between Harkonnen's uncle and nephew.
And Hawat's series of actions undoubtedly bought precious time for Paul.
Taking advantage of the chaos within the Harkonnen family, Paul's forces had to evacuate safely, quietly developing and growing in the darkness, waiting for the right time to deal a fatal blow to the Harkonnen family and avenge Duke Leito.
