Chapter 297 Baron Barron goes all in! He wins everything in one go!
Arrakis, the headquarters of the Atreides Family!
In the dark and silent night, Dr. Wellington Yue quietly sneaked through the headquarters of the Atreides position.

As a top graduate from Sooke College, Dr. Yue has superb medical skills, and they have undergone pre-treatment at the college, which is brainwashing, which makes them absolutely loyal to the family.

Dr. Yue is the royal physician of the Atreides family, specifically responsible for serving Duke Leto and his family.

As for this doctor with excellent professional skills and loyalty, Leto usually trusts Dr. Yue very much.

But just a while ago, Song Zhaomei, the manager of a giant global enterprise, pointed out the truth that Dr. Yue was a traitor and asked him to be on guard against the other party.

So in the silent night, Leto, who should have closed his eyes and rested, suddenly appeared in the monitoring room of the headquarters, watching Dr. Yue's stealth movements coldly.

"It seems that Dr. Yue really betrayed our Atreides family."

Leto stared at Dr. Yue on the surveillance screen the whole time. Seeing that he was indeed a mole in the family, he couldn't help but shake his head, regretting his stupid behavior.

In fact, he had long noticed that something was wrong with Dr. Yue, and he also learned through spies that his wife, Vana, had been kidnapped by the Harkonnen family.

Originally, Leto hoped that Dr. Yue would confess to him on his own initiative, so that he could personally negotiate with the Harkonnen family.

After all, the relationship between the two families before this was just a conflict of interests. There was no deep hatred between them. It was just that they couldn't bear to see the other family living more comfortably than their own.

But now the emergence of the Universal Corporation will directly redistribute the interests of the Galactic Empire in "Dune".

There is no doubt that Universal Corporation will get the lion's share when the time comes, and the Atreides and Harkonnen families, as the few wealthy families, will get about the same share.

In addition, in order to balance the family power of the empire, the Universal Corporation is likely to support the new "Atreides Family" to fight against the "Old Atreides Family".

If the Harkonnen family had had a little foresight, knew how to adapt to the situation, and knelt down in front of the giant company to beg for mercy and admit their mistakes, the Harkonnen family would definitely not be treated badly.

As an excellent politician, Duke Leto certainly sees this clearly.

Therefore, he did not think that the current Atreides family and the Harkonnen family were in a life-and-death relationship.

On the contrary, rather than seeing the Harkonnen family being destroyed by a giant enterprise, he would rather see the Harkonnen family continue to exist. This is much better than the giant enterprise supporting a new family force.

In the interstellar war that is about to break out, the Corino Royal Family is the only force that is doomed to die.

This has nothing to do with who is more evil, it's purely about the needs of the world's giant companies.

After all, whether it is the Colino royal family or the Harkonnen family, both sides are evil families.

Even if you look closely, the Atreides family itself is not very clean.

In this situation where undercurrents are surging but the situation is clear, Dr. Yue chose the wrong side and chose to join the Harkonnen family who would cross the river and destroy the bridge at any time.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Paul felt incredible. He frowned and said in disbelief:

“Didn’t Dr. Yue receive pre-treatment from Dr. Su Ke? How did he get rid of the pre-treatment and do something that betrayed the family?”

Paul has a good impression of Dr. Yue, because every time after training, he would ask Dr. Yue to help him recover his tired body.

But Paul felt somewhat uncomfortable that such a close retainer actually chose to betray the Atreides family.

As Paul was speaking, Dr. Yue had successfully infiltrated the headquarters control console and shut down the shield generation device of Arrakis.

Without this huge shielding field, the army of the Colino royal family and Harkonnen could rush in at any time and raid the garrison of the Atreides family.

No matter which dynasty or era, robbing a camp at night is a military action with devastating power. At the very least, it can catch the enemy off guard and greatly reduce their strength.

In serious cases, it may cause a camp cry, internal morale may collapse, and the entire army may fall apart.

“Dr. Yue’s wife, Wana, is a member of the sisterhood.”

At this time, Hawat's sudden reminder made everyone realize the truth about Dr. Yue's motives: "Maybe Wana brainwashed Dr. Yue and erased the traces of pretreatment."

The so-called pretreatment is actually the "ideological stamp" that every Suk doctor will put on after graduation and work, guaranteeing 100% loyalty to the employer and never betraying him.

But this kind of pre-processing is just a very basic brainwashing method for the sisterhood members who are well versed in sound control. They can easily "flash" and complete the cracking with just a few words.

Although Dr. Yue’s pre-treatment may not have been removed by Wana, the mastermind behind it must be the Sisterhood!
"Those people in the sisterhood won't be able to be so proud for much longer."

Leto snorted. He was aware of the influence of the Sisterhood.

But from the mouth of supervisor Song Zhaomei, Leto had already learned in advance the attitude of Universal Corporation in dealing with the sisterhood.

If nothing unexpected happens, the sisterhood will most likely be forcibly incorporated into the global giant and become part of its department.

Regardless, this is definitely good news.

After all, the sisterhood, an organization of gold diggers, made its fortune from the very beginning by providing high-end customized wife services to the heirs of major families.

Although under normal circumstances, marriages between powerful families are the routine practice for large families to maintain prosperity and strength, only when the top class is solidified can it ensure that it will not be replaced by the lower class.

But the sisterhood is an organization that has the unique skill of controlling sound, manipulating people's minds and rumors, and specially training top beauties who are both beautiful and good at their jobs.

Isn't this much better than marrying the ugly little daughter of the neighboring Wang family? !

As we all know, God is quite fair in the distribution of appearance, and the children of the top class are not necessarily beautiful.

There are quite a few people who are ugly.

Rather than putting the rest of your life and lower body at risk by marrying a cunning and greedy daughter of a wealthy family for the sake of a powerful family alliance, it would be better to seek happiness for yourself and pick a perfect wife from the sorority.

In this way, under the normal supply and demand relationship of the Sisterhood having goods and the major families needing goods, the Sisterhood was able to develop and grow rapidly, and became a force that could not be ignored in the Galactic Empire.

Over time, the Sisterhood's members spread across all elite levels of the Galactic Empire, from navigators, to Sooke doctors, to Mentat.

If an elite doesn't marry a sorority wife, he would be embarrassed to say that he is a gang leader.

It became the tacit consensus that everyone only smoked Arrakis's "Spice Brand" and chose a sisterhood when marrying.

However, the Madame Madam who was in charge of the sisterhood members did not follow the routine to improve the quality of the girls' services.

Instead, the focus is on building relationships, establishing personal networks, and controlling the successors of major families.

The descendants of the major families and the royal family must have the blood of a sisterhood member. No bastards born by other wild women are allowed to remain!

By now, every family member in the empire has more or less the blood of members of the sisterhood.

With this wave of marriage operations, it is only a matter of time before the sisterhood reaches the highest level of power, but this conspiracy cannot be cracked.

The continuation of power always requires family inheritance. If there are no offspring, then there is no point in continuing it. Wouldn't it just be a waste of power for the untouchables below?

This is absolutely not okay!
Fortunately, the emergence of the global giant enterprise will forcibly change this complex and intertwined situation and help the major families to eliminate the deeply rooted sisterhood, which can be regarded as a great merit.

If they were asked to take action themselves, few families would be able to bring themselves to take action against the sisterhood.

After all, the members of a sorority are either their wives or respected grandmothers, and there are even examples of daughters of prominent families becoming members of the sorority.

And who would have the heart to harm his wife, mother, or daughter? In this case, only by completely severing the wife's connection with the sisterhood of her "mother's family" can he ensure that his wife will follow him loyally.

call--!
As the shielding energy field was shut down, Dr. Yue began to breathe heavily and rapidly, and he felt very uneasy.

On the one hand, Dr. Yue knew that what he did violated the professional ethics of Dr. Su Ke, and that his act of backstabbing his former employer would bring him disgrace to Su Ke College.

But for his wife Wana, he had to do this, which tormented Dr. Yue's conscience.

On the other hand, Dr. Yue did not see that the Harkonnen family and the troops of the Corino royal family took the opportunity to rush into Arrakis and raid the garrison of Atreides.

According to the established plan, as long as he shuts down the shielding field, it will be the turn of Harkonnen and the Colino family's army to take the stage.

But the reality now is that nothing has changed and Dr. Yue is left alone.

This made Dr. Yue even more panicked and nervous.

The reason why he chose to betray his old employer, the Atreides, was because he felt that Leto could not defeat the combined siege of the Corino Royal Family and the Harkonnen Family. That was why he took such a big risk, joined the opposing camp, and was willing to be a traitor to the family.

Although there have been many reports about the giant corporations in the Atreides family during this period, very few people know the inside truth.

Although Dr. Yue is a retainer of the Atreides family, his status is obviously not as high as that of a confidant like Hawat, so he does not know much about the existence of the Universal Corporation.

If Dr. Yue knew that the Atreides were protected by a global corporation, he would never have stabbed Leto in the back, but one wrong step would lead to many more.

At this point, he can't turn back.

In fact, as soon as Dr. Yue closed the shielding field, the Harkonnen family’s troops launched an attack on Arrakis.

However, because they were used to bullying others, they only attacked civilians who posed little challenge to them, which made the troops of the Harkonnen family consist of a bunch of weak but powerful soldiers.

With their poor combat capability, they could only spend more money and let the Space Guild's troops charge first.

As a result, before the troops reached the near-Earth orbit of Arrakis, they were forcibly intercepted by the fleet of the Universe Corporation.

The defense strength of the Arrakis star field is no longer what it used to be.

At this moment, the AI ​​drones circling the star field around Arrakis have a clear view of every move of Harkonnen and the Corino royal family.

Any slight movement by the other party will not escape the detection of the giant company.

boom! !

With a burst of brilliant sparks, an assault boat of the Space Association was destroyed by the giant enterprise's long-range laser cannon.

Seen from the surface of the planet, it was just an invisible ray of starlight, but this shot had already shocked the rest of the Harkonnen family's troops.

[Report, our landing troops are unable to break through the enemy's defense line. They have long-range large-caliber laser cannons! ]

Floating in a tall ship north of the Arrakis satellite, Baron Barron listened to the situation report from the front line and nodded disapprovingly.

"I knew the Atreides had been prepared. It seems they have been planning for a long time, and have been planning to seize power around Arrakis and spices!"

Baron Barron, who was full of confidence, took over the overall command of the front line and said, "With the strength of the Atreides family's troops, they will definitely not be able to hold out for long."

"Everyone, follow my orders. Attack their fleet first, destroy those useless giant warships, and then quickly land on the surface of Arrakis!"

Baron Barron was of course well aware of the weaknesses of this giant battleship. They only needed to sacrifice dozens of small spaceships to rush over and self-destruct with the enemy.

They are sure to win this battle.

Immediately, the front-line troops who received the order from Baron Barron immediately changed their attack strategy, turned around and launched a suicide attack towards the fleet of the Universal Corporation.

But what surprised the Harkonnen troops was that the defense of the Megacorp fleet was simply indestructible, and its interception force did not give them any chance to get close at all.

Most of the Harkonnen family's spaceships were shot down by the long-range laser cannons of the Megacorp fleet before they even flew a few kilometers.

Even if a very small number of spaceships managed to penetrate the deadly fire network, what awaited them was densely packed close-in defense guns!

A standard expeditionary corps of a giant corporation, each combat warship is basically equipped with powerful close-in defense and long-range attack gun systems.

If you look carefully, you can see that each warship of the giant enterprise fleet is surrounded by dense missile nests.

Coupled with the precise positioning of AI, it would be like walking towards the gates of hell for the Harkonnen family's spacecraft to reach the vicinity of the giant corporate fleet.

But now, the interstellar war has already begun. It is definitely not possible to retreat at this time. We have to charge forward even if we have to bite the bullet!
However, the efforts were doomed to be in vain, as the Harkonnen family's spaceships turned into fireballs and disappeared in the universe.

Up to now, only the troops of the Harkonnen family are catching up to serve as cannon fodder, while the Sadoka Legion of the Colino Royal Family has been slow to move, giving people a sense of being the sixth in line to grab heads.

Baron Barron knew very well that Emperor Saddam wanted the Harkonnen family to fight to the end with Atreides so that his elite troops could take advantage of the situation and complete the harvest of the battlefield.

Even though Barron was not convinced by Saddam's cunning behavior, he had to endure it.

As long as the Atreides family survives, the Harkonnen family will never be able to become the boss of the Lansgard Federation, let alone rise.

Although Baron Barron was very unhappy, he could not find any reason to refute. Without the leadership of the Colino royal family, this war would definitely not have started.

After all, the Atreides Family is the leader of the Lansgard Federation. Normally, the Harkonnen Family would not dare to challenge the Atreides Family openly.

Otherwise, the troops of other families would follow the Atreides family to attack me together.

But now that the royal family has ordered the fight against the enemy, other families are just watching the show from the sidelines, and few dare to act rashly. This is a great opportunity for the Harkonnen family to wipe out the Atreides family in one fell swoop.

What's more, in order to ensure the success of this battle, Baron Barron spent a lot of money to rent troops and spaceships from the Space Guild. With the help of his family's personal soldiers, Baron was going all in for the future of the Harkonnen family.

If the Atreides family is not destroyed tonight and that old man Duke Leto is not killed, the fate that awaits the Harkonnen family will be bankruptcy, decline, or even destruction.

The rise and fall of a family depends on one battle!
[Report! The opposing fleet is fully equipped with shields.]

Here, the Harkonnen family launched an overwhelming suicide raid and finally made some progress.

After finally breaking through the layers of firepower network and approaching the fleet of the Universal Giant Enterprise, they launched a dense rain of missiles.

After most of the missile rain was intercepted by the giant ship's close-in defense guns, only a few missiles hit the ship's external energy shield.

Seeing that the fleet in front of them dared to install the "Holtzman Shield", the Harkonnen soldiers who were performing combat missions suddenly became excited.

As long as they hit and trigger the Holtzman nuclear explosion reaction of the energy shield, it won't be long before these warships "explode" into a pile of scrap metal.

[Full fire, blow all of Atreides' warships to pieces! ]

Following Baron Barron's order, the Harkonnen family's long-range energy cannons quickly launched a continuous bombardment at the giant enterprise's fleet.

Countless dazzling and brilliant energy beams swept straight across the dark star field, like slender spears of light, piercing into the bottom of a deep pool.

Logically speaking, after being hit by such a strong energy cannon, the Holtzman shield should have triggered a nuclear explosion reaction and produced a violent explosion.

But what was puzzling was that the nuclear explosion reaction that the Harkonnen people had been looking forward to for a long time did not happen. The fleet in front of them remained as stable as a rock and did not reveal the slightest flaw.

This scene confused everyone. Baron Barron thought that the attack strength of his own troops was not strong enough, so he ordered the troops of the Colino royal family to rush up as well.

As long as the subatomic fusion nuclear explosion reaction of the Holtzman shield can be triggered, even the largest battleship will be blown to pieces immediately.

However, neither the Harkonnen family nor the commander of the Colino royal family realized that the shield technology used by the giant enterprise was not the Holtzman shield at all.

After enduring more than ten rounds of energy cannon bombardment from the coalition forces of the two major families, Baron Barron belatedly realized the problem.

They had no way to break through the huge fleet in front of them, and all their attacks were in vain!

　　Thanks to [20211205160959282] for the 200 starting coins reward!!

　　——Dividing line
　　It’s been a while since I last chatted with you all. Before I knew it, my first book has already reached a million words. During this period, the author will humbly accept any well-intentioned criticism and recognition he receives.

　　Some people had previously questioned the book's subject matter, and had given up after writing less than 40 words. But now, it has reached a million words and will soon reach 110 million words.

　　I believe that the big guys who have read this far can tell that this book is not well written. In fact, it is just an ordinary amateur writing. I also position this book as an ordinary amateur writing. It is enough for me to be able to finish and write a clear story.

　　The opening setting of this book is quite bad, and the first cyberpunk line is a bit too long, so it discouraged many people. For those who can read to this point, I can only say that it is true love!

　　During this period, I had a strong urge to start over and rewrite the beginning, but after thinking it over, I decided to continue writing with the "mistakes". It was enough to make the subsequent plot complete and fluent.

　　As for the front, just make do with it. Make sure the plot later on is not too toxic and the protagonist's advancement rhythm can be considered a success.

　　In addition, I am not sure whether the next book will continue to write on this subject, so I will try my best to finish and write this book well. I am not sure how many words I will write.

　　But there shouldn't be any problem finishing it by the end of the year. In short, the author will try his best to make sure it doesn't get delayed or have a bad ending.

　　Finally, thanks to all the big guys who have read here, you are the most handsome! !
