Chapter 346 Interrogation of the Baron

In the corridor, Duke Leto and Duffy walked side by side, followed by the guards of Atreides, Duncan and Gurney.

"It happened faster than we thought." Duffy smiled, his voice much more relaxed than before, "The warships of the Union Government were too powerful, the Harkonnens and the Sardauka Legion were no match at all, and the war ended one-sidedly."

If he hadn't considered the occasion, he would have laughed out loud.

Atreides and Harkonnens were sworn enemies, but Harkonnens had monopolized the spice mining business in Arrakis for the past eighty years, and his strength was growing day by day, and he even planned to destroy Atreides.

Atreides could only focus on defense.

Fortunately, the Union Government came out of nowhere and extended a helping hand to Atreides, reversing the situation in an instant.

Harkonnens' army was exhausted, Baron Harkonnens was captured, and the baron's nephew who might inherit Harkonnens' title in the future was killed on the spot.

Although Atreides has not yet set foot on Jedi Prime, the Harkonnen family is already dead in name only.

"Have you contacted the other families? Are they willing to cooperate with us?" Duke Leto was in high spirits. This victory made him regain the ambitious feeling of his youth.

Dufei showed a happy expression. He smiled and said, "When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. Without the Sadoka Legion, no family wants to pay taxes to the royal family anymore. Their army has set off."

For a long time, the royal family has relied on the fierce Sadoka Legion to intimidate the galaxy.

Now that the Sadoka Legion has been annihilated, the major families have suddenly become daring and outspoken, and they all marched towards the royal family's home planet, ready to settle accounts with the royal family.

"Very good, wait for me to say a few words to the baron, and then we will set off." Duke Leto did not hide his ambition. He said loudly, "The royal family has repeatedly abused tyranny. It's time to give power to virtuous people."

As for who is a virtuous person? Haha!

At this time, everyone walked outside a heavily guarded room.

"My Lord Duke." The guard in the room hurried forward to salute, and he said in a deep voice, "We have searched him from all sides. He has no weapons. You can talk to him without worry."

Duke Leto nodded slowly.

A full search means that from inside to outside, even the teeth and anus will be checked to ensure that there is no poison gas or the like. Therefore, unless the sound is mastered, there is no threat to those who have been searched from all sides.

At the signal of Duffy's eyes, the guard in the room opened the closed door.

Duke Leto strode in.

"Baron, you probably didn't expect us to meet in this occasion, right?" Duke Leto's eyes fell on the baron at the end of the long table.

Baron Harkonnen was naked, his hands and feet were handcuffed to the chair, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

"Haha, it's just a matter of success and failure." Baron Harkonnen laughed at himself.

At this point, Baron Harkonnen's heart calmed down. He looked at the majestic Duke Leto quietly and asked in confusion: "When did you build that battleship? Neither we nor the royal family received any news. We checked your bank accounts and found no traces of large-scale fund transfers."

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. There is nothing to say about this.

The only thing Baron Harkonnen couldn't understand was how Atreides built such a powerful battleship under the noses of him and the royal family, and won the war with just this battleship.

"This battleship was not built by us." Duke Leto was not going to let Baron Harkonnen survive tonight. He generously explained to Baron Harkonnen, "We found a powerful ally from outside the Milky Way. This battleship was lent to us by them. We have 35 similar battleships. You are facing only one of the battleships in the entire fleet tonight."

A powerful ally from outside the Milky Way?

Baron Harkonnen was stunned.

This word made his CPU burn. He never thought that the battleships of Atreides came from this way. People from outside the "river" borrowed them.

What a joke?

"I'm about to die. Do you think it's fun to lie to me?" Baron Harkonnen couldn't believe what Duke Leto said. He said in a deep voice, "The Andromeda Galaxy, which is closest to the Milky Way, is millions of light years away. No one can cross such a long distance."

Duke Leto shrugged his shoulders and sat down at the other end of the long table: "I thought so at first, but look at their battleships. It turns out that they can only be a powerful civilization from outside the Milky Way."

"The Galactic Empire is not so powerful."

Baron Harkonnen was silent.

Duke Leto paused and added: "Besides this, how else can we come up with such a powerful battleship out of thin air without mobilizing funds?"

Baron Harkonnen was a little dazed.

Indeed, only if Duke Leto got the help of a powerful civilization that could cross millions of light years could he create a super battleship that could defeat the Harkonnen army and the Sadoka Legion out of thin air.

Although the distance of millions of light years feels like a chasm, if anyone can cross it, then they are undoubtedly a force that is unimaginably powerful.

"In this case, we did not lose to the Atreides, but to the civilization that supported you."

Baron Harkonnen seemed to have aged several decades in an instant. He leaned against the back of his chair weakly, and his voice became hoarse. "Why did they choose you instead of other families? Why not the royal family or our Harkonnen?"

Duke Leto shook his head: "Maybe it's because our Atreides were forced into a corner and easier to control."

He asked in return: "When you come to a strange place and have to choose a force to support, will you choose a strong and notorious force, or a relatively weak but well-known force?"

"Especially when the latter is facing a survival crisis."

Duke Leto has a clear understanding of himself.

Baron Harkonnen was silent for a long time. He figured out the whole story and said with a decadent look: "In a sense, we made you successful and destroyed ourselves at the same time."

"Maybe." Duke Leto did not deny it.

Baron Harkonnen was silent for two seconds and then said, "Let me go, I can give you Jedi Prime."

"Jedi Prime was originally mine." Duke Leto curled his lips and asked, "It's not appropriate to exchange my things for your life, right?"

Baron Harkonnen was choked: "You"

"I only ask you one question." Duke Leto leaned forward and said seriously, "Where is Dr. Yue's wife, the sisterhood member named Wanna, now?"
