Chapter 302 The Sisterhood’s Plan – Assassination! Exchange of Interests!
Hawat could see that Duke Leto was very dissatisfied with the two-faced fence-sitters of the Space Guild. Then, he looked at Song Zhaomei and asked in a low voice:
“Manager Song, we are still holding the Space Guild’s Gaolie ship hostage. Do we need to arrest all those people?”

Hawat also despised the Astronomical Union’s opportunistic behavior, but whether he could arrest the other party depended on the attitude of the giant corporation.

As long as Song Zhaomei gave the order, he would immediately throw all those monster-like navigators into the dungeons of Arrakis to help them quit their addiction to spices.

“No, let them go first.”

Song Zhaomei shook her head and said calmly, “Tell those people in the Space Guild that I want them to fully cooperate with the major families in their attack on the Corino Royal Family. Spacecraft and navigators will be provided to the major families first.”

The Space Guild is now like a frightened bird. They are afraid that they will be liquidated by the Atreides family. Basically, no matter what they are asked to do at this time, they will not be refused.

What’s more, the planet Arrakis, where the spices are produced, is now in the hands of the Atreides Family. If these drug addicts want to continue to rely on spices to survive, they can only rely on the Atreides Family.

Hawat nodded thoughtfully, “Yes, Director Song.”

Song Zhaomei’s proposal is not unreasonable, although the Atreides family relies on the help of the giant cosmic enterprise to control a more efficient and advanced method of interstellar navigation.

However, this method has not yet been popularized in the Galactic Empire. If other families want to mobilize troops on a large scale, they still have to rely on the power of the Space Guild.

The Space Guild still has value at this moment, so it is not appropriate to liquidate them.

In addition, the Corino Royal Family has ruled the Galactic Empire for tens of thousands of years, has deep roots, and their political influence is everywhere.

At this time, if you want to overthrow the royal rule in one fell swoop, you must make more friends and fewer enemies.

Only by relying on the joint efforts of all forces can the Colino family’s empire be ended in one fell swoop.

……

On a frantically fleeing tall ship, a bloated figure leaned against a golden lion throne, his heavy, rapid breathing indicating his fear and panic.

“Damn it! How could that old man Leto defeat my Sadoka Legion!”

Emperor Saddam, who had just escaped from the shadow of death, roared in anger.

As the most powerful man in the empire, Saddam had never suffered such a devastating defeat, let alone faced such a dire situation.

The royal family’s iron-clad army, the Sadok Legion, was almost completely wiped out. All the major families heard the news and marched towards the capital under the pretext of protecting the royal family.

But everyone knows what evil intentions these princes are hiding. Once they are allowed to lay siege to the city, the Colino royal family that has lasted for thousands of years will really be in a state of change!
Emperor Saddam had never imagined that he would become the last head of the Colino family. Just a few hours ago, he was still the vigorous emperor of the empire.

The Atreides family, which was about to be destroyed, was just a toy at their fingertips, but with the end of this battle, everything changed.

Baron Barron was captured, all the members of the Sadoka Legion were killed, rebels were everywhere, and everything was over!
“That fleet could never belong to the Atreides. That old thief Leto couldn’t possibly build such warships. Someone must be helping them in secret!”

Emperor Saddam reviewed everything that had just happened in his mind. He was sure that the huge fleet was not the creation of the Atreides family.

There must be a mastermind behind all this!
At this moment, Emperor Saddam clenched his fists. As the heir to the empire, he had received the best education, although his character was a little lacking.

But in terms of intelligence, Saddam’s mind was still quite flexible, and he quickly realized that the ownership of the fleet was in doubt.

But this is all he could think of. Without more sufficient information, Saddam had no way of realizing the existence of the global giant.

“Whose fleet is that?!”

Saddam growled with gritted teeth. He was really unwilling to lose in such an inexplicable way.

The reason why the Atreides family was able to win this war was not because of their ingenious strategy, but simply because they had a super battleship array that was so powerful that it was despairing.

Any force with such a fleet could easily win any war like the Atreides.

So the question is, why did the mastermind behind the scenes choose the Atreides family, and why did he let old man Leto become the biggest winner!

“Emperor, please be patient.”

At this time, Virgin Helen walked slowly into the magnificent inner hall. She heard Saddam’s angry roar from a distance and felt more and more disappointed with Saddam in her heart.

Only those who can remain calm when faced with a catastrophe are worthy of the Golden Lion Throne. People like Saddam will break down and scream when faced with a little trouble.

Apart from lowering your own sanity and making more wrong decisions, it has no positive effect on the situation at all.

Saddam’s rage did not bring any benefit other than putting more pressure on his generals and allies.

However, Helen could understand the reasons for Saddam’s character. After all, Saddam had never encountered such a disastrous disadvantage in the first half of his life.

The family fortune and foundation left to Colino by his ancestors are so solid that compared with other families, it is like fighting against three pieces of a six-piece suit.

As long as they don’t take the initiative to give it away and play around, the Colino royal family can basically beat all the major families. They only need to win over one of the Atreides or Harkonnen families to sit firmly on the throne.

It’s a pity that this time, Emperor Saddam didn’t encounter another force with the “six divine equipment”, but a cheater.

When the two sides clashed, Colino’s strong foundation was shattered at the first touch, and there was no gaming experience at all.

Realizing that it was the Virgin Helen who came, Emperor Shaddam didn’t even bother to raise his head. He frowned and said to Helen with disgust:

“I’m in a very irritable mood right now, so don’t get in the way here.”

Saddam never had much hope for the sisterhood, an organization that could only add icing on the cake but not provide timely assistance.

Helen agreed to lend him a helping hand, but she hid in the tall ship the entire time during the battle and not even her shadow was seen.

Some people said that the Sisterhood instigated the Fremen to rebel on Arrakis and used them as an ambush, but after the battle was over, there was no sign of any movement from the Fremen.

Instead, his own Sadoka Legion was completely wiped out.

Now, without the Sadoka Legion left by his ancestors, Emperor Saddam is like a castrated pig. Apart from a few grunts of dissatisfaction, he no longer has the ambitions he once had.

Hearing Saddam say such nonsense, Virgin Helen’s eyes narrowed and she stopped with an angry look on her face.

If it weren’t for the Sisterhood’s mediation, the people from the Space Guild would have sold Saddam to the Atreides long ago, and he wouldn’t have the chance to complain here.

But no matter how angry she was, Helen could only swallow her anger and speak out to comfort Emperor Saddam.

“Emperor, there is no need to be nervous. We still have hope of turning defeat into victory.”

Helen walked fearlessly to the throne of the Golden Lion King, raised her head and looked at Shadam who was still in a furious state, and said softly:

“Please calm down, let’s discuss the next countermeasures.”

In Helen’s opinion, although the Colino royal family lost the war, the situation was not so bad that it was beyond redemption.

After all, they still have a capital and a large number of colonies, including other royal troops. Even the major families who go to the capital only come under the banner of “protecting the royal family.”

At present, there are actually not many families that have openly expressed their rebellion. The vast majority of families are waiting to see how the situation develops next.

The lion of the Colino royal family only bled a little and some of its claws were broken, but it was not completely weak.

Once something unexpected happens in the middle, those families will instantly change their flags and choose to stand on the side of the royal family.

“Haha, discuss? What’s there to discuss with those useless people in your sisterhood?”

Saddam grabbed a glass and threw it viciously at Helen’s feet, and the broken glass was scattered all over the ground.

At this moment, Emperor Shaddam was furious when he saw the Virgin Helen. He believed that the failure of the royal family and the Harkonnen coalition was also related to the sisterhood’s lack of effort. “Someone come!”

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen warriors in golden armor walked out from the shadow of the inner hall, staring at Helen with murderous looks.

Just as Emperor Saddam waved his hand, signaling the guards to pull Helen away, Helen opened her lips slightly and said “back off”, and the soldiers were stunned.

Helen’s voice control ability instantly controlled the guards who rushed over and scolded them away.

The guards who were affected by the sound control turned away with dull eyes, leaving Emperor Saddam and Helen alone in the inner hall.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the inner hall suddenly became solemn, and Saddam became a little nervous. He suddenly realized that Helen was not someone to be trifled with.

As the Saint Mother of the sisterhood, Helen’s voice control level is at the top master level. As long as she wants, this woman can take his life at any time!
“Helen, what on earth do you want to do?!”

Saddam looked at Helen’s calm face and felt a surge of fear in his heart. If the other party wanted to kill him, now would be the best time.

“Emperor, you know nothing about the power of our sisterhood. We can do much more than you think.”

Helen knew that the Atreides family had made rapid progress with the help of the Universal Corporation. It was precisely because of this that the Sisterhood had to unite with the Colino Royal Family in order to have a hope of turning defeat into victory.

What Helen wanted was for Emperor Saddam to actively cooperate with her actions and fight back against the Atreides.

Of course, the sisterhood is not monolithic, and some senior members are inclined to abandon the royal family and join the Atreides family.

After all, the Colino family has lost its most powerful Sadoka Legion, and with so many families rising up against the royal family, the royal family is absolutely the weaker party from any angle.

But for Saint Helen, the Universal Corporation and the Atreides Family must be eliminated because they control the device that can counter the sound control force.

Once they surrender to the global giant, the sisterhood will inevitably be disbanded and cease to exist, and their breeding program will end.

Helen didn’t want the sisterhood, which had lasted for thousands of years, to be destroyed in her hands. Even though she had no deep hatred with the global giant, she had to do this from the perspective of the sisterhood.

And now, Helen must help Shaddam stand up and regain his confidence in fighting against Atreides.

“Tell me what you want and what you can do for me.”

Emperor Saddam took a few deep breaths. He knew that Virgin Helen would not assassinate him at this time. This would not be of any benefit to the sisterhood.

It would only bring her endless trouble.

In fact, during the process of contemplation, Saddam actually seriously considered surrendering to the Atreides family, and then lowering himself to become a local lord and leading Colino to survive.

After all, the major families can be traced back to the holy war period, and they are all comrades-in-arms who are as close as brothers. No matter how much trouble they cause, they can at least let each other go.

But after thinking about it carefully, even Saddam himself felt that he was daydreaming. If he were to rebel, it would be strange if he did not kill the emperor with one blow.

The process of power transition is destined to be extremely bloody, how could there be even a little bit of mercy?

He must continue to fight this battle!
Seeing that Saddam seemed to be showing signs of cheering up, Virgin Helen nodded slightly. In fact, Saddam had also been talented when he was young.

It’s just that the Milky Way has been stable for too long, causing his will and character to be worn away over the years. If Emperor Saddam could stand up again, he might be able to fight the Atreides family for a few more rounds.

“The Great Galactic Emperor.”

Helen simply saluted to Shaddam, and then said sincerely: “The Sisterhood really couldn’t help with the previous war, and I don’t want my people to suffer more casualties.”

“But this does not mean that the Bene Gesserit of the Sisterhood are all weak and incompetent.”

Helen first explained to Saddam the reason why she did not contribute today. The main reason was that her expertise was not suitable for the job. Using the lives of the sorority members as cannon fodder would not help the situation at all.

What’s more, the training cost of each sisterhood member is quite high. They have to receive various professional training since childhood. The death of one of them is a considerable loss to the organization.

After calming down, Saddam realized that the Sisterhood was useless in fighting, so he continued to ask coldly:

“So, what else can your sisterhood do for me, and what do you want in return?”

Saddam was quite clear about the strength of the Sisterhood. This organization had long existed between the Empire and various families, and they had woven a huge political network based on blood ties.

Sometimes, when conflicts break out between two families, the sisterhood will even be asked to settle them.

Therefore, even the Colino royal family did not dare to underestimate the influence of the sisterhood, not to mention that each sisterhood member has unique skills, such as identifying lies and controlling behavior with sound control.

This is also the reason why Saddam invited the Virgin Helen to be his mantra master. He essentially did this to win over the sisterhood and show the good relations between the royal family and the sisterhood.

As the head of the sisterhood, Helen has good relations with the royal family, and can also benefit from developing more members and expanding the influence of the organization.

For a long time, Helen and Shaddam were in a honeymoon period, and the royal family needed the sisterhood to collect intelligence in order to maintain the rule of the empire.

The sisterhood also needed the endorsement of the royal authority so that it could stuff its sisters into the beds of dukes and barons of various families.

Just imagine, the sorority girls are already of high quality, and with the royal brand attached, they will definitely be best-sellers in the empire.

Under the development of Our Lady of Helen, the sisterhood organization has once again reached a whole new level, realizing the plan of 100% family territory.

It can be said that there must be members of a sorority in every aristocratic family, and without exception there are high-ranking figures.

But the defeat of the Colino royal family made Emperor Shaddam begin to doubt the loyalty and corresponding capabilities of the sisterhood.

Unless they can destroy the Atreides, this honeymoon period will come to an end.

“Members of the Sisterhood have unparalleled assassination abilities. We have left many hidden pawns on Arrakis, ready to serve the Emperor at any time.”

Virgin Helen smiled and proposed her own plan to Saddam – assassination.

The Sisterhood had been operating on Arrakis for many years, leaving behind countless spies, including many members of the Sisterhood among the Atreides family.

Even Lady Jessica didn’t recognize these people.

In addition, these sisterhood members are assassins who have the power of sound control. As long as there is a chance, they can assassinate core members such as Leto and Hawat.

Then the entire Atreides family would surely fall into chaos, and Helen only needed to instigate a few more retainers to cause civil strife in the Atreides.

The solution proposed by Helen finally aroused Saddam’s interest. Since the problem could not be solved, the person who caused the problem might as well be solved.

This is a good idea.

But the next second, Virgin Helen put forward her own conditions to Shadam:
“After the war, I need to take Jessica and Paul away. In addition, we have to share the use of the Atreides family fleet with the royal family.”

Jessica and Paul are the products of the breeding program chosen by the sisterhood, especially Paul, who is very likely the sisterhood’s breeding master, the legendary Kwisatz Haderak!
As for the warships of the Atreides family, there is no need to say more. With such powerful weapons and equipment, the Sisterhood must capture several of them for self-protection.

This is the same principle as the Sisterhood secretly developing the Fremen Legion to compete with the royal Sardokar Legion.

After hearing Helen’s conditions, Saddam’s facial expressions almost twisted. None of these conditions were acceptable to him!

The first one was the warship of the Atreides family. He didn’t understand what the Sisterhood wanted that thing for. Were they going to keep it for rebellion? That was impossible.

As for Jessica and Paul, these two people also have close ties with the Atreides family. If they are not killed, the royal family will be left with endless troubles.

Rooting out the evil has always been a fine tradition of the Colino family, and Saddam did not want to leave himself with this thorny trouble.
