Chapter 308: The Imperial Army is annihilated! The Imperial Family collapses! Trial and execution!
“We’re here, release the AI ​​scout!”

The Spartan warriors skillfully operated the equipment on the dreadnought and released all the reconnaissance aircraft carrying a large number of micro-drones.

Dozens of reconnaissance planes flew towards Kaitan, the capital of Corino, at a speed close to the speed of light.

After a while, the terrain image of Kaitan appeared on the holographic screen in front of the center console.

As the reconnaissance aircraft continued to go deeper and survey, the overall picture of Kaitan became clearer and clearer.

As the capital of the Corino royal family for ten thousand years, Kaitan is dotted with various giant buildings. In order to promote the glory and authority of the royal family, there are only giant statues of emperors of all dynasties on Kaitan.

There are luxurious and prosperous sky gardens, as well as various imaginative art structures, the largest of which is a statue over 10,000 meters high.

In order to make good use of the space, the internal structure of the statue was hollowed out to serve as Emperor Saddam’s three-dimensional palace.

When he observed the magnificent palace, David immediately gave an order for the reconnaissance aircraft to release a small AI drone to scan the building from all directions.

Soon, through the detailed scanning and survey of the AI ​​drone, the members of the Zhutian Vanguard Team saw many dirty things inside the palace on the holographic screen.

Including but not limited to dukes, barons, counts of the royal family having affairs with the emperor’s concubines, guards and maids engaging in promiscuity, and eunuchs with dishonest hands stealing property.

Obviously, with the collapse of the Sadoka Legion, the order within the royal family began to collapse, and signs of chaos appeared from top to bottom.

Under normal circumstances, these people would definitely not dare to risk offending the emperor and ruin their lives like this.

However, these are not the focus of the members of the Advance Team of the Heavens. Their target is the Virgin Helen. Of course, they can also capture Emperor Saddam in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before David saw Helen’s location in a thumbnail.

But what was somewhat surprising was that at this moment, Virgin Helen was with Emperor Saddam, and the two of them were sleeping on the same bed together, which was a very lively scene.

It is probably because there have been too many changes in the Galactic Empire recently, which has caused Emperor Saddam and Helen to be in a very tense mental state, and they need proper exercise to relax.

Looking at the real-time images sent back by the AI ​​drone, Rita frowned. This scene was somewhat disgusting.

After all, the sight of the aged Virgin Helen having sex with the greasy and fat Emperor Saddam is simply an eyesore and lacks any artistic beauty.

“Should we rush over and take them down now?”

At this time, Chief Sergeant John asked, but he did not interrupt the other party for fear of appearing a little embarrassed.

In his opinion, launching a raid at this time would definitely allow the arrest of both Saint Helen and Emperor Saddam!

This is a God-given opportunity.

Spartans like the Master Chief and Rita are second only to the tall and mighty Astartes in the forces of the CosmoCorp.

But these Spartan warriors will find it easier to accomplish their goals when carrying out arrest and capture missions because their body size is similar to that of normal humans, making it easier for them to hide.

Coupled with their excellent physical fitness and strength, the Spartan warriors can basically crush conventional enemies with stability.

The imperial guards of the Colino royal family could not stop them at all.

“Well, of course we’ll go now!”

David nodded without changing his expression. As the saying goes, it is better to kill him while he is ill.

Emperor Saddam is busy plowing the fields at this moment. He will probably be too tired to walk soon. After all, women are like wolves at thirty, tigers at forty, and can even suck dirt when sitting on the ground at fifty.

It would be strange if Emperor Saddam didn’t beat an old gang member like Saint Helen to exhaustion.

After hearing David’s clear instructions, all members prepared for battle. They also knew that now was the best time to carry out the mission.

“Everyone, this time you must be quick, accurate and ruthless. Try to complete the mission as early as possible. Don’t let any target get away. Capture all the sisterhood members and core royal family members here!”

“As for the benefits of completing the mission, I won’t go into details. I just hope you remember that every effort you make will be recorded, and the giant company will not forget your contributions.”

“In a global giant, hard work will definitely pay off.”

Before letting everyone set off, David, as usual, gave the team members a mouthful of hot spiritual chicken soup to get them motivated.

As an executive who has entered the management level, the skill of making promises must be ingrained in your genes, otherwise it will be difficult to motivate your subordinates.

Of course, giant companies will fully realize the promises they make to employees at every level, which is exactly why giant companies around the world thrive.

After hearing what Captain David Martinez said, all the advance team soldiers responded, “Yes, sir!”

As soon as the words fell, the members of each group of the Advance Team of the Heavens quickly came to the hatch, took the assault boat, and after approaching the palace of Emperor Saddam, they all jumped out of the window.

In an instant, countless iron cans carrying Spartan warriors fell from the sky and smashed deep pits all over the palace, like a meteor shower hitting the ground.

The speed of the advance team of the heavens was so fast that the royal guards had no time to react. But at this moment, the first batch of Spartan warriors had kicked open the airdrop capsule and quickly got out.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of Spartan warriors fell from the hatch and rushed towards the location of Emperor Saddam.

AI drones update and plan the best marching routes for them at any time, allowing the Spartan warriors with “full map access” to easily travel through every passage in the palace.

It was not until three minutes had passed that the observation posts on Kaitan suddenly sounded a shrill alarm.

“Report! We have detected a large number of UFOs. These objects, similar to meteor showers, are falling towards the Imperial Palace area!”

After hearing the news from the front-line sentry unit, the officers gathered together in the headquarters of the Imperial Guards of Colino and magnified the observed images.

As more and more image information was sent back, they realized with great astonishment that Kaitan was attacked by a group of elite troops!

“Oh no! This is an enemy attack. Guards from the Atreides family have actually come here.”

The chief of the imperial guards immediately realized that something was wrong. He slammed the table and gave orders to everyone:

“Immediately mobilize all the imperial guards to go to the emperor’s palace to surround these assassins. Send more people to rescue the emperor. Don’t let them get close to the depths of the palace!”

Ever since the Corino royal family suffered a defeat on Arrakis, the alert level on Kaitan has been raised a lot.

Both the anti-aircraft guns deployed around the palace and the imperial guards were on high alert.

As soon as the Spartan warriors were discovered at the observation post, they contacted the close-in artillery unit and launched an artillery interception on these warriors.

The chief of the imperial guards immediately ordered the imperial guards from all departments to enter the depths of the imperial palace, determined to use their numerical advantage to stop these aggressive assassins.

Through the image data sent back by the sentry, he could see that the number of people coming to carry out the assassination mission was around five hundred at most, or even less.

This number of people is undoubtedly a mantis trying to stop a chariot for the imperial guards who have hundreds of thousands of people.

“Yes!”

Immediately, the Royal Guards began to attempt a series of counterattacks, from the emergency mobilization of troops to rescue the emperor to the close-in artillery unit’s counterattacks, all of which were carried out in an orderly manner.

However, facing the enemy’s counterattack strategy, David, who was in charge of the dreadnought, was well prepared. He immediately ordered the use of the interception system to stop all enemy artillery fire.

The next second, accompanied by a series of loud rumbling noises, the artillery fire launched from the close-in defense artillery position was destroyed by the dreadnought’s close-in defense guns in mid-air before its shells had even reached halfway.

All the intercepting missiles exploded into brilliant fireworks in mid-air, illuminating the area near the imperial palace.

But that’s not all, with the precise positioning of AI drones and reconnaissance aircraft, the Sojourner Dreadnought easily captured the close-in defense artillery positions of the Royal Guards and the location of the Guards’ headquarters.

Afterwards, David immediately gave an order to use the hard light cannon to destroy the Imperial Guards headquarters and positions underground with one click.

Kaitan’s counterattack system had just responded when it was razed to the ground by the giant company’s dreadnought. The sentry units were also wiped out one by one by the reconnaissance aircraft with their own weapon systems.

The destruction of the imperial guards and defense system outside completely triggered unrest in the palace area. The chaotic scene of people rushing around also led to looting and murder in various parts of the palace.

At this moment, a guard risked his life to break into Emperor Saddam’s bedroom, prostrated himself beside the emperor’s bed, and reported loudly to him:

“Emperor, there is an enemy attack, please leave here as soon as possible!”

Hearing this, Saddam suddenly woke up from his comfortable state. He pulled out the radish and the water, and struggled to get off the body of the Virgin Helen.

Ever since witnessing the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Arrakis, Saddam would become a little nervous whenever he heard the word “enemy attack”. He subconsciously thought that it was the Atreides family that was attacking.

“How can this be!”

Emperor Shaddam hurriedly put on his clothes and roared angrily, “What are our imperial guards doing? Didn’t they notice someone coming?”

The Colino royal family had a total of two armies. The first was the Sadoka Legion, which launched external expansion and attacks, and the other was the Royal Guard, which was composed of people from within the Colino royal family.

As a family that has ruled the Galactic Empire for tens of thousands of years, the descendants of Corino have already spread across dozens of planets. The royal family carefully selected personnel from them and formed a royal guard.

These imperial guards, composed entirely of royal blood, are also the most loyal troops to the Colino family. After all, they are part of the royal family.

To protect the royal family is to protect one’s own interests.

“How could that old man Leto attack us so quickly? I clearly set up several galaxy defense lines. How on earth did they get around?”

Emperor Saddam’s voice was filled with disbelief and fear. He simply couldn’t believe that Atreides’ troops would fight their way all the way here.

Could it be that all the frontline troops had rebelled? Even so, the Kaitan Guards, both in terms of weapons and equipment and numbers, were enough to hold off the Atreides for a while.

Coupled with Kaitan’s close-in defense artillery positions, it is impossible for Atreides’ guards to break in so quickly no matter what. They must at least give themselves some time to react!

“There is no time to explain anymore, you must leave here as soon as possible!” the guard said anxiously, and he looked outside from time to time.

Because when he was heading to the bedroom, there was already chaos outside, with eunuchs stealing treasures, guards taking the opportunity to cause trouble to the concubines, and dukes running around exhausted…

Chaos is spreading everywhere, and who knows if someone will think of taking the emperor’s head and pledge allegiance to the Atreides family!

Seeing this, Virgin Helen hurriedly put on her clothes and looked outside the bedroom with a nervous expression, ready to ask the sisterhood members to escort her away from this place of trouble.

boom–! !

Another loud noise was heard, and it was hard to tell whether it was caused by artillery fire or the shock of a heavy object falling to the ground, but the bedroom where Saddam was staying had begun to show signs of slight shaking.

This made him completely panic.

Saddam knew very well that if he was caught by the Atreides, he would suffer a lot. He knew all the punishments of the major families by heart.

What’s more, the Atreides family and Corino have a feud. If Saddam is caught by that old man Leto, he believes that he will be tortured into “dried human meat”!

“Take me away from here!”

Emperor Saddam rolled and crawled towards the guard, completely ignoring the Virgin Helen behind him. Helen quickly put on her clothes and prepared to escape with the emperor.

But before the guard could take Saddam away, there was a loud bang, and the guard’s head exploded like a watermelon. The white brain mixed with blood splattered all over Saddam’s face.

The positioning of the AI ​​drone was quite accurate, and the combat team led by the Master Chief was perfectly deployed outside the palace, just blocking Emperor Saddam’s escape route.

As soon as he saw the target person Helen, Sergeant John immediately rushed over, grabbed her, and prepared to take her away by force.

Seeing this, Helen hurriedly used her voice control. She looked at the other party, scolded him, and ordered the sergeant: “Let me go, kneel down!”

However, these Spartan warriors had already been equipped with miniature Geller Field Generators that could shield against sonic control.

Fully armed, they were able to completely ignore Helen’s voice and speech control.

Seeing that Helen still dared to resist, the sergeant punched her in the abdomen without saying a word. This punch immediately made Helen lose all strength all over her body, and even her legs became weak.

Helen could clearly feel that her spleen was most likely damaged, and there might even be symptoms of internal bleeding!
The Spartan warriors ignored Helen’s injuries and did not answer any of her questions. They just carried her out in silence.

Emperor Saddam, who witnessed the whole process, could only look at the Spartan warriors in front of him with trembling eyes. He was afraid that these guards of unknown origin would treat him the same way.

At this time, Rita glanced at Saddam who was slumped on the ground. In the decapitation mission they were carrying out this time, the emperor was not within the scope of execution, so Saddam would be arrested temporarily.

As for St. Helen of Mary and other senior members of the sisterhood, it’s hard to say!

At present, the headquarters of the global giant company is quickly compiling a list of sorority members and is in the process of deciding who will be purged and who will remain.

The results are expected in half an hour.

Seeing the Virgin Helen being carried away, Emperor Saddam, who was sitting on the ground, was horrified at first, and then he felt confused when he realized that the other party was coming for Helen.

What did Helen do to make the Atreides family hate her so much? Shouldn’t the emperor himself be the culprit?

How come it was the Holy Mother of the Sisterhood who was targeted by Leto?

At this moment, two Spartan warriors had carried Helen from the bedroom to the outer corridor. During this period, Helen’s consciousness was in a semi-comatose state.

But she could clearly feel that her life was slowly slipping away. Through the brief predictive ability brought by the spices, Helen also felt that her death was approaching!

“I am the Holy Mother of the Sisterhood. How dare you do this to me…”

Helen questioned the sergeant weakly, but she still tried to use her status as the Virgin Mary to make him respect her identity.

But the sergeant acted as if he didn’t hear it and continued to take Helen on the journey, which made Helen feel helpless and ashamed.

Logically speaking, no matter how powerful the Sisterhood is, it should have some value in uniting the people and be worthy of the new emperor’s efforts to win it over, but the Atreides family chose not to do so.

They even sent troops to raid Kaitan and humiliated me like this. Are they really not afraid of the sisterhood’s revenge?

Just as Helen was planning how to order the sisterhood to take revenge on the Atreides in the future, the Master Chief had already brought her to an iconic building of the royal family.

At this moment, Helen had never felt so clearly that she was doomed to die, because she could see that the other party was planning to execute her!
“No, you can’t do this to me. I am the Holy Mother of the Sisterhood. If you kill me, it will cause a rebellion in the Sisterhood, and Leto’s throne will definitely not be secure!”

Helen took a deep breath and tried to break free, but the sergeant was still merciless and kicked her to the ground.

The biting cold wind blew in Helen’s face, making death seem so clear and terrifying to her as she was only wrapped in a single piece of clothing.

She couldn’t help but shudder.

“How dare you treat me like this? Do you know who I am?”

Virgin Helen screamed in despair and anger. She glared at the sergeant and growled through gnashing teeth:
“Duke Leto sent you here, right? I want to see him now. I want to see Jessica.”

Helen didn’t believe that the Atreides family dared to treat her like this. Although the sisterhood stood on the side of the royal family, there was still room for negotiation.

However, in response to Helen’s questioning, Chief Sergeant John simply responded coldly:
“Helen, you should have seen me. We have already told you on Caladan that the Universal Corporation will unify the Galactic Empire.”

“And the Atreides family is just our ally, not even an ally in the traditional sense. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe them as vassals.”

“You and your sisterhood missed the best opportunity to join the winners. Now the fate that awaits you will be the trial and execution by the giant company!”

“As for the Sisterhood, your life’s work, it will also be dismantled and reorganized under the control of the giant corporation and become a part of it.”
