Chapter 583: Chapter 60: You Shall Serve_2
In the mind of White Dragon Gomot flashed images of the enormous interstellar spaceships parked at the Harkonnen Clan Legion bases: oval-shaped, spherical, ring-shaped, or even irregular ships like pyramids and boulders.
These interstellar spaceships, made entirely of various hard alloys and ranging from tens to hundreds of meters in length, perhaps once only represented the powerful military and creative potential of this civilization in the eyes of the Giant Dragons.
But now, in the eyes of the Giant Dragons, they could already touch upon the deeper significance behind these things.
These humans, possessing advanced technology, used to rely on ’superluminal engines’ for interstellar travel for countless years, achieving a maximum speed of nearly 1,500 times the speed of light according to the dragons’ knowledge.
Such speed is something these dragons cannot compare to. It is only before the Legends who have mastered the Laws that such incredible actions occur, because these humans also grasp the fundamental physical Laws of the cosmos.
However, the Leo Empire has now invented the Hodzman Engine, possessing space jump capabilities akin to folding space, allowing nearly instantaneous travel to another planet as long as there is a safe route.
This also means that should a direct conflict break out with the Golden Empire, the Leo Empire’s infinite interstellar fleet could quickly arrive.
The soldiers in front of the Harkonnen Clan Legion are few, and there are few high-tech creations, simply because the Harkonnen Clan lacks sufficient intelligence.
They assume that the native Fremen of this planet are few, and many high-tech creations are unsuitable for use on the Dune Planet to avoid damaging the unique and irreplaceable ecological environment that produces spices.
In the event of direct warfare, the High Tier Mages of the Golden Empire, around level fourteen, meticulously crafted High Tier Scrolls, are enough to withstand the power of low-yield atomic weapons like nuclear bombs. When facing more advanced weapons, they still cannot guarantee avoiding significant losses.
Moreover, there are many legion warriors and low to middle tier Mages; not only the Ancestral Red Dragon, but other Giant Dragons would also not want their strength to suffer major damage here.
Therefore, both Blue Dragon Doss and White Dragon Gomot can understand Karon’s cautious actions. Although they do not have the ability of the Ancestral Red Dragon to calculate the future using information from the endless past and present, the advanced brain of the dragons makes them wiser.
White Dragon Gomot lazily swayed its tail like a big cat, sweeping back and forth on the ground.
"Karon intends, with that Paul Atreides, the bloodline heir of a Grand Duke of human nobility within the Human Empire, to implement a top-down governance change and mild restructuring from within the Human Empire,"
"These human civilizations, can unite against an external civilization, yet have no excuse to oppose an Emperor of the Human Empire, especially when that Emperor has the support of another civilization and possesses the power of a Dragon."
"By then, not only these valuable spice resources, but the cosmic humanity, almost innumerable times greater than the Icaria World, will also become our stepping stone and supporters."
In Blue Dragon Doss’s slit eyes, wisdom gleamed as it grinned, baring its fangs: "It seems Karon wants to subdue this Grand Duke, just as he subdued the Jackal Wolfman Leader Yougu to control the Jackal Wolfman Tribe, as the king ruling over human civilization,"
"However, Karon’s brilliance is too dazzling; once he appears, those Fremen will never again obey the orders of this Grand Duke. How should he maintain the majestic presence of a dragon, be exalted by the Fremen, yet still have those Fremen genuinely submit to the Grand Duke as their king."
"This is indeed a problem,"
White Dragon Gomot, like a human, fell into contemplation, "Without absolute force, intelligence is as important as strength. I should think about how Karon would accomplish this task."
White Dragon Camid didn’t think this matter was worth discussing; he just found the two Giant Dragons too noisy, so he shook both his heads and shouted: "I just need to ensure I have enough strength; Karon as my brain, hey, is countless times stronger than you two!"
Blue Dragon Doss and White Dragon Gomot exchanged a glance, somewhat speechless.
"Forget it, Karon has his things to do, and we have ours. We need to quickly find a suitable location to establish a space-time beacon for smooth traveling to the Imperial Territory."
...
The massive body of Ancestral Red Dragon treads on the sand, like geese flying without a trace. Only his maid follows by his side.
Traveling south from the northern part of the Dune Planet and surveying many sites, Karon finally paused at this place.
Before him lay an endless desert plain. Although called a plain, it’s merely a region where the undulations of the continuous dunes are lesser.
This is where those Fremen must pass when traveling from north to south, as well as the most likely route for the millions of southern Fremen wanting to reach the northern battlefield.
Because beneath this vast desert plain is a rich aquifer, sand worms do not linger in places with aquifers.
Despite their wonder, after numerous experiments by Casters of the Golden Empire, it was discovered that the vast amounts of water are actually lethal poison to these miraculous creatures.
