Got Some Ork Guts? Acting This Arrogant?
Commissar Bruck initially thought this was a simple tax collection task.
But the current situation took him somewhat by surprise.
First, in his Data Slate, Damiton II was classified as a Tier 2 tax world.
Such a world represents a world with developed trade, a prosperous economy, and advanced productivity.
However, the planet Damiton II is now under invasion by Ork, and its economy and productivity have plummeted.
Unable to meet current tax requirements,
Secondly, there was this Ecclesiarchy Sisters in front of him, whose origins were unknown.
The other party did not seem willing to fulfill the sacred duty of loyalty to the Emperor.
Of course, it would be utterly absurd to judge someone as a traitor based on this alone.
Let's not even talk about the fact that the Ecclesiarchy and he don't belong to the same system.
The equipment the other party possessed alone was enough to demonstrate that their background was extraordinary.
Ordinary Ecclesiarchy Sisters do not have such sophisticated equipment.
But his mission on this trip was to collect Imperial Tithe from this planet.
If it is not taken back, that would be a serious dereliction of duty.
"Are you really going to insist on this? Refusing to pay Imperial Tithe will be considered a betrayal of the Imperium."
Commissar Bruck looked at the Ecclesiarchy Sisters in front of him and reiterated once again.
The Little Alpaca's gaze was resolute. "Yes, until production resumes, this planet will not pay Imperial Tithe."
"Moreover, the Department of the Interior has seriously neglected its duties. They should have come themselves to review the current state of this planet and determine the correct and reasonable taxes."
These words left the Kasrkin squad, who had come to collect taxes, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Not only do they refuse to pay taxes, but they also want to question the Department of the Interior? Has this guy eaten Ork's gall?
"You should know that even if you belong to the Ecclesiarchy system and refuse to pay taxes, I can still kill you," Commissar Bruck said.
"Then you can give it a try." The Little Alpaca looked around at the Kasrkin team in front of it.
Although her combat strength is not in the top tier among players, she is not afraid of a group of local NPCs.
The enemy has a warship, and she also has a Battle Barge on track.
The other side can mobilize the Ministry of the Department of the Interior's army, and she can also call on players to come.
If things get really bad, we can just go to war. Who's afraid of who?
"Sergeant Pia, you go back first and report the situation here to your superiors. Tell them that I am still trying to communicate with them to get them to pay their taxes as soon as possible."
Commissar Bruck took a step back.
Let the accompanying Kasrkin squad go back first to avoid wasting time.
Staying here would give me an excuse and prevent the Department of the Interior from viewing Damiton II as a betrayal.
"This is disobedience," Sergeant Pia said, somewhat annoyed. "Paying Imperial Tithe is an obligation of every Imperial World."
"Go back and report to the Department of the Interior as I instructed. You don't need to worry about anything else."
Commissar Bruck reiterated once again,
Let the Kasrkin squad leave.
Seeing the Commissar issue another order, Sergeant Pia was filled with dissatisfaction, but he still turned around, boarded the transport ship, and set sail.
"Thank you for speaking up for Damiton II. If we run out of ammunition, I really don't know how we can defend this Hive World."
Nanlu, who was in charge of the defense of Damiton II's homeworld, came out and expressed his gratitude to the Little Alpaca.
"This matter is probably not over yet, but let's get through the current crisis first."
The Little Alpaca watched the departing tax collection team.
Knowing the nature of those Department of the Interior officials, she'd have to go see them.
Otherwise, if we come back one day and find that World Damiton II has been burned to ashes by the Punishment Fleet sent by the Department of the Interior for betraying the Imperium, that would be a real disaster.
Commissar Bruck was about to speak when, before he could open his mouth, a loud boom was heard in the distance. The towering wall was blasted open, and hordes of Orks rushed in.
"Brothers, for the Emperor!" the Little Alpaca shouted, raising his giant sword.
"Let's go, let's go, for the Emperor."
"Kill all those Orks Xenos, leave no one alive."
Follow the Little Alpaca to support Damiton II World.
They are all players who follow the Ecclesiarchy route.
You can't tell normally,
Once they enter battle mode, they become extremely Fanaticism.
They acted very loyally.
Commissar Bruck stared in disbelief.
These guys are all Fanaticism, it seems.
But why are they unwilling to pay Imperial Tithe?
The Fanaticism believers I've seen before—they'd be the first to object if anyone dared not pay taxes!
The attacking Orks were not strong and were quickly wiped out, leaving a trail of bloodshed.
"Let's press on and launch a counterattack."
The Little Alpaca had no intention of continuing the war of attrition with the Orks.
The decision was made to execute a decapitation strike.
They slaughtered all the high-ranking Orks on this planet.
At the same time,
The tax- Kasrkin quickly arrived at the AN06.01 inventory world, the fourth tax level.
Like many military worlds similar to Imperium,
They are vital hubs for supplying resources, providing war materials to countless battlefields.
After Pia submitted the report to the management officer, the officer frowned.
"Refusing to pay Imperial Tithe is an act of betrayal against the Imperium. Didn't you make that clear to them?"
"We did," Sergeant Pia nodded, "But a Sisters from the Ecclesiarchy refused to speak to us, claiming she wanted to investigate the Department of the Interior's dereliction of duty, because assessing taxes and protecting the people of the Imperium are the Department of the Interior's responsibilities, yet the Department of the Interior arbitrarily sets tax standards, ignoring the suffering people of the Imperium."
"They believe this is a serious dereliction of duty and someone must be held accountable."
Pia embellished the story and spoke his mind.
As an elite member of the Imperium, she would rather lead her squad to the battlefield to fight to the death than do this kind of work.
The situation on Damiton II world is not an isolated case.
Many parts of the world are mired in suffering.
Meanwhile, the Department of the Interior hides in its tiny office, formulating completely unreasonable taxes.
The Department of the Interior official frowned.
"Investigating the Department of the Interior? They've really gone Orks! So arrogant?! Damiton II has been designated a traitorous world. Notify the punitive fleet to carry out a purge against them."
"Since you are disloyal to the Emperor, then accept the punishment."
"Commissar Bruck is trying to persuade them that perhaps we should give them a chance," Sergeant Pia said.
"Refusing to pay Imperial Tithe is treason, and traitors should be punished with swift and severe measures."
The Department of the Interior official's voice was stern.
Sergeant Pia dared not speak again.
A technician walked up and spoke.
"My lord, the planetary platform's structural support can no longer bear any more weight. Even if we collect Imperial Tithe, it will have to be destroyed. Why not give them a chance?"
The Department of the Interior official turned his head and gave the technician a stern look.
"Whether the collected taxes are destroyed or something else, that is the Ministry of the Department of the Interior's business. Paying Imperial Tithe is the duty of the people of the Imperium to the Emperor."
"Refusing to pay Imperial Tithe is treason against the Emperor, an unforgivable sin."
The technician sighed, dared not offer any further advice, and withdrew.
"Immediately request the dispatch of Punishment Fleet."
The Department of the Interior official turned and walked back into the towering, majestic Interior Ministry building.
PS: This is the first chapter today. I'm a bit unsure what to write and haven't decided which battlefield to focus on, so I'll start with a short story about Imperial Tithe as a transition.
