The cleanup work on Planet Dorito is also proceeding in an orderly manner.
After Toothy left, the Orks descended into an even more frenzied civil war.
Their underlying code made them forget that their territory was being invaded by humans; all they cared about was blowing the heads off other leaders and becoming the new boss themselves.
Therefore, although the scale has decreased significantly, the intensity has actually increased to an unprecedented level.
This greatly facilitated the Imperial Army's suppression efforts.
The Tithe Fleet's land forces, in coordination with the Brevis Expeditionary Force, were divided into dozens of combat groups and launched a sweeping operation to eliminate various Orks settlements on Dorito.
The Orks leaders, still embroiled in civil war, were utterly incapable of organizing any effective resistance.
Faced with the Imperium's heavy firepower, they fell in droves like harvested wheat.
In just ten days, all the remaining Orks leaders on Planet Dorito were wiped out.
But this is only the first step.
The most terrifying thing about the Orks is never their fighting buddies, but their ubiquitous spores.
As long as a single spore is preserved, it won't be long before an entire tribe of Orks regrows.
In order to completely eliminate the threat of the Orks, Dominic issued a cruel but effective order—the scorched earth policy.
"Order all warships to conduct a carpet bombing of the surface of Planet Dorito!"
"Don't be stingy with the incendiary bombs, I want to make the whole of Dorito boil over!"
At Dominic's command, dozens of Imperium warships opened fire simultaneously.
Tens of thousands of incendiary bombs, trailing long plumes of flame, poured down from space.
These incendiary bombs are filled with high-purity Promethium, have a combustion temperature of thousands of degrees, and are very difficult to extinguish once they start burning.
The entire planet Dorito instantly transformed into a giant fireball.
The raging fire raged across the land, burning for seven days and seven nights.
All the mushroom fields, the Squig ranch, and the Orks buildings were reduced to ashes in the fire.
Even the spores hidden several meters underground were completely scorched by the high temperature and lost their activity.
After the fire was extinguished, the entire planet Dorito was completely unrecognizable.
The once lush green land has been turned into a scorched ruin.
The air was filled with a pungent, acrid smell and thick smoke, and visibility was less than ten meters.
But that's not enough.
To ensure everything went perfectly, Dominic ordered the deployment of hundreds of thousands of robots and their Servitor to conduct a final cleanup of the surface.
These robots and their Servitor, carrying enormous Promethium flamethrowers, patrol the surface around the clock.
They leave no corner untouched; any patch of land that might still harbor spores will be burned again by their flames.
Their programs contain only one instruction: burn, burn, burn completely.
This thorough cleanup operation lasted for almost a month.
When the last Servitor returned to the landing craft, Dorito had been completely transformed into a charred, bald planet.
There is no green to be seen on the ground anymore, and no trace of Orks to be felt.
This Agri World, which had been ravaged by the Orks for more than two years, has finally ushered in a long-awaited period of peace.
On the observation deck of the Pinnacle Black Obsidian, Lynn looked down at the charred planet, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
"That's incredible," Lynn said softly.
"A month ago, this place was a paradise for Orks; now, you probably can't even find a single spore."
Dominic, standing beside him, wore a smug smile.
"What's so surprising?" Dominic said nonchalantly.
"This is the way to deal with the Orks; you have to nip them in the bud, otherwise they'll come back again before long."
Lynn nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.
He silently did some calculations in his mind.
Without Dominic's help, the initial incineration process alone would take at least two to three years, given Brevis's current situation and financial resources.
And it's not even certain that it can be cleaned so thoroughly.
Dominic not only helped him drive away the Orks, but also cleaned up the entire planet for free, and even took on the subsequent work of restoring the land.
This isn't Tithe collection effort; it's practically a poverty alleviation mission!
If it weren't for the fear of misunderstanding, Lynn would have called Dominic her godfather on the spot.
"Lord Dominic, thank you so much this time," Lynn said sincerely.
"Without your help, I really don't know what I would have done."
"Hey, it's nothing, it's a small matter." Dominic waved his hand dismissively.
"We are all doing this for the Imperium, for the Emperor."
"Besides, eliminating the Orks is the duty of our Imperial Navy."
In fact, Dominic didn't really care about it.
For him, the most important thing was that, under his command, he successfully eliminated a Orks warboss who had the potential to become a legendary warlord.
This is a truly remarkable achievement!
When he returns to his hometown, he'll have plenty to brag about at the dinner table with his peers and younger generations.
Dominic felt a sense of pride just thinking about it.
As for helping Lynn with Dorito's funeral arrangements, he considered it a simple matter.
Moreover, the Warp turbulence around Calixis hasn't improved, so he can't go anywhere.
Rather than getting bored and stagnant on the space station, it's better to find something to do.
Moreover, he was still hoping to use Dorido 'Dorito agricultural output to pay off the huge Tithe Brevis owed.
"Alright, the cleanup is complete," Dominic said.
"Next, it's time to resume industrial production and farming."
Lynn took over the task. "That's right, sir."
"I have ordered transport ships to continuously bring in fertilizers such as nitrates and phosphates from Brevis."
"Afterwards, we will install a huge planetary delivery device in orbit, which, together with agricultural machinery and Servitor on the ground, will evenly spread these fertilizers throughout the entire Dorito."
"Then, large agricultural machinery is used to till and level the ground."
"In this way, within six months at most, the soil in the Dorito will be restored to a plantable state."
"At that time, we can plant Hiss Corn on a large scale, raise Grox, and harvest the first batch of crops in at least six months."
Dominic nodded.
In other words, it will take at least another year to harvest the first batch of crops.
Although it took a bit long, this was the fastest possible speed.
Without my help, this time would probably have taken several times longer.
"It's all up to you, Governor Kerry," Dominic said casually.
