Hard Work Will Never Betray Me

After that, I put the deadman in my inventory (I didn’t want to put him in there, but it would be valuable thing later one ), and returned to General Eulenberg and Iris , storing everything in the room as I went.

…… Well, the other side is a demon. The last time I was dealing with a demon, it didn’t have any transfer magic, but instead had great resilience. The actuality that the actual fight is not really a great recovery power, but it seems that even the demons have their own strengths and weaknesses.

Now that we had missed the demons, the most immediate matter was the governance of the town of Cassandra, which no longer had a ruler. I was wondering what to do with the old privileged elite of the vigilantes, but the people outside the walls, who were treated like serfs and used to be abused, ran for the office.

.”So this time, if possible, we want to protect this town with our own hands.”

“Do you want autonomy?”

‘That’s it “.

Autonomy of residence . Sounds like a medieval Japanese village.

“General Eulenberg. What do you thik ?

As far as I’m concerned, I think we can trust them to work hard, even if they’ve been pressed . Besides, it is practically impossible to govern the city without relying on them. While putting the bad guys in jail, they will rule the
city until the army arrives. Even though we are members of the Special division , it was impossible for just three of us to do it.

“The situation is like that . We will have to ask for your cooperation.”

“Because, you know.”

“I’m sorry. I owe you.’

“But I can’t guarantee that after the Imperial Army arrives a new deputy is will be not selected.”

” We will negotiate with them, so there is no problem. The central government can’t say anything too strong.

“Since education is essential for rule over the city , I don’t know how well it will actually work. However, I think that if it’s just the autonomy of city , they might be allowed for it ……. The regime is surprisingly willing to make concessions to the extent that sovereignty is not threatened. But there are some
rulers that will never step back. …… I asked for their help in governing the town, thinking of a certain country or federation of principalities on earth.”

A week or so later, two troops of the Imperial Army (about 250 people) dispatched from the Imperial Capital finally arrived in the city of Cassandra after receiving a call from the communication magic tool I have. The company commander, , who was leading the two companies, saluted General Eulenberg with a awe.

‘I apologize for being so late!”

“It’s fine The documents are here. Please get to work as soon as possible.”

Yes, sir!

General Eulenberg hands the documents ts containing of -how to rule territory, materials, and various other things that he has learned from interrogating the vigilante group over the past week. With this, we are finally liberated.

What was particularly out of the ordinary in this case, , was the high taxes. I had assumed that the tax rate would be at most 60% or so, but when I opened the document , I found that it was an ultra-black territory with a tax rate was over the roof .

I wondered how this was able to prevent a revolt, but then I remembered that I had heard somewhere that in order for a revolt to began , there must be a certain amount of strength left on the side of the ruled. If there is no strong ideology to support ruler , if the power of t people is overwhelmingly strong, or if the power of the ruled is weakening, it is difficult for a revolt to take place. Incidentally, if there is a strong ideology, there will be no revolt, as in the past with the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, China, and North Korea (because all the people are ideological followers and cooperate with the ruler , and they will be erased before they can revolt in the first place

Well, there can be no strong ideology in a small town like Cassandra. The point is that the bad governor was exploiting the people of his domain. It was a bad management of the domain, and the tax rate was particularly high.

The new government who had been dispatched with two companies to the territory , who had been liberated from this evil government , presented
following policy: “No taxation for one year, and no taxation after the second year. From the second year onward, they were to be tax exempt. From the fifth year, the tax will return to the normal rate of four kong and six kong. The amount that was not enough for the sound management of the fiefdom was to be raised by cutting into the pockets of the previous governor, and the amount that was still insufficient was to be made up from the national treasury. The country did not seem to want such a blunder to be made too public, and seemed to be struggling to recover.

Now that we were finished with that , our next task was to investigate the cause of this incident, which was our original task. This was the task of finding out who did it, for what purpose, it was done, who was behind it, and so on. We had been investigating with the help of the local people before the Imperial Army came , but now we were finally able to start a full-scale investigation.

Incidentally, about a dozen people from the two companies that had been send to the area would be participating in this investigation, which was very helpful.

A few days after we started the investigation in earnest. Ensign Tailman, who was conducting the investigation one the same team as me Ensign who had guided me through the Magic Division’s entrance examination – entered office with a tense expression on his face. He usually gives a calm impression, so I guessed it was something important.

. Second Lieutenant Tailman, what’s going on?”

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

‘Second Lieutenant Hurt. has arrived “.

What he handed me was a document that contained information on the identity of the official who had been killed by the demon.

“Allen Bazarov. Age and place of birth unknown. He is the head of the civil service here at ……. The deputy is a decorator and the real ruler, huh?”

Apparently, the substitute was an incompetent top official. Apparently, he lived a reasonably rich life, but he was hardly involved in practical affairs.

When we launched the operation, he was so flustered that he didn’t move an inch. If he can’t give orders at a moment’s notice, he must be disqualified as a person who stands at the top. It was only natural that he should be treated as incompetent.

‘ ……. This Allen Bazarov is a civil servant who is a close associate of the deputy, and yet his place of birth is unknown?”

In Japan, he would be a city office employee at the director’s level, working just below the mayor. How is it possible that his place of birth is unknown?

“I have inquired about it with former Cassandra staff members, colleagues, and the administrative officials of the Imperial City, and they all say they don’t know where he is from.”

“How is that possible?”

I heard that the official recruitment was in the eastern part of the country, ……. He was hired as a temporary low-ranking government official, and since he was very good, he was officially hired as such. His career before that is unknown. He may have lived a nomadic life in the east, or he may have been born an orphan. Only he himself knows the exact truth.”

In short, he seems to have appeared out of nowhere. It was impossible to identify his place of birth.

“But then again, he is from the East. ……”

‘There are a lot of illegal immigrants from the East these days. ”

Ah.

A problem unique to a country on the continent with borders with other countries: illegal immigration. That is illegal immigration. Legal immigrants, of which there are a fair number, are mostly well-managed and have legitimate jobs. Illegal immigrants, however, are often adventurers or daily laborers whose lives are unstable, and in the worst cases, they often become mobsters or bandits who threaten the security of the empire. The reason why they immigrate illegally is because they are people who would not be able to enter the country by legal means. Most of them are criminals or have political ambitions, and as far as they are concerned, that is not a good enough reason.

In this case, the man is Allen Bazarov. He may or may not be an illegal immigrant or a child of an illegal immigrant.

“I1s Second Lieutenant Hurt also stuck?”

“Yes, I don’t know if he didn’t change his name or if he simply didn’t recognize it. …… i don’t hear that name around here.”

The surname Bazarov is almost non-existent in the Empire of Hylant. There are some, but only a small number of people in the eastern part of the country, such as naturalized descendants of a former alien people, take the name. Rather, most of them are from the homeland of the different ethnic groups – the Principality Commonwealth. Allen Bazarov can definitely be considered a person associated with the Federation.

”Could he have been a spy?

‘”Maybe. Or an agent.”

Otherwise, he would not have managed his territory in such an absurd way. In addition, there were demons. It is reasonable to assume that the Principality Federation was in close contact with the demons and that the town of Cassandra was a base for their agents.

The reason for the closed structure was to restrict the flow of people so that it would be difficult for them to sense anything unusual, and it makes sense to think that the reason for building more walls was to allow the demons to escape by using their transfer magic or to destroy evidence while the town was under siege

‘I heard that it was quite naturally, but if you pay close attention, there was a slight Eastern influence in his accent”.

.”….. so there’s a good chance she was born and raised in the Commonwealth, rather than being a immigrant.”

“Commonwealth, be carefu”l

“Yeah.”

What was supposed to be a simple task of investigating and conquering a local bad government turned into an epic war of war between countries. I wish it had been a little more peaceful,……, even though I joined the special division on my own volition,……………..
