"There has been an issue with the trial, Gemini will provide appropriate compensation, which will be settled along with your reward this time.

Including the Abnormal Object promised to you earlier will be part of this resource batch.

Additionally, there’s another matter...

Haha, originally planned to announce this to the Starry Sky after the trial concludes.

Even though the effect is a bit less now, it’s better than not doing it at all.

On behalf of the Gemini Civilization, I formally confer upon Lord Fanmao the title of Honorary Vice Admiral of the Gemini Civilization, and receive equivalent treatment and structure beyond the military.

Later, we will also announce to the Starry Sky, despite the effect likely not matching the planned post-trial ceremonial awarding.

Wonder if Lord Fanmao is willing."

"Honorary Vice Admiral?!"

Bai Yi’s eyes lit up, she had anticipated that the Gemini Emperor might reward her with something related to prestige, but never expected this!

You must know, she has worked hard in the Starry Sky just so that her apparent status could wield more influence and gain greater sway.

Originally she just hoped to become a pillar among the mid-high Tier Extraordinary in the Starry Sky, achieving high enough influence was enough, had not considered directly engaging with the Three Great Civilizations’ military.

Since the Gemini Civilization unexpectedly gave her this delightful surprise, she had no reason to refuse.

"Of course, I’m willing!

Haha, dealing with that Faith God this time has already allowed me to showcase my strength across the Starry Sky, far exceeding the original announcement.

His Majesty the Emperor is indeed too courteous."

Bai Yi responded politely, not hiding the hint of surprise in her tone. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Even though this is merely a purely honorary title, unable to directly reap benefits from the Gemini Civilization’s army, nor directly mobilize any resources from the Gemini Civilization.

It’s said to not provide any direct benefits to her.

However, this does not diminish the advantages of this honorary title!

After all, even though can mobilize armies and resources, Bai Yi couldn’t truly reap too much without cost.

Impossible to openly transfer resources to the territory, genuine value is still questionable to her.

Moreover, indirect power, the Emperor has indeed given quite a bit!

At least with this title, she can access the Gemini Civilization’s military channels when needed, and even openly contact Gemini Civilization’s confidential information and intelligence during wartime.

Coupled with having the organizational structure of a Gemini Civilization Vice Admiral, she effectively has legitimate command authority, able to form an officially recognized army of the Gemini Civilization!

Bai Yi could also somewhat understand the Emperor’s intention, probably wanted to give her a title without real power, hence only provided the authority that comes with the title, without any substantial support.

Neither requiring to give anything substantive, also binding her more deeply to the Gemini Civilization.

For the Gemini Civilization, it’s practically a profitable deal with no cost.

However, Bai Yi had already chosen the Gemini Civilization among the Three Great Civilizations, prepared to leverage the Gemini Civilization to further increase her influence, even started building good relations.

This binding has little impact on her.

Perhaps the Emperor didn’t expect, the purely titular position given perfectly fitted her needs!

Of course, Bai Yi also knows the principle of not flaunting after gaining unexpected benefits.

Since she has obtained such an unexpected advantage, she must quietly reap the benefits.

After displaying the joy expected upon receiving the title, she quickly calmed her mood.

Continued exchanging pleasantries with the Emperor, after receiving the coordinates for resource collection this time from the Emperor, the Emperor ended communication due to contacts with the other two civilizations.

The projection disappeared before Bai Yi, her previously restrained smile reappeared on her face.

"Didn’t expect to have this surprise in the end...

Now just waiting for the title to be in hand, I effectively have the organizational structure to officially own an army, able to form my own private military.

My fleets could be regularized, even openly equipped with weapons.

Haha, was worried about the ships under the witch in the territory lacking appropriate reasons to bring out, this time the Gemini Emperor truly gifted a pillow when I was drowsy, hitting the spot!

When the time comes, having the witch as the fleet under my command, could better maneuver during the Insect Swarm’s attack."

Briefly filtering through the fleets in the current territory in her mind, after selecting the names to bring out, Bai Yi communicated with the superpower, using "Life Authority" to enter the view of faith, proficiently contacting Shang Ji.

"Shang Ji, immediately draft a structure for the witch fleet, and prepare the fleet’s external affairs.

I just obtained a Vice Admiral title from the Gemini Emperor, qualifying to form a fleet.

I want to leverage this to establish a fleet visibly belonging to me."

Facing Shang Ji, Bai Yi didn’t explain much, just described the basic information briefly, Shang Ji understood Bai Yi’s intent.

Having received Shang Ji’s assured reply, Bai Yi pondered for a moment before adding:

"Additionally, quickly arrange for those resources to be brought back to the territory, promptly trade for more supplies taking advantage of the current relations with the Saien Civilization!

Hmm, Saien should contact me proactively soon, prepare online in advance."

"Understood, I’ll prepare soon."

Bai Yi suddenly thought earlier, although now she had the chance to bring out the fleets from the territory, currently instead her own fleet numbers seemed somewhat insufficient.
