"Hey, I can't refuse."

The old emperor said warmly:

"The merits you have made for the empire will not be exaggerated even if you are given the title of king. However, there is no precedent for this in the empire, and the voices within the Council of Elders are also very fierce.

“The empire’s national policy is to reduce and control the number of nobles to prevent them from oppressing ordinary people.

"So, as the emperor, the highest title that can be given to you is the Grand Duke of the Empire. You can be above ordinary dukes, and have control over the imperial nobles regardless of hereditary status or reputation.

"It doesn't matter when you go to the high-dimensional world. Your wishes and concerns will become the empire's wishes and concerns from now on.

"In addition, Hanton, the empire's development of the divine religion will also grant you the honor of 'Bishop of Radiance'..."

The old emperor talked endlessly, and Yang Ming listened with "moved eyes".

Of course Boss Yang knew that the old emperor's words needed to be analyzed from another angle.

The so-called being above ordinary dukes refers to princes, princes, and princesses with a lower surname than Sherman;

There is no distinction between hereditary status and reputation. In fact, it cannot be hereditary. It is only a special title given to Yang Ming personally;

Having the power to control the imperial nobles is more like a joke. Yang Ming can now take over any major imperial nobles except the Sherman family, both overtly and covertly.

However, when Yang Ming thought about it, he had already gained enough.

The youngest lieutenant general in the history of the empire, it is not an honorary title, but a lieutenant general with real power to command troops. His status is the same as Thomas before his promotion.

The only grand duke in the empire at this stage, all non-royal nobles in the empire would take the initiative to salute him when they saw him.

And, this ‘Bishop of Glow’.

The empire developed the religion and was the home of Li.

This reward was the least impressive in the list given by the emperor, but it concerned Yang Ming the most.

Yang Ming declined a few words appropriately, and then borrowed the donkey from the slope to express his gratitude and satisfaction to His Majesty the Emperor for the reward.

This drama played to the people and nobles has finally come to an end.

A reminder came from the old emperor: "Your Majesty, the live broadcast has been suspended."

The old guy's face fell instantly and he frowned at Yang Ming: "Hanton, are you really hurt?"

"Ahem, cough, cough," Yang Ming smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, all the people who fought with me were killed in the battle."

"Oh fine."

His Majesty the Emperor showed regret and patted Yang Ming's arm with a projection: "Well done, my knight commander."

Yang Ming continued to remain weak: "Your Majesty, are there many people who are maliciously slandering me in your ears?"

"They are jealous of you and afraid of you," the emperor smiled. "You have absolutely overwhelming personal combat power and unrivaled prestige. This prestige connects the people of the empire, the army, and even the small nobles.

, it seems more appropriate for you to be the emperor."

"His Majesty!"

Yang Ming struggled to sit up: "You!"

"Hey, I'm just kidding you, don't be nervous."

The emperor sighed, as if he was deep in thought, and suddenly asked: "Hanton, how much do you know about the empire's national defense system?"

"I just know a little bit, not a lot."

"Then how much do you know about my ancestor, Levi Sherman?"

Teacher Yang Ming explained: "Limited to the imperial history books and the "Emperor's Biography", Your Majesty."

"Oh fine."

The old emperor pondered for a few times, as if he was thinking about a certain problem.

Yang Ming asked: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"I'm thinking about how to restrain the Imperial Guard system," the old emperor said calmly, "According to the secret information I got, this system is already showing signs of being out of control. We can't let her continue to run wild. Once the Imperial Guard system gets out of control, it will

It will be an extremely vicious event that is far more harmful than this insect wave. The second disaster has just passed, so you don’t want the third natural disaster to come directly, right?"

Yang Ming said in surprise: "Are you saying that the Imperial Guard system may become the third natural disaster?"

"Yes, Hanton, that could very well happen."

The old emperor nodded calmly and said:

"However, this matter is very complicated and cannot be explained in a few words, but fortunately, we already have an alternative, the Imperial Guard System 2.0, and you, an ancient god warrior whose conventional combat power cannot be matched.

"Hanton, what do you think will happen if I ask Imperial Guard 2 to replace Imperial Guard 1?"

Yang Ming:……

feel?

Can this be concluded simply by intuition?

Yang Ming really thought just now that the empire had seen through Li's plan and noticed that Li was quietly breaking away from his restraints. This information was provided by the three old men of Omnic Twilight.

However, Yang Ming has figured it out now.

The old emperor has been humiliated one after another by Li, and he can no longer bear it.

For a long time, the adjectives of the maids and ministers around him, as well as the adjectives "great", "wise" and "big idiot", made the old emperor accustomed to the sense of superiority at the top of the galaxy.

This Emperor Star attack not only greatly damaged the old emperor's self-esteem, but also directly denied his control over the empire.

If Li was completely and continuously enslaved by Levi Sherman, what measures would be taken to deal with this situation?

There might be a fake cockpit in the Emperor Star Mecha, allowing the current emperor to stay inside and get a sense of participation in some historical events.

Li did not do this.

This made Yang Ming seriously suspect that he was deliberately provoking and ridiculing the old man.

"Your Majesty," Yang Ming said, "this plan is a bit risky, but it is not impossible to try."

"Right?"

The old emperor smiled and said: "If you can support me, that would be great, Hanton. The only power I can trust and rely on now is you. Your power is far greater than that of a battle group."

Yang Ming immediately expressed his position: "If it is for your sake, I am willing to use all my strength, like sniping the queen, to complete the task you assigned."

"Very good," the old emperor said. "Take good care of your injuries first. Those rewards and promotions will be finalized soon. I will send two finance ministers over later. If your territory wants anything, just ask them."

The thoughts in Yang Ming's heart changed rapidly.

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report."

"Just say it."

"The Faya people also gave me a mission, asking me to find a human," Yang Ming said. "After I recover from my injury, I have to go on a long journey. You see..."

"The Faya people told me?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"You can do this first and set off as soon as possible. If you need ships, let the military department mobilize them," the old emperor said with a smile. "I am also very curious about the Faya civilization. Of course, let me try to carry out ninety-nine percent of it."

I still don’t have the courage to experiment with the transformation of mortality.”

Yang Ming nodded with a smile.

The old emperor stood up and waved his hand, and the projection was turned off at the other end.

Yang Ming and Daphne looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Daphne asked, "How do you feel?"

"Tired," Yang Ming winked and couldn't help but yawn, "your father is very dissatisfied with the Imperial Guard system, and we need to be vigilant about this."

"Why?"

"He can't beat the Imperial Guard."

"Uh," Daphne said a little confused.

Yang Ming lay there and sorted out his thoughts.

Military ranks, titles, and the title of Bishop of Glow are all available in this wave, and Saka Star can also get a large amount of resources;

More importantly, there is no risk of his basic reputation being damaged among the public.

Well, that's enough. This is the 'maximum' benefit that can be obtained currently.

Next…

Half a month later, the Sherman Empire sent a formal diplomatic letter to the fifth most powerful country in the galaxy, the Arta Democracy. The Grand Duke of the Empire, White Ghost Hanton, would officially visit the country.

A formation composed of hundreds of ships left the outer space port of Saka in a mighty manner and completed a synchronous jump in the gravitational balance zone.

It’s time for Forerunner No. 5 to reveal his true colors in Lushan.
