With great difficulty, she finally convinced Ou Feng to let her become the dean of the Mage Academy. Not only Ou Feng, but also the mages were very happy. In fact, none of them want to be idle like this. Who doesn't have a brilliant ideal? Diao Si also arranged a good home for them.
After arranging the members of the Master Association to the Master Academy, Diao Si immediately summoned all senior management officials and people from major families to hold a meeting. At this meeting, he first announced the merger of the Master Association into the Master Academy. , especially indicating Oufeng's ducal status.
There is also the need to add a new encyclopedia college, including various subjects such as agricultural production and construction, and then effectively open the Royal Management College to everyone on the basis of being open to the royal family and the aristocracy.
After all the management officials and representatives of the major families heard the unhappy news, Diao Sicai mentioned to them the plan to quell the raiding tribes in the west, as well as the subsequent conquest of the Sabei Desert.
After the meeting, some management officials and people from major families raised questions about the new law. Diao Si also knew that this matter that affected their vital interests would not be easy to pass, but he did not want to accept this hot potato.
So Diao Si asked the dwarves to improve everything as much as possible and ensure that when he returned from quelling the Western Rebellion, the new law would be officially implemented.
Diao Si also knew that forcing things like this would definitely cause a lot of trouble, but he really didn't want to take the trouble to deal with it slowly. Because this would definitely involve conflicts, he didn't want to be the object of conflict between these vested interests, and would rather let them have conflicts with those dwarves.
After the meeting ended hastily, Diao Si began to recruit a team to quell the Western Rebellion. This time he also planned to bring some of the powerful leaders of the Mages Association with him, especially those who were dissatisfied with him, so as to reduce opposition. Only with the power of Mage Academy can the transition be smooth.
However, due to the mountain climbing, the number of people in this operation must be controlled, and all vehicles, including those powerful cannons, cannot be brought over, so this time the team must be carefully selected.
Just when Diao Sizheng was looking at the team invading the Empire of Light from the south and the East Empire from the east with worry, he suddenly found Hao Qi and Lei Ji joining the team behind them wearing battle armor.
Needless to say, it must be because of his relationship that the two women were given light sentences. Originally, Diao Sizhen should have criticized the management officials who were in charge of the law, but this would definitely make Hao Qi and Lei Ji hate him.
Moreover, those management officials have already sentenced him. If he says anything else, doesn’t it mean that he is above the law? Forget it, although Diao Si knew that doing so would bring corrupt consequences, he still chose to give up when facing these two beauties.
Without much consideration, Diao Si determined his team for this operation. There were about a few mixed crystal level warriors, including the two former personal guards of Oso, and twenty or thirty dark crystal warriors, including Hao Qi, Ai Chun and others, as well as dozens of golden light warriors, including Lei Ji and Mida of course.
One of Oso's two former personal guards was injured by Diao Si's magic, but she had already recovered. So he brought them along just to reconcile the relationship. If they still objected to Diao Si, he would find a way to arrange them to the border.
In addition, there are twenty or thirty mages, all of whom are above the sect level. These people are all members of the Mages Association, and they have all opposed Diao Si, and some of them are Zhan Xi's subordinates.
Those who opposed Diao Si suspected that Diao Si arranged them in this way to deal with them on purpose, but they couldn't understand why Diao Si still had many cronies with him. But even if they knew that Diao Si meant to embarrass them, they still had to obey orders.
Since there was no transport vehicle, they used backpacks and dry food instead. The main task of carrying them fell on more than a dozen Golden Light warriors. Now, after the research of those dwarves, they can also process and compress the food into something similar to the seafood food in the Radiant Empire, which is small in size and easy to carry.
After saying goodbye to Ouya and Kava, Diao Si led his small team and set off towards the west. His actions would definitely be known to many people, and there might be a lot of reception waiting for him along the way, so he had to take a route that bypassed those towns, especially the small town of Su Sha.
Because there were many people in the team who were against Diao Si, the atmosphere was a bit awkward along the way. In desperation, Diao Sicai arranged a middle-aged mage named Zhan Wei from the Zhantian family to be their captain. .
Zhan Wei originally had a very bad attitude towards Diao Si, but she never expected that Diao Si would arrange for her to be the captain. Instead, she became worried, afraid that Diao Si would accuse her of something, and repeatedly asked Diao Si to withdraw the order, but Diao Si ignored her.
Because the team was relaxed, their marching speed was faster. After walking for a little more than a day, they arrived at the previous camp town in the west of Northern Xinjiang.
After the general there welcomed Diao Si, he immediately sent out elite birdmen to inform Hao He over there. Originally, Diao Si was going to object, but the birdmen had already flown out, so he asked the generals here to send out new birdmen and ask them to inform Haohe to strengthen defense during his attack.
Diao Si's reason is that his attack this time may make the looting tribes think that the northern border is empty and there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and then lead their troops to invade the south. In fact, the main reason is that he does not want Hao He to leave the defense line in northern Xinjiang, and Diao Si does not want to fight with Hao He, which may affect his absolute leadership position.
He also specially asked the generals here to leave orders to Hao He, asking her to stay on the defense line of Northern Xinjiang and not leave under any circumstances, so as to ensure the safety of Northern Xinjiang when he put down the Western Rebellion.
Before they had enough rest in the camp, Diao Si led their team and climbed directly to the mountain. Originally, the generals in the camp here requested to send troops to assist, but Diao Si did not even ask for the necessary birdmen for the battle, so he took action.
Because many of the powerful warriors here have not been to such a high mountain, some warriors are not used to it even when climbing the mountain. They need to rest before they have climbed the first mountain.
Diao Si took out the map provided by the camp there and used his refraction magic to study the surrounding terrain. Only then did he realize that the air on this mountain was relatively thinner, which not only affected his refraction magic, but also made it a little more difficult to cast magic.
After continuing to climb for a while, when we finally reached the top of the first hill, there was actually a dark crystal warrior who had difficulty breathing. Her physique was very strong. Diao Si spent some time studying and suddenly realized that it was altitude sickness.
However, those mages who were not very physically fit had no problems, so Diao Si immediately asked several mages specializing in the water system to assist in the treatment of this dark crystal warrior.
He immediately checked all the soldiers, and sure enough, the condition of many of them had declined significantly. Diao Si ignored one issue before setting off, which was the geographical environment here.
Once a problem is discovered, it should be dealt with fundamentally, but it would be too embarrassing to retreat like this, and it would waste a lot of time to go back to the imperial city to prepare again.
Let’s try first to see if we can avoid those high mountain locations and try to go through the valleys. After Diao Si hesitated, he studied the maps again and finally determined a special route.
However, after walking like this, Diao Si realized that this route was much more difficult than he imagined, so in order to ensure that those in poor condition and mages with poor physiques were taken care of, their marching speed was even slower.
When it was dark like this, they couldn't reach the predetermined location at all, so they could only build a temporary camp in the mountains and fields.
The night on this mountain was even colder, almost as cold as Diao Si's previous time on the mountain in the Empire of Light, which made the condition of his subordinates who were already in poor condition even worse.
Many people had already suffered from various symptoms of altitude sickness. Only then did Diao Si understand why Hao He came here in person. This was because she had once tried to lead troops to this plateau area and she had such experience.
Unfortunately, there is nothing to turn back now. Now that he has come this far, Diao Si can only continue walking. He only hopes that his team will adapt to all this as soon as possible, and they can complete this ghost mission soon. (To be continued)
