367. Chapter 367 Legion

What should we do if I'm pregnant?

When people are full, they easily have random thoughts; Mo Li, her arms lotus‑root‑like around Lin Ke, asked sweetly.

Then just give birth to it.

Lin Ke answered without hesitation, paused, then added, 'Give birth to a litter.'

You're the one who's going to have a litter.

Mo Li gave Lin Ke an annoyed look.

Who has a litter in a lifetime? You're treating her like a pig!

Thinking this, she grew more indignant; her strength having partially recovered, she turned over and continued to press.

Such a shameless life lasted two full days before returning to normal.

After a trip to the Northern Border for exchange study, Mo Li's advanced studies at the academy's main campus also ended in graduation.

In fact, both could still remain in the academy's main‑world, but they had grown more accustomed to living in the homeland.

Whether it was the lakeside villa or the villa in the northern district of Ruowosith City, their feelings grew deeper.

If possible, Mo Li truly wished to continue living so peacefully and beautifully.

No need to rush about, no need to part.

Too bad it cannot be.

Lin Ke had already been promoted to Fourth‑Rank Sage, and naturally had to report to the academy; after giving his account and studying, he would command a legion and wage war across the heavens.

This rule was set when the academy was first founded.

Perhaps there will be exceptions, but Lin Ke is unlikely to receive special treatment.

So, after a brief reunion, they may have to part again.

Just thinking of this made Mo Li feel heart‑sore.

She had already been working hard to catch up, and her progress was extremely fast.

After a trip to the Northern Border for exchange study, returning to observe Lin Ke's promotion alone, she truly gained a little bit.

The will of the wizard world generously bestowed two favors upon Mo Li.

Her natal spirit beast, the God‑Devouring Worm, left the juvenile stage and entered the growth period.

She only needs some time to settle and digest these gains; becoming a Third‑Rank Wizard is already within reach.

But Lin Ke's strides are bigger; he is already a Sage.

The God‑Devouring Worm entering the growth period naturally greatly increased the feedback to Mo Li, especially its two traits: concealment and foresight.

After their most recent shameless encounter, Mo Li's foresight ability triggered, her words became prophecy, and she became pregnant!

This 'change of circumstances' made Mo Li abandon the idea of joining the Grand Sage Legion.

She must stay in the rear to handle logistics for Lin Ke.

It's all your fault!

Sensing the embryo forming, Mo Li couldn't help but bite Lin Ke's shoulder.

What could Lin Ke do?

Just endure it.

Or should he talk back?

Fortunately, Mo Li was only venting her emotions a little; she didn't keep biting, and no anger came from it.

After calm was restored, she got down to business.

The 'do whatever you want' management, the building of the legion's logistics, her own cultivation, and so on.

Lin Ke took some time, returned to the academy's main‑world to give his report, and then received a large pile of self‑study materials and brand‑new permissions.

After that, Lin Ke took root in the legion base provided by the academy, studying on his own while overseeing the legion's organization and training.

Whether looking long‑term or at the present, Lin Ke's treatment is far better than that of the Paro Sage and the Cody Sage.

He has more time to learn and grow, and he doesn't need to undergo internal elimination within the legion.

Thus, another month passed.

The organization and training of the Grand Sage Legion were completely finished.

The servant troops were also fully equipped with the new 'framework'.

Combat power is now ready.

That day, Dean Frisster sent a summons.

Lin Ke had long been prepared for this; after telling Mo Li, he set out to see the dean.

When will your tea supply resume?

Who would have thought the first words upon meeting would be an accusation?

I don't know for now.

Lin Ke glanced at the immortal‑martial planet in his sea of consciousness, still like amber, and answered truthfully.

Dean Frisster, wrinkling his brow, asked: 'Didn't Rosenstral give you three worlds? Can't you plant there?'

It's possible, but not so convenient to tend.

Lin Ke naturally also considered doing that.

But without Franlan tending the tea trees, could they still produce such fine tea leaves?

You should know that Franlan can share knowledge from Lin Ke.

All of Lin Ke's research on tea‑tree breeding, cultivation, picking, roasting, refining, and so on can be shared with Franlan without loss.

But others, without long‑term study and practice, cannot reach Franlan's level.

Therefore, Lin Ke simply couldn't be bothered to do those.

Anyway, aged tea is drinkable; we'll just make do.

Moreover, some teas become more fragrant with age.

"Alright."

Dean Fulisite, who likes green tea, was still somewhat unwilling, but could only skip the topic and say, "Your first conquest mission has arrived."

"What world? What requirements?"

Lin Ke sat upright, his attitude turning solemn.

Conquest is no trivial matter; no matter how seriously one treats it, it's never too much. The greatest taboo is arrogance and carelessness.

"A world with a 5th-level Supernatural cap, its most special aspect is that it once had the existence of deities."

Dean Fulisite took a document from the drawer, handed it to Lin Ke, and said, "Generally, the first world conquered by a newly promoted Sage-led legion is half mission, half reward. You are no exception."

"Hmm."

Lin Ke knew the rule, acknowledged it, took the document, and examined it carefully.

The more he looked, the more something felt off.

Without worrying about propriety, he looked at the dean and asked in a low voice, "Is this called half reward?"

"Of course."

Dean Fulisite nodded nonchalantly and emphasized, "In some people's view, this is certainly half reward."

Lin Ke was momentarily speechless, wanting to complain.

Is the academy using him as bait to fish?

That mission world with a 5th-level Supernatural cap indeed once had deities; it's somewhat tricky but not impossible to handle.

The truly special aspect is that it was once occupied by a lineage disciple of a ninth-level Sage under the Saint of Nuositeluodamu.

After the Saint's demise and the loss of the Mystic wizard school, this mission world also drifted abroad.

The reason it hasn't returned to this day is not that the wizard world couldn't find its traces, but that no wizard organization dares to touch it.

The lineage disciple who occupied this mission world is none other than the one who preserved part of the Saint's inheritance.

The karma involved is huge!

"Why me?"

Lin Ke asked, bewildered, "I paid what price to sever ties with that Saint; Dean should know."

"Of course."

Dean Fulisite answered first, then said solemnly, "I've confirmed that the mission world has a high probability of being converted into a natal world." "But it involves that Saint!"

Lin Ke's attitude was firm; he didn't blindly chase benefits.

Moreover, this benefit wasn't enough to move Lin Ke's heart.

"You sure you don't want it?"

Dean Fulisite didn't continue persuading, "If you're sure, I'll give you another mission."

Saying that, he took out another document from the drawer.

"Let me take a look."

Lin Ke took the document and read it carefully, not missing any detail.

The new mission world also has a 5th-level Supernatural cap, no relation to that Saint, but still has troubles.

Choose the lesser of two evils.

Without hesitation, Lin Ke chose to conquer the new mission world.

Isn't it just that a deity from the world of gods is suspected to have reincarnated there?

Just destroy it.

"Go on your own."

Dean Fulisite put away the previous document and waved his hand impatiently.

"Thank you, Dean."

After giving thanks, Lin Ke left swiftly.

Moments later, a figure quietly appeared in Dean Fulisite's office.

"You just switched his mission like that?"

Lisangdela sat opposite Dean Fulisite, asking in a faint tone.

"What else?"

Dean Fulisite retorted lightly.

"This is an order passed down from the High Council."

"So what? The High Council is the High Council, the Five Saints are the Five Saints."

"The High Council was ultimately established by the Five Saints."

"Was Ruowosixueyuan Academy founded by the Diaomande Family? When did all of Ruowosixueyuan Academy's actions become solely the will of the Diaomande Family?"

"I won't argue these with you; you always have a point. I just mean that for a Linke Grand, there's no need to put the academy at odds with some factions of the High Council."

"Blind obedience will only cause trouble. If we sacrifice Linke Grand today, will we have to sacrifice you or me tomorrow?"

"I don't mean to sacrifice him! What's wrong with being involved with that Saint? Does it mean taking his life?"

"Heh..."

Dean Fulisite snorted coldly, ending the unpleasant conversation between the siblings.

Lisangdela flicked her sleeves and left.

Dean Fulisite rose and went to the window, gazing into the distance.

A great upheaval unseen in thousands of years, bringing both great opportunity and great terror.

Ruowosi Academy, in this great upheaval, seized an early lead, naturally drawing envy and targeting from some petty people.

Some people and forces, intending to suppress Ruowosi Academy via the Supreme Council, had been anticipated by Fuliste.

But he never expected that those people and forces would actually strike at Linke Grand.

Moreover, their first move was extremely disgusting.

They actually tried to force Ruowosi Academy to drag Linke Grand back into involvement with that saint.

The harm is not great, but it's extremely disgusting!

On this matter, Fuliste withstood the pressure, secured a backup option for Lin Ke, and gave hints in words while providing care in action.

Lisangedala actually agreed more with Fuliste's viewpoint on this matter.

However…

She needed to make some statements to appease the conservative wizards and wizard families gathered around her.

So, an unpleasant 'argument' between the sister and brother serves as an explanation.

The Diomande Family never yields.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the entire second generation to have perished!

After leaving the dean's office, Lin Ke realized he was being watched.

Moreover, the person or force watching him is not ordinary, with influence great enough to interfere in the academy's arrangements for the new sage's crusade mission.

In the wizard world, only the Supreme Council can achieve this.

However, Lin Ke does not simply hate the Supreme Council.

After all, the Supreme Council is merely a platform, a tool; anyone with intent can use it.

Using power for personal gain has never been anything new.

Regarding this matter, Lin Ke's response is to have no response, to calm it with stillness.

Anyway, if the sky falls, the tall ones will bear it first.

As the chief of their faction, Dean Fuliste has the duty to seek benefits for supporters like Lin Ke, Paro Sage, Kedi Sage, and Selin Sage, and to withstand pressure.

Likewise, when Dean Fuliste truly needs his supporters to exert effort, they must give full support.

Rights and duties have always been two sides of the same coin.

Lin Ke reminded himself to be extra careful, extra cautious, and then returned to the Grand Sage Legion's base as if nothing had happened.

The three main corps, the guard corps, the star fleet, the star-annihilation fortress, the servant brigade, and logistics support have all been ready to depart.

As the legion commander, Lin Ke holds supreme authority within the Grand Sage Legion.

However, Lin Ke did not rule autocratically; instead, he implemented a magic-revised democratic centralism.

All functional departments in the legion—such as the Staff Department, Intelligence Department, Inspection Department, and Education Department—received assignments to devise at least five attack plans, three defense plans, and as many contingency plans as possible for this crusade.

Most importantly, every legion member must know and familiarize themselves with how to respond when the legion faces difficulties caused by force majeure.

Relevant cases from wizard history, such as the Paro Sage Legion's frontline position losing contact with its rear base, must be taken as reference to learn from past mistakes.

They will set out in ten days; before then, all plans must be completed.

Under Lin Ke's command, the entire Grand Sage Legion went into frantic operation.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

The attack, defense, and contingency plans, having passed review under the magic-revised democratic centralism, were to be disseminated by the Education Department and overseen by the Inspection Department, ensuring every member familiarized themselves with all plans.

Having clear grounds for advance and retreat, with strict discipline, is exactly Lin Ke's demand for the Grand Sage Legion.

This cannot be accomplished in just a day or two.

Nor can it be achieved solely through study and training.

Lin Ke prepared to temper the Grand Sage Legion's readiness during the march and campaign.

When the time came, the legion set out and began the first battle of the campaign across the heavens.

All members passed through the portal and arrived in the starry sky.

With the star-annihilation fortress as the vanguard, the star fleet carried out a mass transfer via a temporary, one-time portal erected in the starry sky.

Mo Li did not go to see Lin Ke off; she increasingly disliked partings.

She touched her still-flat belly, sensing the unborn life within, and Mo Li quickly suppressed all unnecessary emotions, throwing herself into work.

The Grand Family was established the moment Lin Ke and Mo Li conceived a new generation.

Ensuring the stable development of industries belonging to the Grand Family is the mission Mo Li found for herself.

War is about resources; it is about Magic Stone.

Since she cannot fight alongside Lin Ke for the time being, she should manage the industries well to provide Lin Ke with Magic Stone and resources.

Within the star fleet, after confirming all warships had exited the portal, Lin Ke issued the command:

"All forces, advance!"
