“Everyone, I think many of you have heard of my name, but not many of you have seen me.
My name is Ye Li, and I’m a member of the Wang family’s weaponsmith team. The Soul Gathering Cannon that you have now was discovered by me, and I also personally led the research and casting.
And your artillery regiment was also established by me personally appointed by His Majesty."
Ye Li stood in front of the five hundred people and spoke loudly.
When the artillery regiment members heard this, their expressions changed slightly, and they looked at Ye Li with respect.
Naturally, they had all heard of Ye Li's name. After all, Ye Li was the only weaponsmith who was known as a master in the entire Farant Empire. They, the guards, had always been responsible for defending the imperial capital and the royal palace. How could they not know about the major events that took place in the imperial capital
Ye Li's demonstration of the talisman at the princess' wedding banquet was so spectacular that he surpassed the weapon-casting master of the Itasi Empire. This had become a legend in the Farant Empire, and the guards naturally knew about it.
Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Ye Li nodded secretly. It seemed that his reputation was still quite useful.
"We originally had no intention of incorporating your guards into the army. After all, your main mission is to protect the imperial capital, the royal palace, and the safety of His Majesty.
But now, Your Majesty is trapped in a dangerous place, and time is running out. It is impossible for us to select ordinary soldiers for training. We can only borrow your elite forces.
After all, you have the duty to protect His Majesty, and what we have to do now is to save His Majesty and escort him out of the siege.
You should all already know our mission this time. We have no choice but to go deep into dangerous areas and face an enemy force that is tens of times our size. Are you afraid? Answer me! ? "
Ye Li's tone became sonorous as he spoke.
After knowing Ye Li's identity, no one in the artillery regiment dared to look down on him anymore. When they heard his question, they naturally answered loudly and collectively: "We are not afraid!"
Ye Li nodded and said, "Although I am young, your strategic deployment and tactical arrangements this time were all proposed by me, so I want you to obey my command. Can you do it!?"
After hearing what Ye Li said, the members of the artillery regiment admired him even more. When they had been receiving training recently, they naturally understood the purpose of the training. They were also very satisfied with this guerrilla tactic that was like a vicious wolf that would bite and run away.
Since Ye Li could come up with such strategies and tactics, he must be someone who knew nothing about war, so they naturally accepted his command willingly.
"We are willing to obey your command, sir!"
Everyone in the artillery regiment answered in unison, including the five most powerful masters.
When Ye Li saw this situation, he naturally nodded and smiled with satisfaction.
After all, he had been training and living in the Imperial Guard for quite some time, so he was not completely ignorant of the military.
He knew that if an army wanted to be combat-effective, discipline and obedience were prerequisites. If he wanted to lead the army well, he must first make the soldiers believe in him.
This is also why Ye Li, who has always been low-key, would choose such a high-profile speech and report what he has done himself, just to make the soldiers recognize him.
Now that everyone has recognized him, he can truly be considered the leader of this artillery regiment.
"Okay, I will temporarily assume the position of head of the group now. Everyone listen up, we will march towards the Fulong Mountains!"
Ye Li roared while riding on his horse and gave the order to the artillery regiment to act.
"Yes, Captain!!"
After everyone in the artillery regiment responded, Kaidiwen and five masters implemented the specific orders as deputies, and then the original sergeants and ten-man captains in the Guards worked together to command the actions of all soldiers.
Of the 500 men in the artillery regiment, 255 artillerymen walked in the middle of the team, surrounded by the remaining nearly 250 ordinary soldiers as a defense.
A large group of people ran towards the Fulong Mountains at a very fast speed.
The Fulong Mountains are located in the east of the barbarian area and are not very close to the capital of the Farant Empire. Ye Li made a rough estimate that even if they ran at the fastest speed and rested for the shortest time, it would take at least ten days to reach the destination.
In other words, by the time they reached the Fulong Mountains, the Frant coalition forces had been trapped in the Fulong Mountains for a month.
They can't contact Edwin Lucas and others at all, and don't know whether they are still alive. The only thing they can do now is to break through the encirclement of the Jinde Empire and find the army of the Farant Empire.
Ten days was neither long nor short, and everyone was so anxious that they traveled extremely quickly.
At this time, the advantages of the spirit gathering cannon wheels designed by Ye Li were reflected. With the help of the Feng Qing Talisman, the large group of people moved very fast and their movement speed was not slowed down at all because of the spirit gathering cannon. This plan has withstood the test and made everyone feel more at ease.
Ten days later, on the outskirts of the Fulong Mountains, behind the encirclement of the Jinde Empire, 500 artillery soldiers finally arrived.
Ye Li led the team to a high ground and looked into the depths of the Fulong Mountains. He could not see any enemies at all and had no idea what the specific situation was.
"Master, we have already used the harrier to notify the scouts that were arranged earlier, and they will be coming over to join us soon.
We sent them here a month ago. In this month, they should have figured out the situation here. With them here, we are not in the dark."
Kaidiwen spoke up.
Ye Li nodded and said, "Well done. Pass the order down. Everyone, take a break first. When the scouts arrive, we will understand all the situations and then decide on the direction of action.
Since we have already been delayed for a month, one or two hours won’t make a difference.”
Kai Diwen nodded when he heard this, and quickly passed on Ye Li's order, asking everyone to rest on the spot.
After waiting for a while, several figures came quickly from a distance. Judging from their clothes, they were people from the Farant Empire.
"Master, the scouts are coming!"
Pierre said to Ye Li.
After several scouts approached quickly, they stood in front of Ye Li, Pierre and others.
They didn't know who the head of the corps was, so they could only tentatively ask Kai Diwen, "Five members of the reconnaissance team are here to report. I wonder which officer is the head of the corps?"
Kai Diwen pointed at Ye Li and said, "This is Captain Ye Li. Just report what you have discovered to him directly."
Several scouts were stunned when they heard this, and they were a little confused as to why the youngest-looking person was the regiment commander.
