Upon hearing this news, Fang Li's mind raced. The army of the Light Snow Kingdom had suddenly pressed down from the north, while the demons of the south were in chaos. In addition to his disappearance, how could there not be any connection between the three?

First of all, the mysterious disappearance of the only son of the Fang family made it difficult for Marshal Fang Lin Tao to concentrate. First of all, the inexplicable disappearance of the only son of the Fang family made it difficult for Marshal Fang Lin Tao to focus, and he even grabbed onto the marshal's weak spot. Secondly, the army from the north was pressing down, forcing Fang Lintao to personally lead the army to guard the north. The situation of the north surrounding but not attacking was coupled with the continuous intensification of the devilish chaos in the south, dispersing the Empire's forces. All of this seemed like a carefully planned conspiracy.

After nine days of the Heavy Qilin Guards bringing Fang Li and the other two on a rampage, they encountered an incredible ambush.

Qingan Town was south of the Yuan Lu Country, and the imperial city was the center of the entire empire. After leaving Qingan County, the Unicorn Guards had headed north, and after nine days of trekking, they had already reached the heart of the empire. However, at this time, on the mountain road, a large group of devils had actually appeared. There were hundreds of them.

How did these hundreds of devils reach the core of the empire without anyone noticing? This sudden turn of events caused everyone to tremble in fear.

The sound of the Qilin horses charging naturally attracted the attention of the demons, and they all rushed towards them.

However, when the Devils entered, Fang Li discovered that something was amiss. These Devils were actually splitting up. From the looks of it, they were actually trying to surround their own side.

Conscious devil!

It was too late for Fang Li to think about it. The Double Unicorn Guard did not show any signs of stopping, and instead sped up slightly. A few hundred enemies, to them, were annihilated with just two Charge. Moreover, the most powerful aspect of the Unicorn Guards was their charge like a rapidly moving wall of steel. As long as it was an enemy, they would only have the word 'charge'.

In almost the blink of an eye, the Heavy Unicorn Guards charged towards the Devils in front of them without a care in the world.

However, something inconceivable happened. Almost all the devils that were rammed by the Qilin horse unleashed their fists and palms at the same time, hitting the Qilin horse's body.

Although this heavy palm strike wasn't enough to make the Unicorn Horse stop, it caused the speed of the Heavy Unicorn Guards to be greatly reduced.

"Such a formidable Unicorn Guard, his reputation is well-deserved." At this moment, one of the devils actually shouted loudly, and then at an extremely fast speed, he once again surrounded all the soldiers, all of them brandishing their fists and palms, among them were devils, putting away their contempt and taking out their weapons to attack.

Although this was the first time that the thirty-six heavy guards had faced a devil, the chaos caused by the devil had been causing quite a stir. It was obvious that their strength was much greater than that of ordinary people, but they were completely unconscious.

But now, what happened caused everyone to be stunned.

After many rounds of attacks, the red robed Fang Li's Qilin horse was completely out of the running. As for the other heavy riders, they naturally turned around to help block them. As a result, they were faintly surrounded by hundreds of demons.

"The taste of the blood of the Unicorn Guard is vastly different from what ordinary people think."

"Hurry up and take care of these few important Unicorn Guards. We still have important matters to attend to, so we shouldn't delay what the higher-ups have ordered us to do."

"No matter how powerful the Du Yan, Yuan, Lu, and the Unicorn Guard are, they are nothing more than mediocre people. "Heh, killing them won't take too much effort."

Seeing that they were already faintly surrounded, the Devils did not rashly attack. From the looks of the attack just now, not only did it shock the combat strength of the hundreds of Devils, it also gave the Devils a wake-up call. Originally, they did not take the guards seriously at all, but their confident attacks just now had only slowed their charge down a little, and if they did not attack the young man in embroidered clothing in the end, they would not have been able to save the rest of the soldiers that had already rushed out.

"It would be a pity to kill these precious beast guards. If you surrender, then I won't die." The moment this voice was heard, no other sound came out from the demons. It was obvious that the devil who made this sound was the leader of this group.

This was obviously an offense plan, to first show off the enemy and let them feel as if they have no chance of survival, but at this moment, if it was just one person, even if ordinary troops do not surrender, it would cause the morale of the troops to waver. After all, no one would be able to face a life or death situation, and only a few people would hesitate, which would cause the combat strength of the entire army to be greatly reduced.

However, all of this was of no use to the heavily battled Unicorn Guards.

Each and every one of the elite guards proudly sat on their horses. When they heard the words of the devil, no one had the slightest thought in their eyes for a moment.

The Heavy Unicorn Guards were honorary masters of the Yuan Lu Kingdom. How many times had they faced enemies that were several times stronger than themselves? They had never known fear or trepidation.

Every one of these heavily armored guards was filled with pride. They were proud that they had won countless battles, and they were proud that their enemies had fallen at their feet time and time again to cultivate this pride.

How could he, for the sake of the enemy's little words, shake his heart? To everyone in the Heavy Qilin Guards, there would only be honorable deaths and no surrender.

This was the faith that belonged to every Unicorn Guard, and was also the reason why they often maintained their astonishing victory in battle when their enemies were several times stronger than themselves.

"Fight." The answer to the devil was the same word that the Heavy Unicorn Guards shouted at the same time.

This word 'battle' caused Fang Li's blood to boil.

This was the unified weapon of the Heavy Unicorn Guards, the long spear accompanying the saber at their waist. Now, all the Heavy Unicorn Guards held their spears firmly in their hands. The charge had been halted, and now there was only the battle of life and death.

"Assemble the formation." As the young leader of the Heavy Unicorn Guards shouted these two words, all of the Heavy Unicorn Guards rapidly formed a circle. The head and the tail of the qilin horse connected as they pointed their spears at the demons outside the circle.

"Set up the formation." With another loud shout, the Heavy Unicorn Guards formed a circle with their leaders as the center. The speed of the Qilin Horse was controlled to the extreme, and when the lance in both of their hands moved at high speed, it became a terrifying killing weapon.

The Devils watched as the circle gradually grew larger, and without any hesitation, they all retreated, expanding the encirclement by a lot.

"Kill!" The demon that advised them to surrender now revealed a ferocious expression. It was a foregone conclusion, it all depended on whose fist was harder.

"Your Highness, now that the crisis is over, I and my brothers will do their best to protect your two saviors." Each of the three heavyweight guards in the circle had a young man behind them. Naturally, they were Fang Li and the other two.

Without waiting for Fang Li's response, the high-ranking officer immediately shouted, "North!"

Following which, the high-speed formation formed by the 33 players expanded the encirclement by several times. After gaining the largest range of movement, it immediately transformed into a one-word formation.

The original circular formation meant to not kill the enemy, but to quietly widen the encirclement and give the qilin horse a longer distance to charge.

"Charge." The high-ranking officer shouted again. All of the heavily injured soldiers, including the ones who had brought Fang Li and the other three along, charged towards the north in a fan-shaped formation.

"Capture those three alive." The leader of the Devils pointed at Fang Li and the other two. These thirty-six Double Qilin Guards were probably protecting the three youngsters, so he must capture them alive. He must recall the brief confrontation just now. Seeing that more and more of the heavily injured Unicorn Guards had easily broken out of the encirclement, he suddenly had an idea. He ordered the Devils to focus on attacking this youth, forcing most of the heavily injured Unicorn Guards to turn around. From this, it could be seen that this youth was the most important lifeline to the Unicorn Guard. Someone who is able to be protected by such a great number of guards would likely have a high status in the Yuan Lu Kingdom. "

At this moment, the Devils looked at Fang Li's trio, who were being pointed at by their leader and protected by the Heavy Unicorn Guards on purpose, and they all licked their blood-red lips.

The Devils each took out their own weapons. After the first head-on clash, they no longer dared to underestimate the Unicorn Guard, and only used their fingers to attack.

The Heavy Unicorn Guard pointed his long spear towards the north and drew his saber. They charged towards the north as if intentionally or unintentionally protecting the qilin horses that the three of them were riding on.

In their first confrontation, if the Devils had not used their full strength and looked down on them, then the Heavy Unicorn Guards had not taken it seriously, and even their weapons had not been revealed. The Heavy Unicorn Guards did not think that these Devils could attack at the speed of a mere Unicorn Horse.

But now, both sides were ready to fight.

As far as the devils were concerned, they definitely could not let a heavy guard go, because the matter of their trip was extremely important. They absolutely could not let the heavy guard leave and disrupt their plans.

As for the heavily armed guards, the one they cared about the most was Fang Li. Even if they were to be completely annihilated, they had to ensure that their son was safely sent to the Marshal's Mansion.

After a round of attacks, the incoming demons and heavily injured soldiers were as if they had been magnified by a thousand times. Such a charge was extremely dangerous. A few of the heavily armored heavily armored heavily armored guards were seen being pierced by the soldiers. They were unable to play a very good role in the face of these elites and devils.

The Heavy Unicorn Guards were truly worthy of being the elite army of the Yuan Lu Empire. With the long spear in front, they wielded the sabers at their waists, and the Devils were trying to block the Heavy Unicorn Guards from breaking through the encirclement, so they naturally could not let them go. As a result, almost every Heavy Unicorn Guard could pass through two or three Devils with their spears, and the sabers on their waists relied on inertia.

In the first wave of attacks, apart from the three to five of the Heavy Unicorn Guards who had perished together with the enemy, a small half of the Heavy Unicorn Guards had been forced to halt in their advance by various attacks. Most of the Heavy Unicorn Guards, who were surrounding the frontlines, split up and sent out half of them to escort Fang Li's group of three towards the north, while the other half turned their heads and charged towards the Devils once again.

The reason why the other half of the group turned around was to help Fang Li gain more time and opportunity to charge out of the encirclement. He didn't want the demons to surround him again, so he turned around and charged back.

The short distance movement techniques of these devils were not the least bit inferior to the speed of the Qilin horse, which was unable to speed up to the limit.

The first time he was surrounded, it was also because of this reason that the devils constantly used their attacks to reduce the speed of the horse, and even more devils constantly used extremely fast agility to move from the front of the battlefield to the back, taking on the next heavy blow.
