"Roger!" A beautiful voice as silver bell sounded from the carriage, and Jessica poked her head out of the carriage window.

"Jessica, what's the matter?" Roger asked after hearing Jessica's voice.

"Roger, do you think it's a bit strange? We are all about to arrive in Hangu Town, but why isn't anyone here to pick us up? You know, we have sent people to inform our uncle and the city lord Rudendolf of Hetante City!" Jessica frowned slightly and whispered.

"Well, after you say this, I think there is something wrong with it. Even if the people in my family don't know how many places we should go out to welcome the princess to welcome the princess, it is impossible for Marquis Ludendorf, as the city lord, to know. Moreover, with his personality, we will most likely meet him a hundred miles away from Hangu Town to greet him." After thinking for a while, Roger also found the problem.

"Please note! The situation may be wrong! Everyone is on alert! Let's slow down now and move slowly towards Hangu Town!" Jessica immediately gave an order to the whole team.

The twelve guards who followed Jessica this time were all of the sixth-level knights or above. The guard commander Adams also reached the seventh level, and they were all selected from several family children of Baissus who were related to the royal family. They have always been loyal to the royal family.

In addition to her twelve guards, William also sent 300 royal guard cavalry escorted by Singer, a deputy captain of the Guards. He had fought with Japeng's army in the front line of Thunder Hammer, and was transferred to the Guards shortly after.

After hearing Jessica's order, Adams immediately made a gesture. With a neat "click", three hundred cavalrymen and guards pulled out their swords and slowly moved forward.

He is worthy of being the elite of the royal family, well-trained, and even his movements are so uniform. Roger secretly praised in his heart.

However, Jessica's brow frowned slightly, and her expression was not that relaxed, because she knew that the focus of these royal guard cavalry had always been on the ceremonial ceremony. So of course the movements were neat. But if she really encountered an enemy who was fighting for life and death, was it still unknown whether the combat effectiveness was as good as their appearance.

After walking for more than twenty miles with a warning attitude, the group finally heard a sound of horse hooves in front of them. Everyone immediately became alert, unsheathed their swords and stared straight ahead.

Soon, more than a dozen knights wearing garrison uniforms appeared in front of them. They ran to Roger and Jessica, and Fang held the horse and stopped.

Roger looked at this time and found that the knight in the lead was Clyde. However, he was covered in dust and had a few cuts on his clothes. Fortunately, no blood oozed out. His expression was very embarrassed. It would be better to say that he came to welcome the princess than to say that he came down from the battlefield.

"Clyde, the captain of the first squad of Hangu garrison, greeted His Highness the Princess and the Third Young Master!" Clyde and the more than a dozen cavalrymen who came with him got off the horse, knelt down on one knee, and respectfully delivered a knight salute.

"Brother Clyde, what's wrong with you? Why are there any wounds on your body? Did you encounter an attack?" Roger also jumped off his horse at this time, hurriedly ran to Clyde, helped him up and looked at it carefully.

"Hey, let the Third Young Master and His Highness laugh. Since last month, several bandits suddenly came to our area. They killed and robbed people and did everything evil. We have been suppressing bandits some time ago. Fortunately, Lord Ludendorf dispatched the city guards of Hetante City, and then he barely eliminated the bandits. But three days ago, a large group of bandits came from the border area. These bandits were divided into two groups. The big ones were divided into jungle in the east of Hetante City. I heard that Lord Ludendorf personally led people to suppress bandits the day before yesterday, but I don't know if they were suppressed. The small ones rushed to our Hangu Town, and they were stationed on the hills near the foggy forest. Captain Hawking has led two other teams to eliminate them. So, today I am the only one to welcome the young master and the princess." Clyde said in a breath.

Roger and Jessica were both stunned. Roger said in surprise: "Although our area is relatively poor, the people's customs have always been relatively simple. Even when they were so poor, there were no troubles in the past. Now the living conditions of the people should be much better than before. Why are there bandits appearing instead?"

"These bandits seem to have all come from the border. I caught a bandit half a month ago. He said he couldn't make it there anymore. The leader thought that only by moving to the mainland could he have a way out, so the whole group ran over." Clyde quickly explained.

Roger and Jessica looked at each other, and both saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.

"Adams!" Jessica said with a sharp eyebrows.

"I'm here!" Adams answered quickly.

"You send a few people to the border to inquire about the situation. Why did all the bandits in the border areas run to the mainland? Why did the border guards not inform the capital of the abnormal situation that happened more than a month ago?" Jessica's face changed slightly, and she was obviously very annoyed that the officers below knew that they would not report it.

"In addition, inform Rudendolph to come to Hangu Town to see me! Tell him that I already knew about the bandits here. But the responsibility was not on him, so he didn't have to worry that my father would hold him accountable for the poor governance of the place and that the bandits would be rampant." Jessica still had a clear understanding of Rudendolph's mentality.

"Okay!" Adams quickly said a few words to a cavalry captain behind him, and then the captain immediately ordered his ten cavalry to split three cavalry to run towards Hetante City. He himself led seven other people to Linxi Town, more than 300 miles away, which was a border town close to Is and the border guard station in the east of Baissos.

"Brother Clyde, please lead us to Hangu Town. Let me see if there are any injured townsmen in Hangu Town that need treatment. After all, I am also a level 5 water magician." Jessica turned around and said calmly to Clyde.

"Your Highness Princess, you are really dead! You can't call me Clyde like that. You should call me Clyde!" Clyde was really scared when he saw Jessica calling him elder brother as the princess.

"Brother Clyde, Roger calls you Brother Clyde, so I'll follow him to call him like this. It's not a formal occasion now, I think it's more intimate and casual!" Jessica said with a smile. The moving smile made Clyde stunned.

"Please follow His Highness and the Third Young Master to follow you! You will cross that small hill ahead and go to the town." Seeing this, Clyde stopped insisting, but got on the horse and led his small cavalry to open the way in front.
