444. Departure
After Wang Bo left the palace and returned to his castle, he instructed the butler to pack up his things and go out on a long trip tonight.
The butler was a little puzzled, "Master, I don't understand why I should obey the orders of a king, who is nothing more than a human being. ”
In the steward's mind, humans are too fragile, even for kings.
He could have easily killed the king.
Even if the entire king's human race came to attack them, he was not afraid, with the strength of the master, no, he didn't even need the master to make a move, with the power of their hundreds of demons, it would not be too easy to defeat this king.
Whether in strength or strength, they have an absolute advantage.
So the butler really didn't understand why his master would obey the orders of a human, which was not magical.
Wang Bo calmly explained: "I'm not following the orders of a king, I just want to travel around this other world and rescue some humans by the way, that's all." ”
Yes, if Wang Bo is unwilling, even the king can't help him.
However, he finally came to a different world that he had never added, and without walking around and appreciating the customs of another world, Wang Bo always felt that something was missing.
After all, when he was an otaku, he once dreamed of traveling in another world.
This time it's coming, so naturally you won't miss it.
Even if there was no order from the king, Wang Bo would take the time to go outside.
The king's order was just for Wang Bo to realize this idea in advance, and in the process of traveling, he could also save some innocent lives, so why not.
He's not a cold-blooded animal.
After listening to Wang Bo's words, the housekeeper couldn't help but suddenly realize, and immediately ordered the demons under his command to start preparing to travel.
Soon, an afternoon passed in a hectic way.
At night, Wang Bo rode in a carriage and led a group of soldiers disguised as humans by demons, leaving his castle and heading towards the border of the kingdom.
However, before they could go far, a team chased after them from behind.
"Wait, Duke." The shouts came from far and near.
Wang Bo waved his hand and told the team to stop.
A well-trained team galloped in and stopped at the side of Wang Bo's team, led by the heroic young men who had been seen in the palace this afternoon...... Prince Kit.
Beside him, there was still the inseparable chief of the guard.
After the prince led the team to catch up with Wang Bo, he reined in his horse and smiled brightly, "Please allow me to walk with you, Duke." ”
Wang Bo looked at the team behind him, all the cavalry, it seemed that the king had agreed to the prince's request, and sent such an elite force to protect the prince.
Immediately, Wang Bo nodded and said nonchalantly, "This is my honor, prince." ”
So, the two teams will reconcile and set off together towards the border.
Wang Bo's team is all demons, even if they disguise themselves as humans, they still disdain weak humans, so they maintain a proud posture along the way, and don't take the prince's team in their eyes at all.
The two teams can have redundant exchanges from start to finish.
But all this fell into the eyes of the chief of the guard, and he was somewhat surprised to see a force that was not smiling, well-trained, and forbidden.
Even the palace guards couldn't do this.
It seems that the duke is very good at managing the army.
So he told the prince about this discovery, not to warn the prince of the duke, but to encourage the prince to learn from the duke how to train the troops. If the armies of the entire country could be as disciplined as the duke's private army, then they would not have to fear those powerful nations.
The prince was a little moved when he heard the instigation of the chief of the guard, and as a prince, the heir of the next king, he knew very well the importance of the army.
So at noon the next day, the prince took advantage of the meal to ask Wang Bo for advice on military issues.
For example, if your national strength is weak, how can you defeat the enemy.
Another example is how can one's own army turn defeat into victory if it faces an overwhelming unfavorable situation.
To be honest, these questions made Wang Bo look confused.
Military problems? He doesn't understand.
Wang Bo has always fought alone, never formed a gang, let alone trained the army, he has mastered six of the seven tricks in this regard...... Ignorant.
Faced with the question of how the prince can win more with less, Wang Bo gave a sixteen-character mantra after thinking twice.
"The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase!"
This is Taizu's famous guerrilla warfare quote back then, even if it is a person like Wang Bo who is not proficient in military affairs, he can memorize it.
When he told the prince this, he was astonished.
Don't look at these sixteen words as simple, but they are indeed the essence of summing up from countless wars.
The prince received an elite education from an early age, and was basically proficient in horseback riding, archery, military affairs, literature and art, and fencing, and was not a man of rhetoric.
That's why he can understand what it means.
The prince chewed the sixteen-character mantra over and over again, and the more he chewed, the more flavorful it became, and he felt that there was countless wisdom in the sixteen-character mantra.
This made him amazed, and he saluted Wang Bo, "Duke, it's great that our country has you. ”
Yes, they are so lucky to have such a weak country with such a duke full of wisdom.
Wang Bo sighed at this, no wonder his father trusted the other party so much.
He decided that after he ascended the throne, he would definitely rely on this wise duke to govern his country more perfectly, just like his father.
Wang Bo looked at the prince with an excited face, and didn't understand why the other party suddenly became excited by himself.
Is there anything wrong with this guy?
In the duke's memory, there is no message that the prince is a fool.
Wang Bo pursed his lips and decided to ignore the self-excited prince and dine carelessly.
Aside from the hiccups on the road, after three days, the crowd finally reached the borders of the kingdom.
Yes, their country is so small that it can be rushed from the royal capital to the border in three days.
Wang Bo estimated that the land of their country is not even as large as that of a state in the United States, that is, tens of thousands of square kilometers, and the population does not even exceed 500,000, making it a veritable small country.
And the countries around them, everyone is bigger than them, more powerful than them.
It is not an exaggeration to say that their country is surviving in the cracks.
