Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 425

Chapter 425: The Loafer Extorts (5)

What is the most important phrase for a strategist?

Finding the answer is an arduous task. No one can answer it immediately. Even the experts of the Jegal family could not answer it immediately.

But, there may be a phrase that is personally the most important.

For Jegal U, that phrase was:

谋事在人 成事在天 (móushì zài rén chéngshì zài tiān) – Planning depends on man, success depends on heaven.

Jegal U believed that this phrase said a lot about strategists.

Even the most intelligent person cannot take everything into account. Even if you consider everything, there will always be variables.

These variables cannot be controlled.

Therefore, a strategist should never completely rely on his intelligence. Even if he has planned something perfectly, he must be prepared for something to go wrong due to small variables.

Jegal U always kept that in mind.

But in this case, he felt a little unfair.

Jegal U acted impulsively, but he had calculated things well.

Wei Yanho is from the Righteous Martial Alliance.

And what he is doing is clearly by order of the Righteous Martial Alliance. So, Wei Yanho cannot do anything that harms the Righteous Martial Alliance.

If there are victims and the relationship between the Jegal family and the Righteous Martial Alliance worsens, Wei Yanho will be responsible. That’s why Wei Yanho cannot attack the Jegal family.

If neither attacks, the situation will not worsen. That was Jegal U’s plan. Also… he had nothing to lose.

If Wei Yanho is caught, the morale of the Jegal family will increase, and if he is not caught, they will learn how big the world is.

He thought it would be beneficial for the Jegal family, regardless of the outcome…

‘Did he know this would happen?’

But what was happening exceeded his calculations.

“Aaaaaah!”

“Kaaaaah!”

“Forgive me!”

It was as if a tiger, not a wolf, had broken into a flock of sheep. The sheep try to resist, but… how can sheep defeat a tiger?

They were completely defenseless.

‘Is it that bad?’

Jegal U began to think about where he had gone wrong.

Was Wei Yanho stronger than he thought, or were the martial arts of the Jegal family weaker? He couldn’t answer with just what he saw.

“Behind!”

Boom!

A warrior of the Jegal family was hit by Wei Yanho’s fist and flew up.

“You only use your head!”

Bang!

This time, a warrior was kicked and rolled on the ground. The blow was so strong that it created a deep groove in the ground.

“Have you lost your sense of reality?”

Wei Yanho grabbed the warrior in front of him and threw him into the air.

“Aaaaaaaaaah!”

A scream echoed. Everyone felt fear as they watched the warrior fly away.

“W… what kind of person is he?”

“Fall back! Fall back! Don’t face him!”

“Tsk!”

Wei Yanho spat on the ground:

“What? Supreme Sovereign? Supreme Sovereign?”

Wei Yanho was furious:

“Are you kidding me? Supreme Sovereign? Have you seen the Supreme Sovereign? If you get hit by him, your spines will scream ‘forgive me!’, and if you get hit twice, you will regret it for life. What? Supreme Sovereign? Don’t mention that name!”

It might seem like he is fighting with respect for the Supreme Sovereign, but Wei Yanho did not respect the Supreme Sovereign. If you look for it deeply, you might find a little respect, but that wouldn’t change anything.

Wei Yanho is causing this chaos not because the Supreme Sovereign has been belittled, but because he is angry.

Who is the Supreme Sovereign?

The person who taught Wei Yanho a lesson for the first time. He vividly remembers almost dying from the Supreme Sovereign’s blow, what were they saying?

And they say they can beat that Supreme Sovereign, how could he not be angry?

“Alright. Let’s see if they can defeat the Supreme Sovereign.”

Wei Yanho arched his back.

Crack, crack!

A dull sound as if bones were breaking, and a fierce wind came out of Wei Yanho’s eyes.

“Waaaaah!”

He shouted loudly, but his fist was not fast. It was so slow that a fly could land on it.

His slow fist extended.

At the same time, the wind began to blow.

“Huh?”

At first, they thought it was just wind, but their eyes slowly widened.

It was not wind.

The wind was getting stronger as Wei Yanho extended his fist.

His internal energy was creating a wind.

“T… this?”

The pressure of Wei Yanho’s fist created wind. Then, that wind turned into a storm.

Although the strength was different, it was a technique similar to the one the Supreme Sovereign used against Wei Yanho. The difference is that the Supreme Sovereign’s internal energy was more powerful, and Wei Yanho’s was more explosive.

But perfection didn’t matter. The important thing was to show them the power of the Supreme Sovereign.

And the Jegal family saw how terrifying the power of the Supreme Sovereign was.

“I’m flying!”

People are helpless against the force of nature. Even great warriors cannot stop a typhoon or a wave.

The warriors of the Jegal family could not find a way to resist Wei Yanho’s supernatural power.

How can they resist a storm with human strength?

“Use the thousand-pound technique!”

When someone shouted, the warriors of the Jegal family joined their hands and used the thousand-pound technique.

Their feet sank into the ground.

But that didn’t mean they weren’t thrown.

Crack! Crack!

People can resist the storm, but buildings cannot. The buildings behind them began to be destroyed by the storm.

Then…

“Run away!”

“How?”

They tried to escape a hundred times in their hearts.

The walls and tiles of the building flew towards the warriors. Normally, they could easily dodge them, but how can they dodge them while using the thousand-pound technique?

They could only take the hits.

Screams and sounds of broken bones echoed.

“E…”

Jegal U could no longer remain calm:

“T… they must not destroy the buildings…”

The situation was getting worse.

‘Will I be able to avoid responsibility?’

If it had ended at a moderate level, he could have passed it off as a lesson for the young people of the clan. But…

‘Everything is collapsing.’

The buildings of the Jegal family, which had existed for hundreds of years, were collapsing like sandcastles.

What would the leader say when he saw this?

He would ask if the Demon Cult had attacked.

What if he tells him that a young man gave them a lesson?

‘The leader will give me a lesson.’

With his fists.

He would probably have to apologize all day.

He realized that the situation was getting worse, but Jegal U could not intervene. If he intervenes, he would have to stop Wei Yanho…

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Stop him?

Jegal U shook his head as he watched Wei Yanho beating people madly. It is better to commit suicide.

‘But I didn’t expect it to be like this.’

He hoped that the young people of the clan would see Wei Yanho’s power and awaken. But Jegal U realized that he had also underestimated the Righteous Martial Alliance and Central Plains.

Wei Yanho is a swordsman. But he is defeating the Jegal family without using his sword.

‘I am too weak.’

Although they had experienced war, the Jegal family had focused on predicting the enemy’s movements and planning strategies from the rearguard.

They underestimated the ability of the warriors.

If Wei Yanho is so powerful, how powerful will the experts who are considered more powerful than him be?

And how powerful will the leader of the Demon Cult be, whom even those experts cannot face?

Jegal U realized the great crisis they faced.

Even Wei Yanho was defeated by the leader of the Demon Cult.

How can they stop the Demon Cult if it attacks seriously?

“The world will be filled with blood.”

Jegal U sighed and looked at Wei Yanho:

‘And perhaps…’

The key to saving the world bathed in blood might be in front of him.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! This is the power of the Supreme Sovereign!”

“…….”

Although it is a slightly crazy key.

A little.

“…It’s a long trip.”

The mule shook and shook its head. The old man sighed and stroked the mule’s back:

“Hey, I don’t want to go. But what can I do? My brother asked me to go.”

When the mule resisted, the old man clicked his tongue and looked at the sky:

“My brother is too much. Why is he asking me to go to that place at my age?”

Although he didn’t like it, he had no choice.

Because he had caused this situation. If he had acted when he met him, things would not have gone wrong.

So he must fix it himself.

The old man, who had arrived at a crossroads, pulled the mule’s reins.

“Hmm.”

The old man, who was considering at the crossroads, spoke to the travelers who were approaching:

“Excuse me.”

“Yes?”

“How do I get to Sichuan?”

“…Sichuan? Are you going to Sichuan in that cart?”

“He he, yes.”

The travelers looked at the old man suspiciously as they saw the old cart and the mule. He didn’t seem to be in his right mind.

“Go this way. But old man… it’s a long trip.”

“It’s okay. If I have to do something, I must go, no matter the distance. Thank you. Let’s go! Mule!”

The old man hit the mule, and the mule moved with disgust.

The travelers sighed as they watched the cart move slowly.

“N… no…”

The travelers, who were about to stop the old man, opened their eyes wide:

“W… where did he go?”

“…Did we see a ghost?”

The cart had disappeared in an instant.

That happened on the road to Sichuan.
