Chapter 471 471-Detailed Explanation of the Plan
The Naga Queen nodded in agreement.
As a very rational person, she would of course not lie.
After all, cooperating with John, an adventurer with great strength, would only bring benefits and no disadvantages to their Naga tribe.
"I will certainly keep my promise. However, you must first tell me what your plan is. How can I cooperate with you if I don\'t even understand your plan?"
The Naga Queen\'s request was actually very reasonable.
After all, if John was not willing to share his detailed plan, she would naturally be reluctant to cooperate.
"Of course, I will tell you my detailed plan right away. But you must promise not to be too surprised after hearing it," John said.
The Naga Queen nodded with a smile.
Although she did not show any impatience at John\'s words.
But in her heart, the Naga Queen wondered if John was perhaps a bit too arrogant.
She admitted that John\'s strength was indeed top-notch.
But how could John\'s plan be so far beyond her expectations?
In her mind, the Naga Queen believed she knew much more information than John did.
Of course, John was unaware of the Naga Queen\'s inner thoughts.
And even if he knew her true feelings, it would not concern him.
John only needed the Naga Queen\'s help to complete his plan.
"My plan is divided into three parts. The first part, of course, is to quickly investigate the members of the Mystery faction within the Naga tribe.
I believe there must be some members of the Mystery faction in your tribe, otherwise, there wouldn\'t be cases of your tribe members falling into madness due to the influence of Mystery.
To find these Mystery faction members, we must not act rashly. You must allow me to stay in the Naga tribe to conduct a thorough investigation.
Moreover, during my investigation, you cannot reveal that I am still in the Naga tribe. I think this part of the plan should not be difficult for you."
The Naga Queen nodded at this.
In her view, John staying in the Naga tribe had some additional benefits for them.
At least when the Naga tribe was under attack, John could provide assistance.
Although the Naga Queen had already collaborated with Darklord, she did not have a very good impression of him.
She merely thought of Darklord as someone who could help alleviate the threat from the Mystery forces.
If the Naga Queen believed that John alone could provide sufficient assistance to the Naga tribe, she would certainly choose to betray Darklord immediately.
Although she had signed a contract with Darklord through the gaming system, the Naga Queen felt she had enough ways to circumvent the restrictions of the contract.
After confirming her agreement with the first part of John\'s plan, he continued with his explanation.
"The second part of my plan is more complex than the first. I am very aware that your Naga tribe may soon face a tremendous threat. This threat could be from the Mystery faction or possibly from the Dark Faction. My plan involves your tribe appearing very weak when faced with threats from other factions.
Only by seeming weak will your enemies be enticed to launch their full attack. That\'s when I can take the opportunity to provide assistance. Although I can\'t guarantee complete success in defending against these attacks, I can certainly offer significant help. You are well aware of my strength, so I don\'t think I need to reiterate how powerful I am."
The Naga Queen nodded.
Although she considered the second part of the plan somewhat risky, if the situation John described did arise, she would have to rely on John to provide substantial assistance.
"The final part of the plan is actually the most complex. I\'m not sure how much you know about the current situation in Storm City. If your knowledge is limited, I will explain it in detail. If you are already well-informed, then I will just outline my plan."
The Naga Queen felt puzzled, not understanding why John suddenly brought up Storm City.
In her view, the affairs of Storm City seemed unrelated to those of the Naga tribe.
While Storm City had been attacked twice by the Dark Faction, she believed this was simply because it was an important town in the Northern Myst Empire.
"I have some understanding of the events in Storm City. However, I believe I am not as informed as you. So, please explain in detail."
Since the Naga Queen expressed her need for more information, John proceeded to recount the events that had occurred in Storm City.
After learning this information, the Naga Queen appeared slightly worried.
She felt that the attacks on Storm City must have some more hidden and significant reasons behind them.
"You must have realized by now that the attacks on Storm City are not as straightforward as they seem. Even if the Dark Faction planned to attack the Order Faction, it wouldn\'t make sense to start with Storm City. They could have targeted weaker defenses in the Order Faction\'s territories, where we might not be able to respond quickly."
John paused, signaling to Adam to bring out the map they had brought with them.
Unfolding the map, John pointed to a specific location and addressed the Naga Queen.
"You should be able to understand the area shown on this map, right? This map displays the region of Sunset Mountain. The forward outpost of Sunset Mountain is quite close to the Dark Realm. I have been to that outpost, and I acquired some additional information there. Although the Dark Faction and the Mystery faction are not openly hostile to each other, they are definitely not likely to cooperate.
The appearance of traces of Mystery power in your Naga tribe suggests that the Dark Faction might soon launch an attack against you. This attack is likely to be much more threatening than any previous ones. My goal is to use this attack by the Dark Faction to understand the exact nature of the relationship between the Dark Faction and the Mystery faction.
If these two factions, both adversaries of our Order Faction, were to unite, the situation we face would be truly desperate. Neither the Northern Myst Empire nor your Naga tribe would be able to safely withstand a joint attack from these two hostile factions."
After outlining his plan, John looked directly at the Naga Queen, waiting for her response.
The Naga Queen\'s feelings were extremely complicated at the moment.
Although she had known that the Naga tribe would face significant troubles ahead, she hadn\'t anticipated troubles of such magnitude.
If the Naga tribe were indeed to face a joint attack from the Dark Faction and the Mystery faction, even with John\'s help, the Naga Queen wasn\'t sure if they could successfully defend themselves.
"I can cooperate with your plan, but you must promise me one more thing. You must commit to fully assisting our Naga tribe when we face threats. I am very aware that in your previous battle with Shatras, you did not utilize all your strength. I hope that when fighting against hostile factions, you won\'t hold back."
John readily agreed to the Naga Queen\'s condition, as this was something he felt he ought to do.
"Absolutely, there\'s no problem at all! I can agree to your condition! Let\'s start taking action immediately!"
