Initially, he had been concerned that members of the Dark Faction or the Mystery Faction might have strong forces stationed around Weeping Shore.

Surprisingly, there was not a soul in sight around Weeping Shore.

Furthermore, the Tethys whale, which served as transportation to the Naga tribe, had not been eliminated.

This implied that the Naga tribe was likely not facing significant trouble at the moment.

If they were not in dire straits, then why had Queen Naga mentioned a crisis to him?

Ocean Sage's earlier warning had already eroded some of John's trust in Queen Naga, and the situation at Weeping Shore only deepened his skepticism.

Although John had formed a certain judgment about Queen Naga, he would not make a final decision until he reached the Naga tribe.

As John arrived at the entrance of the Naga tribe, he could feel a powerful force of aquatic magic present.

This indicated that at least the barrier at the entrance of the Naga tribe had not been breached. freewe bnovel.com

John found himself unable to enter the Naga tribe without utilizing the power of the Book of the Astral Realm.

This confirmed his suspicion that Queen Naga had been dishonest all along.

"It looks like Ocean Sage's warning was indeed correct. Queen Naga has been lying, and she is likely cooperating with the Mystery Faction. I must exercise caution. If Queen Naga has set a trap for me, I need to escape it as soon as possible. After all, in our current situation, dealing with the Dark Faction threat takes top priority. I must ensure the safety of Storm City first, and once that's secured, I'll find a way to make Queen Naga pay."

John had planned out every step of his actions before entering the Naga tribe.

This made him less anxious than before.

John had always been a cautious individual, and without a plan, he would have been in a state of panic.

However, with a solid plan in place, he remained calm and followed it meticulously.

John took out the Book of the Astral Realm, and with its power, he successfully entered the Naga tribe.

However, the moment he stepped into the Naga tribe, he realized that his earlier judgment had been somewhat mistaken.

Unlike the calm entrance, the situation inside the Naga tribe was dire.

John immediately spotted a Mystery Vanguard standing right at the entrance of Queen Naga's palace.

Furthermore, Chief Legend Magus Shatras of the Naga tribe was engaged in combat with this Mystery Vanguard.

John's arrival drew the attention of both the Mystery Vanguard and Shatras.

The Mystery Vanguard chose not to attack John directly and continued its assault on Shatras.

With no means to face the Mystery Vanguard alone, Shatras had no choice but to seek John's help.

"Since you're here, why don't you lend me a hand? My strength isn't as formidable as the Mystery Vanguard's. If you don't help me now, I'll be eliminated by the Mystery Vanguard!"

Shatras' words prompted John to act swiftly.

He joined the battle between Shatras and the Mystery Vanguard, and with his assistance, they managed to eliminate the Mystery Vanguard.

While Mystery Vanguard might have posed a certain level of threat to John before acquiring the Book of the Astral Realm, its threat level had now been reduced to almost zero.

With Astral's assistance, John could easily sever the connection between the Mystery Vanguard and the Mystery Saint.

Once the Mystery Vanguard couldn't access more Mystery power, it became significantly less formidable in battle.

After eliminating the Mystery Vanguard, John finally had the opportunity to ask Shatras about the situation.

After all, from the appearance of the Naga tribe's entrance, there should have been no crisis at hand.

However, before John could inquire, Shatras addressed him directly.

"I'm very grateful for your timely rescue, but we must hurry to other places. The Naga tribe is currently under a comprehensive attack by Mystery creatures. Defense elsewhere is equally challenging, and we must first eliminate the majority of the Mystery creatures."

With that, Shatras used magic to teleport away.

Although John had some lingering questions, he couldn't press further at the moment.

As Shatras had mentioned, the priority was to eliminate the enemy.

With John's help, Shatras successfully eradicated the majority of the Mystery creatures in the Naga tribe.

Once they were sure there were no other formidable Mystery creatures left, John finally had the opportunity to inquire further.

"Why did this situation occur? I couldn't see any signs of an attack on the Naga tribe from the entrance. And why hasn't Queen Naga appeared? With such a massive crisis in the tribe, isn't she taking any action? Has she become too complacent?"

In response to John's questions, Shatras didn't immediately answer.

She was still quite exhausted and needed some time to gather herself and explain everything clearly.

After a brief rest, Shatras began to explain the crisis that had befallen the Naga tribe.

After John and the others left the Naga tribe, it fell victim to a seal imposed by the Mystery power.

The Mystery power successfully mimicked the Sea God's power, fooling all members of the Naga tribe initially.

By the time Queen Naga detected the anomaly, it was already too late.

Mystery creatures summoned by the Mystery power had launched an immediate attack on the Naga tribe, and their assault had initially been highly effective.

The defensive forces within the Naga tribe had already been significantly depleted at the outset of the attack.

In order to secure the Naga tribe, Queen Naga had no choice but to activate the tribe's defensive magical array.

After activating the defensive magical array, Queen Naga's own powers were severely weakened, leaving her unable to combat the Mystery creatures.

The quest to battle these creatures fell to other members of the Naga tribe, with Shatras, as a Legend Magus, taking on a prominent role.

Despite Shatras and the other Naga guards' valiant efforts in battle, the Mystery creatures summoned by the Mystery power proved overwhelming, and they were constantly on the defensive.

Unable to overcome the dire situation with their own strengths, Queen Naga had no choice but to seek help from John and his companions.

She used her last remaining powers to send out a distress call.

The news of the Naga tribe being under attack reached John and Duke Arsena as a result of this desperate plea for assistance.

Having understood the situation, John no longer harbored the same doubts about Queen Naga as before.

However, he did not become any more relaxed. Even if Queen Naga had not cooperated with the Mystery Saint, the actions of the Mystery power indicated that the Mystery Faction had aligned themselves with the Dark Faction.

The actions of the Mystery Faction were now effectively aligned with the Dark Faction.

With these two opposing factions operating in tandem, John felt that defending Storm City this time would be an incredibly challenging task.

However, John believed it was time to rely on the power of the players.

After all, players had remained passive during the previous crises in Storm City.

If the Northern Myst Empire or Duke Arsena could offer players suitable rewards, they would certainly be willing to assist in defending Storm City.

Some players were even willing to join the Dark Faction for rewards, so it was only logical that some would align with the Order Faction.

Furthermore, Storm City had a vast number of players, which meant they possessed significant collective power.

With their willingness to help, the defense of the Order Faction would undoubtedly become more manageable.

Having considered these factors, John decided to meet with Queen Naga directly.

In his view, since he had already eliminated the majority of the Mystery creatures within the Naga tribe, Queen Naga should no longer need to maintain the defensive magical array around the tribe.
