After hearing John's plan, the Naga Queen didn't immediately respond.
She pondered carefully for a while before asking, "Are you saying that this plan won't be put into action immediately?"
"Correct, we must ensure that all preparations are thoroughly made before we can execute this plan! Before we proceed, I'll gather more information related to the Dark Faction!"
John's answer provided some reassurance to the Naga Queen, who ultimately agreed to his plan.
While John was preparing for the counterattack against the Dark Faction, Darklord had returned to his base.
After the recent series of crises, Darklord had situated his headquarters in a very secluded location, around the Sunset Mountain area.
Given the previous tug-of-war between the Dark Faction and the Order Faction over Sunset Mountain, neither side had significant control over the area, allowing Darklord to construct a fortress in a hidden spot within the mountain range.
