William had no reason to stop the players from participating in the Great Voyage Campaign. Hence, he used the method of missions to support them. This way, they could gain some experience while fighting for resources in the sea. This would ensure that their levels would increase steadily. Otherwise, they would all be demoted.
After all, the players represented the City of Dawn. They would be useful during the Darkness invasion.
Hence, just as the aggressive players were about to board their warships and attack the player fleets of the Rune Continent and the Archipelago Continent, William suddenly issued many missions.
[Level A + Mission: Try your best to occupy all the resource islands within 1,000 nautical miles of the eastern sea region of the East Sea City.]
[Level A + Mission: Try your best to occupy all the resource islands within 1,000 nautical miles of the southern sea region of the City of Dawn.]
[Level A + Mission: Stop the forces of other continents from entering within 1,000 nautical miles of the City of Dawn. You will receive rewards for every foreign continent fleet that is destroyed.]
[Level A Mission: After finding small, medium, large, or super large resource islands, if you do not have the ability to mine them by yourself, you can seek help from the City of Dawn. You will receive 40% of the mining rights.
At the same time, the chosen ones will be in charge of defending the islands together with the Dawn Fleet.]
[Level A Mission: Search for resources that can be mined from the seabed.]
…
At this moment.
Countless players were dumbfounded. Originally, they were going to fight a war and fight for China's reputation. All the resource islands were put on the back burner. However, when the prince gave out so many quests, the players immediately felt that there was definitely something to be gained from this war. It was far from just fighting to the death.
What were the previous wars in the virtual online games?
The wars were about the resources that the players had accumulated in the previous versions of the game. This would cause internal strife among the players, which would stimulate the players to crazily spend money. The game company would then make a lot of money.
In other words …
In any virtual online game, there was no profit to be made in the war!
Regardless of whether the players won or lost, the resources and rewards would be very small. Unless the super bosses who did not die in battle and did not drop their equipment could earn some money, under normal circumstances, no matter which side the players were on, they would suffer a huge loss.
But the bosses who did not have to die would just spend too much money in advance. It would also be a huge loss.
However, the excitement of the Kingdom War was just that great.
This was the glory of the players!
When a national war started in any virtual MMORPG, there would definitely be countless players rushing into the game. The ordinary players would spend hundreds or even thousands of gold coins, while the rich players would spend tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of gold coins. It was all for nothing else but to fight for their honor!
In particular, the Gods of Slaughter forum was not locked. Both sides had been cursing each other fiercely, and the players had long since been suppressing their anger. If they did not fight now, when would they?
However, the gamers did not expect Gods to be different.
It turned out that there were many resource islands in the sea. Some of the resource islands could even make the City of Dawn envious.
This also meant that as long as the Kingdom War was won, the victorious side would obtain great benefits. It was definitely not a battle where both sides would risk their lives and both sides would suffer losses.
In particular, the City of Dawn's fleet seemed to be participating in the naval battle. This made the Chinese players very excited.
"Gosh, Prince William is really meticulous. As long as the Dawn Fleet follows behind us, what is there to be afraid of?"
"Oh yes, didn't we obtain resource cards two days ago? Prince William has already occupied six large resource islands during the version update. He is also excavating resources from the seabed in some shallow waters. This means that the NPC forces of other continents will also be participating in this battle."
"I can't take it anymore. I'm too excited. This is a true naval battle. I want to be a pirate. No one can stop me."
William's provision for the national war was not limited to this.
Hence, near the port of the City of Dawn, a huge notice board was hung.
After the players gathered around, they sucked in a breath of cold air again, all of them completely excited.
[Naval Battle Shop]
[Resources: Warships, magic cannons, cannons, heavy-duty crossbows, magical Gatling guns, sea maps, resource maps, sea monster maps, etc.] (Collapsible)
[Employment: Captains, crew members, navigators, warship maintainers, sea monster observers, resource explorers, etc.] (Collapsible)
[Consumption: Magical crystals, magic scrolls, warship maintenance materials, diving potions, seasickness potions, etc.] (Collapsible)
When this notice board appeared, ten naval battle shops were opened near the port to provide services to the players.
When the leaders of the large guilds opened the 'Employment Shops'.
Instantly.
They were blinded.

The Guild Leader and the others were dumbfounded. All the captains were Grandmasters and there were three Epic captains on vacation.
Three Epic-ranked captains!
This was a Golden Legend.
Did the players know how to pilot a warship?
To be honest.
They really did not.
In fact, the first war was very difficult.
Especially for the Chinese players, they did not have much experience in naval battles. Most of the time, they were forced to counterattack on the mainland.
The players thought that it was easy to pilot a magical warship, but that was just piloting. It was not a battle.
If they encountered the players who lived on the sea in the Central Islands, they would definitely be beaten to a pulp. Perhaps, even their Epic warships would be captured.
To prevent accidents from happening to these warships and to prevent the players from giving them free rewards, William could only announce the naval battle shop.
He did not even have to think about it.
When he announced the naval battle shop, the captains were hired and brought away.
As for the crew?
Basically, they were all Advanced and Grandmaster crew members. All of them could be hired, but each warship could only hire 100 crew members at most. That was the upper limit.
Anyway, as long as it was a position on a ship, it could be found in the naval battle shop. This was the best way to ensure the safety of the warship.
William had put in a lot of effort. He secretly glanced at the excited players. "Why am I doing this? I'm doing this for my fellow countrymen. If we still lose the national war, I'll feel ashamed for you."
The Chinese players thought that His Royal Highness's actions were common in every faction.
In the end, he bragged on the forum.
Emm. The players from other continents were instantly stunned. What? You have a naval battle shop?
Wait, why don't we have one?
We are not from the coastal areas. It's fine if we go to other camps to buy warships at a high price.
Why don't the coastal camps have a naval battle shop?
What a pity.
In order to hire an NPC captain, they had put in a lot of effort and completed various missions just to satisfy the greedy captains …
We understand now.
We are adopted …
But.
The NPC captains hired by the players from other continents were usually obtained by completing missions and building affinity. As long as they were tricked, the NPC captains would be permanent. They were not like the active navy in the City of Dawn.
However, active navies also had their own benefits. They had more connections, were more powerful, and had more experience. When danger broke out, the Dawn Fleet could come to the rescue. Just these points alone made them incomparable to the old captains.
In particular, the times had changed, Lord.
The old captains had rich experience, but they had not been out to sea for many years. In addition, the continents were constantly pressing down on them. This group of old fellows who did not have new nautical charts might use their experience to capsize some warships.
The naval battle shop in the City of Dawn was comprehensive and extremely rich. As long as the players paid, they could easily ride the waves on the sea and advance forward.
As time passed.
Three days later.
After the various guilds received various missions, they went to explore the resource islands on the map.
These Chinese guilds were very ambitious. They did not want to plunder the resources within 500 nautical miles. Instead, they wanted to plunder the resources within 1,000 nautical miles. In other words, they would take away the resources of other guilds first before slowly plundering the resources closer to them.
The most interesting thing was …
In the waters on both sides of the southeast, there were some large resource islands that the Dawn Fleet had discovered long ago. The City of Dawn had not only started the excavation work, but it could also provide protection for the players' fleets. They could even rest there.
Among them, the most powerful was Stormy Island.
There were more than 800,000 reserve legions of the City of Dawn stationed on Stormy Island. There were also hundreds of thousands of active soldiers, as well as many Epic and Legendary experts.
In other words, they were very powerful!
If the players' fleets provoked enemies and ran to Stormy Island for protection, the enemies would not be able to attack them.
Even though there was a fee …
However, it was also equivalent to the players having a transfer station …
In a naval battle, they had a super advantage. As long as they could escape, they would not have to worry about the fleets being in danger.
As long as the players were not stupid and did not provoke the NPC fleets, they would not have to be afraid!
What?
Was William's help that great?
It was quite good.
It was just a game.
The most important thing was to be happy.
When William saw that his Chinese friends were happy, he was very happy.
After all, he was a sage.
He could do whatever he wanted. Why didn't they attack him?
