Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

At this time, in the task interface, the progress of this war has reached 59:41, and the war situation has become basically clear.

While the Church of Poseidon still held an absolute advantage on the sea, on land, the players had already begun steadily advancing, gradually pushing back. Zhou Ning's task now was to lead the players in expanding their advantage, perhaps even counterattacking the Northern Pirate Kingdom and ending the war once and for all.

At this point, almost every player died about 10 times, but except for a few unlucky ones who died too many times, almost everyone made a profit.

"Now those pirates are basically gathered in the wealth zone. We have captured a northern pirate and interrogated him before. Their goal is to capture the Palace of Revendreth in the center of the wealth zone. For this purpose, they even summoned a large number of giant sea beasts. Alex's side suffered heavy losses." Seizing this opportunity, Shuidi Chenxing chattered to Zhou Ning about the current battle situation.

"Well done," Zhou Ning nodded approvingly and praised. The players hadn't let him down. Without him intervening too much, they had already secured victory on their own.

However, Zhou Ning vaguely felt that things might not be that simple, because so far, the Knowledge Parliament, or the Life Alchemy Association, did not seem to have made any effort.

He glanced at the players around him and felt that he needed to take this opportunity to say something. Based on past experience, this was the best occasion to boost morale and enhance players' sense of belonging.

Zhou Ning looked quite serious and said in a low voice:

"I've seen your hard work. From ordinary people to now being on par with demigods, you've put in countless efforts. I'm proud of you. But now is not the time to rest. This war is not just a clash between the two major factions of the Revendreth Sea Kingdom and the Northern Pirate Kingdom. There are also the shadows of certain gods behind the scenes."

"They are still weaving their conspiracies. In order to achieve so-called godhood, they are willing to sacrifice countless lives and use mortals as pawns for some selfish purposes."

"Although I'm not a saint, neither are you. Everyone in the Starry Sky Church, listen carefully. I hope you can remain respectful when facing the gods, but don't bend your backs. You must have the courage to say no to the gods."

"Now everyone follow me and end this war in one fell swoop."

"Even if God comes today, he can't stop us. This is my promise."

In the XB live broadcast room, barrages of comments were flying, and most of the netizens who were unable to participate in the main mission were excited. Even though they were separated by a screen, they felt that the protagonist's voice was full of infectiousness. Although joining the Starry Sky Church was expensive, it was really great to be able to fight side by side with the protagonist.

“When facing the gods, you can remain respectful, but don’t bend your back. You must have the courage to say no to the gods.”

"Even if God comes today, he can't stop us!"

If someone else had said this, it wouldn't have been as contagious. But Zhou Ning's words were incredibly convincing, as he had just scared off the thunder god Malses without even making a move.

At this time, a prompt popped up on everyone's task panel:

[Your mission: Close Combat has been completed. You have gained 220 million experience points and Wayne Stewell's favorability is 10.]

[You have triggered the follow-up mission: Follow Wayne Stewell to end this war.]

Zhou Ning had issued this close combat mission not only to the few heroes who opened the gate, but also to all players. The only difference was the rewards. Having just received a generous reward, the players were now even more excited by the passionate atmosphere, eager to take on the challenge. It felt like following a leader and personally participating in a war, ready to sacrifice their lives.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost mobilized, Zhou Ning smiled and took the lead in crossing the bridge and heading towards the depths of the wisdom zone.

The fighting in this area became more intense. Northern pirates could be seen in almost every street and alley. Among the enemies were spellcasters who were good at alchemy, magic and curses, and even some animals and giant sea beasts with extraordinary powers.

The resistance forces of the Kingdom of Revendreth have basically retreated to this area, and a large number of military and police officers wearing dark green uniforms are using various weapons to resist.

What caught Zhou Ning's attention was that the Kingdom of Revendreth was not lacking in armaments. Roughly one-third of its transcendents possessed alchemical armor. This was partly due to the city's unique knowledge base, which boasted a vast number of alchemists and low labor costs. This was also one of the reasons for the stalemate between the two warring parties.

Another part of the reason was that Yanran Weiler and Alex brought the other half of the players from the bridge of the wisdom zone into the wealth zone, helping the Kingdom of Revendreth resist the first wave of pressure.

On the main street, Yan Ran stood at the front without retreating a single step. In front of him was a massive Lavidus. This was a sea beast raised by the northerners, a typical amphibious monster. The larger it was, the stronger it was.

Richie Burke, following Yanran Weiler, felt a wave of bewilderment. Wasn't he here on business? How had he suddenly come face to face with his former employer, the Northern Pirates? These Chosen Ones were growing at a breakneck pace. Just now, he had witnessed more than one pirate demigod fall to their hands.

Those are all candidates for pirate generals!

Looking at the gigantic sea monster in front of him, which was almost eighty meters tall, Yan Ranweiluo tightly grasped the Snow Drinking Mad Blade in his hand and charged directly, shouting with high fighting spirit:

"Heaven is on the left, warriors are on the right—"

"Come at me!"

"Ahhh! Charge, charge, charge!"

Watching the Chosen Ones charging forward passionately, watching the Chosen One named "Yanran Wei Le" charging skillfully, attacking with Xunfeng, releasing souls, and running corpses, Richie Burke inexplicably felt ignited. He silently took a step back, took out a flintlock from his arms, and attacked Lavidus in front of him, while protecting the formation of the Chosen Ones.

As an adventurer, he knew the importance of formation.

Before long, the Lavidus was slain by the adventurers, along with the demigod-level pirate who had been controlling it. Rich Burke coughed dryly and planned to clean up the scene, but in a matter of seconds, the demigod-level pirate had been thoroughly ransacked, even his underwear inspected for any extraordinary items. The Lavidus had even been skinned.

This... Seeing this scene, Richie Burke felt a sense of sympathy. These chosen ones seemed even more greedy than the Northern Pirates. Even an old pirate like himself pales in comparison. Fortunately, there was Wayne Stewell's restraint...

On the other hand, at this time, Zhou Ning did not deliberately take action, but gave the opportunity to the players to perform. Occasionally, he used divine shock to intimidate a group of pirates to let the players take advantage of the opportunity, while he himself silently sensed the surroundings and paid attention to any unusual situations.

In this area, Zhou Ning felt many powerful and complex auras, which became stronger the further he went in. It seemed that what the players said was correct. The Northern Pirate Kingdom had indeed placed its main attack direction here.

Players have piecework tasks to kill or capture Northern pirates and animals alive, and at this time they are like wild horses that have broken free from their reins, sweeping through everything around them.
