Lilith was on the bridge, constantly monitoring the changes on the battlefield.
Although Charlotte is the instructor in charge of battlefield command, Xiaolongnu also has the right to assist.
However, as the Supreme Secretary of the Dragon Legion, Lilith also has the authority to supervise and should she discover anything amiss.
She has the right to inform Zhao Chen directly.
Although Zhao Chen never interfered with Charlotte's command authority, when necessary, Zhao Chen's orders were paramount!

Just then, Lilith heard the sound of military boots hitting the ground behind her.
Lilith knew who it was without even turning around.
Because here, only his footsteps are truly unique.
But unlike when he left, his footsteps were noticeably heavier.
“Commander.” Lilith turned her head and saw Zhao Chen walking up to her side.
Zhao Chen looked at the interstellar war sandbox in front of him: "How is the battle going?"
"The battle situation is basically the same as before."
The demon reinforcements are still on their way, and the situation on the various local ambush battlefields is pretty much the same as before.
General Charlotte's response was to proceed according to the original plan.
However, Ye Xiaotong's Eighth Legion was required to end the battle as soon as possible and then support other battlefields.
At the same time, a battlefield report was submitted, stating that within three hours, another Dragon Legion would be drawn from our side of the battlefield to support the enemy's Demon Race Legion's reinforcement fleet!
The "us" they were referring to were, of course, the five Wyvern Legions on the Mechanicus Galaxy battlefield!
"What's the situation on the battlefield of the Mechanicus Galaxy?" Zhao Chen asked.
It has basically entered the final stage.
Less than 100,000 Mech Starships remained, putting up a desperate resistance.
But it's too late to turn the tide of the war without external intervention. Lilith's final addition made the meaning quite clear.
Unless the demon army fleet arrives here, the outcome of the battle here is basically a foregone conclusion.
"What are the casualties among our five JF-17 Legion units?"
"After several battles with the Mechanicus fleet, the five Dragon Legions suffered casualties of around 20%, with a total loss of nearly 30,000 interstellar warships."
However, the overall combat capability of each of the Falcon Dragon Legion units remains.
Which legion's fleet is in the best combat condition?
"That would of course be the First Legion of the Falcon Dragon! In fact, General Charlotte's intention was also for the First Legion of the Falcon Dragon, which he was in charge of, to carry out this support mission."
But she still asked for your opinion.
Zhao Chen's lips curled up slightly. Charlotte had always been like this. Every time, he had said that Charlotte could carry out any order without his permission when she was on the battlefield.
But most of the time, she would still go through this process and ask Zhao Chen for his opinion.
"Approve Charlotte's plan."
At the same time, she was asked to select one of the remaining four Dragon Legion units to carry out this mission with her.
In our territory, dealing with 100,000 Mech Race interstellar warships wouldn't require that many Falcon Dragon Legion fleets.
Three Falcon Legions are enough.
"If it weren't for the need to preserve the technological information within those mechanical planets as much as possible, or even if the two Falcon Dragon Legions launched a direct artillery barrage, they could have taken them all down!" Zhao Chen said calmly.
Simply destroying a legion fleet or a planetary force is far easier than conquering and controlling a planet or a star system.
After all, the latter aims to preserve certain things within this scope as much as possible.
This is why, when faced with a mere 200,000 Mech Race interstellar warships, Zhao Chen first deployed five Dragon Legions, totaling nearly 150,000 interstellar warships.
Now the situation here has basically stabilized.
Without having to worry so much, more troops can be redeployed to support other, more important battlefields.
"Commander, did something happen just now?" After giving her orders, Lilith couldn't help but ask Zhao Chen with concern.
If she were just a secretary, she wouldn't ask on her own initiative.
But she has another identity, and her concern for Zhao Chen is something she simply cannot control.
Zhao Chen's gaze was complicated. He said in a deep voice, "Things are a bit complicated. We'll wait until this war is over."
Let's discuss this in more detail.
"And in this war, we...cannot afford to lose!"
After hearing these words, Lilith did not ask any further questions.
However, she could roughly guess that what the commander was saying, as well as his current emotional changes, were most likely related to the incomplete data he had obtained from the holy land of the Cult of Machines.
During this period of absence, the commander was probably trying to contact the supreme leader of the machine race.
They must have learned something incredible.
On the other side, Charlotte quickly received Zhao Chen's order to grant permission.
Charlotte immediately ordered her First Legion of the Falcon Thunder to withdraw from the current battlefield, while instructing the logistics supply fleet behind to immediately resupply and perform simple repairs on the First Legion's fleet.
"Remember, any starships that are too badly damaged should temporarily leave the fleet and stay here to fight alongside other legion fleets," Charlotte added.
Compared to dealing with these remnants of the Mechanicus here, the battlefield on the other side was far more brutal.
The First Legion of the Falcon Thunder was already under heavy load from continuous battles. If it were to bring along some interstellar warships in poor condition, it would undoubtedly increase the casualty rate.
"Yes." The subordinate immediately went to carry it out.
Charlotte is now reviewing the situation of the other four legion fleets.
As a legion commander, I originally did not have the authority to view other legion fleets.
But Charlotte is still the highest-ranking commander under Commander Zhao Chen of the Dragon Legion!
She has that authority.
She quickly made her choice among the four Dragon Legions.
At the same time, a communication request was sent.
Su Lan's video window appeared on the other end.
"General Charlotte, what brings you to me?" Su Lan asked.
"On the other side of the ambush battlefield, a number of demon legion reinforcements are about to arrive."
They'll be under a lot of pressure.
Therefore, we need to provide support.
The commander ordered you and me to lead the First and Fourth Legions of the JF-17 Thunder to carry out this mission.
Your Fourth Falcon Legion is now withdrawing from the battlefield, and the combat mission will be handed over to other Falcon Legion fleets.
"Make sure you have three hours to rest and prepare. We'll be setting off in three hours!" Charlotte said.
A hint of surprise flashed in Su Lan's eyes, but years of combat experience had already prepared her mentally, and she immediately said, "Understood."
Then we can see that in the battle with the Mechanicus fleet, the Dragon Legion withdrew more than a third of its interstellar warships.
This gave the Mechanic Cult's mechanized fleet a chance to catch its breath.
