(There were a few hundred words missing from yesterday's update at the end of the previous chapter, you can go back and check it.)
"In addition, because of this battle, the total value of the battlefield supplies we invested exceeded 30 trillion Star Coins."
If it weren't for the raw materials obtained from the previous military procurement orders, we could have prepared more war supplies.
"We've been facing logistical problems for a long time," Lilith reminded her.
Zhao Chen sighed. It's never enough, never enough.
This is the weakness that the JF-17 Thunder Legion has always had.
But there's nothing we can do about it; that's just how the JF-17 Legion's tactics are.
"But this time the results were also very fruitful."
The number of interstellar warships of the Machine Race and the Demon Race that we directly destroyed totaled more than two million.
In addition, there are more than 200,000 interstellar warships belonging to the King of Judgment Angels.
Although we did not kill the Queen of Judgment Angels in this battle, thus sparing her life, we inflicted significant losses on her military forces.
"That's equivalent to us achieving a 20 to 1 kill ratio," Lilith said with some pride.
Zhao Chen nodded: "This is a great achievement."
Since the demon race is unlikely to launch a large-scale invasion in the short term.
We can arrange for part of the Dragon Legion to return to the Dragon System for rest and reorganization, and then hold a victory celebration.
Balancing work and rest is very important.
Everyone has been under a lot of pressure lately and needs some time to relax.
"By the way, what happened to the stargate that was destroyed in the Angelic territory?"
"When can it be repaired?" Zhao Chen asked.
That stargate is related to the communication between the Dragonflight and the Angel race.
"After we recaptured that stargate, we started working overtime to repair it."
According to our survey at the time, although many core modules of the stargate were destroyed, the external frame could still be used after repair.
Therefore, we only need to replace the parts of those core modules, and we can basically continue to use it.
"It should be about three to five days before we can resume operations," Lilith said.
This is undoubtedly very good news.
"We need to strengthen our ties with the Angels."
I suggest that we build several more stargates in the future.
Not only in that place, but also in various locations in the territories currently controlled by the Angels, such as building one at the front-line battlefield.
"Then our interstellar warships can be directly deployed to the front lines," Zhao Chen said.
"Will the two angel kings agree?" Lilith asked hesitantly.
Building one stargate would have been fine in the first place. But now they want to build more?
Zhao Chen's lips curled up slightly, and then he said, "They wouldn't have agreed before, but now, do they have a choice?"
Upon hearing the commander's question, Lilith fell silent.
Indeed, the angel race of today is not the same as the angel race of the past.
"The end of the year is just a few days away, so let's take stock of our current production capacity and industrial situation."
Then we can formulate a development plan for the coming year.
"This coming year will be extremely important for us, for the Angel race, and even for this universe." Zhao Chen's gaze was profound.
It was as if we could already see the future of this universe.
Lilith nodded: "I will complete the statistics in this area as soon as possible."
Afterwards, the two discussed some other matters.
"Then, Commander, please rest. I'll take my leave." Lilith turned to leave.
But the next second, Zhao Chen dragged her onto the bed.
“Commander...you...” Lilith looked at the commander who was pressing down on her, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"Since you've come all this way, let me give you a massage."
"You've worked hard these past few days, consider this a special reward from the Commander." Zhao Chen looked down at Lilith lying on the massage bed. Logically speaking, as a succubus, she should be bold.
When it comes to this part, Lilith is always shy and reserved at first.
Only after she gets into the swing of things will she truly let loose.
Lilith wanted to refuse, but having already been given a handle by the commander, she lost the strength to speak and was defeated.
A few minutes later, slightly out of breath, Lilith glanced at the mechanical maid who had been standing beside her and couldn't help but say, "Take it off."
Standing there, I felt like someone was watching me.
Zhao Chen turned his head to look at the mechanical maid. Because it was made to look so much like a human, it did indeed give that impression.
"Shut down," Zhao Chen commanded directly.
The mechanical maid paused for a moment, then slowly lowered herself down.
A drawer-like compartment appeared under the bed, and the mechanical maid lay flat on it, her eyes dim, as if she had been turned off, before being put back into the bed.
Zhao Chen:...
Lilith:...
Zhao Chen: "What kind of rubbish is this design? Deduct Annie's salary!"

T5 Diamond Eden-class Starship - First Ship: Resort Area
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, accompanied by countless stars, and the gentle evening breeze brings a sense of tranquility and peace.
In addition, the natural hot springs soothe the body, seemingly releasing all the stress that has been building up.
"That feels so good~"
"That feels so good~"
"That feels so good~"
The three women muttered in unison.
Three women, dressed in swimsuits, lay in a natural hot spring, with only one head resting on the shore.
Xue Xiaoxiao, Zhao Wan'er, and Annie closed their eyes, enjoying the physical comfort.
Compared to the carefree atmosphere of the three people here.
On the other side of the pavilion, Charlotte, Akame, Shirayuki, Medusa, and Pei Shengnan were drinking.
At first, everyone drank quietly.
But soon someone shouted out, and the wine tasting quickly turned into a drinking contest.
"You humans are no good at drinking. Watch me down a whole bottle in one go!" The snake woman, Qingman, shook the empty bottle in her hand, her face slightly flushed.
Wei Shishi, who came from a royal guard background, naturally had her own arrogance. She picked up the wine jar next to her and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing, she looked at the other person provocatively.
It's as if to say, "That's all there is to it."
Soon, both of them were quite drunk.
"Hiccup... Who are you calling no good?"
"I'm only at three points!" Wei Shishi swayed as she pointed at the snake woman Qingman.
The snake woman, Qingman, squinted her eyes and said, "I...I've only just begun."
"Tch, what are you guys calling these drinks?"
"If you're going to drink, then mix them all together!" The wolf girl, Snow White, was even more ruthless. She found a wine barrel as tall as a person from somewhere and poured all kinds of wine into it in one pot.
Then, the wolf girl, Snow White, plunged headfirst into the wine barrel.
Half a minute...
One minute...
The wolf girl Bai Yue walked over somewhat shyly, and then took out the wolf girl Bai Xue, who was already asleep and whose whole body was flushed, from the wine barrel.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, my sister can't drink any alcohol at all."
"You can continue." The wolf girl Bai Yue apologized repeatedly, then left with her sister.
The snake woman Qingman and Wei Shishi continued their drinking contest.
"Qingman... hiccup...do you dare...drink my wine!"
"There's no wine in this universe that I, Miss Qingman, dare not drink! Tell me! What wine is it!"
"realgar!"
