Regarding the deployment and mobilization of the Holy Radiant Empire's expeditionary fleet and the Warhammer Alliance, Zhao Chen chose to observe the situation and wait and see.

Zhao Chen sat in the captain's chair with his eyes closed, resting.

Beside him, Hu Xin'er, who was temporarily serving as one of the secretaries, looked at the man in surprise. At this point, a great battle was imminent.

Furthermore, given the apparent disadvantage of the Falcon Legion, it's truly perplexing that this man could remain so calm and composed.

In fact, Zhao Chen wasn't resting with his eyes closed; he was examining something else.

It's already mid-September, and there are only two weeks left until the end of the month.

This means that the quarter is coming to an end.

Keep in mind that Zhao Chen still has quarterly tasks to complete.

【Quarterly Tasks】

Mission objective: Please select to annihilate or subjugate the twenty major tribes of the Warhammer Starfleet Union.

Complete ten to receive the basic reward.

Complete all thirteen to receive a bronze treasure chest.

Complete all sixteen to receive a silver treasure chest.

Complete twenty to receive a golden treasure chest.

Current progress: six】

This quarterly task is four short of the minimum requirement.

However, considering the upcoming battles, completing four shouldn't be too difficult.

In addition to the quarterly tasks, there is also an annual task.

With only three months left until the end of the year, the completion of annual tasks is crucial.

The rewards for annual tasks are much greater than those for quarterly tasks!

【Annual Tasks】

Task 1: Qin Ming's Death (Completed)

Mission Two: Control at least four star systems of the Starry Empire. (Completed)

Mission 3: Control four star systems of the Warhammer Starfleet Union. Progress: Black Tiger Star System

The criteria for this judgment are somewhat vague. So far, Zhao Chen has only completely controlled the Black Tiger Starfield. As for the other Warhammer Starfields, he has infiltrated them to some extent, but not as thoroughly as he has controlled the Black Tiger Starfield.

It seems we need to take this step as soon as possible in the upcoming battles.

After reviewing the two system tasks, Zhao Chen didn't forget the most important task for him right now.

T5 Mall launches a mission.

【T5 Mall Opening Task (Completion 40%)】

Next, please make your selections according to the task prompts. After making your selections, you will receive the corresponding task completion percentage. When the task completion percentage reaches 100%, you will be able to unlock the T5 system shop.

The following options can be used to complete multiple tasks, with a time limit of six months.

Option 1: Conquer the Siren Queen of the Siren Tribe to achieve 10% completion. Incomplete.

Option 2: Conquer the Harpy Queen of the Harpy tribe to achieve 10% completion. Completed!

Option 3: Conquer the Spider Queen of the Spider Queen tribe to achieve 10% completion. Completed!

Option 4: Conquer the Fox Queen of the Fox-People tribe to achieve 20% completion. 【Incomplete】

The newly refreshed T5 Mall tasks have four options, and they can be completed repeatedly.

So far, Zhao Chen's completion rate is only 40%.

However, Zhao Chen believed that obtaining the remaining 30% completion rate for options one and four was only a matter of time.

Queen Su Yaya of the Fox Clan has secretly chosen to side with Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen does not believe that a promise or a contract can make someone bring her family's power to him obediently.

Even when your situation is unfavorable on the surface.

When Zhao Chen last saw Su Yaya, the fox queen, her charm level was only 95%, and it was difficult to improve it further.

Zhao Chen guessed that it would take until the winner of the current battle was decided before the outcome of the battle could be determined.

A cunning little fox.

As for the mermaid chieftain of the siren tribe, she probably had the same idea. Although she was persuaded by her best friend, the harpy Avina, she still had some concerns because she hadn't seen it with her own eyes or experienced it firsthand.

But all of this depends on the Falcon Legion winning this battle.

Then there are no problems at all.

A few hours later.

The first battle report came back from the front lines.

"Latest news from the front lines: multiple expeditionary fleets of the Holy Radiant Empire and the Warhammer Alliance have appeared on the border of the Black Tiger Starfield." Fox Xin'er looked at Zhao Chen, who was sitting in the captain's chair, and Charlotte, who was standing in front of the interstellar war sand table, paying close attention to the actual situation on the battlefield.

Zhao Chen didn't say anything; he had already delegated authority to Charlotte.

This is Charlotte's battle.

It is a war belonging to the Warhammer universe, a new order.

Charlotte glanced at the enemy fleet cursors approaching the Black Tiger Starfield and said calmly, "Let the Dragon Tiger Legion and Beast Legion, who are responsible for patrolling the front lines, only make slight contact with the enemy."

Conduct localized armed engagements only when your own safety is ensured; after engagement, avoid prolonged fighting and gradually relinquish these frontline positions.

Upon hearing Charlotte's order.

Fox Xin'er looked at Charlotte in surprise: "Are we going to abandon the front-line positions?"

She had previously seen that Charlotte had mentioned the Dragon Tiger Legion and the Hundred Beasts Alliance, but was unaware of the front-line positions.

They thought a war was about to break out there.

But to everyone's surprise, Charlotte ordered a retreat after firing just one shot.

This would mean giving up a large portion of the advantageous Black Tiger star system.

"Execute my orders." Charlotte looked at Hu Xin'er with icy eyes.

That look made Hu Xin'er tremble; it was completely different from the approachable and unpretentious General Charlotte she knew.

"Yes..." Hu Xin'er hurriedly went to convey the order.

At this moment, Chief Foxya quietly pulled his daughter aside and whispered in her ear, "Pay attention to what time it is now."

In the past, General Charlotte might have been approachable and treated you like a friend.

But now, she is the supreme commander of this campaign, and you are her secretary. Unless there are special circumstances, do not speak out of turn. Executing the supreme commander's orders is your responsibility.

Fox Xin'er nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Chief Huya looked at his daughter. She had talent, but lacked experience.

Hopefully, following General Charlotte will allow her to gain some experience.

All I could do was offer her some reminders.

At this moment, Chief Huya walked up to Commander Zhao Chen.

Because Secretary Lilith had gone to the Moon-class Stargate, mainly responsible for ensuring the logistical support of the Dragon Legion and the transportation missions between the two locations, she requested permission to go to the most important place.

As for the command of the army, she could rest assured that it was in General Charlotte's hands.

As for the lack of personnel around the commander, Chief Huya will continue to serve as Commander Zhao Chen's secretary temporarily.

"Chief Fox, are you also wondering why Charlotte chose to avoid the battle?" Zhao Chen smiled and looked at Chief Fox beside him, taking the initiative to start a conversation. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Seeing that the commander had taken the initiative to ask a question, Chief Fox Ya then shared her thoughts: "Is General Charlotte trying to feign weakness and then look for a suitable opportunity to strike?"
