Under normal circumstances, even if the commander goes to the front line, there will be someone in the command center capable of acting as a temporary overall commander.
Usually, this is done according to the rank hierarchy.
For instance, if Cheng Wen leaves, then Kong Ji and Bearded would take over based on their rank.
However, the situation with the Western Kingdom is somewhat special right now.
The overall commander went personally to constrain Cheng Wen, and the third-ranking official is confronting Kong Ji, while the second and fourth ranking figures have gone south to deal with the Polar Alliance's northern advance.
The fifth-ranking official, named Hopkins, is leading his elites against the experts of Dragon Country's 01 sequence.
So, the proxy commander here is actually the sixth-ranking person.
He is not even part of the core command layer and has limited power in the main camp, primarily to oversee communication and logistical channels.
