Risen has been a Banshee-type Starfighter maintenance worker for three months, and in the past three months, he has learned about the Cardoso space station and the Almeron system, as his company commander Alex said, this is a broken place, the Almeron system has only two planets, orbiting the central HXC-1171 star, both planets are liquid planets, completely unsuitable for human habitation, and there are no minerals worth mining, The reason why the Empire has set up a space station in this worthless place is entirely because of the location of this galaxy: there are three space hops in this galaxy, one of which leads to the border galaxy of Corcoran on the border with the Federation, and the other two jump points JP2 and JP3 lead to other systems in the rear of the Empire.

However, it does not mean that you have to go to the Corcoran system through Almeron, the Corcoran system also has more than one jump point, through other jump points, you can still reach Corcoran from the rear center of the empire, and it is faster and more time-saving than from Almeron, only some frontier star fields far away from the center of the empire to Corcoran will be faster and more economical to go through Almeron, which also determines that compared to other interstellar routes, there will not be too many ships on this interstellar route.

So the Empire's attitude towards Almeron is chicken ribs, tasteless food, and it is a pity to abandon it, so there is only one space station here, not even a starship, and the starfighters stationed in two wings are OK, and their daily task is to conduct routine patrols at three jump points, protect passing ships to the next jump point and identify these ships, but unfortunately, there are very few ships that go through the Almeron system, sometimes there is not even one in a day, Most of the patrol was spent staring at the starry sky, which was so ripe that the pilots were so excited that they seemed to have won some kind of jackpot at the sight of a ship passing through the jump point.

Pirate? To hell with it, if a pirate does appear, it's something you can't ask for. It's no wonder that the people of the space station laughingly call this place the "forgotten corner", Risen gradually understands why the people here don't take the imperial regulations and military discipline seriously, staying in this ghost place itself is already very empty, lonely and boring, and you have to behave all day long, sooner or later you have to go crazy. Besides, no matter how good you are, who are you going to show it to? And who cares?

Risen was a quick learner, and in just three months, Risen began to become as lazy, untidy, and unkempt as his company commander Alex, and now his life has become quite regular, every morning in the ground crew leader Jack Brown. Russell led the team and other colleagues to prepare for the departure patrol of the Banshee-type starfighters, once these fighters flew out, their business was over, the sergeant would usually go to the training center to move his hands and feet, and Risen immediately turned around and went back to his cabin to catch up on sleep, a patrol trip would take at least four or five hours, this time was enough for him to sleep well, and when these starfighters returned from patrol, they would inspect and maintain the goblins returning to the nest, and the day's work would be over, The rest of the matter is nothing more than drinking bad wine with his colleagues, playing cards, playing flying markers, messing around for a while, or going to the training center to play with energy guns to test whether his shooting skills have regressed, Risen was a good shooter when he was trained at the Lodesian Barracks, he had a pair of sharp eyes worthy of his pride, perfect muscle control and coordination of all parts of his body, even Sergeant Boeira, who was strict and fastidious, had nothing to say about his ability to shoot accurately with a firearm, In addition, there is nothing to do here to play with the energy gun every day, and it is difficult for Ressen's shooting skills to improve, so it is obvious that the logistics soldiers here are not his opponents, and there are more and more people who lose the gambling game and have to pay for a treat.

Invisibly, the people of the space station gradually knew that there was a recruit with good marksmanship, or a logistics soldier, Rise's reputation quietly spread, many people were deceived by the appearance of his logistics soldier, and did not believe that he would be able to get a mechanic company if he had a good marksmanship, no one thought that he came voluntarily, and as a result, these people finally had to pay for a treat out of their pockets like everyone else.

Ah, this kind of leisurely life is actually not bad, Ruisen thought, although it is relatively remote, but it is also a good choice to be able to hang around here peacefully until the end of the service period and retire.

It's a pity that the development of things does not depend on Risson's will, just like the flapping wings of a butterfly, a small inadvertent thing quietly disrupted the track that Risen set for himself.

"Haha, Sergeant, you lost again, lost to Risson, let's go back to the club, Sergeant is in for a treat." A group of people shouted loudly and coaxed for fear that the sky would not be chaotic.

"Damn, hell, this kid is really evil." Jack. Russell threw the gun hard in anger, he couldn't figure out how the person who touched the gun every day could lose to this recruit, Resson. In fact, it has been a year since Risen joined the army, and he is not a recruit, but in the eyes of the sergeant, as long as there are no newcomers here, Risen will always be a recruit, and since others know that Risen is a newcomer with good marksmanship, the sergeant found Risen out of curiosity, and at first the sergeant triumphantly beat Risen to the point that he couldn't find the north, thinking that it was nothing more than that, but after Risen trained hard for a month, the sergeant paid more and more out of his pocket.

However, before they could go out to the club, they were blocked by a group of people at the door, and Risen knew at a glance that it was going to break, because the group were all dressed in black uniforms, and they were all officers of the Imperial Army.

"Which of you is Risson. Nigaul? A young man in his twenties who was walking in front asked, and Risen looked at the military street, Captain, much taller than him, a private of the first class.

From the first day he came to Cardoso, Risen received a warning from Company Commander Alex to stay away from the guys in black uniforms, and Ryson has been careful to avoid conflicts with these guys, although he has been on the Cardoso space station for three months, he has only dealt with the officers of the 17,19 Banshee Starfighter Squadron that he is responsible for maintaining, for Ryson, these people in black uniforms are completely different people, people from another circle, and the less their life trajectories cross with themselves, the betterThe officers of the 17th and 19th squadrons were also satisfied with the respectful and respectful attitude that Risen maintained in front of them, so these people did not bother him, perhaps they did not bother to trouble him, after all, their Banshee fighters were maintained by Risen and other ground crews, and these people did not want to be manipulated by resentful ground crews on their landlines.

But these people in front of him are different, Risen doesn't know any of them, it's obvious that they are not from the 17th and 19th squadrons, they are people from other squadrons, Risen is generally respectful of these people in black who don't know, but today I'm afraid I can't hide, these people will be named as soon as they come up, it will definitely not be a good thing, Risen never thinks that they are here to invite him to drink.

Risen wanted to deny it, but seeing that the eyes of the group of colleagues around him, including the sergeant, were all focused on him, he could only step forward and say, "I'm, sir, is there anything I can do for you?" ”

The captain looked Risen up and down, and looked him a little hairy. Sergeant Russell hurriedly came up a little nervously and said, "Captain Vincennes, this is .....", the sergeant is an old man here, so he naturally recognizes the captain.

"Don't be nervous, Jack, I'm not going to eat him again." Captain Vincennes turned his gaze back to Risson, "I'm Squadron Leader Carl Brown of the 21st Squadron. Captain Vincennes, I heard you have good marksmanship, how is it? Do you want to compete with me in the last round? ”

"Uh......" I didn't expect it to be like this, Risen was surprised, few officers took the initiative to challenge the soldiers, Risen felt a little embarrassed, he was not familiar with the captain, he was afraid of offending people if he won, he swept the face of the captain of the squadron, and he was unwilling to lose, so he still refused politely, "This ...... Sir, I don't need this, how can my shooting skills be comparable to yours? ”

"Hmph, how do you know? Today you have to compare, and if you don't, you have to compare, this is an order. The captain couldn't help but say something.

Isn't it, Risen almost fainted, and this is still an order? It seems that it can't be pushed off today, Ruisen nodded helplessly, "Understood, sir", Ruisen made up his mind in his heart, if he can't escape, he can't win today anyway, if necessary, let go of the water, if he is not reconciled, he will not be reconciled, it is better than offending people.

"Defeat the Captain......

"No ...... water discharge"

"Boy, we're betting on you, and if you lose, we won't let you go......"

Looking at the crowd of heckling and gloating behind the captain, Risen understood why the captain had to compete with himself, it turned out that this group of guys was instigated and provoked behind him, and they were probably eager to watch the captain make a fool of himself now. Ruilin secretly heaved twice in his heart, it seems that he is going to disappoint you.

"Listen up, Rissen. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, Nigaul, I want a fair victory, and if you dare to let it go, I can guarantee that your life in Cardoso will be miserable in the future, and you will regret why you came here instead of Heidelberg. The captain said proudly.

Risen almost choked to death without taking a breath, damn, he really knows how to compare, he shouldn't have known that I came out of Heidelberg.

The captain softened his tone, "In order to encourage you to play well, I have decided to give you a little sweetness, if you are lucky enough to run into me accidentally missed, then congratulations, if you have any requests, within my authority, I will try my best to meet your requests." What do you think? ”

Ruisson couldn't help but want to laugh, what could he ask for in this broken place, how much authority does a little captain, even if he is the squadron leader of a banshee-style starfighter? And you can't transfer yourself away from the Cardoso station.

"Then I want to fly a banshee-style starfighter, okay?" Risen said casually.

"This ....." The captain showed an embarrassed look on his face, not to mention that the empire has strict management of starfighters, even if the regulations can be ignored here, Risen has not undergone any starfighter flight training at all, let him fly a banshee-type starfighter, whether he can fly is a problem, even if he can fly out of the space station, maybe he didn't fly far before he hit a big meteorite and whined.

"So be it." The captain thought for a moment, "You haven't had any flight training at all, so it's unlikely that you'll be allowed to drive a banshee, but if you're lucky enough to run into me, then I can use the banshee to take you around the Almeron galaxy for a few laps, a ride, and a beautiful view of this galaxy, how about it?" ”

"Deal." Risen happily agreed to this request, he has been in Almeron for three months, all spent time on the space station, can actually sit on a real interstellar fighter, go to the galaxy to get close to the scenery outside, be a free traveler, is also a good choice, at least much better than drinking in a club.
