In the bitterly cold of space, an attacking fast battleship threw down the completely paralyzed Imperial transport, and instead focused its fire on the only remaining Imperial cruiser, countless long beams of energy fired from dozens of turrets of all sizes on its hull, forming a devastating colored storm. In the vicinity of this Imperial cruiser, the wreckage of a destroyed Imperial escort destroyer was still burning and exploding, debris and various chemical gases were constantly gushing out from the inside of the ship, and more than a dozen attacking Banshee fighters joined the attack on the Imperial Cruiser after clearing the Banshee escort fighters of that Imperial cruiser, and others covered six attacking assault ships surrounding the paralyzed transport ship.

A cruiser can't go head-to-head with a fast battleship, even if it adds a destroyer, whether it's in firepower or in terms of shield strength, the number of carriers, fast battleships have an overwhelming advantage, and even in speed, the characteristics of this type of ship can be seen from the word fast, although it is slower than the fastest speed of the cruiser, but it is better than the cruiser to maintain a high-speed state for a longer time. Moreover, the wide hull size of this type of ship allows it to become an interstellar fighter wing, a total of thirty-six interstellar fighters to take off and land, generally composed of two Banshee fighter squadrons and one dagger attack aircraft squadron, is one of the most powerful main battle ships in the Imperial ship sequence. Unexpectedly, the flood washed the Dragon King Temple, and today my family started to fight my own family, which has to be said to be an irony.

Inside the transport ship.

The deathly silence was unsettling compared to before, the sound of the booming engines, the chirping of the small laser defense turret firing that they had been accustomed to heard, was now gone, not even the messy and panicked footsteps in the aisle before, replaced by the clatter, the clatter, the clatter of a cat scratching the door with its paws by the door, the hull of the ship shook imperceptibly and gently, as if something had come into contact with the transport.

"Someone... Preparing for... Break in. Risen listened carefully to the voice and whispered to Schneyer. A glimmer of possible hope lifted his spirits, and it seemed that his whole body had gradually recovered a lot, and he forced himself to sit up, leaning against the edge of the bed, panting slightly.

As if confirming his words, a slight explosion sound was heard from several directions of the ship, several hatches of the transport ship were shrouded in the flash of an explosion, and debris flew from the various walkways leading to the hatches, and the attackers managed to blast open the hatches, and they soon encountered the Imperial Guards on the transport ship, and the intertwined flashing red and green energy beams flew between the walls and the ground, some tore a long large crack in the metal surface, and some directly hit the human body, Black marks burned on the fragile flesh, the ship's interior was blown to pieces, the passage filled the passage, and the shrill screams of wounded or mortal humans echoed above the debris.

The initial weak resistance was quickly crushed, and the attackers had been carefully prepared and built up for a long time, and the troops were all elite personnel, and on the other hand, although there were some guards on this transport ship, they were obviously not equipped to defend against such a strong attack and boarding battle. After the attackers had cleared and consolidated the departure area near the hatch, more armed men entered the transport ship through the hatch from inside the assault ship, and with the support of some heavy weapons brought in, they began to occupy the key areas and sectors of the ship one by one, and it was only a matter of time before the transport ship was completely captured.

The sound of messy footsteps reached the ears of Risen and Schneier again, and they heard panicked voices coming from outside.

"Sir, they are approaching from all directions, there are too many of them, and our men can't stop them for a few minutes. What to do? Sir? ”

"Sir..... What about your orders? Sir, please make up your mind. Another voice asked urgently.

"OK, don't care about those traitors anymore, their purpose is to save those prisoners, kill all the prisoners, I want to let them go home empty-handed, what we can't get, we must not let those traitors get." A somewhat hysterical voice roared.

"But sir, many of those prisoners are women and children, and they must be ......"

"Don't leave one, this is an order, hurry up, there's no time."

"Yes, sir."

Risen and Schneier looked at each other, daring to love that there were not only two prisoners on this ship, listening to the tone of those people outside, this surprise attack should have been carefully planned to rescue those prisoners who were on the same boat with them, it seemed that the number of prisoners was quite a lot, and it was much more important than the two of them, the two of them were just incidentals. Come to think of it, neither of them has any background or background, and they have never crossed paths with any imperial rebels, so others naturally won't come specifically for them, but they may be able to benefit from it. But how can there be women and children among the rebels? Could it be their families?

"How... What to do? Rissen. Schneier asked in a whisper, as if he was afraid that if his voice was too loud, he would be heard rushing in and killing both of them first.

"Pray......" Risen shook his head, kind of an answer to his friend. With the current state of the two of them, they can't even stand up, what else can they do? Any Imperial soldier with a gun can easily take them out one by one.

"It's fine." His friend closed his eyes and waited silently for what was to come.

Both of them have accepted their fate, anyway, they had already prepared for death, and now they are just returning to the original point, so they are relatively more open, since they can't do anything now, let's wait quietly for God's verdict.

The door to the cell opened, and an Imperial soldier barged in with an energy gun in his hand, and Resson glanced at Schneier with a wry smile, it seemed that their luck seemed to be terrible.

The soldier raised his energy rifle without mercy, and he began to aim at the two prisoners lying on the bed and on the ground, holding down the fingers of the plate machine and starting to exert force, ready to end the lives of the two poor prisoners.

"Hey, stop." At the moment when the energy rifle was about to fire, a loud roar sounded from behind him, and a figure in a white combat uniform appeared behind the Imperial soldier and entered Risson's field of vision, he should be the attacker. Risen knew that the critical moment had come, that he only needed a little time, that he only needed a little delay, and that they would be safe.

He mustered up the last of his strength, and forced his body supported by the bed to fall as fast as he could, his eyesight was very accurate, and the shooting instinct he had cultivated while piloting the starfighter made him see at a glance that the energy rifle in the hand of the Imperial soldier was aimed at his chest, and if he hit it directly, he would definitely die.

Ryson's last-ditch effort paid off, as the Imperial soldier paused as he pulled the trigger due to the sound from behind him, and although he finally pressed down the finger that pulled the trigger, the red beam from the energy rifle failed to hit the target, and the beam grazed Ryson's body, leaving only a small mark on the metal floor.

This shooting mistake was a small thing in normal times, but it meant a lot to the Imperial soldier and Risen at the moment. Risen escaped, and he survived. By the time the Imperial soldier tried to fix his aim and make up for the shot, it was too late, and a green beam of energy hit him in the back of the head, and he fell to the metal floor of his cell without even saying a word.

"Bad luck, the goal is wrong, I didn't expect that what I worked so hard to save turned out to be two imperial soldier prisoners." The white figure glanced at the cell, grunted, and then turned to leave.

"It's so dangerous, I almost got hit." Ressen still had a lingering palpitation in his heart, if he had flashed a little slower just now, what would have happened.....

"yes, my heart almost stopped, hahahaha..... We're safe, that's great. ”

...........

Although it was clear that they had not come for them, Risen and Schneier were overjoyed to have been rescued, and it was unknown what they would do if they fell into the hands of the rebels, but it was undoubtedly much better than falling into the hands of the Imperial Army and the general of the Security Bureau.

Rebel? Risen and Schney had heard of some before, and it was said that a group of people dissatisfied with the Steve family's dictatorship had come together to form a force. The empire is not monolithic, they know this, the stevereign family's hundred years of dictatorship and tough suppression have also created a lot of opponents, and some of these persecuted and suppressed opponents and dissidents have fled to the Earth Federation, which is also an important factor in the deterioration of the relationship between the Galactic Empire and the Earth Federation; Some of those who remained in the Empire went underground and formed rebels against the Empire, which disparagingly called these fellows traitors and their armies rebels.

In the face of the overwhelming military superiority of the powerful Galactic Empire, the rebels are undoubtedly extremely small, they lack training, lack of equipment, lack of supplies, shortage of personnel, especially technical personnel, and the support they receive is also very limited, maybe they have a few hidden bases, maybe they have a few starfighters and a few starships, but these are still far from enough to confront the Imperial Army head-on. The tactics they adopted were basically guerrilla warfare, with sneak attacks and ambushes being common means, and their goals were to disrupt the Empire's lines of communication, seize important intelligence and materials, and attack the Empire's rule. However, once the Empire is lucky enough to find their base, all the rebels can do is to evacuate their personnel and supplies as much as possible from the base before it is razed to the ground by the Imperial army, because defense is impossible for the rebels' weak and pitiful forces.

Before the war with the Earth Federation began, the Imperial Army did not take the rebels seriously. Unexpectedly, due to the beginning of the war, the empire began to draw a large number of troops stationed in the original galaxy to the front line, resulting in a relative emptiness of the rear forces, which gave the rebels a chance, their actions were much more active than before the war, and the attacks on all kinds of lone ships continued, although they did not cause much trouble so far, and the loss of ships and supplies was far below the limits that the empire could bear, but it was indeed a big trouble that plagued the empire.

These are all things that Risen and Schneier used to know when they occasionally talked to other people, but that's all they knew, the person who spoke said a few words and then shut up, the news of the empire was very tightly blocked, especially within the army, and talking about these things was heard by the people of the Security Service, but it would immediately get into big trouble. They used to regard this news as a little anecdote after tea and dinner, and they didn't take it to heart, but they didn't expect that they would have something to do with it today.

..........

The battle on the transport ship was almost over, and an attacker in a white combat uniform reported to his commander.

"Captain, the C3 to C5 prison areas have been fully controlled, the rescue team has cleared all Imperial guards, and the prisoners are safe."

"Well done, what about the casualties?"

"Fortunately, most of the people we want to rescue are safe and sound, and there is no loss of our people, but there are five people killed in the target to be rescued, one of them is a woman, she was killed with her husband, leaving only a nine-year-old daughter, who used her body to block the energy beam for her daughter, which is really miserable."

"Damn it, these inhuman bastards." The captain scolded angrily and kicked against the wall in indignation, "Transfer all the rescued prisoners to the assault ship at once, and then evacuate, we can't delay here for too long, the reinforcements of the Empire will arrive soon." ”

"Yes, Captain, uh......"

"What else?"

"Two Imperial soldier prisoners were also found among the rescued personnel, they are not the target of our operation this time, do you want to take them together?"

"Imperial soldier prisoners?" The Captain muttered, "Do you think it's possible that they're spies from the Empire trying to break into our interior?" ”

"This.... Not really, they were tortured to the point that they couldn't even stand up, and the Imperial soldier I had killed before, he really wanted to shoot them, so you can see that if I moved slowly, those two people would definitely die. ”

"Well, anyway, we still have enough space for our assault boats, don't care about two more people, just take them with us, now we are desperately short of personnel, we need anyone who might be helpful to us, as long as these two people can have a little bit of value, then it will be earned."

"Yes, sir."

Of course, the captain didn't know that the people he rescued "by the way" this time were not only valuable, but also more valuable than he imagined, which was fully reflected in the later battles.
