"Great, Risson, we're coming in, as you calculated." Schneier said happily.

"Of course." Risen said proudly, "The Empire must have discovered our movements, but they intercepted it a little too late, and no one followed us into the nebula. ”

After shaking off the Banshee fighters tracked by the Imperial, their group of fourteen lightning fighters cautiously reached the extension of the nebula, and after confirming that they were safe nearby, they rushed out of the nebula as fast as they could, heading towards the nebula where the Imperial fleet was closely watching, where Alliance One might be hiding.

As soon as they rushed out of the nebula, the Empire had already discovered their movements, and the eight Banshee fighters patrolling nearby quickly came to intercept them, but in the end, the lightning fighters were faster, and they were able to rush into the target Nebula before the Banshees.

"Now, it's time to find Alliance One, where the hell is this nebula?" Risen hesitated, the volume of this nebula was large enough, inside the nebula, the dangerous light blue explosive gas swarm was even denser than the previous nebula, and navigating in it, even small targets such as fighter jets were quite dangerous, for safety, in order to take care of the damaged companions of the two fighters, Resson had to slow down the speed of the lightning fighter jets, which was much slower than the speed in the previous nebula.

He was a little confused. He even began to doubt his own judgment a little. With such a dangerous nebula, does Alliance One really dare to come in? Risen couldn't imagine that even a small target such as a lightning fighter could fly tremblingly, how could a fast ship as large as the Alliance One, a few hundred meters long, avoid such a dense gas swarm? However, if Alliance One is not in it, why is the Imperial fleet concentrated outside the Nebula?

"Captain, if Alliance One really enters this nebula, will it survive?" Just when he was a little unsettled, Jessica asked a question that existed in everyone's minds.

"I don't know." Risen said very dryly, "But, didn't we come here just to confirm the status of Alliance One?" Just big your eyes, stare at the sensor and the outside environment, don't let go of any clues, even if the Alliance One sinks, there should be a few pieces of wreckage left, in short, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death. That's what I'm asking for. ”

He thought for a moment and commanded again. "Schneier, you lead the Thunderbird squadron to disperse, we are divided into two teams, and the other team is led by you, expand the search range, but don't stay too far away, keep within the detection and communication range of the sensor, in case of accidents, although the Imperial fleet did not come in, it is still very possible to send a small group of fighters to infiltrate."

"I understand, man."

………

The two groups of lightning fighters continued to move deeper into the nebula, and the time passed minute by minute, but ten minutes passed, and they saw nothing, fifteen, twenty, thirty minutes、...... Still finding nothing, neither the shadow of Alliance One nor the search for Imperial fighters, Risen began to doubt his judgment a little.

Just as he was getting impatient and thinking about how to withdraw from this star field next, at this time, his sensors detected something, which were a few slow-flying red dots, the Empire's starfighters.

"Schneier, did you see that? What are these Imperial fighters? He was in good spirits and informed his friend.

"I saw it, four dagger attack planes, and two escort banshees. Ah, I see what you mean. ”

"Yes, search missions don't need heavy and slow daggers to perform, they are only needed when launching an attack on a ship, hehe, it seems, we're almost there."

"You're right, Alliance-One should be in front of these daggers, so what should we do with these attack planes?"

"Quietly follow first, the Lightning Fighter's sensors have a large detection range, we can let them lead us to the Alliance One without alerting those short swords, and then, ...... these guys who dare to attack the Alliance One" He made a fierce neck wiping motion.

Ruisson breathed a sigh of relief, although the situation of the Alliance No. 1 has not been confirmed, but judging from the fact that the emperor still sent attack aircraft, the Alliance No. 1 is still safe and sound, at least for now, and he can't help but thank this extremely dangerous nebula, if it weren't for the existence of this lucky piece to limit the operation of the large aircraft group, then what they found would not be a small group of enemy aircraft, and the Alliance No. 1 would have been unable to escape the fate of being sunk.

————————————————————————————————————

Inside this dangerous nebula, through a cloud of light blue explosive gases, here, there is no gas group at all, suddenly there is a safe haven in the vast sea, three ships are carefully maneuvering in this rare haven defense, they form a defensive formation, the various dense energy beams of anti-air defense make the vicinity of the three ships form a dead light belt.

But this can't stop the Imperial Banshee fighters and the Gladiator attack aircraft, the four Gladius fighters under the cover of the six Banshees, constantly trying to launch a new round of attacks on the three ships, the remaining Alliance fighters - one Lightning and two Banshee, simply can't stop the attack of these Imperial fighters, they are too few to play a big role, and even self-protection is a problem, while the other escort fighters have been almost lost in the previous battles.

The Allies are already doing their best, but the situation is still precarious, and even if they can survive this wave of attacks, more Imperial attacks will continue to come. They had succeeded in delaying time, but still not managed to escape the Empire's pursuit, if nothing miracle had happened.

This was the scene that appeared in front of Risen and he was overjoyed that Alliance One was still alive. They're finally catching up. However, when he found out that there were three ships in this safe harbor, he couldn't help but be stunned, although the intelligence also said that there were three ships, but one of the escort destroyers had been destroyed. It stands to reason that there should only be two left. What's going on with this third ship?

Blue dots? This extra ship shows a blue signal instead of a green signal representing a friendly signal. This is a neutral ship, where did it come from? The intelligence doesn't show that there is such a ship.

"Risson, it looks like we've finally found our target." His friend cheered.

"Yes, though, Schneier, there's an extra ship. Uh...... "The computer system of the Lightning fighter quickly analyzed the type of ship. "It's a Pegasus-class transport."

"Well, I saw that too. However, it is not an ordinary Pegasus-class transport, how can there be so much armament on a Pegasus-class transport? It must have been modified. Which faction does this ship belong to? How could you be with Alliance One? ”

"I don't know, but don't worry about it, Alliance One is in dire need of our assistance, I only know now that this ship is defending against the Empire's attack with friendly forces, clearing the Empire's fighter jets first, and we'll know about the rest later."

"Alright then, it looks like we're going to be able to live up to our Imperial friends who were kind enough to show us the way." His friend said wittily.

"Since you say so, then I'll leave it to you, Schnell, you lead the Thunderbird squadron to clean up those kind banshees and shortswords that led us first, you are six lightning fighters against four shortsword attack planes and two banshee fighters, the strength is far superior to them, I want you to complete the mission without losing a single one, and end the battle as soon as possible."

"No problem, leave it to us, if there is still a loss of fighters in this case, I think I will simply commit suicide by jumping into a black hole." His friend confidently assured.

"All the Tulip Squadron members, follow me, let's go and give those Imperial Starfighters who are attacking Alliance One a little bit of power, the Banshee fighters are not a big threat to Alliance One, the main threat is those short swords, so the short sword attack aircraft are your main target."

"Understood, Tulip One."

Risen thought for a moment and added, "After entering the safe area at one o'clock, you can use your image recognition missiles, even if they can't shoot them down immediately, you have to force them to give up the attack, but the sooner you shoot down those short swords, the better, I believe there will be enough image recognition missiles on the Alliance One to replenish, clear?" ”

"Clear, Tulip One."

"Let's get on." He commanded calmly.

The four ion engines of the lightning fighter let out a roaring roar, and the fighter plane quickly rushed forward, flying towards the battlefield in the fierce battle......

At this time on the Alliance One.

Captain Dirk listened to the report of the damage to the ship with a serious face, because the center of gravity of the enemy plane's attack fell on the fast ship of the Alliance One, the damage to this ship was also the most serious, and several decks had been hit and caught fire, in order to extinguish the fire, in order to save the Alliance One, he had to order all the safety hatches near those decks to be locked, and cut off the air supply, he knew that there must be some people still alive in that area, but now, there is no longer so much care.

In addition to the ship's fire, there are many problems with this ship, the shield system was destroyed by the quantum fish launched by the Imperial Stiletto-attack aircraft as early as the XY-245 star field, and the weapon system has just been restored not long ago, and one of the ionization engines of the battleship has not been working, and this ship, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is riddled with holes.

He whispered a few words to one of his assistants, who nodded and turned away from the bridge.

He took a deep breath, turned to the noble woman in the floor-length robe behind him and said respectfully, "Great, ma'am, unless a miracle happens, it will be difficult for the Alliance One to hold on any longer, I suggest you go to the hangar as soon as possible, I have someone to prepare your space shuttle, you can take this ship to the transport ship Hercules, they are familiar with this nebula, and they are neutral ships, they may be able to escape with you." ”

"So what are you going to do?" Lady Almeda's brow furrowed.

"Alliance One will attract the attention of the Empire until the last moment." The captain said firmly.

"Nope." The lady shook her head slightly, "Captain, thank you very much for your sacrifice, but it's useless, the Herculess is no longer a neutral ship, from these well-meaning people just because we escaped here through the space jump point, and took us to hide in this nebula, they have become enemies of the Empire, and the Empire will not let us escape, whether it is the Alliance One or the Hercules." ”

"Madame......" said Captain Dirk hurriedly, "but, after all, there is still a glimmer of hope, and we cannot ...... it."

"Captain......" He was interrupted by a cheer of surprise.

"What's the matter?" He asked, a little annoyed.

The crew's voice trembled as he dared to interrupt him trembled, and he said excitedly, "Come and see, you see that a new group of fighters is rapidly approaching. ”

"What? Here we go again, endlessly. ”

"Still, Captain, these swarms are not Imperial, but our fighters, our Lightning fighters."

"What? It can't be, our people can't find it. The two represented different moods, and Captain Dirk strode to the crew's side in disbelief. However, when he saw the small green dot representing his friendly plane, and saw the familiar shape of the fighter displayed on the screen, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Our Rescue ......"

"It's our people, they've finally arrived, God......"

"What a miracle, how did they get into this nebula and find us?"

With tears in their eyes, people high-fived each other and celebrated each other, and the bridge of the Alliance One turned into a sea of cheers......

"Looks like I don't need a space shuttle." Lady Almeda smiled, wondering which of the Alliance's commanders had been able to spot and find them in time, and she suddenly wanted to meet him...... Wings of the Starry Sky Text One hundred and one, finally found
