Text One Hundred and Twelve, The Empire's Super Banshee (1)

Inside the Lombardy system.

With a few white flashes of light, a cruiser-class ship and four Lightning fighters appear at the JP7 jump point in this galaxy.

"It's a few minutes behind schedule, but we're finally here, the Lombard system." Risen looked at the star in the distance, which glowed softly orange, and sighed with emotion.

"It's just that at first I thought I wouldn't be able to arrive on time, the Alliance One is a specially modified fast ship, much faster than an ordinary cruiser." Schneier squinted his eyes blinded by the white light, glanced at Alliance One, and replied approvingly.

"Captain, we're not there yet," Jessica reminded softly, "the meeting is taking place in the orbit of Planet Seven, and we're at least forty-five minutes away from there. ”

"Don't worry, Jessica." Before Risen could answer, his friend rushed to answer on his behalf, "Relax, there will be nothing going on, this is the territory of the Lombard government, and when you get here, it can basically be said to be safe, and the Lombard planetary government must not want to be known by the highest authorities of the empire, they are secretly in contact with us, otherwise they would not arrange a secret meeting here, but simply choose the location of the meeting directly on the Lombard planet, since it has chosen here, it means that there is still considerable security and secrecy here." ”

"That's right, but Jessica's words are right, although it is unlikely that she will be attacked, you still can't let your guard down."

"You," muttered his friend, "what kind of instructor you teach." Jessica is about to be ruined by you, I said, where can there be such bad luck, anywhere you can touch the empire? The Imperial fleet we encountered before was already extremely unlucky, can it still be encountered here? I don't believe our luck will be so good. ”

"I don't want to run into it, I'm tired enough to be honest, it's better that things can be safe and smooth. Don't make any more noise, what I need most now is to get a good rest, to get a good night's sleep, we've done more today than we can do......" Risen said tiredly.

"Tsk, indeed. The Imperial forces under your command today have caught up with the results of months of battle in the fleet, and who in the alliance can be as beautiful as you? Ha, you guy, I found that with you, there is nothing else, there are a lot of strange and exciting things, you shouldn't have been an instructor in the first place, maybe now the empire has fallen. His friend joked with regret.

"Damn, you treat me as an immortal, and the empire can perish with a snap of your fingers? I'm not Q. Let me tell you, this time we are lucky, with the help of that nebula, the empire is also unfamiliar with the environment, and does not understand the loss of an unstable star in the nebula, this kind of thing can only be done by chance, and the empire will also learn from the lessons. And it won't happen to that coincidence again......"

………

Just as they were gossiping boringly all the way, the Alliance One fast ship had approached the seventh planet of the Lombard system, Captain Dirk frowned slightly, the seventh planet and the surrounding star fields had entered the detection range of the Alliance One sensor, but there, there was nothing.

"Haven't you found our Lombard friends yet?" He couldn't help but ask again.

"Nope. Captain, there's nothing on the screen, let alone ships, not even a space shuttle. The Transducer Officer shook his head.

"Strange? How could there not be? He couldn't help but stand up. He personally walked over to the monitoring officer's console screen and inspected it, even though he could command the sensor monitoring to be displayed on the large screen. "We took a big risk to get there in time, did they miss the appointment?"

"I don't know, you see, Captain, the display screen is indeed empty, but maybe the Lombard ship is on the back of the seventh planet, obscured by the seventh row of stars, so it was not detected by our sensors, we are still too far away, we need to study some more scriptures, and then we can effectively detect the surrounding star fields of the seventh planet."

"That's all it takes, helmsman, keep course and go full speed." He commanded.

"Yes, Captain."

It doesn't make sense, they should know that I entered from the direction of the JP7 jump point. Captain Dirk wondered, could it be that they really missed their appointments or were late? The failure of such an important meeting is not like the usual style of the Lombards, which is quite embarrassing and embarrassing for the proud Lombard gentlemen.

The Confederacy 1 is getting closer and closer to the seventh planet of the Lombardy system, a gaseous planet covered with thick clouds hundreds of kilometers deep, due to the methane in the clouds absorbing red light, this planet is beautiful, sapphire clear, it also has an earthy yellow halo of gravel and ice crystals, twenty-three large and small, near and far Earth satellites, one of which has faithfully guarded the perimeter of this beautiful planet for millions of years.

With so many moons, and that halo of rubble, ice crystals, and interstellar dust, this is a good place to hide, and the Lombardians have chosen a good place, and if it is peacetime, it is not bad as a scenic spot for sightseeing, and maybe after the war, he can consider getting a luxury interstellar sightseeing tour ship, shuttling through various galaxies, and the ship is full of rich people who come to have fun, as well as those sexy and revealing girls...... Risen leisurely admired the beautiful scenery of Planet Seven, and all kinds of strange thoughts swirled in his head.

Thinking of this, he had an impulse in his heart, until now he had only seen the body of a girl, that was Sonia, that crazy night, that gentle moaning, delicate and fiery jade body, he has never been able to forget, can he ever see her again? And Fei Ren, who has never been able to contact them again, and it has been more than a year since they returned to the Federation, are they okay at the moment? Do you miss yourself as much as you miss them all the time? Or is he like a passing guest in their lives, long forgotten by them?

"Captain, Captain Nigaul." The voice from Alliance One brought him back from his fantasy.

"What's the matter? Captain Dirk. He quickly regained his mind and asked.

"Captain, we have a new situation, so far the remote sensors of Alliance One have not found the Lombard ships, it is possible that their ships are obscured by the Seventh Planet and its moons, perhaps, the Lombardians missed their appointments or were late." The captain said with some concern.

"Oh." Risen was stunned for a moment, then replied unconsciously, "Perhaps, Captain, maybe they've been delayed by other things like us." ”

"Wait. What do you say? Captain, missed the appointment? The Lombardians haven't arrived yet? He reacted suddenly, and asked in surprise, vaguely aware of the possible problem in this, what if the Lombardians were not behind the astral body? Risen sensitively assumed that it meant that they were no-show or late, but how likely is that? Needless to say, the importance of this meeting is needless to say, such an important meeting, with the proud personality of the Lombati people, they have no reason to be late, they are not like the alliance, they have to go around a big *** far away, and there may be a delay in the middle, because the meeting place is at the door of the Lombard people's home.

Could it be that this meeting was actually a trap? Risen thought about it for a moment, and then dismissed the possibility. If it was a complete set set by the Lombardians and the Empire, then there would be no need for the Empire to send a fleet to pursue the Alliance One in the XY-245 star field.

Perhaps, something happened to them and they did delay, and Risen became nervous, if something really forced them to postpone it? Although maybe the matter wasn't as serious as he thought, Risen would rather think it was because of the Imperial Army. Not afraid of 10,000, just in case, he would rather imagine things worse.

The thought of the possibility of an Imperial army nearby gave him a headache. He seemed to understand how the worry on Captain Dirk's face came from.

"I see, Captain," he said after a moment's thought, "the Alliance will be on standby first, and we will carry out a small reconnaissance mission, and if we are sure that there are no problems near Planet Seven, the Alliance One will continue." ”

"I'm sorry, Captain." The captain had a relieved look on his face.

"Everybody come with me," Resson cheered up, switching the comm to the squadron channel, "we're going to do a little scouting to see what's going on around Planet Seven, it's a complicated environment, keep your eyes peeled and keep an eye on your sensor screens." ”

"Understood."

He slowly pushed the thrust lever, and the four lightning fighters formed into two squads, and quickly accelerated away from Alliance One, heading towards the seventh system.

The small scout team quickly made it to Planet Seven, and as Captain Dirk said, there were no anomalies, and no Lombard ships were found, and now it was time to conduct a further search of the planet's backside and other moons and halo belts.

"Spread out, Schneier, you take your squad in from the left, and Jessica and I enter from the right." She commanded simply.

"Got it, man."

"Enemy aircraft, four, ten o'clock bearing, distance 3200." As soon as he circled the arc and entered the back of Planet Seven, the warning device of Rayson's lightning fighter immediately screamed, and Jessica's shrill voice was heard in his cockpit at the same time.

Risen was taken aback, there really was an Imperial fleet operating here, no, not a fleet, there were only two Imperial ships, one was an ordinary Imperial escort destroyer, and the other was a Sabre-class cruiser.

With this little bit of strength, Risen doesn't care about it, the Alliance One is also a cruiser-class ship, and its speed is faster than that of the Sabre-class, so can't it run if it can't be beaten? Not to mention that there is also a squadron of lightning fighters to escort, and with lightning fighters, it is not a fantasy to clean up these two imperial ships.

What really surprised him was the model of the enemy fighter that pounced on them, it was not a banshee fighter.

The computer system on board quickly displayed the appearance of the enemy troops on the screen, and Risen glanced at it, it was familiar, and he remembered the enemy situation that Colonel Alfred had reported to the 17th Air Force of the Raider some time ago.

"Be careful, this is the Super Banshee, the new fighter of the Empire." He suddenly understood, and cried out loudly.
