"Oh...... No, no...... Oh no, we have a new situation......" Just as Risen was still trying to adjust to the change in this role, thinking about what he should do now, an officer in charge of the sensor who had only suffered a minor injury had already exclaimed, "Major Three Emperor** The ship and a large number of Imperial starfighters have just jumped into the XY-1987 star field, an Imperial-class space carrier, a Sabre-class cruiser, and a river-class destroyer, twelve class Banshee starfighters, two keyholes, and two guardians, the Empire's space carrier is dispatching, its Banshee and Gladiator, we have company, sir, what now? ”

Although he knew that Emperor ** would definitely not just shoot this wave of quantum torpedoes, he was still shocked by Emperor **'s timing and coordinated cooperation: when the Liberator was hiding in the nebula before, although the Imperial battleship could also jump into this star field immediately to attack, the Liberator was far away from the space jump point, and compared to the Imperial battleship, it was still very possible to escape from the pursuit of the Empire under the cover of the lightning fighter; But it's not okay to let the Liberator get too close, if you wait until the Liberator has reached the range of the energy pulse torpedo before attacking, then the Liberator can fire a torpedo at any time to block the space jump point, at that time, even if the ambushed quantum torpedo can severely damage the Liberator, but there is no follow-up attack, it is still very likely that the ship will escape, the best moment of attack should be the moment before the Liberator is about to enter the range of the energy pulse torpedo. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

Now it seems that the situation is quite clear, the emperor ** is not sleeping, they have been waiting for the alliance to throw themselves into the net, waiting for the moment before the liberator is about to enter the range of the energy pulse torpedo before attacking, even if the first wave of quantum torpedo attacks did not work, the emperor ** fleet can also enter this star field before the alliance blocks the space jump point, because the distance has been greatly shortened. Even with the cover of lightning, the Liberator would not be able to escape quickly, and it was only a matter of time before it was heavily damaged and sunk by the continuous attacks of the Imperial-class space carriers......

This was the trap carefully set by Colonel Riley. The Colonel wanted to sink the rebel's fast space carrier, not just crush it. If it can't be sunk on the spot, then with the efficiency of the modern shipbuilding industry, it will be repaired in a few months at most, and it will make a comeback, and it is better to break one finger than to hurt its ten fingers, this truth, the colonel still understands that the number of ships in the alliance is not as large as the empire, especially on the space carrier, and the current intelligence agency of the empire is only one in the battle sequence of the alliance ship. This new fast space carrier must have just been built and entered service for a short time, and this is a perfect opportunity, and if it can be sunk, it will deal a heavy blow to the strength of the fast alliance fleet.

What's more, the emperor has suffered too much in the hands of the rebels recently. But there was no decent victory from the rebels, which directly led to the low morale and morale of the army, and the empire urgently needed a decent victory, although it was a major victory to be able to severely damage a fast space carrier of the Alliance, but it was far from enough, especially for Colonel Riley, who was by no means satisfied with a heavy blow, and his victory should be a flawless and brilliant victory.

"It seems that our quantum torpedo attack did not disappoint us, and the rebel space carrier seems to have suffered heavy damage. Our banshees and daggers are on the move, but rebel fighters are already on to intercept them. The intent is to disrupt our offensive before our planes are fully deployed and formed, Colonel. They're really moving fast enough. Colonel Blanche, the captain of the Imperial-class space carrier Radiance, looked carefully at the screen and said to Colonel Riley, who was standing on the side watching the battle.

"This group of approaching rebel fighters was dispatched before the attack, otherwise they would not have been able to be so fast, my banshee will try to hold them back, but there are many enemy planes, and the number of our new fighters is too small, even if there are keyholes and guards, it won't take long for your people to speed up as much as possible." Colonel Riley said quietly.

No one saw the colonel's slightly frowning brow, this situation was something he hadn't foreseen beforehand, dozens of fighters of the rebels left the mothership early, and when the Radiant space carrier jumped in, the rebel fighters were not too far from the space jump point, and it barely took too much time to approach the front of the Radiance, and the banshees and shortswords on the Radiance were not so fast to be able to all sort, and now they could only rely on a few banshees who had attacked and the banshees who jumped directly to compete with the rebels' dominant lightning, which instead posed a mortal danger: If the rebels' lightning fighters are equipped with a large number of quantum torpedoes, with the synchronous particle cannon on the plane, they will resolutely attack before the imperial fighters are fully dispatched, and it is very likely that they will be severely damaged or even sink the Radiance before the emperor can launch his military forces, and the situation will be completely reversed.

However, Colonel Riley was lucky, the situation he feared did not appear, those Lightning's basic tasks were for escort and cover, and the equipment on it was basically anti-air armament, and no one in the alliance thought of this, Captain Aristide was seriously wounded, the co-captain was killed, Resson and Philen were busy dealing with the mess on the Liberator, and Sonia was thinking about covering Schneier, who was closest to the space jump point, covering the heavily damaged Liberator, attacking the banshees and daggers who had just taken off from the mothership......

Seeing that there were more and more junior banshees and short swords, Colonel Riley finally put his mind at ease, although the attack was temporarily disorderly and chaotic under the interference of the rebel fighters, but at least there should not be a situation of being attacked by the rebels, and the colonel believed that under the command of Keyhole, everything would become orderly, and the mothership could not run, which was also revenge for the last combat operation on the seventh planet of Lombardy, he lost one person, and he wanted to recover this account from the rebels.

The rebels had missed the best of times, and when the time had passed, it would not come again, and he felt a little regret and pity for the poor rebel scum.

However, this weakness must be carefully watched in the future, and the colonel can't help but think carefully if he has a little more warning time. That's not the slightest amount of troops, given him too little time to prepare, which is already the maximum he can get in a limited amount of time, since the fall of the Fifth Fleet and a series of counterattacks by the rebels. Everywhere the forces are tight, and the empire is not like an alliance. There are too many places that need to be guarded, and the border systems adjacent to the Federation alone contain a large number of troops, but fortunately, the Radiance is nearby, otherwise the opportunity will not be seized; In addition, the Banshees will also need to end testing and ramp up production as soon as possible, as these new machines are better armed, have better maneuverability, and have the ability to jump in space. Unlike banshees and daggers, which can only be carried by the mothership for space jumping, if the radiance is full of tier-level banshees, and all the banshees have been dispatched before jumping, why should they consider being counterattacked by the rebels with a time difference? Merely. The Banshee fighter has a huge number of equipment in the Emperor**, and it is indeed a big expense to replace them all, but this is no longer a problem for him to consider......

"Can the Colonel ask you a question?" Captain Blanche of the Radiance interrupted his thoughts.

"What's the problem?" Colonel Riley was a little upset to be interrupted, but he didn't express his displeasure.

"Colonel, how did you know that this rebel space carrier would be close to a space hop point? If the rebel mothership stays in the nebula and only sends two fighters to check on it, won't our arrangement be in vain? Captain Blanche asked, confused.

"Hmph, it's just a gamble." Colonel Riley replied coldly. "Since the rebels learned about the energy pulse torpedo, blocking space jump points and then escaping has become their usual method, and it is also easy to form habitual thinking. Starfighters, on the other hand, cannot carry energy pulse torpedoes, and only battleships can carry this special weapon. The rebels only have one ship, and I think it's worth betting on whether this ship will get closer to the space jump point because of this. ”

He turned his gaze to the Liberator in the distance, "If the enemy ship really stays where it is, away from the space jump point, then it will be cheap, but the problem is that we have already won the bet......"

"I have to go outside." Risen said worriedly, the current situation is very unfavorable for the Liberator.

"You're leaving your command position?" The girl looked at Risen in disbelief.

"My command position is more appropriate for being outside, than here...... here," Risen took the girl's hands...... It's your place. ”

"Me? Captain Risen Aristide puts you in command and tries to save the ship. ”

"But Captain Aristide also asked you to assist me, Fei Lun commanded the ship, I am far inferior to you, I know very well, especially in such a dangerous time, it is more necessary to have experienced people to take us through the difficulties, and leave it to me and Sonia outside." He stared into those dark eyes and said word by word.

"I ......" the girl wanted to say something, but was stopped by the firmness in Ressen's eyes.

Without saying anything, he opened the internal communications of the Liberator and announced his decision in a deep voice: "All the crew of the Liberator, I am the acting commander Risson. Major Nigaul is sure it is clear to all of us that we have been attacked suddenly, that our ship has been badly damaged, that Captain Aristide has been wounded, that our situation is critical, and that it seems that we are doomed. ”

His voice echoed around the ship, "But I never believed in anything, and I never lost hope, I have faith in our crew, in this ship, in the Resistance Alliance, and together, we can survive this, just as our Alliance has experienced before." ”

"From now on, Captain Hua Yunyun will be the acting captain of the Liberator, I hope that everyone will obey the captain and carry out the orders assigned by the captain, Captain Hua Yunyun was the captain of a highly decorated battleship before, she knows how to deal with this complicated situation, and she can lead us through the difficult times."

"Good luck to us. Rissen. Major Nigaul finished. ”
