"Hmmm! Archangel number, here is quiet, nothing. Schneier turned on the communication report to report the situation, and at the same time, his eyes kept looking through the cockpit of the lightning fighter, up and down, back and forth, left and right, trying to find something, although he knew that his naked eye could not see much distance in the universe, but the nervousness and habit made him still involuntarily instinctively do so.

This is the star field XY-1987, the star field of the Radiance and Colonel Riley, and when they were on a mission, Lady Elmeda had warned that the Empire's activities in this star field had increased considerably. Every crew member and every pilot in the fleet tensed their nerves when they entered this star field, especially those who experienced the last ambush, and they were even more apprehensive, as of now, they have not found any crises and situations, and they have not found them, which does not mean that they do not exist.

They had not forgotten the surprise attack they had suffered last time; They did not forget about the Empire's quantum torpedo launchers and unmanned monitors, hidden in rubble and almost undetectable by sensors. Dangerous, but cleverly hidden, things have to be very close to be detected, but when you get closer, they start to act.

Luckily, they had a keyhole warning and control machine to accompany the operation this time, by analyzing the reasons for the attack on the Liberator last time. Analyzing the fragments of shell material from the Empire's unmanned monitors and camouflaged quantum torpedo launchers that they brought back, the Alliance's technicians quickly improved and upgraded the software systems and some of the hardware of the keyholers and sensors on the battleship at an astonishing speed. Theoretically, they should now be able to recognize the Empire's new unmanned monitors or camouflaged quantum torpedo launchers, but they are still not perfect, and the main drawback is that they still have too high a false alarm rate to fit into the Lightning Fighter Ground Sensor System. And it takes a battleship or a keyhole machine to get close enough distance to spot the hidden stuff. But anyway. Compared with the previous helplessness, you can only rely on the naked eye to search, which is already a shotgun change.

For this reason, Risen was finally able to take some peace of mind, and after simulation, at a distance where the keyhole or battleship would be able to spot these camouflaged quantum torpedo launchers, even if they had already been fired. They also had the time to send out alert fighters or rely on their own defensive firepower from two destroyers and the mother ship to effectively intercept these uninvited guests. However, just in case, he still discussed with Fei Lun that when planning the route of the Archangel, try not to get close to the gravel area if it is not necessary.

He suddenly felt a little funny and helpless, the objective existence of the universe such as the gravel area, the ice crystal belt, the interstellar cloud, and so on. It is precisely the friends of the alliance that extensively practiced guerrilla warfare, sabotage warfare, and the strategy of fighting and leaving. An excellent cover for weaker Allies, Alliance pilots are more comfortable fighting in these cosmic environments than Imperial pilots, and now. Was he overly careful to avoid the gravel area they once leaned on? Or is it ......

He wondered, does this mean that the Alliance's strategy has begun to show signs of a shift? Now, with all he knows, and the Liberator in the process of being wounded and repaired, the Alliance already has three fully operational space carriers, and four fast space carriers are under construction, and once completed, the Resistance Alliance will have seven Earth space carriers. What is the concept of seven space carriers? The Empire's elite Fifth Fleet only has three space carriers, although the Alliance's fast space carrier aircraft is not as good as the Imperial space carrier, but it is equipped with lightning fighters, and the overall combat capability is not much worse, seven motherships can be organized into at least two or three fleets, which can no longer be called a guerrilla combat force, perhaps, in the near future, they will usher in .......

"Risson, what are you thinking?" Sonia patted him lightly to remind him to pay attention.

"Oh, nothing, it's just a sudden mess of unrealistic ideas." Risen turned his head and smiled at her, thanking her for her kind reminder that the most important thing was to focus on the present and do the things at hand.

"Is there any report on Keyhole One?" He asked.

"No, they didn't find anything, the two anomalies that were reported before were confirmed to be false alarms." Sonia shook her head, "It seems that we are lucky, the emperor ** is not active around here for the time being. ”

"yes, but we don't want to bother them." Risen nodded, although this was a combat patrol, there was no need to take the initiative, especially after knowing the importance of the Speed, the current priority was to give priority to escorting the Speedy back to the Alliance Headquarters. Battles are fought only when needed.

"I don't like the calm now, it was also calm before we were attacked last time, and the storm came

, the weather is often the calmest, star field XY-1987, this depressed square. Risen grunted.

"Risson," Yao, who was sitting in the captain's seat, turned his head around, his big bright eyes flickered a few times, and asked, "Since we don't like it, then why don't we just leave this star field." “

"Leave? Can this also be done? The order was to get us to the Speed, we have been here for two days, and we have not seen the shadow of this ship, how can we leave? ”

"Confused, you still don't understand what Fei Lun means, if you want to receive this ship, you don't have to stay here." Sonia gave him a gentle thump behind him without a trace.

"That's right," a word woke up the dreamer, Ruisen was stunned, and immediately reacted, the return route of the Rapid is fixed, theoretically speaking, they can receive the ship at any point on this route, there is no need to stay in the XY-1987 star field, of course, it is best to receive this ship in the upstream star field of XY-, if it is the downstream star field, then is it necessary to let them come?

As for the combat patrol in the XY-1987 star field, Resson, Fei Lun and Sonia have never taken it seriously, the focus of this mission, Mrs. Almeda's intentions are obvious, the so-called combat patrol, the time, scope, combat intentions, combat motives, achievement of the goal, etc., have not been explained, and those who understand it can see at a glance that it is just a disguise.

"Whatever you want, I don't have a problem." He suddenly laughed, "Fei Ren, you have already planned to do this. ”

"Yes." The girl admitted, "Since there is no sign of the emperor's activities, we don't need to stay here and wait for them all the time, the longer we stay in this star field, the greater the possibility of being discovered by the empire and attracting the attention of the empire, and the probability of getting involved in the battle also increases, which is very unfavorable for the escort mission, I plan to leave this star field with imperial activities, and after receiving the speed, I can quickly and safely pass through here as quickly and safely as possible and in the shortest time, so as to avoid contact with the emperor, for our escort operation." , that's ideal. ”

"That's right, however, for some of the guys in the Ninth Air Force who are eager to prove themselves, they are probably going to be disappointed, they are training quite actively these days, and they want to find a breath of resentment in the emperor." Risen and Sonia looked at each other, and both smiled knowingly.

"The combat journey of the Archangel has just begun, and there is still a long way to go, they will have a chance, and there are still many emperors, they are there, and they can't run away." She gave Risen a roll of the eyes.

This is what the girl can do now, she only pretended not to see the tacit understanding between the two, but the slightly pursed mouth has involuntarily exposed her heart, she sighed slightly without a trace, she doesn't know what to do now, the three of them have now formed a complex, special but wonderful relationship, she never resisted to ask, Resson and Sonia, when did it become like this, she only knew that she couldn't do without them now, she didn't want to be separated from anyone between Resson or Sonia, She loves to be with them.

She could feel that the two of them had similar thoughts as her, but, if this development continued, what would the three of them be like in the future? It's a time of war, they don't think too much, and when they don't know what will happen tomorrow, it's the most important thing to be happy together, but once the war is over and the plot finally ends, who will be sad to leave in the end? Or is it .......

She is a little envious of Anne, this little girl's relationship is very simple, not so complicated, it is Schneier, and Schneier seems to be dead to her, not like Ressen, a flowery guy......

Her hand suddenly squeezed the armrest of the captain's chair with force, as if she was squeezing someone's flesh, which part hurt the most? Is it subcostal? Still is... Inner thighs?

Her face quietly flushed a little for no apparent reason.

"Fei Ren, what are you going to do?" Sonia asked.

The girl took a deep breath and calmed her thoughts, "We have to take advantage of the fact that the Empire has not yet discovered us, quietly leave this star field, this is not far from the JP2 jump point, we just need to be careful, rely on the remote detection range of the keyhole machine, we can avoid being discovered by the Empire, first leave the star field XY-1987, XY-1988 star field, and wait for the arrival of the Speed, which is the necessary area of the Speed, only the central area of the Annular Nebula can pass through the ship, and it will not be missed." ”

"I'm okay with that, listen to you." Risen nodded in agreement.

"Hmm." Yao cleared his throat and issued an order, "Pick up the Spirit and the Determination, and I'm going to talk to Captain Kane and Captain Soros." "Yes, Captain."
