It's finally time to get moving.

Under the unified order of the commander of the reinforced 11th Fleet, General Billis, .; The Cardoso space station and the 11th Fleet, which had just arrived, dispatched their satellites at the same time and were close to the Cardoso space station, so the fighters dispatched by the Cardoso space station were grouped into the first 'wave' attack group, which consisted of sixty-nine 'female' demon starfighters and thirty-three dagger attack planes, and the four Imperial warships stationed in Cardoso left the space station after the first 'wave' attack group and came to intercept the alliance fleet.

Although it is an interception, although the ships are still the four poor ones before, Lieutenant Colonel Mo Dafei is not worried, he knows that under normal circumstances, the protagonists of the battle are not them, in front of them, there is the first 'wave' attack aircraft group, and in their rear, the larger 'wave' attack aircraft group - consisting of one hundred and eight 'female' and super 'female' demon starfighters, ninety-six dagger attack aircraft, is coming, it will not be long before they will catch up with them who are slow, no accident, when they rush to the battlefield, The battle has long been over, and their interception operation, in the final analysis, is just to clean up the battlefield after the war.

However, not everyone is as confident as Lieutenant Colonel Mo Dafei and Lieutenant Colonel Honadok.

Standing on the bridge of the cruiser Copernicus, the two imperial officers were silently watching the various types of ships around them, especially the two space carriers, one after another of the various types of interstellar fighters that were constantly dispatching, and these interstellar fighters were skillfully forming formations in space as they had practiced not long ago. Fly in an orderly manner towards the distant battlefield. Looking at the group of light spots in the distance, one of the officers suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Are you worried about him? Clarke. The elder Imperial Officer, an Imperial Colonel, asked casually.

"With what he's done now, do you still need me to worry about him? Not to mention that Schneier was with him too. The young imperial officer smiled bitterly, "On the contrary, I am now worried about our attack aircraft group, worried about our fleet, I always feel that something is wrong." Captain. ”

"What did you find?" The imperial official standing next to him asked.

"Nope." Captain Clark shook his head. Said helplessly. "It's just intuition, it seems too simple, it's too easy, Risson, Schneier, it only took a few months to win the resounding name of the Empire Twin Stars in the Battle of Henison, are these two people really so easy to deal with? It's that simple. It's not our turn now. ”

"Well, you've produced two outstanding talents, and it's said that the Starfighter Wing on the Archangel is called Tulip Wing and the other is called Thunderbird Wing," the older officer jokingly patted Captain Clark on the shoulder, "They haven't forgotten their roots, and they remember to carry forward your Thunderbird Squadron." ”

"Captain. Don't be sarcastic. If those guys hear it, maybe we're going to have to go through a new round of scrutiny. Captain Clark couldn't help but laugh.

"Afraid of what?" The older officer was unimpressed, "It's all so many rounds." Isn't that the case? I'm just curious, how come they haven't court-martialed us or ordered us to retire early after all this time? ”

"But we basically don't have much to do." Captain Clark said apologetically, "I don't care, just a little captain, but you, Captain Canaris, were already on the list of promoted generals, and even General Bilis and the fleet were implicated. He complained in annoyance, "These two 'bastards' things, especially Risson, will die if they don't become famous, and almost no one in the empire knows his great name, and even with us, the Copernicus, and the 11th Fleet are starting to become famous." ”

Despite the strengthening of internal control, there were not a few people among the emperor who defected to the rebel alliance, pilots, ordinary ship crews, political officials, and marines..... Increasingly, especially in recent years, it would be unrealistic to hold the defector's superiors accountable for this, and the scope of the implication would be too wide, unless there is conclusive evidence that some of the signs were known in advance but not reported, or there were signs of sympathy for the rebels (although many did), or there was negligence in the process...... And so on, the empire generally turns a blind eye to this.

But the impact of Ryson's defection was too bad, from the theft of Lightning's prototype, to the devastating impact of a series of combat operations on the Empire, to the total destruction of the Fifth Fleet, the sinking of the Fortress, the destruction of the Pearl Harbor base, and the destruction of the Piper fleet...... Most of the setbacks of the empire were more or less related to him, and it was really difficult to 'account' if he did not pursue or find someone to take responsibility, but it was impossible to delve into the reasons for his defection - who had the audacity to publicly accuse the Führer's brother, the Imperial General, the head of the Security Bureau. Admiral Steve, that's just impatient.

So

Pointing directly to the squadron when Risen and Schneier served, the captain of the ship in service, and the fleet commander of the team, who made this commander uninteresting, and had no background and backing, just cleaned up together. Poor discipline, easy 'hoodwink', failure to detect the wolf ambitions of Risen and Schneier, and timely strangulation of the Empire's dangerous enemies...... A lot of charges have been deducted, anyway, it's 'desire' plus crime, why is there no word? Fortunately, for the time being, no direct evidence of sympathy and 'private' communication with the rebels was found, and some people who knew the truth within the emperor were really blind, and they came forward to complain a few words privately, which made the security reviewers temporarily restrained, but Rao is so, the relevant personnel have no future in the emperor, and what awaits them is early retirement or retirement after the completion of the service age, and it is already a good result that they are not forced to leave their posts early.

"It's all in the past, what else is there to mention," Colonel Canaris, the captain of the Copernicus cruiser, was silent for a while, "This time let the Thunderbird squadron not join the attack aircraft group, but stay on guard as a fleet escort, it is a little care from General Bilis, but if your intuition is correct, I'm afraid this little care is useless, it won't be long before you finally meet, on the battlefield, I want to ask, what will you do?" ”

"Captain, you don't need to be reminded, I know what to do." A look of pain and contradiction flashed in Captain Clark's eyes, "On the battlefield, either you die or I live, I don't think he will take a closer look at the signs on the enemy plane that he is chasing at high speed before pulling the trigger, and he will not ask the pilot what his name is and if he is an acquaintance he recognizes through the general channel." The captain's expression was firm and resolute, "Neither will I." ”

"That's good, that's good, you know, that's good......" Colonel Canaris muttered the words.

"Archangel, this is Tulip One, Rissen. Lieutenant Colonel Nigaul, ready to sortie. He rubbed his hands together and grasped the '' pole.

"Yes, Tulip One, you're ready to go."

He wasn't the first to make a move, when Ryson's lightning fighter rushed out of the Archangel, he found that his lightning was already in the middle and rear of a group, in front of him and on both sides were friendly fighters, red 'color' and green 'color' anti-collision identification lights flashed near him, even the bright blue 'color' ion tail flame could not be obscured, he gently pushed the thrust lever, slowly accelerated, and the lightning flew straight towards the front of the group.

There is no need to talk nonsense, they are no longer novices, they know what to do, lightning quickly formed a formation of four planes in detachments, he glanced back at random, the light of the orange 'colored' star in the Almeron galaxy illuminated the wingman following him very clearly, and the other lightning fighters were following up, everything was normal.

It didn't take long for almost all the lightning fighters to be dispatched, and the space near the fleet was full of signals from friendly lightning starfighters, and the group was divided into three groups according to their respective units, the Tulip Wing was in the middle, the Angel Wing on the left, and the Thunderbird Wing on the right, the group kept a distance and a loose formation, accelerating towards the first to intercept it. The Wave 'Imperial attack aircraft group flew away, and in their rear, Risen left behind the complaining Black Knight and Snow Wolf squadrons, responsible for guarding the fleet and transport fleet, and taking care of picking up the Imperial fighters that had broken through the fighter lines.

However, this is far from enough, with his many lightnings, he can deal with the attack aircraft group of the first 'wave' empire, but for the second 'wave' attack aircraft group, it is beyond the scope of the independent confrontation of the fifth independent mobile fleet, and there are only two cruisers and four destroyers escorting the Archangel space carrier and the huge transport fleet, which can be said to be a drop in the bucket at all, once the imperial fighters enter the 'firing' range Shoot 'quantum torpedoes, that can hardly intercept many, and the shields and armor of those transport ships are extremely weak, a quantum torpedo that hits accurately can make it go to the western sky, and in the pillar action plan, there is no intention to sacrifice General Oscany's transport fleet.

"Fei Ren, please confirm with General Martin again that the reinforcement group has departed?" He opened the comm and asked uneasily.

"No problem, don't worry." The 'girl' replied to him very dryly, "Just confirmed, Colonel Taylor's reinforcement group is already on the way, you just need to concentrate on dealing with the first 'wave' of imperial attack planes from Cardoso Space Station, and the second 'wave' of Colonel Teller sent by the 11th Fleet to deal with it." "Understand, 'hand' it over to us."
