....... In order to thank these friends who have experienced so many loyal, reliable and trustworthy friends for our cause, all, salute! ”

In the hangar of the Archangel, the crew was neatly arranged, the officers and pilots were in front, the ground crew and ordinary crew were behind, with a command from Risson, they raised their right hands with a brush, and the movements were uniform, the expressions on people's faces were solemn and serious, their eyes were parallel to the straight ahead, and the noise and noise of the entire hangar disappeared, except for the slight roar of the ship's engine, which became strangely quiet.

The men and women who were about to leave with the highest respect, the large and small luggage and suitcases they had been clutching in their hands, had long been ruthlessly abandoned onto the deck, and the beautiful woman with long brown hair and bright purple eyes in the lead saluted their comrades who were still insisting on continuing the fight, many of whom had tears in their eyes and could even hear a slight whimper.

At this moment, time seems to freeze......

These friends who are about to leave are all volunteers sent to the alliance by the former Federation, most of them are former federal soldiers, and they were originally rotated once every six months according to the regulations, but due to the break of the route to the Federation, they can only stay, many people originally thought that maybe the second half of this life will have to say goodbye to their relatives, friends and families in the Federation, and stay in the alliance forever, but they did not expect that the new subspace communication technology allows the Federation and the alliance to get in touch with their relatives again, and the success of the pillar operation. It also made their wish to go home a reality.

It would be a lie to say that they do not miss this period of intense and unforgettable fighting life in the Alliance, and do not miss the friends with whom they fought, laughed and grieved together, and in fact, most people's first reaction when they were notified that they were ready to return to the Federation was ecstatic, but then sad and reluctant silence followed.

Although parting brings sadness and reluctance. But the vast majority of people from the Federation still have to leave the land. These people. Similar to Sonia and the Blue Angels, the girls are all sent by the Federation Army to the Alliance to make 'tolerance' land, although they belong to volunteers, but they are still the establishment of the Federation Army, and the Earth Federation Army issued an order to transfer back these volunteers who have long passed the rotation period out of 'good intentions', and they are Federation soldiers. Orders must still be obeyed; The other part of the group is the hired people, even if not for the hard earned commissions, who would dare to say that they don't want to go back to their long-lost home to see their friends and relatives who have been lost for a long time?

There are also people who really stay, but there are very few, most of them are real volunteers who have no burden or concern, and fight for their beliefs, but this is the most gratifying thing for Rissen. Yao stayed.

"Go ...... well"

"Take care all the way......"

"You too. Take care of yourself......"

"Look at you...... I will be back...... Will definitely be back......"

Touching farewell scenes were staged all over the hangar, and many people hugged their best friends and lovers who were about to leave, and they were reluctant to let go for a long time. Blessings, clapping, laughter, weeping..... Breaking the silence of the previous ground, an unforgettable hybrid symphony is formed in the hangar.

Sonia. Yang stood in front of her beloved Lightning Fighter, gently stroking the cold metal skin of the fighter's pink livery, reluctantly, her lightning had been refurbished and repainted, and it looked like it had just left the factory, since she came to the Alliance, it was this lightning that she had been piloting, it had never let her down, and now, she was about to leave her partner for a while.

"We'll keep her until you come back, and no one is qualified to drive her but you." Risen gently hugged her fragrant shoulder, and from the slight trembling of her delicate body, he could feel the unrest in the heart of this fiery body.

"Thank you, Risson." She whispered, blinking vigorously, trying not to let the hazy mist obscure her vision, "However, this is not necessary, and I don't know when we will be able to come back, and our fighter losses are not small, so let's make the best use of them." ”

She finally reluctantly looked at the pastel tones of the ferocious fighter's exterior, "I don't think she wants to stay in the hangar and become a delicate hangar queen." ”

"Don't worry, I'll take her out from time to time." Risen said half-jokingly, trying to dilute the heavy sadness and sorrow before parting.

"Poof......" The girl was amused by Rissen's words and smiled slightly, "Look at what you said, it's not a prisoner, what a ...... to let it go"

"Hey," Risen said, gently sizing his rounded shoulders

With a pair of slightly sad eyes, he said seriously, "I will think of you and your guarantee." ”

"Yes, I'll be back soon." She couldn't help but plunge into her arms, burying her head in the broad and thick chest in front of her, she could feel that the hands holding her were so tight, so hard, and that heart was beating so violently......

When they parted, Risen clearly felt that his chest was already a little wet, and it was wet with tears.

"What's more," the tears on her face had temporarily disappeared through Ruisen's military uniform, and she turned her gaze to Yao, who was standing on the side, and forced her sorrow to suppress her sorrow, and smiled and teased, "Feilun is still here, how can I be willing to let you two go?" ”

The two girls hugged each other gently, their hands clasped tightly, no more words were needed, a wonderful tacit understanding had been formed between the two, all it took was a look, a simple body language, to understand each other's minds.

"Well, it looks like from now on, he's all yours, take good care of him." She said with a low chuckle.

"I will, take care, take care of yourself, we'll wait for you to come back."

"There won't be any danger in the Federation, it's you guys who really need to worry, I promise, it won't take too long."

She lowered her head, with a hint of playfulness on her face, whispered in Yao's ear, I don't know what to say, and in an instant, the girl's expression was extremely timid, and her snow-white pretty face suddenly became red and hot.

"What are you whispering? Let me hear it. Risen interjected.

"It's none of your business." The two girls glared at him at the same time, which made him wonder, and the girl still changed her face quickly......

........

"Captain, the time is almost up, the Alliance One has arrived, they won't be waiting long." Yao's adjutant, Lieutenant Edita, stepped forward and reminded.

"Thank you, Editta." The girl nodded and motioned, "Sonia, get on board." ”

"Anne, Julie, Iasilia...... Come aboard, we're leaving......"

........

In the eyes of the people, two ambulance support ships carrying personnel who were about to return to the Federation left the Archangel space carrier one after the other and flew towards the nearby Alliance One fast ship.

"They're gone." Schneier stared in disbelief at the faint dots of light emitted by the smaller and smaller blue engines in the distance.

"yes." Risen was also full of melancholy.

"Actually, I think we should escort them to the space hop point, this is still the galaxy of the Empire, isn't it?"

"Don't be stupid, they boarded the Alliance One fast ship, which is a guarantee of safety, don't forget that Elmaidav is also on the Alliance One fast ship." Risen sighed softly, to be honest, he had the same impulse, and he always felt that it was not particularly reassuring not to personally pilot the Confederacy One to the space jump point, but after all, he was the captain of the First Air Force, and reason prevailed over emotion. "There are two space carriers escorted, the Liberator and the Sweeper, they will be fine, the Corcoran system in front of them, the only thing that can threaten Alliance One is the Imperial 11th Fleet trapped on the planet Corcoran, as long as we take care of the 11th Fleet, so that they can't leave the planet Corcoran and intercept Alliance One, it is the best escort for them."

"That's right." His friend grunted twice, and then said, "By the way, I have something to tell you, the rescued Imperial pilots confessed that the fighter team of the cruiser Columbus did not go out this time, but stayed to serve as a guard for the fleet, so you don't have to worry, Captain Clark, and, the problem with the Thunderbirds." ”

Speaking of Captain Clark and the Thunderbirds, he paused obviously, it was clear that these words still had a great influence on him, but what about Resson?

"Let's hope they'll stay in Corcoran honestly." Risen smiled bitterly, "To be honest, in the previous battle, when I pulled the trigger, I could feel the contradiction in my heart. ”

"Me too." Schneier admits that "sometimes I always want to get closer and look twice to see if there are any familiar signs and numbers on the pursuing enemy planes." ”

He glanced at Risen and added, "I just want to see more, and I'll do it when it's time to do it." ”

"Come on, I know, you're not a rookie, alas, as long as you still belong to two camps, it's only a matter of time before you run into them." He sighed lowly, "If only they could join the Alliance." "yes, that's great......
