Fighter? !

He stared in amazement at the fighter plane that was getting closer and closer to them in front of him, but before He Zijia gave an order, he only heard the sound of [Boom----], and the fighter plane that was rushing towards them dropped two A light bullet barely grazed the top of their command ship and flew over He Zijia's head.

Boom------

Boom ------

The command ship, completely caught off guard, was like a child awakened from a nightmare. With the precise strike of two light bullets, two huge holes were instantly burned out in the command cabin and tail fin of the command ship by the high temperature of the light bullets.The entire command ship was plunged into a terrifying sea of ​​flames.

"It means... Commander, are you alright?!"

Desperately dragging He Zijia, who was about to fall into a coma, from the console to the escape cabin, the crew member asked in panic while shaking He Zijia.

"Hurry up... quickly call the 881 ship in the Alpha area and ask for support!"

He Zhijia, who was still immersed in the moment when the command cabin exploded, even forgot about taking the 211 fleet out of the federation privately this time, said with a shattered liver and gallbladder.

……

"Hehe, that battleship just now is their command ship, right?"

This side, on the fighter plane.

Seeing that the federal fleet, which was supposed to be waiting for them to throw themselves into the net, is now in a mess, Cook smiled excitedly.

[Yes, the Federation's famous 211 Fleet.But the current commander is He Zijia. 】

In the communication window, Rex's grinning voice sounded.

"He Zijia? No wonder."

The new Supreme Commander of the Federation is a worthless idiot, and no one in the Empire knows this.Whether this point is He Zijia's own lack of ability, or the previous Ling En was too impressive, so it directly affects people's views on He Zijia, I'm afraid no one can tell.

【Why, do you still hope that the other party is Ling En? 】

Hearing what he said, Rex immediately joked.

"Cough... Well, of course! Ling En... has always been my idol."

After all, two suspicious blushes immediately appeared on Cook's face, but fortunately he was on a fighter plane, so no one could see him, "Pike, you used to be a member of the Federation's crew, have you seen Ling En?"

[Ling En...? 】

Although I couldn't see the expression on Pike's face, but hearing his voice, Pike seemed to smile wryly, [The Supreme Commander is a very remarkable person.When I was in the Federation, I was just a captain, how could I have the opportunity to meet him. 】

"Is that so..."

Unaware of the unnaturalness in Pike's tone, Cook said energetically, "Since the Supreme Commander has passed away, let's catch the fake He Zijia and take a good look at it!"

【Oh Well. 】

Aiming at the escape ship that broke away from the command ship, as if to avenge Pike who was suppressed by He Zijia in the past, Cook pressed the launch button of the fighter.

[The target has been aimed. 】

【three】

【two】

【One】

【Strike—】

boom -

[The opponent's tail has been hit, and the damage degree of the enemy ship is 50.00%.Wait for the next instruction. 】

[Hehe, well done, Cook! 】

【Great, old Ku~】

In the fighter planes shared by the communication window, Cook's [record] can be heard, and the voices of other crew members rang out one after another.

"Hehe. The second battleship is calling the mothership."

Seeing that half of the escape cabin He Zijia was riding in was burned down by the intense flames, Cook couldn't wait to press the button of the communication window.

"The opponent's command ship has been destroyed, and the escape cabin is damaged to 50.00% Seven, please give the next step instructions."

drip-drip-drip-

However, after waiting for a while, there was a busy tone that could not be connected to the contact window.

"What's the matter? It's strange."

Pressing the contact window again heavily, Cook's voice sounded again.

"The No. 50.00 battleship called the mothership. The opponent's command ship has been destroyed, and the escape cabin is damaged to [-]% Seven, please give the next step instructions."

but--

drip-drip-drip-

"What's going on?"

The communication window of the mothership is integrated with the fighter plane. Even in the worst case of signal, there will be no problems such as being unable to connect.After calling the mothership twice in a row, no one answered, Cook couldn't help frowning.

[What's wrong, Cook? ] Hearing the strangeness in the communication window, Rex asked.

"Rex, why don't you contact the mothership, I can't get through here."

【OK. 】

Raising his eyebrows, Rex also pressed the contact window.

"Boss~~~"

Drip...drip...drip—

"It's really weird."

He muttered silently, for some reason, a very bad feeling suddenly emerged in Rex's heart.

"Boss?"

Didi...beep——

After the [beep] sound, it was completely blank.Even the notification sound of being unable to connect no longer sounded in the contact window.

"Boss!?"

[Rex, what's wrong? ? ? 】

Hearing his suddenly raised voice, the crew members in the other fighters asked one after another.

"It's nothing, you keep attacking, I'll go back and have a look!"

unusual.

This situation is absolutely not normal!

If Ling Tianen heard their call, it is absolutely impossible not to answer.And the only situation that makes him not answer...!

Not daring to continue any longer, Rex headed back to where Ship 81 was without saying a word.

According to the situation they detected before, there should be no enemy ships around the mothership. Moreover, the 81 ship should have enough firepower. Could it be that they missed the detection of the enemy ships hidden around?Or……

The opponent's goal from the very beginning was to send out all the fighters, and the mothership could not be supported by itself! ?

Shaking his head, he drove the fighter plane to the highest speed. After 3 minutes, Rex finally got out of the zigzag area and came to the entrance.

However, the scene at the exit made Rex completely dumbfounded.

In the entire c2101 area, where is the shadow of the mothership! ?

……

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

[Rex? 】

[Rex, what's wrong with you, what's the matter? ! 】

Hearing Rex's yell, all the battleship communication windows here lit up their indicator lights one after another.

"Everyone return to the c210e area immediately!"

Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Rex gritted his teeth and said loudly.

Now, he finally knows the purpose of the 211 fleet.

Knowing that Ling Tianen would see through the ambush, he deliberately arranged for a fleet like 211 to ambush in the zigzag area. The purpose was to distract them and let the mothership be alone, and the real target of the other party was actually the mothership!

Now, the other party's goal has been achieved, but they don't even know who the other party is or what the purpose of doing this is, and Ling Tianen's whereabouts are also unknown. How can Rex not be in a hurry in this situation? !

[Rex Owen, No. 81 fighter plane of the [-]st Fleet, called the headquarters of the Black Hawk Star. 】

Rex couldn't sit still when he thought of the other party's deliberate efforts to let Ling Tianen take the order.

Gritting his teeth, Rex pressed the red key that dialed directly back to Black Hawk Star without even thinking about it.

[81 Fleet mothership is missing, the whereabouts of the major general are unknown, request immediate support, repeat again——]
