The air force had assembled within four hours.
Thirty fighter craft from the resistance army and four hundred from the hive city where Lu Jin was stationed had taken off from the spaceport.
The Rebel Army's fighter formation, the "Valiant Angels," flew interceptors that were not Imperial models. The Valiant Angels had a single mission: prevent the enemy from dropping nuclear weapons on the Rebel Army during the war against Alert Star's nobles.
The hive city's fighter formation in the main combat group was led by a squadron from Alert Star called the "Winged Holy Grail," which flew Valkyrie aircraft.
The Valkyrie was a versatile aircraft used by the Imperial air force, the equivalent of the Thunderhawk gunship in the Astra Militarum. It was heavily armored and powerfully armed.
Aside from bringing in the Winged Holy Grail squadron to assist in the battle, the hive city had also provided a command aircraft called the "Aerial Fortress."
During the Great Crusade, this massive aircraft had carried the Gene-father Corvus to Alert Star's surface. It had later passed into the hands of Tywin and his family, who had upgraded it with the most powerful psychic defense shield.
If Lu Jin had not appeared directly inside the hive city ruled by Tywin, Tywin would have had to take the Aerial Fortress to meet him.
Lion and the commanders of the various formations and squadrons were all aboard the Aerial Fortress.
Four hundred and thirty fighter craft flew steadily around the Aerial Fortress.
The Strategic Image showed thousands of friendly aircraft divided into twelve formations and scattered across different regions.
All combat units were closing in on the area of the Great Northern Continent controlled by the aliens.
