This was Zach's first time encountering such a situation.
It was as if there was an unknown force interfering with him. No matter how hard he tried, he could not connect to the front array through the spiritual network, let alone observe the battlefield through the front array of combat insects.
It could be said that Zach had lost contact with all the Zerg swarms at the front of the Zerg army.
If these were the Zerg swarms under the three dukes, they would not be affected too much even if they could not be commanded.
After all, they were already within firing range. Even if they did not have any command, they could still cause some trouble for the Fearless fleet, allowing the Zerg army to take the opportunity to advance.
However, the problem lay with these high-level Zergs. These Zergs were new species that had been continuously improved by Aliya over the past hundred thousand years, causing their thinking ability to be suppressed to the limit.
To put it simply, the Combat Bugs were like marionettes.
The advantage of this was that it made all the Zergs easier to control, and they would completely obey orders like Federation soldiers.
However, there was also a huge drawback. Without the command of the Zerg King, these Zergs would really become like marionettes, not moving at all.
This was something that even Lin Tian did not expect.
This device that he had deployed in advance before the start of the battle was actually a device that Bai Zixuan developed after studying the Zerg King's brain.
Its effect was only to interfere with the Zerg's information transmission within a certain range. Its original intention was to cut off the Zerg's command system at a critical moment, thus reducing the combat power of the Zerg swarm.
However, he did not expect that after the device was activated, all the Zergs in front of him would become motionless as if they had turned into statues.
According to the previous plan, shouldn't the Zerg have all become instinctive after losing the command of the Zerg King?
What the hell was going on now?
"Order all fleets to attack with all firepower. Eliminate all the Zergs in front of us as quickly as possible!"
"Yes, Commander!"
In short, no matter what the situation was, they just had to seize the opportunity to do it!
On the defensive line, the Fearless fleet that hadn't attacked for almost an hour let out a roar under Lin Tian's command. In an instant, a dazzling white light rose from the insectoid formation.
The current distance was only 90 million kilometers, less than 1 AU. At such a distance, all the warships of the Fearless fleet had already adjusted their cannons to the space tearing mode, which was the ultimate form of the gravity cannons. Under such an attack, it was like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, sweeping away a large area with one sweep.
However, even if swathes of high-level combat insects were being torn apart by space and turned into cosmic dust, the other combat insects still remained motionless. They were completely unfazed even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of them, and their eyes remained fixed even if a deer was on the left.
This scene made Lin Tian even more surprised. Could it be that this kind of high-level combat insect could only move under the command of the king insect and did not have its own independent thought? Even its biological instincts had been erased?
It had to be said that Lin Tian's guess was correct.
In the past 100,000 years, the combat insects that Aliya had modified not only became stronger, but also completely erased their biological instincts, turning them into marionettes that only obeyed orders.
However, Aliya had never thought that there would be something that could block the mental strength of the insectoids.
Even if she knew, she would still modify the combat insects. After all, it wasn't impossible for her to resist the mental strength blockade.
However, even though Aliya had a way, Zach could only watch helplessly. He did not have Aliya's powerful and special mental strength.
Through the combat insects in the rear formation, Zach saw that the formation in front of him was being slaughtered without even knowing how to fight back. This made Zach's heart turn cold.
How were they supposed to fight this? They were simply sending themselves to their deaths!
"Zach, stand down!"
While Zach was fretting, Aliya's voice suddenly echoed in his mind. That voice was somewhat gentle, but it also carried endless majesty. It was a very contradictory voice.
"Yes, Empress Aliya!"
Soon, other than the combat insects at the front that could no longer be controlled, the rest of the combat insects retreated like a tide.
"Commander, the insectoids are retreating!"
"All of them?"
"No, the combat insects that are within the range of the mental interference device are still in their original state!"
Can't even make them retreat? Sure enough, this new batch of combat insects won't move at all without orders. They're just like marionettes!
Lin Tian could not help but think as he listened to the report from the command team. This was really an unexpected surprise.
"Order all defense areas to hurry up and clean up the remaining insectoids. As for those that are retreating, ignore them!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Half an hour later, without the use of the Zerg Particle Armament, all the combat insects that had lost the command of the Zerg King were wiped out by the Fearless Fleet. This announced the official end of the frontline battle between the Federation and Empress Aliya.
Although this frontline battle had a strong start and a weak finish, it was of great significance to both sides. It could be said that whether it was the humans or the insectoids, they were only probing each other and did not go all out.
The Federation did not use any of their major weapons, including the Zerg Particle Armament. At most, they only tested the gadgets that Bai Zixuan gave them, but they did not expect the results to be so good.
It was the same on the Zerg's side. Even the battle bugs that Emil had mentioned that were specialized in countering phase shields did not appear on the battlefield.
Aliya never expected Zach to be able to directly take down the Vita Defense Line. Similarly, Lin Tian did not expect to be able to damage the foundation of the insectoids.
However, Lin Tian knew that the next time would not be as easy as today.
In fact, any mistake could bring disaster to the entire Fearless Fleet!
-----
Soon, the detailed battle report of this battle was delivered to Lin Fan's hands.
Looking at the battle report, Lin Fan frowned deeply.
Just the basic insectoid unit that was exposed in the frontline battle was already so strong. Then the various rank Zerg King insectoid guards, as well as the special insectoids …
Who would have thought!
In 100,000 years, the insectoids had evolved so much.
The next battle would be the key, but based on the current situation, it would not be easy to fight!
"Inform the Andromeda Galaxy Garrison Commander Lin Yu and the Space Team Leader Li Lizi of the Ministry of Science and Technology to attend an emergency meeting in ten minutes!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
