High-tier Stealth Blade Insect …
A new generation of Stealth Blade Insect was born after Aliya successfully fused the Purgatory Creature DNA with the Stealth Blade Insect over the past decade.
Compared to the time when she fought against the Fearless Fleet at the Weta Defense Line, this high-level Stealth Blade Insect was completely different. It could even be called a new type of combat insect.
How strong was the high-level Stealth Blade Insect?
Strong, very strong!
However, Aliya was still not at ease. Therefore, while dispatching the high-level Stealth Blade Insect, she also sent out ten super Zerg swarms made up of royal Zergs to provide cover for the Stealth Blade Insect's surprise attack.

Newman Galaxy, the front end of the second main spiral arm.
The commander-in-chief of the Federation fleet in this theater was Leo Reed. He was one of the commanders under Lin Fan when he first became a fleet commander. Now, he was a Federation admiral and was the commander of a fleet attack group.
The fifth attack group formed by five fleets had not allowed the Zergs to come within five AU of the battlefield since they arrived.
Perhaps, Leo was the most ordinary commander under Lin Fan's command.
However, it was not because he was incompetent. Rather, compared to the other commanders' amazing commands, his command style was more rigorous. It was closer to Liang Xingchen's style and was the complete opposite of Lin Fan's style.
This style usually progressed very slowly when attacking, but it won in terms of stability. Especially …
When it came to defense, he was definitely one of the top three commanders under Lin Fan's command.
Therefore, after Leo led the fifth attack group, they did not attack the Zergs. Instead, they deployed as if they were defending.
In Leo's own words, the entire galaxy was filled with Zergs. As long as the fleet was here, the Zergs would continue to gather.
Since that was the case, why should he take the initiative to attack? Wouldn't it be better to wait for the Zergs to throw themselves at the muzzle of the gun?
Well, the so-called defense is the best offense …
This sentence was obviously problematic, but for some reason, it didn't sound out of place in Leo's mind.
"Commander, position 133-27, distance 10 AU, Zerg Queen detected!"
"Hmm? Is it Aliya? "
The sudden report also stunned Leo.
It had only been a few hours since the start of the battle, and even those high-level combat insects had yet to come out, but the Zerg Queen had already come out?
It was abnormal. It was extremely abnormal!
"Adjust the remote observation system immediately and receive the image!"
"Yes, adjusting … Aiming at the target, projecting the image!"
Following a series of operations by the observation team, a virtual image suddenly appeared in the bridge. However …
"This …"
"Are you sure it's an Imperial Insect's reaction?"
Looking at the video, Leo was a little surprised. He knew what Aliya looked like, but the one in the video was definitely not Aliya!
Was there an error in the scan?
Or did the Insectoids give birth to a new Insectoid Queen in the past fifteen years?
"Reporting to the commander, according to the energy intensity we have scanned, it is confirmed to be an Imperial Insect!"
"Record the target and related data into the database!"
"Yes, Commander!"
This was interesting. It really was an Imperial Insect that had not shown its face before. But since it was here, it might as well stay!
It was just an Imperial Insect. For the Federation fleet equipped with a new generation of warships, it was no longer a concern. The threat it posed was not even as great as a Purgatory creature of the same level. Leo was confident that he could take it down.
"Commander, position 131-29, same distance 10 AU, another Imperial Insect was detected, and there were also a large number of high-level combat insects. According to the database, it should be the Insectoid Royal Guard Insects, at least ten Super Insect Swarms!"
"What?"
Another Imperial Insect?
'And … there are even ten royal insect guards from the Super Insect Swarm?
Speaking of the Royal Guard Insects, they were like the Royal Guard Insects bred by the King Insect, a powerful combat insect that could only be bred by the Insectoid Queen.
Although this combat insect had not appeared at the Vita Defense Line, it had been used in the battle between the Insectoids and the Purgatory Army. Therefore, its related data was recorded in the Federation's database.
During the pre-battle meeting, Lin Fan had also specifically mentioned this combat insect. It was one of the targets that Lin Fan said could cause some trouble for the fleet.
However, Elio was no longer concerned about the Imperial Insectoids. Instead, he was concerned about the two Imperial Insectoids that were not mentioned in the data.
If they could mobilize two Imperial Insects at this stage of the war, then the Insectoids' foundation was definitely not as simple as just these two.
It seemed …
The Insectoids' speed of development over the years …
It was faster than the Marshal had expected!
"Record this Imperial Insect's data into the database, and immediately report the situation here to the Deputy Commander!"
"Yes, Commander!"

Weisthro Star System, Federation's temporary headquarters, inside the command center of the new Gonggong battle planet.
"Marshal, the fifth attack group, Admiral Leo, sent an urgent report."
"Hmm?"
Together with Liang Xingchen, Lin Fan was studying the progress of the war on a giant virtual star map sand table. When he heard Liang Xue's report, he turned around in confusion. Liang Xingchen did the same.
Both Elio and Lin Fan were very familiar with each other, especially Lin Fan. Logically speaking, the fifth attack group should be the safest war zone. Furthermore, for Elio to send an urgent message in the middle of the war, it was definitely not a small matter.
"Give me the report!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
Retrieving the report from the terminal, a virtual projection of a document appeared in front of Liang Xue. She grabbed it with her right hand and gently pushed it. The document flew steadily toward Lin Fan and was caught in his right hand.
Lin Fan flicked the document, and it instantly turned into more than ten interfaces.
There were observation image data, scanning energy data, and a lot of other information.
After Lin Fan and Liang Xingchen looked at it for a while, they frowned.
Two insectoid emperors that did not exist in the database, plus ten super insectoid swarms composed entirely of imperial insectoids.
"Ask, did the other nine attack groups find similar situations?"
"We have asked, Commander, no!"
"Hmm!"
As the woman who knew Lin Fan the best, when Liang Xue received this report, she had already ordered people to inquire about the other nine attack groups.
Therefore, at this moment, when Lin Fan asked, Liang Xue could give the answer directly.
"What do you think?"
Lin Fan nodded, then looked at Liang Xingchen and asked.
"They probably realized that ordinary insectoid swarms don't pose any threat to us at all, so they sent out some of their resources to try and open up the situation?"
"However, I feel like I've overlooked something. Just two insectoid emperors and ten super insectoid swarms composed of imperial insectoids shouldn't be able to pose too much of a threat to the fifth attack group, right?"
"I don't believe that Aliya doesn't know
about this. There must be some other reason for her actions!"
Liang Xingchen's focus was different from Elio's. He voiced his own conclusion.
